< 1 Samuel 22 >

1 David escaped and went to the cave of Adullam. When they heard where he was his brothers and all the rest of his family went and joined him there.
Davidi alongwaki na Gati mpe akendeki kobombama na lidusu ya libanga ya Adulami. Tango bandeko na ye ya mibali mpe ya libota ya botata na ye bayokaki sango yango, bakitaki kuna epai na ye.
2 Everyone who was in trouble or in debt or resentful also came to him and he became their leader. He had around four hundred men with him.
Bato nyonso oyo bazalaki kati na minyoko, ba-oyo bazalaki na baniongo ya bato mosusu mpe ba-oyo mitema na bango ezoka, basanganaki zingazinga ya Davidi mpe akomaki mokambi na bango. Elongo na ye, ezalaki na bato pene nkama minei.
3 Then David went to Mizpeh in the country of Moab. He asked the king of Moab, “Please let my father and mother come and stay with you until I find out what God is planning for me.”
Kolongwa wana, Davidi akendeki na Mitsipe ya Moabi mpe alobaki na mokonzi ya Moabi: « Nabondeli yo: Pesa tata na ngai mpe mama na ngai ndingisa ya koya kovanda elongo na yo kino ngai nakoyeba makambo oyo Nzambe akosala mpo na ngai. »
4 So he left them with the king of Moab, and they stayed with the king all the time David lived in the stronghold.
Boye Davidi amemaki bango epai ya mokonzi ya Moabi, mpe bavandaki elongo na ye tango nyonso oyo Davidi azalaki kati na ndako ya makasi.
5 But then the prophet Gad told David, “Do not stay in the stronghold. Go back to the land of Judah.” So David left and went to the forest of Hereth.
Kasi mosakoli Gadi alobaki na Davidi: « Kovanda te kati na ndako oyo batonga makasi, kende na mokili ya Yuda. » Boye Davidi alongwaki mpe akendeki na zamba ya Ereti.
6 Saul found out that David had returned and where he was. Saul was sitting under the tamarisk tree on the hill in Gibeah. He had his spear in his hand, with all his officials surrounding him.
Saulo ayokaki ete bamonaki Davidi elongo na bato na ye. Wana Saulo azalaki na mopanga na loboko na ye mpe avandaki na Gibea, na likolo ya ngomba moke mpe na se ya nzete oyo babengi « Tamarisi » elongo na bakonzi nyonso ya mampinga na ye,
7 Saul said to them, “Listen to me, you men of Benjamin! Is the son of Jesse going to give all of you fields and vineyards and make you commanders and officers in the army?
Saulo ayebisaki bango: « Bino bato ya Benjame boyoka, bokanisi ete mwana ya Izayi akopesa bino nyonso bilanga mpe bilanga ya vino? Bokanisi ete akokomisa bino bakonzi ya bankoto to bakonzi ya bankama ya basoda?
8 Is that why you've all plotted against me? Not a single one of you told me that my own son had made an agreement with Jesse's son. Not a single one of you has shown you cared about me, or explained to me that my son has encouraged him to try and kill me, which is what he's doing right now!”
Ezali mpo na yango nde bino nyonso bosalelaki ngai likita? Moto moko te alobi na ngai na tina na boyokani oyo mwana na ngai ya mobali asalaki na mwana ya Izayi, mpe moko te kati na bino ayokeli ngai mawa mpo ete ayebisa ngai ete mwana na ngai asaleli ngai likita mpo ete mosali na ngai atelemela ngai mpe atiela ngai mitambo ndenge azali kosala yango na mokolo ya lelo? »
9 Doeg the Edomite, who was standing there with Saul's officers, spoke up, saying, “I saw the son of Jesse visit Ahimelech, son of Ahitub, at Nob.
Kasi Doegi, moto ya Edomi, oyo azalaki moko kati na basali ya Saulo, alobaki: « Namonaki mwana mobali ya Izayi koya na Nobi epai ya Ayimeleki, mwana mobali ya Ayitubi.
10 Ahimelech asked advice from the Lord for him and gave him food. He gave him the sword of Goliath the Philistine as well.”
Ayimeleki atunaki mpo na ye makambo epai na Yawe, mpe apesaki ye bilei mpe mopanga ya Goliati, moto ya Filisitia. »
11 The king sent a message to summon Ahimelech the priest, son of Ahitub, and all his family, who were priests at Nob. They all came to the king.
Boye mokonzi abengisaki Nganga-Nzambe Ayimeleki, mwana mobali ya Ayitubi; elongo na Banganga-Nzambe nyonso, bato ya libota na ye ya botata, oyo bazalaki na Nobi. Mpe bango nyonso bayaki epai ya mokonzi.
