2 Bakonzi 14
1 Na mobu ya mibale ya bokonzi ya Joasi, mwana mobali ya Yoakazi, mokonzi ya Isalaele, Amatsia, mwana mobali ya Joasi, mokonzi ya Yuda, akomaki mokonzi.
In the second year of Joash, son of Joahaz, king of Israel, Amaziah the son of Joash king of Judah began to reign.
2 Amatsia azalaki na mibu tuku mibale na mitano ya mbotama tango akomaki mokonzi, mpe akonzaki mibu tuku mibale na libwa na Yelusalemi. Kombo ya mama na ye ezalaki « Yeoyadani. » Yeoyadani azalaki moto ya Yelusalemi.
He was twenty-five years old when he began to reign; and he reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Jehoaddin of Jerusalem.
3 Amatsia asalaki makambo ya sembo na miso ya Yawe, kasi ezalaki te lokola Davidi, koko na ye. Na makambo nyonso, alandaki ndakisa ya Joasi, tata na ye.
He did that which was right in the LORD’s eyes, yet not like David his father. He did according to all that Joash his father had done.
4 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 burned incense in the high places.
5 Sima na Amatsia kolendisa bokonzi na ye, abomaki bakalaka oyo babomaki tata na ye.
As soon as the kingdom was established in his hand, he killed his servants who had slain the king his father,
6 Kasi abomaki te bana mibali ya babomi ya tata na ye, pamba te, kolanda ndenge ekomama kati na buku ya Mobeko ya Moyize, Yawe apesaki mitindo oyo: « Bakoboma batata te mpo na bana na bango to mpe bakoboma bana te mpo na batata na bango; bakoboma moto na moto mpo na masumu na ye moko. »
but the children of the murderers he didn’t put to death, according to that which is written in the scroll of the Torah of Moses, as the LORD commanded, saying, “The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, nor the children be put to death for the fathers; but every man shall die for his own sin.”
7 Ezali Amatsia nde moto alongaki bato ya Edomi, nkoto zomi na Lubwaku ya Mungwa, mpe abotolaki na bitumba engumba ya Sela; mpe abengaki yango « Yokiteyeli, » kombo oyo babengelaka yango kino lelo.
He killed ten thousand Edomites in the Valley of Salt, and took Sela by war, and called its name Joktheel, to this day.
8 Bongo Amatsia atindaki bantoma epai ya Joasi, mwana mobali ya Yoakazi mpe koko ya Jewu, mokonzi ya Isalaele, mpo na koyebisa ye: — Yaka tobunda!
Then Amaziah sent messengers to Jehoash, the son of Jehoahaz son of Jehu, king of Israel, saying, “Come, let’s look one another in the face.”
9 Kasi Joasi, mokonzi ya Isalaele, azongiselaki Amatsia, mokonzi ya Yuda: — Mokolo moko, nzete ya sende ya Libani etindaki maloba epai ya nzete ya sedele ya Libani: « Balisa mwana na yo ya mwasi epai ya mwana na ngai ya mobali. » Kasi nyama moko ya zamba elekaki mpe enyataki nzete ya sende.
Jehoash the king of Israel sent to Amaziah king of Judah, saying, “The thistle that was in Lebanon sent to the cedar that was in Lebanon, saying, ‘Give your daughter to my son as wife.’ Then a wild animal that was in Lebanon passed by, and trampled down the thistle.
10 Solo, olongi Edomi, mpe motema na yo ezali komikumisa. Sepela na yo, kasi vanda na ndako na yo. Mpo na nini koluka ete pasi makasi ekweyela yo elongo na Yuda?
You have indeed struck Edom, and your heart has lifted you up. Enjoy the glory of it, and stay at home; for why should you meddle to your harm, that you fall, even you, and Judah with you?”
11 Kasi Amatsia ayokaki ye te. Boye, Joasi, mokonzi ya Isalaele, akendeki kobundisa Amatsia, mokonzi ya Yuda. Ye mpe Amatsia, mokonzi ya Yuda, babundaki na Beti-Shemeshi kati na mokili ya Yuda.
But Amaziah would not listen. So Jehoash king of Israel went up; and he and Amaziah king of Judah looked one another in the face at Beth Shemesh, which belongs to Judah.
12 Isalaele alongaki Yuda, mpe bato ya Yuda bakimaki, moto na moto na ndako na ye.
Judah was defeated by Israel; and each man fled to his tent.
13 Joasi, mokonzi ya Isalaele, akangaki Amatsia, mokonzi ya Yuda, mwana mobali ya Joasi mpe koko ya Akazia, na Beti-Shemeshi. Boye Joasi akendeki na Yelusalemi mpe abukaki mir ya Yelusalemi, na molayi ya bametele pene nkama moko na tuku mwambe, longwa na ekuke ya Efrayimi kino na ekuke ya suka.
Jehoash king of Israel took Amaziah king of Judah, the son of Jehoash the son of Ahaziah, at Beth Shemesh and came to Jerusalem, then broke down the wall of Jerusalem from the gate of Ephraim to the corner gate, four hundred cubits.
14 Akamataki wolo nyonso, palata nyonso mpe biloko nyonso oyo ezalaki kati na Tempelo ya Yawe, kati na bibombelo ya ndako ya mokonzi; akangaki bato na bowumbu mpe azongaki na Samari.
