2 Bakonzi 4
1 Mwasi moko kati na basi ya bayekoli ya basakoli abondelaki Elize: — Mosali na yo, mobali na ngai, akufa. Oyebi malamu ete azalaki kotosa Yawe. Kasi moto oyo adefisaki ye niongo ayei mpo na kozwa bana na ngai mibale ya mibali mpo ete bakoma bawumbu na ye.
And one of the wives of the sons of the prophets cried to Elisaie, saying, Your servant my husband is dead; and you know that your servant feared the Lord: and the creditor is come to take my two sons to be his servants.
2 Elize azongiselaki ye: — Ndenge nini nakoki kosunga yo? Yebisa ngai eloko oyo ozali na yango kati na ndako na yo. Azongisaki: — Mwasi mowumbu na yo azali na eloko moko te, longola kaka mwa mafuta.
And Elisaie said, What shall I do for you? tell me what you have in the house. And she said, Your servant has nothing in the house, except oil wherewith I anoint myself.
3 Elize alobaki: — Kende kosenga na baninga na yo nyonso bambeki ya pamba, kosenga moke te.
And he said to her, Go, borrow for yourself vessels without of all your neighbors, [even] empty vessels; borrow not a few.
4 Sima, zonga na ndako na yo, kanga ekuke sima na yo elongo na bana na yo ya mibali; sopa mafuta kati na mbeki moko na moko, mpe tia pembeni mbeki oyo etondi.
And you shall go in and shut the door upon you and upon your sons, and you shall pour forth into these vessels, and remove that which is filled.
5 Atikaki Elize mpe akangaki ekuke sima na ye elongo na bana na ye ya mibali. Bana na ye bazalaki kopesa ye bambeki, mpe azalaki kotondisa yango na mafuta.
And she departed from him, and shut the door upon herself and upon her sons: they brought the vessels near to her, and she poured in until the vessels were filled.
6 Tango bambeki nyonso etondaki, alobaki na moko kati na bana na ye ya mibali: — Pesa ngai lisusu mbeki moko. Kasi mwana yango azongiselaki ye: — Bambeki nyonso esili. Kaka na tango yango, mafuta etikaki kobima.
And she said to her sons, Bring me yet a vessel. And they said to her, There is not a vessel more. And the oil stayed.
7 Mwasi yango akendeki koyebisa moto na Nzambe. Mpe moto na Nzambe alobaki na ye: — Kende, teka mafuta yango mpe futa niongo na yo; bongo, yo elongo na bana na yo ya mibali, bokobika na oyo ekotikala.
And she came and told the man of God: and Elisaie said, Go, and sell the oil, and you shall pay your debts, and you and your sons shall live of the remaining oil.
8 Mokolo moko, Elize akendeki na Sunemi. Mpe kuna, mwasi moko ya bomengo atungisaki ye mpo na kosenga na ye ete andima kolia na ndako na ye. Boye, tango nyonso Elize azalaki kolekela na Sunami, azalaki kotelema na ndako ya mwasi yango mpo na kolia.
And a day came, when Elisaie passed over to Soman, and [there was] a great lady there, and she constrained him to eat bread: and it came to pass as often as he went into [the city, that] he turned aside to eat there.
9 Mwasi yango alobaki na mobali na ye: « Nayebi ete moto oyo ayaka mbala mingi epai na biso azali mobulami ya Nzambe.
And the woman said to her husband, See now, I know that this [is] a holy man of God who comes over continually to us.
10 Nabondeli yo, tika ete tobongisela ye shambre ya moke na likolo ya ndako mpe totia kati na yango mbeto, mesa, kiti mpe mwinda. Boye, tango nyonso akoya epai na biso, akoki kovanda kuna. »
Let us now make for him an upper chamber, a small place; and let us put there for him a bed, and a table, and a stool, and a candlestick: and it shall come to pass that when he comes in to us, he shall turn in there.
11 Mokolo moko, Elize ayaki na Sunami, amataki na shambre na ye mpe alalaki kuna.
And a day came, and he went in there, and turned aside into the upper chamber, and lay there.
