1 Kings 22
1 They continued three years without war between Syria and Israel.
Bitumba ezalaki te kati ya Isalaele mpe Siri mibu misato.
2 In the third year, Jehoshaphat the king of Judah came down to the king of Israel.
Kasi na mobu ya misato, Jozafati, mokonzi ya Yuda, akendeki kotala mokonzi ya Isalaele.
3 The king of Israel said to his servants, “You know that Ramoth Gilead is ours, and we do nothing, and don’t take it out of the hand of the king of Syria?”
Mokonzi ya Isalaele alobaki na bakalaka na ye: « Boyebi malamu ete Ramoti ya Galadi ezalaka ya biso! Nzokande, tosalaka eloko moko te mpo na kobotola yango na maboko ya mokonzi ya Siri. »
4 He said to Jehoshaphat, “Will you go with me to battle to Ramoth Gilead?” Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, “I am as you are, my people as your people, my horses as your horses.”
Alobaki mpe na Jozafati: — Boni, okoki solo kosepela kokende elongo na ngai mpo na kobundisa Ramoti ya Galadi? Jozafati azongiselaki mokonzi ya Isalaele: — Ngai mpe yo, bato na ngai mpe bato na yo, tozali se moko, ezala bampunda na ngai mpe bampunda na yo.
5 Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, “Please enquire first for the LORD’s word.”
Jozafati alobaki lisusu na mokonzi ya Isalaele: — Nabondeli yo, tuna nanu toli ya Yawe.
6 Then the king of Israel gathered the prophets together, about four hundred men, and said to them, “Should I go against Ramoth Gilead to battle, or should I refrain?” They said, “Go up; for the Lord will deliver it into the hand of the king.”
Boye mokonzi ya Isalaele asangisaki basakoli pene nkama minei mpe atunaki bango: — Nakoki solo kokende kobundisa Ramoti ya Galadi to te? Bazongiselaki ye: — Kende, pamba te Nkolo akokaba yango na maboko ya mokonzi.
7 But Jehoshaphat said, “Isn’t there here a prophet of the LORD, that we may enquire of him?”
Kasi Jozafati atunaki lisusu: — Ezali lisusu na mosakoli moko te awa oyo na nzela na ye tokoki kotuna toli ya Yawe?
8 The king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, “There is yet one man by whom we may enquire of the LORD, Micaiah the son of Imlah; but I hate him, for he does not prophesy good concerning me, but evil.” Jehoshaphat said, “Don’t let the king say so.”
Mokonzi ya Isalaele azongiselaki Jozafati: — Ezali lisusu na moto moko oyo na nzela na ye tokoki kotuna toli ya Yawe, kasi ngai nalingaka ye te; pamba te asakolaka makambo ya malamu te mpo na bomoi na ngai, asakolaka kaka makambo ya mabe. Ezali Mishe, mwana mobali ya Yimila. Jozafati alobaki: — Tika ete mokonzi aloba bongo te!
9 Then the king of Israel called an officer, and said, “Quickly get Micaiah the son of Imlah.”
Bongo, mokonzi ya Isalaele abengaki moko kati na bakalaka na ye ya lokumu mpe alobaki na ye: « Memela ngai na lombangu Mishe, mwana mobali ya Yimila. »
10 Now the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah were sitting each on his throne, arrayed in their robes, in an open place at the entrance of the gate of Samaria; and all the prophets were prophesying before them.
Mokonzi ya Isalaele mpe Jozafati, mokonzi ya Yuda, balataki bilamba na bango ya bokonzi mpe bavandaki na bakiti na bango ya bokonzi, na etando ya ekotelo ya ekuke ya Samari. Mpe basakoli nyonso bazalaki kosakola liboso na bango.
11 Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah made himself horns of iron, and said, “The LORD says, ‘With these you will push the Syrians, until they are consumed.’”
Nzokande moko kati na bango, Sedesiasi, mwana mobali ya Kenaana, asalisaki maseke ya ebende mpe alobaki: « Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: ‹ Na maseke oyo okobeta bato ya Siri kino okosilisa koboma bango. › »
12 All the prophets prophesied so, saying, “Go up to Ramoth Gilead and prosper; for the LORD will deliver it into the hand of the king.”
Basakoli nyonso bazalaki koloba kaka liloba moko: « Kende kobundisa Ramoti ya Galadi, okolonga; pamba te Yawe akokaba yango na maboko ya mokonzi. »
13 The messenger who went to call Micaiah spoke to him, saying, “See now, the prophets declare good to the king with one mouth. Please let your word be like the word of one of them, and speak good.”
