2 Chronicles 25
1 Amaziah was twenty-five years old when he began to reign; he reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Jehoaddan, of Jerusalem.
Amatsia azalaki na mibu tuku mibale na mitano ya mbotama tango akomaki mokonzi, mpe akonzaki mibu tuku mibale na libwa na Yelusalemi. Kombo ya mama na ye ezalaki « Yeoyadani. » Yeoyadani azalaki moto ya Yelusalemi.
2 He did what was right in the eyes of Yahweh, but not with a whole heart.
Asalaki makambo ya sembo na miso ya Yawe, kasi na motema na ye mobimba te.
3 It came about that as soon as his rule was well established, he killed the servants who had murdered his father, the king.
Sima na Amatsia kolendisa bokonzi na ye, abomaki bakalaka oyo babomaki tata na ye, mokonzi.
4 But he did not put the children of the murderers to death, but acted according to what was written in the law, in the Book of Moses, as Yahweh had commanded, “The fathers must not die for the children, nor must the children die for the fathers. Instead, every person must die for his own sin.”
Nzokande, abomaki te bana mibali ya babomi ya tata na ye, pamba te kolanda ndenge ekomama kati na Mobeko, kati na buku ya Moyize, Yawe apesaki mitindo oyo: « Bakoboma batata te mpo na bana na bango to mpe bakoboma bana te mpo na batata; bakoboma moto na moto mpo na masumu na ye moko. »
5 Moreover, Amaziah gathered Judah together, and registered them by their ancestors' houses, under commanders of thousands and commanders of hundreds—all of Judah and Benjamin. He numbered them from twenty years old and upward, and found them to be 300,000 chosen men, able to go to war, who could handle spear and shield.
Amatsia abengisaki bato ya Yuda mpe atiaki, kolanda mabota na bango, bakonzi ya bankoto mpe ya bankama mpo na Yuda mobimba mpe Benjame. Atangaki motango ya bato oyo bazalaki na mibu kobanda tuku mibale mpe komata: bazalaki mibali nkoto nkama misato oyo baselingwa mpo na kosala mosala ya soda, kobunda na makonga mpe na nguba.
6 He hired also 100,000 fighting men from Israel for one hundred talents of silver.
Kati na Isalaele, azwaki lisusu na mosala ya soda, na motuya ya bakilo nkoto misato na nkama mitano ya palata, basoda ya mpiko nkoto nkama moko.
7 But a man of God came to him and said, “King, do not let the army of Israel go with you, for Yahweh is not with Israel—none of the people of Ephraim.
Kasi moto moko ya Nzambe ayaki epai na ye mpe alobaki: — Oh mokonzi, tika ete basoda ya Isalaele bakende te elongo na yo na bitumba, pamba te Yawe azali te elongo na Isalaele mpe elongo na bato ya Efrayimi.
8 But even if you do go and are courageous and strong in battle, God will throw you down before the enemy, for God has power to help, and power to throw down.”
Ata soki okeyi kobunda na mpiko nyonso, Nzambe akokweyisa yo liboso ya monguna, pamba te azali na makoki ya kosunga mpe ya kokweyisa.
9 Amaziah said to the man of God, “But what will we do about the one hundred talents that I have given to the army of Israel?” The man of God answered, “Yahweh is able to give you much more than that.”
Amatsia atunaki moto na Nzambe: — Boni, nkoto misato na nkama mitano ya bakilo ya palata oyo napesaki mampinga ya Isalaele ekosuka ndenge nini? Moto na Nzambe azongisaki: — Yawe akoki kopesa yo koleka oyo wana.
10 So Amaziah separated the army that had come to him from Ephraim; he sent them home again. So their anger was greatly kindled against Judah, and they returned home in fierce anger.
Boye, Amatsia azongisaki na bandako na bango, basoda oyo bayaki epai na ye wuta na Efrayimi. Kasi basoda yango basilikelaki Yuda mpe bazongaki na bandako na bango na kanda makasi.
