< 1 Kings 13 >

1 Look, there came a man of God out of Judah by the word of Jehovah to Beth El: and Jeroboam was standing by the altar to burn incense.
Moto moko na Nzambe alongwaki na Yuda mpe akendeki na Beteli, kolanda etinda na Yawe, wana Jeroboami atelemaki pembeni ya etumbelo mpo na kotumba ansa.
2 He cried against the altar by the word of Jehovah, and said, "Altar, altar, thus says Jehovah: 'Look, a son shall be born to the house of David, Josiah by name. On you he shall sacrifice the priests of the high places who burn incense on you, and they will burn men's bones on you.'"
Kolanda etinda na Yawe, moto na Nzambe agangaki makasi mpo na kolakela etumbelo mabe: « Etumbelo, etumbelo! Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: ‹ Mwana mobali moko akobotama na ndako ya Davidi, kombo na ye ekozala Joziasi. Akotumba na likolo na yo lokola mbeka banganga-nzambe ya bisambelo ya likolo ya bangomba, oyo batumbaka ansa na likolo na yo. Mpe na likolo na yo, etumbelo, bakotumba mikuwa ya bato! › »
3 He gave a sign the same day, saying, "This is the sign which Jehovah has spoken: Look, the altar will be split apart, and the ashes that are on it will be poured out."
Na mokolo wana kaka, moto na Nzambe apesaki elembo: — Tala elembo oyo elakisi ete ezali Yawe nde alobi: Etumbelo ekobukana mpe putulu oyo ezali likolo na yango ekopanzana.
4 It happened, when the king heard the saying of the man of God, which he cried against the altar in Bethel, that Jeroboam put out his hand from the altar, saying, "Seize him." His hand, which he put out against him, dried up, so that he could not draw it back again to himself.
Tango mokonzi Jeroboami ayokaki bilakeli mabe oyo moto na Nzambe alobaki mpo na etumbelo ya Beteli, asembolaki loboko na ye wuta na etumbelo mpe alobaki: — Bokanga ye! Kasi loboko oyo Jeroboami asembolaki epai ya moto na Nzambe ekawukaki, mpe akokaki lisusu te kozongisa yango epai na ye.
5 The altar also was split apart, and the ashes poured out from the altar, according to the sign which the man of God had given by the word of Jehovah.
Kaka na tango yango, etumbelo ebukanaki mpe putulu epanzanaki. Ezalaki penza elembo oyo moto na Nzambe apesaki kolanda etinda na Yawe.
6 The king answered the man of God, "Now plead for the favor of Jehovah your God, and pray for me, that my hand may be restored me again." The man of God entreated Jehovah, and the king's hand was restored him again, and became as it was before.
Mokonzi alobaki na moto na Nzambe: — Bondela Yawe, Nzambe na yo, mpe sambela mpo na ngai ete loboko na ngai ebonga. Moto na Nzambe abondelaki Yawe, mpe loboko ya mokonzi ebongaki, ezongaki ndenge ezalaki liboso.
7 The king said to the man of God, "Come home with me, and refresh yourself, and I will give you a reward."
Bongo mokonzi alobaki na moto na Nzambe: — Tokende na ndako mpo ete ozwa eloko ya kolia mpe napesa yo kado.
8 The man of God said to the king, "Even if you gave me half of your house, I would not go in with you, neither would I eat bread nor drink water in this place;
Kasi moto na Nzambe azongiselaki mokonzi: — Ata soki opesi ngai kati-kati ya bozwi na yo, nakokende epai na yo te, nakolia lipa te mpe nakomela ata litanga ya mayi te na esika oyo.
9 for so was it commanded me by the word of Jehovah, saying, 'You shall eat no bread, nor drink water, neither return by the way that you came.'"
Pamba te Yawe apesaki ngai mitindo oyo: « Osengeli te kolia lipa, komela mayi mpe kozongela na nzela oyo oyelaki. »
10 So he went another way, and did not return by the way that he came to Bethel.
Boye, akendeki na nzela mosusu mpe azongaki te na nzela oyo ayelaki na Beteli.
