2 Samuel 3
1 Then a long struggle occurred between the house of Saul and the house of David, with David prospering and growing ever stronger, but the house of Saul decreasing daily.
Bitumba kati na libota ya Saulo mpe libota ya Davidi ewumelaki tango molayi. Wana makasi ya Davidi ezalaki komata se komata, makasi ya libota ya Saulo ezalaki kaka kokita.
2 And sons were born to David in Hebron. And his firstborn son was Amnon, from Ahinoam the Jezreelite.
Tala bana mibali ya Davidi oyo babotamaki na Ebron: Mwana ya liboso ezalaki Aminoni oyo Ayinoami, moto ya Jizireyeli, abotelaki ye;
3 And after him, there was Chileab, from Abigail, the wife of Nabal of Carmel. Then the third was Absalom, the son of Maacah, the daughter of Talmai, the king of Geshur.
ya mibale, Kileabi oyo Abigayili oyo akufisaki mobali na ye ya liboso, Nabali, moto ya Karimeli, abotelaki ye; ya misato, Abisalomi oyo Maaka, mwana ya Talimayi, mokonzi ya Geshuri, abotelaki ye;
4 Then the fourth was Adonijah, the son of Haggith. And the fifth was Shephatiah, the son of Abital.
ya minei, Adoniya oyo Agite abotelaki ye; ya mitano, Shefatia oyo Abitali abotelaki ye;
5 Also, the sixth was Ithream, from Eglah, the wife of David. These were born to David at Hebron.
ya motoba, Yitileami oyo Egila, mwasi ya Davidi, abotelaki ye. Bango nde bana mibali ya Davidi oyo babotamaki na Ebron.
6 Then, while there was a battle between the house of Saul and the house of David, Abner, the son of Ner, was reigning over the house of Saul.
Na tango ya bitumba kati na mabota ya Saulo mpe ya Davidi, Abineri azalaki kolendisa nguya na ye kati na ndako ya Saulo.
7 Now Saul had a concubine named Rizpah, the daughter of Aiah. And Ishbosheth said to Abner,
Nzokande, Saulo azalaki na makangu moko; kombo na ye ezalaki « Ritsipa, » mwana mwasi ya Aya. Bongo Ishi-Bosheti alobaki na Abineri: — Mpo na nini osangisi nzoto na makangu ya tata na ngai?
8 “Why did you enter to the concubine of my father?” But he, being exceedingly angry at the words of Ishbosheth, said: “Am I the head of a dog against Judah this day? I have shown mercy to the house of Saul, your father, and to his brothers and friends. And I have not delivered you into the hands of David. And yet today you have sought me, so that you might rebuke me over a woman?
Tango Abineri ayokaki makambo oyo Ishi-Bosheti alobaki, asilikaki makasi mpe azongisaki: — Boni! Ngai nazali moto ya mbwa na ngambo ya bato ya Yuda? Ngai oyo, na mokolo ya lelo, nazali kosalela bosembo epai ya libota ya Saulo, tata na yo, epai ya bandeko na ye mpe epai ya baninga na ye; ngai oyo nakabaki yo te na maboko ya Davidi, ngai nde sik’oyo ozali kofunda ete nasali mabe na tina na mwasi oyo!
9 May God do these things to Abner, and may he add these other things, if, in the same way that the Lord swore to David, I do not do so with him:
Tika ete Nzambe apesa ngai Abineri etumbu ya makasi soki nasali te mpo na Davidi makambo oyo Yawe alakaki ye, na nzela ya ndayi,
10 that the kingdom be transferred from the house of Saul, and that the throne of David be elevated over Israel and over Judah, from Dan to Beersheba.”
ete akolongola bokonzi na ndako ya Saulo mpe akotia kiti ya bokonzi ya Davidi kati na Isalaele mpe kati na Yuda, longwa na Dani kino na Beri-Sheba.
11 And he was not able to respond anything to him, because he was in fear of him.
Ishi-Bosheti akokaki kozongisa ata liloba moko te epai ya Abineri, pamba te azalaki kobanga ye.
12 Therefore, Abner sent messengers to David for himself, saying, “Whose is the land?” and so that they would say, “Make a friendship with me, and my hand will be with you, and I will lead back all of Israel to you.”
Abineri atindaki bantoma koloba na Davidi: — Mokili oyo ezali ya nani? Sala boyokani elongo na ngai, bongo ngai nakosunga yo mpo na kosangisa Isalaele mobimba epai na yo.
13 And he said: “It is best. I will make a friendship with you. But one thing I ask of you, saying: You shall not see my face before you bring Michal, the daughter of Saul. And in this way, you shall come, and see me.”
Davidi azongisaki: — Malamu! Nandimi kosala boyokani elongo na yo, kasi nasengi yo eloko moko: koya liboso na ngai te soki otindeli ngai nanu te Mikali, mwana mwasi ya Saulo, tango okoya kokutana na ngai.
14 Then David sent messengers to Ishbosheth, the son of Saul, saying, “Restore my wife Michal, whom I espoused to myself for one hundred foreskins of the Philistines.”
