2 Kings 6
1 And the sons of the prophets said unto Elisha', Behold now, the place where we dwell before thee is too narrow for us.
Mokolo moko, bayekoli ya basakoli balobaki na Elize: — Tala! Esika oyo tosanganaka elongo na yo ekomi moke mingi mpo na biso.
2 Let us go, we pray thee, as far as the Jordan, and take thence every man one beam, and let us prepare for us there a place to dwell therein. And he said, Go.
Pesa biso nzela ya kokende na ebale Yordani epai wapi moko na moko kati na biso akoki kozwa nzete mpo na kotonga kuna esika ya kovanda. Elize alobaki na bango: — Bokende!
3 And one said, Give thy assent, I pray thee, and go with thy servants. And he said, I will indeed go.
Moko kati na bango alobaki: — Okosepela te kokende elongo na basali na yo? Elize azongisaki: — Nandimi, nakokende.
4 So he went with them; and they came to the Jordan, and they cut down trees.
Boye akendeki elongo na bango. Bakendeki na ebale Yordani mpe babandaki kokata banzete.
5 But as one was felling a beam, the axe-head fell into the water: and he cried, and said, Alas, my Lord! it was also borrowed.
Wana moko kati na bango azalaki kokata nzete, ebende ya epasola na ye ekweyaki na mayi. Agangaki: — Ah, nkolo na ngai! Nadefaki yango kodefa!
6 And the man of God said, Where did it fall? And he showed him the place. And he cut down a stick, and cast it in thither, and he caused the iron to swim.
Moto na Nzambe atunaki: — Ekweyaki na esika nini? Sima na ye kolakisa ye esika yango, Elize akataki eteni ya nzete mpe abwakaki yango na esika oyo ebende ya epasola ekweyaki. Mpe, na mbala moko, eteni ya nzete yango ematisaki ebende na likolo ya mayi, mpe ebende ekomaki kotepa.
7 And then said he, Lift it up to thee. And he stretched out his hand, and took it.
Elize alobaki: — Kamata yango! Boye, mosali wana asembolaki loboko na ye mpe akamataki yango.
8 And the king of Syria made war against Israel, and took counsel with his servants, saying, In such and such a place shall be my camp.
Mokonzi ya Siri azalaki kobundisa bana ya Isalaele. Asololaki na basali na ye mpe alobaki: « Nakotia molako na ngai na esika songolo to pakala. »
9 And the man of God sent unto the king of Israel, saying, Beware that thou pass not that place; for thither the Syrians are come down.
Mbala moko, moto na Nzambe atindaki maloba oyo epai ya mokonzi ya Isalaele: « Keba! Koleka na esika wana te, pamba te bato ya Siri bazali kokita kuna. »
10 And the king of Israel sent to the place, which the man of God had told him and warned him of, and he took care of himself there: not once nor twice.
Mokonzi ya Isalaele atindaki bato kokende kononga esika oyo moto na Nzambe alobelaki. Mbala ebele, Elize azalaki kokebisa mokonzi ete azala na bokebi na bisika ya ndenge wana; mpe mbala ebele, mokonzi ya Isalaele azalaki komibikisa na motambo ya bato ya Siri.
11 Therefore the heart of the king of Syria was sorely troubled concerning this thing; and he called for his servants, and said unto them, Can ye not tell me who of us is for the king of Israel?
Suka na suka, mokonzi ya Siri asilikaki makasi, abengisaki bakalaka na ye mpe atunaki bango: — Bokoki te koyebisa ngai nani kati na biso azali na ngambo ya mokonzi ya Isalaele?
12 And one of his servants said, Not so, my Lord, O king; but Elisha', the prophet that is in Israel, can tell unto the king of Israel the words that thou mayest speak in thy sleeping-chamber.
Moko kati na bakalaka na ye alobaki: — Mokonzi, nkolo na ngai, moko te kati na biso. Ezali nde mosakoli Elize oyo azali kati na Isalaele; ye nde ayebaka mpe ayebisaka mokonzi ya Isalaele ata makambo oyo olobaka kati na shambre na yo ya kolala.
13 And he said, Go and see where he is, that I may send and fetch him. And it was told unto him, saying, Behold, he is in Dothan.
