2 Chronicles 18
1 NOW Jehoshaphat had riches and honour in abundance, and joined affinity with Ahab.
Mokonzi Jozafati akomaki na lokumu mingi mpe na bozwi ebele, asalaki boyokani elongo na Akabi na nzela ya libala.
2 And after certain years he went down to Ahab to Samaria. And Ahab killed sheep and oxen for him in abundance, and for the people that he had with him, and persuaded him to go up with him to Ramoth-gilead.
Sima na ndambo ya mibu, akendeki kotala Akabi kati na Samari. Akabi abomaki bameme mpe bangombe ebele mpo na koyamba ye mpe bato oyo bazalaki elongo na ye. Atindikaki ye na kokende na Ramoti ya Galadi.
3 And Ahab king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat king of Judah, Wilt thou go with me to Ramoth-gilead? And he answered him, I am as thou art, and my people as thy people; and we will be with thee in the war.
Akabi, mokonzi ya Isalaele, atunaki epai ya Jozafati, mokonzi ya Yuda: — Okoki solo kosepela kokende elongo na ngai mpo na kobundisa Ramoti ya Galadi? Jozafati azongisaki: — Ngai mpe yo, bato na ngai mpe bato na yo, tozali se moko; tokokende elongo na yo na bitumba.
4 And Jehoshaphat said unto the king of Israel, Inquire, I pray thee, at the word of the Lord to day.
Kasi Jozafati alobaki lisusu na mokonzi ya Isalaele: — Nabondeli yo, tuna nanu toli ya Yawe.
5 Therefore the king of Israel gathered together of prophets four hundred men, and said unto them, Shall we go to Ramoth-gilead to battle, or shall I forbear? And they said, Go up; for God will deliver it into the king’s hand.
Boye, mokonzi ya Isalaele asangisaki basakoli nkama minei mpe atunaki bango: — Boni, tokoki solo kokende kobundisa Ramoti ya Galadi to te? Bazongiselaki ye: — Kende, pamba te Nzambe akokaba yango na maboko ya mokonzi.
6 But Jehoshaphat said, Is there not here a prophet of the Lord besides, that we might inquire of him?
Kasi Jozafati atunaki lisusu: — Ezali lisusu na mosakoli moko te awa oyo, na nzela na ye, tokoki kotuna toli ya Yawe?
7 And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, There is yet one man, by whom we may inquire of the Lord: but I hate him; for he never prophesied good unto me, but always evil: the same is Micaiah the son of Imla. And Jehoshaphat said, Let not the king say so.
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 mpo ete atikala nanu kosakola te makambo ya malamu mpo na bomoi na ngai; asakolaka kaka makambo ya mabe. Ezali Mishe, mwana mobali ya Yimila. Jozafati alobaki: — Tika ete mokonzi aloba bongo te!
8 And the king of Israel called for one of his officers, and said, Fetch quickly Micaiah the son of Imla.
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.
9 And the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat king of Judah sat either of them on his throne, clothed in their robes, and they sat in a void place at the entering in of the gate of Samaria; and all the prophets prophesied before them.
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.
10 And Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah had made him horns of iron, and said, Thus saith the Lord, With these thou shalt push Syria until they be consumed.
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. »
11 And all the prophets prophesied so, saying, Go up to Ramoth-gilead, and prosper: for the Lord shall deliver it into the hand 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. »
12 And the messenger that went to call Micaiah spake to him, saying, Behold, the words of the prophets declare good to the king with one assent; let thy word therefore, I pray thee, be like one of theirs, and speak thou 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.
13 And Micaiah said, As the Lord liveth, even what my God saith, that will I speak.
Kasi Mishe azongisaki: — Na Kombo na Yawe, makambo oyo Nzambe na ngai akoloba na ngai, yango nde nakoloba.
14 And when he was come to the king, the king said unto him, Micaiah, shall we go to Ramoth-gilead to battle, or shall I forbear? And he said, Go ye up, and prosper, and they shall be delivered into your hand.
Tango akomaki epai ya mokonzi, mokonzi alobaki na ye: — Mishe, tokoki solo kokende kobundisa Ramoti ya Galadi to te? Azongisaki: — Bokende! Bokolonga! Bakokabama na maboko na bino!
15 And the king said to him, How many times shall I adjure thee that thou say nothing but the truth to me 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?
16 Then he said, I did see all Israel scattered upon the mountains, as sheep that have no shepherd: and the Lord said, These have no master; let them return therefore every man to his house in peace.
