1 Bakonzi 15

1 Tango Jeroboami, mwana mobali ya Nebati, akokisaki mibu zomi na mwambe na bokonzi, Abiyami akomaki mokonzi ya Yuda.

Then, in the eighteenth year of the reign of Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, Abijam reigned over Judah.

2 Awumelaki mibu misato na bokonzi, na Yelusalemi. Kombo ya mama na ye ezalaki « Maaka. » Maaka azalaki mwana ya Abisalomi.

He reigned for three years in Jerusalem. The name of his mother was Maacah, the daughter of Abishalom.

3 Asalaki masumu nyonso oyo tata na ye asalaki liboso ete Abiyami akoma mokonzi. Apesaki te motema na ye mobimba epai na Yawe, Nzambe na ye, ndenge ezalaki motema ya Davidi, koko na ye.

And he walked in all the sins of his father, which he had done before him. Neither was his heart perfect with the Lord his God, as was the heart of David, his father.

4 Nzokande, mpo na Davidi, Yawe Nzambe na ye, apesaki Abiyami mwinda kati na Yelusalemi, wana atiaki mwana na ye ya mobali mpo na kokitana na ye na bokonzi mpe kokomisa Yelusalemi makasi.

But for the sake of David, the Lord his God gave to him a lamp in Jerusalem, so that he might raise up his son after him, and so that he might establish Jerusalem.

5 Pamba te Davidi asalaki makambo ya malamu na miso ya Yawe mpe abatelaki mibeko ya Yawe mikolo nyonso ya bomoi na ye, longola kaka likambo moko: likambo ya Iri, moto ya Iti.

For David had done what was right in the eyes of the Lord, and he had not declined from all of the things that he had instructed to him, during all the days of his life, except the matter of Uriah, the Hittite.

6 Mikolo nyonso ya bomoi ya Abiyami, ndako ya Roboami ezalaki kaka na bitumba na ndako ya Jeroboami.

Now there was war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam during the entire time of his life.

7 Makambo mosusu oyo etali bokonzi ya Abiyami mpe misala na ye, ekomama kati na buku ya masolo ya bakonzi ya Yuda. Bitumba ezalaki kati na Jeroboami mpe Abiyami.

And the rest of the words of Abijam, and all that he did, were these not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Judah? And there was fighting between Abijam and Jeroboam.

8 Abiyami akendeki kokutana na bakoko na ye, mpe bakundaki ye kati na engumba ya Davidi. Asa, mwana na ye ya mobali, akitanaki na ye na bokonzi.

And Abijam slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of David. And Asa, his son, reigned in his place.

9 Tango Jeroboami, mokonzi ya Isalaele, asalaki mibu tuku mibale na bokonzi, Asa akomaki mokonzi ya Yuda.

Then, in the twentieth year of Jeroboam, the king of Israel, Asa reigned as king of Judah.

10 Asalaki mibu tuku minei na moko na bokonzi, na Yelusalemi. Kombo ya koko na ye ya mwasi ezalaki « Maaka. » Maaka azalaki mwana mwasi ya Abisalomi.

And he reigned for forty-one years in Jerusalem. The name of his mother was Maacah, the daughter of Abishalom.

11 Asa asalaki makambo ya malamu na miso ya Yawe, ndenge Davidi, koko na ye, asalaki.

And Asa did what was right before the sight of the Lord, just as his father David did.

12 Abenganaki wuta na mokili, bato oyo bazalaki komipesa na kindumba ya bule, mpe alongolaki banzambe nyonso ya bikeko oyo tata na ye asalaki.

And he took away the effeminate from the land. And he purged all the filth of the idols, which his fathers had made.

13 Alongolaki ezala Maaka, koko na ye ya mwasi, na lokumu ya mama ya mokonzi; pamba te Maaka asalelaki nzambe mwasi Ashera ekeko ya soni. Asa abukaki mpe atumbaki ekeko yango ya soni kati na lubwaku ya Sedron.

Moreover, he also removed his mother, Maacah, from being the leader in the sacrifices of Priapus, and in his sacred grove which she had consecrated. And he destroyed his grotto. And he shattered the very indecent idol, and he burned it at the torrent Kidron.