12 Bongo alobaki na mosali na ye, Geazi: « Benga mwasi oyo ya Sunami. » Geazi abengaki mwasi ya Sunami, mpe mwasi yango ayaki kotelema liboso ya Elize.
And he said to Giezi his servant, Call me this Somanite. and he called her, and she stood before him.
13 Elize alobaki na Geazi: — Loba na ye: « Omitungisi mingi mpo na biso. Eloko nini tokoki sik’oyo kosalela yo? Tolobela yo epai ya mokonzi to epai ya mokonzi ya basoda? » Mwasi ya Sunami azongisaki: — Navandaka na kimia kati na bato na ngai.
And he said to him, Say now to her, Behold, you have taken all this trouble for us; what should I do for you? Hast you any request [to make] to the king, or to the captain of the host? And she said, I dwell in the midst of my people.
14 Elize atunaki mosali na ye, Geazi: — Eloko nini tokoki kosala mpo na ye? Geazi azongisaki: — Azali na mwana te, mpe mobali na ye azali mobange.
And he said to Giezi, What must we do for her? and Giezi his servant said, Indeed she has no son, and her husband [is] old.
15 Elize alobaki: — Benga ye! Geazi abengaki ye, mpe ayaki kotelema na ekuke.
And he called her, and she stood by the door.
16 Elize alobaki: — Na mobu oyo ekoya, na eleko oyo, maboko na yo ekosimba mwana mobali. Mwasi ya Sunami agangaki: — Te, nkolo na ngai, moto na Nzambe, kopesa na ngai mwasi mosali na yo elikya ya lokuta te!
And Elisaie said to her, At this time [next year], as the season [is], you [shall be] alive, and embrace a son. And she said, Nay, my lord, do not lie to your servant.
17 Nzokande, mwasi ya Sunami akomaki na zemi. Mpe na mobu oyo elandaki, na eleko yango kaka, abotaki mwana mobali, ndenge kaka Elize alobaki na ye.
And the woman conceived, and bore a son at the very time, as the season was, being alive, as Elisaie said to her.
18 Mwana akolaki. Mokolo moko, mwana akendeki epai ya tata na ye, oyo azalaki elongo na babuki mbuma.
And the child grew: and it came to pass when he went out to his father to the reapers,
19 Alobaki na tata na ye: — Moto pasi! Moto pasi! Tata na ye alobaki na mosali moko: — Zongisa ye epai ya mama na ye!
that he said to his father, My head, my head. and [his father] said to a servant, carry him to his mother.
20 Mosali amemaki ye mpe akomisaki ye epai ya mama na ye. Mwana mobali avandaki na makolo ya mama na ye kino na midi mpe, na sima, akufaki.
And he carried him to his mother, and he lay upon her knees till noon, and died.
21 Mama na ye amataki na shambre ya mosakoli, alalisaki ye na mbeto ya moto na Nzambe, akangaki ekuke mpe abimaki.
And she carried him up and laid him on the bed of the man of god; and she shut the door upon him, and went out.
22 Bongo abengaki mobali na ye mpe alobaki na ye: — Nabondeli yo, tindela ngai elenge moko kati na basali mpe ane moko ya mwasi, mpo ete nakende noki epai ya moto na Nzambe mpe nazonga mbala moko.
And she called her husband, and said, Send now for me one of the young men, and one of the asses, and I will ride quickly to the man of God, and return.
23 Mobali na ye atunaki: — Mpo na nini olingi kokende epai na ye lelo? Lelo ezali ebandeli ya sanza te! Ezali mpe mokolo ya Saba te! Azongisaki: — Komitungisa te! Nyonso ezali malamu.
And he said, Why are you going to him today? It is neither new moon, nor the Sabbath. And she said, [It is] well.
24 Mwasi ya Sunami abongisaki ane mpe alobaki na elenge mosali na ye: « Tokeyi! Tambolisa ane; kotelema na nzela te soki nalobi na yo te. »
And she saddled the ass, and said to her servant, Be quick, proceed: spare not on my account to ride, unless I shall tell you. Go, and you shall proceed, and come to the man of God to mount Carmel.
