Bilombe 2
1 Anjelu ya Yawe alongwaki na Giligali mpe akendeki na Bokimi. Alobaki: « Nabimisaki bino na Ejipito mpe nakotisaki bino na mokili oyo nalakaki kopesa epai ya bakoko na bino na nzela ya ndayi. Nalobaki: ‹ Nakotikala kokata boyokani te kati na Ngai mpe bino;
And the Messenger of YHWH goes up from Gilgal to Bochim,
2 mpe bokosala boyokani te elongo na bato ya mokili oyo, kasi bokobuka bitumbelo na bango. › Nzokande, botosaki Ngai te. Mpo na nini bosalaki bongo?
and says, “I cause you to come up out of Egypt, and bring you into the land which I have sworn to your fathers, and say, I do not break My covenant with you for all time; and you make no covenant with the inhabitants of this land—you break down their altars; and you have not listened to My voice—what [is] this you have done?
3 Sik’oyo, nalobi na bino ete nakobengana bango lisusu te liboso na bino; bakokoma nzube na mipanzi na bino, mpe banzambe na bango ya bikeko ekokoma mitambo mpo na bino. »
And I have also said, I do not cast them out from your presence, and they have been for adversaries to you, and their gods are for a snare to you.”
4 Tango Anjelu ya Yawe alobaki makambo oyo epai ya bana nyonso ya Isalaele, bakomaki kolela makasi,
And it comes to pass, when the Messenger of YHWH speaks these words to all the sons of Israel, that the people lift up their voice and weep,
5 mpe babengaki esika yango Bokimi. Babonzaki kuna bambeka epai na Yawe.
and they call the name of that place Bochim, and sacrifice to YHWH there.
6 Sima na Jozue kobengana bato, bana ya Isalaele bakendeki kobotola mokili, moto na moto na eteni na ye ya mabele.
And Joshua sends the people away, and the sons of Israel go, each to his inheritance, to possess the land;
7 Basalelaki Yawe tango nyonso Jozue azalaki na bomoi mpe, sima na kufa na ye, tango nyonso bampaka, oyo bamonaki misala nyonso ya Yawe mpo na Isalaele, bazalaki na bomoi.
and the people serve YHWH all [the] days of Joshua, and all [the] days of [the] elderly who prolonged days after Joshua, who saw all the great work of YHWH which He did to Israel.
8 Jozue, mwana mobali ya Nuni, mosali na Yawe, akufaki tango akokisaki mibu nkama moko na zomi ya mbotama.
And Joshua son of Nun, servant of YHWH, dies, a son of one hundred and ten years,
9 Bakundaki ye na mabele ya libula na ye, na Timinati-Eresi, kati na etuka ya bangomba ya Efrayimi, na ngambo ya nor ya ngomba Gashi.
and they bury him in the border of his inheritance, in Timnath-Heres, in the hill-country of Ephraim, on the north of Mount Gaash;
10 Sima na yango, molongo nyonso ya bato oyo bazalaki elongo na Jozue basilaki na kokufa; mpe molongo mosusu ya bato oyo babotamaki sima na bango ebimaki, molongo oyo eyebaki Yawe te mpe emonaki te misala oyo asalaki mpo na Isalaele.
and all that generation have also been gathered to their fathers, and another generation rises after them who have not known YHWH, and even the work which He has done to Israel.
11 Bongo bana ya Isalaele bakomaki kosala makambo mabe na miso ya Yawe mpe kosalela banzambe ya Bala.
And the sons of Israel do evil in the eyes of YHWH, and serve the Ba‘alim,
12 Basundolaki Yawe, Nzambe ya batata na bango, oyo abimisaki bango na mokili ya Ejipito, mpe bakomaki kosambela mpe kosalela banzambe ya ndenge na ndenge ya bato oyo bazalaki zingazinga na bango; bakomaki kogumbama liboso ya banzambe yango. Mpo na yango, bapelisaki kanda ya Yawe,
and forsake YHWH, God of their fathers, who brings them out from the land of Egypt, and go after other gods (of the gods of the peoples who [are] around them), and bow themselves to them, and provoke YHWH,
13 pamba te basundolaki Yawe mpo na kosalela banzambe Bala mpe Asitarite.
indeed, they forsake YHWH, and do service to Ba‘al and to Ashtaroth.
