2 Masolo ya Kala 15
1 Molimo ya Nzambe akitelaki Azaria, mwana mobali ya Odedi.
And the spirit of God came upon Azarias the son of Oded,
2 Azaria ayaki liboso ya Asa mpe alobaki na ye: « Asa elongo na bato nyonso ya Yuda mpe ya Benjame, boyoka ngai! Yawe azalaka elongo na bino soki bino bozali elongo na Ye. Soki boluki Ye, akomimonisa epai na bino. Nzokande, soki botiki Ye, Ye mpe akotika bino!
And he went out to meet Asa, and said to him: Hear ye me, Asa, and all Juda and Benjamin: The Lord is with you, because you have been with him. If you seek him, you shall find: but if you forsake him, he will forsake you.
3 Na tango molayi, Isalaele azangaki Nzambe ya solo, azangaki Banganga-Nzambe mpo na koteya ye, mpe azangaki mibeko.
And many days shall pass in Israel without the true God, and without a priest a teacher, and without the law.
4 Kasi kati na pasi na bango, bazongelaki Yawe, Nzambe ya Isalaele; balukaki Ye, mpe Ye amimonisaki epai na bango.
And when in their distress they shall return to the Lord the God of Israel, and shall seek him, they shall find him.
5 Na tango yango, kimia ezalaki te mpo na bato oyo bazalaki kokende mpe kozonga, pamba te mobulu ezalaki kati na bavandi nyonso ya mikili.
At that time there shall be no peace to him that goeth out and cometh in, but terrors on every side among all the inhabitants of the earth.
6 Ekolo moko ezalaki kobundisa ekolo mosusu, engumba moko ezalaki kobundisa engumba mosusu, pamba te Nzambe azalaki kokotisa mobulu kati na bango na nzela ya pasi ya lolenge nyonso.
For nation shall fight against nation, and city against city, for the Lord will trouble them with all distress.
7 Boye bino, botelema ngwi mpe bolemba te, pamba te misala na bino ezali na lifuti. »
Do you therefore take courage, and let not your hands he weakened: for there shall be a reward for your work.
8 Sima na Asa koyoka maloba oyo mpe lisakoli ya Azaria, mwana mobali ya mosakoli Odedi, azwaki mpiko, alongolaki banzambe ya bikeko kati na bituka ya Yuda, ya Benjame mpe kati na bingumba oyo abotolaki kati na etuka ya bangomba ya Efrayimi; azongisaki etumbelo ya Yawe oyo ezalaki liboso ya ndako moke ya kokotela na Tempelo ya Yawe.
And when Asa had heard the words, and the prophecy of Azarias the son of Oded the prophet, he took courage, and took away the idols out of all the land of Juda, and out of Benjamin, and out of the cities of mount Ephraim, which he had taken, and he dedicated the altar of the Lord, which was before the porch of the Lord.
9 Asangisaki bato nyonso ya Yuda mpe ya Benjame, elongo na bato oyo bawutaki na mabota ya Efrayimi, ya Manase mpe ya Simeoni, oyo bakomaki kovanda kati na bango, pamba te bana ebele ya Isalaele basanganaki na mokonzi Asa tango bamonaki ete Yawe, Nzambe na ye, azali elongo na ye.
And he gathered together all Juda and Benjamin, and the strangers with them of Ephraim, and Manasses, and Simeon: for many were come over to him out of Israel, seeing that the Lord his God was with him.
10 Basanganaki na Yelusalemi na sanza ya misato ya mobu ya zomi na mitano ya bokonzi ya Asa.
And when they were come to Jerusalem in the third month, in the fifteenth year of the reign of Asa,
11 Na mokolo wana, kati na bomengo ya bitumba oyo bazongaki na yango, babonzelaki Yawe bangombe nkama sambo mpe bameme nkoto sambo.
They sacrificed to the Lord in that day of the spoils, and of the prey, that they had brought, seven hundred oxen, and seven thousand rams.
12 Basalaki boyokani na kolapa ndayi ete bakokangama na Yawe, Nzambe ya batata na bango, na mitema mpe na molimo na bango mobimba;
And he went in to confirm as usual the covenant, that they should seek the Lord the God of their fathers with all their heart, and with all their soul.
13 bongo moto nyonso oyo akokangama te na Yawe, Nzambe ya Isalaele, azala mwana to mokolo, tata to mama, basengeli koboma ye.
And if any one, said he, seek not the Lord the God of Israel, let him die, whether little or great, man or woman.
14 Balapaki ndayi epai na Yawe, na mongongo makasi, na kobeta maboko mpe milolo, mpe na lokito ya kelelo mpe ya maseke.
And they swore to the Lord with a loud voice with joyful shouting, and with sound of trumpet, and sound of comets,
15 Bato nyonso ya Yuda basepelaki na ndayi yango, pamba te balapaki yango na mitema na bango mobimba; bazwaki mokano ya kokangama na Yawe Nzambe na esengo, mpe Ye amimonisaki epai na bango. Boye, Yawe apesaki bango bopemi na bangambo nyonso.
All that mere in Juda with a curse: for with all their heart they swore, and with all their will they sought him, and they found him, and the Lord gave them rest round about.
16 Mokonzi Asa alongolaki ezala Maaka, mama na ye, na lokumu ya mama ya mokonzi, pamba te Maaka asalelaki nzambe mwasi Ashera ekeko ya soni. Asa abukaki ekeko yango ya soni kino kokomisa yango putulu, mpe atumbaki yango kati na lubwaku ya Sedron.
Moreover Maacha the mother of king Asa he deposed from the royal authority, because she had made in a grove an idol of Priapus: and he entirely destroyed it, and breaking it into pieces, burnt it at the torrent Cedron.
17 Kasi abebisaki te kati na Isalaele bisambelo ya likolo ya bangomba. Nzokande, Asa abatelaki motema na ye sembo, na mikolo nyonso ya bomoi na ye;
But high places were left in Israel: nevertheless the heart of Asa was perfect all his days.
18 azongisaki kati na Tempelo ya Nzambe biloko oyo tata na ye mpe ye moko babulisaki: palata, wolo mpe biloko mosusu.
And the things which his father had vowed, and he himself had vowed, he brought into the house of the Lord, gold and silver, and vessels of divers uses.
19 Bitumba ezalaki lisusu te kino na mobu ya tuku misato na mitano ya bokonzi ya Asa.
And there was no war unto the five and thirtieth year of the kingdom of Asa.
