< 1 Kings 22 >

1 Then three years passed without war between Syria and Israel.
Bitumba ezalaki te kati ya Isalaele mpe Siri mibu misato.
2 But in the third year, Jehoshaphat, the king of Judah, descended to the king of Israel.
Kasi na mobu ya misato, Jozafati, mokonzi ya Yuda, akendeki kotala mokonzi ya Isalaele.
3 And the king of Israel said to his servants, “Are you ignorant that Ramoth Gilead is ours, and that we have neglected to take it from the hand of the king of Syria?”
Mokonzi ya Isalaele alobaki na bakalaka na ye: « Boyebi malamu ete Ramoti ya Galadi ezalaka ya biso! Nzokande, tosalaka eloko moko te mpo na kobotola yango na maboko ya mokonzi ya Siri. »
4 And so he said to Jehoshaphat, “Will you come to the battle with me at Ramoth Gilead?”
Alobaki mpe na Jozafati: — Boni, okoki solo kosepela kokende elongo na ngai mpo na kobundisa Ramoti ya Galadi? Jozafati azongiselaki mokonzi ya Isalaele: — Ngai mpe yo, bato na ngai mpe bato na yo, tozali se moko, ezala bampunda na ngai mpe bampunda na yo.
5 And Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel: “As I am, so also are you. My people and your people are one. And my horsemen are your horsemen.” And Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, “I beg you to inquire today of the word of the Lord.”
Jozafati alobaki lisusu na mokonzi ya Isalaele: — Nabondeli yo, tuna nanu toli ya Yawe.
6 Therefore, the king of Israel gathered together the prophets, about four hundred men, and he said to them, “Should I go to Ramoth Gilead to make war, or should I be at peace?” They responded, “Ascend, and the Lord will give it into the hand of the king.”
Boye mokonzi ya Isalaele asangisaki basakoli pene nkama minei mpe atunaki bango: — Nakoki solo kokende kobundisa Ramoti ya Galadi to te? Bazongiselaki ye: — Kende, pamba te Nkolo akokaba yango na maboko ya mokonzi.
7 Then Jehoshaphat said, “Is there not here a particular prophet of the Lord, so that we may inquire by him?”
Kasi Jozafati atunaki lisusu: — Ezali lisusu na mosakoli moko te awa oyo na nzela na ye tokoki kotuna toli ya Yawe?
8 And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat: “One man remains, by whom we may be able to inquire of the Lord: Micaiah, the son of Imlah. But I hate him. For he does not prophecy good to me, but evil.” And Jehoshaphat said, “You should not speak in this way, O king.”
Mokonzi ya Isalaele azongiselaki Jozafati: — Ezali lisusu na moto moko oyo na nzela na ye tokoki kotuna toli ya Yawe, kasi ngai nalingaka ye te; pamba te asakolaka makambo ya malamu te mpo na bomoi na ngai, asakolaka kaka makambo ya mabe. Ezali Mishe, mwana mobali ya Yimila. Jozafati alobaki: — Tika ete mokonzi aloba bongo te!
9 Therefore, the king of Israel called a certain eunuch, and he said to him, “Hurry to bring here Micaiah, the son of Imlah.”
Bongo, mokonzi ya Isalaele abengaki moko kati na bakalaka na ye ya lokumu mpe alobaki na ye: « Memela ngai na lombangu Mishe, mwana mobali ya Yimila. »
10 Now the king of Israel, and Jehoshaphat, the king of Judah, were each sitting upon his own throne, clothed in the habit of royal vestments, in a courtyard beside the entrance of the gate of Samaria. And all the prophets were prophesying in their sight.
Mokonzi ya Isalaele mpe Jozafati, mokonzi ya Yuda, balataki bilamba na bango ya bokonzi mpe bavandaki na bakiti na bango ya bokonzi, na etando ya ekotelo ya ekuke ya Samari. Mpe basakoli nyonso bazalaki kosakola liboso na bango.
