2 Chronicles 23
1 And, in the seventh year, Jehoiada strengthened himself, and took the rulers of hundreds—even Azariah son of Jeroham, and Ishmael son of Jehohanan, and Azariah son of Obed, and Maaseiah son of Adaiah and Elishaphat son of Zichri—unto himself, in covenant.
Na mobu ya sambo, Nganga-Nzambe Yeoyada alongolaki kobanga mpe azwaki mokano ya kosala boyokani elongo na bakonzi ya mampinga, oyo bakambaka basoda nkama moko: Azaria, mwana mobali ya Yeroami; Isimaeli, mwana mobali ya Yoanani; Azaria, mwana mobali ya Obedi; Maaseya, mwana mobali ya Adaya; mpe Elishafati, mwana mobali ya Zikiri.
2 And they went round throughout Judah, and gathered together the Levites out of all the cities of Judah, and the ancestral chiefs of Israel, —and they came into Jerusalem.
Batambolaki kati na Yuda mpe basangisaki Balevi elongo na bakonzi ya mabota ya Isalaele, oyo bawutaki na bingumba nyonso. Tango bayaki na Yelusalemi,
3 And all the convocation solemnised a covenant in the house of God, with the king, —and he said to them, Lo! the king’s son must reign, as spake Yahweh concerning the sons of David.
lisanga mobimba esalaki boyokani elongo na mokonzi kati na Tempelo ya Nzambe. Yeoyada alobaki na bango: « Mwana mobali ya mokonzi asengeli kokonza lokola mokonzi, kolanda elaka oyo Yawe apesaki na tina na bakitani ya Davidi.
4 This, is the thing that ye shall do, —A third of you entering on the sabbath, both of the priests and of the Levites, as doorkeepers of the porch;
Sik’oyo, tala ndenge bokosala: ‹ kati na bandambo misato ya lisanga na bino Banganga-Nzambe mpe Balevi oyo bakosala na mokolo ya Saba, ndambo ya liboso bakokengela bikuke,
5 and a third, being in the house of the king, and a third, at the foundation gate, —and all the people, being in the courts of the house of Yahweh,
ndambo ya mibale bakokengela ndako ya mokonzi, mpe ndambo ya misato bakokengela ekuke ya Yesodi. Bato nyonso bakozala kati na mapango ya Tempelo ya Yawe.
6 then let no one enter the house of Yahweh, save only the priests, and they who are in attendance of the Levites, they, may enter, for, holy, they are, -but, all the people, shall keep the watch of Yahweh.
Moko te asengeli kokota kati na Tempelo ya Yawe longola kaka Banganga-Nzambe mpe Balevi oyo bakozala na mosala, pamba te bazali bule. Bato nyonso oyo batikali basengeli kotosa mobeko ya Yawe.
7 So shall the Levites encompass the king round about, every man with his weapons in his hand, and, he that entereth into the house, shall be put to death. Thus be ye with the king, when he cometh in and when he goeth out.
Balevi bakozingela mokonzi, moko na moko na ebundeli na ye na loboko. Moto mosusu oyo akomeka kokota na Tempelo ya Yawe, basengeli koboma ye. Bozala pene ya mokonzi na bisika nyonso oyo akokende. › »
8 So the Levites and all Judah did according to all that Jehoiada the priest commanded, and they took every man his men, who were coming in on the sabbath, with them who were going out on the sabbath, —for Jehoiada the priest dismissed not the courses.
Balevi mpe bato nyonso ya Yuda basalaki ndenge kaka Nganga-Nzambe Yeoyada atindaki. Moko na moko akamataki basoda na ye, ba-oyo bazalaki kokota na mosala na mokolo ya Saba mpe ba-oyo basilisaki mosala na bango na mokolo yango ya Saba, pamba te Nganga-Nzambe Yeoyada apemisaki ndambo moko te.
9 And Jehoiada the priest gave unto the captains of hundreds, the spears and the bucklers and the shields, which belonged to King David, —which were in the house of God.
Nganga-Nzambe Yeoyada apesaki na bakonzi ya mampinga, oyo bakambaka basoda nkama moko makonga, banguba minene mpe banguba mike ya mokonzi Davidi, oyo ezalaki kati na Tempelo ya Nzambe.
10 And be caused all the people to stand, even every man with his weapon in his hand, from the right corner of the house as far as the left corner of the house, by the altar and the house, —near the king round about.
Atiaki bato nyonso zingazinga ya mokonzi, moko na moko na ebundeli na ye na loboko, pembeni ya etumbelo mpe ya Tempelo, wuta na ngambo ya sude kino na ngambo ya nor ya Tempelo.
11 Then brought they forth the king’s son, and set upon him the crown and the testimony, and made him king, —and Jehoiada and his sons anointed him, and said, May the king live!
