Kings II 14
1 And Joab the son of Saruia knew that the heart of the king was towards Abessalom.
Joabi, mwana mobali ya Tseruya, asosolaki ete motema ya mokonzi ekomi na posa ya Abisalomi.
2 And Joab sent to Thecoe, and took thence a cunning woman, and said to her, Mourn, I pray you, and put on mourning apparel, and anoint you not with oil, and you shall be as a woman mourning for one that is dead thus for many days.
Boye, Joabi atindaki moto moko na mboka Tekoa, mpo na koluka mwasi moko ya bwanya mpe komema ye longwa kuna. Alobaki na ye: « Sala lokola moto oyo azali na matanga, lata bilamba ya matanga, kopakola mafuta te: sala lokola mwasi oyo alata pili wuta mikolo ebele mpo na kolela ebembe;
3 And you shall go to the king, and speak to him according to this word. And Joab put the words in her mouth.
mpe kende epai ya mokonzi, yebisa ye maloba oyo. » Joabi ayebisaki maloba oyo asengelaki koloba.
4 So the woman of Thecoe went in to the king and fell upon her face to the earth, and did him obeisance, and said, Help, O king, help.
Tango mwasi ya mboka Tekoa akomaki epai ya mokonzi, agumbamaki elongi na ye kino na mabele mpe alobaki: — Oh mokonzi, sunga ngai!
5 And the king said to her, What is the matter with you? And she said, I am indeed a widow woman, and my husband is dead.
Mokonzi atunaki ye: — Eloko nini ezali kotungisa yo? Azongisaki: — Nazali mwasi akufisa mobali; mobali na ngai akufaki.
6 And moreover your handmaid had two sons, and they fought together in the field, and there was no one to part them; and the one struck the other his brother, and killed him.
Ngai, mwasi mosali na yo, nazalaki na bana mibali mibale. Bango mibale baswanaki kati na bilanga, mpe moto moko te azalaki kuna mpo na kokabola bango. Moko abetaki mosusu mpe abomaki ye.
7 And behold the whole family rose up against your handmaid, and they said, Give up the one that struck his brother, and we will put him to death for the life of his brother, whom he killed, and we will take away even your heir: so they will quench my coal that is left, so as not to leave my husband remnant or name on the face of the earth.
Sik’oyo, libota mobimba etelemeli mwasi mosali na yo, bazali koloba: « Kaba na maboko na biso ye oyo abetaki ndeko na ye ya mobali mpo ete toboma ye mpo na bomoi ya ndeko na ye ya mobali oyo ye abomaki. Na nzela wana, tokolongola mokitani ya libula. » Na bongo, bakoki koboma mwa likala ya moto oyo natikali na yango mpe kozangisa mobali na ngai kombo mpe bakitani kati na mokili.
8 And the king said to the woman, Go in peace to your house, and I will give commandment concerning you.
Mokonzi alobaki na mwasi: — Zonga na ndako na yo, nakopesa mitindo na tina na yo.
9 And the woman of Thecoe said to the king, On me, my lord, O king, and on my father's house [be] the iniquity, and the king and his throne [be] guiltless.
Kasi mwasi ya mboka Tekoa alobaki na mokonzi: — Oh mokonzi, nkolo na ngai, tika ete ngambo ekweya na moto na ngai mpe na libota ya tata na ngai; kasi tika ete mokonzi mpe kiti na ye ya bokonzi bazala mosika ya likambo oyo.
10 And the king said, Who was it that spoke to you? you shall even bring him to me, and [one] shall not touch him any more.
Mokonzi alobaki na ye: — Soki moto moko ameki kotombokela yo, yaka na ye epai na ngai, mpe akozongela lisusu te kotungisa yo.
11 And she said, Let now the king remember concerning his Lord God in that the avenger of blood is multiplied to destroy, and let them not take away my son. And he said, [As] the lord lives, not a hair of your son shall fall to the ground.
Mwasi alobaki: — Tika ete mokonzi alapa ndayi na Kombo na Yawe, Nzambe na ye, ete akopekisa mobukanisi makila mpo ete akoba te kobebisa na koboma mwana na ngai ya mobali, oyo atikali. Mokonzi alobaki: — Na Kombo na Yawe, suki ata moko te ya moto ya mwana na yo ya mobali ekokweya na mabele.
12 And the woman said, Let now your servant speak a word to my lord the king. And he said, Say on.
Mwasi yango alobaki: — Tika ete mwasi mosali na yo aloba likambo moko epai ya mokonzi, nkolo na ngai. Mokonzi azongisaki: — Loba!
