< 2 Kings 4 >

1 Now a wife from among the wives of the sons of the prophets cried out to Elisha, saying, "Your servant my husband is dead, and you know that your servant feared YHWH, but the creditor has come to take for himself my two children to be his slaves."
Mwasi moko kati na basi ya bayekoli ya basakoli abondelaki Elize: — Mosali na yo, mobali na ngai, akufa. Oyebi malamu ete azalaki kotosa Yawe. Kasi moto oyo adefisaki ye niongo ayei mpo na kozwa bana na ngai mibale ya mibali mpo ete bakoma bawumbu na ye.
2 Then Elisha said to her, "What shall I do for you? Tell me, what do you have in the house?" And she said, "Your servant has nothing in the house, except a small jar of oil."
Elize azongiselaki ye: — Ndenge nini nakoki kosunga yo? Yebisa ngai eloko oyo ozali na yango kati na ndako na yo. Azongisaki: — Mwasi mowumbu na yo azali na eloko moko te, longola kaka mwa mafuta.
3 Then he said, "Go, ask for containers from outside, from all your neighbors, empty containers.
Elize alobaki: — Kende kosenga na baninga na yo nyonso bambeki ya pamba, kosenga moke te.
4 Then go in and shut the door behind yourself and your sons and pour into all these containers, and you are to set each one aside when it is full."
Sima, zonga na ndako na yo, kanga ekuke sima na yo elongo na bana na yo ya mibali; sopa mafuta kati na mbeki moko na moko, mpe tia pembeni mbeki oyo etondi.
5 So she left him and shut the door behind herself and her sons; they kept bringing her containers, and she kept pouring.
Atikaki Elize mpe akangaki ekuke sima na ye elongo na bana na ye ya mibali. Bana na ye bazalaki kopesa ye bambeki, mpe azalaki kotondisa yango na mafuta.
6 Now it came to pass, when the vessels were full, that she said to her son, "Bring me another container." But he said to her, "There aren't any more." Then the oil stopped flowing.
Tango bambeki nyonso etondaki, alobaki na moko kati na bana na ye ya mibali: — Pesa ngai lisusu mbeki moko. Kasi mwana yango azongiselaki ye: — Bambeki nyonso esili. Kaka na tango yango, mafuta etikaki kobima.
7 Then she came and told the man of God, and he said, "Go, sell the oil and pay your debt, and you and your sons can live on the rest."
Mwasi yango akendeki koyebisa moto na Nzambe. Mpe moto na Nzambe alobaki na ye: — Kende, teka mafuta yango mpe futa niongo na yo; bongo, yo elongo na bana na yo ya mibali, bokobika na oyo ekotikala.
8 Now it happened one day that Elisha traveled to Shunem, where there was a prominent woman, who urged him to eat some food. so whenever he passed by, he would stop in there to eat some food.
Mokolo moko, Elize akendeki na Sunemi. Mpe kuna, mwasi moko ya bomengo atungisaki ye mpo na kosenga na ye ete andima kolia na ndako na ye. Boye, tango nyonso Elize azalaki kolekela na Sunami, azalaki kotelema na ndako ya mwasi yango mpo na kolia.
9 And she said to her husband, "Look now, I know that this is a holy man of God who often passes by us.
Mwasi yango alobaki na mobali na ye: « Nayebi ete moto oyo ayaka mbala mingi epai na biso azali mobulami ya Nzambe.
10 Please, let's make a little room on the wall, and let's set up a bed, a table, a chair, and a lamp for him there, so that whenever he comes to us, he can stay there."
Nabondeli yo, tika ete tobongisela ye shambre ya moke na likolo ya ndako mpe totia kati na yango mbeto, mesa, kiti mpe mwinda. Boye, tango nyonso akoya epai na biso, akoki kovanda kuna. »
11 Now it happened one day he came there, and he turned into the upper room and rested.
Mokolo moko, Elize ayaki na Sunami, amataki na shambre na ye mpe alalaki kuna.
