1 Kings 20
1 And Ben-Hadad king of Aram has gathered all his force, and thirty-two kings [are] with him, and horse and chariot, and he goes up and lays siege against Samaria, and fights with it,
Beni-Adadi, mokonzi ya Siri, asangisaki mampinga na ye nyonso elongo na bakonzi tuku misato na mibale na bampunda mpe bashar; akendeki kozingela Samari mpe abundisaki yango.
2 and sends messengers to Ahab king of Israel, to the city,
Atindaki bantoma kati na engumba epai ya Akabi, mokonzi ya Isalaele
3 and says to him, “Thus said Ben-Hadad: Your silver and your gold are mine, and your wives and your sons—the best—are mine.”
na maloba oyo: — Tala maloba oyo Beni-Adadi alobi: « Palata mpe wolo na yo ezali ya ngai; basi na yo mpe bana mibali na yo, oyo baleki kitoko bazali ya ngai. »
4 And the king of Israel answers and says, “According to your word, my lord, O king: I [am] yours, and all that I have.”
Mokonzi ya Isalaele azongisaki: — Ezali ndenge kaka olobi, mokonzi, nkolo na ngai; ngai mpe nyonso oyo nazali na yango ezali ya yo.
5 And the messengers turn back and say, “Thus spoke Ben-Hadad, saying, Surely I sent to you, saying, Your silver, and your gold, and your wives, and your sons, you give to me;
Bantoma bazongaki lisusu mpe balobaki: — Tala maloba oyo Beni-Adadi alobi: « Napesaki yo mitindo ete opesa ngai palata na yo, wolo na yo, basi na yo mpe bana na yo ya mibali.
6 for if, at this time tomorrow, I send my servants to you, then they have searched your house, and the houses of your servants, and it has been [that] every desirable thing of your eyes they place in their hand, and have taken [them] away.”
Kasi yeba malamu ete lobi, na ngonga oyo, nakotinda basali na ngai mpo na kotala malamu-malamu ndako na yo mpe bandako ya basali na yo. Bakozwa nyonso ya motuya na miso na yo mpe bakomema yango. »
7 And the king of Israel calls to all [the] elderly of the land and says, “Please know and see that this [one] is seeking evil, for he sent to me for my wives, and for my sons, and for my silver, and for my gold, and I did not withhold from him.”
Mokonzi ya Isalaele abengisaki bampaka nyonso ya mboka mpe alobaki na bango: — Botala ndenge nini moto oyo azali koluka makambo! Tango asengaki ngai basi na ngai mpe bana na ngai ya mibali, wolo mpe palata na ngai, napimelaki ye yango te.
8 And all the elderly and all the people say to him, “Do not listen, nor consent.”
Bampaka mpe bato nyonso balobaki na ye: — Koyokela ye te mpe kondima bisengeli na ye te.
9 And he says to the messengers of Ben-Hadad, “Say to my lord the king, All that you sent to your servant for at the first I do, and this thing I am not able to do”; and the messengers go and take him back word.
Boye Akabi azongisaki epai ya bantoma ya Beni-Adadi: — Boloba na mokonzi, nkolo na ngai: « Mosali na yo akosala nyonso oyo osengaki liboso; kasi na oyo ya mibale, nakosala yango te. » Bazongaki mpe bamemaki eyano epai ya Beni-Adadi.
10 And Ben-Hadad sends to him and says, “Thus the gods do to me, and thus do they add, if the dust of Samaria suffice for handfuls for all the people who [are] at my feet.”
Beni-Adadi atindaki maloba mosusu epai ya Akabi: — Tika ete banzambe bapesa ngai etumbu ya makasi koleka soki etikali na Samari putulu oyo ekoki kotondisa ata loboko ya moko na moko ya bato oyo bazali kolanda ngai.
11 And the king of Israel answers and says, “Speak: Do not let him who is girding on boast himself as him who is loosing [his armor].”
Mokonzi ya Isalaele azongisaki: — Boloba na ye: « Moto oyo alati bibundeli asengeli komikumisa te lokola moto oyo alongoli bibundeli! »
12 And it comes to pass at the hearing of this word—and he is drinking, he and the kings, in the shelters—that he says to his servants, “Set yourselves”; and they set themselves against the city.
