1 Roboami akendeki na Sishemi epai wapi lisanga mobimba ya Isalaele esanganaki mpo na kokomisa ye mokonzi.
Rehoboam went to Shechem, for all Israel was coming to Shechem to make him king.
2 Kasi sima na Jeroboami, mwana mobali ya Nebati, koyoka sango yango wuta na Ejipito epai wapi akendeki kobombama mpo na kokima mokonzi Salomo, azongaki wuta na Ejipito.
When Jeroboam the son of Nebat heard this (for he was in Egypt, where he had fled from King Solomon), he returned from Egypt.
3 Boye, batindaki bato kobenga Jeroboami; bongo ye Jeroboami elongo na lisanga mobimba ya Isalaele bakendeki epai ya Roboami mpe balobaki na ye:
So they sent and called him, and Jeroboam and all Israel came; they spoke to Rehoboam and said,
4 — Tata na yo anyokolaki biso makasi. Kasi sik’oyo, yo, lembisa misala makasi mpe mikumba oyo tata na yo atia na mito na biso; bongo biso, tokosalela yo.
“Your father made our yoke difficult. Now therefore, make your father's hard work easier, and lighten the heavy yoke that he put on us, and we will serve you.”
5 Roboami azongisaki: — Bopesa ngai mikolo misato mpo na koyekola likambo yango, bongo bozongela ngai. Mpe bato bakendeki.
Rehoboam said to them, “Come again to me after three days.” So the people left.
6 Mokonzi Roboami atunaki toli epai ya bampaka oyo basalaki elongo na Salomo, tata na ye, tango azalaki nanu na bomoi. Alobaki na bango: — Toli nini bozali kopesa ngai lokola eyano ya kopesa epai ya bato oyo?
King Rehoboam consulted with the old men who had stood before Solomon his father while he was alive; he said, “How would you advise me to bring an answer to these people?”
7 Bazongiselaki ye: — Soki omitalisi lokola moto malamu epai ya bato oyo, soki olobeli bango na boboto mpe opesi bango eyano ya malamu, bakozala tango nyonso basali na yo.
They spoke to him and said, “If you are good to this people and please them, and say good words to them, then they will always be your servants.”
8 Kasi Roboami aboyaki toli oyo bampaka bapesaki ye; asengaki toli epai ya bilenge mibali oyo bakolaki esika moko na ye mpe bazalaki kosalela ye.
But Rehoboam ignored the advice of the old men that they had given him, and consulted with the young men who had grown up with him, who stood before him.
9 Atunaki bango: — Toli nini bozali kopesa lokola eyano ya kopesa epai ya bato oyo balobi na ngai: « Lembisa misala makasi mpe mikumba oyo tata na yo atia na mito na biso? »
He said to them, “What advice do you give me, so that we may answer the people who spoke to me and said, 'Lighten the yoke that your father put on us'?”
10 Bilenge mibali oyo bakolaki esika moko na ye bazongisaki: — Tala makambo oyo okoyebisa bato oyo balobi na yo: « Tata na yo anyokolaki biso na misala makasi; kasi yo, lembisela biso yango! » Yebisa bango: « Mosapi na ngai ya moke eleki loketo ya tata na ngai na monene.
The young men who had grown up with Rehoboam spoke to him, saying, “This is how you should speak to the people who told you that your father Solomon made their yoke heavy, but that you must make it lighter. This is what you should say to them, 'My little finger is thicker than my father's waist.
11 Kobanda lelo, soki tata na ngai anyokolaki bino na misala makasi, ngai nakoyeisa yango lisusu makasi koleka; soki tata na ngai azalaki kobeta bino fimbu ya poso ya nyama, ngai nakobeta bino fimbu ya ebende. »
So now, although my father burdened you with a heavy yoke, I will add to your yoke. My father punished you with whips, but I will punish you with scorpions.'”
12 Sima na mikolo misato, Jeroboami elongo na bato nyonso bazongaki epai ya Roboami, ndenge mokonzi ayebisaki bango: « Bozongela ngai sima na mikolo misato. »
So Jeroboam and all the people came to Rehoboam on the third day, as the king said, “Come back to me on the third day.”
13 Mokonzi Roboami aboyaki kosalela toli oyo bampaka bapesaki ye, ayanolaki bato na maloba mabe makasi;
Rehoboam spoke to them harshly, ignoring the advice of the old men.
14 alandaki toli ya bilenge mibali mpe ayebisaki bango: — Soki tata na ngai anyokolaki bino na misala makasi, ngai nakoyeisa yango lisusu makasi koleka; soki tata na ngai azalaki kobeta bino fimbu ya poso ya nyama, ngai nakobeta bino fimbu ya ebende.
He spoke to them following the advice of the young men, saying, “My father made your yoke heavy, but I will add to it. My father punished you with whips, but I will punish you with scorpions.”
15 Mokonzi aboyaki koyoka bato, pamba te ezalaki Nzambe nde asalaki bongo mpo na kokokisa Liloba oyo Yawe ayebisaki Jeroboami, mwana mobali ya Nebati, na nzela ya mosakoli Ayiya, moto ya Silo.
So the king did not listen to the people, for it was a turn in events brought about by God, that Yahweh might carry out his word that Ahijah the Shilonite had spoken to Jeroboam son of Nebat.
16 Tango bana nyonso ya Isalaele bamonaki ete mokonzi aboyi koyoka bango, bazongiselaki ye: — Eloko nini ya lisanga tozali na yango na Davidi? Tozali na eloko moko te ya lisanga na mwana mobali ya Izayi! Isalaele, tika ete moto na moto azonga na ndako na ye ya kapo! Mpe yo, mokitani ya Davidi, tikala kotala makambo ya ndako na yo! Wana bana nyonso ya Isalaele bazongaki na bandako na bango ya kapo,
When all Israel saw that the king did not listen to them, the people answered him and said, “What share do we have in David? We have no inheritance in the son of Jesse! Each of you should go back to his tent, Israel. Now see to your own house, David.” So all Israel returned to their tents.
17 Roboami akobaki kokonza bana ya Isalaele oyo bazalaki kovanda na bingumba ya Yuda.
But as for the people of Israel who lived in the cities of Judah, Rehoboam reigned over them.
18 Mokonzi Roboami atindaki Adorami oyo azalaki motambolisi ya misala makasi, kasi bana ya Isalaele babambaki ye mabanga mpe akufaki. Nzokande, mokonzi Roboami alongaki komata na shar na ye mpo na kokima na Yelusalemi.
Then King Rehoboam sent Adoniram, who was over the forced laborers, but the people of Israel stoned him to death with stones. King Rehoboam fled quickly in his chariot to Jerusalem.
19 Ezali boye nde bana ya Isalaele batombokelaki ndako ya Davidi kino na mokolo ya lelo.
So Israel has been in rebellion against the house of David to this day.
