2 Bakonzi 17
1 Tango Akazi, mokonzi ya Yuda, akokisaki mibu zomi na mibale na bokonzi, Oze, mwana mobali ya Ela, akomaki mokonzi ya Isalaele na Samari. Akonzaki mibu libwa.
In the twelfth year of Ahaz king of Judah reigned hath Hoshea son of Elah in Samaria, over Israel — nine years,
2 Oze asalaki makambo mabe na miso ya Yawe, kasi ndenge moko te na bakonzi ya Isalaele, oyo bazalaki liboso na ye.
and he doth the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah, only, not as the kings of Israel who were before him;
3 Salimanasari, mokonzi ya Asiri, ayaki kobundisa Oze. Mpe Oze akomaki mowumbu mpe akomaki kofuta mpako epai ya Salimanasari.
against him came up Shalmaneser king of Asshur, and Hoshea is to him a servant, and doth render to him a present.
4 Kasi mokonzi ya Asiri asosolaki ete Oze asaleli ye likita, pamba te Oze atindaki bantoma epai ya So, mokonzi ya Ejipito, mpe atikaki kofuta mpako epai ya mokonzi ya Asiri ndenge azalaki kosala mobu na mobu. Boye Salimanasari akangaki Oze mpe atiaki ye na boloko.
And the king of Asshur findeth in Hoshea a conspiracy, in that he hath sent messengers unto So king of Egypt, and hath not caused a present to go up to the king of Asshur, as year by year, and the king of Asshur restraineth him, and bindeth him in a house of restraint.
5 Mokonzi ya Asiri akotaki na makasi na mokili mobimba, abundisaki Samari mpe azingelaki yango mibu misato.
And the king of Asshur goeth up into all the land, and he goeth up to Samaria, and layeth siege against it three years;
6 Tango Oze akokisaki mibu libwa na bokonzi, mokonzi ya Asiri abotolaki Samari mpe amemaki bana ya Isalaele na bowumbu na Asiri. Atiaki bango na Ala mpe na bapembeni ya ebale ya Abori, na etuka ya Gozani mpe na bingumba ya Medi.
in the ninth year of Hoshea hath the king of Asshur captured Samaria, and removeth Israel to Asshur, and causeth them to dwell in Halah, and in Habor, [by] the river Gozan, and [in] the cities of the Medes.
7 Makambo oyo esalemaki mpo ete bato ya Isalaele basalaki masumu liboso ya Yawe, Nzambe na bango, oyo abimisaki bango wuta na bokonzi ya Faraon, mokonzi ya Ejipito; bagumbamelaki banzambe mosusu.
And it cometh to pass, because the sons of Israel have sinned against Jehovah their God — who bringeth them up out of the land of Egypt, from under the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt — and fear other gods,
8 Balandaki bizaleli ya bikolo oyo Yawe abenganaki liboso na bango mpe makambo oyo bakonzi ya Isalaele bakotisaki.
and walk in the statutes of the nations that Jehovah dispossessed from the presence of the sons of Israel, and of the kings of Israel that they made;
9 Bato ya Isalaele basalaki na nkuku makambo ya nkele na miso ya Yawe, Nzambe na bango. Batongaki bisambelo ya likolo ya bangomba kati na bingumba na bango nyonso, kobanda na likolo ya bamir ya lopango kino na bingumba batonga makasi.
and the sons of Israel do covertly things that [are] not right against Jehovah their God, and build for them high places in all their cities, from a tower of the watchers unto the fenced city,
10 Batelemisaki mabanga ya bule mpe makonzi ya nzambe mwasi Ashera na likolo ya bangomba nyonso mpe na se ya banzete nyonso ya mibesu.
and set up for them standing-pillars and shrines on every high height, and under every green tree,
11 Batumbaki ansa na bisambelo nyonso ya likolo ya bangomba, ndenge bikolo oyo Yawe abenganaki liboso na bango ezalaki kosala. Basalaki makambo mabe oyo etumbolaki kanda ya Yawe.
