Kings I 19
1 And Saul spoke to Jonathan his son, and to all his servants, to slay David.
Saulo ayebisaki mabongisi na ye ya koboma Davidi epai ya mwana na ye, Jonatan, mpe epai ya basali na ye nyonso. Nzokande Jonatan, mwana mobali ya Saulo, azalaki kolinga Davidi makasi.
2 And Jonathan, Saul's son, loved David much: and Jonathan told David, saying, Saul seeks to kill thee: take heed to thyself therefore to-morrow morning, and hide thyself, and dwell in secret.
Jonatan ayebisaki Davidi: « Tata na ngai, Saulo, azali koluka libaku ya koboma yo. Nabondeli yo, lobi na tongo, zala penza na ekenge! Kende na yo komibomba mpe vanda kuna.
3 And I will go forth, and stand near my father in the field where thou shalt be, and I will speak concerning thee to my father; and I will see what his answer may be, and I will tell thee.
Ngai nakobima mpe nakozala elongo na tata na ngai kati na zamba epai wapi yo okozala. Nakoloba na tina na yo epai ya tata na ngai, nakoluka koyeba makambo ndenge ezali mpe nakoyebisa yo. »
4 And Jonathan spoke favorably concerning David to Saul his father, and said to him, Let not the king sin against thy servant David, for he has not sinned against thee, and his deeds [are] very good.
Jonatan alobaki malamu na tina na Davidi epai ya tata na ye, Saulo: « Tika ete mokonzi asala mabe te na mosali na ye, Davidi, pamba te asali yo mabe te. Yo nde kutu moto ozwi lisungi monene na makambo oyo ye asali.
5 And he put his life in his hand, and smote the Philistine, and the Lord wrought a great deliverance; and all Israel saw, and rejoined: why then dost thou sin against innocent blood, to slay David without a cause?
Andimaki kobungisa bomoi na ye tango abomaki moto ya Filisitia, mpe, na mokolo yango, Yawe azwaki elonga monene mpo na Isalaele mobimba. Omonaki yango mpe osepelaki na yango makasi. Sik’oyo, mpo na nini olingi na yo kosala lisumu na tina moko te, na koboma moto lokola Davidi oyo asali na ye likambo te? »
6 And Saul hearkened to the voice of Jonathan; and Saul swore, saying, [As] the Lord lives, he shall not die.
Saulo ayokaki Jonatan mpe alapaki ndayi boye: « Na Kombo na Yawe, bakoboma Davidi te. »
7 And Jonathan called David, and told him all these words; and Jonathan brought David in to Saul, and he was before him as in former times.
Bongo Jonatan abengaki Davidi mpe ayebisaki ye makambo nyonso oyo basololaki na tata na ye. Jonatan amemaki Davidi epai ya Saulo, mpe Davidi asalelaki Saulo lokola na ebandeli.
8 And there was again war against Saul; and David did valiantly, and fought against the Philistines, and smote them with a very great slaughter, and they fled from before him.
Lokola bitumba ezongelaki, Davidi abimaki mpo na kobundisa bato ya Filisitia mpe alongaki bango na elonga monene, mpe bato ya Filisitia bakimaki liboso na ye.
9 And an evil spirit from God was upon Saul, and he was resting in his house, and a spear [was] in his hand, and David was playing on the harp with his hands.
Kasi molimo moko ya mabe kowuta na Yawe ekitelaki Saulo, wana avandaki kati na ndako na ye mpe asimbaki likonga na loboko na ye. Lokola Davidi azalaki kobeta lindanda,
10 And Saul sought to smite David with the spear; and David withdrew [suddenly] from the presence of Saul; and he drove the spear into the wall; and David retreated and escaped.
Saulo alukaki koboma ye na nzela ya likonga na ye. Kasi Davidi akimaki ye, mpe likonga ekotaki na mir. Na butu wana, Davidi alongaki kokima mpe abikaki.
11 And it came to pass in that night, that Saul sent messengers to the house of David to watch him, in order to slay him in the morning; and Melchol David's wife told him, saying, Unless thou save thy life this night, to-morrow thou shalt be slain.
Saulo atindaki mibali kozonga na ndako ya Davidi mpo na kokengela ye mpe koboma ye na tongo. Kasi mwasi na ye, Mikali, ayebisaki ye: « Soki okimi te na pokwa ya lelo mpo na kobatela bomoi na yo, bakoboma yo lobi! »
12 So Melchol lets David down by the window, and he departed, and fled, and escaped.
Boye Mikali akitisaki Davidi na nzela ya lininisa, mpe Davidi akimaki mpe abikaki.