14 Bongo Yawe atombokelaki bana ya Isalaele mpe akabaki bango na maboko ya bato mabe oyo babotolaki bango biloko na makasi; asundolaki bango epai ya banguna na bango, oyo bazalaki zingazinga na bango, mpe bazangaki makoki ya kotelemela bango.
And the anger of YHWH burns against Israel, and He gives them into the hand of spoilers, and they spoil them, and He sells them into the hand of their surrounding enemies, and they have not been able to stand before their enemies anymore;
15 Tango nyonso bana ya Isalaele bazalaki kokende bitumba, loboko na Yawe ezalaki kotelemela bango mpo ete balonga te, ndenge kaka alapaki ndayi mpo na bango. Boye bazalaki na pasi makasi.
in every [place] where they have gone out, the hand of YHWH has been against them for calamity, as YHWH has spoken, and as YHWH has sworn to them, and they are greatly distressed.
16 Yawe abimisaki Bilombe oyo babikisaki bango wuta na maboko ya bato mabe oyo bazalaki kobotola bango biloko na makasi.
And YHWH raises up judges, and they save them from the hand of their spoilers;
17 Kasi bana ya Isalaele bayokelaki ata Bilombe na bango te, kasi bazalaki kosambela mpe kosalela banzambe mosusu. Batikaki noki nzela oyo batata na bango bazalaki kolanda: nzela ya kotosa mibeko na Yawe. Balandaki ndakisa na bango te.
and they have also not listened to their judges, but have gone whoring after other gods, and bow themselves to them; they have turned aside [with] haste out of the way [in] which their fathers walked to obey the commands of YHWH—they have not done so.
18 Tango nyonso Yawe azalaki kobimisela bango elombe, abandaki mpe kozala elongo na elombe yango mpo na kobikisa bango wuta na maboko ya banguna na bango, na tango nyonso oyo elombe yango azalaki na bomoi. Solo Yawe azalaki koyokela bango mawa, pamba te azalaki koyoka bango kolela liboso ya banyokoli na bango mpe ya bato oyo bazalaki komonisa bango pasi.
And when YHWH raised up judges for them—then YHWH was with the judge, and saved them out of the hand of their enemies all [the] days of the judge; for YHWH sighs, because of their groaning from the presence of their oppressors, and of those thrusting them away.
19 Kasi soki elombe akufi, bato bazalaki kozongela misala mabe koleka kutu mabe ya batata na bango; bazalaki kosambela, kosalela, kogumbamela banzambe mosusu. Bazalaki koboya kotika misala na bango ya mabe mpe bazalaki kaka kotingama na nzela na bango.
And it has come to pass, when the judge dies—they turn back and have done corruptly above their fathers, to go after other gods, to serve them, and to bow themselves to them; they have not fallen from their doings, and from their stiff way.
20 Boye Yawe atombokelaki bana ya Isalaele mpe alobaki: « Lokola ekolo oyo ekataki boyokani oyo nasalaki elongo na batata na bango mpe eboyi koyokela Ngai,
And the anger of YHWH burns against Israel, and He says, “Because that this nation has transgressed My covenant which I commanded their fathers, and have not listened to My voice—
21 Ngai mpe nakobengana lisusu te liboso na bango ata ekolo moko kati na bikolo oyo Jozue atikaki liboso ete akufa.
I also do not continue to dispossess any from before them of the nations which Joshua has left when he dies,
22 Nakosalela bikolo yango mpo na komeka Isalaele mpe kotala soki bakobatela mpe bakotambola na nzela ya Yawe lokola batata na bango. »
in order to try Israel by them, whether they are keeping the way of YHWH, to go in it, as their fathers kept [it], or not.”
23 Yawe akabaki te bikolo yango na maboko ya Jozue, asalaki ete etikala; abenganaki yango te mbala moko.
And YHWH leaves these nations, so as not to dispossess them quickly, and did not give them into the hand of Joshua.
