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.

In the seventh year of Jehu became Jehoash king; and forty years did he reign in Jerusalem; and the name of his mother was Zibyah of Beer-sheba'.

2 Joasi asalaki makambo ya malamu na miso ya Yawe na mikolo nyonso oyo Nganga-Nzambe Yeoyada azalaki koteya ye.

And Jehoash did what is right in the eyes of the Lord all his days, that Yehoyada' the priest instructed him.

3 Nzokande, balongolaki te bisambelo ya likolo ya bangomba; bato bakobaki kaka kobonza kuna bambeka mpe kotumba ansa.

Only the high-places were not removed: the people as yet sacrificed and burnt incense on 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 Jehoash said to the priests, all the money of the dedicated things that may be brought into the house of the Lord, the money of every one that passeth the numbering, the money any man is valued at, and all the money that cometh into any man's heart to bring into the house of the Lord,

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. »

The priests shall take to themselves, every man from his acquaintance; and they shall repair the breaches of the house, wheresoever any breach may 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 happened, that in the three and twentieth year of king Jehoash the priests had not repaired the breaches 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 called king Jehoash for Yehoyada' the priest, and the [other] priests, and he said unto them, Wherefore do ye not repair the breaches of the house? and now ye shall take no more money from your acquaintances, but ye shall give it up [at once] for the breaches of the house.

8 Banganga-Nzambe bandimaki kotika kokongola mbongo na maboko ya bato mpe kotika kobongisa Ndako ya Nzambe.

And the priests consented neither to take any more money from the people, nor to repair the breaches 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 Yehoyada' the priest took a chest, and bored a hole in its lid, and he placed it beside the altar, on the right side as one cometh into the house of the Lord: and the priests that kept watch at the threshold put therein all the money, that was brought into the house of the Lord.

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 happened, 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, after having counted, the money that was found in the house of the Lord.

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, after it was counted, into the hands of those who overlooked the workmen, that had been appointed as overseers of the house of the Lord: and they laid it out to the carpenters and to the builders, that wrought on the house of the Lord,

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 the purchase of timber and hewn stones to repair the breaches of the house of the Lord, 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.

Nevertheless there were not made for the house of the Lord bowls of silver, knives, basins, trumpets, all kinds of vessels of gold, or vessels of silver, from the money that was brought into the house of the Lord;

14 Mbongo yango ezalaki bobele mpo na kofuta basali oyo bazalaki kobongisa Ndako ya Yawe.

But they gave it to those who overlooked the workmen, and they repaired therewith the house of the Lord.

15 Bazalaki kolandela te mbongo oyo bapesaki na bato mpo na kofuta basali, pamba te bazalaki kosalela yango na bosembo.

And they reckoned not with the men, into whose hand they delivered the money to give it to those who overlooked the workmen; for they acted in good faith.

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 trespass-offerings and the money for sin-offerings was not brought into the house of the Lord: it belonged to the priests.

17 Na tango wana, Azaeli, mokonzi ya Siri, akendeki kobundisa engumba Gati mpe abotolaki yango. Sima, Azaeli abalukaki mpo na kobundisa Yelusalemi.

At that time Chazael the king of Syria went up, and fought against Gath, and captured it: and Chazael directed his face to go up against 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.

Then took Jehoash the king of Judah all the hallowed things that Jehoshaphat, Jehoram, and Achazyahu, his fathers, the kings of Judah, had dedicated, and his own hallowed things, and all the gold that was found in the treasures of the house of the Lord, and in the king's house, and sent it to Chazael the king of Syria: and he withdrew 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.

And the rest of the acts of Joash, and all that he did, behold, they are 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 formed a conspiracy, and smote Joash in Beth-millo, which [lieth on the road] that goeth 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.

And Yozachar the son of Shim'ath, and Yehozabad the son of Shomer, his servants, smote him, and he died; and they buried him with his fathers in the city of David: and Amazyah his son became king in his stead.
