1 Bakonzi 12
1 Roboami akendeki na Sishemi epai wapi lisanga mobimba ya Isalaele esanganaki mpo na kokomisa ye mokonzi.
And king Roboam goes to Sikima; for all Israel were coming to Sikima to make him king.
2 Kasi sima na Jeroboami, mwana mobali ya Nebati, koyoka sango yango wuta na Ejipito epai wapi akendeki kobombama mpo na kokima mokonzi Salomo, azongaki wuta na Ejipito.
3 Boye, batindaki bato kobenga Jeroboami; bongo ye elongo na lisanga mobimba ya Isalaele bakendeki epai ya Roboami mpe balobaki na ye:
And the people spoke to king Roboam, saying, Your father made our yoke heavy;
4 — Tata na yo anyokolaki biso makasi; kasi sik’oyo, yo, lembisa misala makasi mpe mikumba oyo tata na yo atia na mito na biso; bongo biso, tokosalela yo.
but do you now lighten somewhat of the hard service of your father, and of his heavy yoke which he put upon us, and we will serve you.
5 Roboami azongisaki: — Bokende epai na bino, bopesa ngai mikolo misato mpo na koyekola likambo yango, bongo bozongela ngai. Mpe bato bakendeki.
And he said to them, Depart for three days, and return to me. And they departed.
6 Mokonzi Roboami atunaki toli epai ya bampaka oyo basalaki elongo na Salomo, tata na ye, tango azalaki nanu na bomoi. Alobaki na bango: — Toli nini bozali kopesa ngai lokola eyano ya kopesa epai ya bato oyo?
And the king referred [the matter] to the elders, who stood before Solomon his father while he was yet living, saying, How do you advise that I should answer this people?
7 Bazongiselaki ye: — Soki, na mokolo ya lelo, omikomisi mosali ya bato oyo, soki osaleli bango mpe opesi bango eyano ya malamu, bakozala tango nyonso basali na yo.
And they spoke to him, saying, If you will this day be a servant to this people, and will serve them, and will speak to them good words, then will they be your servants continually.
8 Kasi Roboami aboyaki toli oyo bampaka bapesaki ye; asengaki toli epai ya bilenge mibali oyo bakolaki esika moko na ye mpe bazalaki kosalela ye.
But he forsook the counsel of the old men which they gave him, and consulted with the young men who were brought up with him, who stood in his presence.
9 Atunaki bango: — Toli nini bozali kopesa lokola eyano ya kopesa epai ya bato oyo balobi na ngai: « Lembisa misala makasi mpe mikumba oyo tata na yo atia na mito na biso? »
And he said to them, What counsel do you give? And what shall I answer to this people who speak to me, saying, Lighten somewhat of the yoke which your father has put upon us?
10 Bilenge mibali oyo bakolaki esika moko na ye bazongisaki: — Tala makambo oyo okoyebisa bato oyo balobi na yo: « Tata na yo anyokolaki biso na misala makasi; kasi yo, lembisela biso yango! » Yebisa bango: « Mosapi na ngai ya moke eleki loketo ya tata na ngai na monene;
And the young men who had been brought up with him, who stood before his face, spoke to him, saying, Thus shall you say to this people who have spoken to you, saying, Your father made our yoke heavy, and do you now lighten it from off us: thus shall say to them, My little [finger shall be] thicker than my father's loins.
11 soki tata na ngai anyokolaki bino na misala makasi, ngai, nakoyeisa yango lisusu makasi koleka; soki tata na ngai azalaki kobeta bino fimbu ya poso ya nyama, ngai nakobeta bino fimbu ya ebende. »
And whereas my father did lade you with a heavy yoke, I also will add to your yoke: my father chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions.
12 Sima na mikolo misato, Jeroboami elongo na bato nyonso bazongaki epai ya Roboami, ndenge mokonzi ayebisaki bango: « Bozongela ngai sima na mikolo misato. »
And all Israel came to king Roboam on the third day, as the king spoke to them, saying, Return to me on the third day.
