2 Kings 17
1 In the twelfth year of Ahaz king of Judah, Hoshea the son of Elah began to reign in Samaria over Israel for nine years.
Tango Akazi, mokonzi ya Yuda, akokisaki mibu zomi na mibale na bokonzi, Oze, mwana mobali ya Ela, akomaki mokonzi ya Isalaele na Samari. Akonzaki mibu libwa.
2 He did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, yet not as the kings of Israel who were before him.
Oze asalaki makambo mabe na miso ya Yawe, kasi ndenge moko te na bakonzi ya Isalaele, oyo bazalaki liboso na ye.
3 Against him came up Shalmaneser king of Assyria; and Hoshea became his servant, and brought him tribute.
Salimanasari, mokonzi ya Asiri, ayaki kobundisa Oze. Mpe Oze akomaki mowumbu mpe akomaki kofuta mpako epai ya Salimanasari.
4 The king of Assyria found conspiracy in Hoshea; for he had sent messengers to So king of Egypt, and offered no tribute to the king of Assyria, as he had done year by year: therefore the king of Assyria shut him up, and bound him in prison.
Kasi mokonzi ya Asiri asosolaki ete Oze asaleli ye likita, pamba te Oze atindaki bantoma epai ya So, mokonzi ya Ejipito, mpe atikaki kofuta mpako epai ya mokonzi ya Asiri ndenge azalaki kosala mobu na mobu. Boye Salimanasari akangaki Oze mpe atiaki ye na boloko.
5 Then the king of Assyria came up throughout all the land, and went up to Samaria, and besieged it three years.
Mokonzi ya Asiri akotaki na makasi na mokili mobimba, abundisaki Samari mpe azingelaki yango mibu misato.
6 In the ninth year of Hoshea the king of Assyria took Samaria, and carried Israel away to Assyria, and placed them in Halah, and on the Habor, the river of Gozan, and in the cities of the Medes.
Tango Oze akokisaki mibu libwa na bokonzi, mokonzi ya Asiri abotolaki Samari mpe amemaki bana ya Isalaele na bowumbu na Asiri. Atiaki bango na Ala mpe na bapembeni ya ebale ya Abori, na etuka ya Gozani mpe na bingumba ya Medi.
7 It was so, because the children of Israel had sinned against the LORD their God, who brought them up out of the land of Egypt from under the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and had feared other gods,
Makambo oyo esalemaki mpo ete bato ya Isalaele basalaki masumu liboso ya Yawe, Nzambe na bango, oyo abimisaki bango wuta na bokonzi ya Faraon, mokonzi ya Ejipito; bagumbamelaki banzambe mosusu.
8 and walked in the statutes of the nations, whom the LORD cast out from before the children of Israel, and of the kings of Israel, which they made.
Balandaki bizaleli ya bikolo oyo Yawe abenganaki liboso na bango mpe makambo oyo bakonzi ya Isalaele bakotisaki.
9 The children of Israel did secretly things that were not right against the LORD their God: and they built them high places in all their cities, from the tower of the watchmen to the fortified city;
Bato ya Isalaele basalaki na nkuku makambo ya nkele na miso ya Yawe, Nzambe na bango. Batongaki bisambelo ya likolo ya bangomba kati na bingumba na bango nyonso, kobanda na likolo ya bamir ya lopango kino na bingumba batonga makasi.
10 and they set them up pillars and Asherim on every high hill, and under every green tree;
Batelemisaki mabanga ya bule mpe makonzi ya nzambe mwasi Ashera na likolo ya bangomba nyonso mpe na se ya banzete nyonso ya mibesu.
11 and there they burnt incense in all the high places, as did the nations whom the LORD carried away before them; and they worked wicked things to provoke the LORD to anger;
Batumbaki ansa na bisambelo nyonso ya likolo ya bangomba, ndenge bikolo oyo Yawe abenganaki liboso na bango ezalaki kosala. Basalaki makambo mabe oyo etumbolaki kanda ya Yawe.
12 and they served idols, of which the LORD had said to them, "You shall not do this thing."
Bagumbamelaki banzambe ya bikeko oyo na tina na yango Yawe alobaki: « Bokosala bongo te. »
13 Yet the LORD testified to Israel, and to Judah, by every prophet, and every seer, saying, "Turn from your evil ways, and keep my commandments and my statutes, according to all the law which I commanded your fathers, and which I sent to you by my servants the prophets."
Yawe akebisaki Isalaele mpe Yuda na nzela ya basali na Ye nyonso, basakoli mpe bamoni makambo, na maloba oyo: « Botika banzela na bino ya mabe, bobatela mibeko mpe bikateli na Ngai kolanda mibeko nyonso oyo napesaki bino mpe bakoko na bino na nzela ya basali na Ngai, basakoli. »
14 Notwithstanding, they would not listen, but hardened their neck, like the neck of their fathers, who did not believe in the LORD their God.
Kasi bayokaki te; batiaki moto makasi lokola bakoko na bango, oyo baboyaki kondimela Yawe, Nzambe na bango.
