1 Kings 21
1 And it comes to pass after these things, a vineyard has been to Naboth the Jezreelite, that [is] in Jezreel, near the palace of Ahab king of Samaria,
Sima na mwa tango, likama moko ekweyelaki Naboti, moto ya Jizireyeli, likolo ya elanga na ye ya vino oyo ezalaki na Jizireyeli, pembeni ya ndako ya Akabi, mokonzi na Samari.
2 and Ahab speaks to Naboth, saying, “Give your vineyard to me, and it is for a garden of green herbs for me, for it [is] near by my house, and I give to you a better vineyard than it in its stead; if [this is] good in your eyes, I give to you its price [in] silver.”
Mokolo moko, Akabi alobaki na Naboti: — Pesa ngai elanga na yo ya vino mpo ete nakomisa yango elanga na ngai ya ndunda, pamba te ezali pene ya ndako na ngai; mpe ngai nakopesa yo elanga mosusu ya vino oyo eleki kitoko na esika ya elanga na yo; to soki olingi, nakopesa yo mosolo oyo ekokani na motuya na yango.
3 And Naboth says to Ahab, “Far be it from me, by YHWH, my giving the inheritance of my fathers to you”;
Kasi Naboti azongiselaki Akabi: — Na Kombo na Yawe, nakoki te kopesa yo libula oyo bakoko na ngai batikela ngai.
4 and Ahab comes to his house, sulky and angry, because of the word that Naboth the Jezreelite has spoken to him when he says, “I do not give the inheritance of my fathers to you,” and he lies down on his bed, and turns around his face, and has not eaten bread.
Akabi azongaki epai na ye na mawa mpe na kanda mpo na maloba oyo Naboti, moto ya Jizireyeli, ayebisaki ye: « Nakoki te kopesa yo libula oyo bakoko na ngai batikela ngai. » Alalaki na mbeto na ye, atalisaki elongi na ye na mir mpe aboyaki kolia.
5 And his wife Jezebel comes to him, and speaks to him, “Why [is] this [that] your spirit [is] sulky, and you are not eating bread?”
Mwasi na ye, Jezabeli, ayaki epai na ye mpe atunaki ye: — Mpo na nini ozali na mawa mpe oboyi kolia?
6 And he says to her, “Because I speak to Naboth the Jezreelite, and say to him, Give your vineyard to me for money, or if you desire, I give a vineyard to you in its stead; and he says, I do not give my vineyard to you.”
Akabi azongiselaki ye: — Ezali mpo ete tango nawuti epai ya Naboti ya Jizireyeli mpe nalobi na ye: « Tekela ngai elanga na yo ya vino; to soki olingi, nakopesa yo mosolo oyo ekokani na motuya na yango. » Kasi ye azongiseli ngai: « Nakoki te kopesa yo elanga na ngai ya vino. »
7 And his wife Jezebel says to him, “You now execute rule over Israel! Rise, eat bread, and let your heart be glad—I give the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite to you.”
Bongo mwasi na ye, Jezabeli, alobaki na ye: — Boni, ezali yo nde ozali mokonzi ya Isalaele to te? Lamuka! Lia mpe sepela! Nakopesa yo elanga ya vino ya Naboti, moto ya Jizireyeli.
8 And she writes letters in the name of Ahab, and seals with his seal, and sends the letters to the elderly and to the nobles who are in his city, those dwelling with Naboth,
Boye, Jezabeli akomaki mikanda na kombo ya Akabi, atiaki yango kashe ya mokonzi mpe atindaki yango epai ya bampaka mpe bankumu oyo bazalaki kovanda engumba moko na Naboti.
9 and she writes in the letters, saying, “Proclaim a fast, and cause Naboth to sit at the head of the people,
Tala makambo oyo akomaki na mikanda yango: « Bobongisa mokolo moko ya kokila bilei mpe bobengisa bato na mayangani epai wapi bokotia Naboti na esika ya liboso.
10 and cause two men—sons of worthlessness—to sit opposite him, and they testify of him, saying, You have blessed [[or cursed]] God and [the] king; and they have brought him out, and stoned him, and he dies.”
Bongo botia mpe liboso na ye bato ya kilikili mibale oyo bakokosela ye makambo na maloba oyo: ‹ Olakeli Nzambe mpe mokonzi mabe! › Na sima, bomema ye na libanda ya engumba mpe boboma ye na mabanga. »
11 And the men of his city, the elderly and the nobles who are dwelling in his city, do as Jezebel has sent to them, as written in the letters that she sent to them,
Boye, bampaka mpe bankumu oyo bazalaki kovanda engumba moko na Naboti batosaki mitindo oyo Jezabeli apesaki bango na nzela na mikanda.
12 they have proclaimed a fast, and caused Naboth to sit at the head of the people,
Babongisaki mokolo ya kokila bilei mpe bavandisaki Naboti na esika ya liboso kati na bato.
13 and two men—sons of worthlessness—come in, and sit opposite him, and the men of worthlessness testify of him, even Naboth, before the people, saying, “Naboth blessed [[or cursed]] God and [the] king”; and they take him out to the outside of the city, and stone him with stones, and he dies;
Bato mibale ya kilikili bayaki kovanda liboso na ye mpe bakomaki kokosela ye makambo na miso ya bato nyonso na maloba oyo: « Naboti alakeli Nzambe mpe mokonzi mabe! » Sima na yango, babimisaki ye na libanda ya engumba mpe babomaki ye na mabanga.
14 and they send to Jezebel, saying, “Naboth was stoned, and is dead.”
