2 Bakonzi 10
1 Akabi azalaki na bana mibali tuku sambo na Samari. Jewu akomaki mikanda mpe atindaki yango na Samari epai ya bakalaka ya Jizireyeli, epai ya bampaka mpe epai ya babateli ya bana ya Akabi. Na mikanda yango, Jewu alobaki:
Now Ahab had seventy sons in Samaria. Jehu wrote letters and sent them to Samaria, to the rulers of Jezreel, even the elders, and to those who brought up Ahab’s sons, saying,
2 « Tango kaka mokanda oyo ekokomela bino, lokola bana mibali ya mokonzi na bino bazali elongo na bino, mpe lokola bozali na bashar mpe bampunda, engumba ya makasi mpe bibundeli,
“Now as soon as this letter comes to you, since your master’s sons are with you, and you have chariots and horses, a fortified city also, and armor,
3 bopona mwana mobali oyo aleki malamu mpe mayele kati na bana mibali ya mokonzi na bino, botia ye na kiti ya bokonzi ya tata na ye, mpe bobunda mpo na ndako ya mokonzi na bino. »
select the best and fittest of your master’s sons, set him on his father’s throne, and fight for your master’s house.”
4 Kasi babangaki makasi mpe balobaki: « Soki kutu bakonzi mibale bakokaki te kobunda na ye, bongo ndenge nini biso tokobunda na ye? »
But they were exceedingly afraid, and said, “Behold, the two kings didn’t stand before him! How then shall we stand?”
5 Boye, mobateli biloko ya ndako ya mokonzi, moyangeli ya engumba, bampaka mpe babateli ya bana ya mokonzi batindaki sango oyo epai ya Jewu: « Tozali basali na yo mpe tokosala nyonso oyo okoloba. Tokotia moto mosusu te lokola mokonzi, tokosala nyonso oyo okomona malamu. »
He who was over the household, and he who was over the city, the elders also, and those who raised the children, sent to Jehu, saying, “We are your servants, and will do all that you ask us. We will not make any man king. You do that which is good in your eyes.”
6 Boye, Jewu akomelaki bango mokanda ya mibale oyo kati na yango alobaki: « Soki bozali na ngambo na ngai mpe bokotosa ngai, bozwa mito ya bana mibali nyonso ya mokonzi na bino mpe boya na yango epai na ngai, na Jizireyeli, lobi na tongo. » Nzokande bana mibali tuku sambo ya mokonzi bazalaki epai ya bato ya lokumu ya engumba, oyo bazalaki kobokola bango.
Then he wrote a letter the second time to them, saying, “If you are on my side, and if you will listen to my voice, take the heads of the men who are your master’s sons, and come to me to Jezreel by tomorrow this time.” Now the king’s sons, being seventy persons, were with the great men of the city, who brought them up.
7 Tango mokanda ekomaki, bato wana bazwaki bana mibali ya mokonzi, babomaki bango nyonso tuku sambo, batiaki mito na bango na bitunga mpe batindaki yango epai ya Jewu, na Jizireyeli.
When the letter came to them, they took the king’s sons and killed them, even seventy people, and put their heads in baskets, and sent them to him to Jezreel.
8 Ntoma moko akomaki mpe alobaki na Jewu: — Bamemi mito ya bana mibali ya mokonzi. Bongo Jewu apesaki mitindo: — Botia yango na mipiku mibale na ekuke ya engumba kino na tongo.
A messenger came and told him, “They have brought the heads of the king’s sons.” He said, “Lay them in two heaps at the entrance of the gate until the morning.”
9 Na tongo ya mokolo oyo elandaki, Jewu abimaki, atelemaki liboso ya bato nyonso mpe alobaki: — Bosali na bino mabe te. Ezalaki ngai nde nasalelaki nkolo na ngai likita mpo na kotelemela ye mpe koboma ye; kasi nani abomi bato oyo nyonso?
In the morning, he went out and stood, and said to all the people, “You are righteous. Behold, I conspired against my master and killed him, but who killed all these?
10 Boyeba ete liloba moko te oyo Yawe alobaki mpo na kotelemela ndako ya Akabi ekozanga kokokisama. Yawe akokisi makambo oyo alobaki na nzela ya mosali na Ye, Eliya.
Know now that nothing will fall to the earth of the LORD’s word, which the LORD spoke concerning Ahab’s house. For the LORD has done that which he spoke by his servant Elijah.”
11 Boye Jewu abomaki bato nyonso ya ndako ya Akabi, oyo batikalaki na Jizireyeli: bato na ye nyonso ya lokumu, baninga na ye, Banganga-Nzambe na ye. Atikaki ata moto na ye moko te na bomoi.
So Jehu struck all that remained of Ahab’s house in Jezreel, with all his great men, his familiar friends, and his priests, until he left him no one remaining.
