2 Kings 3
1 Now Jehoram the son of Ahab began to reign over Israel in Samaria the eighteenth year of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, and reigned twelve years.
Tango Jozafati, mokonzi ya Yuda, akokisaki mibu zomi na mwambe na bokonzi, Yorami, mwana mobali ya Akabi, akomaki mokonzi ya Isalaele na Samari. Asalaki mibu zomi na mibale na bokonzi.
2 And he wrought evil in the sight of the LORD; but not like his father, and like his mother: for he put away the image of Baal that his father had made.
Asalaki mabe na miso ya Yawe, kasi ndenge moko te na tata mpe mama na ye. Abukaki ekeko ya Bala oyo tata na ye atelemisaki,
3 Nevertheless he cleaved unto the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, which made Israel to sin; he departed not therefrom.
kasi akangamaki kaka na lisumu ya Jeroboami, mwana mobali ya Nebati, oyo amemaki Isalaele na kosala masumu; atikalaki kobongwana na yango te.
4 And Mesha king of Moab was a sheepmaster, and rendered unto the king of Israel an hundred thousand lambs, and an hundred thousand rams, with the wool.
Mesha, mokonzi ya Moabi, azalaki kobokola bameme. Mibu nyonso, azalaki kofuta mpako epai ya mokonzi ya Isalaele, oyo ezalaki na motuya ya bampate nkoto nkama moko mpe ya bameme ya mibali nkoto nkama moko elongo na bapwale na yango.
5 But it came to pass, when Ahab was dead, that the king of Moab rebelled against the king of Israel.
Tango Akabi akufaki, mokonzi ya Moabi atombokelaki mokonzi ya Isalaele.
6 And king Jehoram went out of Samaria the same time, and numbered all Israel.
Na tango wana, mokonzi Yorami abimaki na Samari mpe asangisaki Isalaele mobimba.
7 And he went and sent to Jehoshaphat the king of Judah, saying, The king of Moab hath rebelled against me: wilt thou go with me against Moab to battle? And he said, I will go up: I [am] as thou [art], my people as thy people, [and] my horses as thy horses.
Atindaki lisusu sango oyo epai ya Jozafati, mokonzi ya Yuda: — Mokonzi ya Moabi atombokeli ngai. Okoki solo kokende elongo na ngai mpo na kobundisa bato ya Moabi? Mokonzi Jozafati azongisaki: — Nakokende na yo elongo. Ngai na yo tozali kaka moto moko; bato na ngai bazali kaka bato na yo, bongo bampunda na ngai ezali mpe bampunda na yo.
8 And he said, Which way shall we go up? And he answered, The way through the wilderness of Edom.
Jozafati atunaki: — Tokokende na nzela nini? Yorami azongisaki: — Na nzela ya esobe ya Edomi.
9 So the king of Israel went, and the king of Judah, and the king of Edom: and they fetched a compass of seven days’ journey: and there was no water for the host, and for the cattle that followed them.
Mokonzi ya Isalaele abimaki elongo na mokonzi ya Yuda mpe mokonzi ya Edomi. Batambolaki mikolo sambo, kasi mayi ya komela ezalaki lisusu te mpo na mampinga mpe banyama oyo ezalaki kotambola elongo na bango.
10 And the king of Israel said, Alas! that the LORD hath called these three kings together, to deliver them into the hand of Moab!
Mokonzi ya Isalaele akamwaki: — Ndenge nini boye! Yawe asangisi biso awa, biso bakonzi misato, kaka mpo na kokaba biso na maboko ya bato ya Moabi?
11 But Jehoshaphat said, [Is there] not here a prophet of the LORD, that we may enquire of the LORD by him? And one of the king of Israel’s servants answered and said, Here [is] Elisha the son of Shaphat, which poured water on the hands of Elijah.
Kasi Jozafati atunaki: — Awa, ezali te na mosakoli ya Yawe mpo ete totuna toli ya Yawe na nzela na ye? Mokonzi moko ya mampinga ya mokonzi ya Isalaele azongisaki: — Elize, mwana mobali ya Shafati, azali awa. Azalaki kosopa mayi na maboko ya Eliya.
12 And Jehoshaphat said, The word of the LORD is with him. So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat and the king of Edom went down to him.
Jozafati alobaki: — Solo, Liloba na Yawe ezali elongo na ye. Boye mokonzi ya Isalaele elongo na Jozafati mpe mokonzi ya Edomi bakendeki epai ya Elize.
13 And Elisha said unto the king of Israel, What have I to do with thee? get thee to the prophets of thy father, and to the prophets of thy mother. And the king of Israel said unto him, Nay: for the LORD hath called these three kings together, to deliver them into the hand of Moab.
Elize alobaki na mokonzi ya Isalaele: — Ngai na yo likambo nini? Kende koluka mosakoli ya tata na yo to ya mama na yo. Mokonzi ya Isalaele azongisaki: — Te! Yawe asangisi biso te, biso bakonzi oyo misato, mpo na kokaba biso na maboko ya bato ya Moabi!
