2 Bakonzi 1
1 Sima na kufa ya mokonzi Akabi, bato ya Moabi batombokelaki Isalaele.
After the death of Ahab, Moab rebelled against Israel.
2 Mokonzi Akazia akweyaki na Samari wuta na lininisa ya shambre na ye ya likolo mpe azokaki pota moko ya makasi. Atindaki bantoma na ye mpe alobaki na bango: — Bokende kotuna epai ya Bala-Zebubi, nzambe ya Ekroni, mpo na koyeba soki nakobika solo na likama oyo.
Now Ahaziah had fallen through the lattice of his upper room in Samaria and injured himself. So he sent messengers and instructed them: “Go inquire of Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron, whether I will recover from this injury.”
3 Kasi anjelu ya Yawe alobaki na Eliya, moto ya mboka Tishibe: — Kende kokutana na bantoma ya mokonzi ya Samari mpe tuna bango: « Boni, Nzambe azali te kati na Isalaele mpo ete bokende kotuna epai ya Bala-Zebubi, nzambe ya Ekroni?
But the angel of the LORD said to Elijah the Tishbite, “Go up to meet the messengers of the king of Samaria and ask them, ‘Is it because there is no God in Israel that you are on your way to inquire of Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron?’
4 Mpo na yango, tala makambo oyo Yawe alobi: ‹ Okokita te na mbeto oyo olali, pamba te, solo, okokufa. › » Boye Eliya akendeki.
Therefore this is what the LORD says: ‘You will not get up from the bed on which you are lying. You will surely die.’” So Elijah departed.
5 Tango bantoma bazongaki epai ya mokonzi, atunaki bango: — Mpo na nini bozongi?
When the messengers returned to the king, he asked them, “Why have you returned?”
6 Bazongisaki: — Moto moko ayaki kokutana na biso mpe alobaki na biso: « Bozonga epai ya mokonzi oyo atindi bino mpe boloba na ye: Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: ‹ Boni, Nzambe azali lisusu te kati na Isalaele; yango wana ozali kotinda bato kokende kotuna epai ya Bala-Zebubi, nzambe ya Ekroni? › Mpo na yango, okokita te na mbeto oyo olali; okokufa solo. »
They replied, “A man came up to meet us and said, ‘Go back to the king who sent you and tell him that this is what the LORD says: Is it because there is no God in Israel that you are sending these men to inquire of Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron? Therefore you will not get up from the bed on which you are lying. You will surely die.’”
7 Mokonzi atunaki bango: — Moto oyo ayaki kokutana na bino mpe ayebisaki bino makambo oyo azalaki ndenge nini?
The king asked them, “What sort of man came up to meet you and spoke these words to you?”
8 Bazongisaki: — Azalaki mobali moko alata bilamba ya poso ya nyama na loketo na ye. Mokonzi alobaki: — Ezalaki kaka Eliya, moto ya Tishibe.
“He was a hairy man,” they answered, “with a leather belt around his waist.” “It was Elijah the Tishbite,” said the king.
9 Mbala moko, mokonzi atindaki mokonzi ya basoda tuku mitano epai ya Eliya elongo na basoda na ye tuku mitano. Mokonzi ya basoda tuku mitano akendeki epai ya Eliya oyo azalaki kovanda na songe ya ngomba mpe alobaki na ye: — Moto na Nzambe, mokonzi apesi mitindo ete okende epai na ye.
Then King Ahaziah sent to Elijah a captain with his company of fifty men. So the captain went up to Elijah, who was sitting on top of a hill, and said to him, “Man of God, the king declares, ‘Come down!’”
10 Kasi Eliya azongiselaki mokonzi yango ya basoda: — Soki solo nazali moto na Nzambe, tika ete moto ekita wuta na likolo mpe ezikisa yo mpe bato na yo tuku mitano. Bongo moto ekitaki wuta na likolo mpe ezikisaki mokonzi yango ya basoda elongo na basoda na ye tuku mitano.
