< 2 Kings 19 >
1 And it comes to pass, at King Hezekiah’s hearing, that he tears his garments, and covers himself with sackcloth, and enters the house of YHWH,
Tango mokonzi Ezekiasi ayokaki bongo, apasolaki bilamba na ye, alataki basaki mpe akotaki na Tempelo ya Yawe.
2 and sends Eliakim, who [is] over the house, and Shebna the scribe, and the elderly of the priests, covering themselves with sackcloth, to Isaiah the prophet, son of Amoz,
Atindaki epai ya mosakoli Ezayi, mwana mobali ya Amotsi, Eliakimi, mobateli biloko ya ndako ya mokonzi; Shebina, mokomi mikanda, mpe Banganga-Nzambe ya mikolo; bango nyonso balata bilamba ya basaki.
3 and they say to him, “Thus said Hezekiah: This day [is] a day of distress, and rebuke, and despising; for sons have come to the birth, and there is not power to bring forth.
Balobaki na ye: — Tala makambo oyo Ezekiasi alobi: « Mokolo ya lelo ezali mokolo ya pasi, mokolo ya etumbu mpe mokolo ya soni, pamba te tokomi lokola mwasi oyo azali na pasi ya kobota kasi azangi makasi ya kobimisa mwana.
4 It may be your God YHWH hears all the words of the chief of the butlers with which the king of Asshur his lord has sent him to reproach the living God, and has decided concerning the words that your God YHWH has heard, and you have lifted up prayer for the remnant that is found.”
Tango mosusu Yawe, Nzambe na yo, akoyoka maloba nyonso ya mokonzi ya basoda oyo bakengelaka mokonzi, oyo nkolo na ye, mokonzi ya Asiri, atindaki mpo na kosambwisa Nzambe na bomoi; mpe tango mosusu akopesa ye etumbu mpo na maloba oyo Yawe, Nzambe na yo, ayokaki. Boye, sambela mpo na ndambo ya bato oyo bazali nanu na bomoi. »
5 And the servants of King Hezekiah come to Isaiah,
Tango bakalaka ya mokonzi Ezekiasi bakomaki epai ya Ezayi,
6 and Isaiah says to them, “Thus you say to your lord, Thus said YHWH: Do not be afraid because of the words that you have heard, with which the servants of the king of Asshur have reviled Me.
Ezayi alobaki na bango: — Boloba na nkolo na bino: « Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: ‹ Kobanga te mpo na makambo oyo oyoki, maloba oyo basali ya mokonzi ya Asiri bazali koloba mpo na kosambwisa Ngai.
7 Behold, I am giving a spirit in him, and he has heard a report, and has turned back to his land, and I have caused him to fall by the sword in his land.”
Tala, nakotia molimo moko kati na ye mpo ete, tango akoyoka sango ya makambo oyo ezali koleka na mboka na ye, azonga na mokili na ye; mpe ekozala kuna, na mokili na ye, nde nakobomisa ye na mopanga. › »
8 And the chief of the butlers turns back and finds the king of Asshur fighting against Libnah, for he has heard that he has journeyed from Lachish.
Tango mokonzi ya basoda oyo bakengelaka mokonzi ya Asiri ayokaki ete mokonzi na ye alongwe na engumba Lakishi, azongaki mpe akutaki mokonzi na ye azali kobundisa engumba Libina.
9 And he hears concerning Tirhakah king of Cush, saying, “Behold, he has come out to fight with you”; and he turns and sends messengers to Hezekiah, saying,
Sima na Senakeribe koyoka sango na tina na Tiraka, mokonzi ya Kushi, ete azali koya kobundisa ye, atindaki bantoma epai ya Ezekiasi na maloba oyo:
10 “Thus you speak to Hezekiah king of Judah, saying, Do not let your God in whom you are trusting lift you up, saying, Jerusalem is not given into the hand of the king of Asshur.
« Boloba na Ezekiasi, mokonzi ya Yuda: Kotika te ete Nzambe na yo, oyo otielaka motema akosa yo na maloba oyo: ‹ Yelusalemi ekokweya te na maboko ya mokonzi ya Asiri! ›
11 Behold, you have heard that which the kings of Asshur have done to all the lands—to devote them; and are you delivered?
Oyokaki makambo oyo bakonzi ya Asiri basalaki bikolo nyonso mpe ndenge nini babebisaki yango nye; okanisi ete yo nde okobika?
12 Did the gods of the nations deliver them whom my fathers destroyed—Gozan, and Haran, and Rezeph, and the sons of Eden, who [are] in Thelassar?
Tango batata na ngai babebisaki Gozani, Arani, Retsefi mpe bato ya Edeni oyo bazalaki kovanda kati na Telasari, boni, banzambe ya bikolo yango bakangolaki yango?
