2 Masolo ya Kala 21
1 Jozafati akendeki kokutana na bakoko na ye, mpe bakundaki ye esika moko na bakoko na ye kati na engumba ya Davidi. Yorami, mwana na ye ya mobali, akitanaki na ye na bokonzi.
Now Jehoshaphat slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David. And Jehoram his son reigned in his stead.
2 Tala bandeko mibali ya Yorami: Azaria, Yeyeli, Zakari, Azaria, Mikaeli mpe Shefatia. Bango nyonso bazalaki bana mibali ya Jozafati, mokonzi ya Isalaele.
And he had brothers the sons of Jehoshaphat, Azariah, and Jehiel, and Zechariah, and Azariah, and Michael, and Shephatiah: all these were the sons of Jehoshaphat king of Israel.
3 Tata na bango apesaki bango bakado ebele ya palata, ya wolo, ya biloko ya talo; apesaki bango lisusu bingumba batonga makasi kati na Yuda, kasi apesaki bokonzi epai ya Yorami mpo ete azalaki mwana na ye ya liboso ya mobali.
And their father gave them great gifts of silver, and of gold, and of precious things, with fenced cities in Judah: but the kingdom gave he to Jehoram; because he was the firstborn.
4 Tango Yorami azwaki bokonzi ya tata na ye mpe alendaki na bokonzi yango, abomaki na mopanga bandeko na ye nyonso ya mibali elongo na ndambo ya bakambi ya Isalaele.
Now when Jehoram was risen up to the kingdom of his father, he strengthened himself, and slew all his brothers with the sword, and divers also of the princes of Israel.
5 Yorami azalaki na mibu tuku misato na mibale ya mbotama tango akomaki mokonzi, mpe akonzaki mibu mwambe na Yelusalemi.
Jehoram was thirty and two years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eight years in Jerusalem.
6 Alandaki nzela oyo bakonzi ya Isalaele batambolaki na yango mpe asalaki mabe na miso ya Yawe ndenge libota ya Akabi esalaki, pamba te abalaki mwana mwasi ya Akabi.
And he walked in the way of the kings of Israel, like as did the house of Ahab: for he had the daughter of Ahab to wife: and he worked that which was evil in the eyes of the LORD.
7 Nzokande, Yawe alingaki te kobebisa libota ya Davidi, mpo na boyokani oyo Ye moko Yawe asalaki elongo na Davidi, mpe mpo ete alakaki kopesa mpo na libela bokonzi epai ya Davidi mpe epai ya bana na ye.
However, the LORD would not destroy the house of David, because of the covenant that he had made with David, and as he promised to give a light to him and to his sons for ever.
8 Na tango oyo Yorami azalaki na bokonzi, bato ya Edomi batombokelaki Yuda mpe bamipesaki mokonzi.
In his days the Edomites revolted from under the dominion of Judah, and made themselves a king.
9 Yorami akendeki kuna elongo na bakonzi na ye ya basoda mpe bashar na ye nyonso. Na butu, atelemaki mpe abetaki bato ya Edomi oyo bazingelaki ye elongo na bakonzi ya basoda oyo babundaka na bashar.
Then Jehoram went forth with his princes, and all his chariots with him: and he rose up by night, and smote the Edomites which compassed him in, and the captains of the chariots.
10 Wuta mokolo wana kino lelo, Edomi etombokelaka kaka Yuda. Na tango wana, Libina mpe etombokelaki Yorami, pamba te Yorami asundolaki Yawe, Nzambe ya batata na ye.
So the Edomites revolted from under the hand of Judah to this day. The same time also did Libnah revolt from under his hand; because he had forsaken the LORD God of his fathers.
11 Yorami atongaki kutu bisambelo ya likolo ya bangomba ya Yuda; atindikaki bato ya Yelusalemi na kosambela bikeko mpe apengwisaki Yuda.
Moreover he made high places in the mountains of Judah and caused the inhabitants of Jerusalem to commit fornication, and compelled Judah thereto.
12 Yorami azwaki mokanda kowuta na mosakoli Eliya; ezalaki koloba: « Tala makambo oyo Yawe, Nzambe ya mokonzi na yo Davidi, alobi: ‹ Lokola olandi te ndakisa ya Jozafati, tata na yo, mpe ya Asa, mokonzi ya Yuda,
And there came a writing to him from Elijah the prophet, saying, Thus says the LORD God of David your father, Because you have not walked in the ways of Jehoshaphat your father, nor in the ways of Asa king of Judah,
13 kasi olandi banzela ya bakonzi ya Isalaele, mpe otindiki bato ya Yuda mpe ya Yelusalemi na kosambela banzambe ya bikeko ndenge libota ya Akabi esalaki; lokola obomaki lisusu bandeko na yo ya mibali, bato ya ndako ya tata na yo, bato oyo bazalaki malamu koleka yo,
But have walked in the way of the kings of Israel, and have made Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem to go a whoring, like to the prostitutions of the house of Ahab, and also have slain your brothers of your father’s house, which were better than yourself:
14 Yawe alingi sik’oyo koboma, na nzela ya etumbu ya somo, bato na yo, bana na yo ya mibali, basi na yo mpe biloko na yo nyonso.
Behold, with a great plague will the LORD smite your people, and your children, and your wives, and all your goods:
15 Yo moko mpe okobela bokono ya makasi, bokono ya libumu oyo pasi na yango ekomata se komata mikolo nyonso kino kobimisa yo misopo na libanda. › »
And you shall have great sickness by disease of your bowels, until your bowels fall out by reason of the sickness day by day.
16 Yawe asalaki ete bato ya Filisitia mpe bato ya Arabi oyo bazalaki kovanda pembeni ya bato ya Kushi babundisa Yorami.
Moreover the LORD stirred up against Jehoram the spirit of the Philistines, and of the Arabians, that were near the Ethiopians:
17 Babundisaki Yuda, bakotaki kati na yango na makasi mpe bamemaki biloko nyonso oyo bamonaki kati na ndako ya mokonzi elongo na bana na ye ya mibali mpe basi na ye; mwana mobali moko kaka atikalaki: Yoakazi, mwana na ye ya suka.
And they came up into Judah, and broke into it, and carried away all the substance that was found in the king’s house, and his sons also, and his wives; so that there was never a son left him, save Jehoahaz, the youngest of his sons.
18 Sima na makambo oyo nyonso, Yawe atindelaki ye bokono ya libumu oyo esilaka te.
And after all this the LORD smote him in his bowels with an incurable disease.
19 Pasi na yango ezalaki mikolo nyonso komata se komata; mpe na suka ya mobu ya mibale, misopo ya Yorami ebimaki na libanda mpo na bokono mpe akufaki kati na pasi makasi. Bato na ye batumbaki te biloko ya solo kitoko mpo na kopesa ye lokumu ndenge basalaki mpo na batata na ye.
And it came to pass, that in process of time, after the end of two years, his bowels fell out by reason of his sickness: so he died of sore diseases. And his people made no burning for him, like the burning of his fathers.
20 Yorami azalaki na mibu tuku misato na mibale ya mbotama tango akomaki mokonzi, mpe akonzaki mibu mwambe na Yelusalemi. Akendeki kaka ndenge wana, moto ata moko te ayokaki mawa. Bakundaki ye kati na engumba ya Davidi, kasi kati na bakunda ya bakonzi te.
Thirty and two years old was he when he began to reign, and he reigned in Jerusalem eight years, and departed without being desired. However, they buried him in the city of David, but not in the sepulchers of the kings.
