Kings III 13
1 And behold, there came a man of God out of Juda by the word of the Lord to Baethel, and Jeroboam stood at the altar to sacrifice.
Moto moko na Nzambe alongwaki na Yuda mpe akendeki na Beteli, kolanda etinda na Yawe, wana Jeroboami atelemaki pembeni ya etumbelo mpo na kotumba ansa.
2 And he cried against the altar by the word of the Lord, and said, O altar, altar, thus says the Lord, Behold, a son is [to be] born to the house of David, Josias by name; and he shall offer upon you the priests of the high places, [even] of them that sacrifice upon you, and [he] shall burn men's bones upon you.
Kolanda etinda na Yawe, moto na Nzambe agangaki makasi mpo na kolakela etumbelo mabe: « Etumbelo, etumbelo! Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: ‹ Mwana mobali moko akobotama na ndako ya Davidi, kombo na ye ekozala Joziasi. Akotumba na likolo na yo lokola mbeka banganga-nzambe ya bisambelo ya likolo ya bangomba, oyo batumbaka ansa na likolo na yo. Mpe na likolo na yo, etumbelo, bakotumba mikuwa ya bato! › »
3 And in that day one shall give a sign, saying, This [is] the word which the Lord has spoken, saying, Behold, the altar is tore, and the fatness upon it shall be poured out.
Na mokolo wana kaka, moto na Nzambe apesaki elembo: — Tala elembo oyo elakisi ete ezali Yawe nde alobi: Etumbelo ekobukana mpe putulu oyo ezali likolo na yango ekopanzana.
4 And it came to pass when king Jeroboam heard the words of the man of God who called on the altar that was in Baethel, that the king stretched forth his hand from the altar, saying, Take hold of him. And, behold, his hand, which he stretched forth against him, withered, and he could not draw it back to himself.
Tango mokonzi Jeroboami ayokaki bilakeli mabe oyo moto na Nzambe alobaki mpo na etumbelo ya Beteli, asembolaki loboko na ye wuta na etumbelo mpe alobaki: — Bokanga ye! Kasi loboko oyo Jeroboami asembolaki epai ya moto na Nzambe ekawukaki, mpe akokaki lisusu te kozongisa yango epai na ye.
5 And the altar was tore, and the fatness was poured out from the altar, according to the sign which the man of God gave by the word of the Lord.
Kaka na tango yango, etumbelo ebukanaki mpe putulu epanzanaki. Ezalaki penza elembo oyo moto na Nzambe apesaki kolanda etinda na Yawe.
6 And king Jeroboam said to the man of God, Intreat the Lord your God, and let my hand be restored to me. And the man of God entreated the Lord, and he restored the king's hand to him, and it became as before.
Mokonzi alobaki na moto na Nzambe: — Bondela Yawe, Nzambe na yo, mpe sambela mpo na ngai ete loboko na ngai ebonga. Moto na Nzambe abondelaki Yawe, mpe loboko ya mokonzi ebongaki, ezongaki ndenge ezalaki liboso.
7 And the king said to the man of God, Enter with me into the house, and dine, and I will give you a gift.
Bongo mokonzi alobaki na moto na Nzambe: — Tokende na ndako mpo ete ozwa eloko ya kolia mpe napesa yo kado.
8 And the man of God said to the king, If you should give me the half of your house, I would not go in with you, neither will I eat bread, neither will I drink water in this place; for thus the Lord charged me by [his] word, saying,
Kasi moto na Nzambe azongiselaki mokonzi: — Ata soki opesi ngai kati-kati ya bozwi na yo, nakokende epai na yo te, nakolia lipa te mpe nakomela ata litanga ya mayi te na esika oyo.
9 Eat no bread, and drink no water, and return not by the way by which you came.
Pamba te Yawe apesaki ngai mitindo oyo: « Osengeli te kolia lipa, komela mayi mpe kozongela na nzela oyo oyelaki. »
10 So he departed by another way, and returned not by the way by which he came to Baethel.
Boye, akendeki na nzela mosusu mpe azongaki te na nzela oyo ayelaki na Beteli.
