1 Kings 20
1 And Ben-Hadad king of Syria assembled all his host; and there were thirty-two kings with him, and horses and chariots; and he went up and besieged Samaria, and fought against it.
Beni-Adadi, mokonzi ya Siri, asangisaki mampinga na ye nyonso elongo na bakonzi tuku misato na mibale na bampunda mpe bashar; akendeki kozingela Samari mpe abundisaki yango.
2 And he sent messengers to Ahab king of Israel into the city, and said to him, Thus says Ben-Hadad:
Atindaki bantoma kati na engumba epai ya Akabi, mokonzi ya Isalaele
3 Thy silver and thy gold is mine; thy wives also and thy children, the goodliest, are mine.
na maloba oyo: — Tala maloba oyo Beni-Adadi alobi: « Palata mpe wolo na yo ezali ya ngai; basi na yo mpe bana mibali na yo, oyo baleki kitoko bazali ya ngai. »
4 And the king of Israel answered and said, My lord, O king, according to thy saying, I am thine, and all that I have.
Mokonzi ya Isalaele azongisaki: — Ezali ndenge kaka olobi, mokonzi, nkolo na ngai; ngai mpe nyonso oyo nazali na yango ezali ya yo.
5 And the messengers came again, and said, Thus speaks Ben-Hadad saying: I sent to thee indeed, saying, Thou shalt deliver me thy silver, and thy gold, and thy wives, and thy children;
Bantoma bazongaki lisusu mpe balobaki: — Tala maloba oyo Beni-Adadi alobi: « Napesaki yo mitindo ete opesa ngai palata na yo, wolo na yo, basi na yo mpe bana na yo ya mibali.
6 but to-morrow about this time I will send my servants to thee, and they shall search thy house, and the houses of thy servants; and it shall be, that whatsoever is pleasant in thy sight, they shall put in their hand and take away.
Kasi yeba malamu ete lobi, na ngonga oyo, nakotinda basali na ngai mpo na kotala malamu-malamu ndako na yo mpe bandako ya basali na yo. Bakozwa nyonso ya motuya na miso na yo mpe bakomema yango. »
7 And the king of Israel called all the elders of the land and said, Mark, I pray you, and see how this [man] seeks mischief; for he sent to me for my wives, and for my children, and for my silver, and for my gold; and I denied him not.
Mokonzi ya Isalaele abengisaki bampaka nyonso ya mboka mpe alobaki na bango: — Botala ndenge nini moto oyo azali koluka makambo! Tango asengaki ngai basi na ngai mpe bana na ngai ya mibali, wolo mpe palata na ngai, napimelaki ye yango te.
8 And all the elders and all the people said to him, Hearken not, nor consent.
Bampaka mpe bato nyonso balobaki na ye: — Koyokela ye te mpe kondima bisengeli na ye te.
9 And he said to the messengers of Ben-Hadad, Tell my lord the king, All that thou didst send for to thy servant at the first I will do; but this thing I cannot do. And the messengers departed, and brought him word again.
Boye Akabi azongisaki epai ya bantoma ya Beni-Adadi: — Boloba na mokonzi, nkolo na ngai: « Mosali na yo akosala nyonso oyo osengaki liboso; kasi na oyo ya mibale, nakosala yango te. » Bazongaki mpe bamemaki eyano epai ya Beni-Adadi.
10 And Ben-Hadad sent to him and said, The gods do so to me, and more also, if the dust of Samaria shall suffice for handfuls for all the people that follow me!
Beni-Adadi atindaki maloba mosusu epai ya Akabi: — Tika ete banzambe bapesa ngai etumbu ya makasi koleka soki etikali na Samari putulu oyo ekoki kotondisa ata loboko ya moko na moko ya bato oyo bazali kolanda ngai.
11 And the king of Israel answered and said, Tell [him], Let not him that girdeth on boast himself as he that putteth off!
Mokonzi ya Isalaele azongisaki: — Boloba na ye: « Moto oyo alati bibundeli asengeli komikumisa te lokola moto oyo alongoli bibundeli! »
12 And it came to pass when he heard this word, as he was drinking, he and the kings in the tents, that he said to his servants, Set yourselves. And they set themselves against the city.
Beni-Adadi ayokaki sango yango tango ye elongo na bakonzi bazalaki komela na bandako ya kapo. Apesaki mitindo epai ya bato na ye: — Bomibongisa mpo na etumba. Boye, bamibongisaki mpo na kobundisa engumba.
