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 sent Jezebel a messenger unto Elijah, saying, —So, let the gods do, and, so, let them add, if, by this time to-morrow, I make not thy life as the life of one of them.
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 into the wilderness a day’s journey, and came and sat down under a certain shrub, —and asked for his life, that he might die, and said—Enough, now, O Yahweh! take away my life, for, no better, am, I, 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, as he lay, and slept, under a certain shrub, lo! a messenger, touching him, who said to him—Rise, 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 So he looked about, and lo! at his head, a cake baked on hot stones, and a cruse of water, —and he did eat and drink, and then went back and lay down.
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 messenger of Yahweh came again a second time, and touched him, and said—Rise, eat, —because, too much for thee, is the journey.
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 So he arose, and did eat and drink, —and journeyed, in the strength of that eating, forty days and forty nights, as far as the mountain of God—Horeb.
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 entered, there, into a cave, and lodged there, —and lo! the word of Yahweh [came] unto him, and said to 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—Very jealous, have I been, for Yahweh, God of hosts, because the sons of Israel have forsaken thy covenant, thine altars, have they thrown down, thy prophets, also have they slain with the sword, —and, I alone, am left, and they have sought my life, to take it.
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 to-morrow, and stand in the mountain, before Yahweh. And lo! Yahweh, passing by, and a great and strong wind—rending the mountains, and breaking in pieces the crags, before Yahweh, Not, in the wind, was, Yahweh, —And, after the wind, an, earthquake, Not, in the earthquake, was, Yahweh;
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, Not, in the fire, was, Yahweh, —And, after the fire, the voice of a gentle whisper.
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 came to pass, when Elijah heard it, he wrapped his face in his mantle, and went forth, and stood at the entrance of the cave, —and lo! unto him, a voice; and it 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—Very jealous, have I been, for Yahweh, God of hosts, because the sons of Israel have forsaken thy covenant, thine altars, have they thrown down, thy prophets also, have they slain with the sword, —and, I alone, am left, and they rove sought my life, to take it.
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 Yahweh said unto him, Go, return to thy way, towards the wilderness of Damascus, —and, when thou enterest, then shalt thou 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 son of Minshi, shalt thou anoint to be king over Israel, —and, Elisha son of Shaphat of Abel-meholah, shalt thou anoint to be prophet in thy stead:
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 Then shall it come to pass, that—him that escapeth the sword of Hazael, shall, Jehu, slay, —and, him that escapeth 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 remaining in Israel, seven thousand, —all knees which have not bowed to Baal, and all mouths which have not kissed to 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 from thence, and found Elisha son of Shaphat, as he was plowing, with twelve yoke of oxen before him, he being with the twelfth, —so Elijah crossed over unto him, and cast his mantle towards 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, that I may follow thee. And he said unto him, —Go, turn back, 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 So he turned back from following him, and took the yoke of oxen, and sacrificed them, and, with the implements of the oxen, boiled their flesh, and gave unto the people, and they did eat, —then he arose, and followed 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.
