2 Chronicles 24
1 Joash [was] seven years old when he began to reign, and he reigned forty years in Jerusalem. His mother's name also [was] Zibiah of Beer-sheba.
Joasi azalaki na mibu sambo ya mbotama tango akomaki mokonzi, mpe akonzaki mibu tuku minei na Yelusalemi. Kombo ya mama na ye ezalaki « Tsibia. » Tsibia azalaki moto ya Beri-Sheba.
2 And Joash did [that which was] right in the sight of the LORD all the days of Jehoiada the priest.
Joasi asalaki makambo ya sembo na miso ya Yawe na mikolo nyonso ya bomoi ya Nganga-Nzambe Yeoyada.
3 And Jehoiada took for him two wives; and he begat sons and daughters.
Yeoyada aponaki mpo na Joasi basi mibale oyo babotelaki ye bana mibali mpe bana basi.
4 And it came to pass after this, [that] Joash was minded to repair the house of the LORD.
Sima na yango, Joasi azwaki mokano ya kobongisa Tempelo ya Yawe.
5 And he convened the priests and the Levites, and said to them, Go out to the cities of Judah, and gather from all Israel money to repair the house of your God from year to year, and see that ye hasten the matter. But the Levites hastened [it] not.
Abengisaki Banganga-Nzambe mpe Balevi, alobaki na bango: — Botambola kati na bingumba ya Yuda, bokongola mbongo, mobu na mobu, kati na Isalaele mobimba mpo na kobongisa Tempelo ya Yawe, Nzambe na bino. Bosala yango sik’oyo. Kasi Balevi basalaki yango na lombangu te.
6 And the king called for Jehoiada the chief, and said to him, Why hast thou not required of the Levites to bring in out of Judah and out of Jerusalem the collection, [according to the commandment] of Moses the servant of the LORD, and of the congregation of Israel, for the tabernacle of witness?
Mokonzi abengisaki Yeoyada, mokonzi ya Banganga-Nzambe, mpe alobaki na ye: « Mpo na nini olobaki te na Balevi ete bakongola, wuta na Yuda mpe na Yelusalemi, mpako oyo Moyize, mosali na Yawe, akatelaki lisanga ya Isalaele mpo na Ndako ya kapo ya Litatoli? »
7 For the sons of Athaliah that wicked woman, had broken up the house of God; and also all the dedicated things of the house of the LORD they bestowed upon Baalim.
Nzokande, bana mibali ya Atali, mwasi mabe, batobolaki madusu mpo na kokota kati na Tempelo ya Yawe mpe basalelaki ata bisalelo na yango nyonso ya bule mpo na losambo ya banzambe Bala.
8 And at the king's commandment they made a chest, and set it without at the gate of the house of the LORD.
Mokonzi apesaki mitindo ete basala sanduku, batia yango na libanda ya ekuke ya Tempelo ya Yawe
9 And they made a proclamation through Judah and Jerusalem, to bring in to the LORD the collection [that] Moses the servant of God [laid] upon Israel in the wilderness.
mpe batatola kati na Yuda mpe kati na Yelusalemi ete basengeli komemela Yawe mpako oyo Moyize, mosali na Nzambe, akatelaki Isalaele kati na esobe.
10 And all the princes and all the people rejoiced, and brought in, and cast into the chest, until they had made an end.
Bakalaka nyonso mpe bato nyonso basepelaki na yango: bamemaki mbongo na bango mpe batiaki yango kati na sanduku kino etondaki.
11 Now it came to pass, that at the time the chest was brought to the king's office by the hand of the Levites, and when they saw that [there was] much money, the king's scribe and the high priest's officer came and emptied the chest, and took it, and carried it to its place again. Thus they did day by day, and collected money in abundance.
Tango nyonso Balevi bazalaki komema sanduku epai ya bakalaka ya mokonzi mpe bazalaki komona ete ezalaki na mbongo ebele, mokomi mikanda ya mokonzi mpe mobombi biloko ya mokonzi ya Banganga-Nzambe bazalaki koya kolongola mbongo oyo ezalaki kati na sanduku mpe kozongisa sanduku na esika na yango. Bazalaki kosala bongo mikolo nyonso mpe bazalaki kokongola mbongo ebele.
12 And the king and Jehoiada gave it to such as did the work of the service of the house of the LORD, and hired masons and carpenters to repair the house of the LORD, and also such as wrought iron and brass to mend the house of the LORD.
Mokonzi mpe Yeoyada bazalaki kopesa yango na bato oyo bazalaki kosala misala ya kobongisa Tempelo ya Yawe. Bafutaki babuki mabanga, basharipantie mpe bato oyo basalaka misala ya bibende mpe ya bronze na moto, mpo na kobongisa Tempelo ya Yawe.
13 So the workmen wrought, and the work was perfected by them, and they set the house of God in its state, and strengthened it.
Bato oyo bazalaki kosala misala basalaki yango noki, mpe misala ezalaki kotambola malamu na bokambami na bango. Babongisaki Tempelo ya Nzambe ndenge ezalaka.
14 And when they had finished [it], they brought the rest of the money before the king and Jehoiada, of which were made vessels for the house of the LORD, [even] vessels to minister, and to offer [with], and spoons, and vessels of gold and silver. And they offered burnt-offerings in the house of the LORD continually all the days of Jehoiada.
Tango basilisaki, bazongisaki epai ya mokonzi mpe Yeoyada mbongo oyo etikalaki. Na mbongo yango, basalaki bisalelo mpo na Tempelo ya Yawe, mpo na losambo, mpo na bambeka ya kotumba, bakopo, mpe bisalelo mosusu ya wolo mpe ya palata. Na mikolo nyonso ya bomoi ya Nganga-Nzambe Yeoyada, bazalaki kobonza bambeka ya kotumba kati na Tempelo ya Yawe.