13 And behold, a prophet drew near to Ahab king of Israel, and said, Thus saith Jehovah: Hast thou seen all this great multitude? behold, I will deliver it into thy hand this day; and thou shalt know that I am Jehovah.
Na tango wana kaka, mosakoli moko ayaki epai ya Akabi, mokonzi ya Isalaele, mpe alobaki na ye: — Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: « Ozali komona mampinga monene oyo? Nakopesa yango lelo na maboko na yo, bongo okoyeba ete nazali Yawe. »
14 And Ahab said, By whom? And he said, Thus saith Jehovah: By the servants of the princes of the provinces. Then he said, Who shall begin the battle? And he said, Thou.
Akabi atunaki: — Kasi nani akosala yango? Mosakoli azongisaki: — Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: « Bakonzi ya basoda ya bilenge, bakonzi ya basoda ya bamboka mike nde bakosala yango. » Akabi atunaki: — Nani akobanda etumba? Mosakoli azongisaki: — Ezali yo nde moto okobanda.
15 And he numbered the servants of the princes of the provinces, and they were two hundred and thirty-two; and after them he numbered all the people, all the children of Israel, seven thousand.
Akabi abengisaki bakonzi ya basoda ya bilenge, bakonzi ya basoda ya bamboka mike; bango nyonso bazalaki bato nkama mibale na tuku misato na mibale. Asangisaki lisusu bato ya Isalaele oyo batikalaki: bazalaki bango nyonso bato nkoto sambo.
16 And they went out at noon; and Ben-Hadad drank himself drunk in the tents, he and the kings, the thirty-two kings that helped him.
Babimaki na midi na tango Beni-Adadi elongo na bakonzi tuku misato na mibale, oyo bazalaki na ngambo na ye, bazalaki kolangwa masanga na bandako na bango ya kapo.
17 And the servants of the princes of the provinces went out first; and Ben-Hadad sent out, and they told him saying, There are men come out of Samaria.
Bakonzi ya basoda ya bilenge babimaki bato ya liboso. Nzokande Beni-Adadi azwaki sango epai ya banongi na ye oyo balobaki na ye: — Bato bazali kopusana wuta na engumba Samari.
18 And he said, Whether they be come out for peace, take them alive; or whether they be come out for war, take them alive.
Beni-Adadi alobaki: — Soki bayei mpo na kimia, bakanga bango ya bomoi; kasi soki mpe bayei mpo na bitumba, kokanga bango ya bomoi.
19 And these servants of the princes of the provinces came out of the city, and the army that followed them.
Bakonzi ya basoda ya bilenge babimaki na engumba elongo na mampinga sima na bango.
20 And they slew every one his man; and the Syrians fled, and Israel pursued them; and Ben-Hadad the king of Syria escaped on a horse with the horsemen.
Soda moko na moko abomaki monguna na ye. Boye bato ya Siri bakimaki, mpe bato ya Isalaele balandaki bango. Kasi Beni-Adadi, mokonzi ya Siri, akimaki na mpunda elongo na ndambo ya basoda na ye, oyo batambolaka na bashar.
21 And the king of Israel went out, and smote the horses and chariots, and slew the Syrians with a great slaughter.
Mokonzi ya Isalaele apusanaki, abebisaki bampunda elongo na bashar mpe alongaki bato ya Siri na elonga monene.
22 And the prophet drew near to the king of Israel, and said to him, Go, strengthen thyself, and understand, and see what thou shalt do; for at the return of the year the king of Syria will come up against thee.
Sima na yango, mosakoli ayaki epai ya mokonzi ya Isalaele mpe alobaki: — Lendisa basoda na yo mpe tala nini okoki kosala, pamba te na mobu oyo ekoya, mokonzi ya Siri akoya kobundisa yo lisusu.
23 And the servants of the king of Syria said to him, Their gods are gods of the mountains; therefore they were stronger than we; but if we fight against them on the plateau, shall we not be stronger than they?
Na tango wana bakalaka ya mokonzi ya Siri bapesaki ye toli: « Banzambe na bango bazali banzambe ya bangomba. Yango wana balekaki biso na makasi, kasi soki tobundi na bango na bitando, tokoleka bango solo na makasi.
