1 Bakonzi 14
1 Na tango wana kaka, Abiya, mwana mobali ya Jeroboami, akomaki kobela.
At that time Abia the son of Jeroboam fell sick.
2 Jeroboami alobaki na mwasi na ye: — Mibongola mpo ete bato bayeba te ete ozali mwasi ya mokonzi Jeroboami; bongo, kende na Silo. Mosakoli Ayiya azali kuna; ye nde alobaki na ngai ete nakozala mokonzi ya bato oyo.
And Jeroboam said to his wife: Arise, and change thy dress, that thou be not known to be the wife of Jeroboam, and go to Silo, where Ahias the prophet is, who told me, that I should reign over this people.
3 Kamata mapa zomi, ndambo ya bagato, na ekolo ya mafuta ya nzoyi, mpe kende kokutana na ye; akoyebisa yo makambo oyo ekokomela mwana na biso ya mobali.
Take also with thee ten leaves, and cracknels, and a pot of honey, and go to him: for he will tell thee what shall become of this child.
4 Mwasi ya Jeroboami asalaki makambo oyo mobali na ye atindaki ye: akendeki na Silo mpe akotaki na ndako ya Ayiya. Nzokande, Ayiya azalaki komona lisusu te, pamba te miso na ye ekufaki mpo ete akomaki mobange.
Jeroboam’s wife did as he told her: and rising up went to Silo, and came to the house of Ahias: but he could not see, for his eyes were dim by reason of his age.
5 Yawe alobaki na Ayiya: — Mwasi ya Jeroboami azali koya kotuna yo toli mpo na mwana na ye ya mobali, pamba te azali kobela. Osengeli kopesa ye eyano songolo to pakala. Tango akoya, akosala lokola nde azali moto mosusu.
And the Lord said to Ahias: Behold the wife of Jeroboam cometh in, to consult thee concerning her son that is sick: thus and thus shalt thou speak to her. So when she was coming in, and made as if she were another woman,
6 Tango Ayiya ayokaki makelele ya makolo ya mwasi ya Jeroboami na ekuke, alobaki: — Kota, mwasi ya Jeroboami! Mpo na nini ozali komibongola? Natindami epai na yo mpo na koyebisa yo sango mabe.
Ahias heard the sound of her feet coming in at the door, and said: Come in, thou wife of Jeroboam: why dost thou feign thyself to be another? But I am sent to thee with heavy tidings.
7 Kende koloba na Jeroboami: « Yawe, Nzambe ya Isalaele, alobi: ‹ Natombolaki yo kati na bato mpe nakomisaki yo mokambi ya bato na Ngai, Isalaele.
Go, and tell Jeroboam: Thus saith the Lord the God of Israel: Forasmuch as I exalted thee from among the people, and made thee prince over my people Israel:
8 Nalongolaki bokonzi na maboko ya ndako ya Davidi mpe napesaki yo yango, kasi otambolaki te lokola Davidi, mowumbu na Ngai, oyo atosaki mibeko na Ngai mpe azalaki kolanda Ngai na motema na ye mobimba, mpo na kosala oyo kaka ezali malamu na miso na Ngai.
And rent the kingdom away from the house of David, and gave it to thee, and thou hast not been as my servant David, who kept my commandments, and followed me with all his heart, doing that which was well pleasing in my sight:
9 Kasi yo, osali mabe koleka bato nyonso oyo bazalaki liboso na yo: omisaleli banzambe mosusu, bikeko ya bibende banyangwisa na moto; boye, olamusi kanda na Ngai mpe opesi Ngai mokongo.
But hast done evil above all that were before thee, and hast made thee strange gods and molten gods, to provoke me to anger, and hast cast me behind thy back:
10 Yango wana, nakoyeisa pasi na ndako ya Jeroboami, nakosilisa koboma mibali nyonso kati na ndako ya Jeroboami, ezala mowumbu to monsomi kati na Isalaele; nakokomba ndako ya Jeroboami ndenge bakombaka matiti ya mbindo, kino nyonso penza ekosila.