Bongo Davidi atindaki bantoma koloba na Ishi-Bosheti, mwana mobali ya Saulo: — Pesa ngai mwasi na ngai, Mikali, oyo nabalaki ngai moko na motuya ya bangenga nkama moko ya bato ya Filisitia.
15 Therefore, Ishbosheth sent and took her from her husband Paltiel, the son of Laish.
Boye Ishi-Bosheti atindaki bato kozwa Mikali epai ya mobali na ye, Palitieli, mwana mobali ya Laishi.
16 And her husband was following her, weeping, as far as Bahurim. And Abner said to him, “Go and return.” And he returned.
Mobali na ye alandaki ye na kolela kino na Bawurimi. Kasi Abineri alobaki na mobali yango: — Zonga na ndako na yo. Mpe mobali azongaki.
17 Likewise, Abner sent word to the elders of Israel, saying: “As much yesterday as the day before, you were seeking David, so that he might reign over you.
Abineri asololaki na bampaka ya Isalaele mpe alobaki na bango: — Lokola wuta kala bolingaka ete Davidi akoma mokonzi na bino,
18 Therefore, accomplish it now. For the Lord has spoken to David, saying: ‘By the hand of my servant David, I will save my people Israel from the hand of the Philistines and of all their enemies.’”
bosala yango sik’oyo; pamba te Yawe alobaki boye na tina na ye: « Ezali na nzela ya Davidi, mosali na ngai, nde nakobikisa bato na Ngai, Isalaele, na maboko ya bato ya Filisitia mpe ya banguna na bango nyonso. »
19 Then Abner also spoke to Benjamin. And he went away, so that he might speak to David in Hebron all that would be pleasing to Israel and to all of Benjamin.
Sima na Abineri koloba likambo yango epai ya bato ya libota ya Benjame, akendeki na Ebron mpo na koyebisa Davidi makambo nyonso oyo bato ya Isalaele mpe libota mobimba ya Benjame babongisaki.
20 And he went to David in Hebron with twenty men. And David made a feast for Abner, and for his men who had arrived with him.
Mpe tango Abineri elongo na bato na ye, tuku mibale, bakomaki epai ya Davidi, na Ebron, Davidi asaliselaki bango feti.
21 And Abner said to David, “I will rise up, so that I may gather all of Israel to you, my lord the king, and so that I may enter into a pact with you, and so that you may reign over all, just as your soul desires.” Then, when David had led Abner away, and he had departed in peace,
Abineri alobaki na Davidi: — Na ndingisa na yo mokonzi, nkolo na ngai, nalingi kokende sik’oyo kosangisela yo bato nyonso ya Isalaele mpo ete basala boyokani elongo na yo; mpe na bongo, yo okokonza na bisika nyonso oyo olingi. Davidi atikaki Abineri kokende, mpe Abineri azongaki na kimia.
22 immediately the servants of David and of Joab arrived, after having slain robbers, with exceedingly great spoils. But Abner was not with David in Hebron. For by then he had sent him away, and he had set out in peace.
Sima na mwa tango, basali ya Davidi mpe Joabi bazongaki wuta na bitumba mpe bamemaki bomengo ebele ya bitumba. Abineri azalaki lisusu na Ebron te, epai ya Davidi, pamba te Davidi asilaki kotika ye kokende, mpe azongaki na kimia.
23 And Joab, and the entire army that was with him, had arrived afterward. And so, it was reported to Joab, explaining that Abner, the son of Ner, went to the king, and he dismissed him, and he went away in peace.
Tango kaka Joabi mpe basoda na ye nyonso bakomaki, bayebisaki Joabi: — Abineri, mwana mobali ya Neri, ayaki epai ya mokonzi; bongo mokonzi atikaki ye kokende, mpe azongaki na kimia.
24 And Joab entered to the king, and he said: “What have you done? Behold, Abner came to you. Why did you dismiss him, so that he has gone and departed?
Joabi akendeki komona mokonzi mpe alobaki na ye: — Eloko nini oyo osali? Mpo na nini otikaki penza Abineri oyo ayaki epai na yo kokende? Mpe tala sik’oyo, akei!
25 Do you not know, about Abner, the son of Ner, that he came to you for this, so that he might deceive you, and might know of your departure and your return, and so that he might know all that you do?”
Nzokande oyebi malamu Abineri, mwana mobali ya Neri! Soki ayaki epai na yo, ezalaki nde mpo na kokosa yo, mpo na kononga mpe koluka koyeba bisika nyonso oyo otambolaka mpe makambo nyonso oyo osalaka.
26 And so, Joab, going out from David, sent messengers after Abner, and he brought him back from the cistern of Sirah, without David knowing.
Sima na Joabi kowuta na ndako ya Davidi, atindaki bantoma mpo ete balanda mpe bakanga Abineri. Mpe wana Davidi ayebaki te, bantoma bazongisaki Abineri wuta na libulu ya mayi ya Sira.
