1 Chronicles 19
1 Now it happened that Nahash, the king of the sons of Ammon, died, and his son reigned in his place.
Sima na mwa tango, Naashi, mokonzi ya bato ya Amoni, akufaki, mpe mwana na ye ya mobali akitanaki na ye na bokonzi.
2 And David said: “I will act with mercy toward Hanun, the son of Nahash. For his father was gracious to me.” And so David sent messengers to console him over the death of his father. But when they had reached the land of the sons of Ammon, so that they might console Hanun,
Davidi amilobelaki: « Nakotalisa bolamu epai ya Anuni, mwana mobali ya Naashi, pamba te tata na ye atalisaki ngai bolamu. » Boye Davidi atindaki bato epai ya Anuni mpo na kobondisa ye na tina na kufa ya tata na ye. Tango basali ya Davidi bakomaki epai ya Anuni, na mokili ya bato ya Amoni, mpo na kobondisa ye,
3 the leaders of the sons of Ammon said to Hanun: “Do you think that perhaps David has sent them to console you in order to honor your father? Have you not noticed that his servants came to you so that they might explore, and investigate, and examine your land?”
bakambi ya bato ya Amoni balobaki na Anuni: « Okanisi ete ezali mpo na kopesa tata na yo lokumu nde Davidi atindi bato mpo na kobondisa yo? Bato wana bayei epai na yo mpo na kotala mpe kononga mokili mpo ete babebisa yango. »
4 And so Hanun shaved the heads and beards of the servants of David, and he cut away their tunics from the buttocks to the feet, and he sent them away.
Boye, Anuni akangaki basali ya Davidi, akataki bango mandefu, akataki bango bilamba kino na likolo ya mipende mpe abenganaki bango.
5 And when they had gone, and had sent word to David, (for they had suffered a great disgrace, ) he sent to meet them, and he instructed them that they should remain at Jericho until their beards grew, and then they should return.
Tango bayebisaki Davidi makambo oyo ekweyelaki bato wana, atindaki bato mosusu mpo na kokende kokutana na bango, pamba te basambwisaki bango makasi. Mokonzi atindelaki bango maloba oyo: « Bovanda na Jeriko kino mandefu na bino ekobota, sima nde bokozonga. »
6 Then, when the sons of Ammon realized that they had committed an injury against David, both Hanun and the rest of the people sent one thousand talents of silver, so that they might hire for themselves chariots and horsemen from Mesopotamia, and from Syrian Maacah, and from Zobah.
Tango bato ya Amoni bamonaki ete bamilukeli makambo epai ya Davidi, Anuni mpe bato ya Amoni batindaki bakilo ya palata nkoto tuku misato epai ya bato ya Siri ya Mezopotami, ya Maaka mpe ya Tsoba, mpo na kodefa bashar mpe basoda oyo babundaka bitumba likolo ya bampunda.
7 And they hired thirty-two thousand chariots, and the king of Maacah with his people. When these had arrived, they made camp in the region opposite Medeba. Also, the sons of Ammon, gathering from their cities, went to war.
Badefaki bashar, basoda nkoto tuku misato na mibale oyo babundaka likolo ya bampunda, mpe mokonzi ya Maaka elongo na mampinga na ye. Bongo, bayaki kotonga molako na bango pembeni ya Medeba. Kaka na tango yango, bato ya Amoni basanganaki na engumba na bango mpe babimaki mpo na kobunda.
8 And when David had heard this, he sent Joab and the entire army of strong men.
Tango kaka Davidi ayokaki bongo, atindaki Joabi elongo na mampinga nyonso ya basoda ya mpiko.
9 And the sons of Ammon, going out, set up a battle line before the gate of the city. But the kings who had come to their aid stood separately in the field.
Bato ya Amoni babimaki mpe batandamaki na milongo mpo na bitumba, na ekuke ya engumba na bango; kasi bakonzi oyo bayaki bazalaki na esika mosusu, kati na zamba.
