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.

Nowe in the fourteenth yeere of King Hezekiah, Saneherib King of Asshur came vp against al the strong cities of Iudah, and tooke 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 Asshur sent Rabshakeh from Lachish toward Ierusalem vnto King Hezekiah, with a great hoste, and he stood by ye conduite of the vpper poole in the path of the fullers fielde.

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 foorth vnto him Eliakim the sonne of Hilkiah the steward of the house, and Shebna the chanceler, and Ioah the sonne of Asaph the recorder.

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 Rabshakeh sayde vnto them, Tell you Hezekiah, I pray you, Thus sayth the great King, the King of Asshur, What confidence is this, wherein 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?

I say, Surely I haue eloquence, but counsell and strength are for the warre: on whom then doest thou trust, that thou rebellest 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.

Loe, thou trustest in this broken staffe of reede on Egypt, whereupon if a man leane, it will goe into his hand, and pearce it: so is Pharaoh King of Egypt, vnto all that trust in 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?’

But if thou say to me, We trust in the Lord our God. Is not that he, whose hie places and whose altars Hezekiah tooke downe, and said to Iudah and to Ierusalem, 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!

Nowe therefore giue hostages to my lorde the King of Asshur, and I wil giue thee two thousand horses, if thou be able on thy part to set riders vpon 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?

For howe canst thou despise any captaine of the least of my lordes seruants? and put thy trust on Egypt for charets 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 am I now come vp without the Lord to this land to destroy it? The Lord sayd vnto me, Goe vp 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.

Then sayd Eliakim and Shebna and Ioah vnto Rabshakeh, Speake, I pray thee, to thy seruants in the Aramites language, (for we vnderstand it) and talke not with vs in the Iewes tongue, in the audience of the people that are on 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?

Then said Rabshakeh, Hath my master sent me to thy master, and to thee to speake these wordes, and not to the men that sit on the wall? that they may eate their owne doung, and drinke their owne pisse 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!

So Rabshakeh stood, and cryed with a loude voyce in the Iewes language, and sayd, Heare the wordes of the great King, of the King of Asshur.

14 Tala makambo oyo mokonzi alobi: Tika ete Ezekiasi akosa bino te, pamba te akokoka te kokangola bino!

Thus saith the King, Let not Hezekiah deceiue you: for he shall not be able to deliuer 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 to trust in the Lord, saying, The Lord will surely deliuer vs: this citie shall not be giuen ouer into the hand of the King of Asshur.

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 sayth the King of Asshur, Make appointment with me, and come out to me, that euery man may eate of his owne vine, and euery man of his owne fig tree, and drinke euery man the water of his owne well,

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.

Till I come and bring you to a land like your owne land, euen a land of wheate, and wine, a land of bread and vineyardes,

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?

Least Hezekiah deceiue you, saying, The Lord wil deliuer vs. Hath any of the gods of the nations deliuered his land out of the hand of the King of Asshur?

19 Wapi banzambe ya Amati mpe ya Aripadi? Wapi banzambe ya Sefarivayimi? Boni, balongaki kokangola Samari na loboko na ngai?

Where is the god of Hamath, and of Arpad? where is the god of Sepharuaim? or howe haue they deliuered Samaria out of mine 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 is hee among all the gods of these lands, that hath deliuered their countrey out of mine hand, that the Lord should deliuer Ierusalem out of mine hand?

21 Kasi bato batikalaki kimia mpe bazongiselaki ye ata liloba moko te, pamba te mokonzi apesaki mitindo: « Bopesa ye eyano te! »

Then they kept silence, and answered him not a worde: for the Kings commandement was, saying, Answere 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.

Then came Eliakim the sonne of Hilkiah the steward of the house, and Shebna the chanceller, and Ioah the sonne of Asaph the recorder, vnto Hezekiah with rent clothes, and tolde him the wordes of Rabshakeh.