11 Also, Zedekiah, the son of Chenaanah, made for himself horns of iron, and he said, “Thus says the Lord: With these, you shall threaten Syria, until you destroy it.”
Nzokande moko kati na bango, Sedesiasi, mwana mobali ya Kenaana, asalisaki maseke ya ebende mpe alobaki: « Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: ‹ Na maseke oyo okobeta bato ya Siri kino okosilisa koboma bango. › »
12 And all the prophets were prophesying similarly, saying: “Ascend to Ramoth Gilead, and go forth to success. For the Lord will deliver it into the hands of the king.”
Basakoli nyonso bazalaki koloba kaka liloba moko: « Kende kobundisa Ramoti ya Galadi, okolonga; pamba te Yawe akokaba yango na maboko ya mokonzi. »
13 Then truly, the messenger who had gone to summon Micaiah spoke to him, saying: “Behold, the words of the prophets, as if with one mouth, are predicting good to the king. Therefore, let your word be like theirs, and speak what is good.”
Ntoma oyo akendeki kobenga Mishe alobaki na ye: — Tala, basakoli nyonso bazali koloba liloba kaka moko mpo na kosakola elonga mpo na mokonzi. Boye, tika ete maloba na yo ekokana na maloba na bango: sakola elonga mpo na mokonzi!
14 But Micaiah said to him, “As the Lord lives, whatever the Lord will have said to me, this shall I speak.”
Kasi Mishe azongisaki: — Na Kombo na Yawe, makambo oyo Yawe akoloba na ngai, yango nde nakoloba.
15 And so he went to the king. And the king said to him, “Micaiah, should we go to Ramoth Gilead to do battle, or should we cease?” And he responded to him, “Ascend, and go forth to success, and the Lord will deliver it into the hands of the king.”
Tango akomaki epai ya mokonzi, mokonzi alobaki na ye: — Mishe, tokoki solo kokende kobundisa Ramoti ya Galadi to te? Mishe azongisaki: — Kende! Okolonga! Yawe akokaba yango na maboko ya mokonzi.
16 But the king said to him, “I require you under oath, again and again, that you not say to me anything except what is true, in the name of the Lord.”
Kasi mokonzi alobaki na ye: — Nakolapisa yo ndayi mbala boni mpo ete oloba na ngai kaka bosolo, na Kombo na Yawe?
17 And he said: “I saw all of Israel scattered among the hills, like sheep that have no shepherd. And the Lord said: ‘These have no master. Let each of them return to his own house in peace.’”
Mishe azongisaki: — Namoni bato nyonso ya Isalaele bapalangani na bangomba lokola etonga ya bibwele oyo ezangi mobateli. Mpe Yawe alobi: « Bato oyo bazali lisusu na bakambi te; tika ete moko na moko azonga na ndako na ye na kimia! »
18 Therefore, the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat: “Did I not tell you that he prophesies nothing good to me, but always evil?”
Mokonzi ya Isalaele alobaki na Jozafati: — Nayebisaki yo te ete asakolaka makambo ya malamu te mpo na bomoi na ngai; asakolaka kaka makambo ya mabe!
19 Yet truly, continuing, he said: “Because of his, listen to the word of the Lord. I saw the Lord sitting upon his throne. And the entire army of heaven was standing beside him, to the right and to the left.
Mishe alobaki: — Solo, yoka nde makambo oyo Yawe alobi! Ngai namoni Yawe avandi na Kiti na Ye ya bokonzi, wana mampinga nyonso ya likolo ezingeli Ye, na ngambo ya loboko na Ye ya mobali mpe na ngambo ya loboko na Ye ya mwasi.
20 And the Lord said, ‘Who will mislead Ahab, the king of Israel, so that he may ascend and fall at Ramoth Gilead?’ And one spoke words in this manner, and another spoke otherwise.
Yawe atuni: « Nani akokosa Akabi mpo ete akende kobundisa Ramoti ya Galadi mpe akufa kuna? » Bazongisaki, moko na moko na ndenge na ye.
