2 Masolo ya Kala 18
1 Mokonzi Jozafati akomaki na lokumu mingi mpe na bozwi ebele, asalaki boyokani elongo na Akabi na nzela ya libala.
And Jehoshaphat had riches and honor in abundance, and he intermarried with Achab.
2 Sima na ndambo ya mibu, akendeki kotala Akabi kati na Samari. Akabi abomaki bameme mpe bangombe ebele mpo na koyamba ye mpe bato oyo bazalaki elongo na ye. Atindikaki ye na kokende na Ramoti ya Galadi.
And he went down after [some] years to Achab to Samaria. And Achab killed for him sheep and oxen in abundance, and for the people that were with him, and persuaded him to go up to Ramoth-gil'ad.
3 Akabi, mokonzi ya Isalaele, atunaki epai ya Jozafati, mokonzi ya Yuda: — Okoki solo kosepela kokende elongo na ngai mpo na kobundisa Ramoti ya Galadi? Jozafati azongisaki: — Ngai mpe yo, bato na ngai mpe bato na yo, tozali se moko; tokokende elongo na yo na bitumba.
Then said Achab the king of Israel unto Jehoshaphat the king of Judah, Wilt thou go with me against Ramoth-gil'ad! And he said to him, I [will be] like thee, and my people [shall be] as thy people; and we will be with thee in the battle.
4 Kasi Jozafati alobaki lisusu na mokonzi ya Isalaele: — Nabondeli yo, tuna nanu toli ya Yawe.
And Jehoshaphat said unto the king of Israel, Inquire, I pray thee, today [first] of the word of the Lord.
5 Boye, mokonzi ya Isalaele asangisaki basakoli nkama minei mpe atunaki bango: — Boni, tokoki solo kokende kobundisa Ramoti ya Galadi to te? Bazongiselaki ye: — Kende, pamba te Nzambe akokaba yango na maboko ya mokonzi.
Then did the king of Israel assemble the prophets, four hundred men, and said unto them, Shall we go to Ramoth-gil'ad to battle, or shall I forbear? And they said, Go up, and God will deliver [it] into the hand of the king.
6 Kasi Jozafati atunaki lisusu: — Ezali lisusu na mosakoli moko te awa oyo, na nzela na ye, tokoki kotuna toli ya Yawe?
And Jehoshaphat said, Is there not here a prophet of the Eternal besides, that we might inquire of him?
7 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 mpo ete atikala nanu kosakola te makambo ya malamu mpo na bomoi na ngai; asakolaka kaka makambo ya mabe. Ezali Mishe, mwana mobali ya Yimila. Jozafati alobaki: — Tika ete mokonzi aloba bongo te!
And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, There is yet one man, by whom we may inquire of the Lord; but I hate him; for he never prophesieth any good concerning me, but at all times evil: it is Michayhu the son of Yimla. And Jehoshaphat said, Let not the king say so.
8 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.
Then called the king of Israel a certain court-officer, and said, “Hasten hither Michayhu the son of Yimla.”
9 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.
And the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah were sitting each on his throne, dressed in their royal garments, and they were sitting in a threshing-floor at the entrance of the gate of Samaria: and all the prophets prophesied before them.
10 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. »
And Zedekiah the son of Kena'anah had made himself horns of iron; and he said, Thus hath said the Lord, With these shalt thou push the Syrians until thou have made an end of them.
11 Basakoli nyonso bazalaki koloba kaka liloba moko: « Kende kobundisa Ramoti ya Galadi! Okolonga, pamba te Yawe akokaba yango na maboko ya mokonzi. »
And all the prophets prophesied so, saying, Go up against Ramoth-gil'ad, and prosper, and the Lord will deliver it into the king's hand.
12 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.
And the messenger that went to call Michayhu spoke to him, saying, Behold, the words of the prophets are with one voice good for the king: so do let thy word, I pray thee, be like [that of] any one of them, and speak something good.
13 Kasi Mishe azongisaki: — Na Kombo na Yawe, makambo oyo Nzambe na ngai akoloba na ngai, yango nde nakoloba.
And Michayhu said, As the Lord liveth, truly what my God may say, that will I speak.
14 Tango akomaki epai ya mokonzi, mokonzi alobaki na ye: — Mishe, tokoki solo kokende kobundisa Ramoti ya Galadi to te? Azongisaki: — Bokende! Bokolonga! Bakokabama na maboko na bino!
And when he was come to the king, the king said unto him, Michah, shall we go to Ramoth-gil'ad to battle, or shall I forbear? And he said, Go ye up, and prosper, and may they be delivered into your hand.
15 Kasi mokonzi alobaki na ye: — Nakolapisa yo ndayi mbala boni mpo ete oloba na ngai kaka bosolo, na Kombo na Yawe?
And the king said to him, How many times yet must I adjure thee that thou shalt not speak to me any thing but the truth in the name of the Lord?
