1 Samuel 21
1 And David came to Nob, to Ahimelech the priest; and Ahimelech trembled at meeting David, and said to him, Why art thou alone, and no man with thee?
Davidi akendeki na mboka Nobi epai ya Nganga-Nzambe Ayimeleki. Ayimeleki alengaki mpe akimaki mbangu mpo na kokende koyamba ye. Atunaki na Davidi: — Mpo na nini ozali yo moko? Mpo na nini ezali na moto moko te elongo na yo?
2 And David said to Ahimelech the priest, The king has commanded me a business, and has said to me, Let no man know anything of the business whereon I send thee, and what I have commanded thee; and I have directed the young men to such and such a place.
Davidi azongiselaki Nganga-Nzambe Ayimeleki: — Mokonzi apesaki ngai mosala moko boye mpe alobaki na ngai: « Tika ete moto moko te ayeba ata likambo moko na mosala oyo natindi yo. » Na tina na yango nde nasengaki na bato na ngai ete tokutana na esika moko.
3 And now what is under thy hand? give me five loaves in my hand, or what may be found.
Bongo sik’oyo, osimbi eloko nini na loboko na yo? Pesa ngai mapa mitano to eloko nyonso oyo okoki kozala na yango.
4 And the priest answered David and said, There is no common bread under my hand, but there is holy bread; if the young men have kept themselves at least from women.
Kasi Nganga-Nzambe azongiselaki Davidi: — Na loboko na ngai, nazali na mapa te oyo toliaka mikolo nyonso, kasi ezali kaka na mapa oyo ebulisama. Bato na yo bakoki kolia yango soki kaka basangisaki banzoto te na basi.
5 And David answered the priest and said to him, Yes indeed, women have been kept from us about these three days, since I came out, and the vessels of the young men are holy, and the [bread] is in a manner common, and the more so, because to-day [new] is hallowed in the vessels.
Davidi azongiselaki Nganga-Nzambe: — Solo, bapekisa biso basi ndenge kaka ezalaka tango nyonso na makambo ya boye. Kutu tango nakendaka bitumba, biloko ya bato na ngai ebulisamaka. Atako mosala ya mokolo ya lelo ezalaki bule te, kasi ekomi bule mpo ete bibundeli ebulisami.
6 And the priest gave him holy [bread]; for there was no bread there but the shew-loaves that were taken from before Jehovah, to put on hot bread in the day when they were taken away.
Bongo Nganga-Nzambe apesaki ye mapa ebulisama, pamba te azalaki na mapa mosusu te. Ezalaki mapa oyo batiaki liboso ya Yawe, oyo bawuti kolongola na miso na Ye mpo na kotia mapa mosusu oyo ebimi sika na moto, na esika ya mapa oyo ya liboso.
7 (Now a certain man of the servants of Saul was there that day, detained before Jehovah; and his name was Doeg, the Edomite, chief of the shepherds that [belonged] to Saul.)
Nzokande na mokolo yango wana, ezalaki na mosali moko, kati na basali ya Saulo, oyo atikalaki kuna liboso ya Yawe. Kombo na ye ezalaki « Doegi. » Azalaki moto ya Edomi, mpe mokonzi ya babateli bibwele ya Saulo.
8 And David said to Ahimelech, And is there not here under thy hand spear or sword? for I have neither brought my sword nor my weapons with me, for the king's business was urgent.
Davidi atunaki Ayimeleki: — Boni awa, ozali te ata na likonga moko to na mopanga na se na loboko na yo? Ngai namemaki te ezala mopanga na ngai to ebundeli na ngai mosusu, pamba te mosala ya mokonzi esengelaki kosalema na lombangu.
9 And the priest said, The sword of Goliath the Philistine, whom thou slewest in the valley of terebinths, behold, it is here wrapped in a cloth behind the ephod; if thou wilt take that, take it; for there is no other save that here. And David said, There is none like that: give it me.
Nganga-Nzambe azongisaki: — Ezali awa na mopanga ya Goliati, moto ya Filisitia, oyo obomaki na lubwaku ya Terebente; balinga yango na elamba sima na efode. Soki olingi kozwa yango, zwa na yo; pamba te ezali awa na mopanga mosusu te, bobele oyo wana. Davidi alobaki: — Mopanga moko te ekokani na yango; pesa ngai yango.
10 And David arose, and fled that day from before Saul, and went to Achish the king of Gath.
Na mokolo wana kaka, Davidi atelemaki, akimaki Saulo mpe akendeki epai ya Akishi, mokonzi ya Gati.
11 And the servants of Achish said to him, Is not this David the king of the land? did they not sing one to another of him in dances, saying, Saul has smitten his thousands, and David his ten thousands?
Kasi basali ya Akishi balobaki na ye: « Moto oyo azali Davidi te, mokonzi ya mboka? Ezali ye te oyo bazali koyemba boye na kobina na tina na ye: ‹ Saulo abomaki bankoto, mpe Davidi abomaki bankoto zomi? › »
12 And David took to heart these words, and was much afraid of Achish the king of Gath.
Davidi asimbamaki na maloba oyo mpe abangaki makasi Akishi, mokonzi ya Gati.
13 And he changed his behaviour before them, and feigned himself mad in their hands, and scratched on the doors of the gate, and let his spittle fall down on his beard.
Mpe wana akosaki kobela liboma na miso ya bato ya Filisitia, akomaki kosala kati na bango makambo lokola moto ya liboma: kokoma na bikuke ya bandako, mpe kotika soyi kotanga ye na mandefu.
14 And Achish said to his servants, Behold, ye see the man is mad: why did ye bring him to me?
Akishi alobaki na basali na ye: « Botala tata oyo, azali moto ya liboma! Mpo na nini boyei na ye epai na ngai?
15 have I lack of madmen, that ye have brought this one to rave in my presence? shall this [man] come into my house?
Boni, nazangi penza bato ya maboma mpo ete bomema mobali oyo awa, na tina ete aya kosala makambo na ye ya liboma? Boni, moto ya boye asengeli penza kokota na ndako na ngai? »