14 Nzokande, atako abebisaki te bisambelo ya likolo ya bangomba, Asa abatelaki motema na ye sembo na miso ya Yawe, na mikolo nyonso ya bomoi na ye.

But the high places, he did not take away. Yet truly, the heart of Asa was perfect with the Lord during all his days.

15 Azongisaki kati na Tempelo ya Yawe biloko oyo tata na ye mpe ye moko babulisaki: palata, wolo mpe biloko mosusu.

And he brought the things that his father had sanctified and vowed back to the house of the Lord: the silver, and the gold, and the vessels.

16 Na mikolo nyonso oyo Asa mpe Baesha, mokonzi ya Isalaele, bazalaki na bokonzi, bazalaki kaka na bitumba.

Now there was war between Asa and Baasha, the king of Israel, during all their days.

17 Baesha, mokonzi ya Isalaele, abundisaki Yuda mpe alendisaki bamir ya engumba Rama mpo na kopekisa bato kokota to kobima na mokili ya Asa, mokonzi ya Yuda.

And Baasha, the king of Israel, ascended against Judah. And he built up Ramah, so that no one would be able to exit or enter from the side of Asa, the king of Judah.

18 Asa azwaki palata mpe wolo nyonso oyo etikalaki kati na bibombelo bomengo ya Tempelo ya Yawe mpe ya ndako ya mokonzi; apesaki yango na maboko ya basali na ye mpe atindaki bango epai ya Beni-Adadi, mwana mobali ya Tabirimoni, mwana mobali ya Ezioni, mokonzi ya Siri, oyo azalaki kovanda na Damasi. Atindelaki ye mpe maloba oyo:

And so, Asa took all the silver and the gold which had remained in the treasuries of the house of the Lord, and in the treasuries of the house of the king, and he gave it into the hands of his servants. And he sent them to Benhadad, the son of Tabrimmon, the son of Hezion, the king of Syria, who was living in Damascus, saying:

19 « Tika ete tosala boyokani kati na ngai mpe yo ndenge ezalaki kati na tata na ngai mpe tata na yo. Tala, natindeli yo kado ya palata mpe ya wolo. Kende kokata boyokani na yo elongo na Baesha, mokonzi ya Isalaele, mpo ete abundisa ngai lisusu te. »

“There is a pact between me and you, and between my father and your father. For this reason, I have sent to you gifts of silver and of gold. And I ask you to go and break your pact with Baasha, the king of Israel, so that he may withdraw from me.”

20 Beni-Adadi andimaki maloba ya mokonzi Asa mpe atindaki bakonzi ya basoda na ye kobundisa bingumba ya Isalaele. Abotolaki Iyoni, Dani, Abele-Beti-Maaka, etuka mobimba ya Kinereti mpe mokili nyonso ya Nefitali.

Benhadad, acquiescing to king Asa, sent the leaders of his army against the cities of Israel. And they struck Ijon, and Dan, and Abel, the house of Maacah, and all of Chinneroth, that is, all the land of Naphtali.

21 Tango kaka Baesha ayokaki bongo, atikaki kolendisa engumba Rama mpe akendeki kovanda na Tiritsa.

And when Baasha had heard this, he ceased from fortifying Ramah, and he returned to Tirzah.

22 Bongo mokonzi Asa abengisaki bato nyonso ya Yuda, kolongola ata moto moko te; mpe bamemaki longwa na Rama mabanga mpe mabaya oyo Baesha azalaki kosalela kuna. Mokonzi Asa asalelaki yango mpo na kolendisa engumba Geba kati na etuka ya Benjame, mpe engumba Mitsipa.

Then king Asa sent an announcement to all of Judah, saying, “Let no one be excused.” And they took away the stones from Ramah, and its timber, with which Baasha had fortified it. And from these things, king Asa built up Geba of Benjamin and Mizpah.

23 Makambo mosusu oyo etali bokonzi ya Asa, molende na ye, misala na ye nyonso mpe bingumba na ye nyonso oyo atongaki, ekomama kati na buku ya masolo ya bakonzi ya Yuda. Tango akomaki mobange, akomaki kobela makolo.