Therefore behold I will bring evils upon the house of Jeroboam, and will cut of from Jeroboam him that pisseth against the wall, and him that is shut up, and the last in Israel: and I will sweep away the remnant of the house of Jeroboam, as dung is swept away till all be clean.
11 Bambwa ekolia bato nyonso ya Jeroboami, oyo bakokufa kati na engumba; mpe bandeke ya likolo ekolia bato nyonso oyo bakokufa na zamba, elobi Yawe. › »
Them that shall die of Jeroboam in the city, the dogs shall eat: and them that shall die in the field, the birds of the air shall devour: for the Lord hath spoken it.
12 Mpo na yo, telema mpe zonga na ndako na yo. Tango kaka okotia makolo na yo kati na engumba na yo, mwana na yo ya mobali akokufa.
Arise thou therefore, and go to thy house: and when thy feet shall be entering into the city, the child shall die,
13 Bato nyonso ya Isalaele bakosalela ye matanga mpe bakokunda ye. Ye moko kaka, kati na ndako ya Jeroboami, nde bakokunda; pamba te kati na ndako mobimba ya Jeroboami, ye kaka nde Nzambe amoni na eloko ya malamu oyo esepelisi Yawe, Nzambe ya Isalaele.
And all Israel shall mourn for him, and shall bury him: for he only of Jeroboam shall be laid in a sepulchre, because in his regard there is found a good word from the Lord the God of Israel, in the house of Jeroboam.
14 Yawe akobimisa mpo na Ye moko, mokonzi mosusu ya Isalaele oyo akosilisa koboma ndako nyonso ya Jeroboami. Solo, ezali nde mpo na lelo, kaka sik’oyo!
And the Lord hath appointed himself a king over Israel, who shall cut off the house of Jeroboam in this day, and in this time:
15 Yawe akobeta Isalaele, mpe Isalaele akoningana lokola nzete oyo ebotaka na mayi, oyo mayi ezali koningisa; akopikola Isalaele wuta na mabele ya malamu oyo apesaki na bakoko na ye mpe akopanza bango mosika ya ebale Efrate, pamba te balamusi kanda ya Yawe na kosalaka makonzi ya bule mpo na Ashera.
And the Lord God shall strike Israel as a reed is shaken in the water: and he shall root up Israel out of this good land, which he gave to their fathers, and shall scatter them beyond the river: because they have made to themselves groves, to provoke the Lord.
16 Akokaba Isalaele mpo na masumu oyo Jeroboami asali mpe asalisi Isalaele.
And the Lord shall give up Israel for the sins of Jeroboam, who hath sinned, and made Israel to sin.
17 Mwasi ya Jeroboami atelemaki, akendeki mpe akomaki na Tiritsa. Tango akomaki na ekuke ya ndako na ye, mwana na ye ya mobali akufaki.
And the wife of Jeroboam arose, and departed, and came to Thersa: and when she was coming in to the threshold of the house, the child died;
18 Bakundaki ye, mpe Isalaele mobimba basalaki matanga ndenge kaka Yawe alobaki na nzela ya mowumbu na Ye, mosakoli Ayiya.
And they buried him. And all Israel mourned for him according to the word of the Lord, which he spoke by the hand of his servant Ahias the prophet.
19 Misala mosusu ya Jeroboami, bitumba mpe bokonzi na ye ekomama kati na buku ya masolo ya bakonzi ya Isalaele.
And the rest of the acts of Jeroboam, how he fought, and how he reigned, behold they are written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Israel.
20 Jeroboami asalaki mibu tuku mibale na mibale na bokonzi, akendeki kokutana na bakoko na ye, mpe bakundaki ye esika moko na bakoko na ye. Nadabi, mwana na ye ya mobali, akitanaki na ye na bokonzi.
And the days that Jeroboam reigned, were two and twenty years: and he slept with his fathers: and Nadab his son reigned in his stead.
