Mukanda Muibidi wa Kulondolola 20:1-37
20 Pakapita matuku, bena Moaba+ ne bena Amona+ pamue ne bamue bena Amonima* bakalua bua kuela Yehoshafata mvita.
2 Nunku bakambila Yehoshafata ne: “Musumba munene wa bantu mmulue bua kukuluisha umbukila mu tshitupa tshia buloba tshia ku mbuu,* ku Edome,+ ne mbobu abu mu Hasasona-tamâ, mmumue ne: Ene-gedi.”+
3 Ke Yehoshafata kupeta buôwa, ne kudisuikaye* bua kukeba Yehowa.+ Nunku wakamba bua bajile biakudia mu Yuda mujima.
4 Pashishe bantu ba mu Yuda bakadisangisha pamue bua kuebeja Yehowa malu;+ bavua bafumina mu bimenga bionso bia mu Yuda bua kuebeja Yehowa malu.
5 Pashishe Yehoshafata wakimana kuulu mu tshisumbu tshia Yuda ne Yelushalema mu nzubu wa Yehowa kumpala kua lubanza lupialupia,
6 kuambaye ne:
“Wewe Yehowa Nzambi wa bankambua betu, wewe kuena Nzambi mu diulu anyi?+ Kuena ne bukokeshi ku mutu kua makalenge onso a bisamba anyi?+ Mu tshianza tshiebe mudi bukokeshi ne bukole, ne muntu nansha umue kena mua kuimana kumpala kuebe to.+
7 Wewe Nzambi wetu, kuvuaku muipate bena mu buloba ebu kumpala kua tshisamba tshiebe tshia Isalele ne pashishe mubupeshe bana* ba mulunda webe Abalahama bua buikale buloba buabu bua kashidi anyi?+
8 Bakasombelamu, bobu kukuibakilamu muaba munsantu bua dîna diebe+ bamba ne:
9 ‘Dikenga diodi ditukuate, nansha ku muele wa mvita, ku dilumbuluisha didi dikebesha dikenga, ku tshipupu, anyi ku tshiyole tshia nzala, tuimanaku kumpala kua nzubu eu ne kumpala kuebe (bualu dîna diebe didi mu nzubu eu),+ tukulombe diambuluisha mu dikenga dietu, ne ututelejaku, utupandishe.’+
10 Mpindieu mona bantu ba mu Amona, mu Moaba ne mu buloba bua mikuna bua Seî,+ bena maloba auvua kuyi muitabile bena Isalele bua kukuata pavuabu bapatuke mu buloba bua Ejipitu. Bakayila kule nabu ne kabakababutula to.+
11 Mpindieu bakadi batufuta pa kubuela bua kutuipata mu buloba buebe buudi mutupeshe bu bumpianyi.+
12 Wewe Nzambi wetu, kuakubalumbuluisha anyi?+ Bualu tuetu katuena ne bukole kumpala kua musumba munene wa bantu udi ulua bua kutuluisha eu to; ne katuena bamanye tshitudi ne bua kuenza to,+ kadi mêsu etu adi kuudi.”+
13 Pine apu, bena Yuda bonso bavua bimane kumpala kua Yehowa, bikale ne bana babu ba batekete, bakaji babu, ne bana babu balela.*
14 Pashishe nyuma wa Yehowa wakatulukila Yahaziele muana wa Zekâya muana wa Benaya muana wa Yiele muana wa Matanaya muena Lewi wa mu bana ba Asafa munkatshi mua tshisumbu.
15 Wakamba ne: “Yuda mujima ne nuenu badi basombele mu Yelushalema ne mukalenge Yehoshafata, telejayi! Yehowa udi unuambila nunku: ‘Kanutshinyi anyi kanuikadi ne buôwa bua musumba munene wa bantu eu, bualu mvita ki nyenu to, kadi nya Nzambi.+
16 Malaba nubapuekele. Nebikale benda babanda ne njila wa ku Sisi, ne nenubapete ku ndekelu kua tshibandabanda* kumpala kua tshipela tshia Yeluele.
17 Kanuena ne bualu bua kuluangana mvita eyi to. Dilongololayi, nushale bimane,+ ne numone lupandu lua Yehowa bua bualu buenu.*+ Wewe Yuda ne Yelushalema, kanutshinyi anyi kanuikadi ne buôwa to.+ Malaba nubapatukile, ne Yehowa neikale nenu.’”+
18 Diakamue Yehoshafata wakinama, kutuaye mpala panshi, ne Yuda mujima ne bantu ba mu Yelushalema bakadiela panshi kumpala kua Yehowa bua kutendelela Yehowa.
