< 2 Kings 19 >

1 AND it came to pass, when king Hezekiah heard it, that he rent his clothes, and covered himself with sackcloth, and went into the house of the Lord.
Tango mokonzi Ezekiasi ayokaki bongo, apasolaki bilamba na ye, alataki basaki mpe akotaki na Tempelo ya Yawe.
2 And he sent Eliakim, which was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and the elders of the priests, covered with sackcloth, to Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz.
Atindaki epai ya mosakoli Ezayi, mwana mobali ya Amotsi, Eliakimi, mobateli biloko ya ndako ya mokonzi; Shebina, mokomi mikanda, mpe Banganga-Nzambe ya mikolo; bango nyonso balata bilamba ya basaki.
3 And they said unto him, Thus saith Hezekiah, This day is a day of trouble, and of rebuke, and blasphemy: for the children are come to the birth, and there is not strength to bring forth.
Balobaki na ye: — Tala makambo oyo Ezekiasi alobi: « Mokolo ya lelo ezali mokolo ya pasi, mokolo ya etumbu mpe mokolo ya soni, pamba te tokomi lokola mwasi oyo azali na pasi ya kobota kasi azangi makasi ya kobimisa mwana.
4 It may be the Lord thy God will hear all the words of Rab-shakeh, whom the king of Assyria his master hath sent to reproach the living God; and will reprove the words which the Lord thy God hath heard: wherefore lift up thy prayer for the remnant that are left.
Tango mosusu Yawe, Nzambe na yo, akoyoka maloba nyonso ya mokonzi ya basoda oyo bakengelaka mokonzi, oyo nkolo na ye, mokonzi ya Asiri, atindaki mpo na kosambwisa Nzambe na bomoi; mpe tango mosusu akopesa ye etumbu mpo na maloba oyo Yawe, Nzambe na yo, ayokaki. Boye, sambela mpo na ndambo ya bato oyo bazali nanu na bomoi. »
5 So the servants of king Hezekiah came to Isaiah.
Tango bakalaka ya mokonzi Ezekiasi bakomaki epai ya Ezayi,
6 And Isaiah said unto them, Thus shall ye say to your master, Thus saith the Lord, Be not afraid of the words which thou hast heard, with which the servants of the king of Assyria have blasphemed me.
Ezayi alobaki na bango: — Boloba na nkolo na bino: « Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: ‹ Kobanga te mpo na makambo oyo oyoki, maloba oyo basali ya mokonzi ya Asiri bazali koloba mpo na kosambwisa Ngai.
7 Behold, I will send a blast upon him, and he shall hear a rumour, and shall return to his own land; and I will cause him to fall by the sword in his own land.
Tala, nakotia molimo moko kati na ye mpo ete, tango akoyoka sango ya makambo oyo ezali koleka na mboka na ye, azonga na mokili na ye; mpe ekozala kuna, na mokili na ye, nde nakobomisa ye na mopanga. › »
8 So Rab-shakeh returned, and found the king of Assyria warring against Libnah: for he had heard that he was departed from Lachish.
Tango mokonzi ya basoda oyo bakengelaka mokonzi ya Asiri ayokaki ete mokonzi na ye alongwe na engumba Lakishi, azongaki mpe akutaki mokonzi na ye azali kobundisa engumba Libina.
9 And when he heard say of Tirhakah king of Ethiopia, Behold, he is come out to fight against thee: he sent messengers again unto Hezekiah, saying,
Sima na Senakeribe koyoka sango na tina na Tiraka, mokonzi ya Kushi, ete azali koya kobundisa ye, atindaki bantoma epai ya Ezekiasi na maloba oyo:
10 Thus shall ye speak to Hezekiah king of Judah, saying, Let not thy God in whom thou trustest deceive thee, saying, Jerusalem shall not be delivered into the hand of the king of Assyria.
« Boloba na Ezekiasi, mokonzi ya Yuda: Kotika te ete Nzambe na yo, oyo otielaka motema akosa yo na maloba oyo: ‹ Yelusalemi ekokweya te na maboko ya mokonzi ya Asiri! ›
11 Behold, thou hast heard what the kings of Assyria have done to all lands, by destroying them utterly: and shalt thou be delivered?
Oyokaki makambo oyo bakonzi ya Asiri basalaki bikolo nyonso mpe ndenge nini babebisaki yango nye; okanisi ete yo nde okobika?
12 Have the gods of the nations delivered them which my fathers have destroyed; as Gozan, and Haran, and Rezeph, and the children of Eden which were in Thelasar?
Tango batata na ngai babebisaki Gozani, Arani, Retsefi mpe bato ya Edeni oyo bazalaki kovanda kati na Telasari, boni, banzambe ya bikolo yango bakangolaki yango?