and make perfume there in all high places, like the nations that Jehovah removed from their presence, and do evil things to provoke Jehovah,
12 Bagumbamelaki banzambe ya bikeko oyo na tina na yango Yawe alobaki: « Bokosala bongo te. »
and serve the idols, of which Jehovah said to them, 'Ye do not do this thing;'
13 Yawe akebisaki Isalaele mpe Yuda na nzela ya basali na Ye nyonso, basakoli mpe bamoni makambo, na maloba oyo: « Botika banzela na bino ya mabe, bobatela mibeko mpe bikateli na Ngai kolanda mibeko nyonso oyo napesaki bino mpe bakoko na bino na nzela ya basali na Ngai, basakoli. »
And Jehovah testifieth against Israel, and against Judah, by the hand of every prophet, and every seer, saying, 'Turn back from your evil ways, and keep My commands, My statutes, according to all the law that I commanded your fathers, and that I sent unto you by the hand of My servants the prophets;'
14 Kasi bayokaki te; batiaki moto makasi lokola bakoko na bango, oyo baboyaki kondimela Yawe, Nzambe na bango.
and they have not hearkened, and harden their neck, like the neck of their fathers, who did not remain stedfast in Jehovah their God,
15 Babwakaki bikateli na Ye, boyokani oyo asalaki elongo na bakoko na bango mpe makebisi oyo apesaki bango. Balandaki bikolo oyo ezalaki zingazinga na bango. Yawe apesaki bango mitindo ete basala te lokola bango, kasi bango basalaki kaka makambo oyo Yawe apekisaki bango kosala.
and reject His statutes and His covenant that He made with their fathers, and His testimonies that He testified against them, and go after the vain thing, and become vain, and after the nations that are round about them, of whom Jehovah commanded them not to do like them;
16 Batikaki mitindo nyonso ya Yawe, Nzambe na bango, mpe bamisalelaki banzambe ya bikeko ya bana ngombe mibale basala na bibende oyo banyangwisa na moto, mpe likonzi ya nzambe mwasi Ashera. Bango nyonso bagumbamelaki mampinga nyonso ya likolo, mpe basambelaki nzambe Bala.
And they forsake all the commands of Jehovah their God, and make to them a molten image — two calves, and make a shrine, and bow themselves to all the host of the heavens, and serve Baal,
17 Batumbaki na moto lokola mbeka bana na bango ya mibali mpe bana na bango ya basi. Basalelaki soloka mpe kindoki, mpe bamikabaki mpo na kosala makambo mabe na miso ya Yawe. Boye batumbolaki kanda ya Yawe.
and cause their sons and their daughters to pass over through fire, and divine divinations, and use enchantments, and sell themselves to do the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah, to provoke Him;
18 Yawe asilikelaki makasi bana ya Isalaele mpe abenganaki bango mosika na Ye. Kaka libota ya Yuda nde batikalaki.
That Jehovah sheweth himself very angry against Israel, and turneth them aside from His presence; none hath been left, only the tribe of Judah by itself.
19 Nzokande, libota yango mpe ya Yuda babatelaki te mitindo ya Yawe, Nzambe na bango, balandaki bizaleli oyo Isalaele akotisaki.
Also Judah hath not kept the commands of Jehovah their God, and they walk in the statutes of Israel that they had made.
20 Boye, Yawe abwakaki bana nyonso ya Isalaele, ayokisaki bango pasi, akabaki bango na maboko ya bato ya mobulu, mpe abenganaki bango mosika na Ye.
