1 Kings 19
1 And Ahab told Jezebel all that Elijah had done, and withal how he had slain all the prophets with the sword.
Akabi ayebisaki Jezabeli makambo nyonso oyo Eliya asalaki mpe ndenge nini abomaki basakoli nyonso na mopanga.
2 Then Jezebel sent a messenger unto Elijah, saying, So let the gods do to me, and more also, if I make not thy life as the life of one of them by tomorrow about this time.
Boye Jezabeli atindaki ntoma epai ya Eliya mpo na koyebisa ye: — Tika ete banzambe bapesa ngai etumbu ya makasi koleka soki lobi, kaka na ngonga oyo, nakomisi bomoi na yo te ndenge okomisaki bomoi ya moko na moko kati na bango.
3 And when he saw that, he arose, and went for his life, and came to Beer-sheba, which belongeth to Judah, and left his servant there.
Eliya abangaki mpe akimaki mpo na kobikisa bomoi na ye. Tango akomaki na Beri-Sheba ya Yuda, atikaki kuna mosali na ye.
4 But he himself went a day’s journey into the wilderness, and came and sat down under a juniper tree: and he requested for himself that he might die; and said, It is enough; now, O LORD, take away my life; for I am not better than my fathers.
Sima na ye kotambola mokolo mobimba kati na esobe, akomaki na nzete moko ya moke, avandaki na se na yango mpe asengaki kufa na maloba oyo: — Yawe, nalembi! Zwa molimo na ngai mpo ete naleki bakoko na ngai te na malamu.
5 And he lay down and slept under a juniper tree; and, behold, an angel touched him, and said unto him, Arise and eat.
Bongo alalaki na se ya nzete yango mpe azwaki pongi. Mbala moko, anjelu moko asimbaki ye mpe alobaki na ye: — Lamuka mpe lia.
6 And he looked, and, behold, there was at his head a cake baken on the coals, and a cruse of water. And he did eat and drink, and laid him down again.
Atalaki mpe amonaki pene ya esika oyo atiaki moto, lipa batumba na mabanga ya moto mpe mbeki ya mayi. Aliaki, amelaki mpe alalaki lisusu.
7 And the angel of the LORD came again the second time, and touched him, and said, Arise and eat; because the journey is too great for thee.
Anjelu ya Yawe azongaki na mbala ya mibale, asimbaki ye lisusu mpe alobaki: — Lamuka mpe lia, pamba te mobembo ezali molayi mingi mpo na yo.
8 And he arose, and did eat and drink, and went in the strength of that meat forty days and forty nights unto Horeb the mount of God.
Boye alamukaki, aliaki mpe amelaki. Bongo na makasi oyo azwaki na nzela ya bilei, atambolaki mobembo ya mikolo tuku minei mpe ya babutu tuku minei kino akomaki na Orebi, ngomba ya Nzambe.
9 And he came thither unto a cave, and lodged there; and, behold, the word of the LORD came to him, and he said unto him, What doest thou here, Elijah?
Kuna, akotaki na lidusu ya mabanga mpe alekisaki butu. Yawe alobaki na ye: — Eliya, ozali kosala nini awa?
10 And he said, I have been very jealous for the LORD, the God of hosts; for the children of Israel have forsaken thy covenant, thrown down thine altars, and slain thy prophets with the sword: and I, even I only, am left; and they seek my life, to take it away.
Azongisaki: — Nazali na bolingo eleka ndelo mpo na Yawe Nzambe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, pamba te bana ya Isalaele babwaki boyokani na Yo, babuki bitumbelo na Yo mpe babomi basakoli na Yo na mopanga. Natikali kaka ngai moko na bomoi. Sik’oyo bazali lisusu koluka koboma ngai.
11 And he said, Go forth, and stand upon the mount before the LORD. And, behold, the LORD passed by, and a great and strong wind rent the mountains, and brake in pieces the rocks before the LORD; but the LORD was not in the wind: and after the wind an earthquake; but the LORD was not in the earthquake:
Yawe alobaki: — Bima mpe telema na ngomba liboso ya Yawe, pamba te Yawe alingi koleka. Boye mopepe moko ya makasi penza epepaki, ebukaki bangomba mpe epanzaki mabanga liboso ya Yawe. Nzokande Yawe azalaki kati na mopepe makasi te.
12 and after the earthquake a fire; but the LORD was not in the fire: and after the fire a still small voice.
