1 Samuel 14
1 And it happened that, on a certain day, Jonathan, the son of Saul, said to the youth who bore his armor, “Come, and let us go over to the garrison of the Philistines, which is across from that place.” But he did not reveal this to his father.
Mokolo moko, Jonatan, mwana mobali ya Saulo, alobaki na elenge mobali oyo azalaki komema bibundeli na ye: « Yaka! Tokatisa na ngambo mosusu epai wapi bato ya Filisitia bazali. » Kasi alobaki ata likambo moko te epai ya tata na ye.
2 Moreover, Saul was staying in the furthermost part of Gibeah, below the pomegranate tree that was at Migron. And the people with him were about six hundred men.
Saulo avandaki na mondelo ya engumba Gibea, na se ya nzete ya grenade oyo ezali na Migironi, elongo na basoda pene nkama motoba.
3 And Ahijah, the son of Ahitub, the brother of Ichabod, the son of Phinehas, who had been born of Eli, the priest of the Lord at Shiloh, wore the ephod. But the people did not know where Jonathan had gone.
Kati na bango, ezalaki na Nganga-Nzambe moko oyo azalaki kolata efode; kombo na ye ezalaki « Ayiya. » Ayiya azalaki mwana mobali ya Ayitubi, ndeko mobali ya I-Kabodi, mwana mobali ya Fineasi mpe koko ya Eli oyo azalaki Nganga-Nzambe ya Yawe, na Silo. Soda moko te ayebaki ete Jonatan akendeki.
4 Now there were, between the ascents along which Jonathan strove to cross to the garrison of the Philistines, rocks projecting from both sides, and, in the manner of teeth, boulders breaking out from one side and the other. The name of one was Shining, and the name of the other was Thorny.
Na bangambo ya se ya lubwaku oyo Jonatan asengelaki kokatisa mpo na kokende kobundisa bato ya Filisitia, ezalaki na libanga moko na ngambo moko na moko. Babengaki moko Botsetsi, mpe mosusu, Sene.
5 One boulder projected toward the north, opposite Michmash, and the other toward the south, opposite Gibeah.
Libanga moko etelemaki na ngambo ya nor, na nzela oyo ekenda na Mikimasi, mpe mosusu etalanaki na Geba, na sude.
6 Then Jonathan said to the youth who bore his armor: “Come, let us go across to the garrison of these uncircumcised. And perhaps the Lord may act on our behalf. For it is not difficult for the Lord to save, either by many, or by few.”
Jonatan alobaki na elenge mobali oyo azalaki komema bibundeli na ye: — Yaka! Tokende na molako ya bato oyo bakatama ngenga te. Tango mosusu Yawe akosala mpo na biso, pamba te eloko moko te ekoki kopekisa Yawe kobikisa, ezala na nzela ya bato ebele to ya bato moke.
7 And his armor bearer said to him: “Do all that is pleasing to your soul. Go wherever you wish, and I will be with you, wherever you will choose.”
Elenge mobali oyo azalaki komema bibundeli na ye azongisaki: — Sala nyonso oyo ozali na yango na makanisi. Kende! Nazali elongo na yo na motema mpe na molimo.
8 And Jonathan said: “Behold, we will cross over to these men. And when we will be seen by them,
Jonatan alobaki na ye: — Tokende kino na molako ya basoda yango mpe tomimonisa epai na bango.
9 if they have spoken to us in this way, ‘Stay until we come to you,’ let us stand still in our place, and not ascend to them.
Soki balobi na biso: « Botelema wana, bozela kino biso moko tokoya epai na bino; » wana tokovanda na esika oyo tozali mpe tokokende epai na bango te.
10 But if they will say, ‘Ascend to us,’ let us ascend. For the Lord has delivered them into our hands. This will be the sign to us.”
Kasi soki balobi na biso: « Boya epai na biso, » tokokende epai na bango, pamba te yango ekozala elembo mpo na biso ete Yawe akabi bango na maboko na biso.
11 And so, both of them appeared before the garrison of the Philistines. And the Philistines said, “See, the Hebrews have come out from the holes in which they had been hiding.”