24 And do this: take the kings away, every man out of his place, and put governors in their stead;
Sala boye: longola bakonzi nyonso na bisika na bango mpe tia bakonzi mosusu ya basoda na bisika ya bato oyo ya liboso.
25 and number thee an army, like the army that thou hast lost, horse for horse, and chariot for chariot; and we will fight against them on the plateau: shall we not be stronger than they? And he hearkened to their voice, and did so.
Osengeli mpe lisusu kobongisa mampinga lokola oyo owutaki kobungisa: mpunda mpo na mpunda, shar mpo na shar, mpo ete tokoka kobundisa Isalaele na etando. Solo, tokoleka bango na makasi. » Beni-Adadi ayokaki bango mpe asalaki bongo.
26 And it came to pass, at the return of the year, that Ben-Hadad numbered the Syrians, and went up to Aphek, to fight against Israel.
Na mobu oyo elandaki, Beni-Adadi asangisaki mampinga na ye ya Siri mpe amataki na Afeki mpo na kobundisa Isalaele.
27 And the children of Israel were numbered and victualled, and they went against them; and the children of Israel encamped before them like two little flocks of goats; but the Syrians filled the land.
Akabi mpe na ngambo na ye, asangisaki bato ya Isalaele mpe apesaki bango bibundeli; boye babimaki mpo na kobundisa bato ya Siri. Bato ya Isalaele batongaki milako oyo ezalaki kotalana na bato ya Siri. Mampinga na bango ezalaki lokola bitonga mibale ya mike ya bantaba wana bato ya Siri batondaki na etando mobimba.
28 And the man of God drew near, and spoke to the king of Israel and said, Thus saith Jehovah: Because the Syrians have said, Jehovah is a god of the mountains, but he is not a god of the valleys, I will give all this great multitude into thy hand, and ye shall know that I am Jehovah.
Moto na Nzambe ayaki mpe alobaki na mokonzi ya Isalaele: — Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: « Lokola bato ya Siri bakanisi ete Ngai nazali nzambe ya bangomba, kasi ya etando te, nakokaba mampinga monene oyo na maboko na yo mpe okoyeba ete Ngai nazali Yawe. »
29 And they encamped one over against the other seven days; and it came to pass that on the seventh day the battle was joined; and the children of Israel smote of the Syrians a hundred thousand footmen in one day.
Mikolo sambo, milako ya mampinga nyonso mibale ezalaki etalana. Na mokolo ya sambo, etumba ebandaki mpe bato ya Isalaele babomaki basoda ya mpiko ya Siri nkoto nkama moko.
30 And the rest fled to Aphek, into the city; and the wall fell on twenty-seven thousand men of them that were left. And Ben-Hadad fled, and came into the city, [from] chamber to chamber.
Basoda ya mpiko ya Siri oyo batikalaki, bakimaki na Afeki epai wapi mir ekweyelaki bato nkoto tuku mibale na sambo. Beni-Adadi akimaki na engumba mpe abombamaki na shambre ya kati penza.
31 And his servants said to him, Behold now, we have heard that the kings of the house of Israel are merciful kings: let us, I pray thee, put sackcloth on our loins, and ropes upon our heads, and go out to the king of Israel; perhaps he will save thy life.
Bakalaka na ye balobaki na ye: — Tala, toyokaki ete bakonzi ya Isalaele bazalaka malamu. Pesa nzela ete tokende epai ya mokonzi ya Isalaele, tolata bilamba ya saki na loketo na biso mpe basinga na mito na biso; tango mosusu bakoki kobikisa bomoi na yo.
32 And they girded sackcloth on their loins, and ropes on their heads, and came to the king of Israel, and said, Thy servant Ben-Hadad says, I pray thee, let me live. And he said, Is he yet alive? he is my brother.
Boye balataki bango nyonso bilamba ya saki, bakangaki basinga na mito na bango mpe bakendeki epai ya mokonzi ya Isalaele. Balobaki na ye: — Mosali na yo Beni-Adadi abondeli yo ete oboma ye te. Akabi atunaki: — Boni, azali nanu na bomoi? Azali kaka ndeko na ngai.
33 And the men took it as a good omen, and hastened to catch what came from him, and they said, Thy brother Ben-Hadad. ...And he said, Go, bring him. And Ben-Hadad came forth to him; and he caused him to come up into the chariot.