21 But then a spirit went out and stood before the Lord. And he said, ‘I will mislead him.’ And the Lord said to him, ‘By what means?’
Mpe na suka na nyonso, molimo moko epusanaki, etelemaki liboso ya Yawe mpe elobaki: « Ngai oyo! Nakokosa ye. » Yawe atunaki molimo yango: « Okosala yango ndenge nini? »
22 And he said, ‘I will go forth, and I will be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets.’ And the Lord said: ‘You will deceive him, and you will prevail. Go forth, and do so.’
Molimo yango ezongisaki: « Nakokende mpe nakobongwana molimo ya lokuta kati na minoko ya basakoli na ye nyonso. » Yawe alobaki: « Solo, okolonga kokosa ye! Kende mpe sala bongo. »
23 So now, behold: the Lord has given a lying spirit into the mouth of all your prophets who are here. And the Lord has spoken evil against you.”
Mpe sik’oyo, tala, Yawe atie molimo ya lokuta kati na minoko ya basakoli na yo oyo nyonso; Yawe azwi penza mokano ya koboma yo!
24 Then Zedekiah, the son of Chenaanah, drew near and struck Micaiah on the jaw, and he said, “So then, has the Spirit of the Lord left me, and spoken to you?”
Bongo Sedesiasi, mwana mobali ya Kenaana, apusanaki, apapolaki Mishe mbata na litama mpe alobaki: — Molimo na Yawe abimi kati na ngai na nzela nini mpo ete aya koloba na yo?
25 And Micaiah said, “You shall see in the day when you will enter into a room within a room, so that you may conceal yourself.”
Mishe azongisaki: — Okososola yango kaka na mokolo oyo okokima mpe okotambola na shambre moko na moko mpo na koluka kobombama.
26 And the king of Israel said: “Take Micaiah, and let him dwell with Amon, the ruler of the city, and with Joash, the son of Amalech.
Mbala moko, mokonzi ya Isalaele apesaki mitindo: — Bokanga Mishe mpe bomema ye epai ya Amoni, moyangeli ya engumba, mpe epai ya Joasi, mwana mobali ya mokonzi.
27 And tell them: ‘Thus says the king: Put this man in prison, and sustain him with the bread of affliction, and with the water of distress, until I return in peace.’”
Boloba na bango: « Tala makambo oyo mokonzi alobi: ‹ Bobwaka moto oyo na boloko mpe bopesa ye bilei mosusu te, kaka lipa mpe mayi kino tango nakozonga na kimia. › »
28 And Micaiah said, “If you will have returned in peace, the Lord has not spoken through me.” And he said, “May all the people hear it.”
Mishe alobaki: — Soki penza yo ozongi na kimia, loba ete Yawe alobaki na nzela na ngai te! Abakisaki: — Bino bato nyonso, bosimba makambo oyo nalobi!
29 And so, the king of Israel, and Jehoshaphat, the king of Judah, ascended to Ramoth Gilead.
Mokonzi ya Isalaele mpe Jozafati, mokonzi ya Yuda, bakendeki kobundisa Ramoti ya Galadi.
30 Then the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat: “Take up your armor, and enter the battle. And be clothed in your own garments.” But the king of Israel changed his clothing, and he entered the war.
Mokonzi ya Isalaele alobaki na Jozafati: « Nakomibongola wana nakokende na bitumba; kasi yo, lata bilamba na yo ya bokonzi. » Boye mokonzi ya Isalaele amibongolaki mpe akendeki na bitumba.
31 Now the king of Syria had instructed the thirty-two commanders of the chariots, saying, “You shall not fight against anyone, small or great, except against the king of Israel alone.”
