1 Kings 2
1 Now the time of David's death came near; and he gave orders to Solomon his son, saying,
Tango Davidi akomaki pene ya kokufa, apesaki malako oyo epai ya Salomo, mwana na ye ya mobali:
2 I am going the way of all the earth: so be strong and be a man;
— Nalingi kokende na nzela oyo bato nyonso bakendaka. Zala makasi, lakisa ete ozali mobali.
3 And keep the orders of the Lord your God, walking in his ways, keeping his laws and his orders and his rules and his words, as they are recorded in the law of Moses; so that you may do well in all you do and wherever you go,
Sala makambo oyo Yawe, Nzambe na yo, alingaka: tambola na banzela na Ye, batela malako mpe bikateli na Ye, mibeko mpe mitindo na Ye, ndenge ekomama kati na Mobeko ya Moyize, mpo ete olonga na makambo nyonso oyo okosala mpe na bisika nyonso oyo okokende;
4 So that the Lord may give effect to what he said of me, If your children give attention to their ways, living uprightly before me with all their heart and their soul, you will never be without a man to be king in Israel.
mpe mpo ete Yawe akokisa elaka oyo apesaki ngai na maloba oyo: « Soki bakitani na yo basali keba na etamboli na bango, soki batamboli liboso na ngai na bosembo, na mitema na bango mobimba, ekozala tango nyonso na moko kati na bakitani na yo, oyo akovanda na kiti ya bokonzi ya Isalaele.
5 Now you have knowledge of what Joab, the son of Zeruiah, did to me, and to the two captains of the army of Israel, Abner, the son of Ner, and Amasa, the son of Jether, whom he put to death, taking payment for the blood of war in time of peace, and making the band of my clothing and the shoes on my feet red with the blood of one put to death without cause.
Sik’oyo, yo moko oyebi makambo oyo Joabi, mwana mobali ya Tseruya, asalaki ngai; makambo oyo asalaki bakonzi mibale ya mampinga ya Isalaele: Abineri, mwana mobali ya Neri; mpe Amasa, mwana mobali ya Yeteri. Abomaki bango, asopaki makila ya bitumba na tango ya kimia; boye, atiaki makila ya bitumba na mokaba oyo alataki na loketo na ye, mpe na basandale oyo ezalaki na makolo na ye.
6 So be guided by your wisdom, and let not his white head go down to the underworld in peace. (Sheol h7585)
Salela ye kolanda bwanya na yo mpe kotika te ete suki na ye ya pembe ekita na kimia na mboka ya bakufi. (Sheol h7585)
7 But be good to the sons of Barzillai the Gileadite, and let them be guests at your table; for so they came to me when I went in flight from Absalom your brother.
Kasi talisa bolamu epai ya bana mibali ya Barizilayi, moto ya Galadi; mpe sala ete bazala kati na bato oyo bakobanda kolia mesa moko elongo na yo, pamba te basungaki ngai tango nazalaki kokima Abisalomi, ndeko na yo ya mobali.
8 Now you have with you Shimei, the son of Gera the Benjamite of Bahurim, who put a bitter curse on me on the day when I went to Mahanaim; but he came down to see me at Jordan, and I gave him my oath by the Lord, saying, I will not put you to death by the sword.
Mpe yeba ete, elongo na yo, ozali na Shimei, mwana mobali ya Gera, moto ya Benjame, na mboka Bawurimi, oyo alakelaki ngai mabe makasi na mokolo oyo nazalaki kokende na Maanayimi. Tango ayaki kokutana na ngai na Yordani, nalapaki ndayi oyo mpo na ye na Kombo na Yawe: ‹ Nakoboma yo na mopanga te. ›
9 But do not let him be free from punishment, for you are a wise man; and it will be clear to you what you have to do with him; see that his white head goes down to the underworld in blood. (Sheol h7585)
Kasi sik’oyo, kozwa ye te lokola moto oyo asali mabe te. Ozali na bwanya, okoyeba nini osengeli kosala mpo na ye. Kitisa suki na ye ya pembe kati na makila, na mboka ya bakufi. » (Sheol h7585)
10 Then David went to rest with his fathers, and his body was put into the earth in the town of David.
Davidi akendeki kokutana na bakoko na ye, mpe bakundaki ye kati na engumba ya Davidi.
11 David was king over Israel for forty years: for seven years he was king in Hebron and for thirty-three years in Jerusalem.
