2 Bakonzi 12
1 Ezalaki tango Jewu akokisaki mibu sambo na bokonzi nde Joasi akomaki mokonzi. Joasi akonzaki mibu tuku minei na Yelusalemi. Kombo ya mama na ye ezalaki « Tsibia. » Tsibia azalaki moto ya Beri-Sheba.
Joash began to reign in the seventh year of Jehu. And he reigned forty years in Jerusalem, and his mother's name was Zibiah of Beersheba.
2 Joasi asalaki makambo ya malamu na miso ya Yawe na mikolo nyonso oyo Nganga-Nzambe Yeoyada azalaki koteya ye.
And Joash did that which was right in the eyes of Jehovah all his days in which Jehoiada the priest instructed him.
3 Nzokande, balongolaki te bisambelo ya likolo ya bangomba; bato bakobaki kaka kobonza kuna bambeka mpe kotumba ansa.
However the high places were not taken away; the people still sacrificed and burnt incense in the high places.
4 Joasi alobaki na Banganga-Nzambe: « Bosangisa mbongo nyonso oyo bamemi lokola makabo ya bule kati na Tempelo ya Yawe: mbongo oyo bazwi na nzela ya kotanga bato, mbongo oyo bazwi lokola mpako mpo na kosikola bato kolanda motuya oyo ekatama, mpe mbongo oyo moto na moto apesi na Ndako ya Nzambe na motema ya esengo.
And Joash said to the priests, All the money of the hallowed things that is brought into the house of Jehovah, in current money, the money of the persons for whom each man is rated, and all the money that it comes into any man's heart to bring into the house of Jehovah,
5 Tika ete Nganga-Nzambe moko na moko akamata mbongo na maboko ya babombi mbongo mpe basalela yango mpo na kobongisa eloko nyonso oyo ebebi kati na Ndako ya Nzambe. »
let the priests take it to them, every man from his acquaintance, and they shall repair the broken parts of the house wherever any breach shall be found.
6 Kasi tango mokonzi Joasi akokisaki mibu pene tuku mibale na misato na bokonzi, Banganga-Nzambe babongisaki nanu Ndako ya Nzambe te.
But it was so, that in the twenty-third year of king Joash the priests had not repaired the broken parts of the house.
7 Boye, mokonzi Joasi abengisaki Nganga-Nzambe Yeoyada mpe Banganga-Nzambe mosusu. Atunaki bango: « Mpo na nini bozali kobongisa te biloko oyo ebebi kati na Ndako ya Nzambe? Sik’oyo, bokozwa lisusu mbongo te na maboko ya babombi mbongo na bino, kasi botika yango mpo na kobongisa Ndako ya Nzambe. »
Then king Joash called for Jehoiada the priest, and for the other priests, and said to them, Why do ye not repair the broken parts of the house? Now therefore take no more money from your acquaintance, but deliver it for the broken parts of the house.
8 Banganga-Nzambe bandimaki kotika kokongola mbongo na maboko ya bato mpe kotika kobongisa Ndako ya Nzambe.
And the priests consented that they should take no more money from the people, neither repair the broken parts of the house.
9 Nganga-Nzambe Yeoyada akamataki sanduku moko mpe atobolaki mofinuku na yango. Atiaki sanduku pembeni ya etumbelo, na ngambo ya loboko ya mobali tango ozali kokota kati na Tempelo ya Yawe. Banganga-Nzambe oyo bazalaki kobatela ekuke batiaki kati na sanduku mbongo nyonso oyo bazalaki komema na Tempelo ya Yawe.
But Jehoiada the priest took a chest, and bored a hole in the lid of it, and set it beside the altar, on the right side as a man comes into the house of Jehovah. And the priests who kept the threshold put in it all the money that was brought into the house of Jehovah.
10 Tango nyonso bazalaki komona ete mbongo ekomi ebele kati na sanduku, mokomi mikanda ya mokonzi elongo na mokonzi ya Banganga-Nzambe bazalaki koya kotanga mbongo oyo bato bazalaki komema na Tempelo ya Yawe; bongo bazalaki kotia yango na basaki.
And it was so, when they saw that there was much money in the chest, that the king's scribe and the high priest came up, and they put up in bags and counted the money that was found in the house of Jehovah.
