2 Bakonzi 7
1 Elize alobaki: — Boyoka Liloba na Yawe! Tala makambo oyo Yawe alobi: « Lobi, na tango oyo, na ekuke ya Samari, bakoteka bakilo zomi na mibale ya farine na motuya ya mbongo moko ya ebende ya palata, mpe bakilo tuku mibale ya orje na motuya kaka wana. »
Then Elisha saide, Heare ye the worde of the Lord: thus saith the Lord, To morowe this time a measure of fine floure shalbe solde for a shekel, and two measures of barley for a shekel in the gate of Samaria.
2 Mokonzi ya basoda, oyo mokonzi ya Isalaele azalaki kotiela motema alobaki na moto na Nzambe: — Tala, ata soki Yawe afungoli maninisa ya Lola, likambo ya boye ekoki penza kosalema? Elize azongisaki: — Okomona yango na miso na yo, kasi okolia yango te.
Then a prince, on whose hande the King leaned, answered the man of God, and saide, Though the Lord would make windowes in the heauen, could this thing come to passe? And he said, Beholde, thou shalt see it with thine eyes, but thou shalt not eate thereof.
3 Na ekuke ya engumba, ezalaki na bato minei na maba. Bazalaki kolobana bango na bango: « Mpo na nini totikala awa kino tokokufa?
Nowe there were foure leprous men at the entring in of the gate: and they saide one to an other, Why sitte we here vntill we die?
4 Soki tolobi: ‹ Tokota na engumba, › nzala makasi ezali kuna, tokokufa. Soki mpe totikali awa, tokokufa kaka. Boye, tika ete tokende na molako ya bato ya Siri mpe tomipesa epai na bango. Soki bayambi biso, tobiki; kasi soki babomi biso, tokufi kaka. »
If we say, We will enter into the citie, the famine is in the citie, and we shall die there: and if we sit here, we dye also. Nowe therefore come, and let vs fall into the campe of the Aramites: if they saue our liues, we shall liue: and if they kill vs, we are but dead.
5 Na pokwa, batelemaki mpe bakendeki na molako ya bato ya Siri. Tango bakomaki na mondelo ya molako, bamonaki ata moto moko te,
So they rose vp in the twilight, to goe to the campe of the Aramites: and when they were come to the vtmost part of the campe of the Aramites, loe, there was no man there.
6 pamba te Nkolo asalaki ete bato ya Siri bayoka lokito ya bashar, ya bampunda mpe ya mampinga minene ya basoda kino balobanaki bango na bango: « Tala, mokonzi ya Isalaele azwi mokonzi ya bato ya Iti mpe mokonzi ya bato ya Ejipito mpo na koya kobundisa biso. »
For the Lord had caused the campe of the Aramites to heare a noyse of charets and a noise of horses, and a noise of a great armie, so that they sayde one to another, Beholde, the King of Israel hath hired against vs the Kings of the Hittites, and the Kings of the Egyptians to come vpon vs.
7 Boye batelemaki mpe bakimaki na pokwa, basundolaki bandako na bango ya kapo, bampunda na bango mpe ba-ane na bango. Batikaki molako ndenge ezalaki mpo na kobikisa bomoi na bango.
Wherefore they arose, and fled in the twilight, and left their tentes and their horses, and their asses, euen the campe as it was, and fledde for their liues.
8 Bato na maba bakomaki na mondelo ya molako, bakotaki na ndako moko ya kapo, baliaki mpe bamelaki. Bongo bamemaki palata, wolo, bilamba, mpe bakendeki kobomba yango. Sima, bazongaki, bakotaki na ndako mosusu ya kapo, bazwaki kuna biloko mpe bakendeki lisusu kobomba yango.
And when these lepers came to the vtmost part of the campe, they entred into one tent, and did eate and drinke, and caryed thence siluer and golde, and raiment, and went and hid it: after they returned, and entred into another tent, and caryed thence also, and went and hid it.
9 Bongo balobanaki bango na bango: « Tozali kosala malamu te: Mokolo ya lelo ezali mokolo ya sango malamu, mpe tozali kobomba sango yango mpo na biso moko! Soki tozeli kino lobi na tongo, tokozwa etumbu. Tokende sik’oyo kopesa sango na ndako ya mokonzi. »
Then saide one to another, We doe not well: this day is a day of good tidings, and we holde our peace. if we tary till day light, some mischiefe will come vpon vs. Nowe therefore, come, let vs goe, and tell the Kings housholde.
10 Boye bakendeki, babelelaki epai ya bakengeli bikuke ya engumba mpe bayebisaki bango: « Tokotaki na molako ya bato ya Siri, moto ata moko te azali kuna, toyoki ata mongongo ya moto te; etikali kaka bampunda mpe ba-ane bakanga, mpe bandako ya kapo basundola. »
So they came, and called vnto the porters of the citie, and tolde them, saying, We came to the campe of the Aramites, and loe, there was no man there, neither voyce of man, but horses tyed and asses tyed: and the tents are as they were.