15 But Jehoiada grew old, and was full of days when he died; a hundred and thirty years old [was] he when he died.
Yeoyada akomaki mobange makasi, atondaki mikolo mpe akufaki tango akokisaki mibu nkama moko na tuku misato ya mbotama.
16 And they buried him in the city of David among the kings, because he had done good in Israel, both towards God, and towards his house.
Bakundaki ye kati na engumba ya Davidi esika moko na bakonzi mpo na bolamu oyo asalaki kati na Isalaele, mpo na Nzambe mpe mpo na Tempelo ya Yawe.
17 Now after the death of Jehoiada came the princes of Judah, and made obeisance to the king. Then the king hearkened to them.
Sima na kufa ya Yeoyada, bakambi ya Yuda bayaki kopesa mokonzi lokumu, mpe mokonzi ayokaki bango.
18 And they left the house of the LORD God of their fathers, and served groves and idols: and wrath came upon Judah and Jerusalem for this their trespass.
Basundolaki Tempelo ya Yawe, Nzambe ya batata na bango, mpe bakomaki kogumbamela makonzi ya Ashera mpe banzambe ya bikeko. Mpo na etamboli mabe na bango, kanda ya Yawe ekweyelaki Yuda mpe Yelusalemi.
19 Yet he sent prophets to them, to bring them again to the LORD; and they testified against them: but they would not give ear.
Atako Yawe atindaki basakoli kati na bango mpo na kozongisa bango epai na Ye, mpe atako basakoli bapamelaki bango, kasi batikalaki kaka koyoka te.
20 And the Spirit of God came upon Zechariah the son of Jehoiada the priest, who stood above the people, and said to them, Thus saith God, Why transgress ye the commandments of the LORD, that ye cannot prosper? because ye have forsaken the LORD, he hath also forsaken you.
Molimo ya Nzambe akitelaki Zakari, mwana mobali ya Nganga-Nzambe Yeoyada, mpe Zakari atelemaki liboso ya bato mpe alobaki: « Tala makambo oyo Nzambe alobi: ‹ Mpo na nini bozali kotosa mitindo ya Yawe te? Bokokende liboso te! Lokola bosundoli Yawe, Ye mpe asundoli bino. › »
21 And they conspired against him, and stoned him with stones at the commandment of the king in the court of the house of the LORD.
Kasi bato basalelaki ye likita; mpe na etinda ya mokonzi, babomaki ye na mabanga kati na lopango ya Tempelo ya Yawe.
22 Thus Joash the king remembered not the kindness which Jehoiada his father had done to him, but slew his son. And when he died, he said, The LORD look upon [it], and require [it].
Mokonzi Joasi abosanaki bolamu nyonso oyo Yeoyada, tata ya Zakari, asalelaki ye, mpe abomaki Zakari, mwana mobali ya Yeoyada. Tango azalaki kokufa, Zakari alobaki: « Tika ete Yawe amona mpe akata likambo oyo! »
23 And it came to pass at the end of the year, [that] the army of Syria came up against him: and they came to Judah and Jerusalem, and destroyed all the princes of the people from among the people, and sent all the spoil of them to the king of Damascus.
Na suka ya mobu, basoda ya Siri babundisaki Joasi, bakotaki na makasi kati na Yuda mpe Yelusalemi, babomaki bakambi nyonso ya bato mpe batindaki bomengo nyonso ya bitumba epai ya mokonzi na bango, na Damasi.
24 For the army of the Syrians came with a small company of men, and the LORD delivered a very great host into their hand, because they had forsaken the LORD God of their fathers. So they executed judgment against Joash.
Atako ndambo ya basoda ya Siri kaka nde bayaki, kasi Yawe akabaki na maboko na bango mampinga ya bato ya Yuda, oyo elekaki monene, pamba te basundolaki Yawe, Nzambe ya batata na bango. Boye, basoda ya Siri bakokisaki etumbu oyo ekweyelaki Joasi.
25 And when they had departed from him, (for they left him in great diseases, ) his own servants conspired against him for the blood of the sons of Jehoiada the priest, and slew him on his bed, and he died: and they buried him in the city of David, but they buried him not in the sepulchers of the kings.
Tango bato ya Siri bazongaki, batikaki Joasi na bapota minene. Bakalaka na ye basalelaki ye likita na ndenge abomaki mwana mobali ya Nganga-Nzambe Yeoyada mpe babomaki ye na mbeto na ye. Boye, akufaki mpe bakundaki ye kati na engumba ya Davidi, kasi kati na bakunda ya bakonzi te.
26 And these are they that conspired against him; Zabad the son of Shimeath an Ammonitess, and Jehozabad the son of Shimrith a Moabitess.
Tala bato oyo basalelaki ye likita: Zabadi, mwana mobali ya Shimeati, mwasi ya mboka Amoni; mpe Yozabadi, mwana mobali ya Shimiriti, mwasi ya Moabi.
27 Now [concerning] his sons, and the greatness of the burdens [laid] upon him, and the repairing of the house of God, behold, they [are] written in the story of the book of the kings. And Amaziah his son reigned in his stead.
Bakombo ya bana na ye ya mibali, maloba nyonso oyo basakolaki mpo na ye mpe mikano oyo babongisaki mpo na Tempelo ya Nzambe ekomama kati na buku ya masolo ya bakonzi. Amatsia, mwana na ye ya mobali, akitanaki na ye na bokonzi.