Boye, bango mibale bamimonisaki na molako ya bato ya Filisitia. Mpe tango bato ya Filisitia bamonaki bango, balobaki: « Botala! Ba-Ebre babimi wuta na mabulu epai wapi babombamaki. »
12 And the men of the garrison spoke to Jonathan and to his armor bearer, and they said, “Ascend to us, and we will show you something.” And Jonathan said to his armor bearer: “Let us ascend. Follow me. For the Lord has delivered them into the hands of Israel.”
Balobaki na Jonatan mpe na elenge mobali oyo azalaki komema bibundeli na ye: « Boya epai na biso, tokoteya bino likambo moko. » Jonatan alobaki na elenge mobali oyo azalaki komema bibundeli na ye: « Landa ngai na sima, pamba te Yawe asili kokaba bango na maboko ya Isalaele. »
13 Then Jonathan ascended, crawling on his hands and feet, and his armor bearer after him. And then, some fell before Jonathan, others his armor bearer killed as he was following him.
Jonatan asalelaki makolo mpe maboko na ye mpo na komata, mpe elenge mobali oyo azalaki komema bibundeli na ye alandaki ye na sima. Wana Jonatan azalaki kokweyisa bato ya Filisitia na liboso; na sima na ye, elenge mobali oyo azalaki komema bibundeli na ye azalaki koboma bango.
14 And the first slaughter was made when Jonathan and his armor bearer struck down about twenty of the men, in the midst of an area of land that a yoke of oxen would usually plow in a day.
Na etumba oyo ya liboso, Jonatan elongo na elenge mobali oyo azalaki komema bibundeli na ye babomaki bato pene tuku mibale, na etando oyo bangombe mibale ekoki kobalola na mokolo moko.
15 And a miracle occurred in the camp, out in the fields. And all of the people of their garrison, who had gone out in order to plunder, were stupefied. And the earth trembled. And it happened as a miracle from God.
Mpe kobanga makasi ekotaki kati na molako, kati na etando mpe kati na bato nyonso: ezala basoda oyo bazalaki kokengela molako mpe basoda ya mpiko, bango nyonso bakomaki kobanga makasi mpe mabele eninganaki. Ezalaki somo oyo Ye moko Nzambe atindaki.
16 And the watchmen of Saul, who were at Gibeah of Benjamin, looked out, and behold, a multitude was thrown down and dispersed, this way and that.
Bakengeli ya Saulo, oyo bazalaki na Gibea ya Benjame bamonaki mampinga kopalangana na bangambo nyonso.
17 And Saul said to the people who were with him, “Inquire and see who has gone out from us.” And when they had inquired, it was found that Jonathan and his armor bearer were not present.
Bongo Saulo alobaki na basoda oyo bazalaki elongo na ye: « Botanga basoda mpo na koyeba banani basili kokima. » Tango batangaki, bamonaki ete Jonatan mpe elenge mobali oyo azalaki komema bibundeli na ye bazali te.
18 And Saul said to Ahijah, “Bring the ark of the God.” (For the ark of God was, in that day, with the sons of Israel in that place.)
Saulo alobaki na Ayiya: « Boya na Sanduku ya Nzambe. » Pamba te na tango wana, Sanduku ya Nzambe ezalaki elongo na bato ya Isalaele.
19 And while Saul spoke to the priest, there arose a great tumult in the camp of the Philistines. And it was increasing, little by little, and it was being heard more clearly. And Saul said to the priest, “Withdraw your hand.”
Wana Saulo azalaki nanu kosolola na Nganga-Nzambe, mobulu ezalaki kaka kokoma makasi kati na molako ya bato ya Filisitia. Boye Saulo alobaki na Nganga-Nzambe: « Tika! Kotuna Yawe ezali lisusu na tina te. »
20 Then Saul, and all the people who were with him, cried out together, and they went to the place of the conflict. And behold, each one’s sword had been turned against his neighbor, and there was a very great slaughter.
Bongo Saulo elongo na bato na ye nyonso basanganaki mpe bakendeki na bitumba; bamonaki ete bato ya Filisitia bazali na mobulu makasi, bazali kobomana bango na bango na mipanga.
21 Moreover, the Hebrews who had been with the Philistines yesterday and the day before, and who had ascended with them into the camp, turned back so that they might be with those of Israel who were with Saul and Jonathan.
