2 Bakonzi 16
1 Na mobu ya zomi na sambo ya bokonzi ya Peka, mwana mobali ya Remalia, Akazi, mwana mobali ya Yotami, mokonzi ya Yuda, akomaki mokonzi.
In the seventeenth year of Pekach the son of Remalyahu, became Achaz, the son of Jotham the king of Judah, king.
2 Akazi azalaki na mibu tuku mibale ya mbotama tango akomaki mokonzi, mpe akonzaki mibu zomi na motoba na Yelusalemi. Asalaki makambo mabe na miso ya Yawe, Nzambe na ye; nzokande, Davidi, koko na ye, asalaki makambo ya sembo.
Twenty years old was Achaz when he became king, and sixteen years did he reign in Jerusalem; and he did not what is right in the eyes of the Lord his God, like David his father.
3 Alandaki banzela oyo bakonzi ya Isalaele batambolaki na yango, atumbaki ata mwana na ye ya mobali na moto lokola mbeka, kolanda misala ya nkele ya bikolo oyo Yawe abenganaki liboso ya bana ya Isalaele.
But he walked in the way of the kings of Israel, and even his son he caused to pass through the fire, after the abominable acts of the nations whom the Lord had driven out from before the children of Israel.
4 Abonzaki bambeka mpe atumbaki mbeka ya malasi, na bisambelo ya likolo ya bangomba, na bangomba mike mpe na se ya banzete ya mibesu.
And he sacrificed and burnt incense on the high-places, and on the hills, and under every green tree.
5 Bongo Retsini, mokonzi ya Siri, mpe Peka, mwana mobali ya Remalia, mokonzi ya Isalaele, bamataki mpo na kobundisa Yelusalemi mpe bazingelaki Akazi, kasi bakokaki kolonga ye te.
Then came up Rezin the king of Syria and Pekach the son of Remalyahu the king of Israel to Jerusalem to war: and they besieged Achaz, but were not able to make an attack.
6 Na tango wana, Retsini, mokonzi ya Siri, azongisaki Eyilati na se ya bokonzi ya Siri. Abenganaki bato ya Yuda oyo bazalaki na Efrate, mpe bato ya Edomi bayaki kovanda kuna kino lelo.
At that time did Rezin the king of Syria bring Elath back to Syria, and drove the Jews from Elath: and the Edomeans came to Elath and dwelt there, even until this day.
7 Akazi atindaki bantoma epai ya Tigilati-Pilezeri, mokonzi ya Asiri, mpo na koloba na ye: « Nazali mosali na yo mpe mwana na yo; yaka kokangola ngai na maboko ya mokonzi ya Siri mpe mokonzi ya Isalaele oyo bayei kobundisa ngai. »
And Achaz then sent messengers to Tiglath-pilesser the king of Assyria, saying, Thy servant and thy son am I: come up, and help me out of the hand of the king of Syria, and out of the hand of the king of Israel, who rise up against me.
8 Akazi azwaki palata mpe wolo oyo ezalaki kati na Tempelo ya Yawe mpe kati na bibombelo ya ndako ya mokonzi; bongo atindaki yango lokola kado epai ya mokonzi ya Asiri.
And Achaz took the silver and the gold that were found in the house of the Lord, and in the treasures of the king's house, and sent [the same] to the king of Assyria as a bribe.
9 Mokonzi ya Asiri ayokaki ye, akendeki kobundisa Damasi mpe abotolaki yango. Amemaki bato ya Damasi na bowumbu na Kiri mpe abomaki Retsini.
And the king of Assyria hearkened unto him; and the king of Assyria went up against Damascus, and captured it, and led [the people of] it away captive to Kir, and Rezin did he put to death.
10 Bongo mokonzi Akazi akendeki na Damasi mpo na kokutana na Tigilati-Pilezeri, mokonzi ya Asiri; amonaki etumbelo oyo ezalaki na Damasi mpe atindaki epai ya Nganga-Nzambe Uri elilingi na yango ndenge batongaki yango.
And King Achaz went to meet Tiglath-pilesser the king of Assyria to Damascus, and he saw the altar that was at Damascus: and king Achaz then sent to Uriyah the priest the form of the altar, and its pattern, after all its workmanship.
