1 Samuel 25
1 When Samuel died, all Israel gathered to mourn for him; and they buried him at his home in Ramah. Then David set out and went down to the Wilderness of Paran.
Samuele akufaki, mpe Isalaele mobimba esanganaki mpo na kosala matanga na tina na ye; bongo bakundaki ye na mboka na ye, Rama. Davidi akendeki na esobe ya Parani.
2 Now there was a man in Maon whose business was in Carmel. He was a very wealthy man with a thousand goats and three thousand sheep, which he was shearing in Carmel.
Na mboka Maoni, ezalaki na moto moko ya bozwi oyo bomengo na ye ezalaki kati na mboka Karimeli. Azalaki na bameme ya mibali nkoto misato mpe bantaba ya basi nkoto moko. Na eleko oyo, azalaki kati na Karimeli epai wapi azalaki kokata bameme na ye bapwale.
3 His name was Nabal, and his wife’s name was Abigail. She was an intelligent and beautiful woman, but her husband, a Calebite, was harsh and evil in his dealings.
Kombo na ye ezalaki « Nabali, » mpe kombo ya mwasi na ye ezalaki « Abigayili. » Abigayili azalaki mwasi ya mayele mpe ya kitoko; kasi mobali na ye, moto ya etuka Kalebi, azalaki motema makasi mpe moto mabe.
4 While David was in the wilderness, he heard that Nabal was shearing sheep.
Wana Davidi azali kati na esobe, ayokaki ete Nabali azali kokata bameme na ye bapwale.
5 So David sent ten young men and instructed them, “Go up to Nabal at Carmel. Greet him in my name
Davidi atindaki bilenge mibali zomi, alobaki na bango: « Bokende na Karimeli epai ya Nabali mpe bopesa ye mbote na kombo na ngai.
6 and say to him, ‘Long life to you, and peace to you and your house and to all that belongs to you.
Boyebisa ye: ‹ Tika ete bomoi molayi epesamela yo! Tika ete kimia ezala na yo, na libota na yo mpe na nyonso oyo ezali ya yo!
7 Now I hear that it is time for shearing. When your shepherds were with us, we did not harass them, and nothing of theirs was missing the whole time they were in Carmel.
Nayoki ete bazali kokata bameme bapwale epai na yo. Nzokande, tango nyonso oyo babateli bibwele na yo bazalaki elongo na biso na Karimeli, tosalaki bango mabe ata moko te, mpe babungisaki ata eloko moko te.
8 Ask your young men, and they will tell you. So let my young men find favor with you, for we have come on the day of a feast. Please give whatever you can afford to your servants and to your son David.’”
Tuna basali na yo, bakoyebisa yo. Boye, tika ete bilenge mibali na ngai bazwa ngolu na miso na yo, lokola tokomi epai na yo na mokolo ya feti! Nabondeli yo, pesa na basali na yo mpe na Davidi, mwana na yo ya mobali, eloko nyonso oyo okokoka kozwa mpo na bango. › »
9 When David’s young men arrived, they relayed all these words to Nabal on behalf of David. Then they waited.
Tango bilenge mibali ya Davidi bakomaki epai ya Nabali, bayebisaki ye makambo oyo nyonso na kombo ya Davidi, mpe bazelaki.
10 But Nabal asked them, “Who is David? Who is this son of Jesse? Many servants these days are breaking away from their masters.
Kasi Nabali azongiselaki basali ya Davidi: « Davidi azali nani? Mwana mobali ya Izayi azali nani? Mikolo oyo, basali ebele bazali kokima bankolo na bango.
11 Why should I take my bread and water and the meat I have slaughtered for my shearers, and give them to these men whose origin I do not know?”
Mpo na nini nakamata mapa na ngai, mayi na ngai mpe mosuni, oyo nabongisi mpo na bato na ngai, oyo bakataka bapwale, mpo na kopesa yango epai ya bato oyo nayebi kutu epai bawuti te? »
12 So David’s men turned around and went back, and they relayed to him all these words.
Bilenge mibali ya Davidi babalukaki mpe bazongaki. Tango bakomaki, bayebisaki Davidi makambo oyo Nabali alobaki.
