Kings IV 20
1 In those days was Ezekias sick [even] to death. And the prophet Esaias the son of Amos came in to him, and said to him, Thus says the Lord, Give charge to your household; [for] you shall die, and not live.
Na tango wana, Ezekiasi abelaki bokono moko ya makasi pene akufa. Mosakoli Ezayi, mwana mobali ya Amotsi, akendeki epai na ye mpe alobaki: — Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: « Bongisa makambo ya ndako na yo, pamba te okokufa, okobika te. »
2 And Ezekias turned to the wall, and prayed to the Lord, saying,
Ezekiasi abalolaki elongi na ye na mir mpe abondelaki Yawe:
3 Lord, remember, I pray you, how I have walked before you in truth and with a perfect heart, and have done that which is good in your eyes. And Ezekias wept with a great weeping.
— Oh Yawe, kanisa ndenge nini natambolaki liboso na Yo na boyengebene, ndenge nini namipesaki epai na Yo na motema na ngai mobimba, mpe ndenge nini nasalaki makambo ya malamu na miso na Yo. Mpe Ezekiasi alelaki mingi.
4 And Esaias was in the middle court, and the word of the Lord came to him, saying,
Liboso ete Ezayi akoma na lopango ya monene, Yawe alobaki na ye:
5 Turn back, and you shall say to Ezekias the ruler of my people, Thus says the Lord God of your father David, I have heard your prayer, I have seen your tears: behold, I will heal you: on the third day you shall go up to the house of the Lord.
— Zonga epai ya Ezekiasi, mokonzi ya bato na Ngai, mpe loba na ye: « Tala makambo oyo Yawe, Nzambe ya tata na yo, Davidi, alobi: ‹ Nayoki libondeli na yo mpe namoni mpinzoli na yo. Tala, nakobikisa yo; mpe sima na lobi, okomata lisusu na Tempelo ya Yawe.
6 And I will add to your days fifteen years; and I will deliver you and this city out of the hand of the king of the Assyrians, and I will defend this city for my own sake, and for my servant's David sake.
Nakobakisa mibu zomi na mitano na mikolo ya bomoi na yo. Nakokangola yo elongo na engumba oyo, wuta na maboko ya mokonzi ya Asiri, mpe nakobatela yango mpo na lokumu ya Kombo na Ngai mpe mpo na Davidi, mosali na Ngai. › »
7 And he said, Let them take a cake of figs, and lay it upon the ulcer, and he shall be well.
Ezayi alobaki: — Bozwa liboke ya figi. Bazwaki yango, batiaki yango na pota oyo ezalaki kokawuka te, mpe mokonzi abikaki.
8 And Ezekias said to Esaias, What [is] the sign that the Lord will heal me, and I shall go up to the house of the Lord on the third day?
Ezekiasi atunaki Ezayi: — Elembo nini ekolakisa ngai ete Yawe akobikisa ngai, mpe ete nakokende na Tempelo ya Yawe sima na lobi?
9 And Esaias said, This [is] the sign from the Lord, that the Lord will perform the word which he has spoken, the shadow [of the dial] shall advance ten degrees: [or] if it should go back ten degrees [this would also be the sign].
Ezayi azongisaki: — Tala elembo oyo Yawe apesi yo mpo na kotalisa ete akokokisa makambo oyo alaki yo: Olingi ete elilingi ekende liboso, na matambe zomi to ezonga sima na matambe zomi?
10 And Ezekias said, [It is] a light thing for the shadow to go down ten degrees: nay, but let the shadow return ten degrees backward on the dial.
Ezekiasi azongisaki: — Ezali pasi te ete elilingi ekende liboso, na matambe zomi; zongisa yango nde na sima, na matambe zomi.
11 And Esaias the prophet cried to the Lord: and the shadow returned back ten degrees on the dial.
Bongo mosakoli Ezayi abelelaki Yawe, mpe Yawe azongisaki elilingi sima, na matambe zomi, kolanda ematelo ya Akazi.