13 Mokonzi Roboami aboyaki kosalela toli oyo bampaka bapesaki ye, ayanolaki bato na maloba mabe makasi;
And the king answered the people harshly; and Roboam forsook the counsel of the old men which they counselled him.
14 alandaki toli ya bilenge mibali mpe ayebisaki bango: Soki tata na ngai anyokolaki bino na misala makasi, ngai nakoyeisa yango lisusu makasi koleka; soki tata na ngai azalaki kobeta bino fimbu ya poso ya nyama, ngai nakobeta bino fimbu ya ebende.
And he spoke to them according to the counsel of the young men, saying, My father made your yoke heavy, and I will add to your yoke: my father chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions.
15 Mokonzi aboyaki koyoka bato, pamba te ezalaki Yawe nde asalaki bongo mpo na kokokisa liloba oyo Yawe ayebisaki Jeroboami, mwana mobali ya Nebati, na nzela ya mosakoli Ayiya, moto ya Silo.
And the king listened not to the people, because the change was from the Lord, that he might establish his word which he spoke by Achia the Selonite concerning Jeroboam the son of Nabat.
16 Tango bana nyonso ya Isalaele bamonaki ete mokonzi aboyi koyoka bango, bazongiselaki ye: « Eloko nini ya lisanga tozali na yango na Davidi? Tozali na eloko moko te ya lisanga na mwana mobali ya Izayi! Isalaele, tika ete moto na moto azonga na ndako na ye ya kapo! Mpe yo, mokitani ya Davidi, tikala kotala makambo ya ndako na yo! » Boye, bana ya Isalaele bazongaki na bandako na bango ya kapo.
And all Israel saw that the king did not listen to them: and the people answered the king, saying, What portion have we in David? neither have we any inheritance in the son of Jessae. Depart, O Israel, to your tents: now feed your own house, David. So Israel departed to his tents.
17 Roboami akobaki kokonza bana ya Isalaele oyo bazalaki kovanda na bingumba ya Yuda.
18 Mokonzi Roboami atindaki Adorami oyo azalaki motambolisi misala makasi, kasi bana nyonso ya Isalaele babambaki ye mabanga mpe akufaki. Nzokande, mokonzi Roboami alongaki komata na shar na ye mpo na kokima na Yelusalemi.
And the king sent Adoniram who was over the tribute; and they stoned him with stones, and he died: and king Roboam made haste to rise to flee to Jerusalem.
19 Ezali boye nde bana ya Isalaele batombokelaki ndako ya Davidi kino na mokolo ya lelo.
So Israel rebelled against the house of David until this day.
20 Tango bana nyonso ya Isalaele bayokaki ete Jeroboami azongi, batindaki bato kobenga ye ete aya na mayangani, mpe bakomisaki ye mokonzi ya Isalaele mobimba. Kaka libota ya Yuda nde etikalaki kotosa bokonzi ya ndako ya Davidi.
And it came to pass when all Israel heard that Jeroboam had returned out of Egypt, that they sent and called him to the assembly, and they made him king over Israel: and none followed the house of David except the tribe of Juda and Benjamin only.
21 Tango Roboami azongaki na Yelusalemi, asangisaki libota nyonso ya Yuda mpe libota ya Benjame, aponaki kati na bango bilombe ya bitumba nkoto nkama moko na tuku mwambe mpo na kobundisa ndako ya Isalaele mpe kozongisa bokonzi na maboko ya Roboami, mwana mobali ya Salomo.
And Roboam went into Jerusalem, and he assembled the congregation of Juda, and the tribe of Benjamin, a hundred and twenty thousand young men, warriors, to fight against the house of Israel, to recover the kingdom to Roboam the son of Solomon.
22 Kasi Nzambe alobaki na Shemaya, moto na Nzambe:
And the word of the Lord came to Samaia the man of God, saying,
23 « Yebisa Roboami, mwana mobali ya Salomo, mokonzi ya Yuda; mpe bana nyonso ya Yuda, ya Benjame mpe ba-oyo batikali:
Speak to Roboam the son of Solomon, king of Juda, and to all the house of Juda and Benjamin, and to the remnant of the people, saying,
24 ‹ Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: Bokende te kobundisa bandeko na bino, bato ya Isalaele! Tika ete moto moko na moko azonga na ndako na ye, pamba te Ngai moko nde nasali makambo nyonso oyo eleki. › » Batosaki Liloba na Yawe mpe bazongaki na bandako na bango mpo na kotosa mitindo ya Yawe.
