2 Samuel 5
1 Then all the tribes of Israel came to David in Hebron and said, Truly, we are your bone and your flesh.
Bikolo nyonso ya Isalaele bayaki na Ebron epai ya Davidi mpe balobaki: « Biso na yo, tozali nzoto moko mpe makila moko.
2 In the past when Saul was king over us, it was you who went at the head of Israel when they went out or came in: and the Lord said to you, You are to be the keeper of my people Israel and their ruler.
Na kala, na mikolo oyo Saulo azalaki mokonzi, yo nde ozalaki kokamba mampinga ya Isalaele na bitumba. Nzokande, Yawe alobaki na yo: ‹ Yo nde okokamba bato na Ngai, Isalaele, mpe okokoma mokambi na bango. › »
3 So all the responsible men of Israel came to the king at Hebron; and King David made an agreement with them in Hebron before the Lord: and they put the holy oil on David and made him king over Israel.
Boye bampaka nyonso ya Isalaele bayaki na Ebron epai ya mokonzi. Mokonzi Davidi asalaki elongo na bango boyokani, na Ebron, liboso ya Yawe; mpe bapakolaki Davidi mafuta mpo ete akoma mokonzi ya Isalaele.
4 David was thirty years old when he became king, and he was king for forty years,
Davidi azalaki na mibu tuku misato ya mbotama tango akomaki mokonzi, mpe akonzaki mibu tuku minei:
5 Ruling over Judah in Hebron for seven years and six months, and in Jerusalem, over all Israel and Judah, for thirty-three years.
mibu sambo na basanza motoba lokola mokonzi ya Yuda, na Ebron; mpe mibu tuku misato na misato lokola mokonzi ya Isalaele mobimba mpe Yuda, na Yelusalemi.
6 And the king and his men went to Jerusalem against the Jebusites, the people of the land: and they said to David, You will not come in here, but the blind and the feeble-footed will keep you out; for they said, David will not be able to come in here.
Mokonzi mpe bato na ye bakendeki na Yelusalemi mpo na kobundisa bato ya Yebusi oyo bazalaki kovanda kuna. Bavandi ya Yebusi balobaki na Davidi: « Okokota awa te, pamba te ezala mokufi miso to moto ya tengu-tengu akobengana yo. » Bakanisaki ete Davidi akoki kokota kuna te.
7 But David took the strong place of Zion, which is the town of David.
Atako bongo, Davidi abotolaki ndako makasi ya Siona, oyo ezali engumba ya Davidi.
8 And that day David said, Whoever makes an attack on the Jebusites, let him go up by the water-pipe, and put to death all the blind and feeble-footed who are hated by David. And this is why they say, The blind and feeble-footed may not come into the house.
Na mokolo wana, Davidi alobaki: « Moto nyonso oyo alingi kobundisa bato ya Yebusi asengeli kozwa nzela ya se ya mabele mpo na kokanga bato ya tengu-tengu mpe bakufi miso oyo bazali banguna ya Davidi. » Yango wana balobaka: « Bakufi miso mpe bato ya tengu-tengu bakokota te na ndako ya mokonzi. »
9 So David took the strong tower for his living-place, naming it the town of David. And David took in hand the building of the town all round, starting from the Millo.
Davidi avandaki na ndako yango oyo batonga makasi mpe abengaki yango « Engumba ya Davidi. » Mpe Davidi atongaki zingazinga na yango, longwa na Milo kino na kati.
10 And David became greater and greater; for the Lord, the God of armies, was with him.
Nguya ya Davidi ezalaki komata se komata, mpe Yawe Nzambe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, azalaki elongo na ye.
11 And Hiram, king of Tyre, sent men to David, with cedar-trees and woodworkers and stoneworkers: and they made David a house.
Irami, mokonzi ya Tiri, atindaki bantoma epai ya Davidi mpo ete bamemela ye mabaya ya sedele, basharipantie mpe bato oyo bapasolaka mabanga; mpe batongelaki Davidi ndako.
