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 a certain woman of the wives of the sons of the prophets hath cried unto Elisha, saying, 'Thy servant, my husband, is dead, and thou hast known that thy servant was fearing Jehovah, and the lender hath come to take my two children to him for 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 Elisha saith unto her, 'What do I do for thee? declare to me, what hast thou in the house?' and she saith, 'Thy maid-servant hath nothing in the house except a pot of oil.'

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

And he saith, 'Go, ask for thee vessels from without, from all thy neighbours — empty vessels — let [them] not be 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 thou hast entered, and shut the door upon thee, and upon thy sons, and hast poured out into all these vessels, and the full ones thou dost remove.'

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 goeth from him, and shutteth the door upon her, and upon her sons; they are bringing nigh unto her, and she is pouring 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 cometh to pass, at the filling of the vessels, that she saith unto her son, 'Bring nigh unto me a vessel more,' and he saith unto her, 'There is not a vessel more;' and the oil stayeth.

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 cometh and declareth to the man of God, and he saith, 'Go, sell the oil, and repay thy loan; and thou [and] thy sons do live of the rest.'

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 the day cometh that Elisha passeth over unto Shunem, and there [is] a great woman, and she layeth hold on him to eat bread, and it cometh to pass, at the time of his passing over, he turneth aside 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 saith unto her husband, 'Lo, I pray thee, I have known that a holy man of God he is, passing over 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, I pray thee, a little upper chamber of the wall, and we set for him there a bed, and a table, and a high seat, and a candlestick; and it hath been, in his coming in unto us, he doth turn aside thither.'

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

And the day cometh, that he cometh in thither, and turneth aside unto the upper chamber, and lieth 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 saith unto Gehazi his young man, 'Call for this Shunammite;' and he calleth for her, and she standeth 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 saith to him, 'Say, I pray thee, unto her, Lo, thou hast troubled thyself concerning us with all this trouble; what — to do for thee? is it to speak for thee unto the king, or unto the head of the host?' and she saith, 'In the midst of my people I am dwelling.'

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 saith, 'And what — to do for her?' and Gehazi saith, 'Verily she hath no son, and her husband [is] aged.'

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

And he saith, 'Call for her;' and he calleth for her, and she standeth at the opening,

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 saith, 'At this season, according to the time of life, thou art embracing a son;' and she saith, 'Nay, my lord, O man of God, do not lie unto thy maid-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 conceiveth and beareth a son, at this season, according to the time of life, that Elisha spake of unto her.

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

And the lad groweth, and the day cometh that he goeth out unto his father, unto 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 saith unto his father, 'My head, my head;' and he saith unto the young man, 'Bear him unto 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 beareth him, and bringeth him in unto his mother, and he sitteth on her knees till the noon, and dieth.

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

And she goeth up, and layeth him on the bed of the man of God, and shutteth [the door] upon him, and goeth 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 calleth unto her husband, and saith, 'Send, I pray thee, to me, one of the young men, and one of the asses, and I run unto 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 saith, 'Wherefore art thou going unto him to-day? — neither new moon nor sabbath!' and she saith, 'Peace [to thee]!'

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 saddleth the ass, and saith unto her young man, 'Lead, and go, do not restrain riding for me, except I have said [so] to 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!

And she goeth, and cometh in unto the man of God, unto the hill of Carmel, and it cometh to pass, at the man of God's seeing her from over-against, that he saith unto Gehazi his young man, 'Lo, this Shunammite;

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, I pray thee, to meet her, and say to her, Is there peace to thee? is there peace to thy husband? is there peace to the lad?' and she saith, 'Peace.'

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 cometh in unto the man of God, unto the hill, and layeth hold on his feet, and Gehazi cometh nigh to thrust her away, and the man of God saith, 'Let her alone, for her soul [is] bitter to her, and Jehovah hath hidden [it] from me, and hath not declared [it] to 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 saith, '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.

And he saith to Gehazi, 'Gird up thy loins, and take my staff in thy hand, and go; when thou dost meet a man, thou dost not salute him; and when a man doth salute thee, thou dost not answer him; and thou hast laid my staff on the face of the youth.'

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 youth saith, 'Jehovah liveth, and thy soul liveth — if I leave thee;' and he riseth and goeth 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 Gehazi hath passed on before them, and layeth the staff on the face of the youth, and there is no voice, and there is no attention, and he turneth back to meet him, and declareth to him, saying, 'The youth hath not awaked.'

32 Tango Elize akomaki na ndako, akutaki ebembe ya mwana mobali elali na mbeto na ye.

And Elisha cometh in to the house, and lo, the youth is dead, laid on his bed,

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

and he goeth in and shutteth the door upon them both, and prayeth unto Jehovah.

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 goeth up, and lieth down on the lad, and putteth his mouth on his mouth, and his eyes on his eyes, and his hands on his hands, and stretcheth himself upon him, and the flesh of the lad becometh 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 turneth back and walketh in the house, once hither and once thither, and goeth up and stretcheth himself upon him, and the youth sneezeth till seven times, and the youth openeth 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 calleth unto Gehazi, and saith, 'Call unto this Shunammite;' and he calleth her, and she cometh in unto him, and he saith, 'Lift 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.

And she goeth in, and falleth at his feet, and boweth herself to the earth, and lifteth up her son, and goeth 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 hath turned back to Gilgal, and the famine [is] in the land, and the sons of the prophets are sitting before him, and he saith to his young man, '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 goeth out unto the field to gather herbs, and findeth a vine of the field, and gathereth of it gourds of the field — the fulness of his garment — and cometh in and splitteth [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.

and they pour out for the men to eat, and it cometh to pass at their eating of the pottage, that they have cried out, and say, 'Death [is] in the pot, O man of God!' and they have not been able to 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 saith, 'Then bring ye meal;' and he casteth into the pot, and saith, 'Pour out for the people, and they eat;' and there was no evil 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 a man hath come from Baal-Shalishah, and bringeth in to the man of God bread of first-fruits, twenty loaves of barley, and full ears of corn in its husk, and he saith, 'Give to the people, and they 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 minister saith, 'What — do I give this before a hundred men?' and he saith, 'Give to the people, and they eat, for thus said Jehovah, Eat and leave;'

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

and he giveth before them, and they eat and leave, according to the word of Jehovah.