And Jehovah kicketh against all the seed of Israel, and afflicteth them, and giveth them into the hand of spoilers, till that He hath cast them out of His presence,
21 Tango Yawe alongolaki Isalaele na se ya bokonzi ya Davidi, bana ya Isalaele bakomisaki Jeroboami, mwana mobali ya Nebati, mokonzi na bango. Jeroboami atindikaki Isalaele ete balanda Yawe te, mpe amemisaki bango lisumu ya monene.
for He hath rent Israel from the house of David, and they make Jeroboam son of Nebat king, and Jeroboam driveth Israel from after Jehovah, and hath caused them to sin a great sin,
22 Bato ya Isalaele bakangamaki na masumu nyonso ya Jeroboami mpe batikaki yango te
and the sons of Israel walk in all the sins of Jeroboam that he did, they have not turned aside therefrom,
23 kino tango Yawe abenganaki bango mosika na Ye, ndenge ayebisaki bango na nzela ya basali na Ye nyonso, basakoli. Boye, bamemaki bana ya Isalaele na bowumbu, mosika ya mokili na bango, na Asiri kino lelo.
till that Jehovah hath turned Israel aside from His presence, as He spake by the hand of all His servants the prophets, and Israel is removed from off its land to Asshur, unto this day.
24 Mokonzi ya Asiri amemaki bato wuta na bingumba ya Babiloni, ya Kuti, ya Ava, ya Amati mpe ya Sefarivayimi; mpe atiaki bango na Samari, na esika ya bana ya Isalaele. Bato yango bazwaki Samari mpe bavandaki kati na bingumba na yango.
And the king of Asshur bringeth in from Babylon and from Cutha, and from Ava, and from Hamath, and Sepharvaim, and causeth [them] to dwell in the cities of Samaria instead of the sons of Israel, and they possess Samaria, and dwell in its cities;
25 Liboso, tango bazalaki kovanda kuna, bato yango bazalaki kogumbamela Yawe te. Boye Yawe atindaki nkosi kati na bango, mpe ebomaki ndambo ya bato kati na bango.
and it cometh to pass, at the commencement of their dwelling there, they have not feared Jehovah, and Jehovah doth send among them the lions, and they are destroying among them.
26 Bayebisaki mokonzi ya Asiri: — Bikolo oyo omemaki na bowumbu mpe otiaki kati na bingumba ya Samari bayebi te makambo oyo Nzambe ya mokili wana alingaka. Boye Nzambe atindi kati na bango nkosi oyo ezali koboma bango, pamba te bato yango bayebi te makambo oyo Nzambe yango alingaka.
And they speak to the king of Asshur, saying, 'The nations that thou hast removed, and dost place in the cities of Samaria, have not known the custom of the God of the land, and He sendeth among them the lions, and lo, they are destroying them, as they do not know the custom of the God of the land.'
27 Boye mokonzi ya Asiri apesaki mitindo oyo: — Botinda kuna moko kati na Banganga-Nzambe oyo bomemaki na bowumbu wuta na Samari mpo ete avanda kuna mpe alakisa bato makambo oyo Nzambe ya mokili wana alingaka.
And the king of Asshur commandeth, saying, 'Cause to go thither one of the priests whom ye removed thence, and they go and dwell there, and he doth teach them the custom of the God of the land.'
28 Boye moko kati na Banganga-Nzambe oyo bamemaki na bowumbu wuta na Samari ayaki kovanda na Beteli mpe alakisaki bango kogumbamela Yawe.
And one of the priests whom they removed from Samaria cometh in, and dwelleth in Beth-El, and he is teaching them how they do fear Jehovah,
29 Kasi ekolo na ekolo esalaki banzambe na yango kati na bingumba nyonso oyo bazalaki kovanda, mpe batiaki banzambe yango kati na bisika ya bule ya bisambelo ya likolo ya bangomba oyo bato ya Samari batongaki.
and they are making each nation its gods, and place [them] in the houses of the high places that the Samaritans have made, each nation in their cities where they are dwelling.