Nzokande, mokonzi ya Siri apesaki mitindo epai ya bakonzi na ye ya basoda, tuku misato na mibale, oyo batambolisaka bashar: « Bobundisa moto moko te, azala moke to monene; kasi bobundisa kaka mokonzi ya Isalaele. »
32 Therefore, when the commanders of the chariots saw Jehoshaphat, they suspected that he was the king of Israel. And making a violent assault, they fought against him. And Jehoshaphat cried out.
Tango bakonzi na ye ya basoda, oyo batambolisaka bashar, bamonaki Jozafati, bamilobelaki: « Ezali solo mokonzi ya Isalaele. » Balandaki ye mpo na kobundisa ye, kasi Jozafati agangaki makasi.
33 And the commanders of the chariots understood that he was not the king of Israel, and so they turned away from him.
Tango bakonzi ya basoda, oyo batambolisaka bashar, basosolaki ete ezali mokonzi ya Isalaele te, batikaki kolanda ye.
34 But a certain man bent his bow, aiming the arrow without certitude, and by chance he struck the king of Israel, between the lungs and the stomach. Then he said to the driver of his chariot, “Turn your hand, and carry me away from the army, for I have been grievously wounded.”
Kasi moto moko ya Siri abetaki tolotolo na ye bibetela, mpe mbanzi na yango edusolaki ebombelo ya tolo ya mokonzi ya Isalaele mpe ezwaki ye. Mokonzi alobaki na motambolisi ya shar: « Baluka mpe bimisa ngai libanda ya esika oyo bitumba ezali koleka, pamba te nazoki. »
35 Then the battle was undertaken throughout that day. And the king of Israel was standing on his chariot opposite the Syrians, and he died in the evening. For the blood was flowing from the wound into the joints of the chariot.
Na mokolo yango, lokola bitumba ezalaki makasi, mokonzi atikalaki ya kotelema kati na shar na ye liboso ya bato ya Siri; mpe na pokwa, akufaki. Makila oyo ebimaki na pota na ye esopanaki kati na shar.
36 And a herald proclaimed throughout the entire army, before the setting of the sun, saying: “Let each one return to his own city, and to his own land.”
Na pokwa, makelele moko ezalaki kotambola kati na mampinga: « Tika ete moto na moto azonga na engumba na ye; tika ete moto na moto azonga na mabele na ye! »
37 Then the king died, and he was carried into Samaria. And they buried the king in Samaria.
Boye mokonzi akufaki, mpe bamemaki ye na Samari; mpe bakundaki ye kuna.
38 And they washed his chariot in the pool of Samaria. And the dogs licked up his blood. And they washed the reins, in accord with the word of the Lord which he had spoken.
Basukolaki shar na ye na liziba moko oyo ezalaki na Samari epai wapi basi ya ndumba bazalaki kosukola; mpe bambwa elembolaki makila na ye kolanda maloba oyo Yawe alobaki.
39 But the rest of the words of Ahab, and all that he did, and the house of ivory that he built, and all the cities that he constructed, were these not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Israel?
Makambo mosusu oyo etali bokonzi ya Akabi, misala na ye, ndako oyo atongisaki na pembe ya nzoko mpe bingumba nyonso oyo alendisaki, ekomama kati na buku ya masolo ya bakonzi ya Isalaele.
40 And so, Ahab slept with his fathers. And Ahaziah, his son, reigned in his place.
Akabi akendeki kokutana na bakoko na ye. Mpe Akazia, mwana na ye ya mobali, akitanaki na ye na bokonzi.
41 Yet truly, Jehoshaphat, the son of Asa, had begun to reign over Judah in the fourth year of Ahab, the king of Israel.
Jozafati, mwana mobali ya Asa, akomaki mokonzi ya Yuda na mobu ya minei ya bokonzi ya Akabi, mokonzi ya Isalaele.
42 He was thirty-five years old when he had begun to reign, and he reigned for twenty-five years in Jerusalem. The name of his mother was Azubah, the daughter of Shilhi.