13 Where is the king of Hamath, and the king of Arpad, and the king of the city of Sepharvaim, of Hena, and Ivah?
Wapi mokonzi ya Amati, ya Aripadi, ya Layiri, ya engumba Sefarivayimi, ya Ena mpe ya Iva? »
14 And Hezekiah received the letter of the hand of the messengers, and read it: and Hezekiah went up into the house of the Lord, and spread it before the Lord.
Sima na Ezekiasi kozwa mokanda kowuta na maboko ya bantoma, atangaki yango, akendeki na Tempelo ya Yawe mpe afungolaki mokanda yango liboso ya Yawe.
15 And Hezekiah prayed before the Lord, and said, O Lord God of Israel, which dwellest between the cherubims, thou art the God, even thou alone, of all the kingdoms of the earth; thou hast made heaven and earth.
Mpe Ezekiasi asambelaki Yawe: « Oh Yawe, Nzambe ya Isalaele, Yo oyo ovandi likolo ya basheribe, ozali Nzambe kaka moko na likolo ya mikili nyonso ya mabele, Yo nde osala Likolo mpe mabele.
16 Lord, bow down thine ear, and hear: open, Lord, thine eyes, and see: and hear the words of Sennacherib, which hath sent him to reproach the living God.
Oh Yawe, pesa litoyi mpe yoka! Yawe, fungola miso mpe mona! Yoka maloba oyo Senakeribe atindi mpo na kosambwisa Nzambe na bomoi.
17 Of a truth, Lord, the kings of Assyria have destroyed the nations and their lands,
Oh Yawe, ezali ya solo ete bakonzi ya Asiri babebisaki bikolo oyo mpe mikili na bango,
18 And have cast their gods into the fire: for they were no gods, but the work of men’s hands, wood and stone: therefore they have destroyed them.
bazikisaki banzambe na bango na moto, pamba te banzambe yango ezalaki Nzambe te kasi banzete to mabanga ya pamba oyo esalemi na maboko ya bato.
19 Now therefore, O Lord our God, I beseech thee, save thou us out of his hand, that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that thou art the Lord God, even thou only.
Sik’oyo, oh Yawe, Nzambe na biso, bikisa biso na maboko na ye mpo ete mikili nyonso ya mabele eyeba solo ete Yo moko kaka, Yawe, nde ozali Nzambe! »
20 Then Isaiah the son of Amoz sent to Hezekiah, saying, Thus saith the Lord God of Israel, That which thou hast prayed to me against Sennacherib king of Assyria I have heard.
Ezayi, mwana mobali ya Amotsi, atindelaki Ezekiasi maloba oyo: « Tala liloba oyo Yawe, Nzambe ya Isalaele, alobi: Nayoki losambo na yo na tina na Senakeribe, mokonzi ya Asiri.
21 This is the word that the Lord hath spoken concerning him; The virgin the daughter of Zion hath despised thee, and laughed thee to scorn; the daughter of Jerusalem hath shaken her head at thee.
Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi mpo na kotelemela ye: ‹ Siona, mboka kitoko, ezali kotiola yo mpe koseka yo; Yelusalemi, mboka kitoko, ezali koningisa moto mpo na kotiola yo.
22 Whom hast thou reproached and blasphemed? and against whom hast thou exalted thy voice, and lifted up thine eyes on high? even against the Holy One of Israel.
Nani oyo ofingaki mpe otiolaki? Nani oyo omatiselaki mongongo mpe otalaki na miso ya lolendo? Ngai, Mosantu ya Isalaele!
23 By thy messengers thou hast reproached the Lord, and hast said, With the multitude of my chariots I am come up to the height of the mountains, to the sides of Lebanon, and will cut down the tall cedar trees thereof, and the choice fir trees thereof: and I will enter into the lodgings of his borders, and into the forest of his Carmel.
Na nzela ya bantoma na yo, ofingaki Nkolo mpe olobaki: ‘Na lisungi ya ebele ya bashar na ngai, namataki kino na basonge ya bangomba, na basonge oyo eleki likolo kati na Libani, nakweyisaki banzete na yango ya sedele oyo eleki milayi, banzete na yango ya sipele oyo eleki kitoko, mpe nakomaki kino na songe na yango ya suka, na zamba na yango oyo eleki kitoko,
24 I have digged and drunk strange waters, and with the sole of my feet have I dried up all the rivers of besieged places.
natimolaki mabulu ya mayi kati na mikili ya bapaya mpe namelaki mayi kuna. Na matambe ya makolo na ngai, nakawusaki miluka nyonso ya Ejipito.’
25 Hast thou not heard long ago how I have done it, and of ancient times that I have formed it? now have I brought it to pass, that thou shouldest be to lay waste fenced cities into ruinous heaps.
