2 Kings 7
1 And Elisha says, “Hear a word of YHWH! Thus said YHWH: About this time tomorrow, a measure of fine flour [is] at a shekel, and two measures of barley at a shekel, in the Gate of Samaria.”
Elize alobaki: — Boyoka Liloba na Yawe! Tala makambo oyo Yawe alobi: « Lobi, na tango oyo, na ekuke ya Samari, bakoteka bakilo zomi na mibale ya farine na motuya ya mbongo moko ya ebende ya palata, mpe bakilo tuku mibale ya orje na motuya kaka wana. »
2 And the captain whom the king has, by whose hand he has been supported, answers the man of God and says, “Behold, YHWH is making windows in the heavens—will this thing be?” And he says, “Behold, you are seeing it with your eyes, and you do not eat thereof.”
Mokonzi ya basoda, oyo mokonzi ya Isalaele azalaki kotiela motema alobaki na moto na Nzambe: — Tala, ata soki Yawe afungoli maninisa ya Lola, likambo ya boye ekoki penza kosalema? Elize azongisaki: — Okomona yango na miso na yo, kasi okolia yango te.
3 And four men have been leprous at the opening of the gate, and they say to one another, “Why are we sitting here until we have died?
Na ekuke ya engumba, ezalaki na bato minei na maba. Bazalaki kolobana bango na bango: « Mpo na nini totikala awa kino tokokufa?
4 If we have said, We go into the city, then the famine [is] in the city and we have died there; and if we have sat here, then we have died; and now, come and we go down to the camp of Aram; if they keep us alive, we live, and if they put us to death—we have died.”
Soki tolobi: ‹ Tokota na engumba, › nzala makasi ezali kuna, tokokufa. Soki mpe totikali awa, tokokufa kaka. Boye, tika ete tokende na molako ya bato ya Siri mpe tomipesa epai na bango. Soki bayambi biso, tobiki; kasi soki babomi biso, tokufi kaka. »
5 And they rise in the twilight, to go to the camp of Aram, and they come to the extremity of the camp of Aram, and behold, there is not a man there,
Na pokwa, batelemaki mpe bakendeki na molako ya bato ya Siri. Tango bakomaki na mondelo ya molako, bamonaki ata moto moko te,
6 seeing YHWH has caused the camp of Aram to hear a noise of chariot and a noise of horse—a noise of great force, and they say to one another, “Behold, the king of Israel has hired against us the kings of the Hittites, and the kings of Egypt, to come against us.”
pamba te Nkolo asalaki ete bato ya Siri bayoka lokito ya bashar, ya bampunda mpe ya mampinga minene ya basoda kino balobanaki bango na bango: « Tala, mokonzi ya Isalaele azwi mokonzi ya bato ya Iti mpe mokonzi ya bato ya Ejipito mpo na koya kobundisa biso. »
7 And they rise and flee in the twilight, and forsake their tents, and their horses, and their donkeys—the camp as it [is]—and flee for their life.
Boye batelemaki mpe bakimaki na pokwa, basundolaki bandako na bango ya kapo, bampunda na bango mpe ba-ane na bango. Batikaki molako ndenge ezalaki mpo na kobikisa bomoi na bango.
8 And these lepers come to the extremity of the camp, and come into one tent, and eat, and drink, and lift up silver, and gold, and garments from there, and go and hide; and they turn back and go into another tent, and lift up from there, and go and hide.
Bato na maba bakomaki na mondelo ya molako, bakotaki na ndako moko ya kapo, baliaki mpe bamelaki. Bongo bamemaki palata, wolo, bilamba, mpe bakendeki kobomba yango. Sima, bazongaki, bakotaki na ndako mosusu ya kapo, bazwaki kuna biloko mpe bakendeki lisusu kobomba yango.
9 And they say to one another, “We are not doing right this day; it [is] a day of tidings, and we are keeping silent; and we have waited until the morning light, then punishment has found us; and now, come and we go in and declare [it] to the house of the king.”
Bongo balobanaki bango na bango: « Tozali kosala malamu te: Mokolo ya lelo ezali mokolo ya sango malamu, mpe tozali kobomba sango yango mpo na biso moko! Soki tozeli kino lobi na tongo, tokozwa etumbu. Tokende sik’oyo kopesa sango na ndako ya mokonzi. »
10 And they come in, and call to the gatekeeper of the city, and declare for themselves, saying, “We have come to the camp of Aram, and behold, there is no man or sound of man there, but the bound horse, and the bound donkey, and tents as they [are].”