11 And there lived an old prophet in Baethel; and his sons came and told him all the works that the man of God did on that day in Baethel, and the words which he spoke to the king: and they turned the face of their father.
Nzokande, mosakoli moko ya mobange azalaki kovanda na Beteli; bana na ye ya mibali bayaki koyebisa ye makambo nyonso oyo moto na Nzambe asalaki na Beteli, na mokolo wana, mpe oyo alobaki na mokonzi.
12 And their father spoke to them, saying, Which way went he? and his sons show him the way by which the man of God who came out of Juda went up.
Tata na bango atunaki bango: — Azongi na nzela nini? Bana na ye ya mibali balakisaki ye nzela oyo moto na Nzambe, oyo awutaki na Yuda, azongelaki.
13 And he said to his sons, Saddle me the ass: and they saddled him the ass, and he mounted it,
Bongo alobaki na bana na ye ya mibali: — Bobongisela ngai ane. Sima na bana na ye kobongisela ye ane, amataki likolo na yango,
14 and went after the man of God, and found him sitting under an oak: and he said to him, Are you the man of God that came out of Juda? And he said to him, I [am].
alandaki moto na Nzambe mpe akutaki ye avandi na se ya nzete ya Terebente. Atunaki ye: — Ozali solo moto na Nzambe oyo awuti na Yuda? Moto na Nzambe azongisaki: — Iyo, ezali nde ngai.
15 And he said to him, Come with me, and eat bread.
Mosakoli alobaki na ye: — Yaka kolia mesa moko na ngai, na ndako na ngai.
16 And he said, I shall not by any means be able to return with you, neither will I eat bread, neither will I drink water in this place.
Moto na Nzambe alobaki: — Nakoki te kozonga to kotambola nzela moko na yo; nakoki mpe te kolia lipa to komela mayi elongo na yo na esika oyo,
17 For thus the Lord commanded me by word, saying, Eat not bread there, and drink not water, and return not there by the way by which you came.
pamba te Yawe alobaki na ngai: « Osengeli te kolia lipa, komela mayi mpe kozongela na nzela oyo oyelaki. »
18 And he said to him, I also am a prophet as you [are]; and an angel spoke to me by the word of the Lord, saying, Bring him back to you into your house, and let him eat bread and drink water: but he lied to him.
Mosakoli ya mobange azongisaki: — Ngai mpe nazali mosakoli lokola yo. Anjelu moko ya Yawe alobaki na ngai kolanda etinda na Yawe: « Zonga na ye nzela moko na ndako na yo mpo ete alia lipa mpe amela mayi. » Nzokande azalaki kokosa ye.
19 And he brought him back, and he ate bread and drank water in his house.
Boye, moto na Nzambe azongaki nzela moko na ye na Beteli, aliaki mpe amelaki kati na ndako na ye.
20 And it came to pass while they were sitting at the table, that the word of the Lord came to the prophet that brought him back;
Wana bavandaki na mesa, Yawe alobaki na mosakoli ya mobange, oyo azongisaki moto na Nzambe,
21 and he spoke to the man of God that came out of Juda, saying, Thus says the Lord, Because you have resisted the word of the Lord, and have not kept the commandment which the Lord your God commanded you,
mpe agangelaki moto na Nzambe oyo awutaki na Yuda: — Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: « Mpo ete otosi te Liloba na Yawe mpe obateli te etinda oyo Yawe, Nzambe na yo, apesaki yo;
22 but have returned, and eaten bread and drunk water in the place of which he spoke to you, saying, You shall not eat bread, and shall not drink water; [therefore] your body shall in nowise enter into the sepulchre of your fathers.
mpo ete ozongi, olie lipa mpe omeli mayi na esika oyo napekisaki yo kolia to komela, bakokunda ebembe na yo te kati na kunda ya batata na yo. »
23 And it came to pass after he had eaten bread and drunk water, that he saddled the ass for him, and he turned and departed.
