2 Chronicles 13
1 In the eighteenth year of king Jeroboam — Abijah reigneth over Judah;
Tango Jeroboami akokisaki mibu zomi na mwambe na bokonzi, Abiya akomaki mokonzi ya Yuda
2 three years he hath reigned in Jerusalem, (and the name of his mother [is] Michaiah daughter of Uriel, from Gibeah, ) and war hath been between Abijah and Jeroboam.
mpe akonzaki mibu misato na Yelusalemi. Kombo ya mama na ye ezalaki « Mikaya. » Mikaya azalaki mwana ya Urieli, moto ya Gibea. Ezalaki na etumba kati na Abiya mpe Jeroboami.
3 And Abijah directeth the war with a force of mighty men of war, four hundred thousand chosen men, and Jeroboam hath set in array with him battle, with eight hundred thousand chosen men, mighty of valour.
Bongo kati na mampinga na bango, emonanaki ete Abiya azalaki na bilombe ya bitumba nkoto nkama minei, mpe Jeroboami, nkoto nkama mwambe.
4 And Abijah riseth up on the hill of Zemaraim that [is] in the hill-country of Ephraim, and saith, 'Hear me, Jeroboam and all Israel!
Abiya atelemaki na likolo ya ngomba Tsemarayimi oyo ezali kati na etuka ya bangomba ya Efrayimi, mpe alobaki: « Jeroboami mpe Isalaele, boyoka ngai malamu!
5 Is it not for you to know that Jehovah, God of Israel, hath given the kingdom to David over Israel to the age, to him and to his sons — a covenant of salt?
Boyebi te ete Yawe, Nzambe ya Isalaele, apesa mpo na libela bokonzi ya Isalaele epai ya Davidi mpe bana na ye na nzela ya boyokani oyo ekoki kobongwana te?
6 and rise up doth Jeroboam, son of Nebat, servant of Solomon son of David, and rebelleth against his lord!
Kasi Jeroboami, mwana mobali ya Nebati, mosali ya Salomo, mwana mobali ya Davidi, atelemaki mpo na kotombokela mokonzi na ye.
7 'And there are gathered unto him vain men, sons of worthlessness, and they strengthen themselves against Rehoboam son of Solomon, and Rehoboam was a youth, and tender of heart, and hath not strengthened himself against them.
Bato pamba mpe bato oyo bazanga tina basanganaki elongo na ye mpe batombokelaki Roboami, mwana mobali ya Salomo, tango azalaki elenge! Bongo lokola akembaki nanu te na mosala, alongaki mpe te kotelema liboso na bango.
8 'And now, ye are saying to strengthen yourselves before the kingdom of Jehovah in the hand of the sons of David, and ye [are] a numerous multitude, and with you calves of gold that Jeroboam hath made to you for gods.
Mpe sik’oyo, bokani kotelemela bokonzi ya Yawe, oyo ezali na maboko ya bana ya Davidi! Bobongisi mampinga minene mpe bozali, kati na bino, na bikeko ya bana ngombe oyo Jeroboami asalelaki bino lokola banzambe.
9 'Have ye not cast out the priests of Jehovah, the sons of Aaron, and the Levites, and make to you priests like the peoples of the lands? every one who hath come to fill his hand with a bullock, a son of the herd, and seven rams, even he hath been a priest to No-gods!
Boni, bobenganaki te Banganga-Nzambe ya Yawe, bana mibali ya Aron, mpe Balevi? Bomikomisaki te banganga-nzambe ya banzambe ya bikeko ndenge bato ya bikolo mosusu basalaka? Moto na moto azalaki koya na ngombe moko ya mobali mpe bameme sambo ya mibali oyo azalaki kozwa na etonga na ye, mpo ete bakomisa ye nganga-nzambe ya oyo ezali kutu banzambe te.
10 'As for us, Jehovah [is] our God, and we have not forsaken Him, and priests are ministering to Jehovah, sons of Aaron and the Levites, in the work,
Nzokande epai na biso, Yawe nde azali Nzambe na biso, mpe tosundola Ye te; bana mibali ya Aron nde bazali Banganga-Nzambe oyo basalelaka Ye, mpe Balevi basungaka bango.