30 Bato oyo bawutaki na Babiloni basalaki ekeko ya nzambe Sukoti-Benoti; ba-oyo bawutaki na Kuti basalaki ekeko ya nzambe Nerigali; ba-oyo bawutaki na Amati basalaki ekeko ya nzambe Ashima;
And the men of Babylon have made Succoth-Benoth, and the men of Cuth have made Nergal, and the men of Hamath have made Ashima,
31 ba-oyo bawutaki na Ava basalaki bikeko ya nzambe Nibikazi mpe nzambe Taritaki; ba-oyo bawutaki na Sefarivayimi bazalaki kokoba kotumba bana na bango na moto lokola mbeka epai ya Adrameleki mpe Anameleki, banzambe ya bato ya Sefarivayimi.
and the Avites have made Nibhaz and Tartak, and the Sepharvites are burning their sons with fire to Adrammelech and Anammelech, gods of Sepharvim.
32 Bato ya bikolo yango bazalaki na bango kotosa Yawe, kasi baponaki lisusu kati na bango bato mpo na kosala mosala ya bonganga-nzambe kati na bisika ya bule ya bisambelo ya likolo ya bangomba.
And they are fearing Jehovah, and make to themselves from their extremities priests of high places, and they are acting for them in the house of the high places.
33 Atako bazalaki kotosa Yawe, kasi bazalaki mpe kosalela banzambe na bango kolanda bizaleli ya bikolo epai wapi bawutaki.
Jehovah they are fearing, and their gods they are serving, according to the custom of the nations whence they removed them.
34 Kino lelo, bakangami kaka na bizaleli na bango ya kala; bagumbamelaka penza Yawe te mpe batosaka te bikateli mpe malako, mibeko mpe mitindo oyo Yawe apesaki epai ya bakitani ya Jakobi oyo apesaki kombo « Isalaele. »
Unto this day they are doing according to the former customs — they are not fearing Jehovah, and are not doing according to their statutes, and according to their ordinances, and according to the law, and according to the command, that Jehovah commanded the sons of Jacob whose name He made Israel,
35 Tango Yawe asalaki boyokani elongo na bana ya Isalaele, alobaki na bango: « Bokogumbamela banzambe mosusu te, bokofukamela yango te, bokosalela yango te mpe bokobonzela yango bambeka te;
and Jehovah maketh with them a covenant, and chargeth them, saying, 'Ye do not fear other gods, nor bow yourselves to them, nor serve them, nor sacrifice to them,
36 kaka Yawe oyo abimisaki bino wuta na Ejipito, na nguya mpe na loboko esembolama, nde bosengeli kogumbamela. Liboso na Ye kaka nde bosengeli kogumbama mpe kobonza bambeka.
but Jehovah who brought you up out of the land of Egypt with great power, and with a stretched-out arm, Him ye do fear, and to Him ye bow yourselves, and to Him ye do sacrifice;
37 Bosengeli tango nyonso kozala na bokebi mpo na kobatela bikateli mpe malako, mibeko mpe mitindo oyo Yawe akomaki mpo na bino. Bogumbamela banzambe mosusu te,
and the statutes, and the judgments, and the law, and the command, that He wrote for you, ye observe to do all the days, and ye do not fear other gods;
38 bobosana te boyokani oyo nasalaki elongo na bino, mpe bogumbamela banzambe mosusu te.
and the covenant that I have made with you ye do not forget, and ye do not fear other gods;
39 Kaka Yawe, Nzambe na bino, nde bosengeli kogumbamela, pamba te Ye nde akangolaki bino na maboko ya banguna na bino nyonso. »
but Jehovah your God ye do fear, and He doth deliver you out of the hand of all your enemies;'
40 Kasi bato ya bikolo wana bayokaki te mpe batingamaki kaka na bizaleli na bango ya kala.
and they have not hearkened, but according to their former custom they are doing,
41 Atako bato ya bikolo yango bazalaki kotosa Yawe, kasi bazalaki mpe kosalela banzambe na bango ya bikeko. Kino lelo, bana na bango mpe bakitani na bango bazali kokoba kosala makambo oyo bakoko na bango bazalaki kosala.
and these nations are fearing Jehovah, and their graven images they have served, both their sons and their sons' sons; as their fathers did, they are doing unto this day.
