1 Kings 21

1 It happened after these things, that Naboth the Jezreelite had a vineyard, which was 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 Ahab spoke to Naboth, saying, "Give me your vineyard, that I may have it for a vegetable garden, because it is near to my house; and I will give you for it a better vineyard than it. Or, if it seems good to you, I will give you its worth in money."

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 Naboth said to Ahab, "May the LORD forbid me, that I should give 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 Ahab came into his house sullen and angry because of the word which Naboth the Jezreelite had spoken to him; for he had said, "I will not give you the inheritance of my fathers." He laid himself down on his bed, and turned away his face, and would eat no 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 But Jezebel his wife came to him, and said to him, "Why is your spirit so sad, that you eat no bread?"

Mwasi na ye, Jezabeli, ayaki epai na ye mpe atunaki ye: — Mpo na nini ozali na mawa mpe oboyi kolia?

6 He said to her, "Because I spoke to Naboth the Jezreelite, and said to him, 'Give me your vineyard for money; or else, if it pleases you, I will give you another vineyard for it.' He answered, 'I will not give you my vineyard.'"

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 Jezebel his wife said to him, "Do you now govern the kingdom of Israel? Arise, and eat bread, and let your heart be merry. I will give you the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite."

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 So she wrote letters in Ahab's name, and sealed them with his seal, and sent the letters to the elders and to the nobles who were in his city, who lived 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 She wrote in the letters, saying, "Proclaim a fast, and set Naboth on high among 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 Set two men, base fellows, before him, and let them testify against him, saying, 'You cursed God and the king.' Then carry him out, and stone him to death."

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 The men of his city, even the elders and the nobles who lived in his city, did as Jezebel had sent to them, according as it was written in the letters which she had 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 proclaimed a fast, and set Naboth on high among the people.

Babongisaki mokolo ya kokila bilei mpe bavandisaki Naboti na esika ya liboso kati na bato.

13 The two men, the base fellows, came in and sat before him. The base fellows testified against him, even against Naboth, in the presence of the people, saying, "Naboth cursed God and the king." Then they carried him out of the city, and stoned him to death with stones.

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 Then they sent to Jezebel, saying, "Naboth has been stoned, and is dead."

Bongo bampaka mpe bankumu batindaki maloba oyo epai ya Jezabeli: « Basili koboma Naboti na mabanga. »

15 It happened, when Jezebel heard that Naboth was stoned, and was dead, that Jezebel said to Ahab, "Arise, take possession of the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, which he refused to give 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 It happened, when Ahab heard that Naboth was dead, that Ahab rose up to go down to the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, to take possession of it.

Tango kaka Akabi ayokaki ete Naboti, moto ya Jizireyeli, asili kokufa, atelemaki mpe akendeki kokamata elanga ya vino ya Naboti.

17 The word of the LORD came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying,

Bongo Yawe alobaki na Eliya, moto ya Tishibe, maloba oyo:

18 "Arise, go down to meet Ahab king of Israel, who dwells in Samaria. Look, he is in the vineyard of Naboth, where he has gone down to take possession of 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 You shall speak to him, saying, 'Thus says the LORD, "Have you killed and also taken possession?"' You shall speak to him, saying, 'Thus says the LORD, "In the place where dogs licked the blood of Naboth, dogs will 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 said to Elijah, "Have you found me, my enemy?" And he answered, "I have found you, because you have sold yourself to do that which is evil in the sight of the LORD, to provoke him to anger.

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 Thus says the LORD, 'Look, I will bring disaster on you, and will utterly sweep you away and will cut off from Ahab everyone, slave or free 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 I will make your house like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and like the house of Baasha the son of Ahijah for the provocation with which you have provoked me to anger, and have made 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 The LORD also spoke of Jezebel, saying, "The dogs shall eat Jezebel in the district of Jezreel.

Tala lisusu makambo oyo Yawe alobi na tina na Jezabeli: « Bambwa ekolia Jezabeli pene ya mir ya Jizireyeli.

24 The dogs will eat he who dies of Ahab in the city; and the birds of the sky will eat he who dies in the 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 But there was none like Ahab, who sold himself to do that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, whom Jezebel his wife stirred up.

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 He did very abominably in following idols, according to all that the Amorites did, whom the LORD cast out before the children 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 It happened, when Ahab heard those words, that he tore his clothes, and put sackcloth on his flesh, and fasted, and lay in sackcloth, and went softly.

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 The word of the LORD came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying,

Bongo Yawe alobaki lisusu na Eliya, moto ya Tishibe:

29 "See how Ahab humbles himself before me? Because he humbles himself before me, I will not bring the disaster in his days; but in his son's days will I bring the disaster on his house."

« 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. »
