2 Kings 13
1 After Joash had been ruling Judah for almost 23 years, Jehu’s son Jehoahaz became the king of Israel. He ruled in Samaria [city] for 17 years.
Na mobu ya tuku mibale na misato ya bokonzi ya Joasi, mwana mobali ya Akazia, mokonzi ya Yuda, Yoakazi, mwana mobali ya Jewu, akomaki mokonzi ya Isalaele kati na Samari. Akonzaki mibu zomi na sambo.
2 He did many things that Yahweh considered to be evil and committed the same kind of sins that Jeroboam had committed, sins which led the people of Israel to sin. He did not stop committing those sins.
Asalaki makambo mabe na miso ya Yawe, wana alandaki masumu ya Jeroboami, mwana mobali ya Nebati. Jeroboami akweyisaki na yango Isalaele na lisumu, mpe Yoakazi atikaki te lisumu yango.
3 So Yahweh became very angry with the Israeli people, and he allowed the army of King Hazael of Syria and his son Ben-Hadad to defeat the Israelis many times.
Boye kanda ya Yawe epelaki likolo ya Isalaele, mpe akabaki Isalaele na maboko ya Azaeli, mokonzi ya Siri, mpe ya Beni-Adadi, mwana na ye ya mobali.
4 Then Jehoahaz prayed to Yahweh [for help], and Yahweh heeded him, because he saw that the army of the king of Syria was oppressing the Israelis.
Kasi Yoakazi abondelaki Yawe mpo ete asalela ye ngolu, mpe Yawe ayokaki ye, pamba te Yawe amonaki ndenge nini mokonzi ya Siri azalaki konyokola Isalaele.
5 Yahweh sent a leader to Israel, who enabled them to be freed from being controlled by Syria. After that, the Israeli people lived peacefully as they had done previously.
Yawe apesaki mokangoli mpo na bato ya Isalaele, mpe balongwaki na se ya nguya ya bato ya Siri. Boye bato ya Isalaele bavandaki na bandako na bango ndenge ezalaki liboso.
6 But they still continued to commit the same kind of sins that Jeroboam and his family had committed and which led the Israelis to [also] sin. And the statue of the goddess Asherah remained in Samaria.
Kasi batikaki te masumu ya libota ya Jeroboami oyo akweyisaki na yango Isalaele. Bakobaki kaka na yango; mpe ekeko ya nzambe mwasi Ashera etikalaki kaka ya kotelema kati na Samari.
7 Jehoahaz had only 50 men who rode on horses and ten chariots and 10,000 other soldiers, because the army of Syria had killed all the rest, trampling them like people walk on dirt.
Kati na mampinga nyonso ya Yoakazi, etikalaki kaka na mibali tuku mitano oyo batambolisaka bampunda, bashar zomi, mpe basoda oyo batambolaka na makolo, nkoto zomi, pamba te mokonzi ya Siri abomaki bamosusu oyo batikalaki, mpe akomisaki bango lokola putulu oyo banyataka na makolo.
8 [If you want to read about] [RHQ] everything else that Jehoahaz did, you can read about it in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Israel’.
Makambo mosusu oyo etali bokonzi ya Yoakazi mpe misala na ye nyonso, ekomama kati na buku ya masolo ya bakonzi ya Isalaele.
9 Jehoahaz died [EUP] and was buried in Samaria. Then his son Jehoash became the king.
Yoakazi akendeki kokutana na bakoko na ye, mpe bakundaki ye na Samari. Bongo Joasi, mwana na ye ya mobali, akitanaki na ye na bokonzi.
10 Jehoash, the son of Jehoahaz, started to rule in Israel after King Joash had been ruling in Judah for 23 years. Jehoash ruled in Samaria for 17 years.
Na mobu ya tuku misato na sambo ya bokonzi ya Joasi, mokonzi ya Yuda, Joasi, mwana mobali ya Yoakazi, akomaki mokonzi ya Isalaele kati na Samari. Akonzaki mibu zomi na motoba.
11 He did many things that Yahweh considered to be evil. He refused to turn away from worshiping idols, which was the sin that [many years earlier King] Jeroboam had told the Israeli people to commit.
Asalaki makambo mabe na miso ya Yawe mpe atikaki te masumu nyonso ya Jeroboami, mwana mobali ya Nebati, oyo akweyisaki na yango Isalaele. Joasi akobaki kaka na masumu yango.
12 The other things that happened while Jehoash was king and all the things that he did are written in the book called ‘The Account of What the Kings of Israel Did’. In that account they wrote about Jehoash’s [army’s] victories, and their war with [the army of] King Amaziah of Judah.
Makambo mosusu oyo etali bokonzi ya Joasi mpe misala na ye nyonso, bakisa bitumba oyo abundisaki Amatsia, mokonzi ya Yuda, ekomama kati na buku ya masolo ya bakonzi ya Isalaele.
13 When Jehoash died, he was buried in Samaria where the [other] kings of Israel were buried. Then his son Jeroboam became king.
Joasi akendeki kokutana na bakoko na ye, mpe Jeroboami akitanaki na ye na bokonzi. Bakundaki Joasi kati na Samari esika moko na bakonzi ya Isalaele.
