< 2 Kings 1 >

1 And Moab rebelled against Israel, after the death of Achab.
Sima na kufa ya mokonzi Akabi, bato ya Moabi batombokelaki Isalaele.
2 And Ochozias fell through the lattices of his upper chamber which he had in Samaria, and was sick: and he sent messengers, saying to them: Go, consult Beelzebub, the god of Accaron, whether I shall recover of this my illness.
Mokonzi Akazia akweyaki na Samari wuta na lininisa ya shambre na ye ya likolo mpe azokaki pota moko ya makasi. Atindaki bantoma na ye mpe alobaki na bango: — Bokende kotuna epai ya Bala-Zebubi, nzambe ya Ekroni, mpo na koyeba soki nakobika solo na likama oyo.
3 And an angel of the Lord spoke to Elias the Thesbite, saying: Arise, and go up to meet the messengers of the king of Samaria, and say to them: Is there not a God in Israel, that ye go to consult Beelzebub the god of Accaron?
Kasi anjelu ya Yawe alobaki na Eliya, moto ya mboka Tishibe: — Kende kokutana na bantoma ya mokonzi ya Samari mpe tuna bango: « Boni, Nzambe azali te kati na Isalaele mpo ete bokende kotuna epai ya Bala-Zebubi, nzambe ya Ekroni?
4 Wherefore thus saith the Lord: From the bed, on which thou art gone up, thou shalt not come down, but thou shalt surely die. And Elias went away.
Mpo na yango, tala makambo oyo Yawe alobi: ‹ Okokita te na mbeto oyo olali, pamba te, solo, okokufa. › » Boye Eliya akendeki.
5 And the messengers turned back to Ochozias. And he said to them: Why are you come back?
Tango bantoma bazongaki epai ya mokonzi, atunaki bango: — Mpo na nini bozongi?
6 But they answered him: A man met us, and said to us: Go, and return to the king, that sent you, and you shall say to him: Thus saith the Lord: Is it because there was no God in Israel that thou sendest to Beelzebub the god of Accaron? Therefore thou shalt not come down from the bed, on which thou art gone up, but then shalt surely die.
Bazongisaki: — Moto moko ayaki kokutana na biso mpe alobaki na biso: « Bozonga epai ya mokonzi oyo atindi bino mpe boloba na ye: Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: ‹ Boni, Nzambe azali lisusu te kati na Isalaele; yango wana ozali kotinda bato kokende kotuna epai ya Bala-Zebubi, nzambe ya Ekroni? › Mpo na yango, okokita te na mbeto oyo olali; okokufa solo. »
7 And he said to them: What manner of man was he who met you, and spoke these words?
Mokonzi atunaki bango: — Moto oyo ayaki kokutana na bino mpe ayebisaki bino makambo oyo azalaki ndenge nini?
8 But they said: A hairy man with a girdle of leather about his loins. And he said: It is Elias the Thesbite.
Bazongisaki: — Azalaki mobali moko alata bilamba ya poso ya nyama na loketo na ye. Mokonzi alobaki: — Ezalaki kaka Eliya, moto ya Tishibe.
9 And he sent to him a captain of fifty, and the fifty men that were under him. And he went up to him, and as he was sitting on the top of a hill, said to him: Man of God, the king hath commanded that thou come down.
Mbala moko, mokonzi atindaki mokonzi ya basoda tuku mitano epai ya Eliya elongo na basoda na ye tuku mitano. Mokonzi ya basoda tuku mitano akendeki epai ya Eliya oyo azalaki kovanda na songe ya ngomba mpe alobaki na ye: — Moto na Nzambe, mokonzi apesi mitindo ete okende epai na ye.
10 And Elias answering, said to the captain of fifty: If I be a man of God, let fire come down from heaven, and consume thee, and thy fifty. And there came down fire from heaven, and consumed him, and the fifty that were with him.
