1 Kings 19
1 And Ahab declares to Jezebel all that Elijah did, and all of how he slew all the prophets by the sword,
Akabi ayebisaki Jezabeli makambo nyonso oyo Eliya asalaki mpe ndenge nini abomaki basakoli nyonso na mopanga.
2 and Jezebel sends a messenger to Elijah, saying, “Thus the gods do, and thus do they add—surely about this time tomorrow, I make your life as the life of one of them.”
Boye Jezabeli atindaki ntoma epai ya Eliya mpo na koyebisa ye: — Tika ete banzambe bapesa ngai etumbu ya makasi koleka soki lobi, kaka na ngonga oyo, nakomisi bomoi na yo te ndenge okomisaki bomoi ya moko na moko kati na bango.
3 And he fears, and rises, and goes for his life, and comes to Beer-Sheba, that [is] Judah’s, and leaves his young man there,
Eliya abangaki mpe akimaki mpo na kobikisa bomoi na ye. Tango akomaki na Beri-Sheba ya Yuda, atikaki kuna mosali na ye.
4 and he himself has gone a day’s journey into the wilderness, and comes and sits under a certain broom tree, and desires his soul to die, and says, “Enough, now, O YHWH, take my soul, for I [am] not better than my fathers.”
Sima na ye kotambola mokolo mobimba kati na esobe, akomaki na nzete moko ya moke, avandaki na se na yango mpe asengaki kufa na maloba oyo: — Yawe, nalembi! Zwa molimo na ngai mpo ete naleki bakoko na ngai te na malamu.
5 And he lies down and sleeps under a certain broom tree, and behold, a messenger is reaching toward him and says to him, “Rise, eat”;
Bongo alalaki na se ya nzete yango mpe azwaki pongi. Mbala moko, anjelu moko asimbaki ye mpe alobaki na ye: — Lamuka mpe lia.
6 and he looks attentively, and behold, at his bolster [is] a cake [on] burning stones, and a dish of water, and he eats, and drinks, and turns, and lies down.
Atalaki mpe amonaki pene ya esika oyo atiaki moto, lipa batumba na mabanga ya moto mpe mbeki ya mayi. Aliaki, amelaki mpe alalaki lisusu.
7 And the messenger of YHWH turns back a second time, and is reaching toward him, and says, “Rise, eat, for the way is too great for you”;
Anjelu ya Yawe azongaki na mbala ya mibale, asimbaki ye lisusu mpe alobaki: — Lamuka mpe lia, pamba te mobembo ezali molayi mingi mpo na yo.
8 and he rises, and eats, and drinks, and goes in the power of that food [for] forty days and forty nights, to the mountain of God—Horeb.
Boye alamukaki, aliaki mpe amelaki. Bongo na makasi oyo azwaki na nzela ya bilei, atambolaki mobembo ya mikolo tuku minei mpe ya babutu tuku minei kino akomaki na Orebi, ngomba ya Nzambe.
9 And he comes in there, to the cave, and lodges there, and behold, the word of YHWH [is] to him, and says to him, “What are you [doing] here, Elijah?”
Kuna, akotaki na lidusu ya mabanga mpe alekisaki butu. Yawe alobaki na ye: — Eliya, ozali kosala nini awa?
10 And he says, “I have been very zealous for YHWH, God of Hosts, for the sons of Israel have forsaken Your covenant—they have thrown down Your altars, and they have slain Your prophets by the sword, and I am left, I, by myself, and they seek my life—to take it.”
Azongisaki: — Nazali na bolingo eleka ndelo mpo na Yawe Nzambe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, pamba te bana ya Isalaele babwaki boyokani na Yo, babuki bitumbelo na Yo mpe babomi basakoli na Yo na mopanga. Natikali kaka ngai moko na bomoi. Sik’oyo bazali lisusu koluka koboma ngai.
11 And He says, “Go out, and you have stood on the mountain before YHWH.” And behold, YHWH is passing by, and a wind—great and strong—is tearing mountains, and shattering rocks before YHWH, [but] YHWH [is] not in the wind; and after the wind [is] a shaking, [but] YHWH [is] not in the shaking;
Yawe alobaki: — Bima mpe telema na ngomba liboso ya Yawe, pamba te Yawe alingi koleka. Boye mopepe moko ya makasi penza epepaki, ebukaki bangomba mpe epanzaki mabanga liboso ya Yawe. Nzokande Yawe azalaki kati na mopepe makasi te.