Thus says the Lord, You shall not go up, neither shall you fight with your brethren the sons of Israel: return each man to his own home; for this thing is from me; and they listened to the word of the Lord, and they ceased from going up, according to the word of the Lord.
25 Jeroboami atongaki engumba Sishemi, kati na etuka ya bangomba ya Efrayimi, mpe avandaki kuna. Longwa na Sishemi, abimaki mpe akendeki kotonga Penueli.
And Jeroboam built Sikima in mount Ephraim and lived in it, and went forth thence and built Phanuel.
26 Jeroboami amilobelaki: « Ndenge makambo ezali kotambola, bokonzi ekoki kozonga na ndako ya Davidi.
And Jeroboam said in his heart, Behold, now the kingdom will return to the house of David.
27 Soki bato oyo bamati na Yelusalemi mpo na kobonza mbeka na Tempelo ya Yawe, bakopesa lisusu mitema na bango epai ya nkolo na bango, Roboami, mokonzi ya Yuda. Bakoboma ngai mpe bakozonga epai ya mokonzi Roboami. »
If this people shall go up to offer sacrifice in the house of the Lord at Jerusalem, then the heart of the people will return to the Lord, and to their master, to Roboam king of Juda, and they will kill me.
28 Sima na ye koluka toli, mokonzi asalaki bikeko mibale ya bana ngombe ya wolo. Alobaki na bato: — Oh Isalaele, bokeyi mpe mingi na Yelusalemi! Botala banzambe na bino oyo babimisaki bino na Ejipito.
And the king took counsel, and went, and made two golden heifers, and said to the people, Let it suffice you to have gone [hitherto] to Jerusalem: behold your gods, O Israel, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt.
29 Jeroboami atiaki ekeko moko na Beteli mpe mosusu na Dani.
And he put one in Bethel, and he put the other in Dan.
30 Bongo likambo oyo ememaki bato na lisumu, pamba te bamoko bazalaki kokende kogumbamela ekeko oyo ezalaki na Beteli, mpe bamosusu bazalaki kokende mosika kino na Dani mpo na kogumbamela ekeko mosusu.
And this thing became a sin; and the people went before one as far as Dan, and left the house of the Lord.
31 Jeroboami atongaki bisambelo ya likolo ya bangomba mpe atiaki banganga-nzambe oyo bazalaki ata te bato ya libota ya Levi.
And he made houses on the high places, and made priests of any part of the people, who were not of the sons of Levi.
32 Jeroboami akataki ete basalaka feti mibu nyonso na mokolo ya zomi na mitano ya sanza ya mwambe ndenge basalaka na mokili ya Yuda, mpe abonzaki mbeka na etumbelo. Asalaki ndenge wana na Beteli epai wapi abonzaki mbeka epai ya banzambe ya bikeko ya bana ngombe oyo asalaki, mpe atiaki banganga-nzambe na bisambelo oyo abongisaki na likolo ya bangomba.
And Jeroboam appointed a feast in the eighth month, on the fifteenth day of the month, according to the feast in the land of Juda;
33 Na mokolo ya zomi na mitano ya sanza ya mwambe, sanza oyo aponaki na ndenge na ye moko, abonzaki mbeka na etumbelo oyo atongaki na Beteli. Akataki ete basalaka feti mibu nyonso mpo na bana ya Isalaele mpe amataki na etumbelo mpo na kotumba ansa.
and went up to the altar which he made in Baethel to sacrifice to the heifers which he made, and he placed in Baethel the priests of the high places which he had made. And he went up to the altar which he had made, on the fifteenth day in the eighth month, at the feast which he devised out of his own heart; and he made a feast to the children of Israel, and went up to the altar to sacrifice.
