1 Samuel 17
1 Now the Philistines gathered their forces for war at Socoh in Judah, and they camped between Socoh and Azekah in Ephes-dammim.
Bato ya Filisitia basangisaki mampinga na bango mpo na bitumba, basanganaki na Soko ya Yuda mpe batongaki molako na bango na Efeze-Damimi, kati na Soko mpe Azeka.
2 Saul and the men of Israel assembled and camped in the Valley of Elah, arraying themselves for battle against the Philistines.
Na ngambo mosusu, Saulo mpe bato ya Isalaele basanganaki mpe batongaki molako na bango kati na lubwaku ya Terebente; batandamaki na milongo mpe babongamaki mpo na kobundisa bato ya Filisitia.
3 The Philistines stood on one hill and the Israelites stood on another, with the valley between them.
Bato ya Filisitia bazalaki na likolo ya ngomba na ngambo moko, mpe bato ya Isalaele, na likolo ya ngomba na ngambo mosusu; kaka lubwaku nde ekabolaki bango.
4 Then a champion named Goliath, who was from Gath, came out from the Philistine camp. He was six cubits and a span in height,
Elombe mobali moko oyo kombo na ye ezalaki « Goliati, » moto ya mboka Gati, abimaki wuta na molako ya bato ya Filisitia. Azalaki na bametele pene misato na molayi.
5 and he had a bronze helmet on his head. He wore a bronze coat of mail weighing five thousand shekels,
Alataki ekoti ya bronze na moto na ye mpe ebombelo ya tolo, oyo basala na bakilo pene tuku motoba ya bronze.
6 and he had armor of bronze on his legs and a javelin of bronze slung between his shoulders.
Na makolo na ye, alataki bitando ya bronze, mpe akangisaki likonga ya bronze na sima ya mokongo na ye.
7 The shaft of his spear was like a weaver’s beam, and its iron point weighed six hundred shekels. In addition, his shield bearer went before him.
Monene ya nzete ya likonga na ye ezalaki lokola libaya oyo basali bilamba basalelaka; songe ya likonga yango ezalaki ya bakilo pene sambo. Moto oyo azalaki komema bibundeli na ye azalaki kotambola liboso na ye.
8 And Goliath stood and shouted to the ranks of Israel, “Why do you come out and array yourselves for battle? Am I not a Philistine, and are you not servants of Saul? Choose one of your men and have him come down against me.
Goliati atelemaki mpe agangelaki mampinga ya Isalaele, alobaki: « Mpo na nini bobimi mpe bosali milongo mpo na bitumba? Ngai nazali moto ya Filisitia te? Mpe bino bozali basali ya Saulo te? Bopona moto moko mpe botika ye koya kobundisa ngai.
9 If he is able to fight me and kill me, then we will be your servants. But if I prevail against him and kill him, then you shall be our servants and labor for us.”
Soki akokoka kolonga mpe koboma ngai, wana biso tokokoma bawumbu na bino. Nzokande soki ngai nalongi mpe nabomi ye, wana bino nde bokokoma bawumbu na biso mpe bokosalela biso. »
10 Then the Philistine said, “I defy the ranks of Israel this day! Give me a man to fight!”
Moto ya Filisitia alobaki lisusu: « Na mokolo ya lelo, nazali kotiola mampinga ya Isalaele. Bopesa ngai moto moko mpo ete nabunda na ye. »
11 On hearing the words of the Philistine, Saul and all the Israelites were dismayed and greatly afraid.
Tango bayokaki maloba ya moto ya Filisitia, Saulo mpe bato nyonso ya Isalaele bakomaki na mawa mpe babangaki.
12 Now David was the son of a man named Jesse, an Ephrathite from Bethlehem of Judah who had eight sons in the days of Saul. And Jesse was old and well along in years.
Davidi azalaki mwana mobali ya moto moko ya Efrate, oyo kombo na ye ezalaki « Izayi. » Izayi awutaki na Beteleemi ya Yuda mpe azalaki na bana mibali mwambe. Na tango Saulo azalaki mokonzi, Izayi akomaki mobange mpo ete mibu na ye ya mbotama epusanaki makasi.
