2 Bakonzi 6
1 Mokolo moko, bayekoli ya basakoli balobaki na Elize: — Tala! Esika oyo tosanganaka elongo na yo ekomi moke mingi mpo na biso.
And the sons of the prophets said to Elisha, Behold now, the place where we dwell before thee is too strait for us.
2 Pesa biso nzela ya kokende na ebale Yordani epai wapi moko na moko kati na biso akoki kozwa nzete mpo na kotonga kuna esika ya kovanda. Elize alobaki na bango: — Bokende!
Let us go, we pray thee, to the Jordan, and take thence every man a beam, and let us make us a place there, where we may dwell. And he said, Go.
3 Moko kati na bango alobaki: — Okosepela te kokende elongo na basali na yo? Elize azongisaki: — Nandimi, nakokende.
And one said, Consent, I pray thee, to go with thy servants. And he said, I will go.
4 Boye akendeki elongo na bango. Bakendeki na ebale Yordani mpe babandaki kokata banzete.
And he went with them. And they came to the Jordan and cut down the trees.
5 Wana moko kati na bango azalaki kokata nzete, ebende ya epasola na ye ekweyaki na mayi. Agangaki: — Ah, nkolo na ngai! Nadefaki yango kodefa!
And it came to pass as one was felling a beam, that the iron fell into the water; and he cried and said, Alas, master, and it was borrowed!
6 Moto na Nzambe atunaki: — Ekweyaki na esika nini? Sima na ye kolakisa ye esika yango, Elize akataki eteni ya nzete mpe abwakaki yango na esika oyo ebende ya epasola ekweyaki. Mpe, na mbala moko, eteni ya nzete yango ematisaki ebende na likolo ya mayi, mpe ebende ekomaki kotepa.
And the man of God said, Where did it fall? And he shewed him the place. And he cut down a stick, and cast it in thither, and made the iron to swim.
7 Elize alobaki: — Kamata yango! Boye, mosali wana asembolaki loboko na ye mpe akamataki yango.
And he said, Take [it] up to thee. And he put out his hand and took it.
8 Mokonzi ya Siri azalaki kobundisa bana ya Isalaele. Asololaki na basali na ye mpe alobaki: « Nakotia molako na ngai na esika songolo to pakala. »
And the king of Syria warred against Israel; and he took counsel with his servants, saying, In such and such a place [shall be] my camp.
9 Mbala moko, moto na Nzambe atindaki maloba oyo epai ya mokonzi ya Isalaele: « Keba! Koleka na esika wana te, pamba te bato ya Siri bazali kokita kuna. »
And the man of God sent to the king of Israel, saying, Beware that thou pass not such a place, for thither the Syrians are come down.
10 Mokonzi ya Isalaele atindaki bato kokende kononga esika oyo moto na Nzambe alobelaki. Mbala ebele, Elize azalaki kokebisa mokonzi ete azala na bokebi na bisika ya ndenge wana; mpe mbala ebele, mokonzi ya Isalaele azalaki komibikisa na motambo ya bato ya Siri.
And the king of Israel sent to the place which the man of God told him and warned him of, and he was on his guard there. [That took place] not once, nor twice.
11 Suka na suka, mokonzi ya Siri asilikaki makasi, abengisaki bakalaka na ye mpe atunaki bango: — Bokoki te koyebisa ngai nani kati na biso azali na ngambo ya mokonzi ya Isalaele?
And the heart of the king of Syria was troubled because of this thing; and he called his servants, and said to them, Will ye not shew me which of us is for the king of Israel?
12 Moko kati na bakalaka na ye alobaki: — Mokonzi, nkolo na ngai, moko te kati na biso. Ezali nde mosakoli Elize oyo azali kati na Isalaele; ye nde ayebaka mpe ayebisaka mokonzi ya Isalaele ata makambo oyo olobaka kati na shambre na yo ya kolala.
And one of his servants said, None, my lord, O king; but Elisha, the prophet that is in Israel, tells the king of Israel the words that thou speakest in thy bedchamber.
