1 Kings 12
1 And Rehoboam went to Shechem, —for, to Shechem, had all Israel come to make him king.
Roboami akendeki na Sishemi epai wapi lisanga mobimba ya Isalaele esanganaki mpo na kokomisa ye mokonzi.
2 And it came to pass, when Jeroboam son of Nebat heard of it—he being yet in Egypt, whither he had fled from the face of Solomon the king, that Jeroboam returned from Egypt;
Kasi sima na Jeroboami, mwana mobali ya Nebati, koyoka sango yango wuta na Ejipito epai wapi akendeki kobombama mpo na kokima mokonzi Salomo, azongaki wuta na Ejipito.
3 yes they sent, and called him, and Jeroboam and all the convocation of Israel came, —and spake unto Rehoboam, saying:
Boye, batindaki bato kobenga Jeroboami; bongo ye elongo na lisanga mobimba ya Isalaele bakendeki epai ya Roboami mpe balobaki na ye:
4 Thy father, made our yoke, grievous, —now, therefore do, thou, lighten the grievous service of thy father, and his heavy yoke which he put upon us, that we may serve thee.
— Tata na yo anyokolaki biso makasi; kasi sik’oyo, yo, lembisa misala makasi mpe mikumba oyo tata na yo atia na mito na biso; bongo biso, tokosalela yo.
5 And he said unto them—Depart ye for yet three days, and then come again unto me. And the people departed.
Roboami azongisaki: — Bokende epai na bino, bopesa ngai mikolo misato mpo na koyekola likambo yango, bongo bozongela ngai. Mpe bato bakendeki.
6 Then King Rehoboam consulted the elders who used to stand before Solomon his father, while he yet lived, saying, —How do, ye, advise, that I answer this people?
Mokonzi Roboami atunaki toli epai ya bampaka oyo basalaki elongo na Salomo, tata na ye, tango azalaki nanu na bomoi. Alobaki na bango: — Toli nini bozali kopesa ngai lokola eyano ya kopesa epai ya bato oyo?
7 And they spake unto him, saying—If, to-day, thou wilt be servant unto this people, and wilt serve them, —and answer them kindly, and speak unto them good words, then will they be, thy, servants, always.
Bazongiselaki ye: — Soki, na mokolo ya lelo, omikomisi mosali ya bato oyo, soki osaleli bango mpe opesi bango eyano ya malamu, bakozala tango nyonso basali na yo.
8 But he declined the counsel of the elders which they gave him, and consulted with the young men, who had grown up with him, who were standing before himself;
Kasi Roboami aboyaki toli oyo bampaka bapesaki ye; asengaki toli epai ya bilenge mibali oyo bakolaki esika moko na ye mpe bazalaki kosalela ye.
9 and said unto them—What counsel do, ye, give as to how we shall answer this people who have spoken unto me, saying—Make a lightening of the yoke which thy father put upon us?
Atunaki bango: — Toli nini bozali kopesa lokola eyano ya kopesa epai ya bato oyo balobi na ngai: « Lembisa misala makasi mpe mikumba oyo tata na yo atia na mito na biso? »
10 Then spake unto him the young men who had grown up with him, saying, Thus, shalt thou say to this people that have spoken unto thee, saying—Thy father, made our yoke heavy, thou, therefore lighten it upon us, Thus, shalt thou speak unto them, My little finger, is thicker than my father’s loins;
Bilenge mibali oyo bakolaki esika moko na ye bazongisaki: — Tala makambo oyo okoyebisa bato oyo balobi na yo: « Tata na yo anyokolaki biso na misala makasi; kasi yo, lembisela biso yango! » Yebisa bango: « Mosapi na ngai ya moke eleki loketo ya tata na ngai na monene;
11 Now, therefore, whereas, my father, laid upon you a heavy yoke, I, will add to your yoke, —My father, did chastise you with whips, but, I, will chastise you with scorpions.
soki tata na ngai anyokolaki bino na misala makasi, ngai, nakoyeisa yango lisusu makasi koleka; soki tata na ngai azalaki kobeta bino fimbu ya poso ya nyama, ngai nakobeta bino fimbu ya ebende. »
12 So Jeroboam and all the people came in unto Rehoboam, on the third day, —as the king had bidden, saying—Come again unto me, on the third day.
