Kings I 20
1 And David fled from Navath in Rama, and comes into the presence of Jonathan; and he said, What have I done, and what [is] my fault, and wherein have I sinned before your father, that he seeks my life?
Davidi akimaki wuta na Nayoti ya Rama mpe akendeki epai ya Jonatan. Atunaki ye: — Nasali nini? Mabe nini nasali? Lisumu nini nasali liboso ya tata na yo mpo ete aluka koboma ngai?
2 And Jonathan said to him, Far be it from you: you shall not die: behold, my father will not do any thing great or small without discovering it to me; and why should my father hide this matter from me? This thing is not [so].
Jonatan azongisaki: — Te, Ekosalema te! Okokufa te! Tala, tata na ngai asalaka eloko moko te, ezala ya moke to ya monene, soki ayebisi ngai te. Mpo na nini tata na ngai abombela ngai kaka likambo oyo? Ezali bongo te.
3 And David answered Jonathan, and said, Your father knows surely that I have found grace in your sight, and he said, Let not Jonathan know this, lest he refuse his consent: but [as] the Lord lives and your soul lives, as I said, [the space] is filled up between me and death.
Kasi Davidi alapaki ndayi na koloba: « Tata na yo ayebi malamu ete nazwaki ngolu na miso na yo, mpe amilobelaki: ‹ Tika ete Jonatan ayeba makambo oyo te, noki te akoyoka pasi na motema! › Nzokande, na Kombo na Yawe mpe na kombo na yo moko, etikali kaka moke ete baboma ngai. »
4 And Jonathan said to David, What does your soul desire, and what shall I do for you.
Jonatan alobaki na Davidi: — Nakosala nyonso oyo okolinga ete ngai nasala mpo na yo.
5 And David said to Jonathan, Behold, to-morrow [is] the new moon, and I shall not on any account sit down to eat, but you shall let me go, and I will hide in the plain till the evening.
Davidi azongiselaki Jonatan: — Lobi ekozala mokolo ya feti ya Sanza ya Sika; nasengelaki kovanda mesa moko na mokonzi mpo na kolia. Pesa ngai nzela ete nakende kobombama na bilanga kino na pokwa ya mokolo ya misato.
6 And if your father do in anyway enquire for me, then shall you say, David earnestly asked leave of me to run to Bethleem his city, for [there is] there, a yearly sacrifice for all the family.
Soki tata na yo amitungisi mpo na kozanga na ngai komonana, okoloba na ye: « Davidi atungisaki ngai ete napesa ye nzela ya kokende noki na engumba na ye, Beteleemi, pamba te etuka mobimba ekosepela kuna mbeka oyo babonzaka mibu nyonso. »
7 If he shall say thus, Well, — [all is] safe for your servant: but if he shall answer harshly to you, know that evil is determined by him.
Soki alobi: « Malamu, » wana mosali na yo akozala na kimia. Kasi soki atomboki na kanda, wana yeba malamu ete azwi mokano ya kosala ngai mabe.
8 And you shall deal mercifully with your servant; for you have brought your servant into a covenant of the Lord with yourself: and if there is iniquity in your servant, kill me yourself; but why do you thus bring me to your father?
Boye, salela mosali na yo bolamu, pamba te okotisaki ye na boyokani elongo na yo liboso ya Yawe. Soki nasalaki mabe na likambo songolo, yo moko boma ngai! Mpo na nini kokaba ngai na maboko ya tata na yo?
9 And Jonathan said, That be far from you: for if I surely know that evil is determined by my father to come upon you, although it should not be against your cities, I will tell you.
Jonatan alobaki: — Te! Ekozala penza likambo ya nkele soki ngai nakoki koyeba ete tata na ngai azwi mokano ya kosala yo mabe, bongo nayebisi yo yango te!
10 And David said to Jonathan, Who can tell me if your father should answer roughly?
Davidi atunaki Jonatan: — Bongo soki tata na yo akozongisela yo eyano na kanda, nani akoyebisa ngai?
11 And Jonathan said to David, Go, and abide in the field. And they went out both into the field.
Jonatan azongiselaki Davidi: — Yaka, tokende na zamba! Boye, bango mibale bakendeki nzela moko na zamba.
12 And Jonathan said to David, the Lord God of Israel knows that I will sound my father as I have an opportunity, three several times, and, behold, [if good] should be determined concerning David, and I do not send to you to the field,
Jonatan alobaki na Davidi: « Na Kombo na Yawe, Nzambe ya Isalaele, lobi to sima na lobi, na ngonga oyo, nakoluka koyeba makanisi ya tata na ngai mpo na yo. Soki ezali malamu, bongo natindi moto te mpo na koyebisa yo yango,
13 God do so to Jonathan and more also: as I shall [also] report the evil to you, and make it known to you, and I will let you go; and you shall depart in peace, and the Lord shall be with you, as he was with my father.
wana tika ete Yawe asala na ngai Jonatan nyonso oyo ekozala malamu na miso na Ye! Kasi soki tata na ngai azali na makanisi ya kosala yo mabe, ngai nakoyebisa yo mpe nakotika yo kokende mpo ete okende na yo na kimia. Tika ete Yawe azala elongo na yo ndenge azalaki elongo na tata na ngai!