14 And Elisha said, [As] the LORD of hosts liveth, before whom I stand, surely, were it not that I regard the presence of Jehoshaphat the king of Judah, I would not look toward thee, nor see thee.
Elize azongisaki: — Na Kombo na Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, oyo ngai nasalelaka; soki ezalaki te mpo na kotosa Jozafati, mokonzi ya Yuda, nalingaki kutu ata moke te kotala yo to kolanda yo na bokebi.
15 But now bring me a minstrel. And it came to pass, when the minstrel played, that the hand of the LORD came upon him.
Kasi sik’oyo, memela ngai mobeti moko ya lindanda! Wana mobeti lindanda azalaki kobeta, loboko ya Yawe ekitelaki Elize,
16 And he said, Thus saith the LORD, Make this valley full of ditches.
mpe Elize alobaki: « Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: Botimola mabulu ebele na lubwaku oyo!
17 For thus saith the LORD, Ye shall not see wind, neither shall ye see rain; yet that valley shall be filled with water, that ye may drink, both ye, and your cattle, and your beasts.
Pamba te, tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: Bokotikala te komona mopepe to mvula, kasi lubwaku oyo ekotonda na mayi, mpe bino elongo na bibwele na bino bokomela yango.
18 And this is [but] a light thing in the sight of the LORD: he will deliver the Moabites also into your hand.
Ezali likambo moke na miso ya Yawe. Akokaba lisusu bato ya Moabi na maboko na bino.
19 And ye shall smite every fenced city, and every choice city, and shall fell every good tree, and stop all wells of water, and mar every good piece of land with stones.
Bokobuka bingumba na bango nyonso oyo batonga makasi mpe bingumba nyonso ya minene, bokokata banzete na bango nyonso ya kitoko, bokokanga bitima nyonso ya mayi mpe bokobebisa bilanga nyonso na mabanga. »
20 And it came to pass in the morning, when the meat offering was offered, that, behold, there came water by the way of Edom, and the country was filled with water.
Na tongo ya mokolo oyo elandaki, na tango oyo batumbaka mbeka, mayi ebandaki kotiola na nzela ya Edomi, mpe mabele etondaki na mayi.
21 And when all the Moabites heard that the kings were come up to fight against them, they gathered all that were able to put on armour, and upward, and stood in the border.
Nzokande, sima na bato nyonso ya Moabi koyoka sango ete bakonzi bayei kobundisa bango, babengaki bato nyonso, bilenge mpe mikolo oyo bakoki komema bibundeli, mpe batelemisaki bango na mondelo ya mboka.
22 And they rose up early in the morning, and the sun shone upon the water, and the Moabites saw the water on the other side [as] red as blood:
Tango balamukaki na tongo-tongo, moyi ezalaki kongala na mayi; mpe bato ya Moabi bamonaki liboso na bango mayi motane lokola makila.
23 And they said, This [is] blood: the kings are surely slain, and they have smitten one another: now therefore, Moab, to the spoil.
Bagangaki: « Ezali makila! Bakonzi babundi bango na bango. Sik’oyo, bato na Moabi, tokende kobotola biloko na bango! »
24 And when they came to the camp of Israel, the Israelites rose up and smote the Moabites, so that they fled before them: but they went forward smiting the Moabites, even in [their] country.
Kasi tango bato ya Moabi bakomaki na molako ya bana ya Isalaele, bana ya Isalaele batelemaki, babundisaki bango kino bato ya Moabi bakimaki. Bato ya Isalaele bakotaki na mboka Moabi mpe babetaki yango.
25 And they beat down the cities, and on every good piece of land cast every man his stone, and filled it; and they stopped all the wells of water, and felled all the good trees: only in Kir-haraseth left they the stones thereof; howbeit the slingers went about [it], and smote it.
Babebisaki bingumba, mpe moto nyonso abwakaki libanga moko na bilanga nyonso ya kitoko kino etondaki na mabanga, bakangaki bitima nyonso ya mayi, mpe bakataki nzete nyonso ya kitoko. Kaka engumba ya Kiri-Aresheti nde etikalaki na mabanga na yango; kasi babwaki ya mabanga bazingelaki yango mpe babundisaki yango lokola.
26 And when the king of Moab saw that the battle was too sore for him, he took with him seven hundred men that drew swords, to break through [even] unto the king of Edom: but they could not.
Tango mokonzi ya Moabi amonaki ete bitumba ebalukeli ye, akamataki basoda nkama sambo oyo babundaka na mipanga, mpo na kofungola nzela kino epai ya mokonzi ya Edomi, kasi balongaki te.
27 Then he took his eldest son that should have reigned in his stead, and offered him [for] a burnt offering upon the wall. And there was great indignation against Israel: and they departed from him, and returned to [their own] land.
Boye azwaki mwana na ye ya liboso ya mobali oyo alingaki kokitana na ye na bokonzi, abonzaki ye lokola mbeka ya kotumba, na likolo ya mir ya engumba. Tango bamonaki bongo, bana ya Isalaele bayokaki mawa, balongwaki mpe bazongaki na mboka na bango.