13 The three older sons of Jesse had followed Saul into battle: The firstborn was Eliab, the second was Abinadab, and the third was Shammah.
Bana mibali misato ya liboso ya Izayi balandaki Saulo na bitumba. Tala bakombo ya bana mibali yango misato oyo balandaki Saulo na bitumba: Eliabi, mwana mobali ya liboso; Abinadabi, mwana mobali ya mibale; mpe Shama, mwana mobali ya misato.
14 And David was the youngest. The three oldest had followed Saul,
Lokola Davidi azalaki leki, mpe wana bana mibali misato ya liboso balandaki Saulo,
15 but David went back and forth from Saul to tend his father’s sheep in Bethlehem.
Davidi azalaki kokende mpe kozonga wuta na ndako ya Saulo mpo na koleisa bameme ya tata na ye na Beteleemi.
16 For forty days the Philistine came forward every morning and evening to take his stand.
Mikolo tuku minei, moto ya Filisitia azalaki komilakisa, tongo mpe pokwa, liboso ya mampinga ya Isalaele.
17 One day Jesse said to his son David, “Take this ephah of roasted grain and these ten loaves of bread for your brothers and hurry to their camp.
Izayi alobaki na Davidi, mwana na ye ya mobali: « Zwela bandeko na yo ya mibali bambuma oyo ya ble bakalinga mpe mapa oyo zomi, mpe kende kotikela bango yango na lombangu na molako na bango.
18 Take also these ten portions of cheese to the commander of their unit. Check on the welfare of your brothers and bring back an assurance from them.
Mema lisusu ba-fromaje zomi oyo epai ya mokonzi ya limpinga ya basoda nkoto moko, limpinga oyo bango bazali. Tala soki bandeko na yo ya mibali bazali ndenge nini mpe zwa na maboko na bango elembo oyo ekolakisa ngai ete bazali malamu.
19 They are with Saul and all the men of Israel in the Valley of Elah, fighting against the Philistines.”
Bazali na lubwaku ya Terebente elongo na Saulo mpe mibali nyonso ya Isalaele mpo na kobundisa bato ya Filisitia. »
20 So David got up early in the morning, left the flock with a keeper, loaded up, and set out as Jesse had instructed him. He reached the camp as the army was marching out to its position and shouting the battle cry.
Na tongo-tongo ya mokolo oyo elandaki, Davidi atikaki bameme na maboko ya mokengeli moko; akamataki mikumba na ye mpe akendeki, ndenge kaka Izayi ayebisaki ye; akomaki na molako tango mampinga ya Isalaele ezalaki komibongisa na milongo mpo na kobunda bitumba, mpe ezalaki kobeta milolo ya bitumba.
21 And Israel and the Philistines arrayed in formation against each other.
Bato ya Isalaele mpe bato ya Filisitia batandamaki mpe batalanaki ngambo na ngambo mpo na kobunda.
22 Then David left his supplies in the care of the quartermaster and ran to the battle line. When he arrived, he asked his brothers how they were doing.
Davidi akitisaki mikumba na ye, apesaki yango na maboko ya mobateli mikumba, akimaki mbangu na esika ya bitumba mpe apesaki bandeko na ye ya mibali mbote.
23 And as he was speaking with them, suddenly the champion named Goliath, the Philistine from Gath, came forward from the Philistines and shouted his usual words, which David also heard.
Wana Davidi azali kosolola na bango, elombe mobali Goliati, moto ya Filisitia ya Gati, alongwaki na molongo ya mampinga na ye mpe azongelaki koloba ndenge azalaki kosala mikolo nyonso. Davidi azalaki koyoka ye.
24 When all the men of Israel saw Goliath, they fled from him in great fear.
Kasi tango bato nyonso ya Isalaele bamonaki mobali yango, bakimaki liboso na ye na kobanga makasi.
25 Now the men of Israel had been saying, “Do you see this man who keeps coming out to defy Israel? To the man who kills him the king will give great riches. And he will give him his daughter in marriage and exempt his father’s house from taxation in Israel.”