11 Now there lived an old prophet in Bethel; and one of his sons came and told him all the works that the man of God had done that day in Bethel. And they also told their father the words which he had spoken to the king.
Nzokande, mosakoli moko ya mobange azalaki kovanda na Beteli; bana na ye ya mibali bayaki koyebisa ye makambo nyonso oyo moto na Nzambe asalaki na Beteli, na mokolo wana, mpe oyo alobaki na mokonzi.
12 Their father said to them, "Which way did he go?" Now his sons showed him the way the man of God went, who came from Judah.
Tata na bango atunaki bango: — Azongi na nzela nini? Bana na ye ya mibali balakisaki ye nzela oyo moto na Nzambe, oyo awutaki na Yuda, azongelaki.
13 He said to his sons, "Saddle the donkey for me." So they saddled the donkey for him; and he rode on it.
Bongo alobaki na bana na ye ya mibali: — Bobongisela ngai ane. Sima na bana na ye kobongisela ye ane, amataki likolo na yango,
14 He went after the man of God, and found him sitting under an oak. He said to him, "Are you the man of God who came from Judah?" He said, "I am."
alandaki moto na Nzambe mpe akutaki ye avandi na se ya nzete ya Terebente. Atunaki ye: — Ozali solo moto na Nzambe oyo awuti na Yuda? Moto na Nzambe azongisaki: — Iyo, ezali nde ngai.
15 Then he said to him, "Come home with me, and eat bread."
Mosakoli alobaki na ye: — Yaka kolia mesa moko na ngai, na ndako na ngai.
16 He said, "I may not return with you, nor go in with you; neither will I eat bread nor drink water with you in this place.
Moto na Nzambe alobaki: — Nakoki te kozonga to kotambola nzela moko na yo; nakoki mpe te kolia lipa to komela mayi elongo na yo na esika oyo,
17 For it was said to me by the word of Jehovah, 'You shall eat no bread nor drink water there, nor turn again to go by the way that you came.'"
pamba te Yawe alobaki na ngai: « Osengeli te kolia lipa, komela mayi mpe kozongela na nzela oyo oyelaki. »
18 He said to him, "I also am a prophet as you are; and an angel spoke to me by the word of Jehovah, saying, 'Bring him back with you into your house, that he may eat bread and drink water.'" He lied to him.
Mosakoli ya mobange azongisaki: — Ngai mpe nazali mosakoli lokola yo. Anjelu moko ya Yawe alobaki na ngai kolanda etinda na Yawe: « Zonga na ye nzela moko na ndako na yo mpo ete alia lipa mpe amela mayi. » Nzokande azalaki kokosa ye.
19 So he went back with him, and ate bread in his house, and drank water.
Boye, moto na Nzambe azongaki nzela moko na ye na Beteli, aliaki mpe amelaki kati na ndako na ye.
20 It happened, as they sat at the table, that the word of Jehovah came to the prophet who brought him back;
Wana bavandaki na mesa, Yawe alobaki na mosakoli ya mobange, oyo azongisaki moto na Nzambe,
21 and he cried to the man of God who came from Judah, saying, "Thus says Jehovah, 'Because you have been disobedient to the mouth of Jehovah, and have not kept the commandment which Jehovah your God commanded you,
mpe agangelaki moto na Nzambe oyo awutaki na Yuda: — Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: « Mpo ete otosi te Liloba na Yawe mpe obateli te etinda oyo Yawe, Nzambe na yo, apesaki yo;
22 but came back, and have eaten bread and drunk water in the place of which he said to you, "Eat no bread, and drink no water"; your body shall not come to the tomb of your fathers.'"
mpo ete ozongi, olie lipa mpe omeli mayi na esika oyo napekisaki yo kolia to komela, bakokunda ebembe na yo te kati na kunda ya batata na yo. »
23 It happened, after he had eaten bread, and after he had drunk, that he saddled the donkey for the prophet whom he had brought back.