12 and after the shaking [is] a fire, [but] YHWH [is] not in the fire; and after the fire [is] a voice [like] a small whisper;
Sima na mopepe makasi, mabele eninganaki; nzokande Yawe azalaki te kati na koningana ya mabele. Sima na koningana ya mabele, moto eyaki; nzokande Yawe azalaki te kati na moto wana. Mpe sima na moto, mopepe ya kimia penza eyaki.
13 and it comes to pass, at Elijah’s hearing [it], that he wraps his face in his robe, and goes out, and stands at the opening of the cave, and behold, a voice [speaks] to him, and it says, “What are you [doing] here, Elijah?”
Tango kaka Eliya ayokaki yango, azipaki elongi na ye na songe ya kazaka na ye, abimaki mpe atelemaki na ekotelo ya lidusu ya mabanga. Mpe mongongo moko elobaki na ye lisusu: — Eliya, ozali kosala nini awa?
14 And he says, “I have been very zealous for YHWH, God of Hosts; for the sons of Israel have forsaken Your covenant, they have thrown down Your altars, and they have slain Your prophets by the sword, and I am left, I, by myself, and they seek my life—to take it.”
Azongisaki: — Nazali na bolingo eleka ndelo mpo na Yawe Nzambe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, pamba te bana ya Isalaele, babwaki boyokani na Yo, babuki bitumbelo na Yo mpe babomi basakoli na Yo na mopanga. Natikali kaka ngai moko na bomoi. Sik’oyo bazali lisusu koluka koboma ngai.
15 And YHWH says to him, “Go, return on your way to the wilderness of Damascus, and you have gone in, and anointed Hazael for king over Aram,
Yawe alobaki na ye: — Zonga na nzela oyo oyelaki mpe kende na esobe ya Damasi. Tango okokoma kuna, okopakola Azaeli mafuta mpo ete akoma mokonzi ya Siri.
16 and you anoint Jehu son of Nimshi for king over Israel, and you anoint Elisha son of Shaphat, of Abel-Meholah, for prophet in your stead.
Okopakola lisusu Jewu, mwana mobali ya Nimishi, mafuta mpo ete akoma mokonzi ya Isalaele. Okopakola lisusu Elize, mwana mobali ya Shafati ya Abele-Meola, mafuta mpo ete akoma mosakoli na esika na yo.
17 And it has been, he who has escaped from the sword of Hazael, Jehu puts to death, and he who has escaped from the sword of Jehu, Elisha puts to death;
Moto nyonso oyo akobika na mopanga ya Azaeli, Jewu akoboma ye; mpe moto nyonso oyo akobika na mopanga ya Jewu, Elize akoboma ye.
18 and I have left in Israel seven thousand—all the knees that have not bowed to Ba‘al, and every mouth that has not kissed him.”
Atako bongo, nabombi kati na Isalaele bato nkoto sambo, ba-oyo mabolongo na bango efukameli Bala te, mpe minoko na bango epesi ye beze te.
19 And he goes there, and finds Elisha son of Shaphat, and he is plowing; twelve yoke [are] before him, and he [is] with the twelfth; and Elijah passes over to him, and casts his robe at him,
Eliya alongwaki wana mpe akutanaki na Elize, mwana mobali ya Shafati. Azalaki kobalola bilanga na bangombe tuku mibale na minei bakangisa mibale-mibale liboso na ye mpe ye moko azalaki kotambolisa bangombe mibale ya suka. Eliya apusanaki pembeni ya Elize mpe abwakelaki Elize kazaka na ye.
20 and he forsakes the ox, and runs after Elijah, and says, “Please let me give a kiss to my father and to my mother, and I go after you.” And he says to him, “Go, turn back, for what have I done to you?”
Elize atikaki bangombe na ye, akimaki mbangu sima na Eliya mpe alobaki: — Tika ete nakende nanu kopesa tata mpe mama na ngai beze mpo na kokabwana na bango, bongo nakolanda yo. Eliya azongisaki: — Zonga na yo, nasali yo nini?
21 And he turns back from after him, and takes the yoke of the ox, and sacrifices it, and with [the] instruments of the ox he has boiled its flesh, and gives to the people, and they eat, and he rises, and goes after Elijah, and serves him.
Boye Elize atikaki ye mpe azongaki. Azwaki bangombe na ye mibale oyo bakangisa, akataki yango kingo mpe abonzaki yango lokola mbeka. Asalelaki bikangiseli ya bangombe mpo na kolamba mosuni na yango, akabolaki yango epai ya bato na ye mpe baliaki yango. Boye, atelemaki mpo na kolanda Eliya mpe akomaki kosalela ye.
