2 Samuel 21
1 During the reign of David there was a famine for three successive years, and David sought the face of the LORD. And the LORD said, “It is because of the blood shed by Saul and his family, because he killed the Gibeonites.”
Tango Davidi azalaki mokonzi, nzala makasi ekotaki mpe esalaki mibu misato. Davidi atunaki Yawe, mpe Yawe alobaki na ye: « Ezali mpo na Saulo mpe libota na ye oyo esopaki makila, pamba te babomaki bato ya Gabaoni. »
2 At this, David summoned the Gibeonites and spoke to them. (Now the Gibeonites were not Israelites, but a remnant of the Amorites. The Israelites had taken an oath concerning them, but in his zeal for Israel and Judah, Saul had sought to kill them.)
Mokonzi abengisaki bato ya Gabaoni mpo na kosolola na bango. Nzokande bato ya Gabaoni bazalaki kotangama te kati na bato ya Isalaele, kasi bakanganaki na batikali kati na bato ya Amori; bongo bato ya Isalaele bakanganaki na bato ya Amori, na nzela ya ndayi, mpo na kotika bango na bomoi. Kasi Saulo, na bolingo na ye oyo eleka ndelo mpo na Isalaele mpe Yuda, alukaki kosilisa koboma bango.
3 So David asked the Gibeonites, “What shall I do for you? How can I make amends so that you may bless the inheritance of the LORD?”
Davidi atunaki bato ya Gabaoni: — Eloko nini nakoki kosala mpo na bino? Na mabe oyo basalaki bino, ndenge nini nakoki kobongisa makambo mpo ete bopambola libula na Yawe?
4 The Gibeonites said to him, “We need no silver or gold from Saul or his house, nor should you put to death anyone in Israel for us.” “Whatever you ask, I will do for you,” he replied.
Bato ya Gabaoni bazongiselaki ye: — Mpo na kobongisa makambo na biso elongo na Saulo mpe libota na ye, tozali na posa te ya palata to ya wolo; tokoki mpe te koboma ata moto moko kati na Isalaele. Davidi atunaki lisusu: — Bolingi ete ngai nasala nini mpo na bino?
5 And they answered the king, “As for the man who consumed us and plotted against us to exterminate us from existing within any border of Israel,
Bazongiselaki mokonzi: — Lokola tata wana alingaki kosilisa koboma biso mpe asalaki mabongisi ya kobebisa biso mpo ete tolimwa kati na mokili mobimba ya Isalaele,
6 let seven of his male descendants be delivered to us so that we may hang them before the LORD at Gibeah of Saul, the chosen of the LORD.” “I will give them to you,” said the king.
tika ete mokonzi akaba na maboko na biso mibali sambo kati na bakitani ya Saulo mpo ete todiembika banzoto na bango liboso ya Yawe, na Gibea, engumba ya Saulo, moponami na Yawe. Mokonzi alobaki: — Nakopesa bino bango.
7 Now the king spared Mephibosheth son of Jonathan, the son of Saul, because of the oath before the LORD between David and Jonathan son of Saul.
Mokonzi atikaki na bomoi Mefibosheti, mwana mobali ya Jonatan, mwana mobali ya Saulo, mpo na boyokani oyo ezalaki kati na bango mibale, Davidi mpe Jonatan, mwana mobali ya Saulo, tango Davidi alapaki ndayi na Kombo na Yawe.
8 But the king took Armoni and Mephibosheth, the two sons whom Rizpah daughter of Aiah had borne to Saul, as well as the five sons whom Merab daughter of Saul had borne to Adriel son of Barzillai the Meholathite.
Kasi mokonzi akangaki Arimoni mpe Mefibosheti, bana mibali oyo Ritsipa, mwana mwasi ya Aya, abotelaki Saulo; akangaki lisusu bana mibali mitano oyo Mikali, mwana mwasi ya Saulo, abotelaki Adriyeli, mwana mobali ya Barizilayi, moto ya Meola;
9 And he delivered them into the hands of the Gibeonites, and they hanged them on the hill before the LORD. So all seven of them fell together; they were put to death in the first days of the harvest, at the beginning of the barley harvest.
akabaki bango na maboko ya bato ya Gabaoni. Bongo bato ya Gabaoni babomaki bango mpe badiembikaki banzoto na bango na ngomba liboso ya Yawe. Bango nyonso sambo bakufaki elongo. Babomaki bango na mikolo ya liboso ya tango ya kobuka bambuma, kaka na ebandeli ya tango oyo babukaki bambuma ya orje.
10 And Rizpah the daughter of Aiah took sackcloth and spread it out for herself on a rock. From the beginning of the harvest until the rain from heaven poured down on the bodies, she did not allow the birds of the air to rest on them by day, nor the beasts of the field by night.
Bongo Ritsipa, mwana mwasi ya Aya, alongolaki elamba ya saki oyo alataki mpe atandaki yango na libanga; avandaki wana, wuta na ebandeli ya tango ya kobuka bambuma ya orje kino na eleko oyo mvula enokelaki bibembe. Na moyi, apekisaki bandeke ya likolo kokita na likolo ya bibembe yango; mpe na butu, abenganaki banyama ya zamba.