Jozafati azalaki na mibu tuku misato na mitano ya mbotama tango akomaki mokonzi, mpe akonzaki mibu tuku mibale na mitano na Yelusalemi. Kombo ya mama na ye ezalaki « Azuba. » Azuba azalaki mwana mwasi ya Shili.
43 And he walked in the entire way of Asa, his father, and he did not decline from it. And he did what was right in the sight of the Lord. Yet truly, he did not take away the high places. For still the people were sacrificing and burning incense in the high places.
Jozafati alandaki nzela nyonso oyo Asa, tata na ye, atambolaki na yango mpe apengwaki na yango ata moke te; asalaki makambo ya sembo na miso ya Yawe. Nzokande, balongolaki te bisambelo ya likolo ya bangomba; bato bakobaki kaka kobonza kuna bambeka mpe kotumba ansa.
44 And Jehoshaphat had peace with the king of Israel.
Jozafati abikaki na kimia elongo na mokonzi ya Isalaele.
45 But the rest of the words of Jehoshaphat, and his works that he did, and the battles, were these not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Judah?
Makambo mosusu oyo etali bokonzi ya Jozafati, misala na ye mpe bitumba na ye ekomama kati na buku ya masolo ya bakonzi ya Yuda.
46 Then, too, the remnant of the effeminate, who had remained in the days of Asa, his father, he took away from the land.
Ezalaki ye nde moto alongolaki kati na mokili, bato ya suka oyo bazalaki komipesa na kindumba ya bule, oyo batikalaki na tango Asa, tata na ye, azalaki na bokonzi.
47 At that time, there was no king appointed in Idumea.
Na tango wana, mokonzi azalaki te kati na mokili ya Edomi. Ezalaki kaka na moyangeli moko oyo azalaki kotambolisa kuna.
48 Yet truly, king Jehoshaphat had made a navy on the sea, which would sail to Ophir for gold. But they were unable to go, because the ships were broken down at Eziongeber.
Jozafati asalisaki bamasuwa ya Tarsisi mpo na kokende koluka wolo na Ofiri; kasi elongaki te kokende, pamba te bamasuwa ebukanaki na Etsioni-Geberi.
49 Then Ahaziah, the son of Ahab, said to Jehoshaphat, “Let my servants go with your servants on the ships.” But Jehoshaphat was not willing.
Boye Akazia, mwana mobali ya Akabi, alobaki na Jozafati: « Tika ete basali na ngai bakende nzela moko na basali na yo na bamasuwa! » Kasi Jozafati aboyaki.
50 And Jehoshaphat slept with his fathers, and he was buried with them in the city of David, his father. And Jehoram, his son, reigned in his place.
Jozafati akendeki kokutana na bakoko na ye, mpe bakundaki ye esika moko na bakoko na ye kati na engumba ya Davidi, koko na ye. Yorami, mwana na ye ya mobali, akitanaki na ye na bokonzi.
51 Then Ahaziah, the son of Ahab, began to reign over Israel, in Samaria, in the seventeenth year of Jehoshaphat, the king of Judah. And he reigned over Israel for two years.
Tango Jozafati, mokonzi ya Yuda, akokisaki mibu zomi na sambo na bokonzi, Akazia, mwana mobali ya Akabi, akomaki mokonzi na Isalaele na Samari. Asalaki mibu mibale na bokonzi.
52 And he did evil in the sight of the Lord. And he walked in the way of his father and his mother, and in the way of Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, who caused Israel to sin.
Asalaki makambo mabe na miso ya Yawe; pamba te alandaki banzela ya tata na ye, ya mama na ye mpe ya Jeroboami, mwana mobali ya Nebati, oyo asalaki ete Isalaele asala lisumu.
53 Also, he served Baal, and he adored him, and he provoked the Lord, the God of Israel, in accord with all that his father had done.
Asalelaki nzambe Bala mpe agumbamelaki yango; na bongo, apelisaki kanda ya Yawe, Nzambe ya Isalaele, ndenge kaka tata na ye asalaki.