12 And he said to Gehazi his servant, "Call this Shunammite." So he called for her and she stood before him.
Bongo alobaki na mosali na ye, Geazi: « Benga mwasi oyo ya Sunami. » Geazi abengaki mwasi ya Sunami, mpe mwasi yango ayaki kotelema liboso ya Elize.
13 And he said to him, "Say now to her, 'Look, you have gone to all this trouble for us. What can I do for you? Can I put in a good word for you to the king, or to the commander of the army?'" She answered, "I have a home among my own people."
Elize alobaki na Geazi: — Loba na ye: « Omitungisi mingi mpo na biso. Eloko nini tokoki sik’oyo kosalela yo? Tolobela yo epai ya mokonzi to epai ya mokonzi ya basoda? » Mwasi ya Sunami azongisaki: — Navandaka na kimia kati na bato na ngai.
14 So he said, "What then can I do for her?" And Gehazi replied, "Actually, she has no son, and her husband is old."
Elize atunaki mosali na ye, Geazi: — Eloko nini tokoki kosala mpo na ye? Geazi azongisaki: — Azali na mwana te, mpe mobali na ye azali mobange.
15 Then he said, "Call her." And when he had called her, she stood in the doorway.
Elize alobaki: — Benga ye! Geazi abengaki ye, mpe ayaki kotelema na ekuke.
16 And he said, "At this season, when the time comes around, you will be holding a son." And she said, "No, my lord, man of God, do not lie to your servant."
Elize alobaki: — Na mobu oyo ekoya, na eleko oyo, maboko na yo ekosimba mwana mobali. Mwasi ya Sunami agangaki: — Te, nkolo na ngai, moto na Nzambe, kopesa na ngai mwasi mosali na yo elikya ya lokuta te!
17 But the woman conceived, and bore a son at that season, when the time came around, just as Elisha had said to her.
Nzokande, mwasi ya Sunami akomaki na zemi. Mpe na mobu oyo elandaki, na eleko yango kaka, abotaki mwana mobali, ndenge kaka Elize alobaki na ye.
18 And the child grew and it happened one day that he went out to his father to the harvest workers.
Mwana akolaki. Mokolo moko, mwana akendeki epai ya tata na ye, oyo azalaki elongo na babuki mbuma.
19 And he said to his father, "My head, my head." And he said to his servant, "Carry him to his mother."
Alobaki na tata na ye: — Moto pasi! Moto pasi! Tata na ye alobaki na mosali moko: — Zongisa ye epai ya mama na ye!
20 And when he had taken him and brought him to his mother, he sat on her lap until noon, and died.
Mosali amemaki ye mpe akomisaki ye epai ya mama na ye. Mwana mobali avandaki na makolo ya mama na ye kino na midi mpe, na sima, akufaki.
21 Then she went up and put him on the bed of the man of God and shut the door behind him and left.
Mama na ye amataki na shambre ya mosakoli, alalisaki ye na mbeto ya moto na Nzambe, akangaki ekuke mpe abimaki.
22 Then she called to her husband and said, "Please send me one of the servants and one of the donkeys, that I may run to the man of God and then return."
Bongo abengaki mobali na ye mpe alobaki na ye: — Nabondeli yo, tindela ngai elenge moko kati na basali mpe ane moko ya mwasi, mpo ete nakende noki epai ya moto na Nzambe mpe nazonga mbala moko.
23 But he said, "Why would you want to see him today? It is not the new moon or Sabbath." And she said, "It's alright."
Mobali na ye atunaki: — Mpo na nini olingi kokende epai na ye lelo? Lelo ezali ebandeli ya sanza te! Ezali mpe mokolo ya Saba te! Azongisaki: — Komitungisa te! Nyonso ezali malamu.
24 Then she saddled a donkey, and said to her servant, "Lead on; do not slow down for me unless I tell you."
Mwasi ya Sunami abongisaki ane mpe alobaki na elenge mosali na ye: « Tokeyi! Tambolisa ane; kotelema na nzela te soki nalobi na yo te. »
25 So she went and came to the man of God at Mount Carmel. So it happened when the man of God saw her afar off, that he said to Gehazi his servant, "Look, there is the Shunammite.
