2 Chronicles 34
1 Eight years old, was Josiah when he begun to reign, —and, thirty-one years, reigned he in Jerusalem.
Joziasi azalaki na mibu mwambe ya mbotama tango akomaki mokonzi, mpe akonzaki mibu tuku misato na moko na Yelusalemi.
2 And he did that which was right, in the eyes of Yahweh, —and walked in the ways of David his father, and turned not aside, to the right hand or to the left.
Asalaki makambo ya sembo na miso ya Yawe mpe alandaki banzela oyo Davidi, tata na ye, atambolaki na yango: apengwaki na yango te, ezala na ngambo ya loboko ya mwasi to na ngambo ya loboko ya mobali.
3 And, in the eighth year of his reign, he, being yet a boy, he began to seek unto the God of David his father, -and, in the twelfth year, he began to purify Judah and Jerusalem, from the high places and the Sacred Stems, and the carved images and the molten images.
Na mobu ya mwambe ya bokonzi na ye, lokola azalaki nanu elenge, akomaki koluka Nzambe ya Davidi, tata na ye; bongo na mobu ya zomi na mibale, akomaki kopetola Yuda mpe Yelusalemi na kopekisa bato kokende na bisambelo ya likolo ya bangomba, na kobuka makonzi ya bule ya nzambe mwasi Ashera elongo na bikeko ya banzambe basala na nzete mpe na bibende oyo banyangwisa na moto.
4 And they threw down before him, the altars of the Baalim, and, the sun-pillars which were on high above them, he hewed down, —and, the Sacred Stems and the carved images and the molten images, brake he in pieces and ground to dust, and tossed over the face of the graves, of them who had been sacrificing unto them.
Babukaki liboso na ye bitumbelo ya banzambe Bala, bakweyisaki mbala moko bitumbelo malasi oyo ezalaki na likolo na yango, abukaki makonzi ya bule ya nzambe mwasi Ashera, bikeko ya banzambe basala na nzete mpe na bibende oyo banyangwisa na moto; akomisaki yango putulu mpe asopaki putulu yango na likolo ya bakunda ya bato oyo babonzelaki banzambe yango bambeka.
5 And, the bones of the priests, burned he upon their altars, —and so purified Judah and Jerusalem:
Atumbaki mikuwa ya banganga-nzambe ya bikeko na likolo ya bitumbelo na yango. Ezalaki ndenge wana nde apetolaki Yuda mpe Yelusalemi.
6 also throughout the cities of Manasseh and Ephraim and Simeon, even as far as Naphtali, —searched he their houses, round about.
Abukaki bitumbelo kati na bingumba ya Manase, ya Efrayimi, ya Simeoni kino na Nefitali mpe na bamboka na yango ya zingazinga.
7 And, when he had thrown down the altars and the Sacred Stems, and, the images, he had beaten to powder, and, the sun-pillars, he had hewn down throughout all the land of Israel, then returned he to Jerusalem.
Abukaki makonzi ya bule ya nzambe mwasi Ashera elongo na bikeko ya banzambe mpe akomisaki yango putulu. Akweyisaki lisusu bitumbelo malasi nyonso kati na mokili mobimba ya Isalaele. Bongo, azongaki na Yelusalemi.
8 And, in the eighteenth year of his reign, when he had purified the land and the house, he sent Shaphan son of Azaliah and Maaseiah the ruler of the city and Joah son of Joahaz the recorder, to repair the house of Yahweh his God.
Tango Joziasi akokisaki mibu zomi na mwambe na bokonzi, mpo na kopetola mokili mpe Tempelo, atindaki Shafani, mwana mobali ya Atsalia; Maaseya, moyangeli ya engumba; mpe Yoa, mwana mobali ya Yoakazi mpe mobombi mikanda, mpo na kobongisa Tempelo ya Yawe, Nzambe na ye.
9 So they went in unto Hilkiah the high priest, and delivered the silver that had been brought into the house of God, which the Levites who kept the entrance-hall had collected from the hand of Manasseh, and Ephraim, and from all the remnant of Israel, and from all Judah and Benjamin, —and returned to Jerusalem.
Bakendeki epai ya Ilikia, mokonzi ya Banganga-Nzambe, mpe bapesaki ye mbongo oyo bazwaki na Tempelo ya Nzambe, mbongo oyo Balevi oyo bazalaki kokengela ekotelo bakongolaki lokola makabo mpo na Tempelo na maboko ya bato ya Manase, ya Efrayimi, ya batikali ya Isalaele, ya bato nyonso ya Yuda, ya Benjame mpe ya bavandi ya Yelusalemi.
10 And the overseers in the house of Yahweh, delivered it into the hand of the doer of the work, —yea they delivered it to the doers of the work, because they were working in the house of Yahweh, in searching and repairing the house:
Bapesaki mbongo yango na maboko ya batambolisi misala ya Tempelo ya Yawe. Bato yango bafutaki basali oyo bazalaki kobongisa mpe kolendisa Tempelo yango;
11 yea they delivered it to the artificers and to the builders, to buy carved stones and timbers for the joinings, —and to build up the houses which the kings of Judah had destroyed.
bapesaki lisusu epai ya basharipantie mpe batongi Tempelo mpo ete basomba mabanga bakata elongo na mabaya mpo na motondo, mpe mpo ete batonga bandako mosusu oyo bakonzi ya Yuda bazalaki kobongisa te tango ezalaki kobeba.
