Isaiah 36
1 Now it came to pass in the fourteenth year of King Hezekiah, that Sennacherib king of Assyria came up, against all the fortified cities of Judah and took them.
Tango Ezekiasi akokisaki mibu zomi na minei na bokonzi, Senakeribe, mokonzi ya Asiri, abundisaki bingumba nyonso ya Yuda, oyo batonga makasi mpe abotolaki yango.
2 Then did the king of Assyria send Rabshakeh from Lachish to Jerusalem unto King Hezekiah with a heavy force, —and he took his stand by the upper channel of the pool, in the highway of the fuller’s field.
Boye, mokonzi ya Asiri atindaki mokonzi ya basoda oyo bakengelaka ye, elongo na mampinga ya basoda ya nguya, wuta na Lakishi kino na Yelusalemi, epai ya mokonzi Ezekiasi. Tango mokonzi ya basoda yango atelemaki pene ya nzela oyo ememaka mayi na liziba ya mayi ya monene, oyo ezali na nzela ya elanga ya moto oyo atiaka langi na bilamba,
3 And there went out to him—Eliakim son of Hilkiah who was over the household, —and Shebna, the scribe, and Joah son of Asaph the recorder.
Eliakimi, mwana mobali ya Ilikia, mobateli biloko ya ndako ya mokonzi; Shebina, mokomi mikanda; mpe Yoa, mwana mobali ya Azafi mpe mobombi mikanda, babimaki mpo na kokutana na ye.
4 And Rabshakeh said unto them, Pray you say unto Hezekiah, —Thus, saith the great king, the king of Assyria, What is this trust, wherewith thou dost trust?
Mokonzi ya basoda oyo bakengelaka mokonzi alobaki na bango: « Boloba na Ezekiasi: ‹ Tala makambo oyo mokonzi monene, mokonzi ya Asiri, alobi: Otie elikya na yo na nini?
5 I have said [sayest thou] —they are only words of the lips—Counsel and might have I for the war, —Now, upon whom dost thou trust, that thou hast rebelled against me?
Okanisi ete maloba ya pamba ekoki kozwa esika ya mayele mpe makasi ya bitumba? Otie penza elikya na nani mpo ete otombokela ngai?
6 Lo! thou dost trust on the support of this bruised cane, on Egypt, whereon if a man lean it will enter his hand and lay it open, —So, is Pharaoh king of Egypt to all who trust upon him.
Tala, ozali nde kotia elikya na Ejipito oyo ezali lokola mwa nzete ya bambu oyo ebukana, oyo etobolaka mpe ezokisaka loboko ya moto oyo ayekamelaka yango! Faraon, mokonzi ya Ejipito, azalaka nde bongo mpo na bato nyonso oyo batielaka ye motema.
7 But, if thou shouldst say unto me, In Yahweh our God, do we trust, Then is that not he whose high places and whose altars, Hezekiah hath removed, and said unto Judah and unto Jerusalem, Before this altar, shall ye bow yourselves down?
Mpe soki olobi na ngai: ‘Totiaka elikya na biso kati na Yawe, Nzambe na biso.’ Boni, ezali ye te oyo Ezekiasi alongolaki bisambelo na ye ya likolo ya bangomba mpe bitumbelo na ye tango alobaki na Yuda mpe na Yelusalemi: ‘Bosengeli kogumbama liboso ya etumbelo oyo?’
8 Now, therefore, pledge thyself I pray thee with my lord, the king of Assyria, —That I supply thee with two thousand horses, If thou on thy part be able to set riders upon them;
Sik’oyo, nabondeli yo, beta mondenge na nkolo na ngai, mokonzi ya Asiri: nakopesa yo bampunda nkoto mibale soki okoki kopesa basoda mpo ete batambolisa yango!
9 How then wilt thou turn away the face of one pasha of the least of my lord’s servants? Or hast thou on thy part trusted upon Egypt, for chariots and for horsemen?
Okokoka ndenge nini kokimisa ata mokonzi moko kaka, kati na bakonzi ya basoda ya nkolo na ngai, yo oyo otiaka elikya na yo na Ejipito mpo na bashar mpe bato oyo batambolisaka yango?
10 But, now, is it, without Yahweh, that I have come up against this land to destroy it? Yahweh himself, said unto me, Go thou up against this land and destroy it!
Okanisi ete ngai nayei kobundisa mpe kobebisa mokili oyo na ndingisa ya Yawe te? Ezali Ye moko Yawe nde alobaki na ngai ete nabundisa mokili oyo mpe nabebisa yango. › »
11 Then said Eliakim, and Shebna, and Joah, unto Rabshakeh—Speak we pray thee unto thy servants in the Syrian language, for we, can, understand, it, —and do not speak unto us in the Jews’ language, in the ears of the people who are upon the wall.