12 Jewu atelemaki mpe akendeki na Samari. Na Beti-Ekedi-Aron,
He arose and departed, and went to Samaria. As he was at the shearing house of the shepherds on the way,
13 Jewu akutanaki na bandeko ya Akazia, mokonzi ya kala ya Yuda, mpe atunaki bango: — Bozali banani? Bazongisaki: — Tozali bandeko ya Akazia. Toyei kopesa bana mibali ya mokonzi mpe mama ya mokonzi mbote.
Jehu met with the brothers of Ahaziah king of Judah, and said, “Who are you?” They answered, “We are the brothers of Ahaziah. We are going down to greet the children of the king and the children of the queen.”
14 Jewu apesaki mitindo: — Bokanga bango ya bomoi. Boye bakangaki bango ya bomoi mpe bakataki bango bakingo, pene ya libulu ya Beti-Ekedi. Bazalaki mibali tuku minei na mibale, mpe Jewu atikaki moto moko te na bomoi.
He said, “Take them alive!” They took them alive, and killed them at the pit of the shearing house, even forty-two men. He didn’t leave any of them.
15 Tango alongwaki kuna mpe akutanaki na Yonadabi, mwana mobali ya Rekabi, oyo abandaki koya kokutana na ye, Jewu apesaki ye mbote mpe alobaki: — Boni, motema na yo ezali sembo mpo na ngai, ndenge motema na ngai ezali mpo na yo? Yonadabi azongisaki: — Iyo, ezali bongo! Jewu alobaki: — Soki ezali bongo, pesa ngai loboko na yo. Boye, Yonadabi asalaki bongo, mpe Jewu asungaki ye mpo na komata na shar.
When he had departed from there, he met Jehonadab the son of Rechab coming to meet him. He greeted him, and said to him, “Is your heart right, as my heart is with your heart?” Jehonadab answered, “It is.” “If it is, give me your hand.” He gave him his hand; and he took him up to him into the chariot.
16 Jewu alobaki: — Yaka elongo na ngai, mpe okomona bolingo makasi na ngai mpo na Yawe. Boye, Jewu amemaki ye na shar na ye.
He said, “Come with me, and see my zeal for the LORD.” So they made him ride in his chariot.
17 Tango Jewu akomaki na Samari, abomaki bato nyonso ya libota ya Akabi, oyo batikalaki kuna. Jewu abomaki bango kolanda Liloba na Yawe oyo alobaki na nzela ya Eliya.
When he came to Samaria, he struck all who remained to Ahab in Samaria, until he had destroyed them, according to the LORD’s word which he spoke to Elijah.
18 Jewu abengisaki bato nyonso mpe alobaki na bango: « Akabi azalaki kosalela Bala mingi te, kasi Jewu akosalela ye mingi.
Jehu gathered all the people together, and said to them, “Ahab served Baal a little, but Jehu will serve him much.
19 Sik’oyo, bobengisa basakoli nyonso ya Bala, basambeli na ye nyonso mpe banganga-nzambe na ye nyonso. Bosala ete moto moko te azanga, pamba te nakobonza mbeka ya monene mpo na Bala. Moto nyonso oyo akozanga, akokufa. » Jewu asalelaki mayele mabe mpo na koboma basambeli ya Bala.
Now therefore call to me all the prophets of Baal, all of his worshipers, and all of his priests. Let no one be absent, for I have a great sacrifice to Baal. Whoever is absent, he shall not live.” But Jehu did deceptively, intending to destroy the worshipers of Baal.
20 Jewu alobaki: « Bobengisa mayangani mpo na lokumu ya Bala. » Boye babengisaki mayangani yango.
Jehu said, “Sanctify a solemn assembly for Baal!” So they proclaimed it.
21 Jewu apanzaki sango kati na Isalaele, basambeli nyonso ya Bala bayaki mpe moto moko te azangaki. Bakotaki ebele na ndako ya nzambe Bala mpe batondisaki yango kino na basuka nyonso.
Jehu sent through all Israel; and all the worshipers of Baal came, so that there was not a man left that didn’t come. They came into the house of Baal; and the house of Baal was filled from one end to another.
22 Jewu alobaki na mobateli bilamba ya bonganga-nzambe ya Bala: « Yaka na bilamba mpo na basambeli nyonso ya Bala. » Boye abimisaki bilamba mpo na bango.
He said to him who kept the wardrobe, “Bring out robes for all the worshipers of Baal!” So he brought robes out to them.
23 Bongo Jewu elongo na Yonadabi, mwana mobali ya Rekabi, bakotaki na ndako ya nzambe Bala. Jewu alobaki na basambeli ya Bala: « Botala malamu-malamu na zingazinga na bino mpo ete basali ya Yawe bazala elongo na bino te, kaka basali ya Bala. »
Jehu went with Jehonadab the son of Rechab into the house of Baal. Then he said to the worshipers of Baal, “Search, and see that none of the servants of the LORD are here with you, but only the worshipers of Baal.”
