2 Bakonzi 21

1 Manase azalaki na mibu zomi na mibale ya mbotama tango akomaki mokonzi, mpe akonzaki mibu tuku mitano na mitano na Yelusalemi. Kombo ya mama na ye ezalaki « Efitsiba. »

Manasseh was twelve years old when he began to reign, and he reigned fifty-five years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Hephzibah.

2 Manase asalaki makambo mabe na miso ya Yawe na ndenge amekolaki misala ya nkele ya bikolo oyo Yawe abenganaki liboso ya bato ya Isalaele.

He did that which was evil in the LORD’s sight, after the abominations of the nations whom the LORD cast out before the children of Israel.

3 Atongaki lisusu bisambelo ya likolo ya bangomba oyo Ezekiasi, tata na ye, abukaki; atongaki mpe bitumbelo mpo na nzambe Bala mpe atelemisaki likonzi mpo na nzambe mwasi Ashera, ndenge Akabi, mokonzi ya Isalaele, asalaki; afukamelaki mpe agumbamelaki mampinga nyonso ya likolo.

For he built again the high places which Hezekiah his father had destroyed; and he raised up altars for Baal, and made an Asherah, as Ahab king of Israel did, and worshiped all the army of the sky, and served them.

4 Atongaki bitumbelo mpo na banzambe ya bapaya kati na Tempelo ya Yawe oyo, na tina na yango, Yawe alobaki: « Nakotia Kombo na Ngai kati na Yelusalemi. »

He built altars in the LORD’s house, of which the LORD said, “I will put my name in Jerusalem.”

5 Atongaki kati na mapango nyonso mibale ya Tempelo ya Yawe bitumbelo mpo na mampinga nyonso ya likolo.

He built altars for all the army of the sky in the two courts of the LORD’s house.

6 Abonzaki na moto, lokola mbeka, mwana na ye ya mobali; asalelaki kindoki, soloka mpe maji. Atiaki na mosala bato oyo basololaka na milimo ya bakufi mpe bamoni makambo. Akobaki kosala makambo mabe na miso ya Yawe; mpe, na bongo, apelisaki kanda ya Yawe.

He made his son to pass through the fire, practiced sorcery, used enchantments, and dealt with those who had familiar spirits and with wizards. He did much evil in the LORD’s sight, to provoke him to anger.

7 Atiaki kati na Tempelo ya Yawe ekeko ya Ashera, oyo asalisaki; nzokande, Yawe alobaki na Davidi mpe na Salomo, mwana na ye ya mobali: « Nakotia Kombo na Ngai mpo na libela kati na Tempelo oyo mpe kati na Yelusalemi oyo naponi kati na mabota nyonso ya Isalaele.

He set the engraved image of Asherah that he had made in the house of which the LORD said to David and to Solomon his son, “In this house, and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, I will put my name forever;

8 Soki kaka bato ya Isalaele batosi mibeko mpe mitindo nyonso oyo napesaki bango na nzela ya Moyize, mosali na Ngai, nakosala ete bayengayenga lisusu te mosika ya mabele oyo napesaki epai ya batata na bango. »

I will not cause the feet of Israel to wander any more out of the land which I gave their fathers, if only they will observe to do according to all that I have commanded them, and according to all the law that my servant Moses commanded them.”

9 Kasi bato ya Isalaele batosaki te. Manase apengwisaki bango, mpe basalaki lisusu mabe koleka bikolo oyo Yawe abebisaki liboso ya bato ya Isalaele.

But they didn’t listen, and Manasseh seduced them to do that which is evil more than the nations did whom the LORD destroyed before the children of Israel.

10 Yawe alobaki na nzela ya basali na ye, basakoli:

The LORD spoke by his servants the prophets, saying,

11 « Lokola Manase, mokonzi ya Yuda, asalaki makambo ya nkele, lokola asalaki makambo mabe koleka ata bato ya Amori oyo bazalaki liboso na ye, mpe lokola apengwisaki Yuda na nzela ya banzambe na ye ya bikeko,

“Because Manasseh king of Judah has done these abominations, and has done wickedly above all that the Amorites did, who were before him, and has also made Judah to sin with his idols;

12 tala makambo oyo Yawe, Nzambe ya Isalaele, alobi: ‹ Nakoyeisa kati na Yelusalemi mpe kati na Yuda pasi oyo ekozala lokola kake na matoyi ya moto nyonso oyo akoyoka sango na yango.

therefore the LORD the God of Israel says, ‘Behold, I will bring such evil on Jerusalem and Judah that whoever hears of it, both his ears will tingle.