25 Boye, akendeki mpe akomaki na ngomba Karimeli epai wapi moto na Nzambe azalaki kovanda. Tango Elize amonaki ye na mosika, alobaki na mosali na ye, Geazi: — Tala! Ezali mwasi ya Sunami!
And she rode and came to the man of God to the mountain: and it came to pass when Elisaie saw her coming, that he said to Giezi his servant, See now, that Somanite comes.
26 Nabondeli yo, pota mbangu sik’oyo mpo na kokutana na ye, mpe tuna ye: « Boni, kimia ezali? Ozali malamu? Mobali na yo azali malamu? Mwana na yo azali malamu? » Azongisaki: — Nyonso ezali malamu.
Now run to meet her, and you shall say, [Is it] well with you? [is it] well with your husband? [is it] well with the child? and she said, [It is] well.
27 Boye akobaki nzela na ye kino akomaki na ngomba, epai ya moto na Nzambe. Mpe amibwakaki na makolo na ye. Geazi apusanaki mpo na kolongola ye na makolo ya Elize, kasi moto na Nzambe alobaki: — Tika ye bongo! Azali na pasi makasi kati na motema na ye, kasi Yawe abombeli ngai yango mpe atalisi ngai te tina na yango.
And she came to Elisaie to the mountain, and laid hold of his feet; and Giezi drew near to thrust her away. And Elisaie said, Let her alone, for her soul [is] much grieved in her, and the Lord has hidden [it] from me, and has not told [it] me.
28 Mwasi ya Sunami alobaki: — Boni, nasengaki mwana epai ya nkolo na ngai? Te! Kutu, nalobaki na yo: « Kopesa ngai elikya ya lokuta te! »
And she said, Did I ask a son of my lord? For did I not say, Do not deal deceitfully with me?
29 Elize alobaki na Geazi: — Lata mokaba na yo, kamata nzete na ngai na loboko na yo mpe kende. Soki okutani na moto na nzela, kopesa ye mbote te. Mpe soki moto apesi yo mbote, kozongisa te. Okotia nzete na ngai na elongi ya mwana mobali.
And Elisaie said to Giezi, Gird up your loins, and take my staff in your hand, and go: if you meet any man, you shall not salute him, and if a man salute you you shall not answer him: and you shall lay my staff on the child's face.
30 Kasi mama ya mwana alobaki: — Na Kombo na Yawe mpe na kombo na yo, nakotika yo te. Boye Elize atelemaki mpe alandaki mwasi ya Sunami.
And the mother of the child said, [As] the Lord lives and [as] your soul lives, I will not leave you. And Elisaie arose, and went after her.
31 Geazi akendeki liboso na bango mpe atiaki nzete na elongi ya mwana mobali, kasi ata eloko moko te esalemaki, ezala mongongo to koningana. Geazi azongaki mpo na kokutana na Elize mpe alobaki na ye: — Mwana alamuki te.
And Giezi went on before her, and laid his staff on the child's face: but there was neither voice nor any hearing. So he returned to meet him, and told him, saying, The child is not awaked.
32 Tango Elize akomaki na ndako, akutaki ebembe ya mwana mobali elali na mbeto na ye.
And Elisaie went into the house, and, behold, the dead child was laid upon his bed.
33 Elize akotaki, amikangelaki na shambre elongo na mwana mobali, mpe asambelaki Yawe.
And Elisaie went into the house, and shut the door upon themselves, the two, and prayed to the Lord.
34 Bongo Elize amataki na mbeto mpe alalelaki mwana mobali, atutisaki monoko na ye na monoko ya mwana, miso na ye na miso ya mwana, mpe maboko na ye na maboko ya mwana. Lokola amitandaki bongo na likolo ya mwana mobali, nzoto ya mwana mobali ekomaki moto.
And he went up, and lay upon the child, and put his mouth upon his mouth, and his eyes upon his eyes, and his hands upon his hands; and bowed himself upon him, and the flesh of the child grew warm.