13 And Melchol took images, and laid them on the bed, and she put the liver of a goat by his head, and covered them with clothes.
Bongo Mikali azwaki nzambe ya ekeko oyo ezalaki na lolenge ya moto; alalisaki yango na mbeto, afinikaki yango elamba mpe atiaki yango bapwale ya bantaba na moto.
14 And Saul sent messengers to take David; and they say that he is sick.
Tango Saulo atindaki bato kokanga Davidi, Mikali alobaki: « Azali kobela. »
15 And he sends to David, saying, Bring him to me on the bed, that I may slay him.
Saulo azongisaki bato mpo ete batala Davidi mpe alobaki na bango: « Bomemela ngai ye na mbeto na ye mpo ete naboma ye. »
16 And the messengers come, and, behold, the images [were] on the bed, and the goat's liver at his head.
Kasi tango mibali bakotaki, bamonaki, na likolo ya mbeto, nzambe ya ekeko oyo ezalaki lokola moto mpe ezalaki na bapwale ya bantaba na moto na yango.
17 And Saul said to Melchol, Why hast thou thus deceived me, and suffered my enemy to depart, and he has escaped? and Melchol said to Saul, He said, let me go, and if not, I will slay thee.
Saulo alobaki na Mikali: — Mpo na nini oyokisi ngai soni mpe okimisi monguna na ngai, mpe sik’oyo abiki? Mikali alobaki na Saulo: — Davidi alobaki na ngai: « Tika ngai nakima, noki te nakoboma yo. »
18 So David fled, and escaped, and comes to Samuel to Armathaim, and tells him all that Saul had done to him: and Samuel and David went, and dwelt in Navath in Rama.
Tango Davidi akimaki mpe amibikisaki, akendeki epai ya Samuele, na Rama, mpe ayebisaki ye makambo nyonso oyo Saulo asalaki ye. Bongo ye mpe Samuele bakendeki kovanda na Nayoti, pene ya Rama.
19 And it was told Saul, saying, Behold, David [is] in Navath in Rama.
Sango ekomaki epai ya Saulo: « Davidi azali na Nayoti ya Rama. »
20 And Saul sent messengers to take David, and they saw the assembly of the prophets, and Samuel stood [as] appointed over them; and the Spirit of God came upon the messengers of Saul, and they prophesy.
Saulo atindaki bato kokende kokanga Davidi. Kasi tango bamonaki lisanga ya basakoli kosakola mpe Samuele atelemi wana lokola mokambi na bango, Molimo na Nzambe akitelaki bato oyo Saulo atindaki, mpe bakomaki bango mpe kosakola.
21 And it was told Saul, and he sent other messengers, and they also prophesied: and Saul sent again a third set of messengers, and they also prophesied.
Sango ekomaki epai ya Saulo, mpe ye atindaki bato mosusu; kasi bango mpe basakolaki. Saulo atindaki bato mosusu na mbala ya misato, kasi bango mpe basakolaki.
22 And Saul was very angry, and went himself also to Armathaim, and he comes as far as the well of the threshing floor that is in Sephi; and he asked and said, Where [are] Samuel and David? And they said, Behold, in Navath in Rama.
Sima, ye moko Saulo akendeki na Rama mpe akomaki na libulu monene ya mayi, na Seku. Atunaki: — Samuele mpe Davidi bazali wapi? Bazongiselaki ye: — Bazali na Nayoti ya Rama.
23 And he went thence to Navath in Rama: and there came the Spirit of God upon him also, and he went on prophesying till he came to Navath in Rama.
Boye Saulo akendeki na Nayoti ya Rama. Kasi ye mpe, wana azalaki kokoba nzela na ye, Molimo na Nzambe akitelaki ye, mpe akomaki kosakola kino akomaki na Nayoti ya Rama.
24 And he took off his clothes, and prophesied before them; and lay down naked all that day and all that night: therefore they said, [Is] Saul also among the prophets?
Ye mpe alongolaki bilamba na ye mpe asakolaki liboso ya Samuele; akweyaki mpe atikalaki bolumbu mokolo yango mobimba mpe butu mobimba. Yango wana bato batunaka: « Boni, Saulo mpe azali moko kati na basakoli? »
