1 Samuel 13
1 Saul nowe had beene King one yeere, and he reigned two yeeres ouer Israel.
Saulo azalaki na mibu tuku misato ya mbotama tango akomaki mokonzi, mpe akonzaki Isalaele mibu tuku minei na mibale.
2 Then Saul chose him three thousand of Israel: and two thousande were with Saul in Michmash, and in mount Beth-el, and a thousande were with Ionathan in Gibeah of Beniamin: and the rest of the people he sent euery one to his tent.
Saulo aponaki mibali nkoto misato kati na Isalaele: bato nkoto mibale bazalaki elongo na ye na Mikimasi mpe kati na etuka ya ngomba ya Beteli, mpe bato nkoto moko bazalaki elongo na Jonatan, na Gibea ya Benjame. Bato mosusu oyo batikali, azongisaki bango na bandako na bango.
3 And Ionathan smote the garison of the Philistims, that was in the hill: and it came to the Philistims eares: and Saul blewe the trumpet throughout all the land, saying, Heare, O yee Ebrewes.
Jonatan alongaki bakambi ya bato ya Filisitia, oyo bazalaki na Geba. Bongo bato ya Filisitia bayokaki sango na yango. Boye Saulo abetaki kelelo kati na mokili mobimba, mpe alobaki: « Tika ete Ba-Ebre bayoka! »
4 And al Israel heard say, Saul hath destroied a garison of the Philistims: wherefore Israel was had in abomination with the Philistims: and the people gathered together after Saul to Gilgal.
Bato nyonso ya Isalaele bayokaki sango oyo azalaki koloba ete Saulo abundisaki mpe alongaki bakambi ya bato ya Filisitia, mpe ete bato ya Filisitia bayinaki bato ya Isalaele. Bato nyonso basanganaki na Giligali mpo na kokende kobunda elongo na Saulo.
5 The Philistims also gathered themselues together to fight with Israel, thirty thousand charets, and sixe thousande horsemen: for the people was like the sand which is by the seas side in multitude, and came vp, and pitched in Michmash Eastward from Beth-auen.
Bato ya Filisitia basanganaki mpo na kobundisa bato ya Isalaele; bazalaki na bashar nkoto tuku misato; basoda oyo babundaka likolo ya bampunda, nkoto motoba; mpe basoda oyo motango na bango ezalaki ebele lokola zelo ya ebale monene. Bayaki mpe batongaki molako na bango, na Mikimasi, na ngambo ya este ya Beti-Aveni.
6 And when the men of Israel saw that they were in a strait (for the people were in distresse) the people hid themselues in caues, and in holdes, and in rockes, and in towres, and in pittes.
Tango bato ya Isalaele bamonaki ete bakomi na pasi, mpe ete mampinga na bango ezingami na bangambo nyonso, babombamaki kati na madusu ya mabanga, kati na mabulu, kati na mabanga, mpe kati na bandako ya se ya mabele.
7 And some of the Ebrewes went ouer Iorden vnto the lande of Gad and Gilead: and Saul was yet in Gilgal, and al the people for feare followed him.
Ndambo ya Ba-Ebre mosusu bakatisaki mayi ya Yordani mpo na kokende na mokili ya Gadi mpe ya Galadi. Saulo azalaki nanu na Giligali, mampinga nyonso oyo ezalaki elongo na ye ezalaki kolenga na somo.
8 And he taried seuen daies, according vnto the time that Samuel had appointed: but Samuel came not to Gilgal, therefore the people were scattered from him.
Azelaki mikolo sambo, tango oyo Samuele akataki. Kasi mpo ete Samuele ayaki te na Giligali, yango wana bato batikaki Saulo mpe bapalanganaki.
9 And Saul sayde, Bring a burnt offering to me and peace offrings: and he offered a burnt offering.
Saulo alobaki: « Bomemela ngai banyama ya mbeka ya kotumba mpe bambeka ya boyokani. » Mpe Saulo abonzaki mbeka ya kotumba.
10 And assoone as hee had made an ende of offering the burnt offering, beholde, Samuel came: and Saul went foorth to meete him, to salute him.