Bantoma ya Beni-Adadi bazwaki eyano yango lokola elembo ya malamu, bakangamaki na maloba wana mpe bagangaki na esengo: — Beni-Adadi azali solo ndeko na yo. Akabi azongisaki: — Bokende kozwa ye. Beni-Adadi abimaki na esika oyo abombamaki mpe ayaki epai ya Akabi, bongo Akabi amatisaki ye na shar na ye.
34 And [Ben-Hadad] said to him, The cities that my father took from thy father I will restore; and thou shalt make streets for thyself in Damascus, as my father made in Samaria. And I [said Ahab] will send thee away with this covenant. So he made a covenant with him, and sent him away.
Beni-Adadi alobaki: — Bingumba nyonso oyo tata na ngai abotolaki tata na yo, nazongiseli yo yango; okotonga zando na yo na Damasi mpo na koteka biloko na yo ndenge kaka tata na ngai asalaki na Samari. Akabi azongisaki: — Nakotika yo kokende soki nasali boyokani elongo na yo. Akabi asalaki boyokani elongo na Beni-Adadi mpe atikaki ye kozonga epai na ye.
35 And a certain man of the sons of the prophets said to another by the word of Jehovah, Smite me, I pray thee. But the man refused to smite him.
Na tango wana, moko kati na bana ya basakoli alobaki na moninga na ye, na etinda ya Yawe: — Nasengi na yo ete obeta ngai. Kasi moninga na ye aboyaki kobeta ye.
36 Then said he to him, Because thou hast not hearkened to the voice of Jehovah, behold, when thou departest from me, the lion will slay thee. And when he had departed from him, the lion found him and slew him.
Bongo alobaki na ye: — Lokola oboyi kotosa Liloba na Yawe, tango kaka okotika ngai, nkosi ekoboma yo. Moninga na ye akendeki, akutanaki na nkosi, mpe ebomaki ye.
37 Then he found another man, and said, Smite me, I pray thee. And the man smote him violently, and wounded [him].
Mwana wana ya basakoli akendeki kokutana na moto mosusu mpe asengaki na ye ete abeta ye. Moto wana abetaki ye makasi mpe azokisaki ye.
38 And the prophet departed, and waited for the king by the way, and disguised himself with a sash over his eyes.
Mwana ya basakoli amibongolaki na elateli na ye, azipaki elongi na ye na nzela ya eteni ya elamba mpo ete bayeba ye te, mpe akendeki kotelema na nzela oyo mokonzi Akabi akolekela.
39 And as the king passed by, he cried to the king and said, Thy servant went out into the midst of the battle; and behold, a man turned aside, and brought a man to me and said, Keep this man; if by any means he be missing, then shall thy life be for his life, or thou shalt pay a talent of silver.
Tango mokonzi azalaki koleka, mosakoli agangaki: — Mokonzi, wana nazalaki kati na bitumba, moto moko abimaki kati na mampinga mpe amemelaki ngai mokangami ya bitumba. Alobaki na ngai: « Batela moto oyo ete akima te! Soki akimi, okokufa na esika na ye to okofuta ngai palata nkoto misato. »
40 And as thy servant was busy here and there, he was gone. And the king of Israel said to him, So [is] thy judgment: thyself hast decided [it].
Wana mosali na yo azalaki kosala awa, kuna, mokangami yango akimaki. Bongo Akabi, mokonzi ya Isalaele, alobaki: — Etumbu na yo ekozala ndenge kaka olobi.
41 Then he hastily took the sash away from his face; and the king of Israel discerned him, that he was of the prophets.
Mbala moko, mosakoli alongolaki eteni ya elamba oyo ezipaki elongi na ye; mpe Akabi, mokonzi ya Isalaele, asosolaki ete moto yango azali moko kati na bana ya basakoli.
42 And he said to him, Thus saith Jehovah: Because thou hast let go out of thy hand the man that I had devoted to destruction, thy life shall be for his life, and thy people for his people.
Mosakoli alobaki na mokonzi: — Tala maloba oyo Yawe alobi: « Lokola obikisi moto oyo Ngai nakatelaki etumbu ya kufa, yo nde moto okokufa na esika na ye; mpe bato na yo bakokufa na esika ya bato na ye. »
43 And the king of Israel went to his house sullen and vexed, and came to Samaria.
Mokonzi ya Isalaele azongaki epai na ye, na Samari, na mawa mpe na kanda.
