1 Samuel 28
1 Around that time the Philistines called up their armies to go to war against Israel. So Achish told David, “You do realize that you and your men must accompany me as part of the army.”
Na tango wana, bato ya Filisitia basangisaki mampinga na bango ya basoda mpo na kobundisa Isalaele. Akishi alobaki na Davidi: — Osengeli koyeba ete yo mpe bato na yo bokokende na bitumba elongo na ngai.
2 “That's fine!” David replied. “Then you yourself will discover what I, your servant, can do.” “That's fine too,” Achish responded. “I'll make you my bodyguard for life.”
Davidi azongiselaki Akishi: — Okomona yo moko makambo oyo mosali na yo azali na makoki ya kosala. Akishi alobaki na Davidi: — Malamu mingi! Nakokomisa yo mpo na libela soda oyo abatelaka ngai.
3 By now Samuel had died, and all of Israel had mourned for him and buried him in Ramah, his home town. Saul had got rid of mediums and spiritists from the country.
Nzokande Samuele akufaki, mpe Isalaele mobimba esalelaki ye matanga. Bakundaki ye na Rama, engumba na ye. Saulo abenganaki na mokili na ye bato oyo basololaka na bakufi mpe bato na soloka.
4 The Philistine armies gathered and set up camp at Shunem. Saul called up all the Israelite army and set up camp at Gilboa.
Wana bato ya Filisitia basanganaki mpe bayaki kotonga molako, na Sunemi, Saulo mpe asangisaki bato nyonso ya Isalaele mpe batongaki molako na Giliboa.
5 When Saul saw the Philistine army, he was terrified, shaking with fear.
Tango Saulo amonaki mampinga ya bato ya Filisitia, abangaki mpe somo etondaki na motema na ye.
6 He asked advice from the Lord, but the Lord didn't answer him either by dreams or by Urim or by prophets.
Saulo atunaki Yawe, kasi Yawe ayanolaki te, ezala na nzela ya ndoto, ya Urimi to ya basakoli.
7 So Saul told his officers, “Find me a woman who is a medium so I can go and ask her advice.” “There's a woman who is a medium at Endor,” his officers replied.
Bongo, Saulo alobaki na basali na ye: — Bolukela ngai mwasi oyo asololaka na bakufi mpo ete nakende kotuna ye. Basali na ye bazongisaki: — Tala, ezali na mwasi moko na Eyini-Dori.
8 Saul disguised himself by wearing different clothes. He went with two of his men to the woman at night. Saul told her, “Bring up a spirit for me so I can ask some questions. I'll give you the name.”
Boye Saulo amibongolaki, alataki bilamba mosusu mpe akendeki epai ya mwasi yango, na butu, elongo na mibali mibale. Alobaki: — Nabondeli yo, solola na bakufi mpo na ngai, mpe bimisela ngai moto oyo nakotanga kombo na ye.
9 “Don't you know what Saul has done,” she replied. “He's got rid of the mediums and spiritists from the country. Are you trying to set a trap for me and get me killed?”
Kasi mwasi yango alobaki na ye: — Oyebi solo makambo oyo Saulo asalaki. Abenganaki na mokili, bato oyo basololaka na bakufi mpe bato na soloka. Bongo mpo na nini otieli bomoi na ngai motambo mpo na kobomisa ngai?
10 Saul swore an oath to her by the Lord, “As the Lord lives, you won't be held guilty for doing this.”
Saulo alapaki ndayi epai na ye na Kombo na Yawe, alobaki: « Na Kombo na Yawe, okozwa solo etumbu te mpo na yango. »
11 “Who do you want me to bring up for you?” the woman asked. “Bring up Samuel,” he replied.
Bongo mwasi yango atunaki: — Nabimisela yo nani? Saulo azongisaki: — Bimisela ngai Samuele.
12 But when the woman saw Samuel, she shouted loudly, and said to Saul, “Why have you tricked me? You're Saul!”
Tango mwasi yango amonaki Samuele, agangaki makasi mpe alobaki na Saulo: — Mpo na nini okosi ngai? Ozali Saulo!
13 “Don't be scared,” The king told her. “What can you see?” “I see a god coming up out of the ground,” the woman replied.
Mokonzi alobaki na ye: — Kobanga te, omoni nini? Mwasi alobaki na Saulo: — Namoni nzambe moko kobima na mabele.