Moko na moko kati na bato ya Isalaele akomaki koloba: « Bozali na bino komona mobali oyo ndenge azali kobima mpo na koya epai na biso? Azali nde koya kotiola Isalaele! Mokonzi akopesa bomengo ebele epai ya moto oyo akoboma ye, akopesa ye mwana na ye ya mwasi na libala mpe akosalela libota ya tata na ye bolamu kati na Isalaele. »
26 David asked the men who were standing with him, “What will be done for the man who kills this Philistine and removes this disgrace from Israel? Just who is this uncircumcised Philistine, that he should defy the armies of the living God?”
Davidi atunaki mibali oyo bazalaki pembeni na ye: — Eloko nini bakosala na moto oyo akoboma moto ya Filisitia oyo mpe akolongola soni kati na Isalaele? Moto ya Filisitia oyo akatama ngenga te azali nani mpo ete atiola mampinga ya Nzambe na bomoi?
27 The people told him about the offer, saying, “That is what will be done for the man who kills him.”
Lokola bato bazalaki kozongela kaka maloba moko, balobaki na ye: — Tala makambo oyo ekosalemela moto oyo akoboma ye.
28 Now when David’s oldest brother Eliab heard him speaking to the men, his anger burned against David. “Why have you come down here?” he asked. “And with whom did you leave those few sheep in the wilderness? I know your pride and wickedness of heart—you have come down to see the battle!”
Tango Eliabi, kulutu ya Davidi, ayokaki ye koloba na bato yango, asilikelaki ye makasi mpe atunaki: — Oyaki awa mpo na nini? Mpe na maboko ya nani otikaki mwa bameme na biso kati na esobe? Nayebi ndenge lolendo na yo ezalaka mpe ndenge nini ozalaka mayele mabe. Oyei na yo kaka mpo na kotala bitumba.
29 “What have I done now?” said David. “Was it not just a question?”
Davidi azongiselaki ye: — Nasali nini? Nakoki kosolola lisusu te?
30 Then he turned from him toward another and asked about the offer, and those people answered him just as the first ones had answered.
Bongo Davidi abalukaki mpo na kosolola na moto mosusu mpe atunaki kaka likambo moko wana. Mpe bazongiselaki ye ndenge kaka moto ya liboso alobaki na ye.
31 Now David’s words were overheard and reported to Saul, who called for him.
Maloba ya Davidi epanzanaki na lombangu, mpe bayebisaki yango Saulo. Mpe sima na Saulo koyoka yango, abengisaki ye.
32 And David said to Saul, “Let no man’s heart fail on account of this Philistine. Your servant will go and fight him!”
Davidi alobaki na Saulo: — Tika ete moto moko te amilembisa nzoto likolo na moto oyo ya Filisitia. Mosali na yo akokende kobundisa ye.
33 But Saul replied, “You cannot go out against this Philistine to fight him. You are just a boy, and he has been a warrior from his youth.”
Kasi Saulo alobaki na Davidi: — Okoki te kokende kobundisa moto wana ya Filisitia! Ozali mwana moke, nzokande ye azali mobundi ya bitumba wuta bolenge na ye.
34 David replied, “Your servant has been tending his father’s sheep, and whenever a lion or a bear came and carried off a lamb from the flock,
Davidi azongiselaki Saulo: — Mosali na yo azalaki kobatela bameme ya tata na ye. Tango ngombolo to nkosi ezalaki koya kokamata meme moko kati na etonga,
35 I went after it, struck it down, and delivered the lamb from its mouth. If it reared up against me, I would grab it by its fur, strike it down, and kill it.
nazalaki kolanda mpe kobeta yango, nazalaki kokangola mpe kobotola meme na monoko ya tambwe to ya nkosi yango. Tango ezalaki kobalukela ngai, nazalaki kokanga yango, kobeta mpe koboma yango.
36 Your servant has killed lions and bears; this uncircumcised Philistine will be like one of them, for he has defied the armies of the living God.”
Lokola mosali na yo abomaki ezala ngombolo to nkosi, akoboma mpe moto ya Filisitia oyo akatama ngenga te lokola moko kati na banyama wana, pamba te atioli mampinga ya Nzambe na bomoi.
37 David added, “The LORD, who delivered me from the claws of the lion and the bear, will deliver me from the hand of this Philistine.” “Go,” said Saul, “and may the LORD be with you.”
