1 Samuel 21
1 Then David came to Nob, to Ahimelech the priest. And when Ahimelech met David, he trembled and asked him, “Why are you alone? Why is no one with you?”
Davidi akendeki na mboka Nobi epai ya Nganga-Nzambe Ayimeleki. Ayimeleki alengaki mpe akimaki mbangu mpo na kokende koyamba ye. Atunaki na Davidi: — Mpo na nini ozali yo moko? Mpo na nini ezali na moto moko te elongo na yo?
2 “The king has given me a mission,” David replied. “He told me no one is to know about the mission or charge. And I have directed my young men to meet me at a certain place.
Davidi azongiselaki Nganga-Nzambe Ayimeleki: — Mokonzi apesaki ngai mosala moko boye mpe alobaki na ngai: « Tika ete moto moko te ayeba ata likambo moko na mosala oyo natindi yo. » Na tina na yango nde nasengaki na bato na ngai ete tokutana na esika moko.
3 Now then, what do you have on hand? Give me five loaves of bread, or whatever can be found.”
Bongo sik’oyo, osimbi eloko nini na loboko na yo? Pesa ngai mapa mitano to eloko nyonso oyo okoki kozala na yango.
4 “There is no common bread on hand,” the priest replied, “but there is some consecrated bread—provided that the young men have kept themselves from women.”
Kasi Nganga-Nzambe azongiselaki Davidi: — Na loboko na ngai, nazali na mapa te oyo toliaka mikolo nyonso, kasi ezali kaka na mapa oyo ebulisama. Bato na yo bakoki kolia yango soki kaka basangisaki banzoto te na basi.
5 David answered, “Women have indeed been kept from us, as is usual when I set out. And the equipment of the young men is holy, as it is even on common missions, and all the more at this time.”
Davidi azongiselaki Nganga-Nzambe: — Solo, bapekisa biso basi ndenge kaka ezalaka tango nyonso na makambo ya boye. Kutu tango nakendaka bitumba, biloko ya bato na ngai ebulisamaka. Atako mosala ya mokolo ya lelo ezalaki bule te, kasi ekomi bule mpo ete bibundeli ebulisami.
6 So the priest gave him the consecrated bread, since there was no bread there but the Bread of the Presence, which had been removed from before the LORD and replaced with hot bread on the day it was taken away.
Bongo Nganga-Nzambe apesaki ye mapa ebulisama, pamba te azalaki na mapa mosusu te. Ezalaki mapa oyo batiaki liboso ya Yawe, oyo bawuti kolongola na miso na Ye mpo na kotia mapa mosusu oyo ebimi sika na moto, na esika ya mapa oyo ya liboso.
7 Now one of Saul’s servants was there that day, detained before the LORD. And his name was Doeg the Edomite, the chief shepherd for Saul.
Nzokande na mokolo yango wana, ezalaki na mosali moko, kati na basali ya Saulo, oyo atikalaki kuna liboso ya Yawe. Kombo na ye ezalaki « Doegi. » Azalaki moto ya Edomi, mpe mokonzi ya babateli bibwele ya Saulo.
8 Then David asked Ahimelech, “Is there not a spear or sword on hand here? For I have brought neither my sword nor my weapons with me, because the king’s business was urgent.”
Davidi atunaki Ayimeleki: — Boni awa, ozali te ata na likonga moko to na mopanga na se na loboko na yo? Ngai namemaki te ezala mopanga na ngai to ebundeli na ngai mosusu, pamba te mosala ya mokonzi esengelaki kosalema na lombangu.
9 The priest replied, “The sword of Goliath the Philistine, whom you killed in the Valley of Elah, is here; it is wrapped in a cloth behind the ephod. If you want, you may take it. For there is no other but this one.” And David said, “There is none like it; give it to me.”
Nganga-Nzambe azongisaki: — Ezali awa na mopanga ya Goliati, moto ya Filisitia, oyo obomaki na lubwaku ya Terebente; balinga yango na elamba sima na efode. Soki olingi kozwa yango, zwa na yo; pamba te ezali awa na mopanga mosusu te, bobele oyo wana. Davidi alobaki: — Mopanga moko te ekokani na yango; pesa ngai yango.
10 That day David fled from Saul and went to Achish king of Gath.
Na mokolo wana kaka, Davidi atelemaki, akimaki Saulo mpe akendeki epai ya Akishi, mokonzi ya Gati.
11 But the servants of Achish said to him, “Is this not David, the king of the land? Did they not sing about him in their dances, saying: ‘Saul has slain his thousands, and David his tens of thousands’?”
Kasi basali ya Akishi balobaki na ye: « Moto oyo azali Davidi te, mokonzi ya mboka? Ezali ye te oyo bazali koyemba boye na kobina na tina na ye: ‹ Saulo abomaki bankoto, mpe Davidi abomaki bankoto zomi? › »
12 Now David took these words to heart and was very much afraid of Achish the king of Gath.
Davidi asimbamaki na maloba oyo mpe abangaki makasi Akishi, mokonzi ya Gati.
13 So he changed his behavior before them and feigned madness in their hands; he scratched on the doors of the gate and let his saliva run down his beard.
Mpe wana akosaki kobela liboma na miso ya bato ya Filisitia, akomaki kosala kati na bango makambo lokola moto ya liboma: kokoma na bikuke ya bandako, mpe kotika soyi kotanga ye na mandefu.
14 Then Achish said to his servants, “Look, you can see that the man is insane! Why have you brought him to me?
Akishi alobaki na basali na ye: « Botala tata oyo, azali moto ya liboma! Mpo na nini boyei na ye epai na ngai?
15 Am I in need of madmen, that you have brought this man to rave in my presence? Must this man come into my house?”
Boni, nazangi penza bato ya maboma mpo ete bomema mobali oyo awa, na tina ete aya kosala makambo na ye ya liboma? Boni, moto ya boye asengeli penza kokota na ndako na ngai? »
