1 Kings 21
1 And after these things, in that time, there was a vineyard of Naboth, the Jezreelite, who was in Jezreel, beside the palace of Ahab, the king of Samaria.
Sima na mwa tango, likama moko ekweyelaki Naboti, moto ya Jizireyeli, likolo ya elanga na ye ya vino oyo ezalaki na Jizireyeli, pembeni ya ndako ya Akabi, mokonzi na Samari.
2 Therefore, Ahab spoke to Naboth, saying: “Give your vineyard to me, so that I may make for myself a garden of herbs. For it is nearby and is beside my house. And I will give to you, in place of it, a better vineyard. Or if you consider it to be more convenient for you, I will give you the price in silver, whatever it is worth.”
Mokolo moko, Akabi alobaki na Naboti: — Pesa ngai elanga na yo ya vino mpo ete nakomisa yango elanga na ngai ya ndunda, pamba te ezali pene ya ndako na ngai; mpe ngai nakopesa yo elanga mosusu ya vino oyo eleki kitoko na esika ya elanga na yo; to soki olingi, nakopesa yo mosolo oyo ekokani na motuya na yango.
3 Naboth responded to him, “May the Lord be gracious to me, lest I give to you the inheritance of my fathers.”
Kasi Naboti azongiselaki Akabi: — Na Kombo na Yawe, nakoki te kopesa yo libula oyo bakoko na ngai batikela ngai.
4 Then Ahab went into his house, angry and gnashing his teeth over the word that Naboth, the Jezreelite, had spoken to him, saying, “I will not give you the inheritance of my fathers.” And casting himself on his bed, he turned away his face to the wall, and he would not eat bread.
Akabi azongaki epai na ye na mawa mpe na kanda mpo na maloba oyo Naboti, moto ya Jizireyeli, ayebisaki ye: « Nakoki te kopesa yo libula oyo bakoko na ngai batikela ngai. » Alalaki na mbeto na ye, atalisaki elongi na ye na mir mpe aboyaki kolia.
5 Then Jezebel, his wife, entered to him, and she said to him: “What is this matter, by which your soul has been saddened? And why do you not eat bread?”
Mwasi na ye, Jezabeli, ayaki epai na ye mpe atunaki ye: — Mpo na nini ozali na mawa mpe oboyi kolia?
6 And he responded to her: “I spoke to Naboth, the Jezreelite, and I said to him: ‘Give your vineyard to me, and accept money. Or if it pleases you, I will give to you a better vineyard, in place of it.’ And he said, ‘I will not give my vineyard to you.’”
Akabi azongiselaki ye: — Ezali mpo ete tango nawuti epai ya Naboti ya Jizireyeli mpe nalobi na ye: « Tekela ngai elanga na yo ya vino; to soki olingi, nakopesa yo mosolo oyo ekokani na motuya na yango. » Kasi ye azongiseli ngai: « Nakoki te kopesa yo elanga na ngai ya vino. »
7 Then Jezebel, his wife, said to him: “You are of great authority, and you rule well in the kingdom of Israel. Rise up and eat bread, and be even-tempered. I will give the vineyard of Naboth, the Jezreelite, to you.”
Bongo mwasi na ye, Jezabeli, alobaki na ye: — Boni, ezali yo nde ozali mokonzi ya Isalaele to te? Lamuka! Lia mpe sepela! Nakopesa yo elanga ya vino ya Naboti, moto ya Jizireyeli.
8 And so, she wrote letters in the name of Ahab, and she sealed these with his ring. And she sent to those greater by birth, and to the nobles who were in his city and living with Naboth.
Boye, Jezabeli akomaki mikanda na kombo ya Akabi, atiaki yango kashe ya mokonzi mpe atindaki yango epai ya bampaka mpe bankumu oyo bazalaki kovanda engumba moko na Naboti.
9 And this was the judgment of the letters: “Proclaim a fast, and cause Naboth to sit among the first rulers of the people.
Tala makambo oyo akomaki na mikanda yango: « Bobongisa mokolo moko ya kokila bilei mpe bobengisa bato na mayangani epai wapi bokotia Naboti na esika ya liboso.
10 And send out two men, sons of Belial, against him. And let them speak the false testimony: ‘He has blasphemed God and king.’ And then lead him away, and stone him, and so let him die.”
Bongo botia mpe liboso na ye bato ya kilikili mibale oyo bakokosela ye makambo na maloba oyo: ‹ Olakeli Nzambe mpe mokonzi mabe! › Na sima, bomema ye na libanda ya engumba mpe boboma ye na mabanga. »
11 Then his fellow citizens, those greater by birth and the nobles who were living with him in the city, did just as Jezebel had instructed them, and just as it was written in the letters that she had sent to them.
Boye, bampaka mpe bankumu oyo bazalaki kovanda engumba moko na Naboti batosaki mitindo oyo Jezabeli apesaki bango na nzela na mikanda.
12 They proclaimed a fast, and they caused Naboth to sit among the first rulers of the people.
Babongisaki mokolo ya kokila bilei mpe bavandisaki Naboti na esika ya liboso kati na bato.
13 And bringing forward two men, sons of the devil, they caused them to sit opposite him. And they, acting indeed like diabolical men, spoke testimony against him before the multitude: “Naboth has blasphemed God and king.” For this reason, they led him away, beyond the city, and they put him to death by stoning.
Bato mibale ya kilikili bayaki kovanda liboso na ye mpe bakomaki kokosela ye makambo na miso ya bato nyonso na maloba oyo: « Naboti alakeli Nzambe mpe mokonzi mabe! » Sima na yango, babimisaki ye na libanda ya engumba mpe babomaki ye na mabanga.