Boye, akendeki mpe akomaki na ngomba Karimeli epai wapi moto na Nzambe azalaki kovanda. Tango Elize amonaki ye na mosika, alobaki na mosali na ye, Geazi: — Tala! Ezali mwasi ya Sunami!
26 Please run now to meet her and ask her, 'Is it well with you? Is it well with your husband? Is it well with the child?'" And she answered, "It is well."
Nabondeli yo, pota mbangu sik’oyo mpo na kokutana na ye, mpe tuna ye: « Boni, kimia ezali? Ozali malamu? Mobali na yo azali malamu? Mwana na yo azali malamu? » Azongisaki: — Nyonso ezali malamu.
27 But when she came to the man of God to the mountain, she grabbed hold of his feet. And Gehazi came near to push her away, but the man of God said, "Leave her alone, for she is in severe anguish, and YHWH has hidden it from me and has not told me."
Boye akobaki nzela na ye kino akomaki na ngomba, epai ya moto na Nzambe. Mpe amibwakaki na makolo na ye. Geazi apusanaki mpo na kolongola ye na makolo ya Elize, kasi moto na Nzambe alobaki: — Tika ye bongo! Azali na pasi makasi kati na motema na ye, kasi Yawe abombeli ngai yango mpe atalisi ngai te tina na yango.
28 Then she said, "Did I ask a son from my lord? Did I not say, 'Do not mislead me?'"
Mwasi ya Sunami alobaki: — Boni, nasengaki mwana epai ya nkolo na ngai? Te! Kutu, nalobaki na yo: « Kopesa ngai elikya ya lokuta te! »
29 Then he said to Gehazi, "Tuck your cloak into your belt, and take my staff in your hand, and go. If you meet anyone, do not greet him, and if anyone greets you, do not reply. And lay my staff on the face of the child."
Elize alobaki na Geazi: — Lata mokaba na yo, kamata nzete na ngai na loboko na yo mpe kende. Soki okutani na moto na nzela, kopesa ye mbote te. Mpe soki moto apesi yo mbote, kozongisa te. Okotia nzete na ngai na elongi ya mwana mobali.
30 But the mother of the child said, "As YHWH lives and as your soul lives, I will not leave you." So he arose and followed her.
Kasi mama ya mwana alobaki: — Na Kombo na Yawe mpe na kombo na yo, nakotika yo te. Boye Elize atelemaki mpe alandaki mwasi ya Sunami.
31 Now Gehazi went on ahead of them and placed the staff on the face of the child, but there was no sound or response. Therefore he came back to meet him and told him, saying, "The child did not wake up."
Geazi akendeki liboso na bango mpe atiaki nzete na elongi ya mwana mobali, kasi ata eloko moko te esalemaki, ezala mongongo to koningana. Geazi azongaki mpo na kokutana na Elize mpe alobaki na ye: — Mwana alamuki te.
32 When Elisha arrived at the house, look, the child was dead, lying on his bed.
Tango Elize akomaki na ndako, akutaki ebembe ya mwana mobali elali na mbeto na ye.
33 So he went in and shut the door on the two of them and prayed to YHWH.
Elize akotaki, amikangelaki na shambre elongo na mwana mobali, mpe asambelaki Yawe.
34 Then he got up and lay on the child, and put his mouth on his mouth, and his eyes on his eyes, and his hands on his hands, and he stretched himself upon him, and the body of the child grew warm.
Bongo Elize amataki na mbeto mpe alalelaki mwana mobali, atutisaki monoko na ye na monoko ya mwana, miso na ye na miso ya mwana, mpe maboko na ye na maboko ya mwana. Lokola amitandaki bongo na likolo ya mwana mobali, nzoto ya mwana mobali ekomaki moto.