15 They rejected his statutes, and his covenant that he made with their fathers, and his testimonies which he testified to them; and they followed vanity, and became vain, and followed the nations that were around them, concerning whom the LORD had commanded them that they should not do like them.
Babwakaki bikateli na Ye, boyokani oyo asalaki elongo na bakoko na bango mpe makebisi oyo apesaki bango. Balandaki bikolo oyo ezalaki zingazinga na bango. Yawe apesaki bango mitindo ete basala te lokola bango, kasi bango basalaki kaka makambo oyo Yawe apekisaki bango kosala.
16 They forsook all the commandments of the LORD their God, and made them molten images, even two calves, and made an Asherah, and worshiped all the host of heaven, and served Baal.
Batikaki mitindo nyonso ya Yawe, Nzambe na bango, mpe bamisalelaki banzambe ya bikeko ya bana ngombe mibale basala na bibende oyo banyangwisa na moto, mpe likonzi ya nzambe mwasi Ashera. Bango nyonso bagumbamelaki mampinga nyonso ya likolo, mpe basambelaki nzambe Bala.
17 They caused their sons and their daughters to pass through the fire, practiced divination and sorcery, and sold themselves to do that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, to provoke him to anger.
Batumbaki na moto lokola mbeka bana na bango ya mibali mpe bana na bango ya basi. Basalelaki soloka mpe kindoki, mpe bamikabaki mpo na kosala makambo mabe na miso ya Yawe. Boye batumbolaki kanda ya Yawe.
18 Therefore the LORD was very angry with Israel, and removed them out of his sight: there was none left but the tribe of Judah only.
Yawe asilikelaki makasi bana ya Isalaele mpe abenganaki bango mosika na Ye. Kaka libota ya Yuda nde batikalaki.
19 Also Judah did not keep the commandments of the LORD their God, but walked in the statutes of Israel which they made.
Nzokande, libota yango mpe ya Yuda babatelaki te mitindo ya Yawe, Nzambe na bango, balandaki bizaleli oyo Isalaele akotisaki.
20 The LORD rejected all the descendants of Israel, and afflicted them, and delivered them into the hand of plunderers, until he had cast them out of his sight.
Boye, Yawe abwakaki bana nyonso ya Isalaele, ayokisaki bango pasi, akabaki bango na maboko ya bato ya mobulu, mpe abenganaki bango mosika na Ye.
21 For he tore Israel from the house of David; and they made Jeroboam the son of Nebat king: and Jeroboam drove Israel from following the LORD, and made them sin a great sin.
Tango Yawe alongolaki Isalaele na se ya bokonzi ya Davidi, bana ya Isalaele bakomisaki Jeroboami, mwana mobali ya Nebati, mokonzi na bango. Jeroboami atindikaki Isalaele ete balanda Yawe te, mpe amemisaki bango lisumu ya monene.
22 The children of Israel walked in all the sins of Jeroboam which he did; they did not depart from them;
Bato ya Isalaele bakangamaki na masumu nyonso ya Jeroboami mpe batikaki yango te
23 until the LORD removed Israel out of his sight, as he spoke by all his servants the prophets. So Israel was carried away out of their own land to Assyria to this day.
kino tango Yawe abenganaki bango mosika na Ye, ndenge ayebisaki bango na nzela ya basali na Ye nyonso, basakoli. Boye, bamemaki bana ya Isalaele na bowumbu, mosika ya mokili na bango, na Asiri kino lelo.
24 The king of Assyria brought men from Babylon, and from Cuthah, and from Avva, and from Hamath and Sepharvaim, and placed them in the cities of Samaria instead of the children of Israel; and they possessed Samaria, and lived in the cities of it.
Mokonzi ya Asiri amemaki bato wuta na bingumba ya Babiloni, ya Kuti, ya Ava, ya Amati mpe ya Sefarivayimi; mpe atiaki bango na Samari, na esika ya bana ya Isalaele. Bato yango bazwaki Samari mpe bavandaki kati na bingumba na yango.
25 So it was, at the beginning of their dwelling there, that they did not fear the LORD: therefore the LORD sent lions among them, which killed some of them.
Liboso, tango bazalaki kovanda kuna, bato yango bazalaki kogumbamela Yawe te. Boye Yawe atindaki nkosi kati na bango, mpe ebomaki ndambo ya bato kati na bango.
26 Therefore they spoke to the king of Assyria, saying, "The nations which you have carried away, and placed in the cities of Samaria, do not know the law of the god of the land. Therefore he has sent lions among them, and look, they kill them, because they do not know the law of the god of the land."
Bayebisaki mokonzi ya Asiri: — Bikolo oyo omemaki na bowumbu mpe otiaki kati na bingumba ya Samari bayebi te makambo oyo Nzambe ya mokili wana alingaka. Boye Nzambe atindi kati na bango nkosi oyo ezali koboma bango, pamba te bato yango bayebi te makambo oyo Nzambe yango alingaka.
27 Then the king of Assyria commanded, saying, "Carry there one of the priests whom you brought from there; and let him go and live there, and let him teach them the law of the god of the land."
