2 Kings 18
1 Now in the third yeere of Hoshea, sonne of Elah King of Israel, Hezekiah the sonne of Ahaz king of Iudah began to reigne.
Tango Oze, mwana mobali ya Ela, mokonzi ya Isalaele, akokisaki mibu misato na bokonzi, Ezekiasi, mwana mobali ya Akazi, mokonzi ya Yuda, akomaki mokonzi.
2 He was fiue and twentie yeere olde when he began to reigne, and reigned nine and twenty yeere in Ierusalem. His mothers name also was Abi the daughter of Zachariah,
Ezekiasi azalaki na mibu tuku mibale na mitano ya mbotama tango akomaki mokonzi, mpe akonzaki mibu tuku mibale na libwa na Yelusalemi. Kombo ya mama na ye ezalaki « Abi. » Abi azalaki mwana mwasi ya Zakari.
3 And he did vprightly in the sight of the Lord, according to all that Dauid his father had done.
Ezekiasi asalaki makambo ya sembo na miso ya Yawe ndenge Davidi, koko na ye, asalaki.
4 He tooke away the hie places, and brake the images, and cut downe the groues, and brake in pieces the brasen serpent that Moses had made: for vnto those dayes the children of Israel did burne incense to it, and hee called it Nehushtan.
Alongolaki bisambelo ya likolo ya bangomba, abukaki makonzi ya bule ya banzambe ya bikeko, mpe akataki likonzi ya bule ya nzambe mwasi Ashera. Abukaki-bukaki nyoka ya ebende oyo Moyize asalaki, pamba te kino na tango wana, bana ya Isalaele bazalaki kotumba ansa mpo na nyoka yango mpe kobenga yango « Nekushitani. »
5 He trusted in the Lord God of Israel: so that after him was none like him among all the Kings of Iudah, neither were there any such before him.
Ezekiasi atiaki motema na ye epai na Yawe, Nzambe ya Isalaele. Mokonzi moko te akokanaki na ye kati na bakonzi nyonso ya Yuda, ezala liboso to sima na ye.
6 For he claue to the Lord, and departed not from him, but kept his commandements, which the Lord had commanded Moses.
Atikalaki ya kokangama na Yawe mpe atikaki te kolanda Ye; abatelaki mitindo oyo Yawe apesaki na nzela ya Moyize.
7 So the Lord was with him, and he prospered in all thinges, which he tooke in hande: also he rebelled against the King of Asshur, and serued him not.
Yawe azalaki elongo na ye mpe azalaki kolonga na makambo nyonso oyo azalaki kosala. Atombokelaki mokonzi ya Asiri mpe aboyaki kosalela ye.
8 He smote the Philistims vnto Azzah, and the coastes thereof, from the watch towre vnto the defensed citie.
Alongaki bato ya Filisitia mpe alandaki bango kino na Gaza, abebisaki engumba mpe etuka na yango, mpe abotolaki bingumba batonga makasi mpe bandako milayi ya bakengeli.
9 And in the fourth yere of King Hezekiah, (which was the seuenth yeere of Hoshea sonne of Elah King of Israel) Shalmaneser King of Asshur came vp against Samaria, and besieged it.
Tango Ezekiasi akokisaki mibu minei na bokonzi, oyo ezalaki mobu ya sambo ya bokonzi ya Oze, mwana mobali ya Ela, mokonzi ya Isalaele, Salimanasari, mokonzi ya Asiri, abundisaki Samari mpe azingelaki yango.
10 And after three yeeres they tooke it, euen in the sixt yeere of Hezekiah: that is, the ninth yeere of Hoshea King of Israel was Samaria taken.
Bato ya Asiri babotolaki Samari sima na mibu misato ya bitumba, na mobu ya motoba ya bokonzi ya Ezekiasi, oyo ezalaki mobu ya libwa ya bokonzi ya Oze, mokonzi ya Isalaele.
11 Then the King of Asshur did carry away Israel vnto Asshur, and put them in Halah and in Habor, by the riuer of Gozan, and in the cities of the Medes,
Mokonzi ya Asiri amemaki bato ya Isalaele na bowumbu na Asiri mpe atiaki bango na Ala, na ngambo ya ebale Abori, na etuka ya Gozani mpe na bingumba ya Medi.
