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.
Jehoshaphat slept with his ancestors and was buried with them in the city of David; Jehoram, his son, became king in his place.
2 Tala bandeko mibali ya Yorami: Azaria, Yeyeli, Zakari, Azaria, Mikaeli mpe Shefatia. Bango nyonso bazalaki bana mibali ya Jozafati, mokonzi ya Isalaele.
Jehoram had brothers, sons of Jehoshaphat: Azariah, Jehiel, Zechariah, Azariahu, Michael, and Shephatiah. All these were 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.
Their father had given them large gifts of silver, gold, and other precious things, and also fortified cities in Judah, but he gave the kingdom to Jehoram.
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 had risen up over his father's kingdom and had firmly established himself as king, he killed all his brothers with the sword, and also various other leaders 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-two years old when he began to reign, and he reigned for 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.
He walked in the ways of the kings of Israel, as the house of Ahab was doing, for he had Ahab's daughter as his wife, and he did what was evil in the sight of Yahweh.
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, Yahweh did not wish to destroy the house of David, because of the covenant that he had made with David; he had promised that he would always give life to him and his descendants.
8 Na tango oyo Yorami azalaki na bokonzi, bato ya Edomi batombokelaki Yuda mpe bamipesaki mokonzi.
In Jehoram's days, Edom revolted from the control of Judah, and they set a king over themselves.
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 crossed over with his commanders and all his chariots. It was night when he rose up and fought against the Edomites who had surrounded him and his chariot commanders.
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 Edom has been in rebellion from the control of Judah to this present day. Libnah also revolted at the same time from his control, because Jehoram had forsaken Yahweh, the God of his ancestors.
11 Yorami atongaki kutu bisambelo ya likolo ya bangomba ya Yuda; atindikaki bato ya Yelusalemi na kosambela bikeko mpe apengwisaki Yuda.
In addition, Jehoram had also built high places in the mountains of Judah and he made the inhabitants of Jerusalem to live like prostitutes, and he led Judah astray.
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,
A letter from the prophet Elijah came to Jehoram. It said, “This is what Yahweh, the God of David, your ancestor, says: 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 ways of the kings of Israel, and have made Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem to act like a prostitute, as the house of Ahab did—and because you have also killed your brothers in your father's family, men who 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.
see, Yahweh will strike with a great plague your people, your children, your wives, and all your possessions.
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. › »
You yourself will have much sickness because of a disease in your intestines, until your intestines fall out because of the sickness, day after day.”
16 Yawe asalaki ete bato ya Filisitia mpe bato ya Arabi oyo bazalaki kovanda pembeni ya bato ya Kushi babundisa Yorami.
Yahweh stirred up against Jehoram the spirit of the Philistines and of the Arabians who were near the Cushites.
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.
They attacked Judah, invaded it, and carried away all the wealth that was found in the king's house. They also carried away his sons and his wives. No son was left to him except Jehoahaz, his youngest son.
18 Sima na makambo oyo nyonso, Yawe atindelaki ye bokono ya libumu oyo esilaka te.
After all this, Yahweh struck him in his intestines 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.
It came about in due time, at the end of two years, that his intestines fell out because of his sickness, and that he died of severe disease. His people made no fire in his honor as they had done for his ancestors.
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.
He had begun to reign when he was thirty-two years old; he reigned in Jerusalem for eight years, and when he departed no one mourned him. They buried him in the city of David, but not in the royal tombs.
