1 Samuel 29
1 The Philistines gathered all their armies at Aphek, and the Israelites set up camp by the spring in Jezreel.
Bato ya Filisitia basangisaki mampinga na bango ya basoda na Afeki, mpe Isalaele atongaki molako pene ya etima ya mayi oyo ezali na Jizireyeli.
2 The Philistine rulers were marching out in their divisions of hundreds and thousands with David and his men at the rear with King Achish.
Wana bakambi ya bato ya Filisitia batambolaki liboso ya mampinga na bango ya bankama mpe ya bankoto ya basoda, Davidi mpe bato na ye bazalaki kotambola na sima elongo na mokonzi Akishi.
3 But the Philistine commanders asked, “What are these Hebrews doing here?” Achish replied to the Philistine commanders, “That's David, an officer of King Saul of Israel. He's been with me for a long time, years even, and I haven't found any fault in him since the day he came over to our side up till now.”
Bakonzi ya basoda ya Filisitia batunaki: — Ba-Ebre oyo bazali kosala nini awa? Akishi alobaki na bango: — Ezali Davidi, mosali ya Saulo, mokonzi ya Isalaele. Azali elongo na ngai wuta mibu mpe mikolo; mpe natikali nanu kokanga ye ata na mbeba moko te.
4 But the Philistine commanders got angry with Achish, and told him, “Send him back to the place he came from, to the town you assigned to him. He can't go with us into battle. What if he turns on us during the fighting? What a great way for him to please his master—by handing over the heads of our men!
Kasi bakonzi ya basoda ya Filisitia batombokelaki Akishi mpe balobaki: — Zongisa moto oyo! Tika ete azonga na esika oyo otiaki ye; asengeli te kokende elongo na biso na bitumba, noki te akobalukela biso na tango ya bitumba. Mpe ndenge nini moto oyo akoki kosepelisa lisusu mokonzi na ye, soki na komema mito ya bato na biso moko te?
5 Isn't this the David they sing about in their dances: ‘Saul has killed his thousands, and David his tens of thousands’?”
Ezali Davidi wana te oyo na tina na ye babandaki koyemba mpe kobina: « Saulo abomaki bankoto, mpe Davidi abomaki bankoto zomi. »
6 So Achish called David over and told him, “As the Lord lives, you are honest and you've done what's right as far as I can see. As far as I'm concerned you should march with me into battle because I haven't found any fault in you from the day you arrived until now. But the other leaders don't approve of you.
Boye Akishi abengaki Davidi mpe alobaki na ye: — Na Kombo na Yawe, ozali moto ya sembo. Nasepelaka komona yo kokende mpe kozonga elongo na ngai kati na mampinga. Wuta mokolo oyo oyaki epai na ngai kino lelo, natikali nanu kokanga yo na mbeba ata moko te; kasi bakambi ya bato ya Filisitia bazali kondima yo te.
7 So go back home in peace, and that way you won't do anything to upset the Philistine leaders.”
Boye, zonga mpe kende na kimia; kosala eloko moko te oyo ekosepelisa te bakambi ya bato ya Filisitia.
8 “But what have I done?” David asked. “What fault have you found in me, your servant, from the day I came to you until now, that would prevent me from going to fight the enemies of my lord the king?”
Davidi atunaki Akishi: — Nasali nini? Eloko nini ya mabe oyo omoni epai ya mosali na yo wuta mokolo oyo nayaki epai na yo kino lelo? Mpo na nini nakoki te kokende kobundisa banguna ya mokonzi, nkolo na ngai?
9 “As far as I'm concerned, you're as good as an angel of God,” Achish replied. “But the Philistine commanders have stated, ‘He can't go into battle with us.’
Akishi azongiselaki Davidi: — Nayebi ete osepelisaka ngai lokola Anjelu na Nzambe, Kasi bakonzi ya basoda ya Filisitia balobi: « Asengeli te kokende elongo na biso na bitumba. »
10 So get up early tomorrow morning and leave with your men as soon as it's light.”
Boye, lamuka na tongo makasi, yo mpe basoda ya nkolo na yo, oyo bayaki elongo na yo. Bolamuka na tongo makasi mpe bokende wana moyi ekobima.
11 David and his men got up early in the morning and went back to the country of the Philistines. But the Philistines advanced on Jezreel.
Boye, Davidi mpe bato na ye batelemaki na tongo makasi mpo na kozonga na mokili ya bato ya Filisitia; mpe bato ya Filisitia bakendeki na Jizireyeli.