Tango moto na Nzambe asilisaki kolia mpe komela, mosakoli ya mobange abongisaki ane ya moto na Nzambe oyo azongisaki sima,
24 When he had gone, a lion met him by the way, and killed him. His body was cast in the way, and the donkey stood by it. The lion also stood by the body.
mpe moto na Nzambe azongelaki nzela na ye. Wana azalaki kokende, akutanaki na nkosi na nzela, mpe nkosi yango ebomaki ye. Ebembe na ye etikalaki na nzela, nkosi mpe ane etelemaki pembeni ya ebembe na ye.
25 Look, men passed by, and saw the body cast in the way, and the lion standing by the body; and they came and told it in the city where the old prophet lived.
Bato oyo bazalaki koleka bamonaki ebembe elali na nzela mpe nkosi etelemi pembeni na yango. Bakendeki kopesa sango kati na engumba epai wapi mosakoli ya mobange azalaki kovanda.
26 When the prophet who brought him back from the way heard of it, he said, "It is the man of God who was disobedient to the mouth of Jehovah. Therefore Jehovah has delivered him to the lion, which has mauled him and slain him, according to the word of Jehovah, which he spoke to him."
Tango mosakoli ya mobange, oyo azongisaki moto na Nzambe sima, na mobembo na ye, ayokaki sango yango, alobaki: — Ezali solo moto na Nzambe oyo atosaki te mitindo ya Yawe. Yawe akabi ye epai ya nkosi oyo epasoli ye mpe ebomi ye kolandisama na liloba oyo Yawe ayebisaki ye.
27 He spoke to his sons, saying, "Saddle the donkey for me." They saddled it.
Mosakoli ya mobange alobaki na bana na ye ya mibali: — Bobongisela ngai ane! Bana na ye ya mibali babongiselaki ye ane yango.
28 He went and found his body cast in the way, and the donkey and the lion standing by the body. The lion had not eaten the body, nor mauled the donkey.
Abimaki mpe akutaki ebembe elali na nzela, ane mpe nkosi etelemi pembeni ya ebembe. Nkosi eliaki te ezala ebembe to ane.
29 The prophet took up the body of the man of God, and laid it on the donkey, and brought it back. And he came to the city of the old prophet to mourn and to bury him.
Mosakoli ya mobange atombolaki ebembe ya moto na Nzambe, atiaki yango na likolo ya ane mpe amemaki yango na engumba na ye mpo na kosalela ye matanga mpe kokunda ye.
30 He laid his body in his own grave; and they mourned over him, saying, "Alas, my brother."
Atiaki ebembe kati na kunda na ye moko mpe ayembelaki ye nzembo oyo ya mawa: — Ah, mawa, ndeko na ngai!
31 It happened, after he had buried him, that he spoke to his sons, saying, "When I am dead, then bury me in the tomb in which the man of God is buried. Lay my bones beside his bones.
Sima na kokunda ye, alobaki na bana na ye ya mibali: — Tango nakokufa, bokokunda ngai kati na lilita epai wapi bakundi moto na Nzambe; bokotia mikuwa na ngai pembeni ya mikuwa na ye.
32 For the saying which he proclaimed by the word of Jehovah against the altar in Bethel, and against all the houses of the high places which are in the cities of Samaria, will surely happen."
Pamba te liloba oyo asakolaki kolanda etinda na Yawe mpo na kolakela mabe, etumbelo ya Beteli mpe bisambelo nyonso ya likolo ya bangomba kati na engumba Samari, ekokokisama solo.
33 After this thing Jeroboam did not return from his evil way, but again made priests of the high places from among all the people. He consecrated anyone who wanted to be a priest at the high places.
Atako bongo, Jeroboami atikaki te banzela na ye ya mabe, akobaki kaka kotia bato ya mboka na ye lokola banganga-nzambe ya bisambelo ya likolo ya bangomba; abulisaki lokola nganga-nzambe ya esambelo ya likolo ya ngomba moto nyonso oyo alingaki kokoma nganga-nzambe.
34 This thing became sin to the house of Jeroboam, even to cut it off, and to destroy it from off the surface of the earth.
Oyo nde ezalaki lisumu ya ndako ya Jeroboami, oyo ememaki kokweya mpe kobebisama ya bokonzi na ye kati na mokili.