Eliakimi, Shebina mpe Yoa balobaki na mokonzi ya basoda oyo bakengelaka mokonzi: — Tobondeli yo, loba na biso, basali na yo, na lokota ya Arami, pamba te tososolaka yango; koloba na biso na lokota ya Ebre te, noki te bato oyo bazali na likolo ya mir bakoyoka.
12 But Rabshakeh said—Is it unto thy lord and unto thee, that my lord hath sent me, to speak these things? Is it not concerning the men who are tarrying upon the wall, that they may eat and drink what cometh from them, with you?
Mokonzi ya basoda oyo bakengelaka mokonzi azongisaki: — Bokanisi ete nkolo na ngai atindi ngai koloba maloba oyo kaka epai na mokonzi na bino mpe epai na bino? Te! Maloba yango ezali mpe mpo na bato oyo batelemi na likolo ya mir, oyo bakolia nyei na bango mpe komela masuba na bango elongo na bino?
13 So then Rabshakeh took his stand, and cried out with a loud voice, in the Jews’ language, and said, Hear ye the words of the great king, the king of Assyria:
Boye, mokonzi ya basoda oyo bakengelaka mokonzi atelemaki mpe agangaki makasi na lokota ya Ebre: « Boyoka maloba ya mokonzi monene, mokonzi ya Asiri!
14 Thus, saith the king, Let not Hezekiah deceive you, —for he shall not be able to deliver you.
Tala makambo oyo mokonzi alobi: Tika ete Ezekiasi akosa bino te, pamba te akokoka te kokangola bino!
15 Neither let Hezekiah cause you to trust in Yahweh saying, Yahweh, will certainly deliver, us, —this city shall not be given over, into the hand of the king of Assyria.
Bondima te ete Ezekiasi atinda bino kotia elikya na Yawe tango azali koloba: ‹ Solo, Yawe akokangola biso. Engumba oyo ekokweya te na maboko ya mokonzi ya Asiri. ›
16 Do not hearken unto Hezekiah, —for, thus, saith the king of Assyria, Deal with me thankfully, and come out unto me, Then shall ye eat, Every one of his own vine and Every one of his own fig-tree, And drink every one the Waters of his own cistern:
Boyokela Ezekiasi te, pamba te tala makambo oyo mokonzi ya Asiri alobi: Bosala boyokani ya kimia elongo na ngai mpe boya epai na ngai; bongo moko na moko kati na bino akolia mbuma ya elanga na ye ya vino, ya nzete na ye ya figi mpe akomela mayi ya libulu na ye
17 Until I come and take you, into A land like your own land, —A land of corn and new wine, A land of bread and vineyards: —
liboso ete naya kozwa bino mpo na komema bino na mokili oyo ekokana na oyo ya bino, mokili oyo etonda na ble mpe na vino ya sika; mokili ya mapa mpe ya bilanga ya vino.
18 Lest Hezekiah, persuade you, saying, Yahweh will deliver us! Have the gods of the nations, delivered, —any one of them—his country, out of the hand of the king of Assyria?
Bondima Ezekiasi te, pamba te azali kokosa bino tango azali koloba: ‹ Yawe akokangola biso. › Boni, ezali na nzambe ya ekolo songolo, oyo alonga kokangola ekolo na ye na loboko ya mokonzi ya Asiri?
19 Where are the gods of Hamath and Arpad? Where are the gods of Sepharvaim? If indeed they had only delivered Samaria, out of my hand!
Wapi banzambe ya Amati mpe ya Aripadi? Wapi banzambe ya Sefarivayimi? Boni, balongaki kokangola Samari na loboko na ngai?
20 Who are they, among all the gods of these countries that have delivered their country out of my hand? That, Yahweh, should deliver, Jerusalem, out of my hand!
Kati na banzambe ya mikili wana, nani azalaki na makoki ya kokangola mokili na ye na maboko na ngai? Bongo ndenge nini Yawe akoka solo kokangola Yelusalemi na maboko na ngai? »
21 But they held their peace, and answered him not a word, —for the command of the king, it was, saying, —Ye must not answer him.
Kasi bato batikalaki kimia mpe bazongiselaki ye ata liloba moko te, pamba te mokonzi apesaki mitindo: « Bopesa ye eyano te! »
22 Then came in—Eliakim son of Hilkiah who was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah son of Asaph, the recorder, unto Hezekiah, with rent clothes, —and they told him the words of Rabshakeh.
Bongo Eliakimi, mwana mobali ya Ilikia mpe mobateli biloko ya ndako ya mokonzi; Shebina, mokomi mikanda; mpe Yoa, mwana mobali ya Azafi mpe mobombi mikanda, bayaki epai ya Ezekiasi na bilamba epasuka, mpe bayebisaki ye makambo oyo mokonzi ya basoda oyo bakengelaka mokonzi ya Asiri alobaki.