14 And if indeed I continue to live, then shall you deal mercifully with me; and if I indeed die,
Sima na mikolo, soki nakozala nanu na bomoi, salela ngai bolamu lokola bolamu ya Yawe mpo ete baboma ngai te.
15 you shall not withdraw your mercy from my house for ever: and if you do not, when the Lord cuts off the enemies of David each from the face of the earth,
Mpe kolemba te kosalela libota na ngai bolamu, ata tango Yawe akolongola banguna nyonso ya Davidi, na etando ya mokili. »
16 [should it happen] that the name of Jonathan be discovered by the house of David, then let the Lord seek out the enemies of David.
Boye Jonatan asalaki boyokani elongo na libota ya Davidi na maloba oyo: « Tika ete Yawe azongisa mabe na mabe na banguna ya Davidi! »
17 And Jonathan swore yet again to David, because he loved the soul of him that loved him.
Mpe Jonatan asengaki ete Davidi alapa lisusu ndayi na ye na kombo ya bolingo na ye Davidi epai ya Jonatan, pamba te azalaki kolinga ye ndenge ye moko amilingaka.
18 And Jonathan said, To-morrow [is] the new moon, and you will be enquired for, because your seat will be observed as vacant.
Bongo Jonatan alobaki na Davidi: — Lobi ekozala mokolo ya feti ya Sanza ya Sika; bato bakomitungisa mpo na yo mpo ete okozala te, mpe bakomona ete esika na yo ekozala pamba.
19 And you shall stay three days, and watch an opportunity, and shall come to your place where you may hide yourself in the day of your business, and you shall wait by that stone Ezel.
Sima na lobi, na pokwa, okokende kino na esika epai wapi obombamaki tango likambo oyo ebandaki mpe okovanda pembeni ya libanga Ezeli.
20 And I will shoot three arrows, aiming them at a mark.
Ngai nakobwaka makonga misato na ngambo moko ya libanga yango lokola nde nazali kobwaka na elembo moko.
21 And behold, I [will] send a lad, saying, Go find me the arrow.
Bongo nakotinda elenge mobali moko kokende koluka makonga yango. Soki nalobi na ye: « Tala, makonga ezali pembeni na yo, lokota mpe yaka na yango awa, » wana nalingi koloba: « Na Kombo na Yawe, yaka mpo ete ozali na kimia, likambo ezali te. »
22 If I should expressly say to the lad, The arrow [is] here, and on this side of you, take it; [then] come, for it is well with you, and there is no reason [for fear, as] the Lord lives: [but] if I should say thus to the young man, The arrow [is] on that side of you, and beyond; go, for the Lord has sent you away.
Kasi soki nalobi na elenge mobali: « Tala, makonga ezali mosika na yo; » wana nalingi koloba: « Kima na yo, pamba te Yawe akimisi yo. »
23 And as for the word which you and I have spoken, behold, the Lord [is] witness between me and you for ever.
Bongo mpo na liloba oyo tosololaki ngai na yo, yeba ete Yawe azali Motatoli kati na ngai mpe yo mpo na libela.
24 So David hides himself in the field, and the [new] month arrives, and the king comes to the table to eat.
Davidi abombamaki kati na zamba. Bongo na tango ya feti ya Sanza ya Sika, mokonzi avandaki na mesa mpo na kolia.
25 And he sat upon his seat as in former times, even on his seat by the wall, and he went before Jonathan; and Abenner sat on one side of Saul, and the place of David was empty.
Mokonzi avandaki lokola momesano na esika na ye pembeni ya mir. Jonatan atelemaki, mpe Abineri avandaki pembeni ya Saulo, kasi esika ya Davidi ezalaki polele.
26 And Saul said nothing on that day, for he said, It seems to have fallen out that he is not clean, because he has not purified himself.
Saulo alobaki eloko moko te na mokolo wana, pamba te akanisaki kaka ete eloko moko esalemi epai ya Davidi oyo ekomisi ye mbindo.
27 And it came to pass on the morrow, on the second day of the month, that the place of David was empty; and Saul said to Jonathan his son, Why has not the son of Jessae attended both yesterday and today at the table?
Kasi mokolo oyo elandaki, mokolo ya mibale ya feti ya Sanza ya Sika, lokola esika ya Davidi ezalaki lisusu polele, Saulo alobaki na mwana na ye ya mobali, Jonatan: — Mpo na nini mwana mobali ya Izayi ayei te mpo na kolia, ezala lobi oyo eleki to lelo?
28 And Jonathan answered Saul, and said to him, David asked leave of me to go as far as Bethleem his city;
Jonatan azongiselaki Saulo: — Davidi atungisaki ngai ete napesa ye nzela ya kokende noki na Beteleemi.