13 And David said to his men, “Strap on your swords!” So David and all his men put on their swords, and about four hundred men followed David, while two hundred stayed with the supplies.
Davidi alobaki na basoda na ye: « Tika ete moko na moko atia mopanga na ye na loketo. » Boye, batiaki mipanga na bango na loketo, mpe Davidi atiaki mpe oyo ya ye. Bato pene nkama minei bakendeki elongo na Davidi, mpe bato nkama mibale batikalaki mpo na kobatela biloko.
14 Meanwhile, one of Nabal’s young men informed Nabal’s wife Abigail, “Look, David sent messengers from the wilderness to greet our master, but he scolded them.
Moko kati na basali ya Nabali alobaki na Abigayili, mwasi ya Nabali: « Davidi atindaki bantoma wuta na esobe mpo na kopambola nkolo na biso, kasi ye atombokelaki bango.
15 Yet these men were very good to us. When we were in the field, we were not harassed, and nothing of ours went missing the whole time we lived among them.
Nzokande bato yango basalelaki biso penza bolamu, basalaki biso mabe ata moko te, mpe, tango nyonso totambolaki elongo na bango na zamba, tobungisaki ata eloko moko te.
16 They were a wall around us, both day and night, the whole time we were herding our sheep near them.
Butu mpe moyi, tango nyonso tozalaki koleisa bibwele na biso pene na bango, bazalaki lokola mir zingazinga na biso.
17 Now consider carefully what you must do, because disaster looms over our master and all his household. For he is such a scoundrel that nobody can speak to him!”
Sik’oyo, yeba kokanisa mpo na yango mpe tala eloko nini osengeli kosala, pamba te mokano ya koboma nkolo na biso mpe libota na ye mobimba esili kozwama. Nkolo na biso azali moto mabe koleka, boye moto moko te akoki kosolola na ye. »
18 Then Abigail hurried and took two hundred loaves of bread, two skins of wine, five butchered sheep, five seahs of roasted grain, a hundred clusters of raisins, and two hundred cakes of figs. She loaded them on donkeys
Abigayili asalaki na lombangu, azwaki mapa nkama mibale, bambeki mibale ya vino, bameme batumba mitano, bakilo tuku motoba na mibale na bagrame nkama mitano ya ble bakalinga, maboke nkama moko ya bambuma ya vino ekawuka mpe bagato nkama mibale basala na bambuma ya figi; mpe atiaki yango na likolo ya ba-ane.
19 and said to her young men, “Go ahead of me. I will be right behind you.” But she did not tell her husband Nabal.
Bongo alobaki na basali na ye: « Bokende liboso na ngai, nazali kolanda bino. » Kasi ayebisaki mobali na ye, Nabali, te.
20 As Abigail came riding her donkey into a mountain ravine, she saw David and his men coming down toward her, and she met them.
Wana Abigayili azalaki na likolo ya ane, azalaki kokita sima na ngomba. Na tango yango kaka, Davidi mpe bato na ye bazalaki mpe kokita na ngambo epai wapi Abigayili azalaki, mpe akutanaki na bango.
21 Now David had just finished saying, “In vain I have protected all that belonged to this man in the wilderness. Nothing that belongs to him has gone missing, yet he has paid me back evil for good.
Davidi awutaki komilobela: « Ezalaki na pamba nde nabatelaki biloko nyonso ya moto oyo kati na esobe mpo ete eloko moko te ebunga kati na biloko na ye nyonso! Azongiseli ngai mabe na esika ya bolamu oyo nasalelaki ye!
22 May God punish David, and ever so severely, if I let one of Nabal’s men survive until morning.”
Tika ete Nzambe apesa ngai Davidi etumbu ya makasi soki, kino lobi na tongo, natiki na bomoi mobali moko kati na bato nyonso oyo bazali ya Nabali! »
23 When Abigail saw David, she quickly got off the donkey, fell facedown, and bowed before him.
Tango Abigayili amonaki Davidi, akitaki na lombangu wuta na ane na ye mpe agumbamaki na liboso ya Davidi, elongi kino na mabele.
