< 2 Kings 12 >
1 In the seventh year of Jehu reigned hath Jehoash, and forty years he hath reigned in Jerusalem, and the name of his mother [is] Zibiah of Beer-Sheba,
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 and Jehoash doth that which is right in the eyes of Jehovah all his days in which Jehoiada the priest directed him,
Joasi asalaki makambo ya malamu na miso ya Yawe na mikolo nyonso oyo Nganga-Nzambe Yeoyada azalaki koteya ye.
3 only, the high places have not turned aside, still are the people sacrificing and making perfume in high places.
Nzokande, balongolaki te bisambelo ya likolo ya bangomba; bato bakobaki kaka kobonza kuna bambeka mpe kotumba ansa.
4 And Jehoash saith unto the priests, 'All the money of the sanctified things that is brought in to the house of Jehovah, the money of him who is passing over, each the money of his valuation, all the money that it goeth up on the heart of a man to bring in to the house of Jehovah,
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 do the priests take to them, each from his acquaintance, and they strengthen the breach of the house, in all [places] where there is found a breach.'
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 And it cometh to pass, in the twenty and third year of king Jehoash, the priests have not strengthened the breach of the house,
Kasi tango mokonzi Joasi akokisaki mibu pene tuku mibale na misato na bokonzi, Banganga-Nzambe babongisaki nanu Ndako ya Nzambe te.
7 and king Jehoash calleth to Jehoiada the priest, and to the priests, and saith unto them, 'Wherefore are ye not strengthening the breach of the house? and now, receive no money from your acquaintances, but for the breach of the house give it.'
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 And the priests consent not to receive money from the people, nor to strengthen the breach of the house,
Banganga-Nzambe bandimaki kotika kokongola mbongo na maboko ya bato mpe kotika kobongisa Ndako ya Nzambe.
9 and Jehoiada the priest taketh a chest, and pierceth a hole in its lid, and putteth it near the altar, on the right side, as one cometh in to the house of Jehovah, and the priests keeping the threshold have put there all the money that is brought in to the house of Jehovah.
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 And it cometh to pass, at their seeing that the money [is] abundant in the chest, that there goeth up a scribe of the king, and of the high priest, and they bind [it] up, and count the money that is found [in] the house of Jehovah,
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 and have given the weighed money into the hands of those doing the work, those inspecting the house of Jehovah, and they bring it out to those working in the wood, and to builders who are working in the house of Jehovah,
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 those [repairing] the wall, and to hewers of stone, and to buy wood and hewn stones to strengthen the breach of the house of Jehovah, and for all that goeth out on the house, to strengthen 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 Only, there is not made for the house of Jehovah basins of silver, snuffers, bowls, trumpets, any vessel of gold, and vessel of silver, out of the money that is brought into the house of Jehovah;
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 to those doing the work they give it, and they have strengthened with it the house of Jehovah,
Mbongo yango ezalaki bobele mpo na kofuta basali oyo bazalaki kobongisa Ndako ya Yawe.
15 and they do not reckon with the men into whose hand they give the money to give to those doing the work, for in faithfulness they are dealing.
Bazalaki kolandela te mbongo oyo bapesaki na bato mpo na kofuta basali, pamba te bazalaki kosalela yango na bosembo.
16 The money of a trespass-offering, and the money of sin-offerings is not brought in to the house of Jehovah — for the priests it is.
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 go up doth Hazael king of Aram, and fighteth against Gath, and captureth it, and Hazael setteth his face to go up against Jerusalem;
Na tango wana, Azaeli, mokonzi ya Siri, akendeki kobundisa engumba Gati mpe abotolaki yango. Sima, Azaeli abalukaki mpo na kobundisa Yelusalemi.
18 and Jehoash king of Judah taketh all the sanctified things that Jehoshaphat, and Jehoram, and Ahaziah, his fathers, kings of Judah, had sanctified, and his own sanctified things, and all the gold that is found in the treasures of the house of Jehovah and of the house of the king, and sendeth to Hazael king of Aram, and he goeth up from off 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 And the rest of the matters of Joash, and all that he did, are they not written on 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 And his servants rise, and make a conspiracy, and smite Joash in the house of Millo, that is going down to Silla:
Basali na ye batombokelaki ye mpe basalelaki ye likita. Babomaki Joasi, na Beti-Milo, na nzela oyo ekenda na Sila.
21 yea, Jozachar son of Shimeath, and Jehozabad son of Shemer, his servants, have smitten him, and he dieth, and they bury him with his fathers in the city of David, and reign doth Amaziah his son, in his stead.
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.