Davidi akonzaki Isalaele mibu tuku minei: mibu sambo na Ebron, mpe mibu tuku misato na misato na Yelusalemi.
12 And Solomon took his place on the seat of David his father, and his kingdom was made safe and strong.
Salomo avandaki na kiti ya bokonzi ya Davidi, tata na ye, mpe bokonzi na ye elendisamaki.
13 Then Adonijah, the son of Haggith, came to Bath-sheba, the mother of Solomon. And she said, Come you in peace? And he said, Yes, in peace.
Adoniya, mwana mobali ya Agite, akendeki epai ya Batisheba, mama ya Salomo. Batisheba atunaki ye: — Boni, oyei kotala ngai na kimia? Azongisaki: — Iyo, nayei na kimia.
14 Then he said, I have something to say to you. And she said, Say on.
Abakisaki: — Nazali na likambo moko ya koyebisa yo. Batisheba azongisaki: — Okoki koloba yango.
15 And he said, You saw how the kingdom was mine, and all Israel had the idea that I would be their king; but now the kingdom is turned about, and has become my brother's, for it was given to him by the Lord.
Adoniya alobaki: — Lokola oyebi yango, bokonzi ezalaki ya ngai; bato nyonso ya Isalaele bazwaki ngai lokola mokonzi na bango, kasi makambo ebongwanaki mpe bokonzi ekeyi epai ya ndeko na ngai ya mobali, pamba te epesamelaki ye wuta na Yawe.
16 Now I have one request to make to you, and do not say, No, to me. And she said to him, Say on.
Sik’oyo, nazali na bosenga moko, kopimela ngai yango te. Batisheba alobaki: — Okoki koloba yango.
17 Then he said, Will you go to Solomon the king (for he will not say, No, to you) and put before him my request that he will give me Abishag the Shunammite for a wife?
Adoniya alobaki: — Nabondeli yo, loba na mokonzi Salomo ete apesa ngai Abishagi, moto ya Sunami, mpo ete akoma mwasi na ngai, pamba te mokonzi akoki koboya te koyokela yo.
18 And Bath-sheba said, Good! I will make your request to the king.
Batisheba azongisaki: — Malamu! Ngai moko nakolobela yo epai ya mokonzi.
19 So Bath-sheba went to King Solomon to have talk with him on Adonijah's account. And the king got up to come to her, and went down low to the earth before her; then he took his place on the king's seat and had a seat made ready for the king's mother and she took her place at his right hand.
Tango Batisheba akendeki epai ya mokonzi Salomo mpo na kolobela Adoniya, mokonzi atelemaki mpo na kokutana na Batisheba, agumbamaki liboso na ye mpe avandaki na kiti na ye ya bokonzi. Asengaki ete batia kiti mpo na mama ya mokonzi, mpe Batisheba avandaki na ngambo ya loboko ya mobali ya mokonzi.
20 Then she said, I have one small request to make to you; do not say, No, to me. And the king said, Say on, my mother, for I will not say, No, to you.
Batisheba alobaki: — Nazali na bosenga moko ya moke mpo na koyebisa yo, kasi kopimela ngai yango te. Mokonzi azongisaki: — Loba na yo, mama na ngai; nakopimela yo yango te.
21 And she said, Let Abishag the Shunammite be given to Adonijah your brother for a wife.
Batisheba alobaki: — Tika ete Abishagi, moto ya Sunami, akoma mwasi ya Adoniya, ndeko na yo ya mobali.
22 Then King Solomon made answer and said to his mother, Why are you requesting me to give Abishag the Shunammite to Adonijah? Take the kingdom for him in addition, for he is my older brother, and Abiathar the priest and Joab, the son of Zeruiah, are on his side.
Mokonzi Salomo azongiselaki mama na ye: — Mpo na nini ozali kosenga Abishagi, moto ya Sunami, mpo na Adoniya? Okokaki mpe kosenga bokonzi mpo na ye, mpo ete azali yaya na ngai; ndenge moko mpe mpo na Nganga-Nzambe Abiatari, mpo na Joabi, mwana mobali ya Tseruya!
23 Then King Solomon took an oath by the Lord, saying, May God's punishment be on me if Adonijah does not give payment for these words with his life.
Bongo, mokonzi Salomo alapaki ndayi na Kombo na Yawe: — Tika ete Nzambe apesa ngai etumbu ya makasi soki Adoniya akufi te mpo na bosenga oyo!