Elijah answered the captain, “If I am a man of God, may fire come down from heaven and consume you and your fifty men.” And fire came down from heaven and consumed the captain and his fifty men.
11 Mokonzi atindaki lisusu epai ya Eliya mokonzi mosusu ya basoda tuku mitano elongo na basoda na ye tuku mitano. Mokonzi ya basoda alobaki na Eliya: — Moto na Nzambe, mokonzi apesi mitindo ete okende noki epai na ye.
So the king sent to Elijah another captain with his fifty men. And the captain said to Elijah, “Man of God, the king declares, ‘Come down at once!’”
12 Kasi Eliya azongiselaki mokonzi ya basoda: — Soki solo nazali moto na Nzambe, tika ete moto ekita wuta na likolo mpe ezikisa yo elongo na bato na yo tuku mitano. Mbala moko moto ekitaki wuta na likolo mpe ezikisaki mokonzi ya basoda tuku mitano elongo na basoda na ye.
Again Elijah replied, “If I am a man of God, may fire come down from heaven and consume you and your fifty men.” And the fire of God came down from heaven and consumed the captain and his fifty men.
13 Mokonzi Akazia atindaki lisusu na mbala ya misato mokonzi mosusu ya basoda tuku mitano elongo na basoda tuku mitano. Mokonzi yango akendeki kofukama liboso ya Eliya mpe abondelaki ye: — Moto na Nzambe, tika ete bomoi na ngai mpe bomoi ya basali na yo, bato tuku mitano oyo, ezala na motuya na miso na yo!
So the king sent a third captain with his fifty men. And the third captain went up, fell on his knees before Elijah, and begged him, “Man of God, may my life and the lives of these fifty servants please be precious in your sight.
14 Nayebi ete moto ekitaki wuta na likolo mpe ezikisaki bakonzi nyonso mibale ya basoda elongo na basoda na bango oyo bayaki liboso; kasi sik’oyo, tika ete bomoi na ngai mpe bomoi ya bato na ngai tuku mitano ezala na motuya na miso na yo!
Behold, fire has come down from heaven and consumed the first two captains of fifty, with all their men. But now may my life be precious in your sight.”
15 Anjelu ya Yawe alobaki na Eliya: — Kende na ye nzela moko; kobanga ye te. Bongo Eliya atelemaki mpe akendeki na ye nzela moko kino epai ya mokonzi.
Then the angel of the LORD said to Elijah, “Go down with him. Do not be afraid of him.” So Elijah got up and went down with him to the king.
16 Alobaki na mokonzi: Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: « Boni, Nzambe azali lisusu te na Isalaele mpo ete otinda bato kotuna epai ya Bala-Zebubi, nzambe ya Ekroni? Lokola osali bongo, okokita lisusu te na mbeto oyo olali, okokufa solo. »
And Elijah said to King Ahaziah, “This is what the LORD says: Is there really no God in Israel for you to inquire of His word? Is that why you have sent messengers to inquire of Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron? Therefore you will not get up from the bed on which you are lying. You will surely die.”
17 Mokonzi Akazia akufaki kolanda liloba oyo Yawe alobaki na nzela ya Eliya. Lokola mokonzi Akazia azalaki na mwana te, ndeko na ye ya mobali Yorami akitanaki na ye na bokonzi na tango Yorami, mwana mobali ya Jozafati, mokonzi ya Yuda, akokisaki mibu mibale na bokonzi.
So Ahaziah died according to the word of the LORD that Elijah had spoken. And since he had no son, Jehoram succeeded him in the second year of the reign of Jehoram son of Jehoshaphat over Judah.
18 Makambo mosusu oyo etali bokonzi ya Akazia mpe misala oyo asalaki ekomama kati na buku ya masolo ya bakonzi ya Isalaele.
As for the rest of the acts of Ahaziah, along with his accomplishments, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel?
