Ezayi 36
1 Tango Ezekiasi akokisaki mibu zomi na minei na bokonzi, Senakeribe, mokonzi ya Asiri, abundisaki bingumba nyonso ya Yuda, oyo batonga makasi mpe abotolaki yango.
And it came to pass in the fourteenth year of king Hezekiah, that Sennacherib king of Assyria came up against all the fortified cities of Judah, and took them.
2 Boye, mokonzi ya Asiri atindaki mokonzi ya basoda oyo bakengelaka ye, elongo na mampinga ya basoda ya nguya, wuta na Lakishi kino na Yelusalemi, epai ya mokonzi Ezekiasi. Tango mokonzi ya basoda yango atelemaki pene ya nzela oyo ememaka mayi na liziba ya mayi ya monene, oyo ezali na nzela ya elanga ya moto oyo atiaka langi na bilamba,
And the king of Assyria sent Rab-shakeh from Lachish to Jerusalem, to king Hezekiah, with a strong force. And he stood by the aqueduct of the upper pool, on the highway of the fuller's field.
3 Eliakimi, mwana mobali ya Ilikia, mobateli biloko ya ndako ya mokonzi; Shebina, mokomi mikanda; mpe Yoa, mwana mobali ya Azafi mpe mobombi mikanda, babimaki mpo na kokutana na ye.
Then came forth to him Eliakim the son of Hilkijah, who was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah the son of Asaph, the chronicler.
4 Mokonzi ya basoda oyo bakengelaka mokonzi alobaki na bango: « Boloba na Ezekiasi: ‹ Tala makambo oyo mokonzi monene, mokonzi ya Asiri, alobi: Otie elikya na yo na nini?
And Rab-shakeh said to them, Say now to Hezekiah, Thus says the great king, the king of Assyria: What confidence is this in which thou trustest?
5 Okanisi ete maloba ya pamba ekoki kozwa esika ya mayele mpe makasi ya bitumba? Otie penza elikya na nani mpo ete otombokela ngai?
Thou sayest, but it is a word of the lips, [There is] counsel and strength for war. Now on whom dost thou rely, that thou hast revolted against me?
6 Tala, ozali nde kotia elikya na Ejipito oyo ezali lokola mwa nzete ya bambu oyo ebukana, oyo etobolaka mpe ezokisaka loboko ya moto oyo ayekamelaka yango! Faraon, mokonzi ya Ejipito, azalaka nde bongo mpo na bato nyonso oyo batielaka ye motema.
Behold, thou reliest upon the staff of that broken reed, upon Egypt, on which if a man lean, it goes into his hand, and pierces it: so is Pharaoh king of Egypt to all that rely upon him.
7 Mpe soki olobi na ngai: ‘Totiaka elikya na biso kati na Yawe, Nzambe na biso.’ Boni, ezali ye te oyo Ezekiasi alongolaki bisambelo na ye ya likolo ya bangomba mpe bitumbelo na ye tango alobaki na Yuda mpe na Yelusalemi: ‘Bosengeli kogumbama liboso ya etumbelo oyo?’
And if thou say to me, We rely upon Jehovah our God: is it not he, whose high places and whose altars Hezekiah has removed, saying to Judah and Jerusalem, Ye shall worship before this altar?
8 Sik’oyo, nabondeli yo, beta mondenge na nkolo na ngai, mokonzi ya Asiri: nakopesa yo bampunda nkoto mibale soki okoki kopesa basoda mpo ete batambolisa yango!
And now engage, I pray thee, with my master the king of Assyria, and I will give thee two thousand horses, if thou be able on thy part to set riders upon them.
9 Okokoka ndenge nini kokimisa ata mokonzi moko kaka, kati na bakonzi ya basoda ya nkolo na ngai, yo oyo otiaka elikya na yo na Ejipito mpo na bashar mpe bato oyo batambolisaka yango?
How then wilt thou turn away the face of one captain of the least of my master's servants? And thou reliest upon Egypt for chariots and for horsemen!
10 Okanisi ete ngai nayei kobundisa mpe kobebisa mokili oyo na ndingisa ya Yawe te? Ezali Ye moko Yawe nde alobaki na ngai ete nabundisa mokili oyo mpe nabebisa yango. › »
And now am I come up without Jehovah against this land to destroy it? Jehovah said to me, Go up against this land and destroy it.
11 Eliakimi, Shebina mpe Yoa balobaki na mokonzi ya basoda oyo bakengelaka mokonzi: — Tobondeli yo, loba na biso, basali na yo, na lokota ya Arami, pamba te tososolaka yango; koloba na biso na lokota ya Ebre te, noki te bato oyo bazali na likolo ya mir bakoyoka.