13 And the woman said, Why have you devised this thing against the people of God? or [is] this word out of the king's mouth as a transgression, so that the king should not bring back his banished?
Mwasi alobaki: — Mpo na nini osali mabongisi ya boye mpo na kotelemela bato ya Nzambe? Wana mokonzi abimisi maloba oyo, ye moko azali komikweyisa te mpo ete azongisi te mwana mobali oyo akimaki na mboka ya bapaya?
14 For we shall surely die, and be as water poured upon the earth, which shall not be gathered up, and God shall take the life, even as he devises to thrust forth from him his outcast.
Solo, ndenge bakokaka te kolokota mayi oyo esili kosopana, ndenge mpe biso tosengeli kokufa. Kasi sik’oyo, ezali te mokano ya Nzambe mpo na Abisalomi, pamba te asalaki mabongisi mpo ete moto oyo abungi nzela awumela te mosika na Ye.
15 And now whereas I came to speak this word to my lord the king, [the reason is] that the people will see me, and your handmaid will say, Let one now speak to my lord the king, if perhaps the king will perform the request of his handmaid;
Mpe sik’oyo, soki nayei kobimisa maloba oyo epai ya mokonzi, nkolo na ngai, ezali mpo ete bato babangisaki ngai. Yango wana mwasi mosali na yo amilobelaki: « Tika ete naloba na mokonzi, nkolo na ngai. Tango mosusu, akosala kolanda makambo oyo mwasi mosali na ye akosenga.
16 for the king will hear. Let him rescue his handmaid out of the hand of the man that seeks to cast out me and my son from the inheritance of God.
Tango mosusu, mokonzi akondima kokangola mwasi mosali na ye wuta na loboko ya mobali oyo azali koluka kobwaka ngai mpe mwana na ngai ya mobali mosika ya libula oyo Nzambe apesaki biso. »
17 And the woman said, If now the word of my lord the king be gracious, —[well]: for as an angel of God, so [is] my lord the king, to hear good and evil: and the Lord your God shall be with you.
Mpe sik’oyo, tala makambo oyo mwasi mosali na yo azali koloba: « Tika ete liloba ya mokonzi, nkolo na ngai, epesa ngai bopemi, pamba te mokonzi, nkolo na ngai, azali lokola Anjelu na Nzambe oyo ayebaka kososola mabe mpe malamu. Tika ete Yawe, Nzambe na yo, azala elongo na yo! »
18 And the king answered, and said to the woman, Hide not from me, I pray you, the matter which I ask you. And the woman said, Let my lord the king by all means speak.
Mokonzi alobaki na mwasi: — Kobombela ngai te eyano ya likambo oyo nalingi kotuna yo. Mwasi azongisaki: — Tika ete mokonzi, nkolo na ngai, aloba!
19 And the king said, [Is] not the hand of Joab in all this matter with you? and the woman said to the king, [As] your soul lives, my lord, O king, there is no turning to the right hand or to the left from all that my lord the king has spoken; for your servant Joab himself charged me, and he put all these words in the mouth of your handmaid.
Mokonzi atunaki: — Boni, loboko ya Joabi ezali elongo na yo te na makambo oyo nyonso? Mwasi azongisaki: — Na kombo na yo mokonzi, nkolo na ngai, kati na makambo nyonso oyo mokonzi, nkolo na ngai, awuti koloba, moto moko te akoki kokende, ezala na ngambo ya loboko ya mobali to na ngambo ya loboko ya mwasi. Solo, ezali mosali na yo, Joabi, nde atindaki ngai kosala makambo oyo, mpe ye nde atiaki maloba oyo na monoko na ngai mwasi mosali na yo.
20 In order that this form of speech might come about [it was] that your servant Joab has framed this matter: and my lord is wise as [is] the wisdom of an angel of God, to know all things that are in the earth.
Mosali na yo, Joabi, asalaki boye mpo na kobongola mpe kokomisa makambo oyo ndenge mosusu. Kasi nkolo na ngai azali na bwanya lokola Anjelu na Nzambe, ayebi makambo nyonso oyo ezali koleka kati na mokili.
21 And the king said to Joab, Behold now, I have done to you according to this your word: go, bring back the young man Abessalom.
Mokonzi alobaki na Joabi: — Malamu! Nakosala yango. Kende, zongisa elenge mobali Abisalomi.
22 And Joab fell on his face to the ground, and did obeisance, and blessed the king: and Joab said, To-day your servant knows that I have found grace in your sight, my lord, O king, for my lord the king has performed the request of his servant.