11 Boye Nganga-Nzambe Uri atongaki etumbelo kolanda elilingi oyo mokonzi Akazi atindaki wuta na Damasi, mpe asilisaki kotonga yango liboso ete mokonzi Akazi azonga wuta na Damasi.
And Uriyah the priest built the altar; in accordance with all that king Achaz had sent from Damascus, so did Uriyah the priest make it against the arrival of king Achaz from Damascus.
12 Tango mokonzi Akazi azongaki wuta na Damasi, amonaki etumbelo, apusanaki pene na yango mpe abonzaki bambeka na likolo na yango.
And when the king came from Damascus, the king saw the altar; and the king approached to the altar and offered thereon.
13 Atumbaki mbeka na ye mpe likabo ya gato, asopaki likabo ya masanga mpe abwakaki makila ya bambeka ya boyokani na likolo ya etumbelo.
And he burnt his burnt-offering and his meat-offering, and poured out his drink-offering, and sprinkled the blood of his peace offerings upon the altar.
14 Kasi mpo na oyo etali etumbelo ya bronze oyo ezalaki liboso ya Yawe, alongolaki yango na esika na yango liboso ya Ndako ya Nzambe, kati na etumbelo ya sika mpe Tempelo ya Yawe, mpe atiaki yango pembeni ya etumbelo ya sika, na ngambo ya nor.
And as respecteth the copper altar which was before the Lord, he moved it back from the forefront of the house, from between the altar and the house of the Lord, and set it on the side of the altar to the north.
15 Mokonzi Akazi apesaki mitindo epai ya Nganga-Nzambe Uri: « Na likolo ya etumbelo monene ya sika, okobanda kobonza mbeka ya kotumba na tongo mpe likabo ya gato na pokwa, mbeka ya kotumba ya mokonzi elongo na likabo na yango ya gato, mpe mbeka ya kotumba ya bato nyonso ya mokili elongo na likabo na bango ya masanga. Okobwaka na etumbelo makila ya bambeka nyonso ya kotumba mpe ya bambeka mosusu. Kasi mpo na oyo etali etumbelo ya bronze, nakokanisa mosala nini nakosala na yango. »
And king Achaz commanded Uriyah the priest, saying, Upon the great altar burn the morning burnt-offering, and the evening meat-offering, and the king's burnt-offering, and his meat-offering, with the burnt-offering of all the people of the land, and their meat-offering, and their drink-offerings; and all the blood of the burnt-offering, and all the blood of the sacrifices shalt thou sprinkle on it; and the copper altar shall be for me to visit occasionally.
16 Nganga-Nzambe Uri asalaki ndenge kaka mokonzi Akazi atindaki.
And Uriyah the priest did in accordance with all that king Achaz had commanded.
17 Mokonzi Akazi alongolaki mabaya oyo esimbaka bamesa, mpe alongolaki basani ya minene na likolo na yango; akitisaki nzungu ya monene ya bronze oyo ezalaki na likolo ya bikeko ya bangombe mpe atiaki yango na likolo ya mabanga babongisa malamu.
And king Achaz cut off the borders of the bases, and removed the lavers from off them; and the sea he took down from off the copper oxen that were under it, and placed it upon a pavement of stones.
18 Abongolaki shambre ya Saba ya kokotela oyo batongaki na kati ya Ndako ya Nzambe; abongolaki lisusu ekuke ya mokonzi oyo batongaki na libanda ya Tempelo ya Yawe mpo na kosepelisa mokonzi ya Asiri.
And the covered passage for the sabbath that they had built on the house, and the outer king's entrance, turned he from the house of the Lord, on account of the king of Assyria.
19 Makambo mosusu oyo etali mokonzi Akazi mpe misala na ye, ekomama kati na buku ya masolo ya bakonzi ya Yuda.
Now the rest of the acts of Achaz which he did, behold, they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah.
20 Akazi akendeki kokutana na bakoko na ye, mpe bakundaki ye esika moko na bakoko na ye kati na engumba ya Davidi. Ezekiasi, mwana na ye ya mobali, akitanaki na ye na bokonzi.
And Achaz slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David: and Hezekiah his son became king in his stead.