11 When David was told what Saul’s concubine Rizpah, daughter of Aiah, had done,
Davidi ayokaki makambo oyo Ritsipa, mwana mwasi ya Aya, makangu ya Saulo, asalaki.
12 he went and took the bones of Saul and his son Jonathan from the men of Jabesh-gilead, who had stolen them from the public square of Beth-shan where the Philistines had hung the bodies after they had struck down Saul at Gilboa.
Bongo Davidi akendeki kozwa mikuwa ya Saulo mpe ya Jonatan, mwana na ye ya mobali, epai ya bakambi ya Yabeshi ya Galadi, oyo bayibaki yango na libanda ya Beti-Sheani epai wapi bato ya Filisitia badiembikaki yango mokolo oyo babomaki Saulo, na Giliboa.
13 So David had the bones of Saul and his son Jonathan brought from there, along with the bones of those who had been hanged.
Wuta kuna, Davidi amemaki mikuwa ya Saulo mpe ya Jonatan, mwana na ye ya mobali; asangisaki mpe mikuwa ya bato sambo oyo babomaki mpe badiembikaki.
14 And they buried the bones of Saul and his son Jonathan in Zela in the land of Benjamin, in the tomb of Saul’s father Kish. After they had done everything the king had commanded, God answered their prayers for the land.
Bakundaki mikuwa ya Saulo mpe ya mwana na ye ya mobali, Jonatan, kati na kunda ya Kishi, tata ya Saulo, na Tsela kati na etuka ya Benjame. Basalaki makambo nyonso oyo mokonzi atindaki. Sima na yango, Nzambe ayanolaki losambo mpo na mokili ya Isalaele.
15 Once again the Philistines waged war against Israel, and David and his servants went down and fought against the Philistines; but David became exhausted.
Bitumba ezalaki lisusu kati ya bato ya Filisitia mpe bato ya Isalaele. Davidi akitaki elongo na basoda na ye mpo na kobundisa bato ya Filisitia; mpe Davidi alembaki.
16 Then Ishbi-benob, a descendant of Rapha, whose bronze spear weighed three hundred shekels and who was bearing a new sword, resolved to kill David.
Yishibi-Benobi, mokitani ya Rafa, azalaki na mopanga ya sika, likonga oyo songe na yango ezalaki ya bronze mpe ezalaki ya bakilo koleka misato; mpe abetaki tolo ete akoboma Davidi.
17 But Abishai son of Zeruiah came to his aid, struck the Philistine, and killed him. Then David’s men swore to him, “You must never again go out with us to battle, so that the lamp of Israel may not be extinguished.”
Kasi Abishayi, mwana mobali ya Tseruya, ayaki kosunga Davidi, abetaki moto ya Filisitia mpe abomaki ye. Boye bato ya Davidi bakataki seleka epai ya mokonzi, balobaki: « Okobima lisusu te elongo na biso na bitumba mpo ete mwinda ya Isalaele ekufa te. »
18 Some time later at Gob, there was another battle with the Philistines. At that time Sibbecai the Hushathite killed Saph, one of the descendants of Rapha.
Sima na mwa tango, ezalaki lisusu na bitumba na bato ya Filisitia, kuna na mboka Gobi. Ezalaki na tango yango nde Sibekayi, moto ya Usha, abomaki Safi, moko kati na bakitani ya Rafa.
19 Once again there was a battle with the Philistines at Gob, and Elhanan son of Jair the Bethlehemite killed the brother of Goliath the Gittite, the shaft of whose spear was like a weaver’s beam.
Ezalaki lisusu na bitumba na bato ya Filisitia, kuna na Gobi; mpe Elanani, mwana mobali ya Yare-Oregimi, moto ya Beteleemi, abomaki Goliati, moto ya Gati, oyo nzete ya likonga na ye ezalaki monene lokola libaya oyo basali bilamba na maboko basalelaka.
20 And there was still another battle at Gath, where there was a man of great stature with six fingers on each hand and six toes on each foot—twenty-four in all. He too was descended from Rapha,
Ezalaki lisusu na bitumba oyo esalemaki kuna na Gati; mpe ezalaki kuna na mbinga mobali moko, mokitani ya Rafa, oyo azalaki na misapi motoba na loboko moko na moko, mpe misapi motoba na lokolo moko na moko. Na kosangisa, azalaki na misapi tuku mibale na minei.
21 and when he taunted Israel, Jonathan the son of David’s brother Shimei killed him.
Atiolaki Isalaele; mpe Jonatan, mwana mobali ya Shimea mpe ndeko mobali ya Davidi, abomaki ye.
22 So these four descendants of Rapha in Gath fell at the hands of David and his servants.
Bango minei bazalaki bakitani ya Rafa, babotama na Gati mpe bakufaki liboso ya Davidi mpe ya basoda na ye.