24 Bakotaki mpo na kobongisa bambeka mpe batumbaki yango. Nzokande, Jewu atiaki bato tuku mwambe libanda na likebisi oyo: « Soki moto moko kati na bino akimisi moko kati na bato oyo napesi na maboko na bino, akofuta bomoi na ye na motuya ya bomoi ya moto oyo akimi. »
So they went in to offer sacrifices and burnt offerings. Now Jehu had appointed for himself eighty men outside, and said, “If any of the men whom I bring into your hands escape, he who lets him go, his life shall be for the life of him.”
25 Tango kaka Jewu asilisaki kobongisa mbeka ya kotumba, apesaki mitindo epai na bakengeli mpe na bakambi na bango: « Bokota mpe boboma bango. Bokimisa moto moko te. » Boye, babomaki bango na mopanga. Bakengeli mpe bakonzi ya basoda babwakaki bibembe na libanda mpe bakotaki kino na esika ya bule ya ndako ya nzambe Bala.
As soon as he had finished offering the burnt offering, Jehu said to the guard and to the captains, “Go in and kill them! Let no one escape.” So they struck them with the edge of the sword. The guard and the captains threw the bodies out, and went to the inner shrine of the house of Baal.
26 Babimisaki libanga ya bule na libanda ya ndako ya nzambe Bala mpe batumbaki yango.
They brought out the pillars that were in the house of Baal and burned them.
27 Babukaki libanga yango ya bule, bakweyisaki ndako ya nzambe Bala mpe bakomisaki yango zongo kino na mokolo ya lelo.
They broke down the pillar of Baal, and broke down the house of Baal, and made it a latrine, to this day.
28 Ezali bongo nde Jewu asukisaki losambo ya Bala kati na Isalaele.
Thus Jehu destroyed Baal out of Israel.
29 Kasi Jewu atikaki te masumu ya Jeroboami, mwana mobali ya Nebati, oyo, na nzela na yango, akweyisaki Isalaele na lisumu. Lisumu yango ezali: kosambela bikeko ya bangombe ya wolo, na Beteli mpe na Dani.
However, Jehu didn’t depart from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, with which he made Israel to sin—the golden calves that were in Bethel and that were in Dan.
30 Yawe alobaki na Jewu: « Lokola osali malamu mpo na kokokisa oyo ezali sembo na miso na Ngai, mpe lokola osali na libota ya Akabi nyonso oyo nakanaki kosala, bakitani na yo bakovanda na kiti ya bokonzi ya Isalaele kino na molongo ya minei. »
The LORD said to Jehu, “Because you have done well in executing that which is right in my eyes, and have done to Ahab’s house according to all that was in my heart, your descendants shall sit on the throne of Israel to the fourth generation.”
31 Nzokande, Jewu asalaki bokebi te mpo na kobatela mibeko ya Yawe, Nzambe ya Isalaele, na motema na ye mobimba. Atikaki te masumu ya Jeroboami oyo, na nzela na yango, akweyisaki Isalaele na lisumu.
But Jehu took no heed to walk in the law of the LORD, the God of Israel, with all his heart. He didn’t depart from the sins of Jeroboam, with which he made Israel to sin.
32 Na tango wana, Yawe abandaki kokomisa moke bandelo ya Isalaele. Azaeli alongaki bana ya Isalaele, na mokili na bango,
In those days the LORD began to cut away parts of Israel; and Hazael struck them in all the borders of Israel
33 na este ya Yordani, na etuka nyonso ya Galadi (mabele ya libota ya Gadi, ya Ribeni mpe ya Manase), longwa na Aroeri oyo ezali pembeni ya moluka ya Arinoni kino na Galadi mpe Bashani.
from the Jordan eastward, all the land of Gilead, the Gadites, and the Reubenites, and the Manassites, from Aroer, which is by the valley of the Arnon, even Gilead and Bashan.
34 Makambo mosusu oyo etali bokonzi ya Jewu, misala na ye nyonso mpe elonga na ye ekomama kati na buku ya masolo ya bakonzi ya Isalaele.
Now the rest of the acts of Jehu, and all that he did, and all his might, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
35 Jewu akendeki kokutana na bakoko na ye, mpe bakundaki ye na Samari. Bongo Yoakazi, mwana na ye ya mobali, akitanaki na ye na bokonzi.
Jehu slept with his fathers; and they buried him in Samaria. Jehoahaz his son reigned in his place.
36 Jewu akonzaki Isalaele, na Samari mibu tuku mibale na mwambe.
The time that Jehu reigned over Israel in Samaria was twenty-eight years.
