2 Kings 12
1 Jehoash began to reign in the seventh year of Jehu, and he reigned forty years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Zibiah of Beersheba.
Ezalaki tango Jewu akokisaki mibu sambo na bokonzi nde Joasi akomaki mokonzi. Joasi akonzaki mibu tuku minei na Yelusalemi. Kombo ya mama na ye ezalaki « Tsibia. » Tsibia azalaki moto ya Beri-Sheba.
2 Jehoash did that which was right in the LORD’s eyes all his days in which Jehoiada the priest instructed him.
Joasi asalaki makambo ya malamu na miso ya Yawe na mikolo nyonso oyo Nganga-Nzambe Yeoyada azalaki koteya ye.
3 However, the high places were not taken away. The people still sacrificed and burnt incense in the high places.
Nzokande, balongolaki te bisambelo ya likolo ya bangomba; bato bakobaki kaka kobonza kuna bambeka mpe kotumba ansa.
4 Jehoash said to the priests, “All the money of the holy things that is brought into the LORD’s house, in current money, the money of the people for whom each man is evaluated, and all the money that it comes into any man’s heart to bring into the LORD’s house,
Joasi alobaki na Banganga-Nzambe: « Bosangisa mbongo nyonso oyo bamemi lokola makabo ya bule kati na Tempelo ya Yawe: mbongo oyo bazwi na nzela ya kotanga bato, mbongo oyo bazwi lokola mpako mpo na kosikola bato kolanda motuya oyo ekatama, mpe mbongo oyo moto na moto apesi na Ndako ya Nzambe na motema ya esengo.
5 let the priests take it to them, each man from his donor; and they shall repair the damage to the house, wherever any damage is found.”
Tika ete Nganga-Nzambe moko na moko akamata mbongo na maboko ya babombi mbongo mpe basalela yango mpo na kobongisa eloko nyonso oyo ebebi kati na Ndako ya Nzambe. »
6 But it was so, that in the twenty-third year of King Jehoash the priests had not repaired the damage to the house.
Kasi tango mokonzi Joasi akokisaki mibu pene tuku mibale na misato na bokonzi, Banganga-Nzambe babongisaki nanu Ndako ya Nzambe te.
7 Then King Jehoash called for Jehoiada the priest, and for the other priests, and said to them, “Why aren’t you repairing the damage to the house? Now therefore take no more money from your treasurers, but deliver it for repair of the damage to the house.”
Boye, mokonzi Joasi abengisaki Nganga-Nzambe Yeoyada mpe Banganga-Nzambe mosusu. Atunaki bango: « Mpo na nini bozali kobongisa te biloko oyo ebebi kati na Ndako ya Nzambe? Sik’oyo, bokozwa lisusu mbongo te na maboko ya babombi mbongo na bino, kasi botika yango mpo na kobongisa Ndako ya Nzambe. »
8 The priests consented that they should take no more money from the people, and not repair the damage to the house.
Banganga-Nzambe bandimaki kotika kokongola mbongo na maboko ya bato mpe kotika kobongisa Ndako ya Nzambe.
9 But Jehoiada the priest took a chest and bored a hole in its lid, and set it beside the altar, on the right side as one comes into the LORD’s house; and the priests who kept the threshold put all the money that was brought into the LORD’s house into it.
Nganga-Nzambe Yeoyada akamataki sanduku moko mpe atobolaki mofinuku na yango. Atiaki sanduku pembeni ya etumbelo, na ngambo ya loboko ya mobali tango ozali kokota kati na Tempelo ya Yawe. Banganga-Nzambe oyo bazalaki kobatela ekuke batiaki kati na sanduku mbongo nyonso oyo bazalaki komema na Tempelo ya Yawe.
10 When they saw that there was much money in the chest, the king’s scribe and the high priest came up, and they put it in bags and counted the money that was found in the LORD’s house.
Tango nyonso bazalaki komona ete mbongo ekomi ebele kati na sanduku, mokomi mikanda ya mokonzi elongo na mokonzi ya Banganga-Nzambe bazalaki koya kotanga mbongo oyo bato bazalaki komema na Tempelo ya Yawe; bongo bazalaki kotia yango na basaki.