21 Roboami, mwana mobali ya Salomo, akomaki mokonzi ya Yuda; azalaki na mibu tuku minei na moko ya mbotama tango akomaki mokonzi, mpe akonzaki mibu zomi na sambo na Yelusalemi, engumba oyo Yawe aponaki kati na mabota nyonso ya Isalaele mpo na kotia Kombo na Ye. Kombo ya mama na Roboami ezalaki « Naama. » Naama azalaki moto ya Amoni.
And Roboam the son of Solomon reigned in Juda: Roboam was one and forty years old when he began to reign: and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem the city, which the Lord chose out of all the tribes of Israel to put his name there. And his mother’s name wee Naama an Ammonitess.
22 Bato ya Yuda basalaki makambo mabe na miso ya Yawe. Na nzela ya masumu oyo basalaki, balamusaki zuwa ya Nzambe koleka oyo batata na bango basalaki.
And Juda did evil in the sight of the Lord, and provoked him above all that their fathers had done, in their sins which they committed.
23 Batongaki lisusu mpo na bango moko bisambelo ya likolo ya bangomba, mabanga ya bule, makonzi ya bule mpo na Ashera na likolo ya bangomba nyonso mpe na se ya banzete nyonso ya mobesu.
For they also built them altars, and statues, and groves upon every high hill and under every green tree:
24 Ezalaki lisusu na mibali oyo bazalaki komipesa na kindumba ya bule kati na mokili ya Yuda: bamipesaki na kosala makambo ya nkele kolanda bikolo ya bapaya oyo Yawe abenganaki liboso ya bato ya Isalaele.
There were also the effeminate in the land, and they did according to all the abominations of the people whom the Lord had destroyed before the face of the children of Israel.
25 Tango Roboami akokisaki mibu mitano na bokonzi, Shishaki, mokonzi ya Ejipito, ayaki kobundisa Yelusalemi.
And in the fifth year of the reign of Roboam, Sesac king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem.
26 Azwaki bomengo ya Tempelo ya Yawe mpe bomengo ya ndako ya mokonzi. Azwaki penza biloko nyonso, ezala banguba nyonso ya wolo oyo Salomo asalisaki.
And he took away the treasures of the house of the Lord, and the king’s treasures, and carried all off: as also the shields of gold which Solomon had made.
27 Boye, na esika ya banguba ya wolo, mokonzi Roboami asalisaki banguba ya bronze mpe apesaki yango epai ya bakonzi ya bakengeli na ye, oyo bazalaki kobatela ekotelo ya ndako ya mokonzi.
And Roboam made shields of brass instead of them, and delivered them into the. hand of the captains of the shieldbearers, and of them that kept watch before the gate of the king’s house.
28 Tango nyonso mokonzi abandaki kokende na Tempelo ya Yawe, bakengeli bazalaki komema banguba mpe kozongisa yango kati na ndako ya bakengeli.
And when the king went into the house of the Lord, they whose office it was to go before him, carried them: and afterwards they brought them back to the armoury of the shieldbearers.
29 Makambo mosusu oyo etali bokonzi ya Roboami mpe misala na ye ekomama kati na buku ya masolo ya bakonzi ya Yuda.
Now the rest of the sets of Roboam, and all that he did, behold they are written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Juda.
30 Ezalaki tango nyonso na bitumba kati na Roboami mpe Jeroboami.
And there was war between Roboam and Jeroboam always.
31 Roboami akendeki kokutana na bakoko na ye, mpe bakundaki ye esika moko na bakoko na ye kati na engumba ya Davidi. Kombo ya mama na ye ezalaki « Naama. » Naama azalaki moto ya Amoni. Abiyami, mwana na ye ya mobali, akitanaki na ye na bokonzi.
And Roboam slept with his fathers, and was buried with them in the city of David: and his mother’s name was Naama an Ammonitess: and Abiam his son reigned in his stead.
