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.

Now there cried a certain woman of the wives of the sons of the prophets to Elisha, saying, Thy servant my husband is dead; and thou knowest that thy servant feared the LORD: and the creditor hath come to take to him my two sons to be bond-men.

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 Elisha said to her, What shall I do for thee? tell me, what hast thou in the house? And she said, Thy handmaid hath not any thing in the house, save a pot of oil.

3 Elize alobaki: — Kende kosenga na baninga na yo nyonso bambeki ya pamba, kosenga moke te.

Then he said, Go, borrow thee vessels abroad of all thy 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 when thou hast come in, thou shalt shut the door upon thee and upon thy sons, and shalt pour out into all those vessels, and thou shalt set aside that which is full.

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.

So she went from him, and shut the door upon her and upon her sons, who brought [the vessels] to her; and she poured out.

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 it came to pass, when the vessels were full, that she said to her son, Bring me yet a vessel. And he 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.

Then she came and told the man of God. And he said, Go, sell the oil, and pay thy debt, and live thou and thy children on the remainder.

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 it fell on a day, that Elisha passed to Shunem, where [was] a distinguished woman; and she constrained him to eat bread. And [so] it was, [that] as oft as he passed by, he turned in thither to eat bread.

9 Mwasi yango alobaki na mobali na ye: « Nayebi ete moto oyo ayaka mbala mingi epai na biso azali mobulami ya Nzambe.

And she said to her husband, Behold now, I perceive that this [is] a holy man of God, who passeth by us continually.

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 make a little chamber, I pray thee, on the wall; and let us set for him there a bed, and a table, and a stool, and a candlestick: and it shall be, when he cometh to us, that he shall turn in thither.

11 Mokolo moko, Elize ayaki na Sunami, amataki na shambre na ye mpe alalaki kuna.

And it fell on a day, that he came thither, and he turned into the 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 Gehazi his servant, Call this Shunamite. And when he had called her, 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, thou hast been careful for us with all this care; what [is] to be done for thee? wouldst thou be spoken for to the king, or to the captain of the host? And she answered, I dwell among my own 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, What then [is] to be done for her? And Gehazi answered, Verily she hath no child, and her husband is old.

15 Elize alobaki: — Benga ye! Geazi abengaki ye, mpe ayaki kotelema na ekuke.

And he said, Call her. And when he had called her, she stood in 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 he said, About this season, according to the time of life, thou shalt embrace a son. And she said, No, my lord, [thou] man of God, do not lie to thy handmaid.

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 that season that Elisha had said to her, according to the time of life.

18 Mwana akolaki. Mokolo moko, mwana akendeki epai ya tata na ye, oyo azalaki elongo na babuki mbuma.

And when the child was grown, it happened on a day, that 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!

And he said to his father, My head, my head. And he said to a lad, 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 when he had taken him, and brought him to his mother, he sat on her knees till noon, and [then] died.

21 Mama na ye amataki na shambre ya mosakoli, alalisaki ye na mbeto ya moto na Nzambe, akangaki ekuke mpe abimaki.

And she went up, and laid him on the bed of the man of God, and 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 to her husband, and said, Send me, I pray thee, one of the young men, and one of the asses, that I may run to the man of God, and come again.

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 wilt thou go to him to-day? [it is] neither new-moon, nor sabbath. And she said, [It shall be] 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. »

Then she saddled an ass, and said to her servant, Drive, and go forward; slack not [thy] riding for me, except I bid thee.

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!

So she went and came to the man of God to mount Carmel. And it came to pass, when the man of God saw her afar off, that he said to Gehazi his servant, Behold, [yonder is] that Shunamite:

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.

Run now, I pray thee, to meet her, and say to her, [Is it] well with thee? [Is it] well with thy husband? [Is it] well with the child? and she answered, [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 when she came to the man of God to the hill, she caught him by the feet: but Gehazi came near to thrust her away. And the man of God said, Let her alone; for her soul [is] sorrowful within her: and the LORD hath hid [it] from me, and hath not told 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! »

Then she said, Did I ask a son from my lord? did I not say, Do not deceive 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.

Then he said to Gehazi, Gird up thy loins and take my staff in thy hand, and go thy way: and if thou shalt meet any man, salute him not; and if any shall salute thee, answer him not again: and lay my staff upon the face of the child.

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 liveth, and [as] thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee. And he arose, and followed 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 Gehazi passed on before them, and laid the staff upon the face of the child; but [there was] neither voice, nor hearing. Wherefore he went again 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 when Elisha had come into the house, behold, the child was dead, [and] laid upon his bed.

33 Elize akotaki, amikangelaki na shambre elongo na mwana mobali, mpe asambelaki Yawe.

He went in therefore, and shut the door upon them both, 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 he stretched himself upon the child; and the flesh of the child became 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.

Then he returned, and walked in the house to and fro; and went up, and stretched himself upon him: and the child sneezed 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 he called Gehazi, and said, Call this Shunamite. So he called her. And when she had come in to him, he said, Take up thy son.

37 Mwasi ya Sunami apusanaki, akweyaki na makolo ya Elize mpe agumbamaki kino na se; bongo azwaki mwana na ye mpe abimaki.

Then she went in, and fell at his feet, and bowed herself to the ground, and took up 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 Elisha came again to Gilgal. And [there was] a dearth in the land; and the sons of the prophets [were] sitting before him: and he 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 one went out into the field to gather herbs, and found a wild vine, and gathered from it wild gourds his lap full, and came and shred [them] into the pot 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.

So they poured out for the men to eat. And it came to pass, as they were eating of the pottage, that they cried out, and said, O [thou] man of God, [there is] death in the pot. And they could not eat [of it].

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.

But he said, Then bring meal. And he cast [it] into the pot; and he said, Pour out for the people, that they may eat. And there was no harm 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 from Baal-shalisha, and brought the man of God bread of the first fruits, twenty loaves of barley, and full ears of corn in its husk. And he said, Give to the people, that they may 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 servitor said, What, should I set this before a hundred men? He said again, Give the people, that they may eat: for thus saith the LORD, They shall eat, and shall leave [of it].

44 Boye mosali akabolelaki bango mapa yango. Baliaki mpe batikaki mosusu, kolanda Liloba na Yawe.

So he set [it] before them, and they ate, and left [of it], according to the word of the LORD.