12 Because they woulde not obey the voyce of the Lord their God, but transgressed his couenant: that is, all that Moses the seruant of the Lord had commanded, and would neyther obey nor doe them.
Makambo oyo esalemaki mpo ete bato ya Isalaele batosaki te Yawe, Nzambe na bango, mpe babukaki boyokani na Ye; elingi koloba ete batosaki te makambo nyonso oyo Moyize, mosali na Nzambe, atindaki bango.
13 Moreouer, in the fourteenth yeere of King Hezekiah, Saneherib King of Asshur came vp against all the strong cities of Iudah, and tooke them.
Tango mokonzi Ezekiasi akokisaki mibu zomi na minei na bokonzi, Senakeribe, mokonzi ya Asiri, abundisaki bingumba nyonso ya Yuda, oyo batonga makasi mpe abotolaki yango.
14 Then Hezekiah King of Iudah sent vnto the King of Asshur to Lachish, saying, I haue offended: depart from me, and what thou layest vpon me, I wil beare it. And the King of Asshur appoynted vnto Hezekiah King of Iudah three hudreth talents of siluer, and thirty talets of golde.
Ezekiasi, mokonzi ya Yuda, atindaki sango oyo epai ya mokonzi ya Asiri, na Lakishi: « Nasali mabe, bima na mboka na ngai; nakofuta yo nyonso oyo okosenga ngai. » Mokonzi ya Asiri akatelaki Ezekiasi, mokonzi ya Yuda, mpako ya motuya ya bakilo nkoto zomi ya palata mpe bakilo nkoto moko ya wolo.
15 Therefore Hezekiah gaue all the siluer that was found in the house of the Lord, and in the treasures of the Kings house.
Ezekiasi apesaki ye palata nyonso oyo ezalaki kati na Tempelo ya Yawe mpe kati na bibombelo ya ndako ya mokonzi.
16 At the same season did Hezekiah pul off the plates of the doores of the Temple of the Lord, and the pillars (which the sayd Hezekiah King of Iudah had couered ouer) and gaue them to the King of Asshur.
Na tango wana, Ezekiasi, mokonzi ya Yuda, alongolaki wolo oyo asalelaki mpo na kolatisa bikuke mpe mabaya oyo esimbaka bikuke ya Tempelo ya Yawe, mpe apesaki yango epai ya mokonzi ya Asiri.
17 And the King of Asshur sent Tartan, and Rab-saris, and Rabshakeh from Lachish to King Hezekiah with a great hoste against Ierusalem. And they went vp, and came to Ierusalem, and when they were come vp, they stood by the conduite of the vpper poole, which is by the path of the fullers fielde,
Wuta na Lakishi, mokonzi ya Asiri atindaki epai ya mokonzi Ezekiasi, na Yelusalemi, mokonzi ya mampinga na ye, mokonzi ya bakalaka ya lokumu, mokonzi ya basoda oyo bakengelaka ye, mpe mampinga ya basoda ya nguya. Tango bakomaki na Yelusalemi mpe batelemaki pene ya nzela oyo ememaka mayi na liziba ya mayi ya monene, oyo ezali na nzela ya elanga ya moto oyo atiaka langi na bilamba,
18 And called to the King. Then came out to them Eliakim the sonne of Hilkiah, which was steward of the house, and Shebnah the chanceller, and Ioah the sonne of Asaph the recorder.
babelelaki mokonzi. Mpe Eliakimi, mwana mobali ya Ilikia, mobateli biloko ya ndako ya mokonzi; Shebina, mokomi mikanda; mpe Yoa, mwana mobali ya Azafi mpe mobombi mikanda, babimaki mpo na kokutana na bango.
19 And Rabshakeh sayde vnto them, Tell ye Hezekiah, I pray you, Thus saith the great King, euen the great King of Asshur, What confidence is this wherein thou trustest?
Mokonzi ya basoda oyo bakengelaka mokonzi ya Asiri alobaki na bango: « Boloba na Ezekiasi: ‹ Tala makambo oyo mokonzi monene, mokonzi ya Asiri, alobi: ‘Otie elikya na yo na nini?
