2 Kings 17
1 In the twelfth year of Ahaz king of Judah began Hoshea the son of Elah to reign in Samaria over Israel nine years.
Tango Akazi, mokonzi ya Yuda, akokisaki mibu zomi na mibale na bokonzi, Oze, mwana mobali ya Ela, akomaki mokonzi ya Isalaele na Samari. Akonzaki mibu libwa.
2 And he did [that which was] evil in the sight of the LORD, but not as the kings of Israel that were before him.
Oze asalaki makambo mabe na miso ya Yawe, kasi ndenge moko te na bakonzi ya Isalaele, oyo bazalaki liboso na ye.
3 Against him came up Shalmaneser king of Assyria; and Hoshea became his servant, and gave him presents.
Salimanasari, mokonzi ya Asiri, ayaki kobundisa Oze. Mpe Oze akomaki mowumbu mpe akomaki kofuta mpako epai ya Salimanasari.
4 And the king of Assyria found conspiracy in Hoshea: for he had sent messengers to So king of Egypt, and brought no present to the king of Assyria, as [he had done] year by year: therefore the king of Assyria shut him up, and bound him in prison.
Kasi mokonzi ya Asiri asosolaki ete Oze asaleli ye likita, pamba te Oze atindaki bantoma epai ya So, mokonzi ya Ejipito, mpe atikaki kofuta mpako epai ya mokonzi ya Asiri ndenge azalaki kosala mobu na mobu. Boye Salimanasari akangaki Oze mpe atiaki ye na boloko.
5 Then the king of Assyria came up throughout all the land, and went up to Samaria, and besieged it three years.
Mokonzi ya Asiri akotaki na makasi na mokili mobimba, abundisaki Samari mpe azingelaki yango mibu misato.
6 In the ninth year of Hoshea, the king of Assyria took Samaria, and carried Israel away into Assyria, and placed them in Halah and in Habor [by] the river of Gozan, and in the cities of the Medes.
Tango Oze akokisaki mibu libwa na bokonzi, mokonzi ya Asiri abotolaki Samari mpe amemaki bana ya Isalaele na bowumbu na Asiri. Atiaki bango na Ala mpe na bapembeni ya ebale ya Abori, na etuka ya Gozani mpe na bingumba ya Medi.
7 For [so] it was, that the children of Israel had sinned against the LORD their God, who had brought them out of the land of Egypt, from under the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and had feared other gods,
Makambo oyo esalemaki mpo ete bato ya Isalaele basalaki masumu liboso ya Yawe, Nzambe na bango, oyo abimisaki bango wuta na bokonzi ya Faraon, mokonzi ya Ejipito; bagumbamelaki banzambe mosusu.
8 And walked in the statutes of the heathen, whom the LORD cast out from before the children of Israel, and of the kings of Israel which they had made.
Balandaki bizaleli ya bikolo oyo Yawe abenganaki liboso na bango mpe makambo oyo bakonzi ya Isalaele bakotisaki.
9 And the children of Israel did secretly things that [were] not right against the LORD their God, and they built for themselves high places in all their cities, from the tower of the watchmen to the fortified city.
Bato ya Isalaele basalaki na nkuku makambo ya nkele na miso ya Yawe, Nzambe na bango. Batongaki bisambelo ya likolo ya bangomba kati na bingumba na bango nyonso, kobanda na likolo ya bamir ya lopango kino na bingumba batonga makasi.
10 And they set up for themselves images and groves on every high hill, and under every green tree:
Batelemisaki mabanga ya bule mpe makonzi ya nzambe mwasi Ashera na likolo ya bangomba nyonso mpe na se ya banzete nyonso ya mibesu.
11 And there they burnt incense on all the high places, as [did] the heathen whom the LORD carried away before them; and wrought wicked things to provoke the LORD to anger:
Batumbaki ansa na bisambelo nyonso ya likolo ya bangomba, ndenge bikolo oyo Yawe abenganaki liboso na bango ezalaki kosala. Basalaki makambo mabe oyo etumbolaki kanda ya Yawe.