13 Where [is] the king of Hamath, and the king of Arpad, and the king of the city of Sepharvaim, Hena, and Ivvah?”
Wapi mokonzi ya Amati, ya Aripadi, ya Layiri, ya engumba Sefarivayimi, ya Ena mpe ya Iva? »
14 And Hezekiah takes the letters out of the hand of the messengers and reads them, and goes up to the house of YHWH, and Hezekiah spreads it before YHWH.
Sima na Ezekiasi kozwa mokanda kowuta na maboko ya bantoma, atangaki yango, akendeki na Tempelo ya Yawe mpe afungolaki mokanda yango liboso ya Yawe.
15 And Hezekiah prays before YHWH and says, “O YHWH, God of Israel, inhabiting the cherubim, You [are] God Himself—You alone—to all the kingdoms of the earth: You have made the heavens and the earth.
Mpe Ezekiasi asambelaki Yawe: « Oh Yawe, Nzambe ya Isalaele, Yo oyo ovandi likolo ya basheribe, ozali Nzambe kaka moko na likolo ya mikili nyonso ya mabele, Yo nde osala Likolo mpe mabele.
16 Incline, O YHWH, Your ear, and hear; open, O YHWH, Your eyes, and see; and hear the words of Sennacherib with which he has sent him to reproach the living God.
Oh Yawe, pesa litoyi mpe yoka! Yawe, fungola miso mpe mona! Yoka maloba oyo Senakeribe atindi mpo na kosambwisa Nzambe na bomoi.
17 Truly, O YHWH, kings of Asshur have laid waste the nations and their land,
Oh Yawe, ezali ya solo ete bakonzi ya Asiri babebisaki bikolo oyo mpe mikili na bango,
18 and have put their gods into fire, for they [are] no gods, but work of the hands of man, wood and stone, and destroy them.
bazikisaki banzambe na bango na moto, pamba te banzambe yango ezalaki Nzambe te kasi banzete to mabanga ya pamba oyo esalemi na maboko ya bato.
19 And now, O our God YHWH, please save us out of his hand, and all kingdoms of the earth know that You [are] YHWH God—You alone.”
Sik’oyo, oh Yawe, Nzambe na biso, bikisa biso na maboko na ye mpo ete mikili nyonso ya mabele eyeba solo ete Yo moko kaka, Yawe, nde ozali Nzambe! »
20 And Isaiah son of Amoz sends to Hezekiah, saying, “Thus said YHWH, God of Israel: That which you have prayed to Me concerning Sennacherib king of Asshur I have heard;
Ezayi, mwana mobali ya Amotsi, atindelaki Ezekiasi maloba oyo: « Tala liloba oyo Yawe, Nzambe ya Isalaele, alobi: Nayoki losambo na yo na tina na Senakeribe, mokonzi ya Asiri.
21 this [is] the word that YHWH spoke concerning him: Trampled on you—laughed at you Has the virgin daughter of Zion; Shaken the head behind you Has the daughter of Jerusalem!
Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi mpo na kotelemela ye: ‹ Siona, mboka kitoko, ezali kotiola yo mpe koseka yo; Yelusalemi, mboka kitoko, ezali koningisa moto mpo na kotiola yo.
22 Whom have you reproached and reviled? And against whom lifted up a voice? Indeed, you lift up your eyes on high—Against the Holy One of Israel!
Nani oyo ofingaki mpe otiolaki? Nani oyo omatiselaki mongongo mpe otalaki na miso ya lolendo? Ngai, Mosantu ya Isalaele!
23 By the hand of your messengers You have reproached the Lord, and say, In the multitude of my chariots I have come up to a high place of mountains—The sides of Lebanon, And I cut down the height of its cedars, The choice of its firs, And I enter the lodging of its extremity, The forest of its Carmel.
Na nzela ya bantoma na yo, ofingaki Nkolo mpe olobaki: ‘Na lisungi ya ebele ya bashar na ngai, namataki kino na basonge ya bangomba, na basonge oyo eleki likolo kati na Libani, nakweyisaki banzete na yango ya sedele oyo eleki milayi, banzete na yango ya sipele oyo eleki kitoko, mpe nakomaki kino na songe na yango ya suka, na zamba na yango oyo eleki kitoko,
24 I have dug, and drunk strange waters, And I dry up with the sole of my steps All floods of a bulwark.
natimolaki mabulu ya mayi kati na mikili ya bapaya mpe namelaki mayi kuna. Na matambe ya makolo na ngai, nakawusaki miluka nyonso ya Ejipito.’
25 Have you not heard from afar [that] I made it, From days of old that I formed it? Now I have brought it in, And it becomes a desolation, Ruinous heaps [are] fortified cities,
Oyoka nanu yango te? Nasalaki mabongisi ya makambo oyo wuta kala, nabongisaki yango wuta na mikolo oyo eleka kala; sik’oyo nde nakokisi yango; esengeli na yo kokomisa bingumba ya makasi mipiku ya mabanga.