20 Thou thinkest, Surely I haue eloquence, but counsell and strength are for the warre. On whom then doest thou trust, that thou rebellest against me?
Okanisi ete maloba ya pamba ekoki kozwa esika ya mayele mpe makasi ya bitumba? Otie penza elikya na nani mpo ete otombokela ngai?
21 Lo, thou trustest now in this broken staffe of reede, to wit, on Egypt, on which if a man leane, it will goe into his hand, and pearce it: so is Pharaoh king of Egypt vnto all that trust on him.
Tala, ozali nde kotia elikya na Ejipito oyo ezali lokola mwa nzete ya bambu oyo ebukana, oyo etobolaka mpe ezokisaka loboko ya moto oyo ayekamelaka yango! Faraon, mokonzi ya Ejipito, azalaka nde bongo mpo na bato nyonso oyo batielaka ye motema!’
22 But if ye say vnto me, We trust in the Lord our God, is not that he whose hie places, and whose altars Hezekiah hath taken away, and hath sayd to Iudah and Ierusalem, Ye shall worship before this altar in Ierusalem?
Tango mosusu bokoloba na ngai: ‘Totiaka elikya na biso kati na Yawe, Nzambe na biso.’ Boni! Ezali ye te oyo Ezekiasi alongolaki bisambelo na ye ya likolo ya bangomba mpe bitumbelo na ye tango alobaki na Yuda mpe na Yelusalemi: ‘Kati na Yelusalemi, bosengeli kogumbama liboso ya etumbelo oyo?’
23 Now therefore giue hostages to my lord the King of Asshur, and I will giue thee two thousand horses, if thou be able to set riders vpon them.
Sik’oyo, nabondeli yo, beta mondenge na nkolo na ngai, mokonzi ya Asiri: ‘Nakopesa yo bampunda nkoto mibale soki okoki kopesa basoda mpo ete batambolisa yango!
24 For how canst thou despise any captaine of the least of my masters seruants, and put thy trust on Egypt for charets and horsemen?
Okokoka ndenge nini kokimisa ata mokonzi moko kaka, kati na bakonzi ya basoda ya nkolo na ngai, yo oyo otiaka elikya na yo kati na Ejipito mpo na bashar mpe bato oyo batambolisaka yango?
25 Am I now come vp without the Lord to this place, to destroy it? the Lord sayd to me, Goe vp against this land, and destroy it.
Boni, okanisi ete ngai nayei kobundisa mpe kobebisa esika oyo na ndingisa ya Yawe te? Ezali Ye moko Yawe nde alobaki na ngai ete nabundisa mokili oyo mpe nabebisa yango.’ › »
26 Then Eliakim the sonne of Hilkiah, and Shebnah, and Ioah said vnto Rabshakeh, Speake I pray thee, to thy seruants in the Aramites language, for we vnderstand it, and talke not with vs in the Iewes tongue, in the audience of the people that are on the wall.
Eliakimi, mwana mobali ya Ilikia, Shebina mpe Yoa balobaki na mokonzi ya basoda oyo bakengelaka mokonzi: — Tobondeli yo, loba na basali na yo na lokota ya Arami, pamba te tososolaka yango; koloba na biso na lokota ya Ebre te, noki te bato oyo bazali na likolo ya mir bakoyoka.
27 But Rabshakeh saide vnto them, Hath my master sent me to thy master and to thee to speake these words, and not to the men which sit on the wall, that they may eate their owne doung, and drinke their owne pisse with you?
Mokonzi ya basoda oyo bakengelaka mokonzi azongisaki: — Bokanisi ete nkolo na ngai atindi ngai koloba maloba oyo kaka epai na mokonzi na bino mpe epai na bino? Te! Maloba yango ezali mpe mpo na bato oyo batelemi na likolo ya mir, oyo bakolia nyei na bango mpe komela masuba na bango elongo na bino?
28 So Rabshakeh stoode and cryed with a loude voyce in the Iewes language, and spake, saying, Heare the wordes of the great King, of the king of Asshur.