Bongo Joabi agumbamaki elongi kino na mabele mpo na kopesa mokonzi lokumu mpe apambolaki ye. Joabi alobaki: — Lelo, mosali na yo asosoli ete azwi ngolu na miso na yo mokonzi, nkolo na ngai, pamba te mokonzi andimi kosala makambo oyo mosali na ye asengi.
23 And Joab arose, and went to Gedsur, and brought Abessalom to Jerusalem.
Bongo Joabi akendeki na Geshuri mpe azongisaki Abisalomi, na Yelusalemi.
24 And the king said, Let him return to his house, and not see my face. And Abessalom returned to his house, and saw not the king's face.
Kasi mokonzi alobaki: — Asengeli kokende na ndako na ye; asengeli te komona elongi na ngai. Boye Abisalomi akendeki na ndako na ye, mpe amonaki elongi ya mokonzi te.
25 And there was not a man in Israel so very comely as Abessalom: from the sole of his foot even to the crown of his head there was no blemish in him.
Kati na Isalaele mobimba, ezalaki na moto moko te oyo azalaki kitoko koleka Abisalomi mpe oyo bazalaki kokumisa lokola ye. Azalaki ata na mbeba moko te, banda na moto kino na misapi ya makolo.
26 And when he polled his head, (and it was at the beginning of every year that he polled it, because it grew, heavy upon him, ) even when he polled it, he weighed the hair of his head, two hundred shekels according to the royal shekel.
Na suka ya mibu nyonso, azalaki kokata suki ya moto na ye, mpo ete ezalaki kokoma kilo makasi. Boye tango bazalaki kotia yango na bimekelo, ezalaki na bakilo mibale na bagrame nkama mitano, kolanda ndenge bamekaka kilo kati na ndako ya mokonzi.
27 And there were born to Abessalom three sons and one daughter, and her name was Themar: she was a very beautiful woman, and she becomes the wife of Roboam son of Solomon, and she bears to him Abia.
Abisalomi azalaki na bana mibali misato mpe mwana moko ya mwasi. Kombo ya mwana na ye ya mwasi ezalaki Tamari, mpe azalaki mwasi moko ya kitoko makasi.
28 And Abessalom remained in Jerusalem two full years, and he saw not the king's face.
Abisalomi avandaki na Yelusalemi mibu mibale mpe atikalaki komona te elongi ya mokonzi.
29 And Abessalom sent to Joab to bring him in to the king, and he would not come to him: and he sent to him the second time, and he would not come.
Bongo Abisalomi abengisaki Joabi mpo ete atinda ye epai ya mokonzi, kasi Joabi aboyaki kokende epai na ye. Abengisaki lisusu Joabi na mbala ya mibale, kasi Joabi aboyaki kaka kokende.
30 And Abessalom said to his servants, Behold, Joab's portion in the field [is] next to mine, and he has in it barley; go and set it on fire. And the servants of Abessalom set the field on fire: and the servants of Joab come to him with their clothes tore, and they said to him, The servants of Abessalom have set the field on fire.
Abisalomi alobaki na basali na ye: « Botala! Elanga ya Joabi ezali pembeni ya elanga na ngai, ezali na bambuma ya orje. Bokende kotia yango moto. » Basali ya Abisalomi batiaki yango moto.
31 And Joab arose, and came to Abessalom into the house, and said to him, Why have your servants set my field on fire?
Joabi akendeki na ndako ya Abisalomi mpe alobaki na ye: — Mpo na nini otie moto na elanga na ngai?
32 And Abessalom said to Joab, Behold, I sent to you, saying, Come hither, and I will send you to the king, saying, Why did I come out of Gedsur? it would have been better for me to have remained there: and now, behold, I have not seen the face of the king; but if there is iniquity in me, then put me to death.
Abisalomi azongiselaki Joabi: — Tala, natindelaki yo maloba; nalobaki: « Yaka awa mpo ete natinda yo epai ya mokonzi mpo na kotuna ye: ‹ Mpo na nini nalongwaki na Geshuri? Elingaki kozala malamu mpo na ngai soki natikalaki na ngai kuna. Sik’oyo, nalingi komona elongi ya mokonzi; mpe soki namemaki ngambo na likambo moko, tika ete baboma ngai! › »
33 And Joab went in to the king, and brought him word: and he called Abessalom, and he went in to the king, and did him obeisance, and fell upon his face to the ground, even in the presence of the king; and the king kissed Abessalom.
Boye Joabi akendeki epai ya mokonzi mpe ayebisaki ye makambo nyonso. Mokonzi abengisaki Abisalomi, mpe Abisalomi akendeki liboso ya mokonzi, agumbamaki elongi kino na mabele, mpe mokonzi ayambaki ye.
