< 2 Masolo ya Kala 16 >
1 Na mobu ya tuku misato na motoba ya bokonzi ya Asa, Baesha, mokonzi ya Isalaele, abundisaki Yuda; alendisaki bamir ya engumba Rama mpo na kopekisa bato kokota to kobima na mokili ya Asa, mokonzi ya Yuda.
In the six and thirtieth year of the reign of Asa Baasha king of Israel came up against Judah, and built Ramah, to the intent that he might let none go out or come in to Asa king of Judah.
2 Asa azwaki na bibombelo bomengo ya Tempelo ya Yawe mpe ya ndako na ye moko palata mpe wolo, mpe atindaki yango epai ya Beni-Adadi, mokonzi ya Siri, oyo azalaki kovanda na Damasi. Atindelaki ye mpe maloba oyo:
Then Asa brought out silver and gold out of the treasures of the house of the LORD and of the king’s house, and sent to Benhadad king of Syria, that dwelled at Damascus, saying,
3 « Tika ete tosala boyokani kati na ngai mpe yo ndenge ezalaki kati na tata na ngai mpe tata na yo. Tala, natindeli yo palata mpe 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 you, as there was between my father and your father: behold, I have sent you silver and gold; go, break your league with Baasha king of Israel, that he may depart from me.
4 Beni-Adadi andimaki maloba ya mokonzi Asa mpe atindaki bakonzi ya basoda na ye kobundisa bingumba ya Isalaele. Babotolaki Iyoni, Dani, Abele-Mayimi mpe bibombelo nyonso ya bingumba ya Nefitali.
And Benhadad listened to king Asa, and sent the captains of his armies against the cities of Israel; and they smote Ijon, and Dan, and Abelmaim, and all the store cities of Naphtali.
5 Tango kaka Baesha ayokaki bongo, atikaki kolendisa engumba Rama mpe akataki misala na yango.
And it came to pass, when Baasha heard it, that he left off building of Ramah, and let his work cease.
6 Bongo mokonzi Asa asangisaki bato nyonso ya Yuda, mpe bamemaki wuta na Rama mabanga mpe mabaya oyo Baesha azalaki kosalela. Atongaki na yango Geba mpe engumba Mitsipa.
Then Asa the king took all Judah; and they carried away the stones of Ramah, and the timber thereof, with which Baasha was building; and he built therewith Geba and Mizpah.
7 Na tango wana, Anani, momoni makambo, akendeki epai ya Asa, mokonzi ya Yuda, mpe alobaki na ye: — Lokola otie elikya na yo na mokonzi ya Siri na esika ya kotia elikya na yo na Yawe, Nzambe na yo, ozali lisusu na bokonzi te likolo ya mampinga ya mokonzi ya Siri.
And at that time Hanani the seer came to Asa king of Judah, and said to him, Because you have relied on the king of Syria, and not relied on the LORD your God, therefore is the host of the king of Syria escaped out of your hand.
8 Boni, bato ya Etiopi mpe ya Libi bazalaki te mampinga minene ya basoda elongo na bashar mpe basoda ebele oyo babundaka likolo ya bampunda? Kasi lokola ozalaki kotia elikya na yo kati na Ye, Yawe akabaki bango solo na maboko na yo.
Were not the Ethiopians and the Lubims a huge host, with very many chariots and horsemen? yet, because you did rely on the LORD, he delivered them into your hand.
9 Pamba te Yawe atalaka mokili mobimba mpo na kosunga bato oyo mitema na bango emipesa mobimba epai na Ye. Nzokande, na likambo oyo, osali lokola moto oyo azangi mayele. Mpo na yango, kobanda lelo, okozalaka na bitumba tango nyonso.
For the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him. Herein you have done foolishly: therefore from now on you shall have wars.
10 Mokonzi Asa asilikelaki makasi momoni makambo mpe abwakaki ye na boloko. Kaka na tango yango, Asa anyokolaki ndambo ya bato.
Then Asa was wroth with the seer, and put him in a prison house; for he was in a rage with him because of this thing. And Asa oppressed some of the people the same time.
11 Makambo mpe misala mosusu ya Asa, kobanda na ebandeli kino na suka, ekomama kati na buku ya masolo ya bakonzi ya Yuda mpe ya Isalaele.
And, behold, the acts of Asa, first and last, see, they are written in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel.
12 Na mobu ya tuku misato na libwa ya bokonzi na ye, Asa abelaki makasi makolo; mpe, ezala na tango oyo azali kobela makasi, alukaki Yawe te, kasi akendeki epai ya minganga.
And Asa in the thirty and ninth year of his reign was diseased in his feet, until his disease was exceeding great: yet in his disease he sought not to the LORD, but to the physicians.
13 Na mobu ya tuku minei na moko ya bokonzi na ye, Asa akendeki kokutana na bakoko na ye.
And Asa slept with his fathers, and died in the one and fortieth year of his reign.
14 Bakundaki ye kati na kunda oyo asalisaki kati na engumba ya Davidi. Balalisaki ye na mbeto moko etonda na malasi, na biloko ya mike-mike ya solo kitoko mpe na kisi oyo basalelaka mpo na kokawusa nzoto ya mowei; mpe batumbaki biloko yango ebele mpo na lokumu na ye.
And they buried him in his own sepulchers, which he had made for himself in the city of David, and laid him in the bed which was filled with sweet odors and divers kinds of spices prepared by the apothecaries’ are: and they made a very great burning for him.
