2 Masolo ya Kala 23
1 Na mobu ya sambo, Nganga-Nzambe Yeoyada alongolaki kobanga mpe azwaki mokano ya kosala boyokani elongo na bakonzi ya mampinga, oyo bakambaka basoda nkama moko: Azaria, mwana mobali ya Yeroami; Isimaeli, mwana mobali ya Yoanani; Azaria, mwana mobali ya Obedi; Maaseya, mwana mobali ya Adaya; mpe Elishafati, mwana mobali ya Zikiri.
In the seventh year, Jehoiada strengthened himself, and took the captains of hundreds—Azariah the son of Jeroham, Ishmael the son of Jehohanan, Azariah the son of Obed, Maaseiah the son of Adaiah, and Elishaphat the son of Zichri—into a covenant with him.
2 Batambolaki kati na Yuda mpe basangisaki Balevi elongo na bakonzi ya mabota ya Isalaele, oyo bawutaki na bingumba nyonso. Tango bayaki na Yelusalemi,
They went around in Judah and gathered the Levites out of all the cities of Judah, and the heads of fathers’ households of Israel, and they came to Jerusalem.
3 lisanga mobimba esalaki boyokani elongo na mokonzi kati na Tempelo ya Nzambe. Yeoyada alobaki na bango: « Mwana mobali ya mokonzi asengeli kokonza lokola mokonzi, kolanda elaka oyo Yawe apesaki na tina na bakitani ya Davidi.
All the assembly made a covenant with the king in God’s house. Jehoiada said to them, “Behold, the king’s son must reign, as the LORD has spoken concerning the sons of David.
4 Sik’oyo, tala ndenge bokosala: ‹ kati na bandambo misato ya lisanga na bino Banganga-Nzambe mpe Balevi oyo bakosala na mokolo ya Saba, ndambo ya liboso bakokengela bikuke,
This is the thing that you must do: a third part of you, who come in on the Sabbath, of the priests and of the Levites, shall be gatekeepers of the thresholds.
5 ndambo ya mibale bakokengela ndako ya mokonzi, mpe ndambo ya misato bakokengela ekuke ya Yesodi. Bato nyonso bakozala kati na mapango ya Tempelo ya Yawe.
A third part shall be at the king’s house; and a third part at the gate of the foundation. All the people will be in the courts of the LORD’s house.
6 Moko te asengeli kokota kati na Tempelo ya Yawe longola kaka Banganga-Nzambe mpe Balevi oyo bakozala na mosala, pamba te bazali bule. Bato nyonso oyo batikali basengeli kotosa mobeko ya Yawe.
But let no one come into the LORD’s house except the priests and those who minister of the Levites. They shall come in, for they are holy, but all the people shall follow the LORD’s instructions.
7 Balevi bakozingela mokonzi, moko na moko na ebundeli na ye na loboko. Moto mosusu oyo akomeka kokota na Tempelo ya Yawe, basengeli koboma ye. Bozala pene ya mokonzi na bisika nyonso oyo akokende. › »
The Levites shall surround the king, every man with his weapons in his hand. Whoever comes into the house, let him be slain. Be with the king when he comes in and when he goes out.”
8 Balevi mpe bato nyonso ya Yuda basalaki ndenge kaka Nganga-Nzambe Yeoyada atindaki. Moko na moko akamataki basoda na ye, ba-oyo bazalaki kokota na mosala na mokolo ya Saba mpe ba-oyo basilisaki mosala na bango na mokolo yango ya Saba, pamba te Nganga-Nzambe Yeoyada apemisaki ndambo moko te.
So the Levites and all Judah did according to all that Jehoiada the priest commanded. They each took his men, those who were to come in on the Sabbath, with those who were to go out on the Sabbath, for Jehoiada the priest didn’t dismiss the shift.
9 Nganga-Nzambe Yeoyada apesaki na bakonzi ya mampinga, oyo bakambaka basoda nkama moko makonga, banguba minene mpe banguba mike ya mokonzi Davidi, oyo ezalaki kati na Tempelo ya Nzambe.
Jehoiada the priest delivered to the captains of hundreds the spears, bucklers, and shields that had been king David’s, which were in God’s house.
10 Atiaki bato nyonso zingazinga ya mokonzi, moko na moko na ebundeli na ye na loboko, pembeni ya etumbelo mpe ya Tempelo, wuta na ngambo ya sude kino na ngambo ya nor ya Tempelo.
He set all the people, every man with his weapon in his hand, from the right side of the house to the left side of the house, near the altar and the house, around the king.