Yawe oyo akangolaki ngai na manzaka ya ngombolo mpe ya nkosi akokangola ngai na maboko ya moto ya Filisitia oyo. Saulo alobaki na Davidi: — Kende, mpe tika ete Yawe azala elongo na yo.
38 Then Saul clothed David in his own tunic, put a bronze helmet on his head, and dressed him in armor.
Bongo Saulo alatisaki Davidi bibundeli na ye moko: atiaki ye ekoti ya bronze na moto mpe alatisaki ye ebombelo ya tolo.
39 David strapped his sword over the tunic and tried to walk, but he was not accustomed to them. “I cannot walk in these,” David said to Saul. “I am not accustomed to them.” So David took them off.
Na likolo ya elamba ya ebende, Davidi atiaki lisusu, na mokaba na ye, mopanga ya Saulo; mpe amekaki kotambola na yango, pamba te atikalaki nanu komesana na yango te. Davidi alobaki na Saulo: — Nakokoka te kotambola na biloko oyo nyonso, pamba te namesana na yango te! Bongo Davidi alongolaki yango na nzoto na ye.
40 And David took his staff in his hand, selected five smooth stones from the brook, and put them in the pouch of his shepherd’s bag. And with his sling in hand, he approached the Philistine.
Asimbaki kaka lingenda na ye na loboko, aponaki mabanga mitano ya moselu kati na moluka ya lubwaku mpe atiaki yango na libenga na ye ya mobateli bibwele; asimbaki ebambelo mabanga na loboko mpe apusanaki epai ya moto ya Filisitia.
41 Now the Philistine came closer and closer to David, with his shield-bearer before him.
Kaka na tango yango, moto ya Filisitia elongo na moto oyo amemelaki ye nguba bapusanaki pene ya Davidi; moto oyo amemaki nguba nde azalaki liboso.
42 When the Philistine looked and saw David, he despised him because he was just a boy, ruddy and handsome.
Tango moto ya Filisitia atalaki mpe amonaki Davidi, atiolaki ye; pamba te azalaki na ye kaka mwa elenge mobali oyo azalaki na poso kitoko ya nzoto mpe na elongi kitoko.
43 “Am I a dog,” he said to David, “that you come at me with sticks?” And the Philistine cursed David by his gods.
Moto ya Filisitia alobaki na Davidi: — Boni, ngai nazali mbwa mpo ete oya kobundisa ngai na lingenda? Bongo alakelaki Davidi mabe na nzela ya banzambe na ye.
44 “Come here,” he called to David, “and I will give your flesh to the birds of the air and the beasts of the field!”
Moto ya Filisitia alobaki lisusu na Davidi: — Pusana awa, nakopesa mosuni na yo epai ya bandeke ya likolo mpe epai ya banyama ya zamba.
45 But David said to the Philistine, “You come against me with sword and spear and javelin, but I come against you in the name of the LORD of Hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied.
Davidi alobaki na moto ya Filisitia: — Ozali koya kobundisa ngai na mopanga, na likonga ya monene mpe na likonga ya moke. Kasi ngai nayei kobundisa yo na Kombo na Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, Nzambe ya mampinga ya Isalaele, oyo yo ozali kotiola.
46 This day the LORD will deliver you into my hand. This day I will strike you down, cut off your head, and give the carcasses of the Philistines to the birds of the air and the creatures of the earth. Then the whole world will know that there is a God in Israel.
Na mokolo ya lelo, Yawe akokaba yo na maboko na ngai; nakoboma yo mpe nakokata moto na yo. Na mokolo ya lelo kaka, nakopesa bibembe ya mampinga ya Filisitia epai ya bandeke ya likolo mpe epai ya banyama ya mokili; mpe mokili mobimba ekoyeba ete ezali na Nzambe moko kati na Isalaele.
47 And all those assembled here will know that it is not by sword or spear that the LORD saves; for the battle is the LORD’s, and He will give all of you into our hands.”
Bato nyonso oyo basangani awa bakoyeba ete ezali na mopanga te to na likonga ya monene te nde Yawe abikisaka. Pamba te bitumba ezali ya Yawe, mpe Ye akokaba bino na maboko na biso.