Ntoma oyo akendeki kobenga Mishe alobaki na ye: — Tala, basakoli nyonso bazali koloba liloba kaka moko mpo na kosakola elonga mpo na mokonzi. Boye, tika ete maloba na yo ekokana na maloba na bango: sakola elonga mpo na mokonzi!
14 Micaiah said, “As the LORD lives, what the LORD says to me, that I will speak.”
Kasi Mishe azongisaki: — Na Kombo na Yawe, makambo oyo Yawe akoloba na ngai, yango nde nakoloba.
15 When he had come to the king, the king said to him, “Micaiah, shall we go to Ramoth Gilead to battle, or shall we forbear?” He answered him, “Go up and prosper; and the LORD will deliver it into the hand of the king.”
Tango akomaki epai ya mokonzi, mokonzi alobaki na ye: — Mishe, tokoki solo kokende kobundisa Ramoti ya Galadi to te? Mishe azongisaki: — Kende! Okolonga! Yawe akokaba yango na maboko ya mokonzi.
16 The king said to him, “How many times do I have to adjure you that you speak to me nothing but the truth in the LORD’s name?”
Kasi mokonzi alobaki na ye: — Nakolapisa yo ndayi mbala boni mpo ete oloba na ngai kaka bosolo, na Kombo na Yawe?
17 He said, “I saw all Israel scattered on the mountains, as sheep that have no shepherd. The LORD said, ‘These have no master. Let them each return to his house in peace.’”
Mishe azongisaki: — Namoni bato nyonso ya Isalaele bapalangani na bangomba lokola etonga ya bibwele oyo ezangi mobateli. Mpe Yawe alobi: « Bato oyo bazali lisusu na bakambi te; tika ete moko na moko azonga na ndako na ye na kimia! »
18 The king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, “Didn’t I tell you that he would not prophesy good concerning me, but evil?”
Mokonzi ya Isalaele alobaki na Jozafati: — Nayebisaki yo te ete asakolaka makambo ya malamu te mpo na bomoi na ngai; asakolaka kaka makambo ya mabe!
19 Micaiah said, “Therefore hear the LORD’s word. I saw the LORD sitting on his throne, and all the army of heaven standing by him on his right hand and on his left.
Mishe alobaki: — Solo, yoka nde makambo oyo Yawe alobi! Ngai namoni Yawe avandi na Kiti na Ye ya bokonzi, wana mampinga nyonso ya likolo ezingeli Ye, na ngambo ya loboko na Ye ya mobali mpe na ngambo ya loboko na Ye ya mwasi.
20 The LORD said, ‘Who will entice Ahab, that he may go up and fall at Ramoth Gilead?’ One said one thing, and another said another.
Yawe atuni: « Nani akokosa Akabi mpo ete akende kobundisa Ramoti ya Galadi mpe akufa kuna? » Bazongisaki, moko na moko na ndenge na ye.
21 A spirit came out and stood before the LORD, and said, ‘I will entice him.’
Mpe na suka na nyonso, molimo moko epusanaki, etelemaki liboso ya Yawe mpe elobaki: « Ngai oyo! Nakokosa ye. » Yawe atunaki molimo yango: « Okosala yango ndenge nini? »
22 The LORD said to him, ‘How?’ He said, ‘I will go out and will be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets.’ He said, ‘You will entice him, and will also prevail. Go out and do so.’
Molimo yango ezongisaki: « Nakokende mpe nakobongwana molimo ya lokuta kati na minoko ya basakoli na ye nyonso. » Yawe alobaki: « Solo, okolonga kokosa ye! Kende mpe sala bongo. »
23 Now therefore, behold, the LORD has put a lying spirit in the mouth of all these your prophets; and the LORD has spoken evil concerning you.”
Mpe sik’oyo, tala, Yawe atie molimo ya lokuta kati na minoko ya basakoli na yo oyo nyonso; Yawe azwi penza mokano ya koboma yo!
24 Then Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah came near and struck Micaiah on the cheek, and said, “Which way did the LORD’s Spirit go from me to speak to you?”
Bongo Sedesiasi, mwana mobali ya Kenaana, apusanaki, apapolaki Mishe mbata na litama mpe alobaki: — Molimo na Yawe abimi kati na ngai na nzela nini mpo ete aya koloba na yo?
25 Micaiah said, “Behold, you will see on that day when you go into an inner room to hide yourself.”
Mishe azongisaki: — Okososola yango kaka na mokolo oyo okokima mpe okotambola na shambre moko na moko mpo na koluka kobombama.
26 The king of Israel said, “Take Micaiah, and carry him back to Amon the governor of the city and to Joash the king’s son.