Sima na mopepe makasi, mabele eninganaki; nzokande Yawe azalaki te kati na koningana ya mabele. Sima na koningana ya mabele, moto eyaki; nzokande Yawe azalaki te kati na moto wana. Mpe sima na moto, mopepe ya kimia penza eyaki.
13 And it was so, when Elijah heard it, that he wrapped his face in his mantle, and went out, and stood in the entering in of the cave. And, behold, there came a voice unto him, and said, What doest thou here, Elijah?
Tango kaka Eliya ayokaki yango, azipaki elongi na ye na songe ya kazaka na ye, abimaki mpe atelemaki na ekotelo ya lidusu ya mabanga. Mpe mongongo moko elobaki na ye lisusu: — Eliya, ozali kosala nini awa?
14 And he said, I have been very jealous for the LORD, the God of hosts; for the children of Israel have forsaken thy covenant, thrown down thine altars, and slain thy prophets with the sword; and I, even I only, am left; and they seek my life, to take it away.
Azongisaki: — Nazali na bolingo eleka ndelo mpo na Yawe Nzambe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, pamba te bana ya Isalaele, babwaki boyokani na Yo, babuki bitumbelo na Yo mpe babomi basakoli na Yo na mopanga. Natikali kaka ngai moko na bomoi. Sik’oyo bazali lisusu koluka koboma ngai.
15 And the LORD said unto him, Go return on thy way to the wilderness of Damascus: and when thou comest, thou shalt anoint Hazael to be king over Syria:
Yawe alobaki na ye: — Zonga na nzela oyo oyelaki mpe kende na esobe ya Damasi. Tango okokoma kuna, okopakola Azaeli mafuta mpo ete akoma mokonzi ya Siri.
16 and Jehu the son of Nimshi shalt thou anoint to be king over Israel: and Elisha the son of Shaphat of Abel-meholah shalt thou anoint to be prophet in thy room.
Okopakola lisusu Jewu, mwana mobali ya Nimishi, mafuta mpo ete akoma mokonzi ya Isalaele. Okopakola lisusu Elize, mwana mobali ya Shafati ya Abele-Meola, mafuta mpo ete akoma mosakoli na esika na yo.
17 And it shall come to pass, that him that escapeth from the sword of Hazael shall Jehu slay: and him that escapeth from the sword of Jehu shall Elisha slay;
Moto nyonso oyo akobika na mopanga ya Azaeli, Jewu akoboma ye; mpe moto nyonso oyo akobika na mopanga ya Jewu, Elize akoboma ye.
18 Yet will I leave [me] seven thousand in Israel, all the knees which have not bowed unto Baal, and every mouth which hath not kissed him.
Atako bongo, nabombi kati na Isalaele bato nkoto sambo, ba-oyo mabolongo na bango efukameli Bala te, mpe minoko na bango epesi ye beze te.
19 So he departed thence, and found Elisha, the son of Shaphat, who was plowing, with twelve yoke [of oxen] before him, and he with the twelfth: and Elijah passed over unto him, and cast his mantle upon him.
Eliya alongwaki wana mpe akutanaki na Elize, mwana mobali ya Shafati. Azalaki kobalola bilanga na bangombe tuku mibale na minei bakangisa mibale-mibale liboso na ye mpe ye moko azalaki kotambolisa bangombe mibale ya suka. Eliya apusanaki pembeni ya Elize mpe abwakelaki Elize kazaka na ye.
20 And he left the oxen, and ran after Elijah, and said, Let me, I pray thee, kiss my father and my mother, and then I will follow thee. And he said unto him, Go back again; for what have I done to thee?
Elize atikaki bangombe na ye, akimaki mbangu sima na Eliya mpe alobaki: — Tika ete nakende nanu kopesa tata mpe mama na ngai beze mpo na kokabwana na bango, bongo nakolanda yo. Eliya azongisaki: — Zonga na yo, nasali yo nini?
21 And he returned from following him, and took the yoke of oxen, and slew them, and boiled their flesh with the instruments of the oxen, and gave unto the people, and they did eat. Then he arose, and went after Elijah, and ministered unto him.
Boye Elize atikaki ye mpe azongaki. Azwaki bangombe na ye mibale oyo bakangisa, akataki yango kingo mpe abonzaki yango lokola mbeka. Asalelaki bikangiseli ya bangombe mpo na kolamba mosuni na yango, akabolaki yango epai ya bato na ye mpe baliaki yango. Boye, atelemaki mpo na kolanda Eliya mpe akomaki kosalela ye.