48 As the Philistine started forward to attack him, David ran quickly toward the battle line to meet him.
Wana moto ya Filisitia amibongisaki mpo na kokende kobundisa Davidi, Davidi akimaki mbangu na molongo ya liboso ya bitumba mpo na kokutana na moto ya Filisitia.
49 Then David reached into his bag, took out a stone, and slung it, striking the Philistine on the forehead. The stone sank into his forehead, and he fell facedown on the ground.
Davidi akotisaki loboko na ye kati na libenga na ye, azwaki libanga moko mpe abambaki yango na nzela ya ebambelo na ye ya mabanga; abetaki moto ya Filisitia na elongi. Libanga ekotaki kati na elongi ya moto ya Filisitia, mpe akweyaki elongi kino na mabele.
50 Thus David prevailed over the Philistine with a sling and a stone; without a sword in his hand he struck down the Philistine and killed him.
Boye, Davidi alongaki moto ya Filisitia na nzela ya ebambelo mabanga na ye mpe na nzela ya libanga moko. Davidi abetaki moto ya Filisitia mpe abomaki ye, azalaki ata na mopanga te na loboko na ye.
51 David ran and stood over him. He grabbed the Philistine’s sword and pulled it from its sheath and killed him; and he cut off his head with the sword. When the Philistines saw that their hero was dead, they turned and ran.
Davidi akimaki mbangu mpe atelemaki na likolo ya moto ya Filisitia, asimbaki mopanga ya moto ya Filisitia, abimisaki yango na ebombelo na yango, abomaki ye, mpe akataki moto na ye na nzela ya mopanga yango. Tango mampinga ya Filisitia bamonaki ete elombe na bango akufi, bakimaki.
52 Then the men of Israel and Judah charged forward with a shout and pursued the Philistines to the entrance of Gath and to the gates of Ekron. And the bodies of the Philistines were strewn along the Shaaraim road to Gath and Ekron.
Bato ya Isalaele mpe bato ya Yuda babimaki na mbala moko, bagangaki mpe balandaki bato ya Filisitia kino na ebandeli ya lubwaku mpe kino na bikuke ya Ekroni. Bibembe ya bato ya Filisitia etandamaki na nzela oyo ekenda na Shaarayimi kino na Gati mpe kino na Ekroni.
53 When the Israelites returned from their pursuit of the Philistines, they plundered their camps.
Tango bato ya Isalaele batikaki kolanda bato ya Filisitia, bazongaki mpo na kozwa na makasi biloko oyo ezalaki kati na molako ya bato ya Filisitia.
54 David took the head of the Philistine and brought it to Jerusalem, and he put Goliath’s weapons in his own tent.
Davidi azwaki moto ya moto ya Filisitia mpe amemaki yango na Yelusalemi; bongo azwaki bibundeli ya moto ya Filisitia mpe atiaki yango kati na ndako na ye ya kapo.
55 As Saul had watched David going out to confront the Philistine, he said to Abner the commander of the army, “Abner, whose son is this young man?” “As surely as you live, O king,” Abner replied, “I do not know.”
Tango Saulo amonaki Davidi kokende kobundisa moto ya Filisitia, atunaki Abineri, mokonzi ya mampinga: — Elenge mobali oyo azali mwana ya nani? Abineri azongisaki: — Na kombo na yo mokonzi, nayebi te.
56 “Find out whose son this young man is!” said the king.
Mokonzi alobaki: — Tuna mpo na koyeba soki elenge mobali oyo azali mwana ya nani?
57 So when David returned from killing the Philistine, still holding his head in his hand, Abner took him and brought him before Saul.
Tango kaka Davidi azongaki sima na ye koboma moto ya Filisitia, Abineri azwaki ye mpe amemaki ye na liboso ya Saulo. Davidi asimbaki na loboko na ye moto ya moto ya Filisitia.
58 “Whose son are you, young man?” asked Saul. “I am the son of your servant Jesse of Bethlehem,” David replied.
Saulo atunaki Davidi: — Ozali mwana ya nani? Elenge mobali Davidi azongisaki: — Nazali mwana ya mosali na yo, Izayi, moto ya Beteleemi.
