Chronicles II 18
1 And Josaphat had yet great wealth and glory, and he connected himself by marriage with the house of Achaab.
Mokonzi Jozafati akomaki na lokumu mingi mpe na bozwi ebele, asalaki boyokani elongo na Akabi na nzela ya libala.
2 And he went down after a term of years to Achaab to Samaria: and Achaab killed for him sheep and calves, in abundance, and for the people with him, and he much desired him to go up with him to Ramoth of the country of Galaad.
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 Achaab king of Israel said to Josaphat king of Juda, Will you go with me to Ramoth of the country of Galaad? And he said to him, As I [am], so also [are] you, as your people, [so] also [is] my people with you for 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 Josaphat said to the king of Israel, Seek, I pray you, the Lord today.
Kasi Jozafati alobaki lisusu na mokonzi ya Isalaele: — Nabondeli yo, tuna nanu toli ya Yawe.
5 And the king of Israel gathered the prophets, four hundred men, and said to them, Shall I go to Ramoth Galaad to battle, or shall I forbear? And they said, Go up, and God shall deliver [it] into the hands of the king.
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 And Josaphat said, Is there not here a prophet of the Lord besides, that we may enquire 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 to Josaphat, There is yet one man by whom to enquire of the Lord; but I hate him, for he does not prophesy concerning me for good, for all his days [are] for evil: this [is] Michaias the son of Jembla. And Josaphat 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 called an eunuch, and said, [Fetch] quickly Michaias the son of Jembla.
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 Josaphat king of Juda were sitting each on his throne, and clothed in their robes, sitting in the open space at the entrance of the gate of Samaria: and all the prophets were prophesying 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 Sedekias son of Chanaan made for himself iron horns, and said, Thus says the Lord, With these you shall thrust Syria until it 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 Galaad, and you shall prosper; and the Lord shall deliver it into the hands 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 Michaias spoke to him, saying, Behold, the prophets have spoken favourably concerning the king with one mouth; let now, I pray you, your words be as [the words] of one of them, and do you speak good things.
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 Michaias said, [As] the Lord lives, whatever God shall say to me, that will I speak.
Kasi Mishe azongisaki: — Na Kombo na Yawe, makambo oyo Nzambe na ngai akoloba na ngai, yango nde nakoloba.
14 And he came to the king, and the king said to him, Michaias, shall I go up to Ramoth Galaad to battle, or shall I forbear? And he said, Go up, and you shall prosper, and they shall be given into your hands.
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 often shall I solemnly charge you that you speak to me nothing but truth 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 And he said, I saw Israel scattered on the mountains, as sheep without a shepherd: and the Lord said, These have no commander; let each return to his home 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 Josaphat, Said I not to you, that he would not prophesy concerning me good, 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 But he said, Not so. Hear you the word of the Lord: I saw the Lord sitting on his throne, and all the host of heaven stood by 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 will deceive Achaab king of Israel, that he may go up, and fall in Ramoth Galaad? And one spoke this way, and another spoke that way.
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 And there came forth a spirit, and stood before the Lord, and said, I will deceive him. And the Lord said, Whereby?
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 forth, and will be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets. And [the Lord] said, You shall deceive [him], and shall prevail: go forth, and do 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 And now, behold, the Lord has put a false spirit in the mouth of these your prophets, and the Lord has spoken evil against you.
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 Sedekias the son of Chanaan drew near, and struck Michaias on the cheek, and said to him, By what way passed the Spirit of the Lord from me to speak to you?
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 Michaias said, Behold, you shall see in that day, when you shall go from chamber to chamber to hide yourself.
Mishe azongisaki: — Okososola yango kaka na mokolo oyo okokima mpe okotambola na shambre moko na moko mpo na koluka kobombama.
25 And the king of Israel said, Take Michaias, and carry him back to Emer the governor of the city, and to Joas the captain, 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 you shall say, Thus said the king, Put this fellow into the prison house, and let him eat the bread of affliction, and [drink] the 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 Michaias said, If you do at all return in peace, the Lord has not spoken by me. And he said, Hear, all you 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 Josaphat king of Juda, went up to Ramoth Galaad.
Mokonzi ya Isalaele mpe Jozafati, mokonzi ya Yuda, bakendeki kobundisa Ramoti ya Galadi.
29 And the king of Israel said to Josaphat, Disguise me, and I will enter into the battle: and do you put on my raiment. so the king of Israel disguised himself, and entered into 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 neither against small nor great, but only against 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 Josaphat, that they said, It is the king of Israel: and they compassed him about to fight against him: and Josaphat cried out, and the Lord delivered him; and God turned them away 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 And it came to pass, when the captains of the chariots saw that it was not the king of Israel, that they turned away from him.
Tango bakonzi ya basoda, oyo batambolisaka bashar basosolaki ete ezali mokonzi ya Isalaele te, batikaki kolanda ye.
33 And a man drew a bow with a good aim, and struck the king of Israel between the lungs and the breast-plate: and he said to the charioteer, Turn your hand, drive me out of the battle, 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 turned in that day; and the king of Israel remained on the chariot against Syria until evening, and died at sunset.
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.