13 Mokonzi apesaki mitindo: — Bokende koluka esika oyo azali mpo ete natinda bato mpo na kokanga ye. Bayaki koyebisa ye: — Azali na Dotani.
And he said, Go and see where he is, and I will send and fetch him. And it was told him saying, Behold, he is in Dothan.
14 Bongo mokonzi atindaki kuna bampunda elongo na bashar mpe basoda ebele. Bakendeki kuna na butu mpe bazingelaki engumba.
And he sent thither horses and chariots, and a great host, and they came by night and surrounded the city.
15 Na tongo-tongo ya mokolo oyo elandaki, tango mosali ya moto na Nzambe alamukaki mpe abimaki, amonaki ete mampinga elongo na bampunda mpe bashar bazingelaki engumba. Mosali yango alobaki na Elize: — Oh nkolo na ngai, eyindi na libanda! Tokosala nini!
And when the attendant of the man of God rose early and went forth, behold, an army surrounded the city, with horses and chariots. And his servant said to him, Alas, my master! how shall we do?
16 Mosakoli azongisaki: — Kobanga te, pamba te ba-oyo bazali elongo na biso bazali ebele koleka ba-oyo bazali elongo na bango.
And he said, Fear not, for they that are with us are more than they that are with them.
17 Elize asambelaki: — Oh Yawe, fungola ye miso mpo ete amona! Yawe afungolaki miso ya mosali, mpe mosali atalaki; amonaki bangomba mike etonda na bampunda mpe bashar ya moto zingazinga ya Elize.
And Elisha prayed and said, Jehovah, I pray thee, open his eyes that he may see. And Jehovah opened the eyes of the young man, and he saw; and, behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire round about Elisha.
18 Lokola monguna azalaki kopusana pene na ye, Elize asambelaki Yawe: — Boma ekolo oyo miso! Mpe Yawe abomaki bango miso, ndenge kaka Elize asengaki.
And they came down to him; and Elisha prayed to Jehovah and said, Smite this nation, I pray thee, with blindness. And he smote them with blindness according to the word of Elisha.
19 Elize alobaki na bango: — Nzela ezali awa te! Engumba mpe ezali awa te! Bolanda ngai, mpe nakomema bino epai ya moto oyo bozali koluka. Elize amemaki bango na Samari.
And Elisha said to them, This is not the way, neither is this the city: follow me, and I will bring you to the man whom ye seek. And he led them to Samaria.
20 Tango bakotaki na engumba, Elize asambelaki lisusu: — Yawe, fungola miso ya bato oyo mpo ete bamona. Yawe afungolaki miso na bango, mpe bamonaki ete bazali kati na engumba Samari.
And it came to pass when they entered into Samaria, that Elisha said, Jehovah, open the eyes of these [men] that they may see. And Jehovah opened their eyes, and they saw, and behold, they were in the midst of Samaria.
21 Tango mokonzi ya Isalaele amonaki bango, atunaki Elize: — Tata na ngai, naboma bango? Naboma bango?
And the king of Israel said to Elisha, when he saw them, My father, shall I smite? shall I smite [them]?
22 Elize azongisaki: — Koboma bango te! Boni, okoboma solo bato oyo okangi, na nzela ya mopanga na yo to ya tolotolo na yo? Pesa bango nde bilei mpe mayi ya komela mpo ete balia, bamela mpe bazonga epai ya mokonzi na bango.
And he said, Thou shalt not smite [them]: wouldest thou smite those whom thou hast taken captive with thy sword and with thy bow? Set bread and water before them, that they may eat and drink, and go to their master.
23 Boye abongisaki feti monene mpo na bango. Tango basilisaki kolia mpe komela, azongisaki bango. Mpe bazongaki epai ya mokonzi na bango. Wuta tango yango, mampinga ya Siri batikaki kokota mpo na kobundisa Isalaele.
And he prepared a great repast for them, and they ate and drank; and he sent them away, and they went to their master. And the bands of Syria came no more into the land of Israel.
24 Sima na tango, Beni-Adadi, mokonzi ya Siri, asangisaki mampinga na ye nyonso mpe akendeki kozingela engumba Samari.
And it came to pass after this that Ben-Hadad king of Syria gathered all his army, and went up and besieged Samaria.
