2 Kings 2
1 Now it happened that, when the Lord willed to lift up Elijah into heaven by a whirlwind, Elijah and Elisha were going out of Gilgal.
Tango Yawe akomaki pene ya konetola Eliya na likolo na nzela ya mopepe makasi, Eliya mpe Elize balongwaki na Giligali.
2 And Elijah said to Elisha: “Remain here. For the Lord has sent me as far as Bethel.” And Elisha said to him, “As the Lord lives, and as your soul lives, I will not forsake you.” And when they had descended to Bethel,
Eliya alobaki na Elize: — Nabondeli yo, tikala awa; pamba te Yawe atindi ngai na Beteli. Elize azongisaki: — Na Kombo na Yawe mpe na kombo na yo, nakotika yo te! Boye bakendeki na Beteli.
3 the sons of the prophets, who were at Bethel, went out to Elisha. And they said to him, “Do you not know that today the Lord will take away your lord from you?” And he responded: “I know it. Be silent.”
Bayekoli ya basakoli, oyo bazalaki kovanda na Beteli, bayaki epai ya Elize mpe batunaki ye: — Oyebi ete lelo, Yawe akonetola mokonzi na yo na esika oyo ozali? Elize azongisaki: — Solo, nayebi yango, kasi bovanda nye!
4 Then Elijah said to Elisha: “Remain here. For the Lord has sent me to Jericho.” And he said, “As the Lord lives, and as your soul lives, I will not forsake you.” And when they had arrived at Jericho,
Eliya alobaki na Elize: — Tikala awa; Yawe atindi ngai na Jeriko. Elize azongisaki: — Na Kombo na Yawe mpe na kombo na yo, nakotika yo te! Boye bakendeki na Jeriko.
5 the sons of the prophets, who were at Jericho, drew near to Elisha. And they said to him, “Do you not know that today the Lord will take away your lord from you?” And he said: “I know it. Be silent.”
Bayekoli ya basakoli, oyo bazalaki kovanda na Jeriko bayaki epai ya Elize mpe batunaki ye: — Oyebi ete lelo, Yawe akonetola mokonzi na yo na esika oyo ozali? Elize azongisaki: — Solo, nayebi yango, kasi bovanda nye!
6 Then Elijah said to him: “Remain here. For the Lord has sent me as far as the Jordan.” And he said, “As the Lord lives, and as your soul lives, I will not forsake you.” And so, the two of them continued on together.
Eliya alobaki na ye: — Elize, tikala awa; Yawe atindi ngai na Yordani. Elize azongisaki: — Na Kombo na Yawe mpe na kombo na yo, nakotika yo te! Boye bango mibale bakobaki nzela na bango.
7 And fifty men from the sons of the prophets followed them, and they stood opposite them, at a distance. But the two of them were standing above the Jordan.
Bayekoli tuku mitano ya basakoli bakendeki kotelema mosika ya esika oyo Eliya mpe Elize batelemaki, na ebale Yordani.
8 And Elijah took his cloak, and he rolled it up, and he struck the waters, which were divided into two parts. And they both went across on dry ground.
Eliya alongolaki kazaka na ye, agumbaki yango mpe abetaki yango na mayi ya ebale. Mayi ekabwanaki na ngambo ya loboko ya mobali mpe na ngambo ya loboko ya mwasi, mpe bango mibale bakatisaki.
9 And when they had gone across, Elijah said to Elisha, “Ask what you wish that I may do for you, before I am taken from you.” And Elisha said, “I beg you, that twice your spirit may be accomplished in me.”
Tango bakatisaki, Eliya alobaki na Elize: — Yebisa ngai nasala nini mpo na yo liboso ete Yawe alongola ngai liboso na yo. Elize azongisaki: — Tika ete nazwa nguya ya molimo na yo mbala mibale.
10 And he responded: “You have requested a difficult thing. Nevertheless, if you see me when I am taken from you, you will have what you requested. But if you do not see, it shall not be.”
Eliya alobaki: — Osengi ngai eloko ya pasi, kasi soki okomona ngai wana Yawe akolongola ngai liboso na yo, okozwa yango; soki te, okozwa yango te.
11 And as they continued on, they were conversing while walking. And behold, a fiery chariot with fiery horses divided the two. And Elijah ascended by a whirlwind into heaven.
Wana bazalaki kotambola mpe kosolola, mbala moko shar ya moto mpe bampunda ya moto ekabolaki bango mibale; mpe Eliya amataki na likolo na nzela ya mopepe makasi.
12 Then Elisha saw it, and he cried out: “My father, my father! The chariot of Israel with its driver!” And he saw him no more. And he took hold of his own garments, and he tore them into two parts.