11 and are making perfume to Jehovah, burnt-offerings morning by morning, and evening by evening, and perfume of spices, and the arrangement of bread [is] on the pure table, and the candlestick of gold, and its lamps, to burn evening by evening, for we are keeping the charge of Jehovah our God, and ye — ye have forsaken Him.
Tongo mpe pokwa nyonso, tobonzelaka Yawe bambeka ya kotumba mpe ya malasi, totandaka mapa likolo ya mesa ya bule; mpe pokwa nyonso, topelisaka minda ya etelemiselo ya minda, pamba te biso totosaka mitindo ya Yawe, Nzambe na biso; kasi bino, bosundolaki Ye.
12 'And lo, with us — at [our] head — [is] God, and His priests and trumpets of shouting to shout against you; O sons of Israel, do not fight with Jehovah, God of your fathers, for ye do not prosper.'
Tala, Nzambe azali elongo na biso lokola Motambolisi; Banganga-Nzambe na Ye bakobeta kelelo na lokito makasi mpo na kotelemela bino. Bana ya Isalaele, bobundisa te Yawe, Nzambe ya batata na bino, pamba te bokolonga ata moke te. »
13 And Jeroboam hath brought round the ambush to come in from behind them, and they are before Judah, and the ambush [is] behind them.
Na tango wana, Jeroboami atindaki limpinga moko ya basoda mpo ete babombama na sima ya basoda ya Yuda. Boye, basoda ya Yuda bazwamaki lokola na motambo: liboso na bango, ezalaki na mampinga ya Isalaele; mpe sima na bango, basoda oyo babombamaki.
14 And Judah turneth, and lo, against them [is] the battle, before and behind, and they cry to Jehovah, and the priests are blowing with trumpets,
Mpe wana basoda ya Yuda babalukaki, basosolaki ete babundisami na liboso mpe na sima na mbala moko. Boye, bagangaki epai na Yawe, mpe Banganga-Nzambe babetaki kelelo.
15 and the men of Judah shout — and it cometh to pass, at the shouting of the men of Judah, that God hath smitten Jeroboam, and all Israel, before Abijah and Judah.
Basoda ya Yuda babetaki lokito ya bitumba; mpe na lokito na bango, Yawe Nzambe akweyisaki Jeroboami mpe Isalaele nyonso liboso ya Abiya mpe ya Yuda.
16 And the sons of Israel flee from the face of Judah, and God giveth them into their hand,
Basoda ya Isalaele bakimaki liboso ya basoda ya Yuda, mpe Nzambe akabaki bango na maboko ya basoda ya Yuda.
17 and Abijah and his people smite among them a great smiting, and there fall wounded of Israel five hundred thousand chosen men.
Abiya mpe mampinga na ye bazwaki elonga monene liboso ya mampinga ya Isalaele mpe babomaki bilombe ya Isalaele pene nkoto nkama mitano.
18 And the sons of Israel are humbled at that time, and the sons of Judah are strong, for they have leant on Jehovah, God of their fathers.
Na tango wana, basoda ya Isalaele basambwaki; kasi ba-oyo ya Yuda bazwaki elonga, pamba te batiaki elikya na Yawe, Nzambe ya batata na bango.
19 And Abijah pursueth after Jeroboam, and captureth from him cities, Beth-El and its small towns, and Jeshanah and its small towns, and Ephraim and its small towns.
Abiya alandaki Jeroboami mpe abotolaki ye bingumba ebele: Beteli, Yeshana mpe Efroni elongo na bamboka na yango ya zingazinga.
20 And Jeroboam hath not retained power any more in the days of Abijah, and Jehovah smiteth him, and he dieth.
Na mikolo nyonso oyo Abiya azalaki na bokonzi, Jeroboami azongelaki te nguya na ye ya kala. Yawe abetaki ye mpe akufaki.
21 And Abijah strengtheneth himself, and taketh to him fourteen wives, and begetteth twenty and two sons, and sixteen daughters,
Nzokande, Abiya alendisaki bokonzi na ye. Abalaki basi zomi na minei mpe abotaki bana mibali tuku mibale na mibale mpe bana basi zomi na motoba.
22 and the rest of the matters of Abijah, and his ways, and his words, are written in the 'Inquiry' of the prophet Iddo.
Makambo mpe misala mosusu ya Abiya, etamboli mpe maloba na ye, ekomama kati na buku ya masolo ya momoni makambo Ido.