Now all the rest of the words of Asa, and his entire strength, and all that he did, and the cities that he built, were these not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Judah? Yet truly, in the time of his old age, he was afflicted in his feet.

24 Asa akendeki kokutana na bakoko na ye, mpe bakundaki ye esika moko na bakoko na ye kati na engumba ya Davidi, tata na ye. Jozafati, mwana na ye ya mobali, akitanaki na ye na bokonzi.

And he slept with his fathers, and he was buried with them in the city of David, his father. And Jehoshaphat, his son, reigned in his place.

25 Tango Asa, mokonzi ya Yuda, akokisaki mibu mibale na bokonzi; Nadabi, mwana mobali ya Jeroboami, akomaki mokonzi ya Isalaele mpe akonzaki Isalaele mibu mibale.

Yet truly, Nadab, the son of Jeroboam, reigned over Israel, in the second year of Asa, the king of Judah. And he reigned over Israel for two years.

26 Asalaki makambo mabe na miso ya Yawe, atambolaki na banzela mabe ya tata na ye, oyo atindikaki mpe bato ya Isalaele na kosala masumu.

And he did what is evil in the sight of the Lord. And he walked in the ways of his father and in his sins, by which he caused Israel to sin.

27 Baesha, mwana mobali ya Ayiya, moto ya libota ya Isakari, asalelaki ye likita mpe abomaki ye na Gibetoni, moko kati na bingumba ya bato ya Filisitia, na tango oyo Nadabi elongo na Isalaele mobimba bazingelaki Gibetoni.

Then Baasha, the son of Ahijah, from the house of Issachar, set an ambush against him, and he struck him down at Gibbethon, which is a city of the Philistines. For indeed, Nadab and all of Israel were laying siege to Gibbethon.

28 Baesha abomaki Nababi tango Asa, mokonzi ya Yuda, akokisaki mibu misato na bokonzi, mpe akitanaki na Nadabi na bokonzi.

And so Baasha killed him in the third year of Asa, the king of Judah, and he reigned in his place.

29 Tango azwaki bokonzi, abomaki libota nyonso ya Jeroboami mpe atikaki ata moto moko te na bomoi kati na libota ya Jeroboami: abomaki bato nyonso kolanda etinda na Yawe na nzela ya mowumbu na ye, Ayiya, moto ya Silo,

And when he had reigned, he struck down the entire house of Jeroboam. He did not leave behind even one soul from his offspring, until he had wiped him away, in accord with the word of the Lord, which he had spoken by the hand of Ahijah, the Shilonite,

30 mpo na masumu oyo Jeroboami asalaki mpe atindikaki bato ya Isalaele na kosala. Na bongo, apelisaki kanda ya Yawe, Nzambe ya Isalaele.

because of the sin of Jeroboam, which he had committed, and by which he had caused Israel to sin, and because of the offense by which he had provoked the Lord, the God of Israel.

31 Makambo mosusu oyo etali bokonzi ya Nadabi mpe misala na ye nyonso, ekomama kati na buku ya masolo ya bakonzi ya Isalaele.

But the rest of the words of Nadab, and all that he did, were these not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Israel?

32 Na mikolo nyonso oyo Asa mpe Baesha, mokonzi ya Isalaele, bazalaki na bokonzi, bazalaki kaka na bitumba.

And there was war between Asa and Baasha, the king of Israel, during all their days.

33 Tango Asa, mokonzi ya Yuda, akokisaki mibu misato na bokonzi, Baesha, mwana mobali ya Ayiya, akomaki mokonzi ya Isalaele mobimba, na Tiritsa. Asalaki mibu tuku mibale na minei na bokonzi.

In the third year of Asa, the king of Judah, Baasha, the son of Ahijah, reigned over all of Israel, at Tirzah, for twenty-four years.

34 Baesha asalaki makambo mabe na miso ya Yawe, na komekola banzela ya Jeroboami oyo atindikaki bato ya Isalaele na kosala masumu na ye.

And he did evil in the sight of the Lord. And he walked in the ways of Jeroboam, and in his sins, by which he caused Israel to sin.
