2 Bakonzi 22
1 Joziasi azalaki na mibu mwambe ya mbotama tango akomaki mokonzi, mpe akonzaki mibu tuku misato na moko na Yelusalemi. Kombo ya mama na ye ezalaki « Yedida. » Yedida azalaki mwana ya Adaya, moto ya mboka Botsikati.
Iosiah was eight yeere olde when he beganne to reigne, and hee reigned one and thirtie yeere in Ierusalem. His mothers name also was Iedidah the daughter of Adaiah of Bozcath.
2 Joziasi asalaki makambo ya sembo na miso ya Yawe mpe alandaki banzela oyo Davidi, tata na ye, atambolaki na yango; apengwaki na yango te, ezala na ngambo ya loboko ya mwasi to na ngambo ya loboko ya mobali.
And hee did vprightly in the sight of the Lord, and walked in all the wayes of Dauid his father, and bowed neither to the right hand, nor to the left.
3 Tango Joziasi akokisaki mibu zomi na mwambe na bokonzi, atindaki Shafani, mokomi mikanda na ye, mwana mobali ya Atsalia mpe koko ya Meshulami, na Tempelo ya Yawe. Alobaki na ye:
And in the eighteenth yeere of King Iosiah, the King sent Shaphan the sonne of Azaliah the sonne of Meshullam the chanceller to ye house of the Lord, saying,
4 — Kende koyebisa Ilikia, mokonzi ya Banganga-Nzambe, ete atanga mbongo nyonso oyo bato bamemaki na Tempelo ya Yawe mpe oyo bakengeli bikuke ya Tempelo ya Yawe bakongolaki.
Goe vp to Hilkiah the high Priest, that hee may summe the siluer which is brought into the house of the Lord, which the keepers of the doore haue gathered of the people.
5 Tika ete bapesa mbongo yango na maboko ya batambolisi misala ya Tempelo ya Yawe mpo ete bafuta basali oyo bazali kobongisa yango:
And let them deliuer it into the hande of them that doe the worke, and haue the ouersight of the house of the Lord: let them giue it to them that worke in the house of the Lord, to repaire the decayed places of the house:
6 basharipantie, bangamba mpe batongi ndako. Kaka na mbongo yango, bakosomba lisusu mabaya mpe mabanga bakata mpo na kolendisa Tempelo ya Yawe.
To wit, vnto the artificers and carpenters and masons, and to bye timber, and hewed stone to repaire the house.
7 Kasi batuna bango te ndenge nini bakosalela mbongo yango, pamba te basalaka na boyengebene.
Howebeit, let no rekoning bee made with them of the money, that is deliuered into their hand: for they deale faithfully.
8 Ilikia, mokonzi ya Banganga-Nzambe, alobaki na Shafani, mokomi mikanda: — Namoni buku ya Mobeko kati na Tempelo ya Yawe. Ilikia apesaki buku yango epai ya Shafani, mpe Shafani atangaki yango.
And Hilkiah the high Priest sayde vnto Shaphan the chanceller, I haue found the booke of the Lawe in the house of the Lord: and Hilkiah gaue the booke to Shaphan, and hee reade it.
9 Bongo Shafani, mokomi mikanda, akendeki epai ya mokonzi mpe ayebisaki ye: — Basali na yo bapesi mbongo oyo ezalaki kati na Tempelo ya Yawe epai ya batambolisi misala na yango,
So Shaphan the chanceller came to ye King, and brought him word againe, and saide, Thy seruants haue gathered the money, that was found in the house, and haue deliuered it vnto the hands of them that doe the worke, and haue the ouersight of the house of the Lord.
10 mpe Nganga-Nzambe Ilikia apesi ngai buku moko. Mpe Shafani atangaki buku yango liboso ya mokonzi.
Also Shaphan the chanceller shewed the King saying, Hilkiah the Priest hath deliuered me a booke. And Shaphan read it before the King.
11 Tango mokonzi ayokaki maloba ya buku ya Mobeko, apasolaki bilamba na ye
And when the King had heard the wordes of the booke of the Law, he rent his clothes.