Mbala moko, mokonzi ya Isalaele apesaki mitindo: — Bokanga Mishe mpe bomema ye epai ya Amoni, moyangeli ya engumba, mpe epai ya Joasi, mwana mobali ya mokonzi.
27 Say, ‘The king says, “Put this fellow in the prison, and feed him with bread of affliction and with water of affliction, until I come in peace.”’”
Boloba na bango: « Tala makambo oyo mokonzi alobi: ‹ Bobwaka moto oyo na boloko mpe bopesa ye bilei mosusu te, kaka lipa mpe mayi kino tango nakozonga na kimia. › »
28 Micaiah said, “If you return at all in peace, the LORD has not spoken by me.” He said, “Listen, all you people!”
Mishe alobaki: — Soki penza yo ozongi na kimia, loba ete Yawe alobaki na nzela na ngai te! Abakisaki: — Bino bato nyonso, bosimba makambo oyo nalobi!
29 So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah went up to Ramoth Gilead.
Mokonzi ya Isalaele mpe Jozafati, mokonzi ya Yuda, bakendeki kobundisa Ramoti ya Galadi.
30 The king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, “I will disguise myself and go into the battle, but you put on your robes.” The king of Israel disguised himself and went into the battle.
Mokonzi ya Isalaele alobaki na Jozafati: « Nakomibongola wana nakokende na bitumba; kasi yo, lata bilamba na yo ya bokonzi. » Boye mokonzi ya Isalaele amibongolaki mpe akendeki na bitumba.
31 Now the king of Syria had commanded the thirty-two captains of his chariots, saying, “Don’t fight with small nor great, except only with the king of Israel.”
Nzokande, mokonzi ya Siri apesaki mitindo epai ya bakonzi na ye ya basoda, tuku misato na mibale, oyo batambolisaka bashar: « Bobundisa moto moko te, azala moke to monene; kasi bobundisa kaka mokonzi ya Isalaele. »
32 When the captains of the chariots saw Jehoshaphat, they said, “Surely that is the king of Israel!” and they came over to fight against him. Jehoshaphat cried out.
Tango bakonzi na ye ya basoda, oyo batambolisaka bashar, bamonaki Jozafati, bamilobelaki: « Ezali solo mokonzi ya Isalaele. » Balandaki ye mpo na kobundisa ye, kasi Jozafati agangaki makasi.
33 When the captains of the chariots saw that it was not the king of Israel, they turned back from pursuing him.
Tango bakonzi ya basoda, oyo batambolisaka bashar, basosolaki ete ezali mokonzi ya Isalaele te, batikaki kolanda ye.
34 A certain man drew his bow at random, and struck the king of Israel between the joints of the armour. Therefore he said to the driver of his chariot, “Turn around, and carry me out of the battle, for I am severely wounded.”
Kasi moto moko ya Siri abetaki tolotolo na ye bibetela, mpe mbanzi na yango edusolaki ebombelo ya tolo ya mokonzi ya Isalaele mpe ezwaki ye. Mokonzi alobaki na motambolisi ya shar: « Baluka mpe bimisa ngai libanda ya esika oyo bitumba ezali koleka, pamba te nazoki. »
35 The battle increased that day. The king was propped up in his chariot facing the Syrians, and died at evening. The blood ran out of the wound into the bottom of the chariot.
Na mokolo yango, lokola bitumba ezalaki makasi, mokonzi atikalaki ya kotelema kati na shar na ye liboso ya bato ya Siri; mpe na pokwa, akufaki. Makila oyo ebimaki na pota na ye esopanaki kati na shar.
36 A cry went throughout the army about the going down of the sun, saying, “Every man to his city, and every man to his country!”
Na pokwa, makelele moko ezalaki kotambola kati na mampinga: « Tika ete moto na moto azonga na engumba na ye; tika ete moto na moto azonga na mabele na ye! »
37 So the king died, and was brought to Samaria; and they buried the king in Samaria.
Boye mokonzi akufaki, mpe bamemaki ye na Samari; mpe bakundaki ye kuna.
38 They washed the chariot by the pool of Samaria; and the dogs licked up his blood where the prostitutes washed themselves, according to the LORD’s word which he spoke.
Basukolaki shar na ye na liziba moko oyo ezalaki na Samari epai wapi basi ya ndumba bazalaki kosukola; mpe bambwa elembolaki makila na ye kolanda maloba oyo Yawe alobaki.
39 Now the rest of the acts of Ahab, and all that he did, and the ivory house which he built, and all the cities that he built, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
Makambo mosusu oyo etali bokonzi ya Akabi, misala na ye, ndako oyo atongisaki na pembe ya nzoko mpe bingumba nyonso oyo alendisaki, ekomama kati na buku ya masolo ya bakonzi ya Isalaele.
