2 Kings 3
1 And Jehoram son of Ahab hath reigned over Israel, in Samaria, in the eighteenth year of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, and he reigneth twelve years,
Tango Jozafati, mokonzi ya Yuda, akokisaki mibu zomi na mwambe na bokonzi, Yorami, mwana mobali ya Akabi, akomaki mokonzi ya Isalaele na Samari. Asalaki mibu zomi na mibale na bokonzi.
2 and doth the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah, only not like his father, and like his mother, and he turneth aside the standing-pillar of Baal that his father made;
Asalaki mabe na miso ya Yawe, kasi ndenge moko te na tata mpe mama na ye. Abukaki ekeko ya Bala oyo tata na ye atelemisaki,
3 only to the sins of Jeroboam son of Nebat that he caused Israel to sin he hath cleaved, he hath not turned aside from it.
kasi akangamaki kaka na lisumu ya Jeroboami, mwana mobali ya Nebati, oyo amemaki Isalaele na kosala masumu; atikalaki kobongwana na yango te.
4 And Mesha king of Moab was a sheep-master, and he rendered to the king of Israel a hundred thousand lambs, and a hundred thousand rams, [with] wool,
Mesha, mokonzi ya Moabi, azalaki kobokola bameme. Mibu nyonso, azalaki kofuta mpako epai ya mokonzi ya Isalaele, oyo ezalaki na motuya ya bampate nkoto nkama moko mpe ya bameme ya mibali nkoto nkama moko elongo na bapwale na yango.
5 and it cometh to pass at the death of Ahab, that the king of Moab transgresseth against the king of Israel.
Tango Akabi akufaki, mokonzi ya Moabi atombokelaki mokonzi ya Isalaele.
6 And king Jehoram goeth out in that day from Samaria, and inspecteth all Israel,
Na tango wana, mokonzi Yorami abimaki na Samari mpe asangisaki Isalaele mobimba.
7 and goeth and sendeth unto Jehoshaphat king of Judah, saying, 'The king of Moab hath transgressed against me; dost thou go with me unto Moab for battle?' and he saith, 'I go up, as I, so thou; as my people, so thy people; as my horses, so thy horses.
Atindaki lisusu sango oyo epai ya Jozafati, mokonzi ya Yuda: — Mokonzi ya Moabi atombokeli ngai. Okoki solo kokende elongo na ngai mpo na kobundisa bato ya Moabi? Mokonzi Jozafati azongisaki: — Nakokende na yo elongo. Ngai na yo tozali kaka moto moko; bato na ngai bazali kaka bato na yo, bongo bampunda na ngai ezali mpe bampunda na yo.
8 And he saith, 'Where [is] this — the way we go up?' and he saith, 'The way of the wilderness of Edom.'
Jozafati atunaki: — Tokokende na nzela nini? Yorami azongisaki: — Na nzela ya esobe ya Edomi.
9 And the king of Israel goeth, and the king of Judah, and the king of Edom, and they turn round the way seven days, and there hath been no water for the camp, and for the cattle that [are] at their feet,
Mokonzi ya Isalaele abimaki elongo na mokonzi ya Yuda mpe mokonzi ya Edomi. Batambolaki mikolo sambo, kasi mayi ya komela ezalaki lisusu te mpo na mampinga mpe banyama oyo ezalaki kotambola elongo na bango.
10 and the king of Israel saith, 'Alas, for Jehovah hath called for these three kings, to give them into the hand of Moab.'
Mokonzi ya Isalaele akamwaki: — Ndenge nini boye! Yawe asangisi biso awa, biso bakonzi misato, kaka mpo na kokaba biso na maboko ya bato ya Moabi?
11 And Jehoshaphat saith, 'Is there not here a prophet of Jehovah, and we seek Jehovah by him?' And one of the servants of the king of Israel answereth and saith, 'Here [is] Elisha son of Shaphat, who poured water on the hands of Elijah.'
Kasi Jozafati atunaki: — Awa, ezali te na mosakoli ya Yawe mpo ete totuna toli ya Yawe na nzela na ye? Mokonzi moko ya mampinga ya mokonzi ya Isalaele azongisaki: — Elize, mwana mobali ya Shafati, azali awa. Azalaki kosopa mayi na maboko ya Eliya.
12 And Jehoshaphat saith, 'The word of Jehovah is with him;' and go down unto him do the king of Israel, and Jehoshaphat, and the king of Edom.
Jozafati alobaki: — Solo, Liloba na Yawe ezali elongo na ye. Boye mokonzi ya Isalaele elongo na Jozafati mpe mokonzi ya Edomi bakendeki epai ya Elize.
13 And Elisha saith unto the king of Israel, 'What — to me and to thee? go unto the prophets of thy father, and unto the prophets of thy mother;' and the king of Israel saith to him, 'Nay, for Jehovah hath called for these three kings to give them into the hand of Moab.'
Elize alobaki na mokonzi ya Isalaele: — Ngai na yo likambo nini? Kende koluka mosakoli ya tata na yo to ya mama na yo. Mokonzi ya Isalaele azongisaki: — Te! Yawe asangisi biso te, biso bakonzi oyo misato, mpo na kokaba biso na maboko ya bato ya Moabi!