Ba-Ebre oyo basalelaki liboso bato ya Filisitia mpe bakendeki elongo na bango na bitumba mosusu, bango basanganaki na bato ya Isalaele, oyo bazalaki elongo na Saulo mpe Jonatan.
22 Likewise, all the Israelites who had hidden themselves on mount Ephraim, hearing that the Philistines had fled, joined themselves with their own in the battle. And there were with Saul about ten thousand men.
Tango bato nyonso ya Isalaele oyo babombamaki kati na etuka ya bangomba ya Efrayimi bayokaki ete bato ya Filisitia bazali kokima, bango mpe balandaki mpe babundisaki bato ya Filisitia.
23 And the Lord saved Israel on that day. But the fight continued as far as Bethaven.
Ezalaki ndenge wana nde Yawe abikisaki na mokolo wana bato ya Isalaele, mpe bitumba ekobaki kino ekatisaki Beti-Aveni.
24 And the men of Israel were joined together on that day. And Saul made the people swear, saying, “Cursed be the man who will eat bread, until evening, until I am avenged of my enemies.” And the entire people did not consume bread.
Bato ya Isalaele bazalaki na pasi makasi mokolo wana, pamba te Saulo atiaki bato na se ya mokumba ya ndayi esangana na bilakeli mabe. Alobaki: « Alakelama mabe, moto nyonso oyo akolia bilei liboso ete pokwa ekoma, liboso ete ngai nazongisa mabe na mabe na banguna na ngai. » Boye moto moko te amekaki kolia.
25 And all the common people went into a forest, in which there was honey on the surface of the field.
Bato nyonso bakotaki na zamba mpe bamonaki mafuta ya nzoyi, na mabele.
26 And so the people entered the forest, and there appeared flowing honey, but no one drew his hand near his mouth. For the people were afraid of the oath.
Tango bakotaki na zamba, bamonaki mafuta ya nzoyi kotanga, mpe moko te asimbaki mpe aliaki yango mpo na kotosa ndayi.
27 But Jonathan had not heard that his father had bound the people to an oath. And so he extended the top of the staff that he was holding in his hand, and he dipped it in a honeycomb. And he turned his hand to his mouth, and his eyes were brightened.
Kasi Jonatan ayokaki te ete tata na ye atiaki bato na se ya mokumba ya ndayi; apusaki nzete oyo azalaki na yango na loboko, azindisaki yango na mafuta ya nzoyi mpe aliaki yango, elongi na ye engengaki.
28 And in response, one of the people said, “Your father has bound the people by an oath, saying: ‘Cursed be the man who will eat any bread this day.’” (For the people were faint.)
Bongo moko kati na basoda alobaki na ye: — Tata na yo atiaki mampinga nyonso na se ya mokumba ya ndayi na koloba: « Alakelama mabe, moto nyonso oyo akolia bilei na mokolo ya lelo. » Yango wana bato nyonso balembi.
29 And Jonathan said: “My father has troubled the land. You have seen for yourselves that my eyes were brightened, because I tasted a little of this honey.
Jonatan alobaki: — Solo, tata na ngai akotisaki pasi kati na mokili. Botala ndenge nini elongi na ngai engengi! Ezali mpo ete nalie mwa ndambo ya mafuta ya nzoyi.
30 How much more so, if the people had eaten from the plunder that they find with their enemies? Would not a greater slaughter have been accomplished among the Philistines?”
Bongo soki bato na biso baliaki na mokolo ya lelo mafuta ya nzoyi oyo bamonaki epai ya banguna na biso, kokweyisama ya bato ya Filisitia elingaki kozala monene!
31 Therefore, on that day, they struck down the Philistines, from Michmash as far as Aijalon. But the people were exceedingly wearied.
Na mokolo wana, sima na bato ya Isalaele kosilisa koboma bato ya Filisitia wuta na Mikimasi kino na Ayaloni, balembaki makasi.
32 And turning to the spoils, they took sheep, and oxen, and calves, and they slew them on the ground. And the people ate with blood.
Bamibwakaki na bomengo ya bitumba mpe bakamataki biloko oyo: bameme, bangombe mpe bana ngombe. Bakataki yango kingo na mabele mpe baliaki yango na likolo ya makila na yango.