Beni-Adadi ayokaki sango yango tango ye elongo na bakonzi bazalaki komela na bandako ya kapo. Apesaki mitindo epai ya bato na ye: — Bomibongisa mpo na etumba. Boye, bamibongisaki mpo na kobundisa engumba.
13 And behold, a certain prophet has come near to Ahab king of Israel and says, “Thus said YHWH: Have you seen all this great multitude? Behold, I am giving it into your hand today, and you have known that I [am] YHWH.”
Na tango wana kaka, mosakoli moko ayaki epai ya Akabi, mokonzi ya Isalaele, mpe alobaki na ye: — Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: « Ozali komona mampinga monene oyo? Nakopesa yango lelo na maboko na yo, bongo okoyeba ete nazali Yawe. »
14 And Ahab says, “By whom?” And he says, “Thus said YHWH: By the young men of the heads of the provinces”; and he says, “Who directs the battle?” And he says, “You.”
Akabi atunaki: — Kasi nani akosala yango? Mosakoli azongisaki: — Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: « Bakonzi ya basoda ya bilenge, bakonzi ya basoda ya bamboka mike nde bakosala yango. » Akabi atunaki: — Nani akobanda etumba? Mosakoli azongisaki: — Ezali yo nde moto okobanda.
15 And he inspects the young men of the heads of the provinces, and they are two hundred and thirty-two, and after them he has mustered all the people, all the sons of Israel—seven thousand,
Akabi abengisaki bakonzi ya basoda ya bilenge, bakonzi ya basoda ya bamboka mike; bango nyonso bazalaki bato nkama mibale na tuku misato na mibale. Asangisaki lisusu bato ya Isalaele oyo batikalaki: bazalaki bango nyonso bato nkoto sambo.
16 and they go out at noon, and Ben-Hadad is drinking—drunk in the shelters, he and the kings, the thirty-two kings helping him.
Babimaki na midi na tango Beni-Adadi elongo na bakonzi tuku misato na mibale, oyo bazalaki na ngambo na ye, bazalaki kolangwa masanga na bandako na bango ya kapo.
17 And the young men of the heads of the provinces go out at the first, and Ben-Hadad sends, and they declare to him, saying, “Men have come out of Samaria.”
Bakonzi ya basoda ya bilenge babimaki bato ya liboso. Nzokande Beni-Adadi azwaki sango epai ya banongi na ye oyo balobaki na ye: — Bato bazali kopusana wuta na engumba Samari.
18 And he says, “If they have come out for peace, catch them alive; and if they have come out for battle, catch them alive.”
Beni-Adadi alobaki: — Soki bayei mpo na kimia, bakanga bango ya bomoi; kasi soki mpe bayei mpo na bitumba, kokanga bango ya bomoi.
19 And these have gone out of the city—the young men of the heads of the provinces—and the force that [is] after them,
Bakonzi ya basoda ya bilenge babimaki na engumba elongo na mampinga sima na bango.
20 and each strikes his man, and Aram flees, and Israel pursues them, and Ben-Hadad king of Aram escapes on a horse—and the horsemen;
Soda moko na moko abomaki monguna na ye. Boye bato ya Siri bakimaki, mpe bato ya Isalaele balandaki bango. Kasi Beni-Adadi, mokonzi ya Siri, akimaki na mpunda elongo na ndambo ya basoda na ye, oyo batambolaka na bashar.
21 and the king of Israel goes out, and strikes the horses, and the charioteers, and has struck among the Arameans a great striking.
Mokonzi ya Isalaele apusanaki, abebisaki bampunda elongo na bashar mpe alongaki bato ya Siri na elonga monene.
22 And the prophet comes near to the king of Israel and says to him, “Go, strengthen yourself, and know and see that which you do, for at the turn of the year the king of Aram is coming up against you.”
Sima na yango, mosakoli ayaki epai ya mokonzi ya Isalaele mpe alobaki: — Lendisa basoda na yo mpe tala nini okoki kosala, pamba te na mobu oyo ekoya, mokonzi ya Siri akoya kobundisa yo lisusu.
23 And the servants of the king of Aram said to him, “Their gods [are] gods of hills, therefore they were stronger than us; and yet, we fight with them in the plain—are we not stronger than they?
Na tango wana bakalaka ya mokonzi ya Siri bapesaki ye toli: « Banzambe na bango bazali banzambe ya bangomba. Yango wana balekaki biso na makasi, kasi soki tobundi na bango na bitando, tokoleka bango solo na makasi.
