2 Masolo ya Kala 36
1 Bato ya mokili bazwaki Yoakazi, mwana mobali ya Joziasi, mpe bakomisaki ye mokonzi, na Yelusalemi, mpo na kokitana na tata na ye.
Then the people of the land took Jehoahaz son of Josiah, and made him king in his father's place in Jerusalem.
2 Yoakazi azalaki na mibu tuku mibale na misato ya mbotama tango akomaki mokonzi, mpe akonzaki basanza misato na Yelusalemi.
Jehoahaz was twenty-three years old when he began to reign, and he reigned three months in Jerusalem.
3 Mokonzi ya Ejipito alongolaki ye na bokonzi kati na Yelusalemi mpe asengaki na makasi ete mokili ya Yuda ekoma kofuta mpako mpo na mokonzi: bakilo nkoto misato na nkama minei ya palata mpe ya wolo.
The king of Egypt removed him at Jerusalem, and fined the land one hundred talents of silver and one talent of gold.
4 Mokonzi ya Ejipito akomisaki Eliakimi, ndeko mobali ya Yoakazi, mokonzi ya Yelusalemi mpe ya Yuda; abongolaki kombo na ye mpe akomisaki yango « Yeoyakimi. » Kasi Neko akangaki Yoakazi, ndeko mobali ya Yeoyakimi, mpe amemaki ye na Ejipito.
The king of Egypt made Eliakim, who was the brother of Jehoahaz, king over Judah and Jerusalem (and changed Eliakim's name to Jehoiakim). Then Necho took Eliakim's brother Jehoahaz and brought him to Egypt.
5 Yeoyakimi azalaki na mibu tuku mibale na mitano ya mbotama tango akomaki mokonzi, mpe akonzaki mibu zomi na moko na Yelusalemi. Asalaki makambo mabe na miso ya Yawe, Nzambe na ye.
Jehoiakim was twenty-five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem. He did what was evil in the sight of Yahweh his God.
6 Nabukodonozori, mokonzi ya Babiloni, abundisaki ye mpe akangaki ye minyololo ya bronze mpo na komema ye na Babiloni.
Then Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, attacked him and bound him in chains to lead him away to Babylon.
7 Nabukodonozori amemaki mpe na Babiloni ndambo ya biloko ya Tempelo ya Yawe mpe atiaki yango kati na ndako na ye ya bokonzi.
Nebuchadnezzar also carried some of the objects in the house of Yahweh to Babylon, and put them in his palace at Babylon.
8 Makambo mosusu oyo etali bokonzi ya Yeoyakimi, misala na ye ya nkele mpe makambo oyo ekweyelaki ye, ekomama kati na buku ya masolo ya bakonzi ya Isalaele mpe ya Yuda. Yeoyakini, mwana na ye ya mobali, akitanaki na ye na bokonzi.
As for the other matters concerning Jehoiakim, the disgusting things that he did, and what was found against him, behold, they are written in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel. Then Jehoiachin, his son, became king in his place.
9 Yeoyakini azalaki na mibu zomi na mwambe ya mbotama tango akomaki mokonzi, mpe akonzaki basanza misato mpe mikolo zomi na Yelusalemi. Asalaki makambo mabe na miso ya Yawe.
Jehoiachin was eight years old when he began to reign; he reigned three months and ten days in Jerusalem. He did what was evil in the sight of Yahweh.
10 Na suka ya mobu, mokonzi Nabukodonozori abengisaki ye mpe amemaki ye na Babiloni elongo na biloko ya motuya ya Tempelo ya Yawe; akomisaki Sedesiasi, ndeko mobali ya Yeoyakini, mokonzi ya Yuda mpe ya Yelusalemi.
In the spring, King Nebuchadnezzar sent men and brought him to Babylon, with the valuable things from the house of Yahweh, and made Zedekiah, his relative, king over Judah and Jerusalem.
11 Sedesiasi azalaki na mibu tuku mibale na moko ya mbotama tango akomaki mokonzi, mpe akonzaki mibu zomi na moko na Yelusalemi.
Zedekiah was twenty-one years old when he began to reign; he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem.
12 Asalaki makambo mabe na miso ya Yawe, Nzambe na ye, mpe amikitisaki te liboso ya mosakoli Jeremi oyo azalaki koloba na Kombo na Yawe.
He did what was evil in the sight of Yahweh his God. He did not humble himself before Jeremiah the prophet, who spoke from the mouth of Yahweh.
13 Lisusu, atombokelaki mokonzi Nabukodonozori oyo alapisaki ye ndayi na Kombo ya Nzambe. Na esika ete azonga epai na Yawe, Nzambe ya Isalaele, akomaki moto makasi mpe akomisaki motema na ye libanga.
Zedekiah also rebelled against King Nebuchadnezzar, who had made him swear loyalty to him by God. But Zedekiah stiffened his neck and hardened his heart against turning to Yahweh, the God of Israel.
