2 Imilando 13
1 Ngomnyaka wetshumi lesificaminwembili wenkosi uJerobhowamu uAbhiya wasesiba yinkosi phezu kukaJuda.
Tango Jeroboami akokisaki mibu zomi na mwambe na bokonzi, Abiya akomaki mokonzi ya Yuda
2 Wabusa iminyaka emithathu eJerusalema. Lebizo likanina lalinguMikhaya indodakazi kaUriyeli weGibeya. Kwasekusiba khona impi phakathi kukaAbhiya loJerobhowamu.
mpe akonzaki mibu misato na Yelusalemi. Kombo ya mama na ye ezalaki « Mikaya. » Mikaya azalaki mwana ya Urieli, moto ya Gibea. Ezalaki na etumba kati na Abiya mpe Jeroboami.
3 UAbhiya wasehlela impi elebutho lamaqhawe empi, amadoda akhethiweyo azinkulungwane ezingamakhulu amane. UJerobhowamu wasehlela impi ukumelana laye elamadoda akhethiweyo azinkulungwane ezingamakhulu ayisificaminwembili, amaqhawe alamandla.
Bongo kati na mampinga na bango, emonanaki ete Abiya azalaki na bilombe ya bitumba nkoto nkama minei, mpe Jeroboami, nkoto nkama mwambe.
4 UAbhiya wasesima entabeni iZemarayimi esentabeni yakoEfrayimi wathi: Ngizwa Jerobhowamu, loIsrayeli wonke!
Abiya atelemaki na likolo ya ngomba Tsemarayimi oyo ezali kati na etuka ya bangomba ya Efrayimi, mpe alobaki: « Jeroboami mpe Isalaele, boyoka ngai malamu!
5 Kakusikwenu yini ukwazi ukuthi iNkosi uNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli yanika uDavida umbuso phezu kukaIsrayeli phakade, kuye lakumadodana akhe ngesivumelwano setshwayi?
Boyebi te ete Yawe, Nzambe ya Isalaele, apesa mpo na libela bokonzi ya Isalaele epai ya Davidi mpe bana na ye na nzela ya boyokani oyo ekoki kobongwana te?
6 Kodwa uJerobhowamu indodana kaNebati, inceku kaSolomoni indodana kaDavida, wasukuma wavukela inkosi yakhe.
Kasi Jeroboami, mwana mobali ya Nebati, mosali ya Salomo, mwana mobali ya Davidi, atelemaki mpo na kotombokela mokonzi na ye.
7 Kwasekubuthana kuye abantu abayize, abantwana bakaBheliyali, baziqinisa ukumelana loRehobhowamu indodana kaSolomoni, uRehobhowamu esesengumfana njalo ebuthakathaka ngenhliziyo engemelane labo.
Bato pamba mpe bato oyo bazanga tina basanganaki elongo na ye mpe batombokelaki Roboami, mwana mobali ya Salomo, tango azalaki elenge! Bongo lokola akembaki nanu te na mosala, alongaki mpe te kotelema liboso na bango.
8 Khathesi-ke lina lithi lizamelana lombuso weNkosi esandleni samadodana kaDavida; futhi lilixuku elikhulu, kodwa lilamathole egolide uJerobhowamu alenzela wona abe ngonkulunkulu.
Mpe sik’oyo, bokani kotelemela bokonzi ya Yawe, oyo ezali na maboko ya bana ya Davidi! Bobongisi mampinga minene mpe bozali, kati na bino, na bikeko ya bana ngombe oyo Jeroboami asalelaki bino lokola banzambe.
9 Kalibaxotshanga yini abapristi beNkosi, amadodana kaAroni, lamaLevi, lazenzela abapristi njengezizwe zelizwe? Loba ngubani ozegcwalisa isandla sakhe ngejongosi, ithole lenkomo, lezinqama eziyisikhombisa uba ngumpristi wabangeyisibo onkulunkulu.
Boni, bobenganaki te Banganga-Nzambe ya Yawe, bana mibali ya Aron, mpe Balevi? Bomikomisaki te banganga-nzambe ya banzambe ya bikeko ndenge bato ya bikolo mosusu basalaka? Moto na moto azalaki koya na ngombe moko ya mobali mpe bameme sambo ya mibali oyo azalaki kozwa na etonga na ye, mpo ete bakomisa ye nganga-nzambe ya oyo ezali kutu banzambe te.
10 Kodwa thina, iNkosi inguNkulunkulu wethu, kasiyidelanga; labapristi abayikhonzayo iNkosi bangamadodana kaAroni, lamaLevi asemsebenzini.
Nzokande epai na biso, Yawe nde azali Nzambe na biso, mpe tosundola Ye te; bana mibali ya Aron nde bazali Banganga-Nzambe oyo basalelaka Ye, mpe Balevi basungaka bango.
11 Njalo bayahlabela iNkosi ikuseni ngekuseni lentambama ngentambama iminikelo yokutshiswa lempepha elephunga elimnandi; lokulungisa izinkwa etafuleni elihlambulukileyo, lokulumathisa uluthi lwesibane lwegolide lezibane zalo kusihlwa ngakusihlwa. Ngoba thina sigcina umlindo weNkosi uNkulunkulu wethu, kodwa lina liyidelile.