He took all the gold and silver and all the vessels that were found in the LORD’s house and in the treasures of the king’s house, the hostages also, and returned to Samaria.
15 Makambo mosusu oyo etali bokonzi ya Joasi, misala na ye mpe elonga na ye tango abundisaki Amatsia, mokonzi ya Yuda, ekomama kati na buku ya masolo ya bakonzi ya Isalaele.
Now the rest of the acts of Jehoash which he did, and his might, and how he fought with Amaziah king of Judah, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
16 Joasi akendeki kokutana na bakoko na ye, mpe bakundaki ye na Samari esika moko na bakoko na ye, bakonzi ya Isalaele. Mpe Jeroboami, mwana na ye ya mobali, akitanaki na ye na bokonzi.
Jehoash slept with his fathers, and was buried in Samaria with the kings of Israel; and Jeroboam his son reigned in his place.
17 Amatsia, mwana mobali ya Joasi, mokonzi ya Yuda, awumelaki lisusu na bomoi mibu zomi na mitano sima na kufa ya Joasi, mwana mobali ya Yoakazi, mokonzi ya Isalaele.
Amaziah the son of Joash king of Judah lived after the death of Jehoash son of Jehoahaz, king of Israel, fifteen years.
18 Makambo mosusu oyo etali bokonzi ya Amatsia mpe misala na ye, ekomama kati na buku ya masolo ya bakonzi ya Yuda.
Now the rest of the acts of Amaziah, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
19 Basalelaki ye likita, na Yelusalemi, mpo na kotelemela ye, mpe akimaki na Lakishi. Kasi batindaki bato mpo ete balanda ye kino na Lakishi, mpe babomaki ye kuna.
They made a conspiracy against him in Jerusalem, and he fled to Lachish; but they sent after him to Lachish and killed him there.
20 Bamemaki nzoto na ye na likolo ya mpunda mpe bakundaki ye na Yelusalemi, esika moko na bakoko na ye kati na engumba ya Davidi.
They brought him on horses, and he was buried at Jerusalem with his fathers in David’s city.
21 Bato nyonso ya Yuda bakamataki Azaria oyo azalaki na mibu zomi na motoba ya mbotama mpe bakomisaki ye mokonzi na esika ya tata na ye, Amatsia.
All the people of Judah took Azariah, who was sixteen years old, and made him king in the place of his father Amaziah.
22 Ezalaki ye nde moto atongaki lisusu engumba ya Eyilati mpe azongisaki yango na Yuda sima na kufa ya tata na ye, mokonzi Amatsia.
He built Elath and restored it to Judah. After that the king slept with his fathers.
23 Tango Amatsia, mokonzi ya Yuda, mwana mobali ya Joasi, akokisaki mibu zomi na mitano na bokonzi, Jeroboami, mwana mobali ya Joasi, akomaki mokonzi ya Isalaele na Samari mpe akonzaki mibu tuku minei na moko.
In the fifteenth year of Amaziah the son of Joash king of Judah, Jeroboam the son of Joash king of Israel began to reign in Samaria for forty-one years.
24 Asalaki makambo mabe na miso ya Yawe mpe atikaki te masumu nyonso ya Jeroboami, mwana mobali ya Nebati, masumu oyo na nzela na yango akweyisaki Isalaele.
He did that which was evil in the LORD’s sight. He didn’t depart from all the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, with which he made Israel to sin.
25 Ezalaki ye nde moto abotolaki lisusu bamboka ya Isalaele longwa na Lebo-Amati kino na ebale monene ya Araba, kolanda Liloba na Yawe, Nzambe ya Isalaele, oyo alobaki na nzela ya mosali na Ye, mosakoli Yona, mwana mobali ya Amitayi, moto ya Gati-Eferi.
He restored the border of Israel from the entrance of Hamath to the sea of the Arabah, according to the LORD, the God of Israel’s word, which he spoke by his servant Jonah the son of Amittai, the prophet, who was from Gath Hepher.
26 Yawe amonaki ndenge nini bana nyonso ya Isalaele bazalaki konyokwama. Ezala bawumbu to bansomi, moto moko te akokaki kosunga bango.
For the LORD saw the affliction of Israel, that it was very bitter for all, slave and free; and there was no helper for Israel.
27 Lokola Yawe alobaki te ete akolimwisa kombo ya Isalaele na se ya moyi, abikisaki bango na nzela ya loboko ya Jeroboami, mwana mobali ya Joasi.
The LORD didn’t say that he would blot out the name of Israel from under the sky; but he saved them by the hand of Jeroboam the son of Joash.
28 Makambo mosusu oyo etali bokonzi ya Jeroboami, misala na ye nyonso mpe elonga na ye na bitumba, ezala ndenge azongisaki na se ya bokonzi ya Isalaele Damasi mpe Amati, bingumba mibale oyo ezalaki ya Yuda, nyonso wana ekomama kati na buku ya masolo ya bakonzi ya Isalaele.
Now the rest of the acts of Jeroboam, and all that he did, and his might, how he fought, and how he recovered Damascus, and Hamath, which had belonged to Judah, for Israel, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
29 Jeroboami akendeki kokutana na bakoko na ye, mpe bakundaki ye esika moko na bakoko na ye, bakonzi ya Isalaele; mpe Zakari, mwana na ye ya mobali, akitanaki na ye na bokonzi.
Jeroboam slept with his fathers, even with the kings of Israel; and Zechariah his son reigned in his place.