11 Amaziah took courage and led his people to go out to the Valley of Salt; there he defeated ten thousand men of Seir.
Amatsia azwaki mpiko mpe akambaki mampinga na ye kino na Lubwaku ya mungwa epai wapi abomaki bato ya Seiri nkoto zomi.
12 The army of Judah carried away alive another ten thousand. They took them to the top of the cliff and threw them down from there, so that they were all broken in pieces.
Bato ya Yuda bakangaki lisusu bato ya bomoi nkoto zomi, bamemaki bango na songe ya ngomba mpe batindikaki bango wuta na songe ya ngomba; mpe bango nyonso bakweyaki na se, banzoto na epanzanaki na biteni.
13 But the men of the army which Amaziah sent back, so that they should not go with him to battle, attacked the cities of Judah from Samaria to Beth Horon. They struck down three thousand of the people and took much plunder.
Na tango wana, basoda oyo Amatsia azongisaki mpe apekisaki kokende na bitumba bakotaki na makasi kati na bingumba ya Yuda longwa na Samari kino na Beti-Oroni. Babomaki bato nkoto misato mpe bamemaki bomengo ebele ya bitumba.
14 Now it came about, after that Amaziah had returned from the slaughter of the Edomites, that he brought the gods of the people of Seir, and set them up to be his own gods. He bowed down before them and burned incense to them.
Sima na ye kolonga bato ya Edomi na bitumba, Amatsia azongaki epai na ye; amemaki banzambe ya bikeko ya bato ya Seiri, akomisaki yango banzambe na ye moko, agumbamelaki yango mpe atumbelaki yango mbeka ya malasi.
15 So Yahweh's anger was kindled against Amaziah. He sent a prophet to him, who said, “Why have you sought after the gods of a people who did not even save their own people from your hand?”
Mpo na yango, kanda ya Yawe epelelaki Amatsia; mpe Yawe atindaki mosakoli moko kotuna Amatsia: — Mpo na nini ozali kogumbamela banzambe ya bato wana oyo ekokaki ata kokangola bato na yango te na loboko na yo?
16 It came about that as the prophet was speaking with him, the king said to him, “Have we made you an advisor to the king? Stop! Why should you be killed?” Then the prophet stopped and said, “I know that God has decided to destroy you because you have done this deed and have not listened to my advice.”
Wana azalaki nanu koloba, mokonzi alobaki na ye: — Kata! Nani atie yo mopesi toli ya mokonzi? Kanga monoko na yo, soki te bakoboma yo! Mosakoli abendaki nzoto; kasi, liboso ya kokende, alobaki: — Lokola osali boye mpe oboyi koyoka toli na ngai, nandimisami ete Nzambe azwi mokano ya koboma yo.
17 Then Amaziah king of Judah consulted with advisors and sent messengers to Jehoash son of Jehoahaz son of Jehu, king of Israel, saying, “Come, let us meet each other face to face in battle.”
Sima na Amatsia, mokonzi ya Yuda, kotuna toli epai ya bapesi toli na ye, abetaki mondenge na Joasi, mwana mobali ya Yoakazi mpe koko ya Jewu, mokonzi ya Isalaele; alobaki: — Yaka tobunda!
18 But Jehoash the king of Israel sent messengers back to Amaziah king of Judah, saying, “A thistle that was in Lebanon sent a message to a cedar in Lebanon, saying, 'Give your daughter to my son for a wife,' but a wild beast in Lebanon walked by and trampled down the thistle.
Kasi Joasi, mokonzi ya Isalaele, azongiselaki Amatsia, mokonzi ya Yuda: — Mokolo moko, nzete ya sende ya Libani etindaki maloba epai ya nzete ya sedele ya Libani: « Balisa mwana na yo ya mwasi epai ya mwana na ngai ya mobali. » Kasi nyama moko ya zamba ya Libani elekaki mpe enyataki nzete ya sende.