14 And they sent to Jezebel, saying, “Naboth has been stoned, and he has died.”
Bongo bampaka mpe bankumu batindaki maloba oyo epai ya Jezabeli: « Basili koboma Naboti na mabanga. »
15 Then it happened that, when Jezebel had heard that Naboth was stoned and was dead, she said to Ahab: “Rise up and take possession of the vineyard of Naboth, the Jezreelite, who was not willing to acquiesce to you, and to give it to you in exchange for money. For Naboth is not alive, but dead.”
Tango Jezabeli ayokaki ete babomi Naboti na mabanga, alobaki na Akabi: « Telema, kende kokamata elanga ya vino ya Naboti, moto ya Jizireyeli, elanga oyo aboyaki kotekela yo, pamba te Naboti azali lisusu na bomoi te, asili kokufa. »
16 And when Ahab had heard this, namely, that Naboth was dead, he rose up and descended to the vineyard of Naboth, the Jezreelite, so that he might take possession of it.
Tango kaka Akabi ayokaki ete Naboti, moto ya Jizireyeli, asili kokufa, atelemaki mpe akendeki kokamata elanga ya vino ya Naboti.
17 Then the word of the Lord came to Elijah, the Tishbite, saying:
Bongo Yawe alobaki na Eliya, moto ya Tishibe, maloba oyo:
18 “Rise up, and descend to meet Ahab, the king of Israel, who is in Samaria. Behold, he is descending to the vineyard of Naboth, so that he may take possession of it.
« Kende kokutana na Akabi, mokonzi ya Isalaele, oyo azali kokonza wuta na Samari. Na ngonga oyo, azali kati na elanga ya vino ya Naboti epai wapi akendeki mpo na kokamata yango.
19 And you shall speak to him, saying: ‘Thus says the Lord: You have killed. Moreover you have also taken possession.’ And after this, you shall add: ‘Thus says the Lord: In this place, where the dogs have licked the blood of Naboth, they shall also lick your blood.’”
Okoyebisa ye makambo oyo: Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: ‹ Boni, ozali mobomi te mpe oyibi te? › Okobakisa lisusu: ‹ Tala makambo oyo Yawe alobi: Kaka na esika oyo bambwa elembolaki makila ya Naboti, kaka na esika yango mpe ekolembola makila na yo. › »
20 And Ahab said to Elijah, “Have you discovered me to be your enemy?” And he said: “I have discovered you to have been sold, so that you would do evil in the sight of the Lord:
Tango Akabi amonaki Eliya, alobaki: — Ah, monguna na ngai, omoni ngai kaka! Eliya azongisaki: — Solo, namoni yo; pamba te omitekaki yo moko mpo na kosala makambo mabe na miso ya Yawe.
21 ‘Behold, I will lead evil over you. And I will cut down your posterity. And I will put to death of Ahab whatever urinates against a wall, and whatever is lame, and whatever is last in Israel.
Boye, tala makambo oyo Yawe alobi: « Nakotindela yo pasi ya makasi. Nakokombola bakitani na yo mpe nakolongola epai ya Akabi mwana mobali nyonso ya libota na yo: azala mowumbu to monsomi kati na Isalaele.
22 And I will cause your house to be like the house of Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, and like the house of Baasha, the son of Ahijah. For you have acted so that you provoked me to anger, and so that you caused Israel to sin.’
Nakokomisa ndako na yo lokola ndako ya Jeroboami, mwana mobali ya Nebati, mpe lokola ndako ya Baesha, mwana mobali ya Ayiya; pamba te opesi Ngai kanda mpe osali ete Isalaele asala masumu. »
23 And about Jezebel also, the Lord spoke, saying: ‘The dogs shall consume Jezebel in the field of Jezreel.
Tala lisusu makambo oyo Yawe alobi na tina na Jezabeli: « Bambwa ekolia Jezabeli pene ya mir ya Jizireyeli.
24 If Ahab will have died in the city, the dogs will consume him. But if he will have died in the field, the birds of the air will consume him.’”
Moto nyonso ya libota ya Akabi oyo akokufa kati na engumba, bambwa ekolia ye; mpe oyo nyonso akokufa na zamba, bandeke ya likolo ekotobola-tobola ye. »
25 And so, there was no other person similar to Ahab, who was sold so that he did evil in the sight of the Lord. For his wife, Jezebel, urged him on.
Solo, ezalaki na moto moko te oyo amitekaki na kosala mabe na miso ya Yawe lokola Akabi. Ezalaki mwasi na ye Jezabeli nde azalaki kotindika ye kosala mabe.
26 And he became abominable, so much so that he followed the idols that the Amorites had made, whom the Lord consumed before the face of the sons of Israel.
Asalaki makambo ya nkele koleka na kosambela banzambe ya bikeko ndenge bato ya Amori oyo Yawe abenganaki liboso ya Isalaele bazalaki kosala.
27 Then, when Ahab had heard these words, he tore his garments, and he put haircloth on his body, and he fasted, and he slept in sackcloth, and he walked with his head downcast.
Tango Akabi ayokaki makambo oyo, apasolaki bilamba na ye, alataki bilamba ya saki mpe akilaki bilei. Azalaki kolala na bilamba ya saki mpe azalaki kotambola malembe-malembe.
28 And the word of the Lord came to Elijah, the Tishbite, saying:
Bongo Yawe alobaki lisusu na Eliya, moto ya Tishibe:
29 “Have you not seen how Ahab has humbled himself before me? Therefore, since he has humbled himself because of me, I will not lead in the evil during his days. Instead, during the days of his son, I will bring in the evil to his house.”
« Omoni ndenge nini Akabi amikitisi liboso na Ngai? Lokola amikitisi liboso na ngai, nakoyeisa pasi te wana ye akozala nanu na bomoi; kasi nakotinda pasi yango na tango mwana na ye ya mobali akozala na bokonzi. »