14 And Elisha saith, 'Jehovah of Hosts liveth, before whom I have stood; for unless the face of Jehoshaphat king of Judah I am lifting up, I do not look unto thee, nor see thee;
Elize azongisaki: — Na Kombo na Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, oyo ngai nasalelaka; soki ezalaki te mpo na kotosa Jozafati, mokonzi ya Yuda, nalingaki kutu ata moke te kotala yo to kolanda yo na bokebi.
15 and now, bring to me a minstrel; and it hath been, at the playing of the minstrel, that the hand of Jehovah is on him,
Kasi sik’oyo, memela ngai mobeti moko ya lindanda! Wana mobeti lindanda azalaki kobeta, loboko ya Yawe ekitelaki Elize,
16 and he saith, 'Thus said Jehovah, Make this valley ditches — ditches;
mpe Elize alobaki: « Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: Botimola mabulu ebele na lubwaku oyo!
17 for thus said Jehovah, Ye do not see wind, nor do ye see rain, and that valley is full of water, and ye have drunk — ye, and your cattle, and your beasts.
Pamba te, tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: Bokotikala te komona mopepe to mvula, kasi lubwaku oyo ekotonda na mayi, mpe bino elongo na bibwele na bino bokomela yango.
18 'And this hath been light in the eyes of Jehovah, and he hath given Moab into your hand,
Ezali likambo moke na miso ya Yawe. Akokaba lisusu bato ya Moabi na maboko na bino.
19 and ye have smitten every fenced city, and every choice city, and every good tree ye cause to fall, and all fountains of waters ye stop, and every good portion ye mar with stones.'
Bokobuka bingumba na bango nyonso oyo batonga makasi mpe bingumba nyonso ya minene, bokokata banzete na bango nyonso ya kitoko, bokokanga bitima nyonso ya mayi mpe bokobebisa bilanga nyonso na mabanga. »
20 And it cometh to pass in the morning, at the ascending of the [morning] -present, that lo, waters are coming in from the way of Edom, and the land is filled with the waters,
Na tongo ya mokolo oyo elandaki, na tango oyo batumbaka mbeka, mayi ebandaki kotiola na nzela ya Edomi, mpe mabele etondaki na mayi.
21 and all Moab have heard that the kings have come up to fight against them, and they are called together, from every one girding on a girdle and upward, and they stand by the border.
Nzokande, sima na bato nyonso ya Moabi koyoka sango ete bakonzi bayei kobundisa bango, babengaki bato nyonso, bilenge mpe mikolo oyo bakoki komema bibundeli, mpe batelemisaki bango na mondelo ya mboka.
22 And they rise early in the morning, and the sun hath shone on the waters, and the Moabites see, from over-against, the waters red as blood,
Tango balamukaki na tongo-tongo, moyi ezalaki kongala na mayi; mpe bato ya Moabi bamonaki liboso na bango mayi motane lokola makila.
23 and say, 'Blood this [is]; the kings have been surely destroyed, and they smite each his neighbour; and now for spoil, Moab!'
Bagangaki: « Ezali makila! Bakonzi babundi bango na bango. Sik’oyo, bato na Moabi, tokende kobotola biloko na bango! »
24 And they come in unto the camp of Israel, and the Israelites rise, and smite the Moabites, and they flee from their face; and they enter into Moab, so as to smite Moab,
Kasi tango bato ya Moabi bakomaki na molako ya bana ya Isalaele, bana ya Isalaele batelemaki, babundisaki bango kino bato ya Moabi bakimaki. Bato ya Isalaele bakotaki na mboka Moabi mpe babetaki yango.
25 and the cities they break down, and [on] every good portion they cast each his stone, and have filled it, and every fountain of water they stop, and every good tree they cause to fall — till one had left its stones in Kir-Haraseth, and the slingers go round and smite it.
Babebisaki bingumba, mpe moto nyonso abwakaki libanga moko na bilanga nyonso ya kitoko kino etondaki na mabanga, bakangaki bitima nyonso ya mayi, mpe bakataki nzete nyonso ya kitoko. Kaka engumba ya Kiri-Aresheti nde etikalaki na mabanga na yango; kasi babwaki ya mabanga bazingelaki yango mpe babundisaki yango lokola.
26 And the king of Moab seeth that the battle has been too strong for him, and he taketh with him seven hundred men, drawing sword, to cleave through unto the king of Edom, and they have not been able,
Tango mokonzi ya Moabi amonaki ete bitumba ebalukeli ye, akamataki basoda nkama sambo oyo babundaka na mipanga, mpo na kofungola nzela kino epai ya mokonzi ya Edomi, kasi balongaki te.
27 and he taketh his son, the first-born who reigneth in his stead, and causeth him to ascend — a burnt-offering on the wall, and there is great wrath against Israel, and they journey from off him, and turn back to the land.
Boye azwaki mwana na ye ya liboso ya mobali oyo alingaki kokitana na ye na bokonzi, abonzaki ye lokola mbeka ya kotumba, na likolo ya mir ya engumba. Tango bamonaki bongo, bana ya Isalaele bayokaki mawa, balongwaki mpe bazongaki na mboka na bango.