33 Then they reported to Saul, saying that the people had sinned against the Lord, eating with blood. And he said: “You have transgressed. Roll a great stone to me, here and now.”
Moto moko alobaki na Saulo: — Tala! Bato bazali kosala masumu liboso ya Yawe na ndenge bazali kolia nyama na likolo ya makila. Saulo alobaki: — Bokweyisi kondima! Botindika sik’oyo libanga moko ya monene kino awa.
34 And Saul said: “Disperse yourselves among the common people, and tell each one of them to bring to me his ox and his ram, and to slay them upon this stone, and to eat, so that you will not sin against the Lord, in eating with blood.” And so, each one, out of all the people, brought his ox, by his own hand, throughout the night. And they slew them there.
Saulo abakisaki: Bokende kati na bato mpe boloba na bango ete moko na moko amemela ngai ngombe na ye mpe meme na ye, mpe akata yango kingo na esika oyo. Bongo bokolia yango mpe bokosala masumu te liboso ya Yawe na kolia nyama na likolo ya makila kati na yango. Boye moko na moko amemaki ngombe na ye na butu mpe akataki yango kingo na esika yango.
35 Then Saul built an altar to the Lord. And so, it was then that he first began to build an altar to the Lord.
Bongo Saulo atongaki etumbelo mpo na Yawe; ezalaki mbala na ye ya liboso ya kosala likambo ya boye.
36 And Saul said: “Let us fall upon the Philistines by night, and lay waste to them even until the morning light. And let us not leave behind a man among them.” And the people said, “Do all that seems good in your eyes.” And the priest said, “Let us draw near to God in this place.”
Saulo alobaki: — Tokita mpe tolanda bato ya Filisitia na butu ya lelo, tobebisa bango kino na tongo mpe totika ata moto moko te ya bomoi kati na bango. Bato bazongisaki: — Sala nyonso oyo omoni ete ezali malamu. Kasi Nganga-Nzambe alobaki: — Totuna Nzambe na esika oyo.
37 And Saul consulted the Lord: “Shall I pursue the Philistines? Will you deliver them into the hands of Israel?” And he did not respond to him on that day.
Boye Saulo atunaki Nzambe: « Nakoki na ngai kokita mpo na kolanda bato ya Filisitia? Okokaba bango solo na maboko ya bato ya Isalaele? » Kasi Nzambe apesaki ye eyano te na mokolo wana.
38 And Saul said: “Bring here every single leader of the people. And we shall know and see by whom this sin was committed this day.
Saulo alobaki: — Bino nyonso oyo bozali bakambi ya bato, boya awa! Toluka koyeba lisumu nini oyo esalemi na mokolo ya lelo.
39 As the Lord lives, who is the Savior of Israel, even if it were done by my son Jonathan, without retraction he shall die.” In this, no one among all the people contradicted him.
Na Kombo na Yawe, Mobikisi ya Isalaele, ata ezali Jonatan, mwana na ngai ya mobali, nde asali lisumu yango, asengeli kokufa. Kasi kati na bato, moko te alobaki ata liloba moko.
40 And he said to all of Israel, “Separate yourselves on one side, and I, with my son Jonathan, will be on the other side.” And the people responded to Saul, “Do what seems good in your eyes.”
Bongo Saulo alobaki na bato nyonso ya Isalaele: — Bozala ngambo moko. Ngai mpe Jonatan, mwana na ngai ya mobali, tokozala ngambo mosusu. Bato bazongisaki: — Sala nyonso oyo omoni ete ezali malamu.
41 And Saul said to the Lord, the God of Israel: “O Lord, God of Israel, grant a sign: Why is it that you will not respond to your servant this day? If this iniquity is in me, or in my son Jonathan, grant an indication. Or if this iniquity is in your people, grant a sanctification.” And Jonathan and Saul were discovered, but the people were released.
Bongo Saulo asambelaki Yawe, Nzambe ya Isalaele: « Oh Nzambe, talisa ngai eyano ya malamu. » Boye zeke ekweyaki epai ya Jonatan mpe Saulo, mpe bato bazalaki na mbeba te.