Kasi Eliya azongiselaki mokonzi yango ya basoda: — Soki solo nazali moto na Nzambe, tika ete moto ekita wuta na likolo mpe ezikisa yo mpe bato na yo tuku mitano. Bongo moto ekitaki wuta na likolo mpe ezikisaki mokonzi yango ya basoda elongo na basoda na ye tuku mitano.
11 And again he sent to him another captain of fifty men, and his fifty with him. And he said to him: Man of God, thus saith the king: Make haste and come down.
Mokonzi atindaki lisusu epai ya Eliya mokonzi mosusu ya basoda tuku mitano elongo na basoda na ye tuku mitano. Mokonzi ya basoda alobaki na Eliya: — Moto na Nzambe, mokonzi apesi mitindo ete okende noki epai na ye.
12 Elias answering, said: If I be a man of God, let fire come down from heaven, and consume thee and thy fifty. And fire came down from heaven, and consumed him and his fifty.
Kasi Eliya azongiselaki mokonzi ya basoda: — Soki solo nazali moto na Nzambe, tika ete moto ekita wuta na likolo mpe ezikisa yo elongo na bato na yo tuku mitano. Mbala moko moto ekitaki wuta na likolo mpe ezikisaki mokonzi ya basoda tuku mitano elongo na basoda na ye.
13 Again he sent a third captain of fifty men, and the fifty that were with him. And when he was come, he fell upon his knees, before Elias, and besought him and said: Man of God, despise not my life, and the lives of thy servants that are with me.
Mokonzi Akazia atindaki lisusu na mbala ya misato mokonzi mosusu ya basoda tuku mitano elongo na basoda tuku mitano. Mokonzi yango akendeki kofukama liboso ya Eliya mpe abondelaki ye: — Moto na Nzambe, tika ete bomoi na ngai mpe bomoi ya basali na yo, bato tuku mitano oyo, ezala na motuya na miso na yo!
14 Behold fire came down from heaven, and consumed the two first captains of fifty men, and the fifties that were with them: but now I beseech thee to spare my life.
Nayebi ete moto ekitaki wuta na likolo mpe ezikisaki bakonzi nyonso mibale ya basoda elongo na basoda na bango oyo bayaki liboso; kasi sik’oyo, tika ete bomoi na ngai mpe bomoi ya bato na ngai tuku mitano ezala na motuya na miso na yo!
15 And the angel of the Lord spoke to Elias, saying: Go down with him, fear not. He arose therefore, and went down with him to the king,
Anjelu ya Yawe alobaki na Eliya: — Kende na ye nzela moko; kobanga ye te. Bongo Eliya atelemaki mpe akendeki na ye nzela moko kino epai ya mokonzi.
16 And said to him: Thus saith the Lord: Because thou hast sent messengers to consult Beelzebub the god of Accaron, as though there were not a God in Israel, of whom thou mightest inquire the word; therefore from the bed on which thou art gone up, thou shalt not come down, but thou shalt surely die.
Alobaki na mokonzi: Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: « Boni, Nzambe azali lisusu te na Isalaele mpo ete otinda bato kotuna epai ya Bala-Zebubi, nzambe ya Ekroni? Lokola osali bongo, okokita lisusu te na mbeto oyo olali, okokufa solo. »
17 So he died according to the word of the Lord which Elias spoke, and Joram his brother reigned in his stead, in the second year of Joram the son of Josaphat king of Juda: because he had no son.
Mokonzi Akazia akufaki kolanda liloba oyo Yawe alobaki na nzela ya Eliya. Lokola mokonzi Akazia azalaki na mwana te, ndeko na ye ya mobali Yorami akitanaki na ye na bokonzi na tango Yorami, mwana mobali ya Jozafati, mokonzi ya Yuda, akokisaki mibu mibale na bokonzi.
18 But the rest of the acts of Ochozias which he did, are they not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Israel?
Makambo mosusu oyo etali bokonzi ya Akazia mpe misala oyo asalaki ekomama kati na buku ya masolo ya bakonzi ya Isalaele.