24 Now by the living Lord, who has given me my place on the seat of David my father, and made me one of a line of kings, as he gave me his word, truly Adonijah will be put to death this day.
Mpe sik’oyo, na Kombo na Yawe oyo alendisi ngai na kiti ya bokonzi ya Davidi, tata na ngai, mpe oyo asali ete bokonzi ezala na libota na ngai ndenge alapaki yango na ndayi, Adoniya akokufa kaka lelo.
25 And King Solomon sent Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, and he made an attack on him and put him to death.
Mokonzi Salomo atindaki Benaya, mwana mobali ya Yeoyada, kobeta Adoniya; mpe Adoniya akufaki.
26 And to Abiathar the priest the king said, Go to Anathoth, to your fields; for death would be your right reward; but I will not put you to death now, because you took up the ark of the Lord God before David my father, and you were with him in all his troubles.
Mokonzi alobaki na Nganga-Nzambe Abiatari: — Zonga na bilanga na yo, na Anatoti, pamba te osengeli kokufa. Kasi nakoboma yo sik’oyo te, pamba te omemaki Sanduku ya Nkolo Yawe liboso ya Davidi, tata na ngai, mpe okabolaki na ye pasi nyonso.
27 So Solomon let Abiathar be priest no longer, so that he might make the word of the Lord come true which he said about the sons of Eli in Shiloh.
Boye, Salomo alongolaki Abiatari na mosala na ye ya Nganga-Nzambe ya Yawe, mpo na kokokisa maloba oyo Yawe alobaki na Silo na tina na libota ya Eli.
28 And news of this came to Joab; for Joab had been one of Adonijah's supporters, though he had not been on Absalom's side. Then Joab went in flight to the Tent of the Lord, and put his hands on the horns of the altar.
Tango sango ekomaki epai ya Joabi, ye oyo abundelaki Adoniya kasi Abisalomi te, akimaki na Ndako ya kapo ya Yawe mpe asimbaki maseke ya etumbelo.
29 And they said to King Solomon, Joab has gone in flight to the Tent of the Lord and is by the altar. Then Solomon sent Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, saying, Go, make an attack on him.
Bayebisaki Salomo ete Joabi akei na Ndako ya kapo ya Yawe mpe azali pembeni ya maseke ya etumbelo. Salomo atindaki Benaya, mwana mobali ya Yeoyada, ete akende koboma ye.
30 And Benaiah came to the Tent of the Lord and said to him, The king says, Come out. And he said, No; but let death come to me here. And Benaiah went back to the king and gave him word of the answer which Joab had given.
Benaya akotaki na Ndako ya kapo ya Yawe mpe alobaki na Joabi: — Mokonzi alobi ete obima. Kasi Joabi azongisaki: — Te, nakokufela kaka awa! Benaya azongaki epai ya mokonzi mpo na koyebisa ye eyano ya Joabi.
31 And the king said, Do as he has said and make an attack on him there, and put his body into the earth; so that you may take away from me and from my family the blood of one put to death by Joab without cause.
Mokonzi apesaki ye mitindo: — Sala ndenge alobi; boma ye mpe kunda ye. Na bongo nde okolongola likolo ya moto na ngai mpe ya libota ya tata na ngai, ngambo ya makila oyo Joabi asopaki na pamba.
32 And the Lord will send back his blood on his head, because of the attack he made on two men more upright and better than himself, putting them to the sword without my father's knowledge; even Abner, the son of Ner, captain of the army of Israel, and Amasa, the son of Jether, captain of the army of Judah.
Tika ete Yawe akweyisa likolo na ye moko mokumba ya makila oyo asopaki, pamba te abundisaki bato mibale mpe abomaki bango na mopanga; tata na ngai, Davidi, ayebaki kutu te. Tala bakombo ya bato mibale yango: Abineri, mwana mobali ya Neri, mokonzi ya mampinga ya Isalaele; mpe Amasa, mwana mobali ya Yeteri, mokonzi ya mampinga ya Yuda; bazalaki bato malamu mpe ya sembo koleka ye.
33 So their blood will be on the head of Joab, and on the head of his seed for ever; but for David and his seed and his family and the seat of his kingdom, there will be peace for ever from the Lord.
