< 2 Chronicles 19 >
1 Forsothe Josaphat, kyng of Juda, turnede ayen pesibli in to his hows in to Jerusalem.
Tango Jozafati, mokonzi ya Yuda, azongaki mobimba na ndako na ye na Yelusalemi,
2 Whom the profete Hieu, the sone of Ananye, mette, and seide to hym, Thou yyuest help to a wickid man, and thou art ioyned bi frendschip to hem that haten the Lord; and therfor sotheli thou deseruedist the wraththe of the Lord;
mosakoli Jewu, mwana mobali ya Anani, akendeki kokutana na ye. Alobaki na mokonzi Jozafati: « Mpo na nini kosunga moto mabe mpe kolinga bato oyo bayinaka Yawe? Mpo ete osali bongo, kanda makasi ya Yawe ezali likolo na yo.
3 but good werkis ben foundyn in thee, for thou didist awey wodis fro the lond of Juda, and thou hast maad redi thin herte, for to seke the Lord God of thi fadris.
Kasi atako bongo, makambo malamu emonani kati na yo, pamba te olongolaki makonzi ya nzambe Ashera mpe obongisaki motema na yo mpo na koluka Nzambe. »
4 Therfor Josaphat dwellide in Jerusalem; and eft he yede out to the puple fro Bersabee til to the hil of Effraym, and he clepide hem ayen to the Lord God of her fadris.
Jozafati avandaki na Yelusalemi mpe atambolaki lisusu kati na bato longwa na Beri-Sheba kino na etuka ya bangomba ya Efrayimi, mpe azongisaki bana ya Isalaele epai na Yawe, Nzambe ya bakoko na bango.
5 And he ordeynede iugis of the lond in alle the strengthid citees of Juda, bi ech place.
Atiaki basambisi kati na mokili, kati na bingumba nyonso ya Yuda, oyo batonga makasi.
6 And he comaundide to the iugis, and seide, Se ye, what ye doen; for ye vsen not the doom of man, but of the Lord; and what euere thing ye demen, schal turne `in to you;
Alobaki na bango: « Bozala na bokebi na mosala oyo bokosala, pamba te bokosambisa te mpo na bato, kasi mpo na Yawe oyo azali elongo na bino na bisika nyonso oyo bokokata makambo.
7 the drede of the Lord be with you, and do ye alle thingis with diligence; for anentis `youre Lord God is no wickidnesse, nether takynge of persoones, nether coueitise of yiftis.
Sik’oyo, tika botosi ya Yawe ezala kati na bino. Bokata makambo na bosolo; pamba te epai na Yawe, Nzambe na biso, makambo oyo ezalaka te: kozanga bosembo, kopona bilongi mpe kanyaka. »
8 Also in Jerusalem Josaphat ordeynede dekenes, and preestis, and the princes of meynees of Israel, that thei schulden deme the doom and cause of the Lord to the dwellers of it.
Kati na Yelusalemi, Jozafati aponaki Balevi, Banganga-Nzambe mpe bakambi ya mabota ya Isalaele mpo na kosambisa kolanda Mibeko ya Yawe mpe kokata makambo ya bavandi ya Yelusalemi.
9 And he comaundide to hem, and seide, Thus ye schulen do in the drede of the Lord, feithfuli and in perfite herte.
Apesaki bango mitindo oyo: « Bosengeli kosala na boyengebene, na motema mobimba mpe na botosi epai na Yawe.
10 Ech cause that cometh to you of youre britheren, that dwellen in her citees, bitwixe kynrede and kynrede, where euere is questioun of the lawe, of `the comaundement, of cerymonyes, `ether sacrifices, of iustifyingis, schewe ye to hem, that thei do not synne ayens the Lord, and that wraththe com not on you and on youre britheren. Therfor ye doynge thus schulen not do synne.
Tango nyonso likambo ekowuta epai na bandeko na bino oyo bavandaka na engumba mpe ekokoma liboso na bino, ezala ya koboma to ya kobuka mibeko, mitindo, bikateli to malako, bosengeli kokebisa bango ete basala masumu te liboso ya Yawe; soki te, kanda na Ye ekokweyela bino mpe bandeko na bino. Bosala bongo mpe bokozala na pamela te.
11 Forsothe Amarie, youre preest and bischop, schal be souereyn in these thingis, that perteynen to God. Sotheli Zabadie, the sone of Ismael, which is duyk in the hows of Juda, schal be on tho werkis that perteynen to the office of the kyng, and ye han maistris dekenes bifor you; be ye coumfortid, and do ye diligentli, and the Lord schal be with you in goodis.
Amaria, mokonzi ya Banganga-Nzambe, akozala mokambi na bino mpo na makambo nyonso oyo etali Yawe; mpe Zebadia, mwana mobali ya Isimaeli, mokonzi ya libota ya Yuda, akozala mokambi na bino mpo na makambo nyonso oyo etali mokonzi. Balevi bakozala lokola bakalaka liboso na bino. Bozala na mpiko mpe bosala mosala! Mpe tika ete Yawe azala elongo na bato oyo bakosala malamu! »