12 Now, the men, were working faithfully in the work, and over them as overseers, were—Jahath and Obadiah, Levites, of the sons of Merari, and Zechariah and Meshullam, of the sons of the Kohathites, to preside, —and Levites, all who had understanding in instruments of song;
Bato yango basalaki mosala na bango na boyengebene mpe na bokambami ya Balevi Yaati mpe Abidiasi, bana mibali ya Merari. Zakari mpe Meshulami, bana mibali ya Keati, nde bazalaki kokengela mosala na bango.
13 also over the burden-bearers, and such as took the lead, for everyone who was working in any manner of service, —and, of the Levites, were scribes and officers and doorkeepers.
Balevi yango bayebaki mpe kobeta mindule; bazalaki kokengela bato oyo bazalaki komema biloko ya mosala mpe kokamba ba-oyo nyonso bazalaki kosala misala na bisika nyonso oyo mosala ezalaki kosalema. Balevi mosusu bazalaki bakomi mikanda, balakisi ya Mobeko mpe bakengeli bikuke.
14 Now, as they were taking out the silver which had been brought into the house of Yahweh, Hilkiah the priest found the Book of the Law of Yahweh, by the hand of Moses.
Tango bazalaki kobimisa mbongo oyo ezalaki kati na Tempelo ya Yawe, Nganga-Nzambe Ilikia amonaki buku ya Mobeko ya Yawe, oyo epesamaki na nzela ya Moyize.
15 Then spake up Hilkiah, and said unto Shaphan the scribe, The Book of the Law, have I found, in the house of Yahweh, —and Hilkiah gave the book unto Shaphan.
Ilikia alobaki na Shafani, mokomi mikanda: — Namoni buku ya Mobeko kati na Tempelo ya Yawe! Mpe apesaki buku yango epai ya Shafani.
16 Then Shaphan took in the book unto the king, and returned yet further unto the king a message, saying, —All that was delivered into the hand of thy servants, they are doing;
Shafani azwaki buku yango, amemaki yango epai ya mokonzi mpe ayebisaki ye: — Basali na yo bazali kosala makambo nyonso oyo otindaki bango.
17 and they have poured out the silver, that was found in the house of Yahweh, and have delivered it into the hand of the overseers, and into the hand of the doers of the work.
Bapesi mbongo oyo ezalaki kati na Tempelo ya Yawe epai ya batambolisi misala mpe epai ya bato oyo bazali kosala misala.
18 Then Shaphan the scribe told the king, saying, A book, hath Hilkiah the priest given to me. And Shaphan, read therein, before the king.
Mokomi mikanda, Shafani, alobaki na mokonzi: — Nganga-Nzambe Ilikia apesi ngai buku moko. Mpe Shafani atangaki buku yango liboso ya mokonzi.
19 And it came to pass, when the king heard the words of the law, that he rent his clothes.
Tango mokonzi ayokaki maloba ya Mobeko, apasolaki bilamba na ye,
20 Then did the king command Hilkiah—and Ahikam son of Shaphan—and Abdon son of Micah—and Shaphan the scribe—and Asaiah servant of the king, saying:
apesaki mitindo oyo epai ya Ilikia, epai ya Ayikami, mwana mobali ya Shafani; epai ya Abidoni, mwana mobali ya Mishe; epai ya Shafani, mokomi mikanda, mpe epai ya Asaya, moko kati na bakalaka ya mokonzi:
21 Go, enquire of Yahweh for me, and for the remnant in Israel and in Judah, concerning the words of the book which hath been found, —for great is the wrath of Yahweh, which hath been poured out upon us, because our fathers, kept not, the word of Yahweh, to do according to all that is written in this book.
— Bokende kotuna toli ya Yawe mpo na ngai mpe mpo na batikali ya Isalaele mpe ya Yuda; botuna na tina na makambo oyo ekomama kati na buku oyo ewuti komonana, pamba te kanda ya Yawe, oyo ekweyeli biso ezali makasi mpo ete batata na biso batosaki te Liloba na Yawe mpe basalaki te kolanda nyonso oyo ekomama kati na buku oyo.
22 So Hilkiah and they whom the king had named went into Huldah the prophetess, wife of Shallum son of Tokhath son of Hasrah keeper of the wardrobe, she, having her dwelling in Jerusalem, in the new city, —and they spake unto her accordingly.
Ilikia elongo na bato oyo mokonzi aponaki bakendeki epai ya mwasi mosakoli Ulida, mwasi ya Shalumi, mwana mobali ya Tokeati, mwana mobali ya Asira, mobombi bilamba ya Tempelo. Ulida azalaki kovanda na Yelusalemi, na etuka ya sika. Balobaki na ye ndenge bayokanaki.