12 For they served idols, of which the LORD had said to them, Ye shall not do this thing.
Bagumbamelaki banzambe ya bikeko oyo na tina na yango Yawe alobaki: « Bokosala bongo te. »
13 Yet the LORD testified against Israel, and against Judah, by all the prophets, [and by] all the seers, saying, Turn ye from your evil ways, and keep my commandments [and] my statutes, according to all the law which I commanded your fathers, and which I sent to you by my servants the prophets.
Yawe akebisaki Isalaele mpe Yuda na nzela ya basali na Ye nyonso, basakoli mpe bamoni makambo, na maloba oyo: « Botika banzela na bino ya mabe, bobatela mibeko mpe bikateli na Ngai kolanda mibeko nyonso oyo napesaki bino mpe bakoko na bino na nzela ya basali na Ngai, basakoli. »
14 Notwithstanding, they would not hear, but hardened their necks, like the neck of their fathers, that did not believe in the LORD their God.
Kasi bayokaki te; batiaki moto makasi lokola bakoko na bango, oyo baboyaki kondimela Yawe, Nzambe na bango.
15 And they rejected his statutes, and his covenant that he made with their fathers, and his testimonies which he testified against them; and they followed vanity, and became vain, and went after the heathen that [were] around them, [concerning] whom the LORD had charged them, that they should not do like them.
Babwakaki bikateli na Ye, boyokani oyo asalaki elongo na bakoko na bango mpe makebisi oyo apesaki bango. Balandaki bikolo oyo ezalaki zingazinga na bango. Yawe apesaki bango mitindo ete basala te lokola bango, kasi bango basalaki kaka makambo oyo Yawe apekisaki bango kosala.
16 And they left all the commandments of the LORD their God, and made for themselves molten images, [even] two calves, and made a grove, and worshiped all the host of heaven, and served Baal.
Batikaki mitindo nyonso ya Yawe, Nzambe na bango, mpe bamisalelaki banzambe ya bikeko ya bana ngombe mibale basala na bibende oyo banyangwisa na moto, mpe likonzi ya nzambe mwasi Ashera. Bango nyonso bagumbamelaki mampinga nyonso ya likolo, mpe basambelaki nzambe Bala.
17 And they caused their sons and their daughters to pass through the fire, and used divination and enchantments, and sold themselves to do evil in the sight of the LORD, to provoke him to anger.
Batumbaki na moto lokola mbeka bana na bango ya mibali mpe bana na bango ya basi. Basalelaki soloka mpe kindoki, mpe bamikabaki mpo na kosala makambo mabe na miso ya Yawe. Boye batumbolaki kanda ya Yawe.
18 Therefore the LORD was very angry with Israel, and removed them out of his sight: there was none left but the tribe of Judah only.
Yawe asilikelaki makasi bana ya Isalaele mpe abenganaki bango mosika na Ye. Kaka libota ya Yuda nde batikalaki.
19 Also Judah kept not the commandments of the LORD their God, but walked in the statutes of Israel which they made.
Nzokande, libota yango mpe ya Yuda babatelaki te mitindo ya Yawe, Nzambe na bango, balandaki bizaleli oyo Isalaele akotisaki.
20 And the LORD rejected all the seed of Israel, and afflicted them, and delivered them into the hand of spoilers, until he had cast them out of his sight.
Boye, Yawe abwakaki bana nyonso ya Isalaele, ayokisaki bango pasi, akabaki bango na maboko ya bato ya mobulu, mpe abenganaki bango mosika na Ye.
21 For he rent Israel from the house of David; and they made Jeroboam the son of Nebat king: and Jeroboam drove Israel from following the LORD, and made them sin a great sin.