13 Nakobebisa Yelusalemi ndenge nabebisaki Samari, mpe nakokomisa yango lokola ndako ya Akabi. Nakonika Yelusalemi ndenge banikaka mpe babalolaka nzungu.

I will stretch over Jerusalem the line of Samaria, and the plumb line of Ahab’s house; and I will wipe Jerusalem as a man wipes a dish, wiping it and turning it upside down.

14 Nakosundola ndambo ya libula na Ngai oyo ekotikala, nakokaba bango na maboko ya banguna na bango. Banguna na bango bakobebisa bango mpe bakobotola biloko na bango,

I will cast off the remnant of my inheritance and deliver them into the hands of their enemies. They will become a prey and a plunder to all their enemies,

15 pamba te basalaki mabe na miso na Ngai mpe bapelisaki kanda na Ngai, wuta na mokolo oyo batata na bango babimaki na Ejipito kino na mokolo ya lelo. › »

because they have done that which is evil in my sight, and have provoked me to anger since the day their fathers came out of Egypt, even to this day.’”

16 Mpe lisusu, Manase asopaki makila ya bato oyo bayebi likambo te mpe atondisaki Yelusalemi na makila yango na bisika nyonso —kotanga te masumu oyo apengwisaki na yango Yuda mpo na kosala mabe na miso ya Yawe.

Moreover Manasseh shed innocent blood very much, until he had filled Jerusalem from one end to another; in addition to his sin with which he made Judah to sin, in doing that which was evil in the LORD’s sight.

17 Makambo mosusu oyo etali bokonzi ya Manase, misala na ye nyonso mpe masumu oyo asalaki, ekomama kati na buku ya masolo ya bakonzi ya Yuda.

Now the rest of the acts of Manasseh, and all that he did, and his sin that he sinned, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?

18 Manase akendeki kokutana na bakoko na ye, mpe bakundaki ye na elanga ya ndako na ye ya bokonzi, oyo babengaka elanga ya Uza. Amoni, mwana na ye ya mobali, akitanaki na ye na bokonzi.

Manasseh slept with his fathers, and was buried in the garden of his own house, in the garden of Uzza; and Amon his son reigned in his place.

19 Amoni azalaki na mibu tuku mibale na mibale ya mbotama tango akomaki mokonzi, mpe akonzaki mibu mibale na Yelusalemi. Kombo ya mama na ye ezalaki « Meshulemeti. » Meshulemeti azalaki mwana mwasi ya Arutsi, moto ya Yotiba.

Amon was twenty-two years old when he began to reign; and he reigned two years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Meshullemeth the daughter of Haruz of Jotbah.

20 Amoni asalaki makambo mabe na miso ya Yawe, ndenge kaka Manase, tata na ye, asalaki.

He did that which was evil in the LORD’s sight, as Manasseh his father did.

21 Atambolaki na banzela nyonso ya tata na ye, na kosambelaka banzambe ya bikeko oyo tata na ye asambelaki mpe agumbamelaki.

He walked in all the ways that his father walked in, and served the idols that his father served, and worshiped them;

22 Asundolaki Yawe, Nzambe ya batata na ye, mpe atambolaki na banzela ya Yawe te.

and he abandoned the LORD, the God of his fathers, and didn’t walk in the way of the LORD.

23 Bakalaka ya Amoni basalelaki ye likita mpe babomaki ye kati na ndako na ye ya bokonzi.

The servants of Amon conspired against him, and put the king to death in his own house.

24 Bongo bato ya mokili babomaki bato nyonso oyo basalelaki mokonzi Amoni likita mpe bakomisaki Joziasi, mwana na ye ya mobali, mokonzi na esika na ye.

But the people of the land killed all those who had conspired against King Amon; and the people of the land made Josiah his son king in his place.

25 Makambo mosusu oyo etali bokonzi ya Amoni, ekomama kati na buku ya masolo ya bakonzi ya Yuda.

Now the rest of the acts of Amon which he did, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?

26 Bakundaki ye kati na kunda na ye, kati na elanga ya Uza; mpe Joziasi, mwana na ye ya mobali, akitanaki na ye na bokonzi.

He was buried in his tomb in the garden of Uzza, and Josiah his son reigned in his place.