10 And so Joab, understanding the war to be set facing him and behind his back, chose the strongest men from all of Israel, and he went out against the Syrians.
Tango Joabi amonaki ete milongo ya bitumba ezali na liboso mpe na sima na ye, aponaki basoda ya Isalaele, oyo baleki na mpiko mpe atiaki bango na milongo mpo na kobundisa bato ya Siri.
11 But the remaining portion of the people he placed under the hand of his brother Abishai. And they went out against the sons of Ammon.
Atiaki basoda oyo batikalaki na se ya bokonzi ya ndeko na ye ya mobali, Abishayi; mpe atandaki bango na milongo ya bitumba mpo na kobundisa bato ya Amoni.
12 And he said: “If the Syrians prevail over me, then you shall be a help to me. But if the sons of Ammon prevail over you, I will be a safeguard for you.
Joabi alobaki: « Soki bato ya Siri baleki ngai na makasi, yo okoya kosunga ngai; kasi soki bato ya Amoni baleki yo na makasi, wana ngai nakosunga yo.
13 Be strengthened, and let us act manfully on behalf of our people, and on behalf of the cities of our God. And the Lord will do what is good in his own sight.”
Yika mpiko, mpe tobunda lokola bilombe mpo na bato na biso mpe mpo na bingumba ya Nzambe na biso. Tika ete Yawe asala oyo ezali malamu na miso na Ye. »
14 Therefore, Joab, and the people who were with him, went out to battle against the Syrians. And he put them to flight.
Boye, Joabi mpe basoda oyo bazalaki elongo na ye bapusanaki mpo na kobundisa bato ya Siri; mpe bato yango ya Siri bakimaki liboso na ye.
15 Then the sons of Ammon, seeing that the Syrians had fled, also themselves fled from Abishai, his brother, and they entered into the city. And now Joab returned to Jerusalem.
Tango bato ya Amoni bamonaki bato ya Siri kokima, bango mpe bakimaki liboso ya Abishayi, ndeko mobali ya Joabi, mpe bazongaki na engumba. Bongo, Joabi azongaki na Yelusalemi.
16 But the Syrians, seeing that they had fallen before Israel, sent messengers, and they brought the Syrians who were across the river. And Shophach, the leader of the military of Hadadezer, was their commander.
Tango bato ya Siri bamonaki ete Isalaele alongi bango, batindaki bantoma kobenga bato mosusu ya Siri oyo bazalaki na ngambo mosusu ya ebale Efrate. Tsofaki, mokonzi ya mampinga ya Adadezeri, azalaki liboso na bango.
17 When this had been reported to David, he gathered together all of Israel, and he crossed the Jordan. And he rushed toward them. And he set up a battle line facing them. And they fought against him.
Tango Davidi azwaki sango yango, asangisaki bato nyonso ya Isalaele mpe akatisaki Yordani; apusanaki mpe asalaki molongo ya bitumba liboso na bango ya bato ya Siri, mpe bato ya Siri babundisaki ye.
18 But the Syrians fled from Israel. And David killed of the Syrians seven thousand chariots, and forty thousand men on foot, and Shophach, the leader of the army.
Kasi bato ya Siri bakimaki liboso ya Isalaele, mpe Davidi abomaki basoda na bango, nkoto sambo oyo babundaka bitumba likolo ya bampunda mpe basoda nkoto tuku minei oyo babundaka bitumba na makolo. Davidi abomaki lisusu Tsofaki, mokonzi na bango ya mampinga.
19 Then the servants of Hadadezer, seeing themselves to be overwhelmed by Israel, crossed over to David, and they served him. And Syria was no longer willing to offer aid to the sons of Ammon.
Tango bawumbu ya Adadezeri bamonaki ete Isalaele alongi bango, basalaki kimia elongo na Davidi mpe bakomaki na se ya bokonzi na ye. Boye bato ya Siri balingaki lisusu te kosunga bato ya Amoni.