Mishe azongisaki: — Namoni bato nyonso ya Isalaele bapalangani na likolo ya 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! »
17 And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, Did I not tell thee that he would not prophesy good unto me, but evil?
Mokonzi ya Isalaele alobaki na Jozafati: — Nayebisaki yo te ete asakolaka makambo ya malamu te mpo na bomoi na ngai, alobaka kaka mpo na mabe!
18 Again he said, Therefore hear the word of the Lord; I saw the Lord sitting upon his throne, and all the host of heaven standing on his right hand and on his left.
Mishe alobaki: — Solo, boyoka 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.
19 And the Lord said, Who shall entice Ahab king of Israel, that he may go up and fall at Ramoth-gilead? And one spake saying after this manner, and another saying after that manner.
Yawe atuni: « Nani akokosa Akabi, mokonzi ya Isalaele, mpo ete akende kobundisa Ramoti ya Galadi mpe akufa kuna? » Bazongisaki, moko na moko na ndenge na ye.
20 Then there came out a spirit, and stood before the Lord, and said, I will entice him. And the Lord said unto him, Wherewith?
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? »
21 And he said, I will go out, and be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets. And the Lord said, Thou shalt entice him, and thou shalt also prevail: go out, and do even 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. »
22 Now therefore, behold, the Lord hath put a lying spirit in the mouth of these thy prophets, and the Lord hath spoken evil against thee.
Mpe sik’oyo, tala, Yawe atie molimo ya lokuta kati na minoko ya basakoli na yo oyo; Yawe azwi penza mokano ya koboma yo.
23 Then Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah came near, and smote Micaiah upon the cheek, and said, Which way went the Spirit of the Lord from me to speak unto thee?
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?
24 And Micaiah said, Behold, thou shalt see on that day when thou shalt go into an inner chamber to hide thyself.
Mishe azongisaki: — Okososola yango kaka na mokolo oyo okokima mpe okotambola na shambre moko na moko mpo na koluka kobombama.
25 Then the king of Israel said, Take ye Micaiah, and carry him back to Amon the governor of the city, and to Joash the king’s son;
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.
26 And say, Thus saith the king, Put this fellow in the prison, and feed him with bread of affliction and with water of affliction, 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. › »
27 And Micaiah said, If thou certainly return in peace, then hath not the Lord spoken by me. And he said, Hearken, all ye people.
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!
28 So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah went up to Ramoth-gilead.
Mokonzi ya Isalaele mpe Jozafati, mokonzi ya Yuda, bakendeki kobundisa Ramoti ya Galadi.
29 And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, I will disguise myself, and will go to the battle; but put thou on thy robes. So the king of Israel disguised himself; and they went to the battle.
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.
30 Now the king of Syria had commanded the captains of the chariots that were with him, saying, Fight ye not with small or great, save only with the king of Israel.
Nzokande, mokonzi ya Siri apesaki mitindo epai ya bakonzi na ye ya basoda oyo batambolisaka bashar: — Bobundisa moto moko te, azala moke to monene; kasi bobundisa kaka mokonzi ya Isalaele.
31 And it came to pass, when the captains of the chariots saw Jehoshaphat, that they said, It is the king of Israel. Therefore they compassed about him to fight: but Jehoshaphat cried out, and the Lord helped him; and God moved them to depart from him.
Tango bakonzi na ye ya basoda, oyo batambolisaka bashar, bamonaki Jozafati, bamilobelaki: « Ezali solo mokonzi ya Isalaele. » Bazingelaki ye mpo na kobundisa ye, kasi Jozafati agangaki makasi, mpe Yawe asungaki ye. Nzambe atindikaki basoda oyo batambolisaka bashar mosika na ye.
32 For it came to pass, that, when the captains of the chariots perceived that it was not the king of Israel, they turned back again from pursuing him.
Tango bakonzi ya basoda, oyo batambolisaka bashar basosolaki ete ezali mokonzi ya Isalaele te, batikaki kolanda ye.
33 And a certain man drew a bow at a venture, and smote the king of Israel between the joints of the harness: therefore he said to his chariot man, Turn thine hand, that thou mayest carry me out of the host; for I am wounded.
Kasi moto moko 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.
34 And the battle increased that day: howbeit the king of Israel stayed himself up in his chariot against the Syrians until the even: and about the time of the sun going down he died.
Na mokolo yango, lokola bitumba ezalaki makasi, mokonzi ya Isalaele atikalaki ya kotelema kati na shar na ye liboso ya bato ya Siri, kino na pokwa. Mpe kaka na pokwa yango, akufaki.