40 So Ahab slept with his fathers; and Ahaziah his son reigned in his place.
Akabi akendeki kokutana na bakoko na ye. Mpe Akazia, mwana na ye ya mobali, akitanaki na ye na bokonzi.
41 Jehoshaphat the son of Asa began to reign over Judah in the fourth year of Ahab king of Israel.
Jozafati, mwana mobali ya Asa, akomaki mokonzi ya Yuda na mobu ya minei ya bokonzi ya Akabi, mokonzi ya Isalaele.
42 Jehoshaphat was thirty-five years old when he began to reign; and he reigned twenty-five years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Azubah the daughter of Shilhi.
Jozafati azalaki na mibu tuku misato na mitano ya mbotama tango akomaki mokonzi, mpe akonzaki mibu tuku mibale na mitano na Yelusalemi. Kombo ya mama na ye ezalaki « Azuba. » Azuba azalaki mwana mwasi ya Shili.
43 He walked in all the way of Asa his father. He didn’t turn away from it, doing that which was right in the LORD’s eyes. However, the high places were not taken away. The people still sacrificed and burnt incense on the high places.
Jozafati alandaki nzela nyonso oyo Asa, tata na ye, atambolaki na yango mpe apengwaki na yango ata moke te; asalaki makambo ya sembo na miso ya Yawe. Nzokande, balongolaki te bisambelo ya likolo ya bangomba; bato bakobaki kaka kobonza kuna bambeka mpe kotumba ansa.
44 Jehoshaphat made peace with the king of Israel.
Jozafati abikaki na kimia elongo na mokonzi ya Isalaele.
45 Now the rest of the acts of Jehoshaphat, and his might that he showed, and how he fought, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
Makambo mosusu oyo etali bokonzi ya Jozafati, misala na ye mpe bitumba na ye ekomama kati na buku ya masolo ya bakonzi ya Yuda.
46 The remnant of the sodomites, that remained in the days of his father Asa, he put away out of the land.
Ezalaki ye nde moto alongolaki kati na mokili, bato ya suka oyo bazalaki komipesa na kindumba ya bule, oyo batikalaki na tango Asa, tata na ye, azalaki na bokonzi.
47 There was no king in Edom. A deputy ruled.
Na tango wana, mokonzi azalaki te kati na mokili ya Edomi. Ezalaki kaka na moyangeli moko oyo azalaki kotambolisa kuna.
48 Jehoshaphat made ships of Tarshish to go to Ophir for gold, but they didn’t go, for the ships wrecked at Ezion Geber.
Jozafati asalisaki bamasuwa ya Tarsisi mpo na kokende koluka wolo na Ofiri; kasi elongaki te kokende, pamba te bamasuwa ebukanaki na Etsioni-Geberi.
49 Then Ahaziah the son of Ahab said to Jehoshaphat, “Let my servants go with your servants in the ships.” But Jehoshaphat would not.
Boye Akazia, mwana mobali ya Akabi, alobaki na Jozafati: « Tika ete basali na ngai bakende nzela moko na basali na yo na bamasuwa! » Kasi Jozafati aboyaki.
50 Jehoshaphat slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in his father David’s city. Jehoram his son reigned in his place.
Jozafati akendeki kokutana na bakoko na ye, mpe bakundaki ye esika moko na bakoko na ye kati na engumba ya Davidi, koko na ye. Yorami, mwana na ye ya mobali, akitanaki na ye na bokonzi.
51 Ahaziah the son of Ahab began to reign over Israel in Samaria in the seventeenth year of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, and he reigned two years over Israel.
Tango Jozafati, mokonzi ya Yuda, akokisaki mibu zomi na sambo na bokonzi, Akazia, mwana mobali ya Akabi, akomaki mokonzi na Isalaele na Samari. Asalaki mibu mibale na bokonzi.
52 He did that which was evil in the LORD’s sight, and walked in the way of his father, and in the way of his mother, and in the way of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, in which he made Israel to sin.
Asalaki makambo mabe na miso ya Yawe; pamba te alandaki banzela ya tata na ye, ya mama na ye mpe ya Jeroboami, mwana mobali ya Nebati, oyo asalaki ete Isalaele asala lisumu.
53 He served Baal and worshipped him, and provoked the LORD, the God of Israel, to anger in all the ways that his father had done so.
Asalelaki nzambe Bala mpe agumbamelaki yango; na bongo, apelisaki kanda ya Yawe, Nzambe ya Isalaele, ndenge kaka tata na ye asalaki.