Boye mokonzi ya Asiri apesaki mitindo oyo: — Botinda kuna moko kati na Banganga-Nzambe oyo bomemaki na bowumbu wuta na Samari mpo ete avanda kuna mpe alakisa bato makambo oyo Nzambe ya mokili wana alingaka.
28 So one of the priests whom they had carried away from Samaria came and lived in Bethel, and taught them how they should fear the LORD.
Boye moko kati na Banganga-Nzambe oyo bamemaki na bowumbu wuta na Samari ayaki kovanda na Beteli mpe alakisaki bango kogumbamela Yawe.
29 However every nation made gods of their own, and put them in the houses of the high places which the Samaritans had made, every nation in their cities in which they lived.
Kasi ekolo na ekolo esalaki banzambe na yango kati na bingumba nyonso oyo bazalaki kovanda, mpe batiaki banzambe yango kati na bisika ya bule ya bisambelo ya likolo ya bangomba oyo bato ya Samari batongaki.
30 The men of Babylon made Succoth Benoth, and the men of Cuth made Nergal, and the men of Hamath made Ashima,
Bato oyo bawutaki na Babiloni basalaki ekeko ya nzambe Sukoti-Benoti; ba-oyo bawutaki na Kuti basalaki ekeko ya nzambe Nerigali; ba-oyo bawutaki na Amati basalaki ekeko ya nzambe Ashima;
31 and the Avvites made Nibhaz and Tartak; and the Sepharvites burnt their children in the fire to Adrammelech and Anammelech, the gods of Sepharvaim.
ba-oyo bawutaki na Ava basalaki bikeko ya nzambe Nibikazi mpe nzambe Taritaki; ba-oyo bawutaki na Sefarivayimi bazalaki kokoba kotumba bana na bango na moto lokola mbeka epai ya Adrameleki mpe Anameleki, banzambe ya bato ya Sefarivayimi.
32 And they worshiped the LORD, yet they established their abominations in the houses of the high places which they made in Samaria, each nation in the city in which they dwelt. And they worshiped the LORD, yet appointed from among themselves priests of the high places, who sacrificed for them in the houses of the high places.
Bato ya bikolo yango bazalaki na bango kotosa Yawe, kasi baponaki lisusu kati na bango bato mpo na kosala mosala ya bonganga-nzambe kati na bisika ya bule ya bisambelo ya likolo ya bangomba.
33 And they worshiped the LORD, yet served their own gods, after the ways of the nations from among whom they had been carried away.
Atako bazalaki kotosa Yawe, kasi bazalaki mpe kosalela banzambe na bango kolanda bizaleli ya bikolo epai wapi bawutaki.
34 To this day they do what they did before: they do not fear the LORD, neither do they follow their statutes, or their ordinances, or the law or the commandment which the LORD commanded the descendants of Jacob, whom he named Israel;
Kino lelo, bakangami kaka na bizaleli na bango ya kala; bagumbamelaka penza Yawe te mpe batosaka te bikateli mpe malako, mibeko mpe mitindo oyo Yawe apesaki epai ya bakitani ya Jakobi oyo apesaki kombo « Isalaele. »
35 with whom the LORD had made a covenant, and commanded them, saying, "You shall not fear other gods, nor bow yourselves to them, nor serve them, nor sacrifice to them;
Tango Yawe asalaki boyokani elongo na bana ya Isalaele, alobaki na bango: « Bokogumbamela banzambe mosusu te, bokofukamela yango te, bokosalela yango te mpe bokobonzela yango bambeka te;
36 but you shall fear the LORD, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt with great power and with an outstretched arm, and you shall bow yourselves to him, and you shall sacrifice to him.
kaka Yawe oyo abimisaki bino wuta na Ejipito, na nguya mpe na loboko esembolama, nde bosengeli kogumbamela. Liboso na Ye kaka nde bosengeli kogumbama mpe kobonza bambeka.
37 The statutes and the ordinances, and the law and the commandment, which he wrote for you, you shall observe to do forevermore. You shall not fear other gods.
Bosengeli tango nyonso kozala na bokebi mpo na kobatela bikateli mpe malako, mibeko mpe mitindo oyo Yawe akomaki mpo na bino. Bogumbamela banzambe mosusu te,
38 You shall not forget the covenant that I have made with you; neither shall you fear other gods.
bobosana te boyokani oyo nasalaki elongo na bino, mpe bogumbamela banzambe mosusu te.
39 But you shall fear the LORD your God; and he will deliver you out of the hand of all your enemies."
Kaka Yawe, Nzambe na bino, nde bosengeli kogumbamela, pamba te Ye nde akangolaki bino na maboko ya banguna na bino nyonso. »
40 However they did not listen, but they did what they did before.
Kasi bato ya bikolo wana bayokaki te mpe batingamaki kaka na bizaleli na bango ya kala.
41 So these nations feared the LORD, and served their engraved images. Their children likewise, and their children's children, as their fathers did, so they do to this day.
Atako bato ya bikolo yango bazalaki kotosa Yawe, kasi bazalaki mpe kosalela banzambe na bango ya bikeko. Kino lelo, bana na bango mpe bakitani na bango bazali kokoba kosala makambo oyo bakoko na bango bazalaki kosala.
