2 Bakonzi 13
1 Na mobu ya tuku mibale na misato ya bokonzi ya Joasi, mwana mobali ya Akazia, mokonzi ya Yuda, Yoakazi, mwana mobali ya Jewu, akomaki mokonzi ya Isalaele kati na Samari. Akonzaki mibu zomi na sambo.
In the twenty-third year of Joash, the son of Ahaziah, king of Judah, Jehoahaz, the son of Jehu, became king over Israel in Samaria, ruling for seventeen years.
2 Asalaki makambo mabe na miso ya Yawe, wana alandaki masumu ya Jeroboami, mwana mobali ya Nebati. Jeroboami akweyisaki na yango Isalaele na lisumu, mpe Yoakazi atikaki te lisumu yango.
He did evil in the eyes of the Lord, copying the sins of Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, which he did and made Israel do; he did not keep himself from them.
3 Boye kanda ya Yawe epelaki likolo ya Isalaele, mpe akabaki Isalaele na maboko ya Azaeli, mokonzi ya Siri, mpe ya Beni-Adadi, mwana na ye ya mobali.
So the wrath of the Lord was burning against Israel, and he gave them up into the power of Hazael, king of Aram, and into the power of Ben-hadad, the son of Hazael, again and again.
4 Kasi Yoakazi abondelaki Yawe mpo ete asalela ye ngolu, mpe Yawe ayokaki ye, pamba te Yawe amonaki ndenge nini mokonzi ya Siri azalaki konyokola Isalaele.
Then Jehoahaz made prayer to the Lord, and the Lord gave ear to him, for he saw how cruelly Israel was crushed by the king of Aram.
5 Yawe apesaki mokangoli mpo na bato ya Isalaele, mpe balongwaki na se ya nguya ya bato ya Siri. Boye bato ya Isalaele bavandaki na bandako na bango ndenge ezalaki liboso.
(And the Lord gave Israel a saviour, so that they became free from the hands of the Aramaeans; and the children of Israel were living in their tents as in the past.
6 Kasi batikaki te masumu ya libota ya Jeroboami oyo akweyisaki na yango Isalaele. Bakobaki kaka na yango; mpe ekeko ya nzambe mwasi Ashera etikalaki kaka ya kotelema kati na Samari.
But still they did not give up the sin of Jeroboam, which he made Israel do, but went on with it; and there was an image of Asherah in Samaria.)
7 Kati na mampinga nyonso ya Yoakazi, etikalaki kaka na mibali tuku mitano oyo batambolisaka bampunda, bashar zomi, mpe basoda oyo batambolaka na makolo, nkoto zomi, pamba te mokonzi ya Siri abomaki bamosusu oyo batikalaki, mpe akomisaki bango lokola putulu oyo banyataka na makolo.
For out of all his army, Jehoahaz had only fifty horsemen and ten carriages and ten thousand footmen; the king of Aram had given them up to destruction, crushing them like dust.
8 Makambo mosusu oyo etali bokonzi ya Yoakazi mpe misala na ye nyonso, ekomama kati na buku ya masolo ya bakonzi ya Isalaele.
Now the rest of the acts of Jehoahaz, and all he did, and his great power, are they not recorded in the book of the history of the kings of Israel?
9 Yoakazi akendeki kokutana na bakoko na ye, mpe bakundaki ye na Samari. Bongo Joasi, mwana na ye ya mobali, akitanaki na ye na bokonzi.
And Jehoahaz went to rest with his fathers, and was put into the earth in Samaria; and Joash his son became king in his place.
10 Na mobu ya tuku misato na sambo ya bokonzi ya Joasi, mokonzi ya Yuda, Joasi, mwana mobali ya Yoakazi, akomaki mokonzi ya Isalaele kati na Samari. Akonzaki mibu zomi na motoba.
In the thirty-seventh year of the rule of Joash, king of Judah, Joash, the son of Jehoahaz, became king over Israel in Samaria, ruling for sixteen years.
11 Asalaki makambo mabe na miso ya Yawe mpe atikaki te masumu nyonso ya Jeroboami, mwana mobali ya Nebati, oyo akweyisaki na yango Isalaele. Joasi akobaki kaka na masumu yango.
He did evil in the eyes of the Lord, not turning away from the sin of Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, which he did and made Israel do, but he went on with it.
12 Makambo mosusu oyo etali bokonzi ya Joasi mpe misala na ye nyonso, bakisa bitumba oyo abundisaki Amatsia, mokonzi ya Yuda, ekomama kati na buku ya masolo ya bakonzi ya Isalaele.
Now the rest of the acts of Joash, and all he did, and the force with which he went to war against Amaziah, king of Judah, are they not recorded in the book of the history of the kings of Israel?
13 Joasi akendeki kokutana na bakoko na ye, mpe Jeroboami akitanaki na ye na bokonzi. Bakundaki Joasi kati na Samari esika moko na bakonzi ya Isalaele.
