< 2 Chronicles 12 >

1 It happened, when the kingdom of Rehoboam was established, and he was strong, that he forsook the law of YHWH, and all Israel with him.
Tango bokonzi ya Roboami elendisamaki mpe ye moko akomaki makasi, ye mpe Isalaele mobimba basundolaki Mobeko ya Yawe.
2 It happened in the fifth year of king Rehoboam, that Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem, because they had trespassed against YHWH,
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 horsemen. The people were without number who came with him out of Egypt: the Lubim, the Sukkiim, and the 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 He took the fortified cities which pertained to Judah, and came to Jerusalem.
Abotolaki bingumba batonga makasi ya Yuda mpe akendeki kino na Yelusalemi.
5 And Shemaiah the prophet came to Rehoboam, and to the leaders of Judah, who were gathered together to Jerusalem because of Shishak, and said to them, "Thus says YHWH, 'You have forsaken me, therefore have I also left you in the hand of Shishak.'"
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 Then the leaders of Israel and the king humbled themselves; and they said, "YHWH is righteous."
Mokonzi elongo na bakambi ya Isalaele bamikitisaki, bandimaki mabe na bango mpe balobaki: — Yawe azali sembo!
7 When YHWH saw that they humbled themselves, the word of YHWH came to Shemaiah, saying, "They have humbled themselves. I will not destroy them; but I will grant them some deliverance, and my wrath shall not be poured out on Jerusalem by the hand of Shishak.
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 his servants, that they may know my service, and the service of the kingdoms of the countries."
Nzokande bakokoma bawumbu na ye mpe, na bongo, bakoyeba bokeseni nini ezali kati na kosalela Ngai mpe kosalela bakonzi ya bamboka mosusu.
9 So Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem, and took away the treasures of the house of YHWH, and the treasures of the king's house. He took it all away. He also took away the shields of gold 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 King Rehoboam made in their place shields of bronze, and committed them to the hands of the captains of the guard, who kept the door of the king's house.
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 It was so, that as often as the king entered into the house of YHWH, the guard came and bore them, and brought them back into the guard room.
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 When he humbled himself, the wrath of YHWH turned from him, so as not to destroy him altogether: and moreover in Judah there were good things found.
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 Rehoboam strengthened himself in Jerusalem, and reigned: for Rehoboam was forty-one years old when he began to reign, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city which YHWH had chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, to put his name there: and his mother's name was Naamah the Ammonitess.
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 He did that which was evil, because he did not set his heart to seek YHWH.
Roboami asalaki mabe, pamba te amipesaki te, na motema na ye mobimba, mpo na koluka Yawe.
15 Now the acts of Rehoboam, first and last, aren't they written in the histories of Shemaiah the prophet and of Iddo the seer, after the way of genealogies? There were wars between Rehoboam and Jeroboam continually.
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 Rehoboam slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers, and he was buried in the City of David. And Abijah his son reigned in his place.
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.
