1 Samuel 11
1 Then Nahash the Ammonite came vp, and besieged Iabesh Gilead: and all the men of Iabesh saide vnto Nahash, Make a couenant with vs, and we will be thy seruants.
Naashi, moto ya Amoni, ayaki kotonga molako na ye liboso ya Yabeshi ya Galadi. Mpe bato nyonso ya engumba Yabeshi balobaki na Naashi: — Sala boyokani elongo na biso, mpe tokokoma bawumbu na yo.
2 And Nahash ye Ammonite answered them, On this condition will I make a couenant with you, that I may thrust out all your right eies, and bring that shame vpon all Israel.
Kasi Naashi, moto ya Amoni, azongisaki: — Nakoki kosala boyokani elongo na bino soki kaka bondimi ete natobola bino nyonso liso ya ngambo ya mobali. Na bongo, nakoyokisa Isalaele mobimba soni.
3 To whome the Elders of Iabesh said, Giue vs seuen daies respet, that we may sende messengers vnto all the coastes of Israel: and then if no man deliuer vs, we will come out to thee.
Bampaka ya Yabeshi balobaki na ye: — Pesa biso mikolo sambo mpo ete totinda bantoma kati na mokili mobimba ya Isalaele; soki moto moko te ayei kobikisa biso, wana tokomikaba na maboko na yo.
4 Then came the messengers to Gibeah of Saul, and tolde these tidings in the eares of the people: and all the people lift vp their voices and wept.
Tango bantoma bakomaki na Gibea, engumba ya Saulo, mpe balobaki na bato makambo nyonso oyo ezalaki koleka, bato nyonso balelaki makasi.
5 And behold, Saul came following the cattell out of the fielde, and Saul saide, What aileth this people, that they weepe? And they tolde him the tidings of the men of Iabesh.
Kaka na tango yango, Saulo awutaki na bilanga, sima na bangombe na ye. Atunaki: « Likambo nini ya mabe ekweyeli bato mpo ete balela boye? » Bayebisaki ye makambo nyonso oyo bato ya Yabeshi balobaki.
6 Then the Spirit of God came vpon Saul, when he heard those tidings, and he was exceeding angrie,
Tango Saulo ayokaki maloba na bango, Molimo na Nzambe akitelaki ye na nguya mpe asilikaki makasi.
7 And tooke a yoke of oxen, and hewed them in pieces, and sent them throughout all the coastes of Israel by the hands of messengers, saying, Whosoeuer commeth not foorth after Saul, and after Samuel, so shall his oxen be serued. And the feare of the Lord fell on the people, and they came out with one consent.
Akamataki bangombe mibale, akataki yango na biteni mpe atindaki biteni yango na Isalaele mobimba na nzela ya bantoma. Bamemaki sango oyo: « Ezali boye nde bakosala bangombe ya moto nyonso oyo akolanda te Saulo mpe Samuele na bitumba. » Lokola somo makasi ya Yawe ekangaki bato ya Isalaele, batambolaki lokola moto moko.
8 And when he nombred them in Bezek, the children of Israel were three hundreth thousande men: and the men of Iudah thirtie thousand.
Saulo atangaki bango, na Bezeki; motango ezalaki: mibali ya Isalaele nkoto nkama misato, mpe mibali ya Yuda nkoto tuku misato.
9 Then they saide vnto the messengers that came, So say vnto the men of Iabesh Gilead, To morowe by then the sunne be hote, ye shall haue helpe. And the messengers came and shewed it to the men of Iabesh, which were glad.
Balobaki na bantoma oyo bawutaki na Yabeshi: « Bokende koloba na mibali ya Yabeshi ya Galadi: ‹ Bokokangolama lobi, na tango moyi ekongala makasi. › » Tango bantoma bakendeki mpe bapesaki sango yango epai ya bato ya Yabeshi, bato yango basepelaki makasi.
10 Therefore the men of Iabesh sayde, To morowe we will come out vnto you, and yee shall doe with vs all that pleaseth you.
Boye bato ya Yabeshi balobaki na bato ya Amoni: « Tokomikaba lobi na maboko na bino, mpe bokosala biso nyonso oyo bokomona ete ezali malamu. »
11 And when the morowe was come, Saul put the people in three bandes, and they came in vpon the hoste in the morning watche, and slewe the Ammonites vntill the heate of the day: and they that remained, were scattered, so that two of them were not left together.
Mokolo oyo elandaki, Saulo akabolaki mibali na ye na masanga misato. Mpe liboso ete tongo etana, bakotaki na molako ya bato ya Amoni mpe babomaki bango kino na tango oyo moyi engalaki makasi. Bapanzaki bato oyo babikaki na lolenge oyo esalaki ete etikalaki ata na mibali mibale te kati na bango oyo bakobaki kozala esika moko.
12 Then the people said vnto Samuel, Who is he that saide, Shall Saul reigne ouer vs? bring those men that we may slaie them.
Bato balobaki na Samuele: — Wapi bato oyo bazalaki koloba: « Boni, Saulo akoyangela biso? » Bomemela biso bato yango mpo ete toboma bango.
13 But Saul said, There shall no man die this day: for to day the Lord hath saued Israel.
Kasi Saulo alobaki: — Moto moko te akokufa na mokolo ya lelo, pamba te Yawe akangoli Isalaele na mokolo ya lelo.
14 Then saide Samuel vnto ye people, Come, that we may goe to Gilgal, and renue the kingdome there.
Samuele alobaki na bato: — Boya! Tokende na Giligali mpo na kovandisa kuna bokonzi ya Saulo.
15 So all the people went to Gilgal, and made Saul King there before the Lord in Gilgal: and there they offered peace offerings before the Lord: and there Saul and all the men of Israel reioyced exceedingly.
Bato nyonso bakendeki na Giligali mpe batiaki kuna Saulo lokola mokonzi, na miso ya Yawe. Babonzaki kuna bambeka ya boyokani na miso ya Yawe, mpe Saulo elongo na mibali nyonso ya Isalaele basepelaki makasi.