And Joash went to rest with his fathers and Jeroboam took his place as king; and Joash was put into the earth in Samaria with the kings of Israel.
14 Elize abelaki bokono oyo ememaki ye na kufa. Joasi, mokonzi ya Isalaele, akendeki kotala ye mpe alelaki na miso na ye na maloba oyo: — Tata na ngai! Tata na ngai! Ozali bashar mpe bampunda ya Isalaele!
Now Elisha became ill with the disease which was the cause of his death: and Joash, king of Israel, came down to him, and weeping over him said, My father, my father, the war-carriages of Israel and its horsemen!
15 Elize alobaki na ye: — Zwa tolotolo moko mpe ndambo ya makonga ya mike. Joasi asalaki bongo.
Then Elisha said to him, Take bow and arrows: and he took bow and arrows.
16 Bongo Elize alobaki na mokonzi ya Isalaele: — Simba tolotolo na maboko na yo. Tango Joasi asimbaki tolotolo, Elize atiaki maboko na ye na likolo ya maboko ya mokonzi.
And he said to the king of Israel, Put your hand on the bow: and he put his hand on it; and Elisha put his hands on the king's hands.
17 Elize alobaki: — Fungola lininisa oyo ezali na ngambo ya este. Joasi afungolaki yango. Elize alobaki: — Beta! Joasi abetaki. Elize alobaki: — Ezali likonga ya elonga ya Yawe, likonga ya elonga liboso ya bato ya Siri. Okosilisa bato ya Siri, na Afeki.
Then he said; Let the window be open to the east: and he got it open. Then Elisha said, Let the arrow go; and he let it go. And he said, The Lord's arrow of salvation, of salvation over Aram; for you will overcome the Aramaeans in Aphek and put an end to them.
18 Bongo Elize abakisaki: — Zwa makonga. Mokonzi azwaki yango. Elize alobaki na mokonzi ya Isalaele: — Beta yango na mabele. Joasi abetaki yango mbala misato mpe atikaki.
And he said, Take the arrows: and he took them. And he said to the king of Israel, Send them down into the earth; and he did so three times and no more.
19 Moto na Nzambe asilikelaki ye mpe alobaki: — Ebongaki na yo kobeta yango na mabele mbala mitano to mbala motoba, boye olingaki kolonga bato ya Siri mpe kosilisa bango nye. Kasi sik’oyo, okolonga bato ya Siri kaka mbala misato.
Then the man of God was angry with him and said, If you had done it five or six times, then you would have overcome Aram completely; but now you will only overcome them three times.
20 Elize akufaki, mpe bakundaki ye. Nzokande masanga ya bato mabe ya Moabi bazalaki kokota na mokili ya Isalaele na ebandeli ya mibu nyonso.
And death came to Elisha and they put his body into the earth. Now in the spring of the year, armed bands of Moabites frequently came, overrunning the land.
21 Mokolo moko, tango bazalaki kokunda moto moko, bamonaki na mbalakata lisanga moko ya bato mabe. Bongo, babwakaki na lombangu ebembe ya moto yango kati na kunda ya Elize. Tango ebembe etutaki mikuwa ya Elize, moto yango azongaki na bomoi mpe atelemaki.
And while they were putting a dead man into the earth, they saw a band coming; and they put the man quickly into the place where Elisha's body was; and the dead man, on touching Elisha's bones, came to life again, and got up on his feet.
22 Azaeli, mokonzi ya Siri, anyokolaki Isalaele, na tango ya bokonzi ya Yoakazi.
And Israel was crushed under the power of Hazael, king of Aram, all the days of Jehoahaz.
23 Kasi Yawe asalelaki bango ngolu, ayokelaki bango mawa, mpe azongelaki bango, mpo na boyokani na Ye elongo na Abrayami, Izaki mpe Jakobi. Na tango wana, Yawe alingaki koboma bango te mpe aboyaki kobengana bango mosika ya miso na Ye.
But the Lord was kind to them and had pity on them, caring for them, because of his agreement with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; he would not put them to destruction or send them away from before his face till now.
24 Azaeli, mokonzi ya Siri, akufaki, mpe Beni-Adadi, mwana na ye ya mobali, akitanaki na ye na bokonzi.
Then Hazael, king of Aram, came to his end; and Ben-hadad his son became king in his place.
25 Bongo Joasi, mwana mobali ya Yoakazi, abotolaki na maboko ya Beni-Adadi, mwana ya Azaeli, bingumba oyo Azaeli abotolaki na bitumba epai ya Yoakazi, tata ya Joasi. Joasi alongaki Azaeli mbala misato mpe abotolaki bingumba ya Isalaele.
And Jehoash, the son of Jehoahaz, took again from Ben-hadad, the son of Hazael, the towns which he had taken from Jehoahaz his father in war. Three times Jehoash overcame him and got back the towns of Israel.
