1 Bakonzi 15

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

Now in the eighteenth year of the reign of Jeroboam the son of Nabat, Abiam reigned over Juda.

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

He reigned three years in Jerusalem: the name of his mother was Maacha the daughter of Abessalom.

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: and his heart was not 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 David’s sake the Lord his God gave him a lamp in Jerusalem, to set up his son after him, and to 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.

Because David had done that which was right in the eyes of the Lord, and had not turned aside from any thing that he commanded him, all the days of his life, except the matter of Urias the Hethite.

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

But there was war between Roboam and Jeroboam all the 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 Abiam, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Juda? And there was war between Abiam 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 Abiam slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of David, and Asa his son reigned in his stead.

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

So in the twentieth year of Jeroboam king of Israel, reigned Asa king of Juda,

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 one and forty years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Maacha, the daughter of Abessalom.

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

And Asa did that which was right in the sight of the Lord, as did David his father:

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 out of the land, and he removed 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 Maacha, from being the princess in the sacrifices of Priapus, and in the grove which she had consecrated to him: and he destroyed her den, and broke in pieces the filthy idol, and burnt it by the torrent Cedron:

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. Nevertheless the heart of Asa was perfect with the Lord 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 in the things which his father had dedicated, and he had vowed, into the house of the Lord, silver and gold, and vessels.

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

And there was war between Asa, and Baasa king of Israel 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 Baasa king of Israel went up against Juda, and built Rama, that no man might go out or come in, of the side of Asa king of Juda.

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:

Then Asa took all the silver and gold that remained in the treasures of the house of the Lord, and in the treasures of the king’s house, and delivered it into the hands of his servants: and sent them to Benadad son of Tabremon the son of Hezion, king of Syria, who dwelt 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 league between me and thee, and between my father and thy father: therefore I have sent thee presents of silver and gold: and I desire thee to come, and break thy league with Baasa king of Israel, that he may depart 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.

Benadad hearkening to king Asa, sent the captains of his army against the cities of Israel, and they smote Ahion, and Dan, and Abeldomum Maacha, and all Cenneroth, that is all the land of Nephtali.

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

And when Baasa had heard this, he left off building Rama, and returned into Thersa.

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.

But king Asa sent word into all Juda, saying: Let no man be excused: and they took away the stones from Rama, and the timber thereof wherewith Baasa had been building, and with them Asa built Gabaa of Benjamin, and Maspha.

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.

But the rest of all the acts of Asa, and all his strength, and all that he did and the cities that he built, are they not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Juda? But in the time of his old age he was diseased 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 was buried with them in the city of David his father. And Josaphat 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.

But Nadab the son of Jeroboam reigned over Israel the second year of Asa king of Juda: and he reigned over Israel 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 evil in the sight of the Lord, and walked in the ways of his father, and in his sins, wherewith he made 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.

And Baasa the son of Ahias of the house of Issachar, conspired against him, and slew him in Gebbethon, which is a city of the Philistines: for Nadab and all Israel besieged Gebbethon.

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

So Baasa slew him in the third year of Asa king of Juda, and 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 was king he cut off all the house of Jeroboam: he left not so much as one soul of his seed, till he had utterly destroyed him, according to the word of the Lord, which he had spoken in the hand of Ahias the Silonite:

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 sinned, and wherewith he had made Israel to sin, and for the offence, wherewith he 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 acts of Nadab, and all that he did, are they 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 Baasa the king of Israel 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 king of Juda, Baasa the son of Ahias reigned over all Israel, in Thersa, four and twenty 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 before the Lord, and walked in the ways of Jeroboam, and in his sins, wherewith he made Israel to sin.