Tango moto na Nzambe asilisaki kolia mpe komela, mosakoli ya mobange abongisaki ane ya moto na Nzambe oyo azongisaki sima,
24 And a lion found him in the way, and killed him; and his body was cast out in the way, and the ass was standing by it, and the lion [also] was standing by the body.
mpe moto na Nzambe azongelaki nzela na ye. Wana azalaki kokende, akutanaki na nkosi na nzela, mpe nkosi yango ebomaki ye. Ebembe na ye etikalaki na nzela, nkosi mpe ane etelemaki pembeni ya ebembe na ye.
25 And, behold, men [were] passing by, and saw the carcase cast in the way, and the lion was standing near the carcase: and they went in and spoke [of it] in the city where the old prophet lived.
Bato oyo bazalaki koleka bamonaki ebembe elali na nzela mpe nkosi etelemi pembeni na yango. Bakendeki kopesa sango kati na engumba epai wapi mosakoli ya mobange azalaki kovanda.
26 And [the prophet] that turned him back out of the way heard, and said, This is the man of God who rebelled against the word of the Lord.
Tango mosakoli ya mobange, oyo azongisaki moto na Nzambe sima, na mobembo na ye, ayokaki sango yango, alobaki: — Ezali solo moto na Nzambe oyo atosaki te mitindo ya Yawe. Yawe akabi ye epai ya nkosi oyo epasoli ye mpe ebomi ye kolandisama na liloba oyo Yawe ayebisaki ye.
27 [And he spoke to his sons, saying, Saddle me the ass, and they saddled it. ]
Mosakoli ya mobange alobaki na bana na ye ya mibali: — Bobongisela ngai ane! Bana na ye ya mibali babongiselaki ye ane yango.
28 And he went and found the body cast in the way, and the ass and the lion were standing by the body: and the lion had not devoured the body of the man of God, and had not torn the ass.
Abimaki mpe akutaki ebembe elali na nzela, ane mpe nkosi etelemi pembeni ya ebembe. Nkosi eliaki te ezala ebembe to ane.
29 And the prophet took up the body of the man of God, and laid it on his ass; and the prophet brought him back to his city, to bury him in his own tomb,
Mosakoli ya mobange atombolaki ebembe ya moto na Nzambe, atiaki yango na likolo ya ane mpe amemaki yango na engumba na ye mpo na kosalela ye matanga mpe kokunda ye.
30 and they bewailed him, [saying], Alas, brother.
Atiaki ebembe kati na kunda na ye moko mpe ayembelaki ye nzembo oyo ya mawa: — Ah, mawa, ndeko na ngai!
31 And it came to pass after he had lamented him, that he spoke to his sons, saying, Whenever I die, bury me in this tomb wherein the man of God is buried; lay me by his bones, that my bones may be preserved with his bones.
Sima na kokunda ye, alobaki na bana na ye ya mibali: — Tango nakokufa, bokokunda ngai kati na lilita epai wapi bakundi moto na Nzambe; bokotia mikuwa na ngai pembeni ya mikuwa na ye.
32 For the word will surely come to pass which he spoke by the word of the Lord against the altar in Baethel, and against the high houses in Samaria.
Pamba te liloba oyo asakolaki kolanda etinda na Yawe mpo na kolakela mabe, etumbelo ya Beteli mpe bisambelo nyonso ya likolo ya bangomba kati na engumba Samari, ekokokisama solo.
33 And after this Jeroboam turned not from his sin, but he turned and made of part of the people priests of the [high places]: whoever would, he consecrated him, and he became a priest for the high places.
Atako bongo, Jeroboami atikaki te banzela na ye ya mabe, akobaki kaka kotia bato ya mboka na ye lokola banganga-nzambe ya bisambelo ya likolo ya bangomba; abulisaki lokola nganga-nzambe ya esambelo ya likolo ya ngomba moto nyonso oyo alingaki kokoma nganga-nzambe.
34 And this thing became sin to the house of Jeroboam, even to its destruction and its removal from the face of the earth.
Oyo nde ezalaki lisumu ya ndako ya Jeroboami, oyo ememaki kokweya mpe kobebisama ya bokonzi na ye kati na mokili.