Sima na mikolo misato, Jeroboami elongo na bato nyonso bazongaki epai ya Roboami, ndenge mokonzi ayebisaki bango: « Bozongela ngai sima na mikolo misato. »
13 And the king answered the people, harshly, —and declined the counsel of the elders wherewith they had counselled him;
Mokonzi Roboami aboyaki kosalela toli oyo bampaka bapesaki ye, ayanolaki bato na maloba mabe makasi;
14 and spake unto them after the counsel of the young men, saying, My father, made your yoke heavy, but, I, will add unto your yoke, —My father, chastised you, with whips, but, I, will chastise you, with scorpions.
alandaki toli ya bilenge mibali mpe ayebisaki bango: Soki tata na ngai anyokolaki bino na misala makasi, ngai nakoyeisa yango lisusu makasi koleka; soki tata na ngai azalaki kobeta bino fimbu ya poso ya nyama, ngai nakobeta bino fimbu ya ebende.
15 Thus the king hearkened not unto the people, —for there had come about a turn from Yahweh, that he might establish his word, which Yahweh had spoken by Ahijah the Shilonite, unto Jeroboam, son of Nebat.
Mokonzi aboyaki koyoka bato, pamba te ezalaki Yawe nde asalaki bongo mpo na kokokisa liloba oyo Yawe ayebisaki Jeroboami, mwana mobali ya Nebati, na nzela ya mosakoli Ayiya, moto ya Silo.
16 So when all Israel saw that the king hearkened not unto them, the people answered the king, saying—What portion have, we, in, David. Or inheritance in the son of Jesse? To your homes O Israel! Now, see to thine own house, O David! And Israel departed to their homes.
Tango bana nyonso ya Isalaele bamonaki ete mokonzi aboyi koyoka bango, bazongiselaki ye: « Eloko nini ya lisanga tozali na yango na Davidi? Tozali na eloko moko te ya lisanga na mwana mobali ya Izayi! Isalaele, tika ete moto na moto azonga na ndako na ye ya kapo! Mpe yo, mokitani ya Davidi, tikala kotala makambo ya ndako na yo! » Boye, bana ya Isalaele bazongaki na bandako na bango ya kapo.
17 But, as for the sons of Israel who were dwelling in the cities of Judah, Rehoboam reigned over them.
Roboami akobaki kokonza bana ya Isalaele oyo bazalaki kovanda na bingumba ya Yuda.
18 Then King Rehoboam sent Adoniram who was over the tribute, but all Israel stoned him with stones, that he died, —King Rehoboam, therefore, hastily mounted his chariot, to flee unto Jerusalem.
Mokonzi Roboami atindaki Adorami oyo azalaki motambolisi misala makasi, kasi bana nyonso ya Isalaele babambaki ye mabanga mpe akufaki. Nzokande, mokonzi Roboami alongaki komata na shar na ye mpo na kokima na Yelusalemi.
19 So Israel rebelled against the house of David, —unto this day.
Ezali boye nde bana ya Isalaele batombokelaki ndako ya Davidi kino na mokolo ya lelo.
20 And it came to pass, when all Israel heard that Jeroboam had returned, that they sent and called him into the assembly, and made him king over all Israel, —there were none that followed the house of David, saving the tribe of Judah only.
Tango bana nyonso ya Isalaele bayokaki ete Jeroboami azongi, batindaki bato kobenga ye ete aya na mayangani, mpe bakomisaki ye mokonzi ya Isalaele mobimba. Kaka libota ya Yuda nde etikalaki kotosa bokonzi ya ndako ya Davidi.
21 And, when Rehoboam entered Jerusalem, he called together all the house of Judah and the tribe of Benjamin—a hundred and eighty thousand chosen men, able to make war, —to fight against the house of Israel, to bring back the kingdom to Rehoboam, son of Solomon.
Tango Roboami azongaki na Yelusalemi, asangisaki libota nyonso ya Yuda mpe libota ya Benjame, aponaki kati na bango bilombe ya bitumba nkoto nkama moko na tuku mwambe mpo na kobundisa ndako ya Isalaele mpe kozongisa bokonzi na maboko ya Roboami, mwana mobali ya Salomo.