Oyoka nanu yango te? Nasalaki mabongisi ya makambo oyo wuta kala, nabongisaki yango wuta na mikolo oyo eleka kala; sik’oyo nde nakokisi yango; esengeli na yo kokomisa bingumba ya makasi mipiku ya mabanga.
26 Therefore their inhabitants were of small power, they were dismayed and confounded; they were as the grass of the field, and as the green herb, as the grass on the housetops, and as corn blasted before it be grown up.
Bato na yango bazangi makasi, balengi na somo mpe bakomi na soni, bakomi lokola matiti ya bilanga, lokola matiti ya langi ya mayi ya pondu, lokola matiti oyo ebotaka na mitondo ya bandako, ekawuka liboso ete ekola.
27 But I know thy abode, and thy going out, and thy coming in, and thy rage against me.
Nayebi esika nini ozalaka, tango nini obimaka, tango nini ozongaka, mpe tango nini otombokelaka Ngai.
28 Because thy rage against me and thy tumult is come up into mine ears, therefore I will put my hook in thy nose, and my bridle in thy lips, and I will turn thee back by the way by which thou camest.
Lokola otombokelaka Ngai, mpe lofundu na yo ekomi kino na matoyi na Ngai, nakotia lopete na Ngai na zolo na yo, nakokanga yo singa na bibebu ndenge bakangaka mpunda monoko, mpe nakozongisa yo na nzela oyo oyelaki. ›
29 And this shall be a sign unto thee, Ye shall eat this year such things as grow of themselves, and in the second year that which springeth of the same; and in the third year sow ye, and reap, and plant vineyards, and eat the fruits thereof.
Oh Ezekiasi, tala oyo ekozala elembo mpo na yo: Na mobu oyo, bokolia biloko oyo ekobima na nkona oyo ekweyaki na mabele; na mobu oyo ekolanda, bokolia biloko oyo ebotaka yango moko. Kasi na mobu ya misato, bokolona mpe bokobuka bambuma, bokolona banzete ya vino, mpe bokolia bambuma na yango.
30 And the remnant that is escaped of the house of Judah shall yet again take root downward, and bear fruit upward.
Bato ya Yuda oyo bakobika, oyo bakotikala, bakozala lisusu lokola nzete oyo ekotisi misisa na yango ya sika kati na mabele mpe eboti bambuma.
31 For out of Jerusalem shall go forth a remnant, and they that escape out of mount Zion: the zeal of the Lord of hosts shall do this.
Pamba te, na Yelusalemi, ndambo ya bato bakotikala; mpe na Siona, mwa ndambo bakobika. Bolingo makasi ya Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, nde ekokokisa yango.
32 Therefore thus saith the Lord concerning the king of Assyria, He shall not come into this city, nor shoot an arrow there, nor come before it with shield, nor cast a bank against it.
Yango wana, tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi na tina na mokonzi ya Asiri: ‹ Akokota na engumba oyo te, akobeta kuna ata mbanzi moko te, akobundisa yango na banguba te mpe akomatisa ata mabele te liboso na yango mpo na komibomba;
33 By the way that he came, by the same shall he return, and shall not come into this city, saith the Lord.
akozongela na nzela oyo ayelaki mpe akokota na engumba oyo te, elobi Yawe.
34 For I will defend this city, to save it, for mine own sake, and for my servant David’s sake.
Nakobatela engumba oyo mpe nakobikisa yango, mpo na lokumu ya Kombo na Ngai mpe mpo na lokumu ya Davidi, mosali na Ngai. › »
35 And it came to pass that night, that the angel of the Lord went out, and smote in the camp of the Assyrians an hundred fourscore and five thousand: and when they arose early in the morning, behold, they were all dead corpses.
Na butu wana, anjelu na Yawe abimaki mpe abomaki bato nkoto nkama moko na tuku mwambe na mitano kati na molako ya bato ya Asiri. Tango bato balamukaki na tongo ya mokolo oyo elandaki, bakutaki kaka bibembe.
36 So Sennacherib king of Assyria departed, and went and returned, and dwelt at Nineveh.
Boye Senakeribe, mokonzi ya Asiri, alongolaki molako, azongaki na Ninive mpe akomaki kovanda kuna.
37 And it came to pass, as he was worshipping in the house of Nisroch his god, that Adrammelech and Sharezer his sons smote him with the sword: and they escaped into the land of Armenia. And Esarhaddon his son reigned in his stead.
Mokolo moko, wana azalaki kogumbamela nzambe na ye, Nisiroki, kati na tempelo ya nzambe yango, bana na ye ya mibali, Adrameleki mpe Saretseri, babomaki ye na mopanga mpe bakimaki na Ararati. Bongo mwana na ye ya mobali, Esari-Adoni, akitanaki na ye na bokonzi.