11 Soki bayebi motuya na yango, bazalaki kopesa mbongo yango epai ya bato oyo bazalaki kosalisa misala kati na Ndako ya Nzambe. Na mbongo yango, bazalaki kofuta bato oyo bazalaki kosala kati na Tempelo ya Yawe: basharipantie,
And they gave the money that was weighed out into the hands of those who did the work, who had the oversight of the house of Jehovah. And they paid it out to the carpenters and the builders who worked upon the house of Jehovah,
12 batongi ndako mpe bato oyo bakataka mabanga. Bazalaki kosomba mpo na kobongisa Ndako ya Nzambe: mabaya mpe mabanga bakata. Bazalaki mpe kobimisa mbongo mpo na misala mosusu ya kobongisa Tempelo ya Yawe.
and to the masons and the hewers of stone, and for buying timber and hewn stone to repair the broken parts of the house of Jehovah, and for all that was laid out for the house to repair it.
13 Kasi bazalaki kobimisa te mbongo oyo bazalaki komema na Ndako ya Nzambe, mpo na kosalela basani ya minene ya palata, bambeli, basani oyo babwakelaka na yango mayi, bakelelo mpe biloko mosusu oyo esalemi na wolo to na palata mpo na Tempelo ya Yawe.
But there were not made for the house of Jehovah cups of silver, snuffers, basins, trumpets, any vessels of gold, or vessels of silver, of the money that was brought into the house of Jehovah,
14 Mbongo yango ezalaki bobele mpo na kofuta basali oyo bazalaki kobongisa Ndako ya Yawe.
for they gave that to those who did the work, and with it repaired the house of Jehovah.
15 Bazalaki kolandela te mbongo oyo bapesaki na bato mpo na kofuta basali, pamba te bazalaki kosalela yango na bosembo.
Moreover they did not reckon with the men into whose hand they delivered the money to give to those who did the work, for they dealt faithfully.
16 Bazalaki komema te na Tempelo ya Yawe, mbongo oyo ewutaki na makabo ya kimia mpe na mbeka mpo na masumu; yango ezalaki mpo na Banganga-Nzambe.
The money for the trespass offerings, and the money for the sin offerings, was not brought into the house of Jehovah; it was the priests'.
17 Na tango wana, Azaeli, mokonzi ya Siri, akendeki kobundisa engumba Gati mpe abotolaki yango. Sima, Azaeli abalukaki mpo na kobundisa Yelusalemi.
Then Hazael king of Syria went up, and fought against Gath, and took it. And Hazael set his face to go up to Jerusalem.
18 Kasi Joasi, mokonzi ya Yuda, azwaki biloko nyonso ya bule oyo bakoko na ye —Jozafati, Yorami mpe Akazia, bakonzi ya Yuda— babulisaki. Joasi azwaki mpe bakado oyo ye moko abulisaki mpe wolo nyonso oyo amonaki kati na bibombelo ya bozwi ya Tempelo ya Yawe mpe na ndako ya mokonzi. Atindaki yango epai ya Azaeli, mokonzi ya Siri. Sima na yango, Azaeli akendeki mosika ya Yelusalemi.
And Joash king of Judah took all the hallowed things that Jehoshaphat and Jehoram and Ahaziah, his fathers, kings of Judah, had dedicated, and his own hallowed things, and all the gold that was found in the treasures of the house of Jehovah, and of the king's house, and sent it to Hazael king of Syria. And he went away from Jerusalem.
19 Makambo mosusu oyo etali bokonzi ya Joasi mpe misala na ye nyonso, ekomama kati na buku ya masolo ya bakonzi ya Yuda.
Now the rest of the acts of Joash, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
20 Basali na ye batombokelaki ye mpe basalelaki ye likita. Babomaki Joasi, na Beti-Milo, na nzela oyo ekenda na Sila.
And his servants arose, and made a conspiracy, and smote Joash at the house of Millo, on the way that goes down to Silla.
21 Tala bakombo ya basali oyo babomaki Joasi: Yozabadi, mwana mobali ya Shimeati, mpe Yeozabadi, mwana mobali ya Shomeri. Joasi akufaki mpe bakundaki ye esika moko na bakoko na ye kati na engumba ya Davidi. Amatsia, mwana na ye ya mobali, akitanaki na ye na bokonzi.
For Jozacar the son of Shimeath, and Jehozabad the son of Shomer, his servants, smote him, and he died. And they buried him with his fathers in the city of David. And Amaziah his son reigned in his stead.