Boye bakendeki, babelelaki epai ya bakengeli bikuke ya engumba mpe bayebisaki bango: « Tokotaki na molako ya bato ya Siri, moto ata moko te azali kuna, toyoki ata mongongo ya moto te; etikali kaka bampunda mpe ba-ane bakanga, mpe bandako ya kapo basundola. »
11 And he calls the gatekeepers, and they declare [it] to the house of the king within.
Bakengeli ekuke ya engumba babengaki moto moko kati na engumba mpo na kokomisa sango na ndako ya mokonzi.
12 And the king rises by night and says to his servants, “Now let me declare to you that which the Arameans have done to us; they have known that we are famished, and they go out from the camp to be hidden in the field, saying, When they come out from the city, then we catch them alive, and we enter into the city.”
Mokonzi alamukaki na butu mpe alobaki na bakalaka na ye: — Tika ete nayebisa bino makambo oyo bato ya Siri basali biso. Bayebi solo ete tozali kokufa nzala, yango wana batiki milako na bango mpo na kokende kobombama na zamba. Balobani bango na bango: « Bakobima solo, mpe tokokanga bango ya bomoi, bongo tokokota na engumba. »
13 And one of his servants answers and says, “Then please let them take five of the horses that are left, that have been left in it—behold, they [are] as all the multitude of Israel who have been left in it; behold, they are as all the multitude of Israel who have been consumed—and we send and see.”
Moko kati na bakalaka na ye azongisaki: — Bongisa ndambo ya mibali mpo ete bazwa bampunda mitano kati na oyo etikali kati na engumba. Tokobungisa ata eloko moko te, pamba te suka na bango ekozala ndenge moko na oyo ya bana nyonso ya Isalaele oyo batikali na engumba. Boye totinda bango kaka mpo toyeba makambo oyo ewuti kosalema.
14 And they take two chariot-horses, and the king sends [them] after the camp of Aram, saying, “Go, and see.”
Boye baponaki bashar mibale elongo na bampunda na yango, mpe mokonzi atindaki yango mpo na koluka mampinga ya bato ya Siri. Apesaki mitindo na batambolisi na yango: « Bokende mpe botala! »
15 And they go after them to the Jordan, and behold, all the way is full of garments and vessels that the Arameans have cast away in their haste, and the messengers return and declare [it] to the king.
Balandaki bilembo ya makolo ya bato ya Siri kino na ebale Yordani, mpe bamonaki ete nzela nyonso etondaki na bilamba mpe bibundeli oyo basoda ya Siri babwakaki tango bakimaki na mbalakata. Bongo bantoma bazongaki mpe bapesaki sango epai ya mokonzi.
16 And the people go out and spoil the camp of Aram, and there is a measure of fine flour at a shekel, and two measures of barley at a shekel, according to the word of YHWH.
Bongo bato ya Samari babimaki mpe bazwaki na makasi biloko kati na molako ya bato ya Siri. Boye bakomaki koteka bakilo zomi ya farine na motuya ya mbongo moko ya ebende ya palata, mpe bakilo tuku mibale ya orje na motuya ya mbongo moko ya ebende ya palata, ndenge kaka Yawe alobaki.
17 And the king has appointed the captain, by whose hand he is supported, over the gate, and the people tread him down in the gate, and he dies, as the man of God spoke, which he spoke in the coming down of the king to him,
Mokonzi ya Isalaele aponaki mokonzi ya basoda, oyo mokonzi agumbamaka mpo na loboko na ye, mpo na kokengela ekuke ya engumba, kasi bato banyataki ye mpe akufaki kolanda makambo oyo moto na Nzambe asakolaki tango mokonzi ayaki na ndako na ye.
18 indeed, it comes to pass, according to the speaking of the man of God to the king, saying, “Two measures of barley at a shekel, and a measure of fine flour at a shekel are, at this time tomorrow, in the Gate of Samaria”;
Makambo oyo esalemaki ndenge moto na Nzambe alobaki na mokonzi: « Lobi, na tango oyo, bakoteka na ekuke ya Samari bakilo zomi ya farine na motuya ya mbongo moko ya ebende ya palata, mpe bakilo tuku mibale ya orje na motuya kaka wana. »
19 and the captain answers the man of God and says, “And behold, YHWH is making windows in the heavens—will this thing be?” And he says, “Behold, you are seeing it with your eyes, and you do not eat thereof”;
Mokonzi ya basoda, oyo mokonzi agumbamaka mpo na loboko na ye, alobaki na moto na Nzambe: — Tala, ata soki Yawe afungoli maninisa ya Lola, likambo ya boye ekoki penza kosalema? Mpe Elize, moto na Nzambe, azongisaki: — Okomona yango na miso, kasi okolia yango te.
20 and it comes to him so, and the people tread him down in the gate, and he dies.
Makambo yango esalemaki ndenge kaka elobamaki na tina na ye: bato banyataki ye na ekuke ya engumba, mpe akufaki.