Tango Elize amonaki bongo, agangaki: « Tata na ngai! Tata na ngai! Yo nde ozali lokola shar ya Isalaele mpe batambolisi na yango! » Bongo Elize amonaki ye lisusu te. Boye akangaki bilamba na ye mpe apasolaki yango na biteni mibale.
13 And he picked up the cloak of Elijah, which had fallen from him. And turning back, he stood above the bank of the Jordan.
Alokotaki kazaka ya Eliya, oyo ekweyaki wuta na mapeka na ye, azongaki mpe atelemaki na ngambo ya ebale Yordani.
14 And he struck the waters with the cloak of Elijah, which had fallen from him, and they were not divided. And he said, “Where is the God of Elijah, even now?” And he struck the waters, and they were divided here and there. And Elisha went across.
Azwaki kazaka ya Eliya, abetaki yango na mayi mpe alobaki: « Wapi sik’oyo Yawe, Nzambe ya Eliya? » Tango Elize abetaki kazaka yango na mayi, mayi ya ebale ekabwanaki na ngambo ya loboko ya mobali mpe na ngambo ya loboko ya mwasi.
15 Then the sons of the prophets, who were at Jericho, watching from a distance, said, “The spirit of Elijah has rested upon Elisha.” And approaching to meet him, they reverenced him prone on the ground.
Bayekoli ya basakoli, oyo bawutaki na Jeriko bamonaki mpe balobaki: « Molimo ya Eliya evandi sik’oyo likolo ya Elize! » Bakendeki kokutana na ye mpe bagumbamaki liboso na ye kino na mabele.
16 And they said to him, “Behold, with your servants there are fifty strong men, who are able to go forth and to seek your lord. For perhaps, the Spirit of the Lord has taken him up and cast him upon some mountain, or into some valley.” But he said, “Do not send them.”
Balobaki: — Tala biso basali na yo, tozali na mibali ya mpiko tuku mitano. Tika ete baluka mokonzi na yo, tango mosusu Molimo na Yawe amemi ye mpe abwaki ye na ngomba to na lubwaku. Elize azongisaki: — Te, botinda bango te!
17 And they urged him, until he acquiesced and said, “Send them.” And they sent fifty men. And after they had searched for three days, they did not find him.
Kasi batungisaki Elize makasi kino ayokaki soni mpo na koboya. Boye alobaki: — Botinda bango. Mpe batindaki mibali tuku mitano oyo balukaki Eliya mikolo misato, kasi batikalaki komona ye te.
18 And they returned to him, for he was living in Jericho. And he said to them: “Did I not say to you, ‘Do not send them?’”
Tango bazongaki epai ya Elize oyo atikalaki na Jeriko, Elize alobaki na bango: — Napekisaki bino te kokende?
19 Also, the men of the city said to Elisha: “Behold, this city is a very good habitation, as you yourself perceive, O lord. But the waters are very bad, and the ground is barren.”
Bato ya engumba ya Jeriko bayebisaki Elize: — Oh nkolo! Engumba na biso etongami na esika ya malamu ndenge ozali komona yango, kasi mayi ezali mabe mpe mabele ebotaka te.
20 And so he said, “Bring a new vessel to me, and place salt in it.” And when they had brought it,
Elize alobaki: — Bomemela ngai sani ya moke ya sika mpe botia mungwa na kati. Bamemelaki ye yango
21 he went out to the source of the waters, and he cast the salt into it. And he said: “Thus says the Lord: I have healed these waters, and no longer shall there be death or barrenness in them.”
mpe akendeki na etima, abwakaki kuna mungwa mpe alobaki: « Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: ‹ Napetoli mayi oyo; ekoyeisa lisusu kufa te mpe ekobebisa lisusu mabele te mpo ete ebota mbuma. › »
22 Then the waters were healed, even to this day, in accord with the word of Elisha, which he spoke.
Boye mayi etikala peto kino na mokolo ya lelo, kolanda liloba oyo Elize abimisaki.
23 Then he went up from there into Bethel. And as he was ascending along the way, little boys departed from the city. And they were mocking him, saying: “Go up, bald head! Go up, bald head!”
Longwa kuna na Jeriko, Elize akendeki na Beteli. Wana azalaki kotambola na nzela, bilenge mibali babimaki wuta na engumba mpe bazalaki kotiola ye; bazalaki koloba: « Moto na libandi, longwa awa! Moto na libandi, longwa awa! »
24 And when he had looked back, he saw them, and he cursed them in the name of the Lord. And two bears went out from the forest, and they wounded forty-two boys among them.
Abalukaki, atalaki bango mpe alakelaki bango mabe na Kombo na Yawe. Boye, bangombolo mibale ebimaki na zamba mpe epasolaki bana tuku minei na mibale kati na bango.
25 Then he went away from there to mount Carmel. And he returned from there into Samaria.
Longwa wana Elize akendeki na ngomba Karimeli; mpe longwa kuna, azongaki na Samari.