Babimisaki mwana mobali ya mokonzi, balatisaki ye motole, bapesaki ye mokanda ya boyokani mpe bakomisaki ye mokonzi. Yeoyada mpe bana na ye ya mibali bapakolaki ye mafuta ya bokonzi mpe bagangaki: « Tika ete mokonzi awumela na bomoi! »
12 Now, when Athaliah heard the noise of the people who were running, and those who were praising the king, —then came she unto the people in the house of Yahweh;
Tango Atali ayokaki makelele ya bato oyo bazalaki kopota mbangu mpe kobetela mokonzi maboko, akendeki epai ya bato, na Tempelo ya Yawe,
13 and looked, and lo! the king, standing by his pillar at the entrance, and the captains and the trumpets by the king, and all the people of the land rejoicing, and blowing with trumpets, and the singers, with instruments of song, and such as led the offering of praise, then Athaliah rent her garments, and said, Conspiracy! conspiracy!
atalaki mpe amonaki mokonzi atelemi na etemelo na ye ya kolobela, pembeni ya ekotelo ya Tempelo. Bakonzi ya basoda mpe bato oyo babetaka bakelelo bazalaki pembeni ya mokonzi. Bato nyonso ya mokili bazalaki kosepela wana bazalaki kobeta bakelelo; mpe bayembi elongo na bibetelo na bango ya mindule bazalaki kokamba nzembo mpo na kokumisa Nkolo. Atali apasolaki bilamba na ye mpe agangaki: — Basaleli ngai likita! Basaleli ngai likita!
14 Then Jehoiada the priest commanded the captains of hundreds, officers of the force, and said unto them, Take her forth within the ranks, and he that cometh in after her let him be slain with the sword, —for, said the priest, Ye must not slay her in the house of Yahweh!
Nganga-Nzambe Yeoyada abengisaki bakonzi ya mampinga, oyo bakambaka basoda nkama moko mpe alobaki na bango: — Bobimisa ye na molongo! Mpe boboma na mopanga moto nyonso oyo akolanda ye! Pamba te Nganga-Nzambe alobaki: « Boboma ye te kati na Tempelo ya Yawe! »
15 So they made way for her, and she came into the entrance of the horse-gate of the house of the king, —and they slew her there.
Boye, wana Atali azwaki nzela ya ekotelo ya bampunda mpo na kokende na ndako ya mokonzi, bakangaki ye mpe babomaki ye kuna.
16 And Jehoiada solemnised a covenant, between himself and all the people, and the king, —that they should become a people unto Yahweh.
Yeoyada asalaki boyokani kati na ye, bato nyonso mpe mokonzi, mpo ete bazala bato ya Yawe.
17 Then all the people entered into the house of Baal and brake it down, and, his altars and his images, brake they in pieces, —and, Mattan the priest of Baal, they slew, before the altars.
Bato nyonso bakendeki na ndako ya nzambe Bala, babukaki yango elongo na bitumbelo mpe bikeko, mpe babomaki Matani, nganga-nzambe ya Bala, liboso ya bitumbelo.
18 And Jehoiada put the oversight of the house of Yahweh into the hand of the priests and the Levites, whom David set by courses over the house of Yahweh, that they might offer up the ascending-sacrifices of Yahweh, as it is written in the law of Moses, with rejoicing and with song, —under the direction of David.
Yeoyada apesaki mosala ya kokengela Tempelo ya Yawe epai ya Banganga-Nzambe Balevi oyo Davidi apesaki mosala ya Tempelo ya Yawe, mpo na kotumba mbeka epai na Yawe, ndenge ekomama kati na mibeko ya Moyize, na esengo mpe na koyemba banzembo, ndenge Davidi atindaki.
19 And he caused gatekeepers to stand, at the gates of the house of Yahweh, —that no one who was unclean should, on any account, enter.
Atiaki lisusu bakengeli na bikuke ya Tempelo ya Yawe mpo na kopekisa moto nyonso ya mbindo kokota kuna.
20 Then took he the captains of hundreds—and the nobles—and the rulers over the people—and all the people of the land, and brought down the king out of the house of Yahweh, and they entered, through the midst of the upper gate, into the house of the king, —and they seated the king, upon the throne of the kingdom.
Asangisaki bakonzi ya mampinga, oyo bakambaka basoda nkama moko, bato ya lokumu, bakambi ya bato mpe bato nyonso ya mokili; amemaki mokonzi longwa na Tempelo ya Yawe kino na ndako ya mokonzi, na nzela ya ekuke ya likolo. Mpe kuna, bavandisaki ye na kiti ya bokonzi.
21 And all the people of the land rejoiced, and, the city, was quiet, —when, Athaliah, they had slain with the sword.
Bato nyonso ya mokili basepelaki, mpe engumba ekomaki na kimia, pamba te babomaki Atali na mopanga.