24 And this thing you do: turn aside each of the kings out of his place, and set captains in their stead;
Sala boye: longola bakonzi nyonso na bisika na bango mpe tia bakonzi mosusu ya basoda na bisika ya bato oyo ya liboso.
25 and you, number for yourself a force as the force that is fallen from you, and horse for horse, and chariot for chariot, and we fight with them in the plain; are we not stronger than they?” And he listens to their voice, and does so.
Osengeli mpe lisusu kobongisa mampinga lokola oyo owutaki kobungisa: mpunda mpo na mpunda, shar mpo na shar, mpo ete tokoka kobundisa Isalaele na etando. Solo, tokoleka bango na makasi. » Beni-Adadi ayokaki bango mpe asalaki bongo.
26 And it comes to pass at the turn of the year, that Ben-Hadad inspects the Arameans, and goes up to Aphek, to battle with Israel,
Na mobu oyo elandaki, Beni-Adadi asangisaki mampinga na ye ya Siri mpe amataki na Afeki mpo na kobundisa Isalaele.
27 and the sons of Israel have been inspected, and supported, and go to meet them, and the sons of Israel encamp before them, like two flocks of goats, and the Arameans have filled the land.
Akabi mpe na ngambo na ye, asangisaki bato ya Isalaele mpe apesaki bango bibundeli; boye babimaki mpo na kobundisa bato ya Siri. Bato ya Isalaele batongaki milako oyo ezalaki kotalana na bato ya Siri. Mampinga na bango ezalaki lokola bitonga mibale ya mike ya bantaba wana bato ya Siri batondaki na etando mobimba.
28 And a man of God comes near, and speaks to the king of Israel and says, “Thus said YHWH: Because that the Arameans have said, YHWH [is] God of [the] hills, but He [is] not God of [the] valleys—I have given the whole of this great multitude into your hand, and you have known that I [am] YHWH.”
Moto na Nzambe ayaki mpe alobaki na mokonzi ya Isalaele: — Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: « Lokola bato ya Siri bakanisi ete Ngai nazali nzambe ya bangomba, kasi ya etando te, nakokaba mampinga monene oyo na maboko na yo mpe okoyeba ete Ngai nazali Yawe. »
29 And they encamp opposite one another [for] seven days, and it comes to pass on the seventh day, that the battle draws near, and the sons of Israel strike one hundred thousand footmen of Aram in one day.
Mikolo sambo, milako ya mampinga nyonso mibale ezalaki etalana. Na mokolo ya sambo, etumba ebandaki mpe bato ya Isalaele babomaki basoda ya mpiko ya Siri nkoto nkama moko.
30 And those left flee to Aphek, into the city, and the wall falls on twenty-seven chief men who are left, and Ben-Hadad has fled, and comes into the city, into the innermost part.
Basoda ya mpiko ya Siri oyo batikalaki, bakimaki na Afeki epai wapi mir ekweyelaki bato nkoto tuku mibale na sambo. Beni-Adadi akimaki na engumba mpe abombamaki na shambre ya kati penza.
31 And his servants say to him, “Now behold, we have heard that the kings of the house of Israel—that they are kind kings; please let us put sackcloth on our loins and ropes on our heads, and we go out to the king of Israel; it may be he keeps you alive.”
Bakalaka na ye balobaki na ye: — Tala, toyokaki ete bakonzi ya Isalaele bazalaka malamu. Pesa nzela ete tokende epai ya mokonzi ya Isalaele, tolata bilamba ya saki na loketo na biso mpe basinga na mito na biso; tango mosusu bakoki kobikisa bomoi na yo.
32 And they gird sackcloth on their loins, and ropes [are] on their heads, and they come to the king of Israel, and say, “Your servant Ben-Hadad has said, Please let me live”; and he says, “Is he still alive? He [is] my brother.”
Boye balataki bango nyonso bilamba ya saki, bakangaki basinga na mito na bango mpe bakendeki epai ya mokonzi ya Isalaele. Balobaki na ye: — Mosali na yo Beni-Adadi abondeli yo ete oboma ye te. Akabi atunaki: — Boni, azali nanu na bomoi? Azali kaka ndeko na ngai.
33 And the men observe diligently, and hurry, and catch [the word] from him, and say, “Your brother Ben-Hadad”; and he says, “Go in, bring him”; and Ben-Hadad comes out to him, and he causes him to come up on the chariot.