Tango Yawe alongolaki Isalaele na se ya bokonzi ya Davidi, bana ya Isalaele bakomisaki Jeroboami, mwana mobali ya Nebati, mokonzi na bango. Jeroboami atindikaki Isalaele ete balanda Yawe te, mpe amemisaki bango lisumu ya monene.
22 For the children of Israel walked in all the sins of Jeroboam which he did; they departed not from them;
Bato ya Isalaele bakangamaki na masumu nyonso ya Jeroboami mpe batikaki yango te
23 Until the LORD removed Israel out of his sight, as he had said by all his servants the prophets. So was Israel carried away out of their own land to Assyria to this day.
kino tango Yawe abenganaki bango mosika na Ye, ndenge ayebisaki bango na nzela ya basali na Ye nyonso, basakoli. Boye, bamemaki bana ya Isalaele na bowumbu, mosika ya mokili na bango, na Asiri kino lelo.
24 And the king of Assyria brought [men] from Babylon, and from Cuthah, and from Ava, and from Hamath, and from Sepharvaim, and placed [them] in the cities of Samaria instead of the children of Israel: and they possessed Samaria, and dwelt in its cities.
Mokonzi ya Asiri amemaki bato wuta na bingumba ya Babiloni, ya Kuti, ya Ava, ya Amati mpe ya Sefarivayimi; mpe atiaki bango na Samari, na esika ya bana ya Isalaele. Bato yango bazwaki Samari mpe bavandaki kati na bingumba na yango.
25 And [so] it was at the beginning of their dwelling there, [that] they feared not the LORD: therefore the LORD sent lions among them, which slew [some] of them.
Liboso, tango bazalaki kovanda kuna, bato yango bazalaki kogumbamela Yawe te. Boye Yawe atindaki nkosi kati na bango, mpe ebomaki ndambo ya bato kati na bango.
26 Wherefore they spoke to the king of Assyria, saying, The nations which thou hast removed, and placed in the cities of Samaria, know not the manner of the God of the land: therefore he hath sent lions among them, and behold, they slay them, because they know not the manner of the God of the land.
Bayebisaki mokonzi ya Asiri: — Bikolo oyo omemaki na bowumbu mpe otiaki kati na bingumba ya Samari bayebi te makambo oyo Nzambe ya mokili wana alingaka. Boye Nzambe atindi kati na bango nkosi oyo ezali koboma bango, pamba te bato yango bayebi te makambo oyo Nzambe yango alingaka.
27 Then the king of Assyria commanded, saying, Carry thither one of the priests whom ye brought from thence; and let them go and dwell there, and let him teach them the manner of the God of the land.
Boye mokonzi ya Asiri apesaki mitindo oyo: — Botinda kuna moko kati na Banganga-Nzambe oyo bomemaki na bowumbu wuta na Samari mpo ete avanda kuna mpe alakisa bato makambo oyo Nzambe ya mokili wana alingaka.
28 Then one of the priests whom they had carried away from Samaria came and dwelt in Beth-el, and taught them how they should fear the LORD.
Boye moko kati na Banganga-Nzambe oyo bamemaki na bowumbu wuta na Samari ayaki kovanda na Beteli mpe alakisaki bango kogumbamela Yawe.
29 Yet, every nation made gods of their own, and put [them] in the houses of the high places which the Samaritans had made, every nation in their cities in which they dwelt.
Kasi ekolo na ekolo esalaki banzambe na yango kati na bingumba nyonso oyo bazalaki kovanda, mpe batiaki banzambe yango kati na bisika ya bule ya bisambelo ya likolo ya bangomba oyo bato ya Samari batongaki.
