1 Kings 13
1 And lo! a man of God, came in out of Judah, by the word of Yahweh, unto Bethel, —as Jeroboam was standing by the altar, to make a perfume.
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 And he made proclamation against the altar, by the word of Yahweh, and said, O altar! altar! Thus, saith Yahweh, —Lo! a son to be born unto the house of David, Josiah his name, who shall sacrifice upon thee the priests of the high-places, who are making a perfume upon thee, and, human bones, shall be burned upon thee;
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 and he shall give, on that day, a sign, saying, This, is the sign of which Yahweh hath spoken, —Lo! the altar, is to be rent, and the ashes that are upon thee shall 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 And it came to pass, when the king heard the word of the man of God which he proclaimed against the altar in Bethel, Jeroboam thrust forth his hand, from off the altar, saying—Lay hold of him! and his hand which he had thrust forth against him was dried up, that he could not draw it back to him.
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 Moreover, the altar, was rent, and the ashes poured out from the altar, —according to the sign which the man of God had given, by the word of Yahweh.
Kaka na tango yango, etumbelo ebukanaki mpe putulu epanzanaki. Ezalaki penza elembo oyo moto na Nzambe apesaki kolanda etinda na Yawe.
6 Then responded the king and said unto the man of God—Appease, I pray thee, the face of Yahweh thy God, and pray for me, that my hand may be restored unto me. So the man of God appeased the face of Yahweh, and the hand of the king was restored unto him, and became as aforetime.
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 Then spake the king unto the man of God, Come home with me, and refresh thyself, —and let me give thee a present.
Bongo mokonzi alobaki na moto na Nzambe: — Tokende na ndako mpo ete ozwa eloko ya kolia mpe napesa yo kado.
8 But the man of God said unto the king—If thou wouldst give me the half of thy house, I would not go in with thee, —neither would I eat bread or 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, he charged me, by the word of Yahweh, saying, Thou shalt not eat bread, nor shalt thou drink water, —neither shalt thou come back by the way thou wentest.
Pamba te Yawe apesaki ngai mitindo oyo: « Osengeli te kolia lipa, komela mayi mpe kozongela na nzela oyo oyelaki. »
10 So he departed another way, —and went not back by the way by which he came unto Bethel.
Boye, akendeki na nzela mosusu mpe azongaki te na nzela oyo ayelaki na Beteli.
11 But, a certain aged prophet, was dwelling in Bethel, —whose sons came in and related to him all the deeds which the man of God had done that day in Bethel—and the words which he had spoken unto the king, and they related them to their father.
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 And their father said unto them, Which way then went he? Now his sons had seen the way which the man of God went who had come in out of 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 So he said unto his sons, Saddle for me, the ass. And they saddled for him the ass, and he rode thereon;
Bongo alobaki na bana na ye ya mibali: — Bobongisela ngai ane. Sima na bana na ye kobongisela ye ane, amataki likolo na yango,
14 and went after the man of God, and found him, sitting under an oak. And he said unto him—Art, thou, the man of God who came in out of Judah? And 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 said he unto him, Come home with me, —and eat bread.
Mosakoli alobaki na ye: — Yaka kolia mesa moko na ngai, na ndako na ngai.
16 And he said—I may not return with thee, nor go in with thee, —neither will I eat bread or drink water with thee, 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 there came a message unto me by the word of Yahweh, Thou shalt neither eat bread, nor drink water there, —thou shalt not turn back to come by the way by which thou wentest.
pamba te Yawe alobaki na ngai: « Osengeli te kolia lipa, komela mayi mpe kozongela na nzela oyo oyelaki. »
18 And he said to him-I also, am a prophet, like unto thee, and, a messenger, hath spoken unto me, by the word of Yahweh, saying—Bring him back with thee, into thy house, that he may eat bread, and drink water. He deceived 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 did eat 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 And so it was, as, they, were sitting at the table, yea, so it was, that the word of Yahweh came unto the prophet who had brought him back;
Wana bavandaki na mesa, Yawe alobaki na mosakoli ya mobange, oyo azongisaki moto na Nzambe,
21 and he cried out unto the man of God who had come in out of Judah, saying, Thus, saith Yahweh, —Forasmuch as thou hast rebelled against the bidding of Yahweh, and hast not kept the commandment which Yahweh thy God commanded thee;
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 hast returned, and eaten bread and drunk water, in the place of which he said unto thee, Thou mayest neither eat bread nor drink water: thy dead body shall not enter the burying-place of thy 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 And it came to pass, after he had eaten bread, and after he had drunk, that he saddled for him the ass, 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 And, when he had gone, there met him a lion by the way, and slew him, —and his dead body was cast out in the way, and, the ass, was standing near it, and, the lion, was standing near the dead 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 And lo! certain men, passing by, saw the dead body, cast out in the way, and the lion standing near the dead body, —so they came in, and spake [of it] in the city, wherein, the aged prophet, dwelt.
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 And, when the prophet who had brought him back from the way heard of it, he said—The man of God, it is, who rebelled against the bidding of Yahweh, —therefore did Yahweh deliver him unto the lion, and it hath torn him and slain him, according to the word of Yahweh which he spake unto 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 And he spake unto his sons, saying, Saddle for me the ass. And 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 So he went and found his dead body, cast out in the way, with, the ass and the lion, standing near the dead body, —the lion had neither eaten the dead body, nor had it torn the ass.
Abimaki mpe akutaki ebembe elali na nzela, ane mpe nkosi etelemi pembeni ya ebembe. Nkosi eliaki te ezala ebembe to ane.
29 And the prophet took up the dead body of the man of God, and laid it upon the ass, and brought it back, —and the aged prophet came into the city, to make lamentation, 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 And he laid his dead body in his own grave, —and they lamented 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 And it came to pass, after he had buried him, that he spake unto his sons, saying, When I die, then shall ye bury me in the grave wherein the man of God is buried; beside his bones, lay my 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 message which he proclaimed, by the ward of Yahweh, against the altar which is in Bethel, —and against all the houses of the high places which are in the cities of Samaria, shall surely come to pass.
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 turned not from his wicked way, —but again made, from the whole compass of the people, priests of high places, whomsoever he would, he installed, and he became priest of 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 And so this thing became the sin of the house of Jeroboam, —that it should be both taken away and destroyed, from off the face of the ground.
Oyo nde ezalaki lisumu ya ndako ya Jeroboami, oyo ememaki kokweya mpe kobebisama ya bokonzi na ye kati na mokili.