22 Then came the word of God unto Shemaiah, the man of God, saying:
Kasi Nzambe alobaki na Shemaya, moto na Nzambe:
23 Speak unto Rehoboam, son of Solomon, king of Judah, and unto all the house of Judah, and Benjamin, —and the remnant of the people, saying:
« Yebisa Roboami, mwana mobali ya Salomo, mokonzi ya Yuda; mpe bana nyonso ya Yuda, ya Benjame mpe ba-oyo batikali:
24 Thus, saith Yahweh—Ye shall not go up, neither shall ye fight with your brethren the sons of Israel, —return ye every man to his own house, for, from me, hath this thing been brought about. So they hearkened unto the word of Yahweh, and turned back to depart, according to the word of Yahweh.
‹ Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: Bokende te kobundisa bandeko na bino, bato ya Isalaele! Tika ete moto moko na moko azonga na ndako na ye, pamba te Ngai moko nde nasali makambo nyonso oyo eleki. › » Batosaki Liloba na Yawe mpe bazongaki na bandako na bango mpo na kotosa mitindo ya Yawe.
25 Then Jeroboam built Shechem, in the hill country of Ephraim, and dwelt therein, —and went forth from thence, and built Penuel.
Jeroboami atongaki engumba Sishemi, kati na etuka ya bangomba ya Efrayimi, mpe avandaki kuna. Longwa na Sishemi, abimaki mpe akendeki kotonga Penueli.
26 And Jeroboam said in his heart, —Now, shall the kingdom return to the house of David:
Jeroboami amilobelaki: « Ndenge makambo ezali kotambola, bokonzi ekoki kozonga na ndako ya Davidi.
27 If this people go up to offer sacrifices in the house of Yahweh, in Jerusalem, then will the heart of this people return unto their lord, unto Rehoboam, king of Judah, —and they will slay me, and return unto Rehoboam, king of Judah.
Soki bato oyo bamati na Yelusalemi mpo na kobonza mbeka na Tempelo ya Yawe, bakopesa lisusu mitema na bango epai ya nkolo na bango, Roboami, mokonzi ya Yuda. Bakoboma ngai mpe bakozonga epai ya mokonzi Roboami. »
28 Whereupon the king took counsel, and made two calves of gold, —and said unto them—It is, too much for you, to go up to Jerusalem, Lo! thy gods, O Israel, that brought thee up out of the land of Egypt;
Sima na ye koluka toli, mokonzi asalaki bikeko mibale ya bana ngombe ya wolo. Alobaki na bato: — Oh Isalaele, bokeyi mpe mingi na Yelusalemi! Botala banzambe na bino oyo babimisaki bino na Ejipito.
29 And he set the one in Bethel, —and, the other, put he in Dan.
Jeroboami atiaki ekeko moko na Beteli mpe mosusu na Dani.
30 And this thing became a sin, —and the people went before the one, as far as Dan.
Bongo likambo oyo ememaki bato na lisumu, pamba te bamoko bazalaki kokende kogumbamela ekeko oyo ezalaki na Beteli, mpe bamosusu bazalaki kokende mosika kino na Dani mpo na kogumbamela ekeko mosusu.
31 And he made a house of high-places, —and made priests from the whole compass of the people, who were not of the sons of Levi.
Jeroboami atongaki bisambelo ya likolo ya bangomba mpe atiaki banganga-nzambe oyo bazalaki ata te bato ya libota ya Levi.
32 And Jeroboam made a festival in the eight month, on the fifteenth day of the month, like the festival which [was held] in Judah, and offered up on the altar, likewise, did he in Bethel, sacrificing to the calves which he had made, —and he kept in attendance in Bethel, the priests of the high-places which he had made.
Jeroboami akataki ete basalaka feti mibu nyonso na mokolo ya zomi na mitano ya sanza ya mwambe ndenge basalaka na mokili ya Yuda, mpe abonzaki mbeka na etumbelo. Asalaki ndenge wana na Beteli epai wapi abonzaki mbeka epai ya banzambe ya bikeko ya bana ngombe oyo asalaki, mpe atiaki banganga-nzambe na bisambelo oyo abongisaki na likolo ya bangomba.
33 And he offered up on the altar which he had made in Bethel, on the fifteenth day in the eighth month, in the month which he had devised out of his own heart, —thus made he a festival for the sons of Israel, and offered up on the altar, to make a perfume.
Na mokolo ya zomi na mitano ya sanza ya mwambe, sanza oyo aponaki na ndenge na ye moko, abonzaki mbeka na etumbelo oyo atongaki na Beteli. Akataki ete basalaka feti mibu nyonso mpo na bana ya Isalaele mpe amataki na etumbelo mpo na kotumba ansa.
