< Chronicles II 12 >

1 And it came to pass when the kingdom of Roboam was established, and when he had grown strong, [that] he forsook the commandments of the Lord, and all Israel with him.
Tango bokonzi ya Roboami elendisamaki mpe ye moko akomaki makasi, ye mpe Isalaele mobimba basundolaki Mobeko ya Yawe.
2 And it came to pass in the fifth year of the reign of Roboam, Susakim king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem, because they had sinned against the Lord,
Boye, lokola bazalaki lisusu kotosa Yawe te, Shishaki, mokonzi ya Ejipito, abundisaki Yelusalemi na mobu ya mitano ya bokonzi ya Roboami.
3 with twelve hundred chariots, and sixty thousand horses: and there was no number of the multitude that came with him from Egypt; Libyans, Trogodytes, and Ethiopians.
Ayaki wuta na Ejipito elongo na bashar nkoto moko na nkama mibale, basoda nkoto tuku motoba oyo babundaka likolo ya bampunda elongo na mampinga ya basoda ebele oyo motango na bango ekokaki kotangama te: basoda ya mokili ya Libi, ya Suki mpe ya Kushi.
4 And they obtained possession of the strong cities, which were in Juda, and came to Jerusalem.
Abotolaki bingumba batonga makasi ya Yuda mpe akendeki kino na Yelusalemi.
5 And Samaias the prophet came to Roboam, and to the princes of Juda that were gathered to Jerusalem for fear of Susakim, and said to them, Thus said the Lord, You have left me, and I will leave you in the hand of Susakim.
Bongo, mosakoli Shemaya akendeki epai ya Roboami mpe bakambi ya Yuda oyo basanganaki na Yelusalemi tango bamonaki Shishaki kopusana. Alobaki na bango: — Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: « Bosundolaki Ngai, yango wana Ngai mpe nasundoli bino na maboko ya Shishaki. »
6 And the elders of Israel and the king were ashamed, and said, The Lord [is] righteous.
Mokonzi elongo na bakambi ya Isalaele bamikitisaki, bandimaki mabe na bango mpe balobaki: — Yawe azali sembo!
7 And when the Lord saw that they repented, then came the word of the Lord to Samaias, saying, They have repented; I will not destroy them, but I will set them in safety for a little while, and my wrath shall not be poured out on Jerusalem.
Tango Yawe amonaki ete basili komikitisa, Yawe alobaki lisusu epai ya Shemaya: — Lokola basili komikitisa na kondima mabe na bango, nakobebisa bango te; kasi kala mingi te, nakokangola bango, mpe kanda na Ngai ekokitela Yelusalemi te na nzela ya Shishaki.
8 Nevertheless they shall be servants, and know my service, and the service of the kings of the earth.
Nzokande bakokoma bawumbu na ye mpe, na bongo, bakoyeba bokeseni nini ezali kati na kosalela Ngai mpe kosalela bakonzi ya bamboka mosusu.
9 So Susakim king of Egypt went up against Jerusalem, and took the treasures that were in the house of the Lord, and the treasures that were in the king's house: he took all; and he took the golden shields which Solomon had made.
Shishaki, mokonzi ya Ejipito, abundisaki Yelusalemi, azwaki bomengo ya Tempelo ya Yawe mpe ya ndako ya mokonzi. Azwaki penza biloko nyonso, ezala banguba ya wolo oyo Salomo asalisaki.
10 And king Roboam made brazen shields instead of them. And Susakim set over him captains of footmen, as keepers of the gate of the king.
Na esika ya banguba ya wolo, mokonzi Roboami asalisaki banguba ya bronze mpe apesaki yango epai ya bakonzi ya bakengeli ekotelo ya ndako ya mokonzi.
11 And it came to pass, when the king went into the house of the Lord, the guards and the footmen went in, and they that returned to meet the footmen.
Tango nyonso mokonzi abandaki kokende na Tempelo ya Yawe, bakengeli bazalaki kokende elongo na ye, bazalaki komema banguba mpe kozongisa yango kati na ndako ya bakengeli.
12 And when he repented, the anger of the Lord turned from him, and did not destroy him utterly; for there were good things in Juda.
Lokola mokonzi Roboami amikitisaki na kondima mabe na ye, Yawe akitiselaki ye te kanda na Ye mpe abebisaki ye penza te. Kutu, emonanaki lisusu makambo malamu kati na Yuda.
13 So king Roboam strengthened [himself] in Jerusalem, and reigned: and Roboam was forty and one years old when he began to reign, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, in the city which the Lord chose out of all the tribes of the children of Israel to call his name there: and his mother's name was Noomma the Ammanitess.
Mokonzi Roboami alendisaki bokonzi na ye, na Yelusalemi mpe akonzaki. Azalaki na mibu tuku minei na moko ya mbotama tango akomaki mokonzi, mpe akonzaki mibu zomi na sambo na Yelusalemi, engumba oyo Yawe aponaki kati na mabota nyonso ya Isalaele mpo na kotia kuna Kombo na Ye. Kombo ya mama na ye ezalaki « Naama. » Naama azalaki moto ya Amoni.
14 And he did evil, for he directed not his heart to seek the Lord.
Roboami asalaki mabe, pamba te amipesaki te, na motema na ye mobimba, mpo na koluka Yawe.
15 And the acts of Roboam, the first and the last, behold, are they not written in the book of Samaia the prophet, and Addo the seer, with his achievements.
Makambo mosusu oyo etali bokonzi ya Roboami, kobanda na ebandeli kino na suka, ekomama kati na buku ya misala ya mosakoli Shemaya mpe ya momoni makambo Ido, buku epai wapi emonani milongo ya mbotama. Ezalaki tango nyonso na bitumba kati na Roboami mpe Jeroboami.
16 And Roboam made war with Jeroboam all [his] days. And Roboam died with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David: and Abia his son reigned in his stead.
Roboami akendeki kokutana na bakoko na ye, mpe bakundaki ye kati na engumba ya Davidi. Abiya, mwana na ye ya mobali, akitanaki na ye na bokonzi.