Boye mokonzi ya basoda oyo bakengelaka mokonzi atelemaki mpe agangaki makasi na lokota ya Ebre: — Boyoka maloba ya mokonzi monene, mokonzi ya Asiri!
29 Thus sayth the King, Let not Hezekiah deceiue you: for he shall not be able to deliuer you out of mine hand.
Tala makambo oyo mokonzi alobi: « Tika ete Ezekiasi akosa bino te, pamba te akokoka te kokangola bino na loboko na ngai!
30 Neither let Hezekiah make you to trust in the Lord, saying, The Lord will surely deliuer vs, and this citie shall not be giuen ouer into the hand of the king of Asshur.
Bondima te ete Ezekiasi atinda bino kotia elikya na Yawe tango azali koloba: ‹ Solo, Yawe akokangola biso. Engumba oyo ekokweya te na maboko ya mokonzi ya Asiri. ›
31 Hearken not vnto Hezekiah: for thus saith the king of Asshur, Make appointment with me, and come out to me, that euery man may eate of his owne vine, and euery man of his owne figge tree, and drinke euery man of the water of his owne well,
Boyokela Ezekiasi te, pamba te tala makambo oyo mokonzi ya Asiri alobi: Bosala boyokani ya kimia elongo na ngai mpe boya epai na ngai; bongo moko na moko kati na bino akolia mbuma ya elanga na ye ya vino, ya nzete na ye ya figi, mpe akomela mayi ya libulu na ye
32 Till I come, and bring you to a land like your owne land, euen a land of wheate and wine, a land of bread and vineyardes, a lande of oliues oyle, and hony, that ye may liue and not die: and obey not Hezekiah, for he deceiueth you, saying, The Lord will deliuer vs.
liboso ete naya kozwa bino mpo na komema bino na mokili oyo ekokana na oyo ya bino, mokili oyo etonda na ble mpe na vino ya sika, mokili ya mapa mpe ya bilanga ya vino, mokili ya banzete ya olive mpe ya mafuta ya nzoyi. Boye, bokozala na bomoi, bokokufa te! Bondima Ezekiasi te, pamba te azali kokosa bino tango azali koloba: ‹ Yawe akokangola biso. ›
33 Hath any of the gods of the nations deliuered his lande out of the hand of the King of Asshur?
Boni, ezali na nzambe ya ekolo songolo, oyo alonga kokangola ekolo na ye na loboko ya mokonzi ya Asiri?
34 Where is the god of Hamah, and of Arpad? where is the god of Sepharuaim, Hena and Iuah? how haue they deliuered Samaria out of mine hand?
Wapi banzambe ya Amati mpe ya Aripadi? Wapi banzambe ya Sefarivayimi, ya Ena, ya Iva? Boni, balongaki kokangola Samari na loboko na ngai?
35 Who are they among all the gods of the nations, that haue deliuered their lande out of mine hand, that the Lord should deliuer Ierusalem out of mine hand?
Kati na banzambe nyonso ya bikolo oyo, nani azalaki na makoki ya kokangola mokili na ye na maboko na ngai? Bongo ndenge nini Yawe akoka solo kokangola Yelusalemi na maboko na ngai? »
36 But the people helde their peace, and answered not him a worde: for the Kings commandement was, saying, Answere ye him not.
Kasi bato batikalaki kimia mpe bazongiselaki ye ata liloba moko te, pamba te mokonzi apesaki mitindo: — Bopesa ye eyano te!
37 Then Eliakim, the sonne of Hilkiah which was steward of the house, and Shebnah the chanceller, and Ioah the sonne of Asaph the recorder came to Hezekiah with their clothes rent, and tolde him the wordes of Rabshakeh.
Boye Eliakimi, mwana mobali ya Ilikia mpe mobateli biloko ya ndako ya mokonzi; Shebina, mokomi mikanda; mpe Yoa, mwana mobali ya Azafi mpe mobombi mikanda, bayaki epai ya Ezekiasi na bilamba epasuka, mpe bayebisaki ye makambo oyo mokonzi ya basoda oyo bakengelaka mokonzi ya Asiri alobaki.