30 And the men of Babylon made Succoth-benoth, and the men of Cuth made Nergal, and the men of Hamath made Ashima,
Bato oyo bawutaki na Babiloni basalaki ekeko ya nzambe Sukoti-Benoti; ba-oyo bawutaki na Kuti basalaki ekeko ya nzambe Nerigali; ba-oyo bawutaki na Amati basalaki ekeko ya nzambe Ashima;
31 And the Avites made Nibhaz and Tartak, and the Sepharvites burnt their children in the fire to Adrammelech and Anammelech, the gods of Sepharvaim.
ba-oyo bawutaki na Ava basalaki bikeko ya nzambe Nibikazi mpe nzambe Taritaki; ba-oyo bawutaki na Sefarivayimi bazalaki kokoba kotumba bana na bango na moto lokola mbeka epai ya Adrameleki mpe Anameleki, banzambe ya bato ya Sefarivayimi.
32 So they feared the LORD, and made to themselves of the lowest of them priests of the high places, who sacrificed for them in the houses of the high places.
Bato ya bikolo yango bazalaki na bango kotosa Yawe, kasi baponaki lisusu kati na bango bato mpo na kosala mosala ya bonganga-nzambe kati na bisika ya bule ya bisambelo ya likolo ya bangomba.
33 They feared the LORD, and served their own gods, after the manner of the nations whom they carried away from thence.
Atako bazalaki kotosa Yawe, kasi bazalaki mpe kosalela banzambe na bango kolanda bizaleli ya bikolo epai wapi bawutaki.
34 To this day they do after the former manners: they fear not the LORD, neither do they after their statutes, or after their ordinances, or after the law and commandment which the LORD commanded the children of Jacob, whom he named Israel;
Kino lelo, bakangami kaka na bizaleli na bango ya kala; bagumbamelaka penza Yawe te mpe batosaka te bikateli mpe malako, mibeko mpe mitindo oyo Yawe apesaki epai ya bakitani ya Jakobi oyo apesaki kombo « Isalaele. »
35 With whom the LORD had made a covenant, and charged them, saying, Ye shall not fear other gods, nor bow yourselves to them, nor serve them, nor sacrifice to them:
Tango Yawe asalaki boyokani elongo na bana ya Isalaele, alobaki na bango: « Bokogumbamela banzambe mosusu te, bokofukamela yango te, bokosalela yango te mpe bokobonzela yango bambeka te;
36 But the LORD, who brought you out of the land of Egypt with great power and an out-stretched arm, him shall ye fear, and him shall ye worship, and to him shall ye do sacrifice.
kaka Yawe oyo abimisaki bino wuta na Ejipito, na nguya mpe na loboko esembolama, nde bosengeli kogumbamela. Liboso na Ye kaka nde bosengeli kogumbama mpe kobonza bambeka.
37 And the statutes, and the ordinances, and the law, and the commandment which he wrote for you, ye shall observe to do for evermore; and ye shall not fear other gods.
Bosengeli tango nyonso kozala na bokebi mpo na kobatela bikateli mpe malako, mibeko mpe mitindo oyo Yawe akomaki mpo na bino. Bogumbamela banzambe mosusu te,
38 And the covenant that I have made with you ye shall not forget; neither shall ye fear other gods.
bobosana te boyokani oyo nasalaki elongo na bino, mpe bogumbamela banzambe mosusu te.
39 But the LORD your God ye shall fear; and he will deliver you out of the hand of all your enemies.
Kaka Yawe, Nzambe na bino, nde bosengeli kogumbamela, pamba te Ye nde akangolaki bino na maboko ya banguna na bino nyonso. »
40 Yet they did not hearken, but they did after their former manner.
Kasi bato ya bikolo wana bayokaki te mpe batingamaki kaka na bizaleli na bango ya kala.
41 So these nations feared the LORD, and served their graven images, both their children, and their children's children: as did their fathers, so do they to this day.
Atako bato ya bikolo yango bazalaki kotosa Yawe, kasi bazalaki mpe kosalela banzambe na bango ya bikeko. Kino lelo, bana na bango mpe bakitani na bango bazali kokoba kosala makambo oyo bakoko na bango bazalaki kosala.