23 And she said unto them, Thus, saith Yahweh God of Israel, —Say ye unto the man who hath sent you unto me:
Ulida alobaki na bango: — Tala makambo oyo Yawe, Nzambe ya Isalaele, alobi: « Boloba na tata oyo atindi bino epai na Ngai:
24 Thus, saith Yahweh, Behold me bringing in calamity upon this place, and upon the inhabitants thereof, -even all the curses that are written in the book which they have read before the king of Judah:
‹ Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: Nakobengisa pasi makasi na esika oyo mpe na bavandi na yango kolanda bilakeli mabe nyonso oyo ekomama kati na buku oyo bawuti kotanga liboso ya mokonzi ya Yuda. ›
25 Because they have forsaken me, and burned incense unto other gods, so as to provoke me to anger, with all the works of their hands, therefore hath my wrath been poured out upon this place, and shall not be quenched.
Lokola basundolaki Ngai mpe batumbaki mbeka ya malasi mpo na banzambe mosusu kino kotumbola kanda na Ngai na nzela ya biloko oyo maboko na bango esilaki kosala, kanda na Ngai ekopela makasi na esika oyo, mpe ekokita te.
26 But, unto the king of Judah, who hath sent you to enquire of Yahweh, thus, shall ye say unto him, —Thus, saith Yahweh God of Israel, As touching the words which thou hast heard:
Kasi boloba na mokonzi ya Yuda oyo atindi bino kotuna toli ya Yawe: ‹ Tala makambo oyo Yawe, Nzambe ya Isalaele, alobi na tina na maloba oyo oyokaki:
27 Because tender was thy heart, and thou didst humble thyself before God when thou heardest his words against this place and against the inhabitants thereof, and didst humble thyself before me, and didst rend thy clothes and weep before me, therefore, I also, have heard, is the declaration of Yahweh.
Lokola motema na yo etutami, lokola omikitisi liboso ya Nzambe sima na yo koyoka maloba na Ye mpo na kotelemela esika oyo mpe bavandi na yango, lokola omikitisi liboso na Ngai, lokola opasoli bilamba na yo mpe oleli liboso na Ngai, Ngai mpe nayoki, › elobi Yawe,
28 Behold me! gathering thee unto thy fathers, and thou shalt be gathered unto thy sepulchres in peace, and thine eyes shall not look upon all the calamity which, I, am bringing in upon this place, and upon the inhabitants thereof. And they returned, unto the king, the message.
‹ nakosala ete okende kokutana na bakoko na yo, oyo bakufa; mpe okokundama na kimia kati na moko na bakunda na yo. Na bongo, miso na yo ekomona te pasi nyonso oyo nakotindela esika oyo mpe bavandi na yango. › » Batindami bakomisaki eyano oyo epai ya mokonzi.
29 Then the king sent, —and gathered together all the elders of Judah and Jerusalem.
Mokonzi Joziasi abengisaki bampaka nyonso ya Yuda mpe ya Yelusalemi.
30 And the king went up to the house of Yahweh—and all the men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem—and the priests and the Levites, and all the people, from the great even unto the small, —and he read in their ears, all the words of the book of the covenant, which had been found in the house of Yahweh.
Bongo akendeki na Tempelo ya Yawe elongo na bato nyonso ya Yuda, bavandi nyonso ya Yelusalemi, Banganga-Nzambe, Balevi, bato nyonso, kobanda na oyo aleki na lokumu kino na oyo aleki na se. Mokonzi atangelaki bango makomi nyonso ya buku ya Boyokani oyo emonanaki kati na Tempelo ya Yawe.
31 And the king stood in his place, and solemnised the covenant before Yahweh, to walk after Yahweh, and to keep his commandments and his testimonies and his statutes, with all his heart and with all his soul, —to perform the words of the covenant that are written in this book.
Mokonzi atelemaki na etemelo na ye ya kolobela mpe asalaki boyokani oyo liboso ya Yawe: — Nalapi ndayi ete nakolanda Yawe, nakotosa mibeko, mitindo mpe malako na Ye, na motema mpe na elimo na ngai mobimba; mpe nakotosa maloba ya boyokani, oyo ekomama kati na buku oyo.
32 And he caused to take a stand, all that were present in Jerusalem, and Benjamin, —and the inhabitants of Jerusalem did according to the covenant of God, the God of their fathers.
Mokonzi alapisaki ndayi yango bato nyonso oyo bazalaki na Yelusalemi mpe kati na etuka ya Benjame. Mpe bavandi ya Yelusalemi batambolaki kolanda boyokani ya Nzambe, Nzambe ya batata na bango.
33 And Josiah removed all the abominations, out of all the lands which belonged to the sons of Israel, and caused all that were present in Jerusalem to serve, yea to serve, Yahweh their God, —all his days, turned they not aside from following Yahweh, God of their fathers.
Joziasi alongolaki banzambe nyonso ya bikeko ya nkele kati na bituka nyonso ya bana ya Isalaele. Apesaki mitindo na bato nyonso oyo bazalaki kati na Isalaele ete basalela Yawe, Nzambe na bango. Na bongo, na mikolo nyonso ya bomoi ya Joziasi, bapengwaki te liboso ya Yawe, Nzambe ya batata na bango.