11 They gave the money that was weighed out into the hands of those who did the work, who had the oversight of the LORD’s house; and they paid it out to the carpenters and the builders who worked on the LORD’s house,
Soki bayebi motuya na yango, bazalaki kopesa mbongo yango epai ya bato oyo bazalaki kosalisa misala kati na Ndako ya Nzambe. Na mbongo yango, bazalaki kofuta bato oyo bazalaki kosala kati na Tempelo ya Yawe: basharipantie,
12 and to the masons and the stone cutters, and for buying timber and cut stone to repair the damage to the LORD’s house, and for all that was laid out for the house to repair it.
batongi ndako mpe bato oyo bakataka mabanga. Bazalaki kosomba mpo na kobongisa Ndako ya Nzambe: mabaya mpe mabanga bakata. Bazalaki mpe kobimisa mbongo mpo na misala mosusu ya kobongisa Tempelo ya Yawe.
13 But there were not made for the LORD’s house cups of silver, snuffers, basins, trumpets, any vessels of gold or vessels of silver, of the money that was brought into the LORD’s house;
Kasi bazalaki kobimisa te mbongo oyo bazalaki komema na Ndako ya Nzambe, mpo na kosalela basani ya minene ya palata, bambeli, basani oyo babwakelaka na yango mayi, bakelelo mpe biloko mosusu oyo esalemi na wolo to na palata mpo na Tempelo ya Yawe.
14 for they gave that to those who did the work, and repaired the LORD’s house with it.
Mbongo yango ezalaki bobele mpo na kofuta basali oyo bazalaki kobongisa Ndako ya Yawe.
15 Moreover they didn’t demand an accounting from the men into whose hand they delivered the money to give to those who did the work; for they dealt faithfully.
Bazalaki kolandela te mbongo oyo bapesaki na bato mpo na kofuta basali, pamba te bazalaki kosalela yango na bosembo.
16 The money for the trespass offerings and the money for the sin offerings was not brought into the LORD’s house. It was the priests’.
Bazalaki komema te na Tempelo ya Yawe, mbongo oyo ewutaki na makabo ya kimia mpe na mbeka mpo na masumu; yango ezalaki mpo na Banganga-Nzambe.
17 Then Hazael king of Syria went up and fought against Gath, and took it; and Hazael set his face to go up to Jerusalem.
Na tango wana, Azaeli, mokonzi ya Siri, akendeki kobundisa engumba Gati mpe abotolaki yango. Sima, Azaeli abalukaki mpo na kobundisa Yelusalemi.
18 Jehoash king of Judah took all the holy things that Jehoshaphat and Jehoram and Ahaziah, his fathers, kings of Judah, had dedicated, and his own holy things, and all the gold that was found in the treasures of the LORD’s house, and of the king’s house, and sent it to Hazael king of Syria; and he went away from Jerusalem.
Kasi Joasi, mokonzi ya Yuda, azwaki biloko nyonso ya bule oyo bakoko na ye —Jozafati, Yorami mpe Akazia, bakonzi ya Yuda— babulisaki. Joasi azwaki mpe bakado oyo ye moko abulisaki mpe wolo nyonso oyo amonaki kati na bibombelo ya bozwi ya Tempelo ya Yawe mpe na ndako ya mokonzi. Atindaki yango epai ya Azaeli, mokonzi ya Siri. Sima na yango, Azaeli akendeki mosika ya Yelusalemi.
19 Now the rest of the acts of Joash, and all that he did, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
Makambo mosusu oyo etali bokonzi ya Joasi mpe misala na ye nyonso, ekomama kati na buku ya masolo ya bakonzi ya Yuda.
20 His servants arose and made a conspiracy, and struck Joash at the house of Millo, on the way that goes down to Silla.
Basali na ye batombokelaki ye mpe basalelaki ye likita. Babomaki Joasi, na Beti-Milo, na nzela oyo ekenda na Sila.
21 For Jozacar the son of Shimeath, and Jehozabad the son of Shomer, his servants, struck him, and he died; and they buried him with his fathers in David’s city; and Amaziah his son reigned in his place.
Tala bakombo ya basali oyo babomaki Joasi: Yozabadi, mwana mobali ya Shimeati, mpe Yeozabadi, mwana mobali ya Shomeri. Joasi akufaki mpe bakundaki ye esika moko na bakoko na ye kati na engumba ya Davidi. Amatsia, mwana na ye ya mobali, akitanaki na ye na bokonzi.
