2 Masolo ya Kala 12
1 Tango bokonzi ya Roboami elendisamaki mpe ye moko akomaki makasi, ye mpe Isalaele mobimba basundolaki Mobeko ya Yawe.
And when the kingdom of Roboam was strengthened and fortified, he forsook the law of the Lord, and all Israel with him.
2 Boye, lokola bazalaki lisusu kotosa Yawe te, Shishaki, mokonzi ya Ejipito, abundisaki Yelusalemi na mobu ya mitano ya bokonzi ya Roboami.
And in the fifth year of the reign of Roboam, Sesac king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem (because they had sinned against the Lord)
3 Ayaki wuta na Ejipito elongo na bashar nkoto moko na nkama mibale, basoda nkoto tuku motoba oyo babundaka likolo ya bampunda elongo na mampinga ya basoda ebele oyo motango na bango ekokaki kotangama te: basoda ya mokili ya Libi, ya Suki mpe ya Kushi.
With twelve hundred chariots and threescore thousand horsemen: and the people were without number that came with him out of Egypt, to wit, Libyans, and Troglodites, and Ethiopians.
4 Abotolaki bingumba batonga makasi ya Yuda mpe akendeki kino na Yelusalemi.
And he took the strongest cities in Juda, and came to Jerusalem.
5 Bongo, mosakoli Shemaya akendeki epai ya Roboami mpe bakambi ya Yuda oyo basanganaki na Yelusalemi tango bamonaki Shishaki kopusana. Alobaki na bango: — Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: « Bosundolaki Ngai, yango wana Ngai mpe nasundoli bino na maboko ya Shishaki. »
And Semeias the prophet came to Roboam, and to the princes of Juda, that were gathered together in Jerusalem, fleeing from Sesac, and he said to them: Thus saith the Lord: You have left me, and I have left you in the hand of Sesac.
6 Mokonzi elongo na bakambi ya Isalaele bamikitisaki, bandimaki mabe na bango mpe balobaki: — Yawe azali sembo!
And the princes of Israel, and the king, being in a consternation, said: The Lord is just.
7 Tango Yawe amonaki ete basili komikitisa, Yawe alobaki lisusu epai ya Shemaya: — Lokola basili komikitisa na kondima mabe na bango, nakobebisa bango te; kasi kala mingi te, nakokangola bango, mpe kanda na Ngai ekokitela Yelusalemi te na nzela ya Shishaki.
And when the Lord saw that they were humbled, the word of the Lord came to Semeias, saying: Because they are humbled, I will not destroy them, and I will give them a little help, and my wrath shall not fall upon Jerusalem by the hand of Sesac.
8 Nzokande bakokoma bawumbu na ye mpe, na bongo, bakoyeba bokeseni nini ezali kati na kosalela Ngai mpe kosalela bakonzi ya bamboka mosusu.
But yet they shall serve him, that they may know the difference between my service, and the service of a kingdom of the earth.
9 Shishaki, mokonzi ya Ejipito, abundisaki Yelusalemi, azwaki bomengo ya Tempelo ya Yawe mpe ya ndako ya mokonzi. Azwaki penza biloko nyonso, ezala banguba ya wolo oyo Salomo asalisaki.
So Sesac king of Egypt departed from Jerusalem, taking away the treasures of the house of the Lord, and of the king’s house, and he took all with him, and the golden shields that Solomon had made,
10 Na esika ya banguba ya wolo, mokonzi Roboami asalisaki banguba ya bronze mpe apesaki yango epai ya bakonzi ya bakengeli ekotelo ya ndako ya mokonzi.
Instead of which the king made brazen ones, and delivered them to the captains of the shieldbearers, who guarded the entrance of the palace.
11 Tango nyonso mokonzi abandaki kokende na Tempelo ya Yawe, bakengeli bazalaki kokende elongo na ye, bazalaki komema banguba mpe kozongisa yango kati na ndako ya bakengeli.
And when the king entered into the house of the Lord, the shieldbearers came and took them, and brought them back again to their armoury.
12 Lokola mokonzi Roboami amikitisaki na kondima mabe na ye, Yawe akitiselaki ye te kanda na Ye mpe abebisaki ye penza te. Kutu, emonanaki lisusu makambo malamu kati na Yuda.
But yet because they were humbled, the wrath of the Lord turned away from them, and they were not utterly destroyed: for even in Juda there were found good works.
13 Mokonzi Roboami alendisaki bokonzi na ye, na Yelusalemi mpe akonzaki. 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 kuna Kombo na Ye. Kombo ya mama na ye ezalaki « Naama. » Naama azalaki moto ya Amoni.
King Roboam therefore was strengthened in Jerusalem, and reigned: he 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 establish his name there: and the name of his mother was Naama an Ammonitess.
14 Roboami asalaki mabe, pamba te amipesaki te, na motema na ye mobimba, mpo na koluka Yawe.
But he did evil, and did not prepare his heart to seek the Lord.
15 Makambo mosusu oyo etali bokonzi ya Roboami, kobanda na ebandeli kino na suka, ekomama kati na buku ya misala ya mosakoli Shemaya mpe ya momoni makambo Ido, buku epai wapi emonani milongo ya mbotama. Ezalaki tango nyonso na bitumba kati na Roboami mpe Jeroboami.
Now the acts of Roboam first and last are written in the books of Semeias the prophet, and of Addo the seer, and diligently recorded: and there was war between Roboam and Jeroboam all their days.
16 Roboami akendeki kokutana na bakoko na ye, mpe bakundaki ye kati na engumba ya Davidi. Abiya, mwana na ye ya mobali, akitanaki na ye na bokonzi.
And Roboam slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David. And Abia his son reigned in his stead.