Tongo mpe pokwa nyonso, tobonzelaka Yawe bambeka ya kotumba mpe ya malasi, totandaka mapa likolo ya mesa ya bule; mpe pokwa nyonso, topelisaka minda ya etelemiselo ya minda, pamba te biso totosaka mitindo ya Yawe, Nzambe na biso; kasi bino, bosundolaki Ye.
12 Ngakho khangelani, uNkulunkulu ulathi eyinhloko, labapristi bakhe belempondo zokukhalisa ukuhlaba umkhosi bemelene lani. Bantwana bakoIsrayeli, lingalwi leNkosi, uNkulunkulu waboyihlo, ngoba kaliyikuphumelela.
Tala, Nzambe azali elongo na biso lokola Motambolisi; Banganga-Nzambe na Ye bakobeta kelelo na lokito makasi mpo na kotelemela bino. Bana ya Isalaele, bobundisa te Yawe, Nzambe ya batata na bino, pamba te bokolonga ata moke te. »
13 Kodwa uJerobhowamu wayebhodise abacathameli ukuthi beze bengasemva kwabo. Ngakho babephambi kukaJuda, labacathameli bengemva kwabo.
Na tango wana, Jeroboami atindaki limpinga moko ya basoda mpo ete babombama na sima ya basoda ya Yuda. Boye, basoda ya Yuda bazwamaki lokola na motambo: liboso na bango, ezalaki na mampinga ya Isalaele; mpe sima na bango, basoda oyo babombamaki.
14 Lapho uJuda ephenduka, khangela-ke, impi yayimelene labo ngaphambili langemuva; basebekhala eNkosini, labapristi bakhalisa izimpondo,
Mpe wana basoda ya Yuda babalukaki, basosolaki ete babundisami na liboso mpe na sima na mbala moko. Boye, bagangaki epai na Yawe, mpe Banganga-Nzambe babetaki kelelo.
15 labantu bakoJuda bamemeza; kwasekusithi ekumemezeni kwabantu bakoJuda uNkulunkulu watshaya oJerobhowamu loIsrayeli wonke phambi kukaAbhiya loJuda.
Basoda ya Yuda babetaki lokito ya bitumba; mpe na lokito na bango, Yawe Nzambe akweyisaki Jeroboami mpe Isalaele nyonso liboso ya Abiya mpe ya Yuda.
16 Abantwana bakoIsrayeli basebebaleka phambi kobuso bukaJuda, uNkulunkulu wasebanikela esandleni sabo.
Basoda ya Isalaele bakimaki liboso ya basoda ya Yuda, mpe Nzambe akabaki bango na maboko ya basoda ya Yuda.
17 UAbhiya labantu bakhe basebebatshaya ngokutshaya okukhulu; kwasekusiwa ababuleweyo koIsrayeli, amadoda akhethiweyo azinkulungwane ezingamakhulu amahlanu.
Abiya mpe mampinga na ye bazwaki elonga monene liboso ya mampinga ya Isalaele mpe babomaki bilombe ya Isalaele pene nkoto nkama mitano.
18 Ngokunjalo abantwana bakoIsrayeli bathotshiswa ngalesosikhathi, labantwana bakoJuda baba lamandla ngoba beyama eNkosini, uNkulunkulu waboyise.
Na tango wana, basoda ya Isalaele basambwaki; kasi ba-oyo ya Yuda bazwaki elonga, pamba te batiaki elikya na Yawe, Nzambe ya batata na bango.
19 UAbhiya wasexotshana loJerobhowamu, wathumba imizi kuye, iBhetheli lemizana yayo, leJeshana lemizana yayo, leEfroni lemizana yayo.
Abiya alandaki Jeroboami mpe abotolaki ye bingumba ebele: Beteli, Yeshana mpe Efroni elongo na bamboka na yango ya zingazinga.
20 UJerobhowamu akabe esaba lamandla ensukwini zikaAbhiya. INkosi yasimtshaya, wafa.
Na mikolo nyonso oyo Abiya azalaki na bokonzi, Jeroboami azongelaki te nguya na ye ya kala. Yawe abetaki ye mpe akufaki.
21 Kodwa uAbhiya waziqinisa, wazithathela abafazi abalitshumi lane, wazala amadodana angamatshumi amabili lambili, lamadodakazi alitshumi lesithupha.
Nzokande, Abiya alendisaki bokonzi na ye. Abalaki basi zomi na minei mpe abotaki bana mibali tuku mibale na mibale mpe bana basi zomi na motoba.
22 Ezinye-ke zezindaba zikaAbhiya, lezindlela zakhe, lamazwi akhe, kubhaliwe ezindabeni zomprofethi uIdo.
Makambo mpe misala mosusu ya Abiya, etamboli mpe maloba na ye, ekomama kati na buku ya masolo ya momoni makambo Ido.