29 and he said, Let me go, I pray you, for we have a family sacrifice in the city, and my brethren have sent for me; and now, if I have found grace in your eyes, I will even go over and see my brethren: therefore he is not present at the table of the king.
Alobaki: « Pesa ngai nzela ya kokende mpo ete etuka na ngai esengeli kobonza mbeka kati na engumba, mpe ndeko na ngai ya mobali abengisi ngai mpo ete nazala kuna. Soki nazwi ngolu na miso na yo, tika ngai kokende kotala bandeko na ngai. » Yango wana ayei te na mesa ya mokonzi.
30 And Saul was exceedingly angry with Jonathan, and said to him, You son of traitorous damsels! for do I not know that you are an accomplice with the son of Jessae to your same, and to the shame of your mother's nakedness?
Saulo asilikelaki makasi Jonatan mpe alobaki na ye: — Yo mwana mobali ya mwasi ya yawuli mpe motomboki, nayebi solo ete okoteli mwana mobali ya Izayi; kasi ezali mpo na soni na yo mpe ya mama oyo abota yo.
31 For so long as the son of Jessae lives upon the earth, your kingdom shall not be established: now then send and take the young man, for he shall surely die.
Pamba te tango nyonso mwana mobali ya Izayi akozala na bomoi kati na mokili oyo, ezala yo to bokonzi na yo, bokozala na kimia te. Sik’oyo, lukisa ye mpe memela ngai ye, pamba te asengeli kokufa.
32 And Jonathan answered Saul, Why is he to die? What has he done?
Jonatan atunaki Saulo, tata na ye: — Basengeli koboma ye mpo na nini? Asali nini?
33 And Saul lifted up his spear against Jonathan to kill him: so Jonathan knew that this evil was determined on by his father to kill David.
Saulo abwakelaki Jonatan likonga na ye mpo na koboma ye, mpe Jonatan asosolaki ete tata na ye azali na makanisi ya koboma Davidi.
34 And Jonathan sprang up from the table in great anger, and did not eat bread on the second [day] of the month, for he grieved bitterly for David, because his father determined [on mischief] against him.
Jonatan alongwaki na mesa na kanda makasi mpe atikalaki kolia te na mokolo oyo ya mibale ya feti ya Sanza ya Sika, pamba te ayokaki pasi na motema na ndenge tata na ye afingaki Davidi.
35 And morning came, and Jonathan went out to the field, as he appointed [to do] for a signal to David, and a little boy [was] with him.
Na tongo ya mokolo oyo elandaki, Jonatan akendeki na zamba kokutana na Davidi. Azalaki elongo na elenge mobali moko.
36 And he said to the boy, Run, find me the arrows which I shoot: and the boy ran, and [Jonathan] shot an arrow, and sent it beyond [him].
Alobaki na elenge mobali: « Kima mbangu mpe lokota makonga oyo nazali kobwaka. » Tango elenge mobali azalaki kokima mbangu, Jonatan abwakaki likonga liboso na ye.
37 And the boy came to the place where the arrow was which Jonathan shot; and Jonathan cried out after the lad, and said, The arrow [is] on that side of you and beyond you.
Mpe tango elenge mobali akomaki na esika oyo likonga ya Jonatan ekweyaki, Jonatan alobaki na ye na mongongo makasi: « Boni, likonga ezali liboso na yo te? »
38 And Jonathan cried out after his boy, saying, Make all speed, and stay not. And Jonathan's boy gathered up the arrows, and brought the arrows to his master.
Bongo Jonatan agangaki lisusu: « Sala noki! Kima mbangu, kotelema te! » Elenge mobali alokotaki likonga mpe azongaki epai ya nkolo na ye.
39 And the boy knew nothing, only Jonathan and David [knew].
Elenge mobali ayebaki ata eloko moko te na makambo oyo nyonso; kaka Jonatan mpe Davidi nde bayebaki.
40 And Jonathan gave his weapons to his boy, and said to his boy, Go, enter into the city.
Bongo Jonatan apesaki bibundeli na ye epai ya elenge mobali mpe alobaki: « Kende kozongisa yango na engumba. »
41 And when the lad went in, then David arose from the south, and fell upon his face, and did obeisance to him three times, and they kissed each other, and wept for each other, for a great while.
Sima na elenge mobali kozonga, Davidi abimaki na ngambo ya sude ya libanga mpe agumbamaki mbala misato liboso ya Jonatan, elongi etala na se. Bayambanaki mpe balelaki elongo, kasi Davidi alelaki mingi koleka.
42 And Jonathan said to David, Go in peace, and as we have both sworn in the name of the Lord, saying, The Lord shall be witness between me and you, and between my seed and your seed for ever—[even so let it be]. And David arose and departed, and Jonathan went into the city.
Jonatan alobaki na Davidi: « Kende na kimia, pamba te biso mibale tolapanaki ndayi na Kombo na Yawe na koloba: ‹ Yawe azali Motatoli kati na yo mpe ngai, mpe kati ya bakitani na yo mpe bakitani na ngai mpo na libela. › » Bongo Davidi akendeki, mpe Jonatan azongaki na engumba.