14 “What does he look like?” Saul asked. “An old man is coming up,” she replied. “He has a robe wrapped around him” Saul thought it must be Samuel, and he bowed facedown in respect.
Saulo atunaki ye: — Azali ndenge nini? Mwasi azongisaki: — Ezali mobange mobali moko nde azali komata mpe alati kazaka. Bongo tango Saulo asosolaki ete ezali Samuele, akitaki mpe agumbamaki elongi kino na mabele.
15 Samuel said to Saul, “Why are you bothering me by bringing me up?” “I'm in terrible trouble,” Saul replied. “The Philistines are attacking me, and God has abandoned me. He doesn't answer me anymore, either by prophets or by dreams. That's why I have called you up so you tell me what to do.”
Samuele alobaki na Saulo: — Mpo na nini otungisi ngai mpe obimisi ngai? Saulo alobaki: — Nazali na pasi makasi: bato ya Filisitia bazali kobundisa ngai; bongo Nzambe apesi ngai mokongo, azali koyanola ngai te, ezala na nzela ya basakoli to ya bandoto. Yango wana nabengi yo mpo ete oyebisa ngai likambo nini nakoki kosala.
16 “Why come and ask me when the Lord has abandoned you and has become your enemy?” Samuel asked.
Samuele alobaki: — Mpo na nini ozali kotuna ngai, awa Yawe asili kopesa yo mokongo mpe akomi monguna na yo?
17 “The Lord has done to you exactly what he said through me, for Lord has ripped the kingdom from you and has given it to your neighbor, David.
Yawe akokisi kaka makambo oyo asakolaki na nzela na ngai: Yawe abotoli bokonzi na maboko na yo mpe apesi yango na moninga na yo, Davidi,
18 The Lord has done this to you today because you did not do what the Lord commanded and you did not execute his furious anger on the Amalekites.
pamba te otosaki Yawe te mpe okweyiselaki te bato ya Amaleki kanda ya Yawe na koboma bango nyonso. Yango wana Yawe asali yo bongo lelo.
19 The Lord will hand over Israel and you yourself to the Philistines. Tomorrow you and your sons will die and be with me. The Lord will also hand over the Israelite army of Israel to the Philistines.”
Yawe akokaba yo mpe Isalaele na maboko ya bato ya Filisitia.
20 Saul collapsed face down on the ground, terrified at what Samuel had said. He had no strength, because he hadn't eaten anything all that day and night.
Mbala moko, Saulo abombamaki na mabele mpe ayokaki maloba ya Samuele somo mingi. Nzoto na ye elembaki mpo ete aliaki eloko moko te mokolo mobimba mpe butu mobimba.
21 The woman came over to Saul and saw that he was absolutely terrified. She told him, “Look, sir, I did what you asked. I risked my life and did what you told me.
Tango mwasi apusanaki pembeni ya Saulo mpe amonaki ete azali lisusu na kimia te, alobaki na ye: — Tala, mwasi mosali na yo atosaki yo. Nandimaki kokufa mpo na kaka kosala makambo oyo otindaki ngai.
22 Now please do what I tell you. Let me bring you a little bit of food. Eat it, and you'll have the strength to go on your way.”
Sik’oyo, yo mpe, nabondeli yo: yoka mwasi mosali na yo, mpe tika ete ngai napesa yo bilei mpo ete olia mpe ozwa makasi ya kokoba nzela na yo.
23 But he refused, saying, “I can't eat anything.” But his men and the woman encouraged him to eat, and he did what they said. He got up from the ground and sat on the bed.
Kasi Saulo aboyaki mpe alobaki: — Nakolia te. Kasi lokola basali na ye elongo na mwasi batiaki molende, Saulo ayokelaki bango. Saulo alamukaki mpe avandaki na mbeto.
24 The woman had a fattened calf at the house, and she quickly went and slaughtered it. She also got some flour, kneaded it, and baked some unleavened bread.
Mwasi azalaki na mwana ngombe ya mafuta epai na ye, na etonga. Abonzaki yango noki-noki lokola mbeka. Akamataki farine, asangisaki yango mpe atumbelaki bango mapa ezanga levire.
25 She served the meal to Saul and his men, and they ate it. Then they got up and left, the same night.
Atiaki yango liboso ya Saulo mpe liboso ya basali na ye, mpe baliaki. Bongo na butu wana kaka, batelemaki mpe bakendeki.