Bongo bampaka mpe bankumu batindaki maloba oyo epai ya Jezabeli: « Basili koboma Naboti na mabanga. »
15 And it comes to pass, at Jezebel’s hearing that Naboth has been stoned, and is dead, that Jezebel says to Ahab, “Rise, possess the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, that he refused to give to you for money, for Naboth is not alive but dead.”
Tango Jezabeli ayokaki ete babomi Naboti na mabanga, alobaki na Akabi: « Telema, kende kokamata elanga ya vino ya Naboti, moto ya Jizireyeli, elanga oyo aboyaki kotekela yo, pamba te Naboti azali lisusu na bomoi te, asili kokufa. »
16 And it comes to pass, at Ahab’s hearing that Naboth is dead, that Ahab rises to go down to the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, to possess it.
Tango kaka Akabi ayokaki ete Naboti, moto ya Jizireyeli, asili kokufa, atelemaki mpe akendeki kokamata elanga ya vino ya Naboti.
17 And the word of YHWH is to Elijah the Tishbite, saying,
Bongo Yawe alobaki na Eliya, moto ya Tishibe, maloba oyo:
18 “Rise, go down to meet Ahab king of Israel, who [is] in Samaria—behold, in the vineyard of Naboth, to where he has gone down to possess it,
« Kende kokutana na Akabi, mokonzi ya Isalaele, oyo azali kokonza wuta na Samari. Na ngonga oyo, azali kati na elanga ya vino ya Naboti epai wapi akendeki mpo na kokamata yango.
19 and you have spoken to him, saying, Thus said YHWH: Have you murdered, and also possessed? And you have spoken to him, saying, Thus said YHWH: In the place where the dogs licked the blood of Naboth, the dogs lick your blood, even yours.”
Okoyebisa ye makambo oyo: Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: ‹ Boni, ozali mobomi te mpe oyibi te? › Okobakisa lisusu: ‹ Tala makambo oyo Yawe alobi: Kaka na esika oyo bambwa elembolaki makila ya Naboti, kaka na esika yango mpe ekolembola makila na yo. › »
20 And Ahab says to Elijah, “Have you found me, O my enemy?” And he says, “I have found—because of your selling yourself to do evil in the eyes of YHWH;
Tango Akabi amonaki Eliya, alobaki: — Ah, monguna na ngai, omoni ngai kaka! Eliya azongisaki: — Solo, namoni yo; pamba te omitekaki yo moko mpo na kosala makambo mabe na miso ya Yawe.
21 behold, I am bringing calamity on you, and have taken away your posterity, and cut off from Ahab those sitting on the wall, and restrained, and left, in Israel,
Boye, tala makambo oyo Yawe alobi: « Nakotindela yo pasi ya makasi. Nakokombola bakitani na yo mpe nakolongola epai ya Akabi mwana mobali nyonso ya libota na yo: azala mowumbu to monsomi kati na Isalaele.
22 and given up your house like the house of Jeroboam son of Nebat, and like the house of Baasha son of Ahijah, for the provocation with which you have provoked [Me], and cause Israel to sin.
Nakokomisa ndako na yo lokola ndako ya Jeroboami, mwana mobali ya Nebati, mpe lokola ndako ya Baesha, mwana mobali ya Ayiya; pamba te opesi Ngai kanda mpe osali ete Isalaele asala masumu. »
23 And YHWH has also spoken of Jezebel, saying, The dogs eat Jezebel in the bulwark of Jezreel;
Tala lisusu makambo oyo Yawe alobi na tina na Jezabeli: « Bambwa ekolia Jezabeli pene ya mir ya Jizireyeli.
24 the dogs eat him who dies of Ahab in a city, and [the] bird of the heavens eats him who dies in a field;
Moto nyonso ya libota ya Akabi oyo akokufa kati na engumba, bambwa ekolia ye; mpe oyo nyonso akokufa na zamba, bandeke ya likolo ekotobola-tobola ye. »
25 surely there has been none like Ahab, who sold himself to do evil in the eyes of YHWH, whom his wife Jezebel has moved,
Solo, ezalaki na moto moko te oyo amitekaki na kosala mabe na miso ya Yawe lokola Akabi. Ezalaki mwasi na ye Jezabeli nde azalaki kotindika ye kosala mabe.
26 and he does very abominably to go after the idols, according to all that the Amorite did whom YHWH dispossessed from the presence of the sons of Israel.”
Asalaki makambo ya nkele koleka na kosambela banzambe ya bikeko ndenge bato ya Amori oyo Yawe abenganaki liboso ya Isalaele bazalaki kosala.
27 And it comes to pass, at Ahab’s hearing these words, that he tears his garments, and puts sackcloth on his flesh, and fasts, and lies in sackcloth, and goes gently.
Tango Akabi ayokaki makambo oyo, apasolaki bilamba na ye, alataki bilamba ya saki mpe akilaki bilei. Azalaki kolala na bilamba ya saki mpe azalaki kotambola malembe-malembe.
28 And the word of YHWH is to Elijah the Tishbite, saying,
Bongo Yawe alobaki lisusu na Eliya, moto ya Tishibe:
29 “Have you seen that Ahab has been humbled before Me? Because that he has been humbled before Me, I do not bring in the calamity in his days; I bring in the calamity on his house in the days of his son.”
« Omoni ndenge nini Akabi amikitisi liboso na Ngai? Lokola amikitisi liboso na ngai, nakoyeisa pasi te wana ye akozala nanu na bomoi; kasi nakotinda pasi yango na tango mwana na ye ya mobali akozala na bokonzi. »