42 And Saul said, “Cast lots between myself and Jonathan, my son.” And Jonathan was caught.
Saulo alobaki: « Bobeta zeke kati na ngai mpe Jonatan, mwana na ngai ya mobali. » Mpe zeke ekweyaki epai ya Jonatan.
43 Then Saul said to Jonathan, “Tell me what you have done.” And Jonathan revealed to him, and said: “Truly, I tasted a little honey with the top of the staff that was in my hand. And behold, I shall die.”
Bongo Saulo alobaki na Jonatan: — Yebisa ngai likambo oyo osalaki. Jonatan alobaki: — Namekaki ndambo ya mafuta ya nzoyi na songe ya nzete oyo nazalaki na yango na maboko. Mpe sik’oyo nasengeli kokufa!
44 And Saul said, “May God do these things to me, and may he add these other things, for you shall surely die, Jonathan!”
Saulo alobaki: — Jonatan, tika ete Nzambe apesa ngai etumbu ya makasi koleka soki okufi te.
45 And the people said to Saul: “Why should Jonathan have to die, who has accomplished this great salvation in Israel? This is wrong. As the Lord lives, not one hair of his head should fall to the ground. For he has wrought with God this day.” Therefore, the people freed Jonathan, so that he would not die.
Kasi bato balobaki na Saulo: — Boni, Jonatan akokufa! Ye oyo asali ete Isalaele azwa kokangolama monene boye! Te! Na Kombo na Yawe, akokufa te! Suki ya moto na ye ata moko te ekokweya na se, pamba te ezali na lisungi ya Nzambe nde asali makambo oyo na mokolo ya lelo. Boye bato babikisaki Jonatan, mpe akufaki te.
46 And Saul withdrew, and he did not pursue the Philistines. And the Philistines went away to their own places.
Saulo atikaki kolanda bato ya Filisitia, mpe bato ya Filisitia bazongaki na mboka na bango.
47 And Saul, his kingdom having been confirmed over Israel, was fighting against all his enemies on all sides: against Moab, and the sons of Ammon, and Edom, and the kings of Zobah, and the Philistines. And wherever he turned himself, he was successful.
Tango Saulo azwaki bokonzi mpo na koyangela Isalaele, abundisaki banguna na bango na bangambo nyonso: Moabi, bato ya Amoni, Edomi, bakonzi ya Tsoba, mpe bato ya Filisitia. Bisika nyonso oyo azalaki kobaluka, azalaki kolonga bato wana.
48 And gathering together an army, he struck Amalek. And he rescued Israel from the hand of those who would lay waste to them.
Abundisaki na makasi nyonso bato ya Amaleki mpe alongaki bango, akangolaki Isalaele na maboko ya bato oyo bazalaki kobotola bango biloko.
49 Now the sons of Saul were Jonathan, and Ishvi, and Malchishua. And as for the names of his two daughters: the name of the firstborn daughter was Merab, and the name of the younger one was Michal.
Bana mibali ya Saulo bazalaki: Jonatan, Yishivi mpe Maliki-Shuwa. Azalaki na bana mibale ya basi: ya mokolo, kombo na ye ezalaki « Merabi; » mpe ya leki, « Mikali. »
50 And the name of the wife of Saul was Ahinoam, the daughter of Ahimaaz. And the name of the first ruler of his military was Abner, the son of Ner, the first cousin of Saul.
Kombo ya mwasi na ye ezalaki « Ayinoami, » mwana mwasi ya Ayimaatsi. Abineri, mwana mobali ya Neri, Noko ya Saulo, azalaki mokonzi ya mampinga ya Saulo.
51 For Kish was the father of Saul, and Ner was the father of Abner, and the son of Abiel.
Kishi, tata ya Saulo, mpe Neri, tata ya Abineri, bazalaki bana mibali ya Abieli.
52 Now there was a powerful war against the Philistines during all the days of Saul. And so, whomever Saul had seen to be a strong man, and fit for battle, he joined him to himself.
Na mikolo nyonso ya bomoi ya Saulo, bitumba ezalaki makasi na bato ya Filisitia; mpe bisika nyonso oyo Saulo azalaki komona bato ya makasi to ya mpiko, azalaki kozwa mpe kokotisa bango kati na mampinga na ye.
