2 Bakonzi 8
1 Elize alobaki na mama ya mwana mobali oyo asekwisaki: « Kende elongo na libota na yo na esika oyo bokoki kovanda, pamba te Yawe abengi nzala makasi kati na mokili oyo; ekowumela mibu sambo. »
Now Elisha had said to the woman whose son he had given back to life, Go now, with all the people of your house, and get a living-place for yourselves wherever you are able; for by the word of the Lord, there will be great need of food in the land; and this will go on for seven years.
2 Mwasi asalaki ndenge moto na Nzambe alobaki. Ye elongo na libota na ye bakendeki mpe bavandaki mibu sambo na mokili ya Filisitia.
So the woman got up and did as the man of God said; and she and the people of her house were living in the land of the Philistines for seven years.
3 Tango mibu yango sambo ekokaki, mwasi azongaki na mboka na ye wuta na mokili ya Filisitia; akendeki epai ya mokonzi mpo ete bazongisela ye ndako mpe mabele na ye.
And when the seven years were ended, the woman came back from the land of the Philistines and went to the king with a request for her house and her land.
4 Mokonzi azalaki kosolola na Geazi, mosali ya moto na Nzambe, mpe alobaki: « Yebisa ngai makambo minene nyonso oyo moto na Nzambe, Elize, asalaki. »
Now the king was talking with Gehazi, the servant of the man of God, saying, Now, give me an account of all the great things Elisha has done.
5 Wana Geazi azalaki koyebisa mokonzi ndenge nini Elize asekwisaki ebembe ya mwana oyo akufaki, mama ya mwana yango ayaki kobondela mokonzi ete azongisa ndako mpe mabele na ye. Geazi alobaki: « Mokonzi, nkolo na ngai, tala mwasi oyo mpe mwana na ye ya mobali oyo Elize asekwisaki. »
And while he was giving the king the story of how Elisha had given life to the dead, the woman whose son had come back to life came to the king with a request for her house and her land. And Gehazi said, My lord king, this is the woman and this is her son, whose life Elisha gave back to him.
6 Mokonzi atunaki na mwasi yango mpe ayebisaki ye makambo nyonso. Na sima, mokonzi aponaki moko kati na bakalaka na ye ya lokumu mpe apesaki ye mitindo: « Zongisela ye biloko na ye nyonso mpe bambuma nyonso ya bilanga oyo mabele na ye ebotaki wuta mokolo oyo alongwaki na mboka na biso kino lelo. »
And in answer to the king's questions, the woman gave him all the story. So the king gave orders to one of his unsexed servants, saying, Give her back all her property, and all the produce of her fields from the day when she went away from the land up till now.
7 Elize akendeki na Damasi, wana Beni-Adadi, mokonzi ya Siri, azalaki kobela. Tango bayebisaki mokonzi ete moto na Nzambe akomi kati na engumba,
And Elisha came to Damascus; and Ben-hadad, king of Aram, was ill; and they said to him, The man of God has come.
8 mokonzi alobaki na Azaeli: « Kamata likabo mpe kende kokutana na moto na Nzambe. Tuna Yawe na nzela ya moto na Nzambe: ‹ Boni, nakobika solo na bokono oyo? › »
Then the king said to Hazael, Take an offering with you, and go to see the man of God and get directions from the Lord by him, saying, Am I going to get better from my disease?
9 Azaeli akendeki kokutana na Elize, amemaki elongo na ye likabo ya biloko nyonso ya Damasi; bamemaki yango na likolo ya bashamo tuku minei. Azaeli akitaki, atelemaki liboso ya Elize mpe alobaki: — Mwana na yo ya mobali Beni-Adadi, mokonzi ya Siri, atindi ngai; atuni: « Boni, nakobika solo na bokono oyo? »
So Hazael went to see him, taking with him forty camels with offerings on their backs of every sort of good thing from Damascus; and when he came before him, he said, Your son Ben-hadad, king of Aram, has sent me to you, saying, Will I get better from this disease?
10 Elize azongisaki: — Loba na ye: « Solo, okobika na bokono oyo. » Nzokande, Yawe amonisi ngai ete akokufa.
And Elisha said to him, Go, say to him, You will certainly get better; but the Lord has made it clear to me that only death is before him.
11 Elize atalaki ye malamu-malamu, mpe Azaeli ayokaki soni. Mpe moto na Nzambe alelaki.
And he kept his eyes fixed on him till he was shamed, and the man of God was overcome with weeping.
12 Azaeli atunaki: — Mpo na nini nkolo na ngai azali kolela? Elize azongisaki: — Mpo ete nayebi mabe oyo okosala bana ya Isalaele. Okozikisa bingumba na bango, oyo etongama makasi, okokata bilenge mibali na bango bakingo na mopanga, okoboma bana na bango ya mike, mpe okopasola mabumu ya basi na bango ya zemi.
And Hazael said, Why is my lord weeping? Then he said in answer, Because I see the evil which you will do to the children of Israel: burning down their strong towns, putting their young men to death with the sword, smashing their little ones against the stones, and cutting open the women who are with child.
13 Azaeli akamwaki mpe azongisaki: — Mpo na nini okosala makambo ya boye na mosali na yo? Ata kutu mbwa eleki ngai na tina! Elize alobaki lisusu: — Yawe amonisi ngai ete okokoma mokonzi ya Siri.
And Hazael said, How is it possible that your servant, who is only a dog, will do this great thing? And Elisha said, The Lord has made it clear to me that you will be king over Aram.
14 Azaeli atikaki Elize mpe azongaki epai ya mokonzi na ye. Bongo mokonzi na ye atunaki ye: — Elize alobi na yo nini? Azongisaki: — Alobi na ngai: « Solo, okobika na bokono oyo. »
Then he went away from Elisha and came in to his master, who said to him, What did Elisha say to you? And his answer was, He said that you would certainly get well.