25 Lokola bazingelaki Samari tango molayi, nzala makasi ekotaki kati na engumba kino moto moko ya ane ekomaki kotekama na motuya ya mbongo ya bibende ya palata, tuku mwambe; mpe bagrame nkama mibale na tuku mitano ya nyei ekawuka ya ebenga ekomaki kotekama na motuya ya mbongo ya bibende ya palata, mitano.
And there was a great famine in Samaria; and behold, they besieged it, until an ass's head was worth eighty silver-pieces, and the fourth part of a cab of dove's dung five silver-pieces.
26 Mokolo moko, wana mokonzi ya Isalaele azalaki koleka na likolo ya mir ya lopango, mwasi moko agangaki epai na ye: — Mokonzi, nkolo na ngai, sunga ngai!
And it came to pass as the king of Israel was passing by upon the wall, there cried a woman to him saying, Help, my lord O king!
27 Mokonzi azongisaki: — Soki Yawe asungi yo te, esika nini ngai nakozwa lisungi mpo na kosunga yo? Nazangi vino to ble ya kopesa yo.
And he said, If Jehovah do not help thee, whence should I help thee? Out of the threshing-floor, or out of the winepress?
28 Nzokande, mokonzi atunaki ye lisusu: — Likambo nini ekomeli yo? Mwasi azongisaki: — Mwasi wana alobaki na ngai: « Pesa mwana na yo ya mobali mpo ete tolia ye lelo, bongo lobi, tokolia mwana na ngai. »
And the king said to her, What aileth thee? And she said, This woman said to me, Give thy son, that we may eat him to-day, and we will eat my son to-morrow.
29 Boye tolambaki mwana na ngai ya mobali mpe toliaki ye. Mokolo oyo elandaki, nalobaki na ye: « Pesa mwana na yo ya mobali mpo ete tolia ye, » kasi abombaki ye.
And we boiled my son, and ate him: and I said to her on the next day, Give thy son, that we may eat him; and she has hidden her son.
30 Tango mokonzi ayokaki maloba ya mwasi oyo, apasolaki bilamba na ye. Lokola atambolaki lisusu na likolo ya mir ya lopango, bato bamonaki ete, na se ya bilamba na ye ya bokonzi, alataki saki na nzoto na ye.
And it came to pass when the king heard the words of the woman, that he rent his garments; and he was passing by upon the wall, and the people looked, and behold, he had sackcloth within upon his flesh.
31 Mokonzi alobaki: « Tika ete Nzambe apesa ngai etumbu ya makasi soki kaka moto ya Elize, mwana mobali ya Shafati, etikali na likolo ya mapeka na ye. »
And he said, God do so, and more also to me, if the head of Elisha the son of Shaphat shall remain on him this day!
32 Nzokande, Elize avandaki kati na ndako na ye, elongo na bakambi ya engumba. Mokonzi atindaki ntoma moko epai ya Elize. Kasi liboso ete akoma, Elize alobaki na bakambi ya engumba: « Bozali komona te ete mobomi oyo atindi moto mpo na koya kokata ngai moto? Bosala keba! Tango kaka bokomona ye, bokanga ekuke liboso na ye mpe botindika ye na yango na sima! Boyoka! Wana ezali makelele ya makolo ya nkolo na ye te, oyo ezali koyokana sima na ye? »
And Elisha sat in his house, and the elders sat with him. And [the king] sent a man before him. Before the messenger came to him, he himself said to the elders, Do ye see how this son of a murderer has sent to take away my head? See, when the messenger comes; shut the door, and keep him off with the door: is not the sound of his master's feet behind him?
33 Wana Elize azalaki nanu koloba, ntoma ya mokonzi akomaki mpe ayebisaki ye maloba ya mokonzi: « Pasi oyo nyonso ewuti epai ya Yawe! Nakozela lisusu nini kowuta na Ye? »
And while he yet talked with them, behold, the messenger came down to him. And [the king] said, Behold, this evil is of Jehovah: why should I wait for Jehovah any longer?