19 Pashishe bena Lewi bavua ndelanganyi ya bena Kohata+ ne bena Kola bakajuka bua kutumbisha Yehowa Nzambi wa Isalele ne dîyi dikole menemene.+
20 Pakatshiabu, bakajuka mu dinda menemene, kuyabu mu tshipela tshia Tekoa.+ Pavuabu benda baya, Yehoshafata wakimana kuulu, kuambaye ne: “Nuenu bena Yuda ne nuenu bena mu Yelushalema, ntelejayi! Ikalayi ne ditabuja kudi Yehowa Nzambi wenu bua numone mua kuimana bashindame.* Ikalayi ne ditabuja kudi baprofete bende,+ nunku malu enu neende bimpe.”
21 Yeye mumane kuyukila ne bantu, wakateka bamue bua kuimbila Yehowa misambu+ ne bua kumutumbisha bavuale bintu bilengele bia tshijila pavuabu benda baya bikale kumpala kua bantu bavua ne bia mvita, bamba ne: “Elayi Yehowa tuasakidila, bualu dinanga diende dia lulamatu didi dishalaku kashidi.”+
22 Pakatuadijabu kuimba misambu ya kutumbisha nayi Nzambi ne disanka, Yehowa wakatekela bantu ba mu Amona, ba mu Moaba, ne ba mu buloba bua mikuna bua Seî bavua babuele mu Yuda buteyi, bobu kushipangana nkayabu.+
23 Bena Amona ne bena Moaba bakakudimukila bantu ba mu buloba bua mikuna bua Seî+ bua kubashipa ne kubabutula; pakajikijanganabu ne bantu ba mu Seî, bakambuluisha bua kushipangana nkayabu.+
24 Kadi pavua bena Yuda bafike ku tshibumba tshia nsentedi tshia ku tshipela+ ne batangile kuvua musumba wa bantu, tangilayi, bakamona bitalu biabu bikuluke panshi;+ kakuvua muntu uvua mushale ne muoyo to.
25 Nunku Yehoshafata ne bantu bende bakalua bua kuambula bintu biabu, bobu kusangana bintu bia bungi munkatshi muabu, bilamba, ne bintu bimpe bivuabu bangate kudibu too ne muvuabu kabayi mua kuambula kabidi tshintu.+ Bakenza matuku asatu bua kuambula bintu abi, bualu bivua bia bungi.
26 Dituku dinayi bakadisangisha pamue mu Tshibandabanda* tshia Belaka, bualu bakatumbisha* Yehowa kuntu aku. Ke bualu kayi bakinyika muaba au ne: Tshibandabanda tshia Belaka,*+ too ne lelu.
27 Pashishe bantu bonso ba mu Yuda ne mu Yelushalema, bikale ne Yehoshafata ku mutu kuabu, bakapingana ku Yelushalema benda basanka, bualu Yehowa uvua mubasankishe bua bualu bua bena lukuna babu.+
28 Nunku bakabuela mu Yelushalema bikale ne biombelu bia nshinga, ne nzenze,+ ne mpungi,+ kuyabu ku nzubu wa Yehowa.+
29 Buôwa bukole bua kudi Nzambi buakakuata makalenge onso a mu maloba pavuabu bumvue ne: Yehowa uvua muluangane ne bena lukuna ba Isalele.+
30 Nunku kabavua batatshisha kabidi bukalenge bua Yehoshafata to, ne Nzambi wende wakatungunuka ne kumupesha dikisha ku nseke yonso.+
31 Yehoshafata wakatungunuka ne kukokesha mu Yuda. Uvua ne bidimu 35 pavuaye mulue mukalenge, ne wakakokesha mu Yelushalema bidimu 25. Dîna dia mamuende divua Azuba muana wa Shilihi.+
32 Wakatungunuka ne kuendela mu njila wa tatuende Asa.+ Kavua mumbukamu to, ne wakenza malu mimpe ku mêsu kua Yehowa.+
33 Kadi miaba mitumbuke kayivua miumbusha to,+ ne bantu kabavua banji kulongolola mioyo yabu bua Nzambi wa bankambua babu to.+
34 Bua malu adi mashale a ku malu a Yehoshafata, kutuadijila ku mbangilu kuawu too ne ku ndekelu, monayi, mmafunda mu mêyi a Yehu+ muana wa Hanani+ avuabu balue kuela mu Mukanda wa bakalenge ba Isalele.
35 Panyima pa malu aa, Yehoshafata mukalenge wa Yuda wakadia tshipungidi ne Ahazaya mukalenge wa Isalele uvua muenze malu mabi.+
36 Nunku wakadisangisha nende bua kuenza mazuwa bua kuyawu ku Tâshishi,+ bobu kuenza mazuwa mu Esione-gebê.+
37 Kadi Eliezê muana wa Dodawahu wa ku Malesha wakambila Yehoshafata mêyi a buprofete wamba ne: “Bu muudi mudie tshipungidi ne Ahazaya, Yehowa neanyangakaje midimu yebe.”+ Nunku mazuwa akatshibukila mu mâyi,+ ne kaavua mua kuya ku Tâshishi to.