12 mpe apesaki mitindo oyo epai ya Nganga-Nzambe Ilikia, epai ya Ayikami, mwana mobali ya Shafani, epai ya Akibori, mwana mobali ya Mishe, epai ya Shafani, mokomi mikanda, mpe epai ya Asaya, moko kati na bakalaka ya mokonzi:
Therefore the King commanded Hilkiah the Priest, and Ahikam the sonne of Shaphan, and Achbor the sonne of Michaiah, and Shaphan the chanceller, and Asahiah the Kings seruant, saying,
13 — Bokende kotuna toli ya Yawe mpo na ngai, mpo na bato mpe mpo na Yuda mobimba, na tina na makambo oyo ekomama kati na buku oyo ewuti komonana. Pamba te kanda ya Yawe, oyo epeleli biso ezali makasi mpo ete batata na biso batosaki te maloba ya buku yango mpe basalaki te kolanda nyonso oyo ekomama kati na yango.
Go ye and inquire of the Lord for me, and for the people, and for all Iudah concerning the wordes of this booke that is founde: for great is the wrath of the Lord that is kindled against vs, because our fathers haue not obeyed the wordes of this booke, to doe according vnto all that which is written therein for vs.
14 Boye Nganga-Nzambe Ilikia, Ayikami, Akibori, Shafani mpe Asaya bakendeki epai ya mwasi mosakoli Ulida, mwasi ya Shalumi, mwana mobali ya Tikiva, koko ya Arasi, mobombi bilamba ya Tempelo. Ulida azalaki kovanda na Yelusalemi, kati na etuka ya sika. Tango basilisaki koyebisa ye makambo,
So Hilkiah the Priest and Ahikam, and Achbor and Shaphan, and Asahiah went vnto Huldah the Prophetesse the wife of Shallum, ye sonne of Tikuah, the sonne of Harhas keeper of the wardrobe: (and she dwelt in Ierusalem in the colledge) and they communed with her.
15 Ulida alobaki na bango: — Tala makambo oyo Yawe, Nzambe ya Isalaele, alobi: Boloba na tata oyo atindi bino epai na Ngai:
And shee answered them, Thus sayth the Lord God of Israel, Tel the man that sent you to mee,
16 « Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: Nakobengisa pasi makasi na esika oyo mpe na bavandi na yango kolanda makambo nyonso oyo ekomama kati na buku oyo mokonzi ya Yuda awuti kotanga.
Thus sayth the Lord, Behold, I wil bring euill vpon this place, and on the inhabitants thereof, euen al the words of the booke which ye King of Iudah hath read,
17 Lokola basundolaki Ngai mpe batumbaki mbeka ya malasi mpo na banzambe mosusu kino kotumbola Ngai na nzela ya biloko nyonso oyo maboko na bango esilaki kosala, kanda na Ngai epeli makasi mpo na kobebisa esika oyo, mpe ekokita te. »
Because they haue forsaken mee, and haue burnt incense vnto other gods, to anger me with all ye works of their hands: my wrath also shalbe kindled against this place and shall not be queched:
18 Boloba na mokonzi ya Yuda oyo atindi bino kotuna toli ya Yawe: « Tala makambo oyo Yawe, Nzambe ya Isalaele, alobi na tina na maloba oyo oyokaki:
But to the King of Iudah, who sent you to inquire of the Lord, so shall ye say vnto him, Thus sayeth the Lord God of Israel, The wordes that thou hast heard, shall come to passe.
19 Lokola motema na yo etutami, lokola omikitisi liboso ya Yawe sima na yo koyoka makambo oyo nalobaki, mpo na kotelemela esika oyo elongo na bavandi na yango, ete bakobebisama mpe bakolakelama mabe; lokola opasoli bilamba na yo mpe oleli liboso na Ngai, Ngai mpe nayoki, elobi Yawe.
But because thine heart did melt, and thou hast humbled thy selfe before the Lord, when thou heardest what I spake against this place, and against the inhabitants of the same, to wit, that it should be destroyed and accursed, and hast rent thy clothes, and wept before me, I haue also heard it, saith the Lord.
20 Mpo na yango, nakosala ete okende kokutana na bakoko na yo; mpe okokundama na kimia kati na moko na bakunda na yo. Na bongo, miso na yo ekomona te pasi nyonso oyo nakotindela esika oyo. » Batindami bakomisaki eyano oyo epai ya mokonzi.
Beholde therefore, I wil gather thee to thy fathers, and thou shalt be put in thy graue in peace, and thine eyes shall not see all the euil, which I will bring vpon this place. Thus they brought the King worde againe.