19 You have said, 'See, I have struck down Edom,' and your heart has lifted you up. Take pride in your victory, but stay at home, for why should you cause yourself trouble and fall, both you and Judah with you?”
Solo, ozali komilobela ete olongi Edomi, mpe motema ezali kosepela mpe komikumisa. Tala, ekoleka malamu ete ovanda na ndako na yo. Mpo na nini koluka ete pasi makasi ekweyela yo elongo na Yuda?
20 But Amaziah would not listen, because this event was from God, so he might put the people of Judah into the hand of their enemies, because they had sought advice from the gods of Edom.
Kasi Amatsia ayokaki ye te, pamba te Nzambe nde asalaki bongo mpo na kokaba bango na maboko ya Joasi, mpo ete basambelaki banzambe ya Edomi.
21 So Jehoash, king of Israel, attacked; he and Amaziah, king of Judah, met each other face to face at Beth Shemesh, which belongs to Judah.
Boye Joasi, mokonzi ya Isalaele, akendeki kobundisa Amatsia, mokonzi ya Yuda. Ye mpe Amatsia, mokonzi ya Yuda, babundaki na Beti-Shemeshi kati na mokili ya Yuda.
22 Judah was struck down before Israel, and every man fled home.
Isalaele alongaki Yuda, mpe bato ya Yuda bakimaki, moto na moto na ndako na ye.
23 Jehoash, king of Israel, captured Amaziah son of Jehoash son of Ahaziah, king of Judah, at Beth Shemesh. He brought him to Jerusalem and tore down the wall of Jerusalem from the Ephraim Gate to the Corner Gate, four hundred cubits in distance.
Joasi, mokonzi ya Isalaele, akangaki Amatsia, mokonzi ya Yuda, mwana mobali ya Joasi mpe koko ya Yoakazi, na Beti-Shemeshi. Amemaki ye na Yelusalemi mpe abukaki mir ya Yelusalemi, na molayi ya bametele pene nkama moko na tuku mwambe, longwa na ekuke ya Efrayimi kino na ekuke ya suka.
24 He took all the gold and silver, all the objects that were found in the house of God with Obed Edom, and the valuable things in the king's house, with hostages also, and returned to Samaria.
Joasi akamataki palata nyonso, wolo nyonso mpe biloko nyonso oyo ezalaki kati na Tempelo ya Nzambe oyo Obedi-Edomi azalaki kobatela, kati na bibombelo ya ndako ya mokonzi; akangaki bato na bowumbu mpe azongaki na Samari.
25 Amaziah son of Joash, king of Judah, lived fifteen years after the death of Jehoash, son of Jehoahaz, king of Israel.
Amatsia, mwana mobali ya Joasi, mokonzi ya Yuda, awumelaki lisusu na bomoi mibu zomi na mitano sima na kufa ya Joasi, mwana mobali ya Yoakazi, mokonzi ya Isalaele.
26 As for the other matters concerning Amaziah, first and last, behold, are they not written in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel?
Makambo mosusu oyo etali bokonzi ya Amatsia mpe misala na ye, kobanda na ebandeli kino na suka, ekomama kati na buku ya masolo ya bakonzi ya Yuda mpe ya Isalaele.
27 Now from the time that Amaziah turned away from following Yahweh, they began to make a conspiracy against him in Jerusalem. He fled to Lachish, but they sent men after him to Lachish and killed him there.
Kobanda na tango oyo Amatsia apesaki Yawe mokongo, basalelaki ye likita, na Yelusalemi, mpo na kotelemela ye; mpe akimaki na Lakishi. Kasi batindaki bato mpo ete balanda ye kino na Lakishi, mpe babomaki ye kuna.
28 They brought him back on horses and buried him with his ancestors in the city of Judah.
Bamemaki nzoto na ye na likolo ya mpunda mpe bakundaki ye esika moko na bakoko na ye kati na engumba ya Yuda.