12 At that time Marodach Baladan, son of Baladan king of Babylon, sent letters and a present to Ezekias, because he had heard that Ezekias was sick.
Na tango wana, Merodaki-Baladani, mwana mobali ya Baladani, mokonzi ya Babiloni, atindaki mokanda mpe kado epai ya Ezekiasi, pamba te ayokaki sango ete Ezekiasi abelaki.
13 And Ezekias rejoiced at them, and showed all the house of his spices, the silver and the gold, the spices, and the fine oil, and the armory, and all that was found in his treasures: there was nothing which Ezekias did not show them in his house, and in all his dominion.
Ezekiasi ayambaki bantoma na esengo mpe alakisaki bibombelo biloko na ye ya motuya lokola palata mpe wolo, biloko ya mike-mike ya solo kitoko, mafuta ya kitoko, bibundeli na ye nyonso, mpe bomengo na ye nyonso. Ezalaki na eloko moko te, ezala ya ndako na ye to ya mokili na ye mobimba, oyo azangaki kolakisa bango.
14 And Esaias the prophet went in to king Ezekias, and said to him, What said these men? and whence came they to you? And Ezekias said, they came to me from a distant land, [even] from Babylon.
Bongo mosakoli Ezayi akendeki epai ya mokonzi Ezekiasi mpe atunaki ye: — Bato wana balobi nini mpe bawuti wapi? Ezekiasi azongisaki: — Bawuti mosika, na mokili ya Babiloni.
15 And he said, What saw they in your house? And he said, They saw all things that [are] in my house: there was nothing in my house which I showed not to them; yes, all that was in my treasures also.
Ezayi atunaki: — Bamoni eloko nini kati na ndako na yo ya bokonzi? Ezekiasi azongisaki: — Bamoni biloko nyonso oyo ezali kati na ndako na ngai; ezali na eloko moko te, kati na bibombelo na ngai, oyo nazangi kolakisa bango.
16 And Esaias said to Ezekias, Hear the word of the Lord:
Ezayi alobaki na Ezekiasi: — Yoka liloba oyo Yawe alobi:
17 Behold, the days come, that all things that are in your house shall be taken, and all that your fathers have treasured up until this day, to Babylon; and there shall not fail a word, which the Lord has spoken.
« Solo, na mikolo ekoya, nyonso oyo ezali kati na ndako na yo, mpe nyonso oyo batata na yo babomba kino na mokolo ya lelo, bakomema yango na Babiloni, eloko moko te ekotikala, elobi Yawe.
18 And as for your sons which shall come forth of you, which you shall beget, [the enemy] shall take them, and they shall be eunuchs in the house of the king of Babylon.
Mingi kati na bakitani na yo, kati na ba-oyo babimi penza na mokongo na yo, bakomema bango mpe bakoboma bango mikongo mpo ete bakoma kosala kati na ndako ya mokonzi ya Babiloni. »
19 And Ezekias said to Esaias, Good [is] the word of the Lord which he has spoken: [only] let there be peace in my days.
Ezekiasi azongiselaki Ezayi: — Liloba na Yawe, oyo osili koloba ezali malamu. Pamba te azalaki komilobela: « Boni, kimia mpe bobatelami ekozala penza na mikolo ya bomoi na ngai? »
20 And the rest of the acts of Ezekias, and all his might, and all that he made, the fountain and the aqueduct, and [how] he brought water into the city, [are] not these things written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Juda?
Makambo mosusu oyo etali Ezekiasi, misala na ye nyonso ya nguya mpe ndenge asalaki liziba mpe nzela ya se ya mabele oyo amemaki mayi kino na engumba, ekomama kati na buku ya masolo ya bakonzi ya Yuda.
21 And Ezekias slept with his fathers: and Manasses his son reigned in his stead.
Ezekiasi akendeki kokutana na bakoko na ye, mpe bakundaki ye esika moko na bakoko na ye. Manase, mwana na ye ya mobali, akitanaki na ye na bokonzi.
