1 Kings 21
1 And it came to pass, after these things, that Naboth the Jezreelite had, a vineyard, which was in Jezreel, —hard by the palace of Ahab, king of Samaria.
Sima na mwa tango, likama moko ekweyelaki Naboti, moto ya Jizireyeli, likolo ya elanga na ye ya vino oyo ezalaki na Jizireyeli, pembeni ya ndako ya Akabi, mokonzi na Samari.
2 Ahab, therefore, spake unto Naboth, saying—Come! give me thy vineyard, that I may have it for a garden of herbs, for, the same, is near by my house, and let me give thee, instead thereof, a vineyard better than it, —if it be good in thine eyes, I will give thee silver to the value of this.
Mokolo moko, Akabi alobaki na Naboti: — Pesa ngai elanga na yo ya vino mpo ete nakomisa yango elanga na ngai ya ndunda, pamba te ezali pene ya ndako na ngai; mpe ngai nakopesa yo elanga mosusu ya vino oyo eleki kitoko na esika ya elanga na yo; to soki olingi, nakopesa yo mosolo oyo ekokani na motuya na yango.
3 And Naboth said unto Ahab, —Far be it from me, of Yahweh! that I should give up the inheritance of my fathers, unto thee!
Kasi Naboti azongiselaki Akabi: — Na Kombo na Yawe, nakoki te kopesa yo libula oyo bakoko na ngai batikela ngai.
4 So Ahab came into his house, sullen and disturbed, because of the word which Naboth the Jezreelite had spoken unto him, that he should have said, I will not give thee the inheritance of my fathers. So he laid him down upon his bed, and turned away his face, and did eat no food.
Akabi azongaki epai na ye na mawa mpe na kanda mpo na maloba oyo Naboti, moto ya Jizireyeli, ayebisaki ye: « Nakoki te kopesa yo libula oyo bakoko na ngai batikela ngai. » Alalaki na mbeto na ye, atalisaki elongi na ye na mir mpe aboyaki kolia.
5 Then came unto him Jezebel his wife, —and said unto him—Why is it, that thy spirit is sullen, that thou art, not eating food?
Mwasi na ye, Jezabeli, ayaki epai na ye mpe atunaki ye: — Mpo na nini ozali na mawa mpe oboyi kolia?
6 And he said unto her—Because I spake unto Naboth, the Jezreelite, and said unto him—Come! give me thy vineyard for silver, or, if thou wouldst prefer, I will give thee a vineyard, in its stead; and he said—I will not give thee my vineyard.
Akabi azongiselaki ye: — Ezali mpo ete tango nawuti epai ya Naboti ya Jizireyeli mpe nalobi na ye: « Tekela ngai elanga na yo ya vino; to soki olingi, nakopesa yo mosolo oyo ekokani na motuya na yango. » Kasi ye azongiseli ngai: « Nakoki te kopesa yo elanga na ngai ya vino. »
7 Then Jezebel his wife said unto him: Art, thou, still, going to carry on the kingdom over Israel? Rise! eat food, and let thy heart be merry, I, will give thee the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite!
Bongo mwasi na ye, Jezabeli, alobaki na ye: — Boni, ezali yo nde ozali mokonzi ya Isalaele to te? Lamuka! Lia mpe sepela! Nakopesa yo elanga ya vino ya Naboti, moto ya Jizireyeli.
8 So she wrote letters, in the name of Ahab, and sealed them with his signet-ring, —and sent the letters unto the elders, and unto the nobles who were in his city, dwelling with Naboth.
Boye, Jezabeli akomaki mikanda na kombo ya Akabi, atiaki yango kashe ya mokonzi mpe atindaki yango epai ya bampaka mpe bankumu oyo bazalaki kovanda engumba moko na Naboti.
9 Now she wrote in the letters, saying, —Proclaim ye a fast, and cause Naboth to sit at the head of the people;
Tala makambo oyo akomaki na mikanda yango: « Bobongisa mokolo moko ya kokila bilei mpe bobengisa bato na mayangani epai wapi bokotia Naboti na esika ya liboso.
10 then let two reckless men take their seats before him, that they may bear witness against him, saying, Thou hast reviled God and king! then shall ye carry him forth and stone him, that he die.
Bongo botia mpe liboso na ye bato ya kilikili mibale oyo bakokosela ye makambo na maloba oyo: ‹ Olakeli Nzambe mpe mokonzi mabe! › Na sima, bomema ye na libanda ya engumba mpe boboma ye na mabanga. »
11 So the men of his city, the elders and the nobles who dwelt in his city, did just as Jezebel had sent unto them, —as it was written in the letters which she had sent unto them:
Boye, bampaka mpe bankumu oyo bazalaki kovanda engumba moko na Naboti batosaki mitindo oyo Jezabeli apesaki bango na nzela na mikanda.
12 they proclaimed a fast, —and caused Naboth to sit at the head of the people.
Babongisaki mokolo ya kokila bilei mpe bavandisaki Naboti na esika ya liboso kati na bato.
13 Then came in the two reckless men, and sat before him, and the men bare witness against him, even against Naboth, before the people, saying, Naboth hath reviled God and king! So they carried him forth, outside the city, and stoned him with stones, that he died.
Bato mibale ya kilikili bayaki kovanda liboso na ye mpe bakomaki kokosela ye makambo na miso ya bato nyonso na maloba oyo: « Naboti alakeli Nzambe mpe mokonzi mabe! » Sima na yango, babimisaki ye na libanda ya engumba mpe babomaki ye na mabanga.
