< 2 Samuel 3 >
1 And the war was long between the house of Saul and the house of David; but David became continually stronger, and the house of Saul became continually weaker.
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 to David were sons born in Hebron: his firstborn was Amnon, of Ahinoam the Jizreelitess;
Tala bana mibali ya Davidi oyo babotamaki na Ebron: Mwana ya liboso ezalaki Aminoni oyo Ayinoami, moto ya Jizireyeli, abotelaki ye;
3 and his second, Chileab, of Abigail the wife of Nabal the Carmelite; and the third, Absalom the son of Maachah, daughter of Talmai 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 and the fourth, Adonijah the son of Haggith; and the fifth, Shephatiah the son of Abital;
ya minei, Adoniya oyo Agite abotelaki ye; ya mitano, Shefatia oyo Abitali abotelaki ye;
5 and the sixth, Ithream, of Eglah David's wife. These were born to David in Hebron.
ya motoba, Yitileami oyo Egila, mwasi ya Davidi, abotelaki ye. Bango nde bana mibali ya Davidi oyo babotamaki na Ebron.
6 And it came to pass while there was war between the house of Saul and the house of David, that Abner made himself strong for 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 And Saul had a concubine whose name was Rizpah, the daughter of Aiah. And [Ishbosheth] said to Abner, Why hast thou gone in to my father's concubine?
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 Then was Abner very wroth for the words of Ishbosheth, and said, Am I a dog's head, I who against Judah do shew kindness this day to the house of Saul thy father, to his brethren, and to his friends, and have not delivered thee into the hand of David, that thou reproachest me this day with the fault of this 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 So do God to Abner, and more also, if, as Jehovah has sworn to David, I do not so to 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 to translate the kingdom from the house of Saul, and to set up the throne of David over Israel and over Judah, from Dan even to Beer-sheba!
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 could not answer Abner a word again, because he feared him.
Ishi-Bosheti akokaki kozongisa ata liloba moko te epai ya Abineri, pamba te azalaki kobanga ye.
12 And Abner sent messengers to David on his behalf, saying, Whose is the land? saying [also], Make thy covenant with me, and behold, my hand shall be with thee, to turn all Israel to thee.
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, Well, I will make a covenant with thee; only I require one thing of thee, that is, Thou shalt not see my face, except thou first bring Michal Saul's daughter, when thou comest to see my face.
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 And David sent messengers to Ishbosheth Saul's son, saying, Deliver me my wife Michal, whom I espoused to me for a 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 And Ishbosheth sent, and took her from [her] husband, from Phaltiel 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 went with her along weeping behind her to Bahurim. Then said Abner to him, Go, 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 Now Abner had communicated with the elders of Israel, saying, Ye sought for David aforetime to be king over you;
Abineri asololaki na bampaka ya Isalaele mpe alobaki na bango: — Lokola wuta kala bolingaka ete Davidi akoma mokonzi na bino,
18 and now do [it], for Jehovah has spoken of David, saying, By my servant David will I save my people Israel out of the hand of the Philistines, and out of the hand 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 And Abner also spoke in the ears of Benjamin; and Abner went also to speak in the ears of David in Hebron all that seemed good to Israel, and that seemed good to the whole house 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 So Abner came to David to Hebron, and twenty men with him. And David made Abner and the men that were with him a repast.
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 arise and go, and will gather all Israel to my lord the king, that they may make a covenant with thee, and that thou mayest reign over all that thy heart desires. And David sent Abner away; and he went 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 And behold, the servants of David and Joab came from an expedition, and brought in a great spoil with them; but Abner was no longer with David in Hebron, for he had sent him away, and he had gone 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 all the host that was with him came; and they told Joab, saying, Abner the son of Ner came to the king, and he has sent him away; and he is gone 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 Then Joab came to the king, and said, What hast thou done? behold, Abner came to thee; why is it [that] thou hast sent him away, and he is gone?
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 Thou knowest Abner the son of Ner, that he came to deceive thee, to know thy going out and thy coming in, and to know all that thou doest.
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 when Joab was come out from David, he sent messengers after Abner, who brought him again from the well of Sirah; but David did not know it.
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 was returned to Hebron, Joab took him aside in the gate to speak with him secretly, and smote him there in the belly, that he died, 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 afterwards David heard [it], and he said, I and my kingdom are guiltless before Jehovah for ever from 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 let it fall on the head of Joab, and on all his father's house; and let there not fail from the house of Joab one that has an issue, or that is a leper, or that leans on a staff, or that falls by the sword, or that lacks 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 So Joab and Abishai his brother killed Abner, because he had slain their brother Asahel at Gibeon in 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 And David said to Joab, and to all the people that were with him, Rend your garments, and gird yourselves with sackcloth, and mourn before Abner. And king David followed the bier.
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 they buried Abner in Hebron; and the king lifted up his voice and wept at the grave of Abner; and all the people wept.
Bakundaki Abineri, na Ebron, mpe mokonzi alelaki makasi na likolo ya kunda ya Abineri. Bato nyonso mpe balelaki.
33 And the king lamented over Abner, and said, Should Abner die as a fool dieth?
Bongo mokonzi ayembaki nzembo oyo ya mawa mpo na Abineri: « Esengelaki ete Abineri akufa penza lokola zoba?
34 Thy hands were not bound, Nor thy feet put into fetters; As a man falleth before wicked men, Fellest thou! And all the people wept again 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 all the people came to cause David to eat bread while it was yet day; but David swore, saying, So do God to me, and more also, if I taste bread or aught else till the sun be down!
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 remarked it, and it pleased them; as whatever the king did pleased all the people.
Bato nyonso bayokaki ndayi yango mpe basepelaki na yango: bazalaki kosepela na makambo nyonso oyo mokonzi azalaki kosala.
37 And all the people and all Israel understood that day that it was not of the king to put Abner the son of Ner to death.
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 And the king said to his servants, Know ye not that there is a prince and a great man fallen this day 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 And I am this day weak, though anointed king; and these men, the sons of Zeruiah, are too hard for me: Jehovah reward the doer of evil according to his wickedness!
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! »