11 Bakengeli ekuke ya engumba babengaki moto moko kati na engumba mpo na kokomisa sango na ndako ya mokonzi.
And the porters cryed and declared to the Kings house within.
12 Mokonzi alamukaki na butu mpe alobaki na bakalaka na ye: — Tika ete nayebisa bino makambo oyo bato ya Siri basali biso. Bayebi solo ete tozali kokufa nzala, yango wana batiki milako na bango mpo na kokende kobombama na zamba. Balobani bango na bango: « Bakobima solo, mpe tokokanga bango ya bomoi, bongo tokokota na engumba. »
Then the King arose in the night, and saide vnto his seruants, I wil shew you now, what the Aramites haue done vnto vs. They know that we are affamished, therefore they are gone out of the campe to hide them selues in the fielde, saying, When they come out of the citie, we shall catch them aliue, and get into the citie.
13 Moko kati na bakalaka na ye azongisaki: — Bongisa ndambo ya mibali mpo ete bazwa bampunda mitano kati na oyo etikali kati na engumba. Tokobungisa ata eloko moko te, pamba te suka na bango ekozala ndenge moko na oyo ya bana nyonso ya Isalaele oyo batikali na engumba. Boye totinda bango kaka mpo toyeba makambo oyo ewuti kosalema.
And one of his seruants answered, and said, Let me take now fiue of the horses that remaine, and are left in the citie, (behold, they are euen as all the multitude of Israel that are left therein: beholde, I say, they are as the multitude of the Israelites that are consumed) and we wil send to see.
14 Boye baponaki bashar mibale elongo na bampunda na yango, mpe mokonzi atindaki yango mpo na koluka mampinga ya bato ya Siri. Apesaki mitindo na batambolisi na yango: « Bokende mpe botala! »
So they tooke two charets of horses, and the King sent after the hoste of the Aramites, saying, Goe and see.
15 Balandaki bilembo ya makolo ya bato ya Siri kino na ebale Yordani, mpe bamonaki ete nzela nyonso etondaki na bilamba mpe bibundeli oyo basoda ya Siri babwakaki tango bakimaki na mbalakata. Bongo bantoma bazongaki mpe bapesaki sango epai ya mokonzi.
And they went after them vnto Iorden, and loe, all the way was full of clothes and vessels which the Aramites had cast from them in their hast: and the messengers returned, and told ye King.
16 Bongo bato ya Samari babimaki mpe bazwaki na makasi biloko kati na molako ya bato ya Siri. Boye bakomaki koteka bakilo zomi ya farine na motuya ya mbongo moko ya ebende ya palata, mpe bakilo tuku mibale ya orje na motuya ya mbongo moko ya ebende ya palata, ndenge kaka Yawe alobaki.
Then the people went out and spoyled the campe of the Aramites: so a measure of fine floure was at a shekel, and two measures of barley at a shekel according to the word of the Lord.
17 Mokonzi ya Isalaele aponaki mokonzi ya basoda, oyo mokonzi agumbamaka mpo na loboko na ye, mpo na kokengela ekuke ya engumba, kasi bato banyataki ye mpe akufaki kolanda makambo oyo moto na Nzambe asakolaki tango mokonzi ayaki na ndako na ye.
And the King gaue the prince (on whose hande he leaned) the charge of the gate, and the people trode vpon him in the gate, and he dyed, as the man of God had saide, which spake it, when the King came downe to him.
18 Makambo oyo esalemaki ndenge moto na Nzambe alobaki na mokonzi: « Lobi, na tango oyo, bakoteka na ekuke ya Samari bakilo zomi ya farine na motuya ya mbongo moko ya ebende ya palata, mpe bakilo tuku mibale ya orje na motuya kaka wana. »
And it came to passe, as the man of God had spoken to the King, saying, Two measures of barley at a shekel, and a measure of fine floure shall be at a shekel, to morowe about this time in the gate of Samaria.
19 Mokonzi ya basoda, oyo mokonzi agumbamaka mpo na loboko na ye, alobaki na moto na Nzambe: — Tala, ata soki Yawe afungoli maninisa ya Lola, likambo ya boye ekoki penza kosalema? Mpe Elize, moto na Nzambe, azongisaki: — Okomona yango na miso, kasi okolia yango te.
But the prince had answered the man of God, and saide, Though the Lord would make windowes in the heauen, coulde it come so to passe? And he said, Behold, thou shalt see it with thine eyes, but thou shalt not eate thereof.
20 Makambo yango esalemaki ndenge kaka elobamaki na tina na ye: bato banyataki ye na ekuke ya engumba, mpe akufaki.
And so it came vnto him: for the people trode vpon him in the gate, and he dyed.