Mokonzi apesaki mitindo: — Bokende koluka esika oyo azali mpo ete natinda bato mpo na kokanga ye. Bayaki koyebisa ye: — Azali na Dotani.
14 And he sent thither horses, and chariots, and a strong army: and they came by night, and surrounded the city.
Bongo mokonzi atindaki kuna bampunda elongo na bashar mpe basoda ebele. Bakendeki kuna na butu mpe bazingelaki engumba.
15 And the servant of the man of God rose early, and went forth, when, behold, an army compassed the city both with horses and chariots. And his servant said unto him, Alas, my master! how shall we do?
Na tongo-tongo ya mokolo oyo elandaki, tango mosali ya moto na Nzambe alamukaki mpe abimaki, amonaki ete mampinga elongo na bampunda mpe bashar bazingelaki engumba. Mosali yango alobaki na Elize: — Oh nkolo na ngai, eyindi na libanda! Tokosala nini!
16 And he said, Fear not: for those that are with us are more than those that are with them.
Mosakoli azongisaki: — Kobanga te, pamba te ba-oyo bazali elongo na biso bazali ebele koleka ba-oyo bazali elongo na bango.
17 And Elisha' prayed, and said, O Lord, open, I pray thee, his eyes, that he may see. And the Lord opened the eyes of the young man: and he saw, and behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire round about Elisha'.
Elize asambelaki: — Oh Yawe, fungola ye miso mpo ete amona! Yawe afungolaki miso ya mosali, mpe mosali atalaki; amonaki bangomba mike etonda na bampunda mpe bashar ya moto zingazinga ya Elize.
18 And when they came down to him, Elisha' prayed unto the Lord, and said, Smite, I pray thee, this people with blindness. And he smote them with blindness according to the word of Elisha'.
Lokola monguna azalaki kopusana pene na ye, Elize asambelaki Yawe: — Boma ekolo oyo miso! Mpe Yawe abomaki bango miso, ndenge kaka Elize asengaki.
19 And Elisha' said unto them, This is not the way, neither is this the city: follow me, and I will lead you to the man whom ye wish to seek. And he led them thus to Samaria.
Elize alobaki na bango: — Nzela ezali awa te! Engumba mpe ezali awa te! Bolanda ngai, mpe nakomema bino epai ya moto oyo bozali koluka. Elize amemaki bango na Samari.
20 And it came to pass, when they were come into Samaria, that Elisha' said, Lord, open the eyes of these, that they may see. And the Lord opened their eyes, and they saw, and, behold, they were in the midst of Samaria.
Tango bakotaki na engumba, Elize asambelaki lisusu: — Yawe, fungola miso ya bato oyo mpo ete bamona. Yawe afungolaki miso na bango, mpe bamonaki ete bazali kati na engumba Samari.
21 And the king of Israel said unto Elisha', when he saw them, Shall I smite them? Shall I smite them, my father?
Tango mokonzi ya Isalaele amonaki bango, atunaki Elize: — Tata na ngai, naboma bango? Naboma bango?
22 But he said, Thou shalt not smite them: wouldst thou smite those whom thou hast taken captive with thy sword and with thy bow? set bread and water before them, that they may eat and drink, and go [back] to their master.
Elize azongisaki: — Koboma bango te! Boni, okoboma solo bato oyo okangi, na nzela ya mopanga na yo to ya tolotolo na yo? Pesa bango nde bilei mpe mayi ya komela mpo ete balia, bamela mpe bazonga epai ya mokonzi na bango.
23 And he prepared for them a great meal; and they ate and drank, and he sent them away, and they went [back] to their master. And the predatory bands of Syria came no more into the land of Israel.
Boye abongisaki feti monene mpo na bango. Tango basilisaki kolia mpe komela, azongisaki bango. Mpe bazongaki epai ya mokonzi na bango. Wuta tango yango, mampinga ya Siri batikaki kokota mpo na kobundisa Isalaele.
24 And it came to pass after this, that Ben-hadad the king of Syria assembled all his camp, and went up, and besieged Samaria.