24 She fell at his feet and said, “My lord, may the blame be on me alone, but please let your servant speak to you; hear the words of your servant.
Akweyaki na makolo ya Davidi mpe alobaki: — Oh nkolo na ngai, tika ete mbeba ezala kaka na moto na ngai! Nabondeli yo, tika ete mwasi mosali na yo asolola na yo! Yoka makambo oyo mwasi mosali na yo alingi koyebisa yo.
25 My lord should pay no attention to this scoundrel Nabal, for he lives up to his name: His name means Fool, and folly accompanies him. I, your servant, did not see my lord’s young men whom you sent.
Tika ete nkolo na ngai atala te Nabali, mobali oyo ya mabe, pamba te azali penza ndenge kombo na ye ezali; kombo na ye ezali Nabali, mpe elingi koloba: moto ya liboma. Mpe liboma ezali penza kotambola elongo na ye. Ngai mwasi mosali na yo, namonaki te bilenge mibali oyo mokonzi na ngai atindaki.
26 Now, my lord, as surely as the LORD lives and you yourself live, the LORD has held you back from coming to bloodshed and avenging yourself with your own hand. May your enemies and those who seek harm for my lord be like Nabal.
Sik’oyo, nkolo na ngai, na Kombo na Yawe mpe na kombo na yo, lokola Yawe apesi yo nzela te ya koboma mpe ya kozongisa yo moko mabe na mabe, tika ete banguna na yo mpe bato nyonso oyo bazali makasi ya kosala mabe epai ya nkolo na ngai bazala lokola Nabali.
27 Now let this gift your servant has brought to my lord be given to the young men who follow you.
Mpe tika ete bakado oyo mwasi mosali na yo amemeli nkolo na ngai epesamela mibali oyo bazali kolanda yo.
28 Please forgive your servant’s offense, for the LORD will surely make a lasting dynasty for my lord, because he fights the LORD’s battles. May no evil be found in you as long as you live.
Nabondeli yo, limbisa mabe ya mwasi mosali na yo. Yawe akosala penza ete libota ya nkolo na ngai ewumela tango nyonso na bokonzi, pamba te obundaka bitumba ya Yawe. Tika ete, tango nyonso okozala na bomoi, mabe ata moko te emonana kati na yo.
29 And should someone pursue you and seek your life, then the life of my lord will be bound securely by the LORD your God in the bundle of the living. But He shall fling away the lives of your enemies like stones from a sling.
Ezala soki moto moko atelemi mpo na kolanda yo to mpo na koboma yo, Yawe, Nzambe na yo, akobatela malamu bomoi ya nkolo na ngai kati na bato ya bomoi, kasi akobwaka banguna na yo mosika lokola na ebambelo mabanga.
30 When the LORD has done for my lord all the good He promised, and when He has appointed you ruler over Israel,
Tango Yawe akokokisela nkolo na ngai bolamu nyonso oyo alakaki yo mpe akokomisa yo mokambi ya Isalaele,
31 then my lord will have no remorse or guilt of conscience over needless bloodshed and revenge. And when the LORD has dealt well with my lord, may you remember your maidservant.”
nkolo na ngai akoyoka mawa te na motema na ye mpe akomitungisa te na makanisi mpo ete asopaki makila na pamba mpe azongisaki ye moko mabe na mabe. Bongo tango Yawe akosalela nkolo na ngai bolamu, okokanisela mwasi mosali na yo.
32 Then David said to Abigail, “Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, who sent you to meet me this day!
Davidi azongiselaki Abigayili: — Tika ete apambolama, Yawe, Nzambe ya Isalaele, oyo atindi yo kokutana na ngai na mokolo ya lelo!
33 Blessed is your discernment, and blessed are you, because today you kept me from bloodshed and from avenging myself by my own hand.