35 Then he returned and walked in the house once back and forth, and went up and stretched himself upon him, and the child sneezed seven times and the child opened his eyes.
Elize alongwaki, atambolaki na bangambo nyonso ya shambre; bongo amataki lisusu na mbeto mpe amitandaki na likolo ya mwana. Mbala moko, mwana akosolaki mbala sambo mpe afungolaki miso.
36 Then he called to Gehazi and said, "Call this Shunammite." So he called her. When she had come in to him, he said, "Pick up your son."
Elize abengaki Geazi mpe alobaki na ye: — Benga mwasi ya Sunami! Geazi abengaki ye. Tango ayaki epai ya Elize, Elize alobaki: — Zwa mwana na yo!
37 Then she came in and fell at his feet and bowed herself to the ground. Then she picked up her son and left.
Mwasi ya Sunami apusanaki, akweyaki na makolo ya Elize mpe agumbamaki kino na se; bongo azwaki mwana na ye mpe abimaki.
38 Now Elisha came again to Gilgal, while there was a famine in the land. And the sons of the prophets were sitting before him, and he said to his servant, "Put on the large pot, and boil stew for the sons of the prophets."
Elize azongaki na Giligali. Nzokande etuka yango ezalaki kati na nzala makasi. Wana bayekoli ya basakoli bavandaki na mayangani elongo na Elize, alobaki na mosali na ye: « Tia nzungu ya monene na moto mpe lamba elubu mpo na basakoli oyo. »
39 Then one of them went out into the field to gather herbs and found a wild vine, and gathered as many of its gourds as his garment would hold, and came and cut them up into the pot of stew, for he was unaware what it was.
Moko kati na bango akendeki na bilanga mpo na kobuka ndunda, mpe amonaki nzete ya vino ya zamba. Abukaki na nzete yango ndambo ya bakolokente mpe atondisaki yango na elamba na ye. Tango azongaki, akataki yango mike-mike mpe atiaki yango kati na nzungu ya elubu; moto moko te ayebaki soki ezali nini.
40 So they poured out for the men to eat. Now it happened, as they were eating of the stew, that they cried out, and said, "Man of God, there is death in the pot." And they could not eat it.
Bakabolelaki bato elubu. Tango kaka babandaki kolia yango, bagangaki: — Moto na Nzambe, kufa ezali kati na nzungu oyo! Mpe bakokaki lisusu te kolia yango.
41 But he said, "Bring some flour." And he threw it into the pot and said, "Pour it out for the people, that they may eat." And there was no harm in the pot.
Elize alobaki: — Bomemela ngai farine! Atiaki farine kati na nzungu mpe alobaki: — Bokabolela yango bato mpo ete balia. Mpe kati na elubu oyo ezalaki kati na nzungu, ezalaki lisusu na eloko moko te ya mabe.
42 Now a man from Baal Shalishah came and brought the man of God bread of the first fruits, twenty loaves of barley, and fresh ears of grain in his sack. And he said, "Give to the people, that they may eat."
Moto moko awutaki na Bala-Shalisha, amemelaki moto na Nzambe mapa tuku mibale ya orje oyo ewutaki na bambuma ya liboso ya elanga, elongo na saki moko ya bambuma ya ble. Elize alobaki na mosali na ye: — Pesa yango na bato mpo ete balia!
43 But his servant said, "What, should I set this before a hundred men?" So he said, "Give them to the people so that they may eat, for thus says YHWH, 'They will eat, and will have some left over.'"
Mosali na ye atunaki: — Nakokoka ndenge nini kokabola mapa oyo na bato nkama moko? Elize alobaki lisusu: — Kabolela yango bato nyonso mpo ete balia, pamba te tala Liloba oyo Yawe alobi: « Bakolia, bakotonda mpe bakotika mosusu. »
44 So he set it before them, and they ate, and had some left over, according to the word of YHWH.
Boye mosali akabolelaki bango mapa yango. Baliaki mpe batikaki mosusu, kolanda Liloba na Yawe.