14 Elisha became very ill. Just before he died, King Jehoash went to Elisha and cried in front of him. [Saying the same words that Elisha had said when Elijah was taken to heaven], he said, “My father/master! My father/master! The chariots of us Israeli people and their drivers [are taking my master away]!”
Elize abelaki bokono oyo ememaki ye na kufa. Joasi, mokonzi ya Isalaele, akendeki kotala ye mpe alelaki na miso na ye na maloba oyo: — Tata na ngai! Tata na ngai! Ozali bashar mpe bampunda ya Isalaele!
15 Elisha said to him, “Bring to me a bow and some arrows!” So the king did that.
Elize alobaki na ye: — Zwa tolotolo moko mpe ndambo ya makonga ya mike. Joasi asalaki bongo.
16 Then Elisha told the king to put his hands on the bow [and prepare to shoot some arrows]. And then Elisha put his own hands on the king’s hands.
Bongo Elize alobaki na mokonzi ya Isalaele: — Simba tolotolo na maboko na yo. Tango Joasi asimbaki tolotolo, Elize atiaki maboko na ye na likolo ya maboko ya mokonzi.
17 Then Elisha told him, “[Have someone] open that window toward the east.” So they opened it. Then Elisha said, “Shoot!” So the king did. Then Elisha said, “That is the arrow that [indicates that your army] will defeat the Syrian army. Your army will completely defeat their [army] at Aphek [town].”
Elize alobaki: — Fungola lininisa oyo ezali na ngambo ya este. Joasi afungolaki yango. Elize alobaki: — Beta! Joasi abetaki. Elize alobaki: — Ezali likonga ya elonga ya Yawe, likonga ya elonga liboso ya bato ya Siri. Okosilisa bato ya Siri, na Afeki.
18 Then Elisha said, “Pick up the other arrows and strike the ground with them!” So the king picked up the arrows and struck the ground three times.
Bongo Elize abakisaki: — Zwa makonga. Mokonzi azwaki yango. Elize alobaki na mokonzi ya Isalaele: — Beta yango na mabele. Joasi abetaki yango mbala misato mpe atikaki.
19 But Elisha was angry with him. He exclaimed, “You should have struck the ground five or six times! If you had done that, your army would have defeated the Syrian [army] until they were completely wiped out! But now, [because you struck the ground only three times, ] your army will defeat them only three times!”
Moto na Nzambe asilikelaki ye mpe alobaki: — Ebongaki na yo kobeta yango na mabele mbala mitano to mbala motoba, boye olingaki kolonga bato ya Siri mpe kosilisa bango nye. Kasi sik’oyo, okolonga bato ya Siri kaka mbala misato.
20 Then Elisha died and was buried. Groups of raiders from Moab came to Israel each year during (spring/the time when the cold season was ending).
Elize akufaki, mpe bakundaki ye. Nzokande masanga ya bato mabe ya Moabi bazalaki kokota na mokili ya Isalaele na ebandeli ya mibu nyonso.
21 One year, when some Israeli people were burying a man’s body, they saw a group of those raiders. [They were afraid, ] so quickly they threw that man’s body into the tomb where Elisha [had been buried, and they ran away]. But as soon as the man’s body touched Elisha’s bones, the dead man became alive again and jumped up!
Mokolo moko, tango bazalaki kokunda moto moko, bamonaki na mbalakata lisanga moko ya bato mabe. Bongo, babwakaki na lombangu ebembe ya moto yango kati na kunda ya Elize. Tango ebembe etutaki mikuwa ya Elize, moto yango azongaki na bomoi mpe atelemaki.
22 King Hazael of Syria [sent soldiers to] oppress the Israeli people all during the years that Jehoahaz [ruled Judah].
Azaeli, mokonzi ya Siri, anyokolaki Isalaele, na tango ya bokonzi ya Yoakazi.
23 But Yahweh was very kind [DOU] to the Israeli people. He helped them because of the agreement that he had made with [their ancestors] Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. He did not get rid of the Israelis, and he still has not rejected them.
Kasi Yawe asalelaki bango ngolu, ayokelaki bango mawa, mpe azongelaki bango, mpo na boyokani na Ye elongo na Abrayami, Izaki mpe Jakobi. Na tango wana, Yawe alingaki koboma bango te mpe aboyaki kobengana bango mosika ya miso na Ye.
24 When Hazael the king of Syria died, his son Ben-Hadad became the king.
Azaeli, mokonzi ya Siri, akufaki, mpe Beni-Adadi, mwana na ye ya mobali, akitanaki na ye na bokonzi.
25 [The army of] King Jehoash of Israel defeated [the army of] King Ben-Hadad three times, and recaptured the cities that Ben-Hadad’s army had captured during the time that Jehoash’s father Jehoahaz was ruling Israel.
Bongo Joasi, mwana mobali ya Yoakazi, abotolaki na maboko ya Beni-Adadi, mwana ya Azaeli, bingumba oyo Azaeli abotolaki na bitumba epai ya Yoakazi, tata ya Joasi. Joasi alongaki Azaeli mbala misato mpe abotolaki bingumba ya Isalaele.