Tika ete ngambo ya makila na bango ezala mpo na libela likolo ya moto ya Joabi mpe ya bana na ye. Kasi tika ete kimia ya Yawe ezala mpo na libela na Davidi, na bana na ye, na libota na ye mpe na kiti na ye ya bokonzi.
34 So Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, went up, and falling on him, put him to death; and his body was put to rest in his house in the waste land.
Benaya, mwana mobali ya Yeoyada, akendeki kobeta Joabi mpe abomaki ye. Bakundaki ye na ndako na ye moko, kati na esobe.
35 And the king put Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, in his place over the army; and Zadok the priest he put in the place of Abiathar.
Mokonzi akomisaki Benaya, mwana mobali ya Yeoyada, mokonzi ya mampinga na esika ya Joabi, mpe atiaki Nganga-Nzambe Tsadoki na esika ya Abiatari.
36 Then the king sent for Shimei, and said to him, Make a house for yourself in Jerusalem and keep there and go to no other place.
Mokonzi abengisaki Shimei mpe alobaki na ye: — Tonga ndako kati na Yelusalemi mpe vanda kuna. Okokende esika mosusu te.
37 For be certain that on the day when you go out and go over the stream Kidron, death will overtake you: and your blood will be on your head.
Mokolo oyo okobima mpe okokatisa lubwaku ya Sedron, okokufa, mpe makila na yo ekotangama na moto na yo moko.
38 And Shimei said to the king, Very well! as my lord the king has said, so will your servant do. And for a long time Shimei went on living in Jerusalem.
Shimei azongiselaki mokonzi: — Makambo oyo olobi ezali malamu! Mowumbu na yo akosala ndenge mokonzi, nkolo na ngai, alobi. Shimei avandaki na Yelusalemi mikolo ebele.
39 But after three years, two of the servants of Shimei went in flight to Achish, son of Maacah, king of Gath. And word was given to Shimei that his servants had gone to Gath.
Kasi sima na mibu misato, bawumbu mibale kati na bawumbu ya Shimei bakimaki epai ya Akishi, mwana mobali ya Maaka, mokonzi ya Gati. Bayebisaki Shimei ete bawumbu na ye bazali na Gati.
40 Then Shimei got up, and making ready his ass, he went to Gath, to Achish, in search of his servants; and he sent and got them from Gath.
Tango Shimei ayokaki bongo, abongisaki ane na ye mpe akendeki epai ya Akishi, na Gati, mpo na koluka bawumbu na ye. Shimei akendeki penza na Gati mpe azongisaki bawumbu yango na Yelusalemi.
41 And news was given to Solomon that Shimei had gone from Jerusalem to Gath and had come back again.
Bamemelaki Salomo sango ete Shimei alongwaki na Yelusalemi, akendeki na Gati mpe azongi.
42 Then the king sent for Shimei, and said to him, Did I not make you take an oath by the Lord, protesting to you and saying, Be certain that on the day when you go out from here, wherever you go, death will overtake you? and you said to me, Very well!
Mokonzi abengisaki Shimei mpe alobaki na ye: — Nalapisaki yo ndayi te na Kombo na Yawe mpe nakebisaki yo te ete mokolo oyo okobima mpo na kokende esika mosusu, okokufa penza? Mpe na mokolo yango, olobaki na ngai: « Makambo oyo olobi ezali malamu, nakotosa. »
43 Why then have you not kept the oath of the Lord and the order which I gave you?
Mpo na nini okokisi te ndayi na yo epai na Yawe mpo na kotosa mitindo oyo napesaki?
44 And the king said to Shimei, You have knowledge of all the evil which you did to David my father; and now the Lord has sent back your evil on yourself.
Mokonzi alobaki lisusu na Shimei: — Oyebi lisusu mabe nyonso oyo osalaki epai ya Davidi, tata na ngai! Boye, Yawe akomemisa yo ngambo ya mabe oyo yo moko osali.
45 But a blessing will be on King Solomon, and the kingdom of David will keep its place before the Lord for ever.
Kasi mokonzi Salomo akopambolama, mpe kiti ya bokonzi ya Davidi ekolendisama makasi liboso ya Yawe mpo na libela.
46 So the king gave orders to Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada; and he went out and, falling on him, put him to death. And Solomon's authority over the kingdom was complete.
Mokonzi apesaki mitindo epai ya Benaya, mwana mobali ya Yeoyada. Benaya abimaki, abetaki Shimei, mpe Shimei akufaki. Bokonzi elendisamaki na maboko ya Salomo.