14 Then sent they unto Jezebel, saying, —Naboth is stoned and is dead.
Bongo bampaka mpe bankumu batindaki maloba oyo epai ya Jezabeli: « Basili koboma Naboti na mabanga. »
15 And it came to pass, when Jezebel heard that Naboth was stoned and was dead, that Jezebel said unto Ahab—Rise! take possession of the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, which he refused to give thee for silver, for Naboth is not alive, but dead!
Tango Jezabeli ayokaki ete babomi Naboti na mabanga, alobaki na Akabi: « Telema, kende kokamata elanga ya vino ya Naboti, moto ya Jizireyeli, elanga oyo aboyaki kotekela yo, pamba te Naboti azali lisusu na bomoi te, asili kokufa. »
16 And it came to pass, when Ahab heard that Naboth was dead, that Ahab arose, to go down unto the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, to take possession thereof.
Tango kaka Akabi ayokaki ete Naboti, moto ya Jizireyeli, asili kokufa, atelemaki mpe akendeki kokamata elanga ya vino ya Naboti.
17 Then came the word of Yahweh unto Elijah the Tishbite, saying:
Bongo Yawe alobaki na Eliya, moto ya Tishibe, maloba oyo:
18 Arise! go down to meet Ahab king of Israel, who is in Samaria, —lo! he is in the vineyard of Naboth, whither he hath gone down, to take possession thereof.
« Kende kokutana na Akabi, mokonzi ya Isalaele, oyo azali kokonza wuta na Samari. Na ngonga oyo, azali kati na elanga ya vino ya Naboti epai wapi akendeki mpo na kokamata yango.
19 Then shalt thou speak unto him, saying—Thus, saith Yahweh, Hast thou committed murder, and also taken possession? Then shalt thou speak unto him, saying: Thus, saith Yahweh, In the place where the dogs have lapped up the blood of Naboth, shall the dogs lap up thy blood, even thine.
Okoyebisa ye makambo oyo: Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: ‹ Boni, ozali mobomi te mpe oyibi te? › Okobakisa lisusu: ‹ Tala makambo oyo Yawe alobi: Kaka na esika oyo bambwa elembolaki makila ya Naboti, kaka na esika yango mpe ekolembola makila na yo. › »
20 Then said Ahab unto Elijah, Hast thou found me, O mine enemy? And he said: I have found [thee]! Because thou hast sold thyself to do the thing that is wicked in the eyes of Yahweh,
Tango Akabi amonaki Eliya, alobaki: — Ah, monguna na ngai, omoni ngai kaka! Eliya azongisaki: — Solo, namoni yo; pamba te omitekaki yo moko mpo na kosala makambo mabe na miso ya Yawe.
21 Behold me! [saith he] bringing in upon thee, calamity, and I will consume after thee, —and cut off of Ahab, even the meanest, whether shut up or left at large in Israel;
Boye, tala makambo oyo Yawe alobi: « Nakotindela yo pasi ya makasi. Nakokombola bakitani na yo mpe nakolongola epai ya Akabi mwana mobali nyonso ya libota na yo: azala mowumbu to monsomi kati na Isalaele.
22 and will deliver up thy house—Like the house of Jeroboam son of Nebat, and like the house of Baasha son of Ahijah, —for the provocation wherewith thou hast provoked, and caused, Israel, to sin.
Nakokomisa ndako na yo lokola ndako ya Jeroboami, mwana mobali ya Nebati, mpe lokola ndako ya Baesha, mwana mobali ya Ayiya; pamba te opesi Ngai kanda mpe osali ete Isalaele asala masumu. »
23 Moreover also, concerning Jezebel, hath Yahweh spoken, saying, —The dogs, shall eat Jezebel, in the town-land of Jezreel:
Tala lisusu makambo oyo Yawe alobi na tina na Jezabeli: « Bambwa ekolia Jezabeli pene ya mir ya Jizireyeli.
24 Him that dieth, of Ahab, in the city, shall, the dogs, eat, —and, him that dieth in the field, shall, the birds of heaven, eat.
Moto nyonso ya libota ya Akabi oyo akokufa kati na engumba, bambwa ekolia ye; mpe oyo nyonso akokufa na zamba, bandeke ya likolo ekotobola-tobola ye. »
25 But indeed, there was none like Ahab, who sold himself to do the thing that was wicked in the eyes of Yahweh, —whom Jezebel his wife goaded on;
Solo, ezalaki na moto moko te oyo amitekaki na kosala mabe na miso ya Yawe lokola Akabi. Ezalaki mwasi na ye Jezabeli nde azalaki kotindika ye kosala mabe.
26 so that he did very abominably, in going after the manufactured gods, —according to all which the Amorites had done, whom Yahweh dispossessed from before the sons of Israel.
Asalaki makambo ya nkele koleka na kosambela banzambe ya bikeko ndenge bato ya Amori oyo Yawe abenganaki liboso ya Isalaele bazalaki kosala.
27 And it came to pass, when Ahab heard these words, that he rent his clothes, and put sackcloth upon his flesh, and fasted, —and lay in sackcloth, and went softly.
Tango Akabi ayokaki makambo oyo, apasolaki bilamba na ye, alataki bilamba ya saki mpe akilaki bilei. Azalaki kolala na bilamba ya saki mpe azalaki kotambola malembe-malembe.
28 Then came the word of Yahweh unto Elijah the Tishbite, saying:
Bongo Yawe alobaki lisusu na Eliya, moto ya Tishibe:
29 Hast thou seen that Ahab hath humbled himself, before me? Because he hath humbled himself before me, I will not bring in the calamity in his days, In the days of his son, will I bring in the calamity upon his house.
« Omoni ndenge nini Akabi amikitisi liboso na Ngai? Lokola amikitisi liboso na ngai, nakoyeisa pasi te wana ye akozala nanu na bomoi; kasi nakotinda pasi yango na tango mwana na ye ya mobali akozala na bokonzi. »