16 Mishe azongisaki: — Namoni bato nyonso ya Isalaele bapalangani na likolo ya 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! »
Then said he, I saw all Israel scattered over the mountains, as flocks that have not a shepherd: and the Lord said, These have no master; let them return every man to his house in peace.
17 Mokonzi ya Isalaele alobaki na Jozafati: — Nayebisaki yo te ete asakolaka makambo ya malamu te mpo na bomoi na ngai, alobaka kaka mpo na mabe!
And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, Did I not say unto thee that he would not prophesy concerning me any good, but [only] for evil?
18 Mishe alobaki: — Solo, boyoka 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.
And he said, Therefore hear ye the word of the Lord: I saw the Lord sitting on his throne, and all the host of heaven standing on his right and his left.
19 Yawe atuni: « Nani akokosa Akabi, mokonzi ya Isalaele, mpo ete akende kobundisa Ramoti ya Galadi mpe akufa kuna? » Bazongisaki, moko na moko na ndenge na ye.
And the Lord said, Who will persuade Achab the king of Israel, that he may go up and fall at Ramoth-gil'ad? And one said—one saying after this manner, and another saying after that manner.
20 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? »
Then came there forth a spirit, and placed himself before the Lord, and said, I will persuade him. And the Lord said unto him, Wherewith?
21 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. »
And he said, I will go forth, and I will become a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets. And he said, Thou wilt persuade him, and also prevail: go forth, and do so.
22 Mpe sik’oyo, tala, Yawe atie molimo ya lokuta kati na minoko ya basakoli na yo oyo; Yawe azwi penza mokano ya koboma yo.
And now, behold, the Lord hath put a lying spirit in the mouth of these thy prophets: but the Lord hath spoken evil concerning thee.
23 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?
And Zedekiah the son of Kena'anah went near, and struck Michayhu on the cheek, and said, Which is the way the Spirit of the Lord passed away from me to speak with thee?
24 Mishe azongisaki: — Okososola yango kaka na mokolo oyo okokima mpe okotambola na shambre moko na moko mpo na koluka kobombama.
And Michayhu said, Behold, thou shalt see it on that day when thou shalt go into the innermost chamber to hide thyself.
25 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.
And the king of Israel said, Take ye Michayhu, and carry him back unto Amon the governor of the city, and to Joash the king's son;
26 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. › »
And say ye, Thus hath said the king, Put this man in the prison, and feed him with sparing bread and with sparing water, until I return in peace.
27 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!
And Michayhu said, If thou return at all in peace, then hath the Lord not spoken through me. And he said, Hear it, O all ye nations!
28 Mokonzi ya Isalaele mpe Jozafati, mokonzi ya Yuda, bakendeki kobundisa Ramoti ya Galadi.
And the king of Israel went up with Jehoshaphat the king of Judah to Ramoth-gil'ad.
29 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.
And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, I will disguise myself, and enter into the battle; but do thou put on thy royal garments. And the king of Israel disguised himself, and they went into the battle.
30 Nzokande, mokonzi ya Siri apesaki mitindo epai ya bakonzi na ye ya basoda oyo batambolisaka bashar: — Bobundisa moto moko te, azala moke to monene; kasi bobundisa kaka mokonzi ya Isalaele.
And the king of Syria had commanded the captains of the chariots that he had, saying, Fight ye not with the small or with the great, save only with the king of Israel alone.
31 Tango bakonzi na ye ya basoda, oyo batambolisaka bashar, bamonaki Jozafati, bamilobelaki: « Ezali solo mokonzi ya Isalaele. » Bazingelaki ye mpo na kobundisa ye, kasi Jozafati agangaki makasi, mpe Yawe asungaki ye. Nzambe atindikaki basoda oyo batambolisaka bashar mosika na ye.
And it came to pass, when the captains of the chariots saw Jehoshaphat, that they said, This is the king of Israel. And they encompassed him to fight; and Jehoshaphat cried out, and the Lord helped him; and God induced them to go away from him.
32 Tango bakonzi ya basoda, oyo batambolisaka bashar basosolaki ete ezali mokonzi ya Isalaele te, batikaki kolanda ye.
And it came to pass, when the captains of the chariots perceived that it was not the king of Israel, that they turned back from following him.
33 Kasi moto moko 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.
But a certain man drew his bow at a venture, and struck the king of Israel between the joints and the armor: wherefore he said to the chariot-driver, Turn about, and carry me out of the camp; for I am wounded.
34 Na mokolo yango, lokola bitumba ezalaki makasi, mokonzi ya Isalaele atikalaki ya kotelema kati na shar na ye liboso ya bato ya Siri, kino na pokwa. Mpe kaka na pokwa yango, akufaki.
And the battle increased on that day: and the king of Israel stayed [himself] up in the chariot against the Syrians until the evening, and he died at the time of the sun's going down.