12 “Now you listen, son of Ahitub,” the king shouted. “What is it, my lord?” Ahimelech asked.
Saulo alobaki: — Yoka sik’oyo, mwana mobali ya Ayitubi. Ayimeleki azongisaki: — Nazali koyoka yo, nkolo na ngai.
13 “Why have you and the son of Jesse plotted against me? You gave him bread and a sword, and asked advice from God for him so that he could rebel against me and try and kill me, which is what he's doing right now!”
Saulo alobaki na ye: — Mpo na nini yo mpe mwana mobali ya Izayi bosalelaki ngai likita mpo na kotelemela ngai? Mpo na nini opesaki ye bilei mpe mopanga, mpe otunaki mpo na ye makambo epai na Nzambe, mpo ete atelemela ngai mpe atiela ngai mitambo ndenge azali kosala yango na mokolo ya lelo?
14 “Who of all your officers is as trustworthy as David, the king's son-in-law? He is in charge of your bodyguard, and highly respected in your family!” Ahimelech responded.
Ayimeleki azongiselaki mokonzi: — Boni, ezali na moto moko kati na basali na yo nyonso oyo azali na boyengebene lokola Davidi? Ye oyo azali bokilo ya mokonzi, mokambi ya basoda oyo bakengelaka yo mpe moto oyo aleki na lokumu kati na libota na yo?
15 “And was that day the first time he asked advice from God on his behalf? Of course not! The king should not accuse me your servant or any of my family, for I didn't know anything about any of this.”
Boni, mokolo wana ezalaki mbala na ngai ya liboso ya kotuna mpo na ye makambo epai ya Nzambe? Nakanisi ete ezali bongo te. Boye tika ete mokonzi atangela mosali na ye to moko kati na libota ya botata na ngai ngambo te; pamba te mosali na yo ayebi ata eloko moko te kati na likambo oyo nyonso.
16 “You're going to die for this!” the king declared. “You and all your family!”
Kasi mokonzi alobaki: — Ayimeleki, okokufa solo; yo mpe libota mobimba ya botata na yo.
17 Then the king turned to his bodyguards standing there and ordered them, “Kill these priests of the Lord, because they're on David's side! They knew he was a fugitive and yet they didn't tell me!” But the king's guards refused to attack the priests of the Lord.
Boye, mokonzi atindaki bakengeli na ye, oyo bazalaki na mopanzi na ye: « Bobaluka mpe boboma Banganga-Nzambe ya Yawe; pamba te bango mpe basungaki Davidi: bayebaki ete Davidi azalaki kokima kasi bayebisaki ngai te. » Kasi basoda oyo bakengelaka mokonzi baboyaki kosembola maboko na bango mpo na koboma Banganga-Nzambe ya Yawe.
18 So the king ordered Doeg, “You kill the priests!” Doeg the Edomite attacked and killed the priests, killing eighty-five men wearing the priestly ephod.
Mokonzi apesaki mitindo epai ya Doegi: « Yo, baluka mpe boma Banganga-Nzambe. » Boye Doegi, moto ya Edomi, abalukaki mpe abomaki bango. Na mokolo wana, abomaki bato tuku mwambe na mitano oyo balataki efode ya lino.
19 Then he went to Nob, the town of the priests, and slaughtered its men and women, children and infants, cattle, donkeys, and sheep.
Abomaki lisusu na mopanga kati na Nobi, engumba ya Banganga-Nzambe, mibali, basi, bana mpe bana mike, bangombe, ba-ane mpe bameme.
20 But one of the sons of Ahimelech, son of Ahitub, managed to escape. His name was Abiathar, and he ran away and joined David.
Kaka Abiatari, mwana mobali ya Ayimeleki mpe koko ya Ayitubi, nde abikaki mpe akimaki mpo na kokende kosangana na Davidi.
21 He told David that Saul had killed the priests of the Lord.
Abiatari ayebisaki Davidi ete Saulo asili koboma Banganga-Nzambe ya Yawe.
22 David told Abiathar, “I knew that day when Doeg the Edomite was there that he was going to tell Saul about it. It's my fault that all your family have died.
Boye Davidi alobaki na Abiatari: « Mokolo wana, nayebaki malamu ete lokola Doegi, moto ya Edomi, azalaki wana, akokaki kozanga te koyebisa Saulo. Boye ezali mpo na ngai nde bato nyonso ya libota ya botata na yo bakufi!
23 But you can stay with me and you don't need to be afraid, because the man who wants to kill you wants to kill me too. I'll take good care of you.”
Sik’oyo, vanda awa elongo na ngai, kobanga te. Pamba te moto oyo azali koluka bomoi na yo azali koluka mpe bomoi na ngai. Okobatelama malamu epai na ngai. »
