1 Roboami akendeki na Sishemi epai wapi lisanga mobimba ya Isalaele esanganaki mpo na kokomisa ye mokonzi.
And Rehoboam went to Shechem, where all Israel had come together 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.
And when Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, had news of it, (for he was in Egypt where he had gone in flight from King Solomon, ) he came back from Egypt.
3 Boye, batindaki bato kobenga Jeroboami; bongo ye Jeroboami elongo na lisanga mobimba ya Isalaele bakendeki epai ya Roboami mpe balobaki na ye:
And they sent for him; and Jeroboam and all Israel came to Rehoboam and said,
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.
Your father put a hard yoke on us: if you will make the conditions under which your father kept us down less cruel, and the weight of the yoke he put on us less hard, then we will be your servants.
5 Roboami azongisaki: — Bopesa ngai mikolo misato mpo na koyekola likambo yango, bongo bozongela ngai. Mpe bato bakendeki.
And he said to them, Come to me again after three days. So the people went away.
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?
Then King Rehoboam took the opinion of the old men who had been with Solomon his father when he was living, and said, In your opinion, what answer am I to give to this people?
7 Bazongiselaki ye: — Soki omitalisi lokola moto malamu epai ya bato oyo, soki olobeli bango na boboto mpe opesi bango eyano ya malamu, bakozala tango nyonso basali na yo.
And they said to him, If you are kind to this people, pleasing them and saying good words to them, then they will be your servants for ever.
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 gave no attention to the opinion of the old men, but went to the young men of his generation who were waiting before him.
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 is your opinion? What answer are we to give to this people who have said to me, Make less the weight of the yoke which your father put on 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 of his generation said to him, This is the answer to give to the people who came to you saying, Your father put a hard yoke on us, but will you make it less; say to them, My little finger is thicker than my father's body;
11 Kobanda lelo, 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. »
If my father put a hard yoke on you, I will make it harder: my father gave you punishment with whips, but I will give you blows with snakes.
12 Sima na mikolo misato, Jeroboami elongo na bato nyonso bazongaki epai ya Roboami, ndenge mokonzi ayebisaki bango: « Bozongela ngai sima na mikolo misato. »
So Jeroboam and all the people came to Rehoboam on the third day, as the king had given orders, saying, Come to me again on the third day.
13 Mokonzi Roboami aboyaki kosalela toli oyo bampaka bapesaki ye, ayanolaki bato na maloba mabe makasi;
And the king gave them a rough answer. So King Rehoboam gave no attention to the suggestion of the old men,
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.
But gave them the answer put forward by the young men, saying, My father made your yoke hard, but I will make it harder; my father gave you punishment with whips, but I will give it with snakes.
15 Mokonzi aboyaki koyoka bato, pamba te ezalaki Nzambe nde asalaki bongo mpo na kokokisa Liloba oyo Yawe ayebisaki Jeroboami, mwana mobali ya Nebati, na nzela ya mosakoli Ayiya, moto ya Silo.
So the king did not give ear to the people; for this came about by the purpose of God, so that the Lord might give effect to his word which he had said by Ahijah the Shilonite to Jeroboam, the son of Nebat.
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! Wana bana nyonso ya Isalaele bazongaki na bandako na bango ya kapo,
And when all Israel saw that the king would give no attention to them, the people in answer said to the king, What part have we in David? what is our heritage in the son of Jesse? every man to your tents, O Israel; now see to your house, David. So all Israel went to their tents.
17 Roboami akobaki kokonza bana ya Isalaele oyo bazalaki kovanda na bingumba ya Yuda.
But Rehoboam was still king over those of the children of Israel who were living in the towns of Judah.
18 Mokonzi Roboami atindaki Adorami oyo azalaki motambolisi ya misala makasi, kasi bana ya Isalaele babambaki ye mabanga mpe akufaki. Nzokande, mokonzi Roboami alongaki komata na shar na ye mpo na kokima na Yelusalemi.
Then Rehoboam sent Adoniram, the overseer of the forced work; and he was stoned to death by all Israel. And King Rehoboam went quickly and got into his carriage to go in flight to Jerusalem.
19 Ezali boye nde bana ya Isalaele batombokelaki ndako ya Davidi kino na mokolo ya lelo.
So Israel was turned away from the family of David to this day.