35 Elize alongwaki, atambolaki na bangambo nyonso ya shambre; bongo amataki lisusu na mbeto mpe amitandaki na likolo ya mwana. Mbala moko, mwana akosolaki mbala sambo mpe afungolaki miso.
And he returned, and walked up and down in the house: and he went up, and bowed himself on the child seven times; and the child opened his eyes.
36 Elize abengaki Geazi mpe alobaki na ye: — Benga mwasi ya Sunami! Geazi abengaki ye. Tango ayaki epai ya Elize, Elize alobaki: — Zwa mwana na yo!
And Elisaie cried out to Giezi, and said, Call this Somanite. So he called her, and she came in to him: and Elisaie said, Take your son.
37 Mwasi ya Sunami apusanaki, akweyaki na makolo ya Elize mpe agumbamaki kino na se; bongo azwaki mwana na ye mpe abimaki.
And the woman went in, and fell at his feet, and did obeisance [bowing] to the ground; and she took her son, and went out.
38 Elize azongaki na Giligali. Nzokande etuka yango ezalaki kati na nzala makasi. Wana bayekoli ya basakoli bavandaki na mayangani elongo na Elize, alobaki na mosali na ye: « Tia nzungu ya monene na moto mpe lamba elubu mpo na basakoli oyo. »
And Elisaie returned to Galgala: and a famine [was] in the land; and the sons of the prophets sat before him: and Elisaie said to his servant, Set on the great pot, and boil pottage for the sons of the prophets.
39 Moko kati na bango akendeki na bilanga mpo na kobuka ndunda, mpe amonaki nzete ya vino ya zamba. Abukaki na nzete yango ndambo ya bakolokente mpe atondisaki yango na elamba na ye. Tango azongaki, akataki yango mike-mike mpe atiaki yango kati na nzungu ya elubu; moto moko te ayebaki soki ezali nini.
And he went out into the field to gather herbs, and found a vine in the field, and gathered of it wild gourds, his garment full; and he cast it into the caldron of pottage, for they knew [them] not.
40 Bakabolelaki bato elubu. Tango kaka babandaki kolia yango, bagangaki: — Moto na Nzambe, kufa ezali kati na nzungu oyo! Mpe bakokaki lisusu te kolia yango.
And he poured it out for the men to eat: and it came to pass, when they were eating of the pottage, that behold! they cried out, and said, [There is] death in the pot, O man of God. And they could not eat.
41 Elize alobaki: — Bomemela ngai farine! Atiaki farine kati na nzungu mpe alobaki: — Bokabolela yango bato mpo ete balia. Mpe kati na elubu oyo ezalaki kati na nzungu, ezalaki lisusu na eloko moko te ya mabe.
And he said, Take meal, and cast it into the pot. And Elisaie said to his servant Giezi, Pour out for the people, and let them eat. And there was no longer there any hurtful thing in the pot.
42 Moto moko awutaki na Bala-Shalisha, amemelaki moto na Nzambe mapa tuku mibale ya orje oyo ewutaki na bambuma ya liboso ya elanga, elongo na saki moko ya bambuma ya ble. Elize alobaki na mosali na ye: — Pesa yango na bato mpo ete balia!
And there came a man over from Baetharisa, and brought to the man of God twenty barley loaves and cakes of figs, of the first fruits. And he said, Give to the people, and let them eat.
43 Mosali na ye atunaki: — Nakokoka ndenge nini kokabola mapa oyo na bato nkama moko? Elize alobaki lisusu: — Kabolela yango bato nyonso mpo ete balia, pamba te tala Liloba oyo Yawe alobi: « Bakolia, bakotonda mpe bakotika mosusu. »
And his servant said, Why should I set this before a hundred men? and he said, Give to the people, and let them eat; for thus says the Lord, They shall eat and leave.
44 Boye mosali akabolelaki bango mapa yango. Baliaki mpe batikaki mosusu, kolanda Liloba na Yawe.
And they ate and left, according to the word of the Lord.