Bantoma ya Beni-Adadi bazwaki eyano yango lokola elembo ya malamu, bakangamaki na maloba wana mpe bagangaki na esengo: — Beni-Adadi azali solo ndeko na yo. Akabi azongisaki: — Bokende kozwa ye. Beni-Adadi abimaki na esika oyo abombamaki mpe ayaki epai ya Akabi, bongo Akabi amatisaki ye na shar na ye.
34 And he says to him, “The cities that my father took from your father, I give back, and you make streets for yourself in Damascus, as my father did in Samaria; and I, with a covenant, send you away”; and he makes a covenant with him, and sends him away.
Beni-Adadi alobaki: — Bingumba nyonso oyo tata na ngai abotolaki tata na yo, nazongiseli yo yango; okotonga zando na yo na Damasi mpo na koteka biloko na yo ndenge kaka tata na ngai asalaki na Samari. Akabi azongisaki: — Nakotika yo kokende soki nasali boyokani elongo na yo. Akabi asalaki boyokani elongo na Beni-Adadi mpe atikaki ye kozonga epai na ye.
35 And a certain man of the sons of the prophets said to his neighbor by the word of YHWH, “Please strike me”; and the man refuses to strike him,
Na tango wana, moko kati na bana ya basakoli alobaki na moninga na ye, na etinda ya Yawe: — Nasengi na yo ete obeta ngai. Kasi moninga na ye aboyaki kobeta ye.
36 and he says to him, “Because that you have not listened to the voice of YHWH, behold, you are going from me, and the lion has struck you”; and he goes from him, and the lion finds him, and strikes him.
Bongo alobaki na ye: — Lokola oboyi kotosa Liloba na Yawe, tango kaka okotika ngai, nkosi ekoboma yo. Moninga na ye akendeki, akutanaki na nkosi, mpe ebomaki ye.
37 And he finds another man and says, “Please strike me”; and the man strikes him, striking and wounding,
Mwana wana ya basakoli akendeki kokutana na moto mosusu mpe asengaki na ye ete abeta ye. Moto wana abetaki ye makasi mpe azokisaki ye.
38 and the prophet goes and stands for the king on the way, and disguises himself with ashes on his eyes.
Mwana ya basakoli amibongolaki na elateli na ye, azipaki elongi na ye na nzela ya eteni ya elamba mpo ete bayeba ye te, mpe akendeki kotelema na nzela oyo mokonzi Akabi akolekela.
39 And it comes to pass—the king is passing by—that he has cried to the king and says, “Your servant went out into the midst of the battle, and behold, a man has turned aside and brings a man to me, and says, Keep this man; if he is at all missing, then your life has been for his life, or you weigh out a talent of silver;
Tango mokonzi azalaki koleka, mosakoli agangaki: — Mokonzi, wana nazalaki kati na bitumba, moto moko abimaki kati na mampinga mpe amemelaki ngai mokangami ya bitumba. Alobaki na ngai: « Batela moto oyo ete akima te! Soki akimi, okokufa na esika na ye to okofuta ngai palata nkoto misato. »
40 and it comes to pass, your servant is working here and there, and he is not!” And the king of Israel says to him, “Your judgment [is] right; you have determined [it].”
Wana mosali na yo azalaki kosala awa, kuna, mokangami yango akimaki. Bongo Akabi, mokonzi ya Isalaele, alobaki: — Etumbu na yo ekozala ndenge kaka olobi.
41 And he hurries and turns aside the ashes from off his eyes, and the king of Israel discerns him, that he [is] of the prophets,
Mbala moko, mosakoli alongolaki eteni ya elamba oyo ezipaki elongi na ye; mpe Akabi, mokonzi ya Isalaele, asosolaki ete moto yango azali moko kati na bana ya basakoli.
42 and he says to him, “Thus said YHWH: Because you have sent away the man I devoted, out of [your] hand, even your life has been for his life, and your people for his people”;
Mosakoli alobaki na mokonzi: — Tala maloba oyo Yawe alobi: « Lokola obikisi moto oyo Ngai nakatelaki etumbu ya kufa, yo nde moto okokufa na esika na ye; mpe bato na yo bakokufa na esika ya bato na ye. »
43 and the king of Israel goes to his house, sulky and angry, and comes to Samaria.
Mokonzi ya Isalaele azongaki epai na ye, na Samari, na mawa mpe na kanda.