Sima na tango, Beni-Adadi, mokonzi ya Siri, asangisaki mampinga na ye nyonso mpe akendeki kozingela engumba Samari.
25 And there was a great famine in Samaria; and, behold, they besieged it, until an ass's head was sold for eighty pieces of silver, and the fourth part of a kab of dove's dung for five pieces of silver.
Lokola bazingelaki Samari tango molayi, nzala makasi ekotaki kati na engumba kino moto moko ya ane ekomaki kotekama na motuya ya mbongo ya bibende ya palata, tuku mwambe; mpe bagrame nkama mibale na tuku mitano ya nyei ekawuka ya ebenga ekomaki kotekama na motuya ya mbongo ya bibende ya palata, mitano.
26 And it happened as the king of Israel was passing along upon the wall, that a woman cried unto him, saying, Help, my Lord, O king.
Mokolo moko, wana mokonzi ya Isalaele azalaki koleka na likolo ya mir ya lopango, mwasi moko agangaki epai na ye: — Mokonzi, nkolo na ngai, sunga ngai!
27 And he said, If the Lord do not help thee, whence shall I help thee? shall it be out of the threshing-floor, or out of the wine-press?
Mokonzi azongisaki: — Soki Yawe asungi yo te, esika nini ngai nakozwa lisungi mpo na kosunga yo? Nazangi vino to ble ya kopesa yo.
28 And the king said unto her, What aileth thee? And she said, This woman said unto me, Give up thy son, that we may eat him today, and my son we will eat tomorrow.
Nzokande, mokonzi atunaki ye lisusu: — Likambo nini ekomeli yo? Mwasi azongisaki: — Mwasi wana alobaki na ngai: « Pesa mwana na yo ya mobali mpo ete tolia ye lelo, bongo lobi, tokolia mwana na ngai. »
29 So we boiled my son, and ate him; but when I said unto her on the next day, Give up thy son, that we may eat him: she hid her son.
Boye tolambaki mwana na ngai ya mobali mpe toliaki ye. Mokolo oyo elandaki, nalobaki na ye: « Pesa mwana na yo ya mobali mpo ete tolia ye, » kasi abombaki ye.
30 And it came to pass, when the king heard the words of the woman, that he rent his clothes, as he was passing along upon the wall: and the people looked, and, behold, he had sackcloth beneath upon his flesh.
Tango mokonzi ayokaki maloba ya mwasi oyo, apasolaki bilamba na ye. Lokola atambolaki lisusu na likolo ya mir ya lopango, bato bamonaki ete, na se ya bilamba na ye ya bokonzi, alataki saki na nzoto na ye.
31 Then said he, May God do so unto me and continue so yet farther, if the head of Elisha' the son of Shaphat shall remain on him this day.
Mokonzi alobaki: « Tika ete Nzambe apesa ngai etumbu ya makasi soki kaka moto ya Elize, mwana mobali ya Shafati, etikali na likolo ya mapeka na ye. »
32 But Elisha' was sitting in his house, and the elders were sitting with him; and he sent a man from before him; but before the messenger could yet come to him, he said to the elders, See ye how this son of the murderer hath sent to remove my head? look, when the messenger cometh, shut the door, and hold him back with the door: is not the sound of his master's feet behind him?
Nzokande, Elize avandaki kati na ndako na ye, elongo na bakambi ya engumba. Mokonzi atindaki ntoma moko epai ya Elize. Kasi liboso ete akoma, Elize alobaki na bakambi ya engumba: « Bozali komona te ete mobomi oyo atindi moto mpo na koya kokata ngai moto? Bosala keba! Tango kaka bokomona ye, bokanga ekuke liboso na ye mpe botindika ye na yango na sima! Boyoka! Wana ezali makelele ya makolo ya nkolo na ye te, oyo ezali koyokana sima na ye? »
33 And while he was yet speaking with them, behold, the messenger came down unto him: and he said, Behold, this evil is of the Lord; what shall I hope for in the Lord any longer?
Wana Elize azalaki nanu koloba, ntoma ya mokonzi akomaki mpe ayebisaki ye maloba ya mokonzi: « Pasi oyo nyonso ewuti epai ya Yawe! Nakozela lisusu nini kowuta na Ye? »