26 And their inhabitants [are] feeble-handed, They were broken down, and are dried up, They have been the herb of the field, And the greenness of the tender grass, Grass of the roofs, And blasted grain—before it has risen up!
Bato na yango bazangi makasi, balengi na somo mpe bakomi na soni, bakomi lokola matiti ya bilanga, lokola matiti ya langi ya mayi ya pondu, lokola matiti oyo ebotaka na mitondo ya bandako, ekawuka liboso ete ekola.
27 And your sitting down, and your going out, And your coming in, I have known, And your anger toward Me;
Nayebi esika nini ozalaka, tango nini obimaka, tango nini ozongaka, mpe tango nini otombokelaka Ngai.
28 Because of your anger toward Me, And your noise—it came up into My ears, I have put My hook in your nose, And My bridle in your lips, And have caused you to turn back In the way in which you came.
Lokola otombokelaka Ngai, mpe lofundu na yo ekomi kino na matoyi na Ngai, nakotia lopete na Ngai na zolo na yo, nakokanga yo singa na bibebu ndenge bakangaka mpunda monoko, mpe nakozongisa yo na nzela oyo oyelaki. ›
29 And this [is] the sign to you, Food of the year [is] the spontaneous growth, And in the second year the self-produced, And in the third year you sow, and reap, And plant vineyards, and eat their fruits.
Oh Ezekiasi, tala oyo ekozala elembo mpo na yo: Na mobu oyo, bokolia biloko oyo ekobima na nkona oyo ekweyaki na mabele; na mobu oyo ekolanda, bokolia biloko oyo ebotaka yango moko. Kasi na mobu ya misato, bokolona mpe bokobuka bambuma, bokolona banzete ya vino, mpe bokolia bambuma na yango.
30 And it has continued—The escaped of the house of Judah That has been left—to take root beneath, And has made fruit upward.
Bato ya Yuda oyo bakobika, oyo bakotikala, bakozala lisusu lokola nzete oyo ekotisi misisa na yango ya sika kati na mabele mpe eboti bambuma.
31 For a remnant goes out from Jerusalem, And an escape from Mount Zion; The zeal of YHWH [of Hosts] does this.
Pamba te, na Yelusalemi, ndambo ya bato bakotikala; mpe na Siona, mwa ndambo bakobika. Bolingo makasi ya Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, nde ekokokisa yango.
32 Therefore, thus said YHWH, Concerning the king of Asshur: He does not come into this city, Nor does he shoot an arrow there, Nor does he come before it with shield, Nor does he pour out a mound against it.
Yango wana, tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi na tina na mokonzi ya Asiri: ‹ Akokota na engumba oyo te, akobeta kuna ata mbanzi moko te, akobundisa yango na banguba te mpe akomatisa ata mabele te liboso na yango mpo na komibomba;
33 In the way that he comes in—In it he turns back, And to this city he does not come in, A declaration of YHWH—
akozongela na nzela oyo ayelaki mpe akokota na engumba oyo te, elobi Yawe.
34 And I have covered over this city, To save it for My own sake, And for the sake of My servant David.”
Nakobatela engumba oyo mpe nakobikisa yango, mpo na lokumu ya Kombo na Ngai mpe mpo na lokumu ya Davidi, mosali na Ngai. › »
35 And it comes to pass, in that night, that a messenger of YHWH goes out, and strikes one hundred eighty-five thousand in the camp of Asshur, and they rise early in the morning, and behold, all of them [are] dead corpses.
Na butu wana, anjelu na Yawe abimaki mpe abomaki bato nkoto nkama moko na tuku mwambe na mitano kati na molako ya bato ya Asiri. Tango bato balamukaki na tongo ya mokolo oyo elandaki, bakutaki kaka bibembe.
36 And Sennacherib king of Asshur journeys, and goes, and turns back, and dwells in Nineveh;
Boye Senakeribe, mokonzi ya Asiri, alongolaki molako, azongaki na Ninive mpe akomaki kovanda kuna.
37 and it comes to pass, he is bowing himself in the house of his god Nisroch, and [his sons] Adramelech and Sharezar have struck him with the sword, and they have escaped to the land of Ararat, and his son Esar-Haddon reigns in his stead.
Mokolo moko, wana azalaki kogumbamela nzambe na ye, Nisiroki, kati na tempelo ya nzambe yango, bana na ye ya mibali, Adrameleki mpe Saretseri, babomaki ye na mopanga mpe bakimaki na Ararati. Bongo mwana na ye ya mobali, Esari-Adoni, akitanaki na ye na bokonzi.