Tika ete mayele na yo epambolama! Tika ete yo moko mpe opambolama mpo ete opesi ngai nzela te ya koboma mpe ya kozongisa ngai moko mabe na mabe!
34 Otherwise, as surely as the LORD, the God of Israel, lives, who has restrained me from harming you, if you had not come quickly to meet me, then surely no male belonging to Nabal would have been left alive by morning light.”
Nzokande, na Kombo na Yawe, Nzambe ya Isalaele, oyo apesi ngai nzela te ya kosala yo mabe, soki oyaki noki te mpo na kokutana na ngai, mobali moko te kati na ndako ya Nabali alingaki kotikala na bomoi kino lobi na tongo.
35 Then David accepted from her hand what she had brought him, and he said to her, “Go home in peace. See, I have heeded your voice and granted your request.”
Boye Davidi azwaki bakado oyo Abigayili amemelaki ye mpe alobaki: — Zonga epai na yo na kimia. Nayoki maloba na yo mpe nakosala ndenge osengi ngai.
36 When Abigail returned to Nabal, there he was in the house, holding a feast fit for a king, in high spirits and very drunk. So she told him nothing until morning light.
Tango Abigayili akomaki epai ya Nabali, akutaki Nabali azali kosala feti kati na ndako na ye ndenge penza mokonzi asalaka yango. Azalaki na loyenge mpe alangwaki makasi. Boye Abigayili ayebisaki ye eloko te kino na tongo ya mokolo oyo elandaki.
37 In the morning when Nabal was sober, his wife told him about these events, and his heart failed within him and he became like a stone.
Kasi na tongo, lokola milangwa na ye esilaki, mwasi na ye ayebisaki ye makambo nyonso oyo elekaki. Nabali ayokaki pasi na motema mpe akangamaki lokola libanga.
38 About ten days later, the LORD struck Nabal dead.
Sima na mikolo zomi, Yawe abetaki Nabali, mpe akufaki.
39 On hearing that Nabal was dead, David said, “Blessed be the LORD, who has upheld my cause against the reproach of Nabal and has restrained His servant from evil. For the LORD has brought the wickedness of Nabal down upon his own head.” Then David sent word to Abigail, asking for her in marriage.
Tango Davidi ayokaki ete Nabali akufi, alobaki: « Tika ete apambolama, Yawe oyo akoti likambo na ngai na ndenge Nabali atiolaki ngai! Apesi te na mosali na Ye nzela ya kosala mabe, kasi akweyisi mabe ya Nabali na moto na ye moko! » Bongo Davidi atindaki maloba epai ya Abigayili mpo na kosenga ye ete akoma mwasi na ye.
40 When his servants came to Abigail at Carmel, they said, “David has sent us to take you as his wife.”
Basali ya Davidi bakendeki na Karimeli mpe balobaki na Abigayili: — Davidi atindi biso epai na yo mpo ete toya kozwa yo mpo okoma mwasi na ye.
41 She arose, then bowed facedown and said, “Here is your maidservant, ready to serve and to wash the feet of my lord’s servants.”
Abigayili agumbamaki elongi kino na mabele mpe alobaki: — Mwasi mosali na yo, ye oyo! Abongami mpo na kosalela bino mpe mpo na kosukola makolo ya basali ya nkolo na ngai.
42 So Abigail hurried and got on a donkey, and attended by five of her maidens, she followed David’s messengers and became his wife.
Abigayili amataki na ane na lombangu mpe akendeki nzela moko na bantoma ya Davidi elongo na basali na ye mitano ya basi. Mpe akomaki mwasi ya Davidi.
43 David had also married Ahinoam of Jezreel. So she and Abigail were both his wives.
Davidi abalaki lisusu Ayinoami, moto ya Jizireyeli; mpe bango mibale bakomaki basi na ye.
44 But Saul had given his daughter Michal, David’s wife, to Palti son of Laish, who was from Gallim.
Kasi Saulo abalisaki Mikali, mwana na ye ya mwasi, oyo azalaki mwasi ya Davidi, epai ya Paliti, mwana mobali ya Laishi, moto na Galimi.