14 Bakonzi nyonso ya Banganga-Nzambe mpe bato bakomaki lisusu kosala mabe koleka, balandaki misala nyonso ya nkele ya bikolo ya bapaya mpe babebisaki bosantu ya Tempelo ya Yawe oyo Ye moko Yawe abulisaki na Yelusalemi.
Moreover, all the leaders of the priests and the people were extremely unfaithful, and they followed the disgusting practices of the nations. They polluted the house of Yahweh which he had consecrated in Jerusalem.
15 Yawe, Nzambe ya batata na bango, atindelaki bango, mbala na mbala mpe na ngonga malamu, makebisi na nzela ya bamemi sango na Ye, pamba te azalaki na posa ya kobatela bato na Ye mpe Tempelo na Ye.
Yahweh, the God of their ancestors, sent word to them by his messengers again and again, because he had compassion on his people and on the place where he lives.
16 Kasi bato ya Isalaele bazalaki kotiola bamemi sango ya Nzambe, bazalaki komona pamba makebisi na Ye mpe bazalaki kowolola basakoli na Ye kino Yawe kosilikela bato na Ye makasi; mpe bakokaki kosala eloko moko te mpo na komibikisa liboso ya kanda makasi ya Yawe.
But they mocked God's messengers, despised his words, and scoffed at his prophets, until the wrath of Yahweh arose against his people, until there was no help for it.
17 Boye, mpo na kobebisa bango, Yawe atindaki mokonzi ya bato ya Babiloni, oyo abomaki na mopanga bilenge na bango kati na esika na bango ya bule; abikisaki te ezala elenge mobali, elenge mwasi, mokolo to mobange. Nzambe akabaki nyonso na maboko ya Nabukodonozori.
So God brought on them the king of the Chaldeans, who killed their young men with the sword in the sanctuary, and had no compassion on young men or virgins, old men or the gray-haired. God gave them all into his hand.
18 Nabukodonozori amemaki na Babiloni biloko nyonso ya Tempelo ya Nzambe, ya minene to ya mike, bozwi ya Tempelo ya Yawe, bozwi ya mokonzi mpe ya bakalaka na ye.
All the furnishings of the house of God, great and small, the treasures of the house of Yahweh, and the treasures of the king and his officials—all these he took to Babylon.
19 Batumbaki na moto Tempelo ya Nzambe, babukaki mir ya Yelusalemi, batumbaki na moto bandako na yango ya kitoko mpe babebisaki biloko nyonso ya motuya.
They burned down the house of God, broke down the wall of Jerusalem, burned all its palaces, and destroyed all the beautiful things in it.
20 Nabukodonozori amemaki na Babiloni bato oyo babikaki na mopanga, akomisaki bango bawumbu na ye mpe ya bana na ye ya mibali kino na tango mokili ya Persi ezwaki bokonzi.
The king carried away to Babylon those who had escaped the sword. They became servants for him and his sons until the rule of the kingdom of Persia.
21 Ezalaki ndenge wana nde Liloba na Yawe ekokisamaki, liloba oyo alobaki na nzela ya mosakoli Jeremi: « Mokili ekozwa bopemi na mikolo nyonso oyo bakosundola yango, ekosepela na basaba na yango kino tango mibu tuku sambo ekokoka. »
This happened to fulfill the word of Yahweh by the mouth of Jeremiah, until the land should have enjoyed its Sabbath rests. It observed its Sabbath for as long as it lay abandoned, in order to pass seventy years in this way.
22 Na mobu ya liboso ya Sirisi, mokonzi ya Persi, Yawe alamusaki molimo ya Sirisi, mokonzi ya Persi, mpo na kokokisa liloba oyo alobaki na nzela ya mosakoli Jeremi mpo ete asakola mpe akoma boye kati na mokili na ye mobimba:
Now in the first year of Cyrus, king of Persia, so that the word of Yahweh by the mouth of Jeremiah might be carried out, Yahweh motivated the spirit of Cyrus, king of Persia, so that he made a proclamation throughout all his kingdom, and put it also in writing. He said,
23 « Tala makambo oyo Sirisi, mokonzi ya Persi, alobi: ‹ Yawe, Nzambe ya Likolo, apesi ngai babokonzi nyonso ya mabele mpe mokumba ya kotongela Ye Tempelo, na Yelusalemi kati na Yuda. Tika ete moto nyonso oyo, kati na bino, azali na molongo ya bato ya Yawe akende; pamba te Yawe, Nzambe na ye, azali elongo na ye! › »
“This is what Cyrus, king of Persia, says: Yahweh, the God of heaven, has given me all the kingdoms of the earth. He has commanded me to build a house for him in Jerusalem, which is in Judah. Whoever is among you from all his people, may Yahweh your God, be with you. Let him go up to the land.”