15 Mokolo oyo elandaki, Azaeli azwaki bulangeti, azindisaki yango na mayi, mpe afinikaki na yango elongi ya mokonzi mpo na kokanga ye pema; mpe mokonzi akufaki. Azaeli akitanaki na ye na bokonzi.
Now on the day after, Hazael took the bed-cover, and making it wet with water, put it over Ben-hadad's face, causing his death: and Hazael became king in his place.
16 Tango Yorami, mwana mobali ya Akabi, mokonzi ya Isalaele, akokisaki mibu mitano na bokonzi —Jozafati azalaki mokonzi ya Yuda— Yorami, mwana mobali ya Jozafati, mokonzi ya Yuda, akomaki mokonzi.
In the fifth year of Joram, the son of Ahab, king of Israel, Jehoram, the son of Jehoshaphat, king of Judah, became king.
17 Azalaki na mibu tuku misato na mibale ya mbotama tango akomaki mokonzi, mpe akonzaki mibu mwambe na Yelusalemi.
He was thirty-two years old when he became king; and he was ruling in Jerusalem for eight years.
18 Alandaki nzela oyo bakonzi ya Isalaele batambolaki na yango mpe asalaki mabe na miso ya Yawe ndenge libota ya Akabi esalaki, pamba te abalaki mwana na ye ya mwasi.
He went in the ways of the kings of Israel, as the family of Ahab did: for the daughter of Ahab was his wife; and he did evil in the eyes of the Lord.
19 Kasi Yawe alingaki te kobebisa Yuda mpo na Davidi, mowumbu na Ye, pamba te alakaki kopesa bokonzi epai ya Davidi mpe epai ya bana na ye mpo na libela.
But it was not the Lord's purpose to send destruction on Judah, because of David his servant, to whom he had given his word that he would have a light for ever.
20 Na tango ya Yorami, bato ya Edomi batombokelaki Yuda mpe bamipesaki mokonzi.
In his time, Edom made themselves free from the rule of Judah, and took a king for themselves.
21 Boye Yorami akendeki na Tsayiri elongo na bashar na ye nyonso. Na butu, atelemaki mpe abetaki bato ya Edomi oyo bazingelaki ye elongo na bakonzi ya basoda oyo babundaka na bashar; kasi basoda ya Yuda bakimaki na bandako na bango ya kapo.
Then Joram went over to Zair, with all his war-carriages; ... made an attack by night on the Edomites, whose forces were all round him, ... the captains of the war-carriages; and the people went in flight to their tents.
22 Wuta mokolo wana kino lelo, Edomi etombokelaka kaka Yuda. Na tango wana, Libina mpe etombokaki.
So Edom made themselves free from the rule of Judah to this day. And at the same time, Libnah made itself free.
23 Makambo mosusu oyo etali bokonzi ya Yorami mpe misala na ye nyonso ekomami na buku ya masolo ya bakonzi ya Yuda.
Now the rest of the acts of Joram, and all he did, are they not recorded in the book of the history of the kings of Judah?
24 Yorami akendeki kokutana na bakoko na ye, mpe bakundaki ye esika moko na bakoko na ye kati na engumba ya Davidi. Akazia, mwana na ye ya mobali, akitanaki na ye na bokonzi.
And Joram went to rest with his fathers and was put into the earth with his fathers in the town of David: and Ahaziah his son became king in his place.
25 Tango Yorami, mwana mobali ya Akabi, mokonzi ya Isalaele, akokisaki mibu zomi na mibale na bokonzi, Akazia, mwana mobali ya Yorami, akomaki mokonzi ya Yuda.
In the twelfth year that Joram, the son of Ahab, was king of Israel, Ahaziah, the son of Jehoram, king of Judah, became king;
26 Akazia azalaki na mibu tuku mibale na mibale ya mbotama tango akomaki mokonzi, mpe akonzaki mobu moko na Yelusalemi. Kombo ya mama na ye ezalaki « Atali. » Atali azalaki koko ya Omiri, mokonzi ya Isalaele.
Ahaziah was twenty-two years old when he became king, and he was ruling in Jerusalem for one year. His mother's name was Athaliah, the daughter of Omri, king of Israel.
27 Alandaki nzela oyo libota ya Akabi etambolaki na yango mpe asalaki mabe na miso ya Yawe ndenge libota ya Akabi esalaki, pamba te abalaki na libota ya Akabi.
He went in the ways of the family of Ahab, and did evil in the eyes of the Lord as the family of Ahab did, for he was a son-in-law of the family of Ahab.
28 Akazia akendeki elongo na Yorami, mwana mobali ya Akabi, mpo na kobundisa Azaeli, mokonzi ya Siri, na Ramoti ya Galadi. Bato ya Arami bazokisaki Yorami.
He went with Joram, the son of Ahab, to make war on Hazael, king of Aram, at Ramoth-gilead: and Joram was wounded by the Aramaeans.
29 Boye, mokonzi Yorami azongaki na Jizireyeli mpo na kokawusa bapota oyo bato ya Arami bazokisaki ye na Rama, na bitumba oyo babundaki na Azaeli, mokonzi ya Siri. Akazia, mwana mobali ya Yorami, mokonzi ya Yuda, akendeki na Jizireyeli mpo na kotala Yorami, mwana mobali ya Akabi, pamba te bazokisaki ye.
So King Joram went back to Jezreel to get well from the wounds which the bowmen had given him at Ramah, when he was fighting against Hazael, king of Aram. And Ahaziah, the son of Jehoram, king of Judah, went down to see Joram, the son of Ahab, in Jezreel, because he was ill.