And Eliakim and Shebna and Joah said to Rab-shakeh, Speak, we pray thee, to thy servants in Syriac, for we understand it; and speak not to us in the Jewish [language] in the ears of the people that are upon the wall.
12 Mokonzi ya basoda oyo bakengelaka mokonzi azongisaki: — Bokanisi ete nkolo na ngai atindi ngai koloba maloba oyo kaka epai na mokonzi na bino mpe epai na bino? Te! Maloba yango ezali mpe mpo na bato oyo batelemi na likolo ya mir, oyo bakolia nyei na bango mpe komela masuba na bango elongo na bino?
And Rab-shakeh said, Is it to thy master and to thee that my master sent me to speak these words? Is it not to the men that sit on the wall, that they may eat their own dung, and drink their own urine with you?
13 Boye, mokonzi ya basoda oyo bakengelaka mokonzi atelemaki mpe agangaki makasi na lokota ya Ebre: « Boyoka maloba ya mokonzi monene, mokonzi ya Asiri!
And Rab-shakeh stood and cried with a loud voice in the Jewish [language], and said, Hear the words of the great king, the king of Assyria!
14 Tala makambo oyo mokonzi alobi: Tika ete Ezekiasi akosa bino te, pamba te akokoka te kokangola bino!
Thus says the king: Let not Hezekiah deceive you; for he will not be able to deliver you.
15 Bondima te ete Ezekiasi atinda bino kotia elikya na Yawe tango azali koloba: ‹ Solo, Yawe akokangola biso. Engumba oyo ekokweya te na maboko ya mokonzi ya Asiri. ›
Neither let Hezekiah make you rely upon Jehovah, saying, Jehovah will certainly deliver us; this city shall not be given into the hand of the king of Assyria.
16 Boyokela Ezekiasi te, pamba te tala makambo oyo mokonzi ya Asiri alobi: Bosala boyokani ya kimia elongo na ngai mpe boya epai na ngai; bongo moko na moko kati na bino akolia mbuma ya elanga na ye ya vino, ya nzete na ye ya figi mpe akomela mayi ya libulu na ye
Hearken not to Hezekiah; for thus says the king of Assyria: Make peace with me and come out to me; and eat every one of his vine, and every one of his fig-tree, and drink every one the waters of his own cistern;
17 liboso ete naya kozwa bino mpo na komema bino na mokili oyo ekokana na oyo ya bino, mokili oyo etonda na ble mpe na vino ya sika; mokili ya mapa mpe ya bilanga ya vino.
until I come and take you away to a land like your own land, a land of corn and wine, a land of bread and vineyards.
18 Bondima Ezekiasi te, pamba te azali kokosa bino tango azali koloba: ‹ Yawe akokangola biso. › Boni, ezali na nzambe ya ekolo songolo, oyo alonga kokangola ekolo na ye na loboko ya mokonzi ya Asiri?
Let not Hezekiah persuade you, saying, Jehovah will deliver us. Has any of the gods of the nations delivered his land out of the hand of the king of Assyria?
19 Wapi banzambe ya Amati mpe ya Aripadi? Wapi banzambe ya Sefarivayimi? Boni, balongaki kokangola Samari na loboko na ngai?
Where are the gods of Hamath and of Arpad? where are the gods of Sepharvaim? and have they delivered Samaria out of my hand?
20 Kati na banzambe ya mikili wana, nani azalaki na makoki ya kokangola mokili na ye na maboko na ngai? Bongo ndenge nini Yawe akoka solo kokangola Yelusalemi na maboko na ngai? »
Who are they among all the gods of these countries that have delivered their country out of my hand, that Jehovah should deliver Jerusalem out of my hand?
21 Kasi bato batikalaki kimia mpe bazongiselaki ye ata liloba moko te, pamba te mokonzi apesaki mitindo: « Bopesa ye eyano te! »
And they were silent, and answered him not a word; for the king's command was, saying, Answer him not.
22 Bongo Eliakimi, mwana mobali ya Ilikia mpe mobateli biloko ya ndako ya mokonzi; Shebina, mokomi mikanda; mpe Yoa, mwana mobali ya Azafi mpe mobombi mikanda, bayaki epai ya Ezekiasi na bilamba epasuka, mpe bayebisaki ye makambo oyo mokonzi ya basoda oyo bakengelaka mokonzi ya Asiri alobaki.
And Eliakim the son of Hilkijah, who was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah the son of Asaph, the chronicler, came to Hezekiah, with their garments rent, and told him the words of Rab-shakeh.
