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 sons of the prophet say to Elisha, “Now behold, the place where we are dwelling before you is too narrow 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!
please let us go to the Jordan, and we each take one beam from there, and we make a place there for ourselves to dwell there”; and he says, “Go.”
3 Moko kati na bango alobaki: — Okosepela te kokende elongo na basali na yo? Elize azongisaki: — Nandimi, nakokende.
And the one says, “Please be willing, and go with your servants”; and he says, “I go.”
4 Boye akendeki elongo na bango. Bakendeki na ebale Yordani mpe babandaki kokata banzete.
And he goes with them, and they come 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 comes to pass, the one is felling the beam, and the iron [ax head] has fallen into the water, and he cries and says, “Aah! My lord, for 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 says, “To where has it fallen?” And he shows him the place, and he cuts a stick, and casts [it] there, and causes the iron to swim,
7 Elize alobaki: — Kamata yango! Boye, mosali wana asembolaki loboko na ye mpe akamataki yango.
and says, “Raise [it] up for yourself”; and he puts forth his hand and takes 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 Aram has been fighting against Israel, and takes counsel with his servants, saying, “At such and such a place [is] my encamping.”
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 sends to the king of Israel, saying, “Take heed of passing by this place, for the Arameans are coming down there”;
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 sends to the place of which the man of God spoke to him, and warned him, and he is preserved there not [just] once and not [just] 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 Aram is tossed about concerning this thing, and he calls to his servants and says to them, “Do you not declare to me who 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 says, “No, my lord, O king, for Elisha the prophet, who [is] in Israel, declares to the king of Israel the words that you speak in the inner part of your bed-chamber.”
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 says, “Go and see where he [is], and I send and take him”; and it is declared to him, saying, “Behold—in Dothan.”
14 Bongo mokonzi atindaki kuna bampunda elongo na bashar mpe basoda ebele. Bakendeki kuna na butu mpe bazingelaki engumba.
And he sends horses and chariot, and a heavy force there, and they come in by night, and go around against 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 the servant of the man of God rises early, and goes out, and behold, a force is surrounding the city, and horse and chariot, and his young man says to him, “Aah! My lord, how do 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 says, “Do not fear, for more [are] they who [are] with us than they who [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 prays and says, “YHWH, please open his eyes, and he sees”; and YHWH opens the eyes of the young man, and he sees, and behold, the hill is full of horses and chariots of fire around 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 come down to it, and Elisha prays to YHWH and says, “Please strike this nation with blindness”; and He strikes 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 says to them, “This [is] not the way, nor [is] this the city; come after me, and I lead you to the man whom you seek”; and he leads 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 comes to pass, at their coming to Samaria, that Elisha says, “YHWH, open the eyes of these, and they see”; and YHWH opens their eyes, and they see, and behold, [they are] 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 says to Elisha at his seeing them, “My father, do I strike, do I strike?”
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 says, “You do not strike; are you striking those whom you have taken captive with your sword and with your bow? Set bread and water before them, and they eat, and drink, and go to their lord.”
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 prepares great provision for them, and they eat and drink, and he sends them away, and they go to their lord: and troops of Aram have not added to come into the land of Israel anymore.
24 Sima na tango, Beni-Adadi, mokonzi ya Siri, asangisaki mampinga na ye nyonso mpe akendeki kozingela engumba Samari.
And it comes to pass afterward, that Ben-Hadad king of Aram gathers all his camp, and goes up, and lays siege to 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 is a great famine in Samaria, and behold, they are laying siege to it, until the head of a donkey is at eighty pieces of silver, and a forth of the cab of dove’s dung at five pieces of silver.
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 comes to pass, the king of Israel is passing by on the wall, and a woman has cried to him, saying, “Save, 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 says, “YHWH does not save you—from where do I save you? Out of the threshing-floor or out of the wine-vat?”
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 says to her, “What is [troubling] you?” And she says, “This woman said to me, Give your son, and we eat him today, and we eat my son tomorrow;
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 boil my son and eat him, and I say to her on the next day, Give your son, and we eat him; and she hides 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 comes to pass, at the king’s hearing the words of the woman, that he tears his garments, and he is passing by on the wall, and the people see, and behold, the sackcloth [is] within on 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 says, “Thus God does to me and thus He adds, if the head of Elisha son of Shaphat remains 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 is sitting in his house, and the elderly are sitting with him, and [the king] sends a man from before him; before the messenger comes to him, even he himself said to the elderly, “Have you seen that this son of the murderer has sent [him] to turn aside my head? See, at the coming in of the messenger, shut the door, and you have held him fast at the door, is not the sound of the feet of his lord 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? »
He is yet speaking with them, and behold, the messenger is coming down to him, and he says, “Behold, this [is] the calamity from YHWH; why do I wait for YHWH anymore?”