12 And David saw that the Lord had made his position safe as king over Israel, and that he had made his kingdom great because of his people Israel.
Davidi asosolaki ete Yawe azali kolendisa ye lokola mokonzi ya Isalaele mpe azali kotombola bokonzi na ye mpo na Isalaele, bato na Ye.
13 And David took more women and wives in Jerusalem, after he had come from Hebron: and he had more sons and daughters.
Tango Davidi alongwaki na Ebron mpe akendeki kovanda kati na Yelusalemi, azwaki lisusu bamakangu mpe basi mosusu ebele oyo babotelaki ye bana mosusu ya mibali mpe ya basi.
14 These are the names of those whose birth took place in Jerusalem: Shammua and Shobab and Nathan and Solomon
Tala bakombo ya bana ya Davidi oyo babotamaki na Yelusalemi: Shamuwa, Shobabi, Natan, Salomo,
15 And Ibhar and Elishua and Nepheg and Japhia
Yibari, Elishuwa, Nefegi, Yafia,
16 And Elishama and Eliada and Eliphelet.
Elishama, Eliyada mpe Elifeleti.
17 And when the Philistines had news that David had been made king over Israel, they all went up in search of David; and David, hearing of it, went down to the strong place.
Tango bato ya Filisitia bayokaki ete bapakoli Davidi mafuta mpo ete akoma mokonzi ya Isalaele, bango nyonso bakendeki koluka ye. Kasi tango Davidi ayokaki sango ya mabongisi na bango, akendeki na ndako oyo batonga makasi.
18 And when the Philistines came, they went in every direction in the valley of Rephaim.
Bato ya Filisitia bakomaki mpe bapanzanaki na lubwaku ya Refayimi.
19 And David, desiring directions from the Lord, said, Am I to go up against the Philistines? will you give them up into my hands? And the Lord said, Go up, for I will certainly give up the Philistines into your hands.
Davidi atunaki Yawe: — Nakoki solo kokende kobundisa bato ya Filisitia? Okokaba bango solo na maboko na ngai? Yawe azongiselaki ye: — Kende, pamba te nakokaba bato ya Filisitia na maboko na yo.
20 And David went to Baal-perazim, and overcame them there; and he said, The Lord has let the forces fighting against me be broken before me as a wall is broken by rushing waters. So that place was named Baal-perazim.
Davidi akomaki na Bali-Peratsimi mpe alongaki kuna bato ya Filisitia. Alobaki: « Yawe afungoleli ngai nzela kati na banguna na ngai, ndenge mayi epasolaka nzela. » Yango wana babengaki esika yango Bala-Peratsimi.
21 And the Philistines, when they went in flight, did not take their images with them, and David and his men took them away.
Bato ya Filisitia basundolaki kuna banzambe na bango ya bikeko, mpe Davidi elongo na basoda na ye bamemaki yango.
22 And the Philistines came up again, and went in every direction in the valley of Rephaim.
Bato ya Filisitia bayaki lisusu mpe bapanzanaki kati na lubwaku ya Refayimi.
23 And when David went for directions to the Lord, he said, You are not to go up against them in front; but make a circle round them from the back and come on them opposite the spice-trees.
Bongo Davidi atunaki Yawe, mpe Yawe azongiselaki ye: « Kobundisa bango na liboso te, kasi baluka na sima na bango; bongo okobimela bango na liboso ya banzete ya mirie.
24 Then at the sound of footsteps in the tops of the trees, go forward quickly, for the Lord has gone out before you to overcome the army of the Philistines.
Tango okoyoka lokito ya makolo ya bato na likolo ya banzete ya Mirie, na tango wana nde okobima noki, pamba te ekolakisa ete Yawe abimi liboso na yo mpo na kobeta mampinga ya bato ya Filisitia. »
25 And David did as the Lord had said; and he overcame the Philistines, attacking them from Gibeon to near Gezer.
Davidi asalaki ndenge Yawe atindaki ye mpe abomaki bato ya Filisitia, longwa na Geba kino na Gezeri.