27 And when Abner had returned to Hebron, Joab took him alone to the middle of the gate, so that he might speak to him, but with deceit. And there, he stabbed him in the groin, and he died, in revenge for the blood of Asahel, his brother.
Tango Abineri azongaki lisusu na Ebron, Joabi abendaki ye na pembeni, na kati-kati ya ekuke ya engumba lokola nde alingi kosolola na ye na nkuku. Mpe kuna, mpo na kozongisa mabe na mabe na tina na makila ya ndeko na ye ya mobali Asaeli, Joabi atubaki Abineri mbeli na libumu, mpe Abineri akufaki.
28 And when David had heard of it, now that the matter was done, he said: “I and my kingdom are clean before the Lord, even forever, of the blood of Abner, the son of Ner.
Sima na yango, tango kaka Davidi ayokaki sango ya makambo oyo ewutaki kosalema, alobaki: — Na miso ya Yawe, ngai mpe bokonzi na ngai tozali na ngambo te mpo na libela na tina na makila ya Abineri, mwana mobali ya Neri.
29 And may it fall upon the head of Joab, and upon the entire house of his father. And may there not fail to be, in the house of Joab, one who suffers from a flow of seed, or one who is leprous, or one who is effeminate, or one who falls by the sword, or one who is in need of bread.”
Tika ete makila na ye etangama na moto ya Joabi mpe ya libota na ye mobimba! Tika ete ndako ya Joabi ezangaka te bato oyo bakobela bokono ya sopisi to bokono ya maba to bato oyo bakotambola na banzete to bato oyo bakokufa na mopanga to bato oyo bakozanga bilei.
30 And so, Joab and his brother Abishai killed Abner, because he had killed their brother Asahel at Gibeon, during the battle.
Joabi mpe ndeko na ye ya mobali, Abishayi, babomaki Abineri mpo ete abomaki Asaeli, ndeko na bango ya mobali, na bitumba ya Gabaoni.
31 Then David said to Joab, and to all the people who were with him, “Tear your garments, and gird yourselves with sackcloth, and mourn before the funeral procession of Abner.” Moreover, king David himself was following the casket.
Bongo Davidi alobaki na Joabi mpe na bato nyonso oyo bazalaki elongo na ye: — Bopasola bilamba na bino mpe bolata basaki, bosala matanga liboso ya Abineri. Ye moko mokonzi Davidi atambolaki na sima ya ebembe.
32 And when they had buried Abner in Hebron, king David lifted up his voice, and he wept over the burial mound of Abner. And all the people also wept.
Bakundaki Abineri, na Ebron, mpe mokonzi alelaki makasi na likolo ya kunda ya Abineri. Bato nyonso mpe balelaki.
33 And the king, mourning and lamenting Abner, said: “By no means has Abner died the way that cowards usually die.
Bongo mokonzi ayembaki nzembo oyo ya mawa mpo na Abineri: « Esengelaki ete Abineri akufa penza lokola zoba?
34 Your hands are not bound, and your feet are not weighed down with fetters. But just as men often fall before the sons of iniquity, so you have fallen.” And while repeating this, all the people wept over him.
Bakangaki te maboko na yo na basinga, bakangaki te makolo na yo na basheni. Kasi okweyi ndenge bakweyaka liboso ya babomi. » Mpe bato nyonso balelaki ye lisusu makasi
35 And when the entire multitude had arrived to take food with David, while it was still broad daylight, David swore, saying, “May God do these things to me, and may he add these other things, if I taste bread or anything else before the sun sets.”
mpe basengaki na Davidi ete alia wana moyi ezali nanu. Kasi Davidi alapaki ndayi na maloba oyo: « Tika ete Nzambe apesa ngai etumbu oyo eleki makasi soki nameki kolia mapa to eloko mosusu liboso ete moyi elala! »
36 And all the people heard it, and everything that the king did in the sight of the entire people was pleasing to them.
Bato nyonso bayokaki ndayi yango mpe basepelaki na yango: bazalaki kosepela na makambo nyonso oyo mokonzi azalaki kosala.
37 And every common person, and all of Israel, realized on that day that the killing of Abner, the son of Ner, had not been done by the king.
Mpe na mokolo wana, basoda nyonso ya Isalaele mpe Isalaele mobimba bandimaki ete mokonzi ayebaki ata likambo moko te na tina na kufa ya Abineri, mwana mobali ya Neri.
38 The king also said to his servants: “Could you be ignorant that a leader and a very great man has fallen today in Israel?
Mokonzi alobaki na basali na ye: « Boni, boyebi na bino ete mokambi moko mpe moto moko ya monene akweyi lelo kati na Isalaele?
39 But I am still tender, and yet anointed king. And these men of the sons of Zeruiah are too harsh for me. May the Lord repay whoever does evil in accord with his malice.”
Na mokolo ya lelo, atako bapakola ngai mafuta lokola mokonzi, nazali na makasi te, mpe bana mibali oyo ya Tseruya baleki ngai na makasi. Tika ete Yawe apesa etumbu na moto oyo asali mabe oyo kolanda mabe na ye! »