11 Babimisaki mwana mobali ya mokonzi, balatisaki ye motole, bapesaki ye mokanda ya boyokani mpe bakomisaki ye mokonzi. Yeoyada mpe bana na ye ya mibali bapakolaki ye mafuta ya bokonzi mpe bagangaki: « Tika ete mokonzi awumela na bomoi! »
Then they brought out the king’s son, put the crown on him, gave him the covenant, and made him king. Jehoiada and his sons anointed him, and they said, “Long live the king!”
12 Tango Atali ayokaki makelele ya bato oyo bazalaki kopota mbangu mpe kobetela mokonzi maboko, akendeki epai ya bato, na Tempelo ya Yawe,
When Athaliah heard the noise of the people running and praising the king, she came to the people into the LORD’s house.
13 atalaki mpe amonaki mokonzi atelemi na etemelo na ye ya kolobela, pembeni ya ekotelo ya Tempelo. Bakonzi ya basoda mpe bato oyo babetaka bakelelo bazalaki pembeni ya mokonzi. Bato nyonso ya mokili bazalaki kosepela wana bazalaki kobeta bakelelo; mpe bayembi elongo na bibetelo na bango ya mindule bazalaki kokamba nzembo mpo na kokumisa Nkolo. Atali apasolaki bilamba na ye mpe agangaki: — Basaleli ngai likita! Basaleli ngai likita!
Then she looked, and behold, the king stood by his pillar at the entrance, with the captains and the trumpeters by the king. All the people of the land rejoiced and blew shofars. The singers also played musical instruments, and led the singing of praise. Then Athaliah tore her clothes, and said, “Treason! treason!”
14 Nganga-Nzambe Yeoyada abengisaki bakonzi ya mampinga, oyo bakambaka basoda nkama moko mpe alobaki na bango: — Bobimisa ye na molongo! Mpe boboma na mopanga moto nyonso oyo akolanda ye! Pamba te Nganga-Nzambe alobaki: « Boboma ye te kati na Tempelo ya Yawe! »
Jehoiada the priest brought out the captains of hundreds who were set over the army, and said to them, “Bring her out between the ranks; and whoever follows her, let him be slain with the sword.” For the priest said, “Don’t kill her in the LORD’s house.”
15 Boye, wana Atali azwaki nzela ya ekotelo ya bampunda mpo na kokende na ndako ya mokonzi, bakangaki ye mpe babomaki ye kuna.
So they made way for her. She went to the entrance of the horse gate to the king’s house; and they killed her there.
16 Yeoyada asalaki boyokani kati na ye, bato nyonso mpe mokonzi, mpo ete bazala bato ya Yawe.
Jehoiada made a covenant between himself, all the people, and the king, that they should be the LORD’s people.
17 Bato nyonso bakendeki na ndako ya nzambe Bala, babukaki yango elongo na bitumbelo mpe bikeko, mpe babomaki Matani, nganga-nzambe ya Bala, liboso ya bitumbelo.
All the people went to the house of Baal, broke it down, broke his altars and his images in pieces, and killed Mattan the priest of Baal before the altars.
18 Yeoyada apesaki mosala ya kokengela Tempelo ya Yawe epai ya Banganga-Nzambe Balevi oyo Davidi apesaki mosala ya Tempelo ya Yawe, mpo na kotumba mbeka epai na Yawe, ndenge ekomama kati na mibeko ya Moyize, na esengo mpe na koyemba banzembo, ndenge Davidi atindaki.
Jehoiada appointed the officers of the LORD’s house under the hand of the Levitical priests, whom David had distributed in the LORD’s house, to offer the burnt offerings of the LORD, as it is written in the Torah of Moses, with rejoicing and with singing, as David had ordered.
19 Atiaki lisusu bakengeli na bikuke ya Tempelo ya Yawe mpo na kopekisa moto nyonso ya mbindo kokota kuna.
He set the gatekeepers at the gates of the LORD’s house, that no one who was unclean in anything should enter in.
20 Asangisaki bakonzi ya mampinga, oyo bakambaka basoda nkama moko, bato ya lokumu, bakambi ya bato mpe bato nyonso ya mokili; amemaki mokonzi longwa na Tempelo ya Yawe kino na ndako ya mokonzi, na nzela ya ekuke ya likolo. Mpe kuna, bavandisaki ye na kiti ya bokonzi.
He took the captains of hundreds, the nobles, the governors of the people, and all the people of the land, and brought the king down from the LORD’s house. They came through the upper gate to the king’s house, and set the king on the throne of the kingdom.
21 Bato nyonso ya mokili basepelaki, mpe engumba ekomaki na kimia, pamba te babomaki Atali na mopanga.
So all the people of the land rejoiced, and the city was quiet. They had slain Athaliah with the sword.