Bongo tango kaka asilisaki kobonza mbeka yango ya kotumba, Samuele akomaki. Saulo abimaki mpo na kokende kopesa ye mbote.
11 And Samuel saide, What hast thou done? Then Saul saide, Because I sawe that the people was scattred from me, and that thou camest not within the daies appoynted, and that the Philistims gathered themselues together to Michmash,
Samuele atunaki ye: — Osali penza nini? Saulo azongisaki: — Tango namonaki ete bato babandi kopalangana mosika na ngai, mpe ete yo oyei te na ngonga oyo ekatamaki, mpe ete bato ya Filisitia bazali kosangana na Mikimasi,
12 Therefore said I, The Philistims will come downe nowe vpon me to Gilgal, and I haue not made supplication vnto the Lord. I was bolde therefore and offred a burnt offring.
namilobelaki: « Sik’oyo, bato ya Filisitia bazali koya kobundisa ngai na Giligali, kasi ngai nabondeli Yawe te! » Yango wana, nazwaki mokano ya kobonza mbeka ya kotumba.
13 And Samuel saide to Saul, Thou hast done foolishly: thou hast not kept the commandement of the Lord thy God, which he commanded thee: for the Lord had nowe stablished thy kingdome vpon Israel for euer.
Samuele alobaki na Saulo: — Osali lokola moto ya liboma! Obateli te mitindo oyo Yawe, Nzambe na yo, apesaki yo. Soki obatelaki yango, alingaki kolendisa bokonzi na yo kati na Isalaele mpo na libela.
14 But nowe thy kingdom shall not continue: the Lord hath sought him a man after his owne heart, and the Lord hath commanded him to be gouernour ouer his people, because thou hast not kept that which the Lord had commanded thee.
Kasi sik’oyo, bokonzi na yo ekowumela lisusu te. Yawe aluki moto mosusu oyo asepelisaka motema na Ye mpe atie ye mokambi ya bato na Ye, pamba te yo, obateli mibeko ya Yawe te.
15 And Samuel arose, and gate him vp from Gilgal in Gibeah of Beniamin: and Saul nombred the people that were found with him, about sixe hundreth men.
Bongo Samuele alongwaki na Giligali mpe akendeki na Gibea ya Benjame. Mpe Saulo atangaki bato oyo bazalaki elongo na ye: bazalaki bato pene nkama motoba.
16 And Saul and Ionathan his sonne, and the people that were found with them, had their abiding in Gibeah of Beniamin: but the Philistims pitched in Michmash.
Saulo mpe Jonatan, mwana na ye ya mobali, mpe mibali nyonso oyo bazalaki kovanda elongo na bango batandamaki mpo na bitumba, na Geba ya Benjame. Kasi bato ya Filisitia batongaki ya bango molako na Mikimasi.
17 And there came out of the hoste of the Philistims three bandes to destroie, one bande turned vnto the way of Ophrah vnto the lande of Shual,
Longwa na molako ya bato ya Filisitia, mampinga ya basoda ya mpiko ebimaki mpe ekabwanaki na masanga misato: lisanga ya liboso ezwaki nzela oyo ekenda kino na Ofira, na mokili ya Shuwali;
18 And another bad turned toward the way to Beth-horon, and the third band turned toward the way of the coast that looketh toward the valley of Zeboim, towarde the wildernesse.
lisanga ya mibale etalisaki na nzela ya Beti-Oroni; mpe lisanga ya misato ezwaki nzela oyo ekenda na mondelo ya Lubwaku ya Tseboyimi, na ngambo ya esobe.
19 Then there was no smith founde throughout all the land of Israel: for the Philistims sayde, Lest the Ebrewes make them swordes or speares.
Nzokande, na tango wana, batuli bibende bazalaki lisusu te kati na mokili mobimba ya Isalaele, pamba te bato ya Filisitia balobaki: « Ba-Ebre bakoki kosala te, ezala makonga to matolotolo. »
20 Wherefore all ye Israelites went downe to the Philistims, to sharpen euery man his share, his mattocke, and his axe, and his weeding hooke.
Yango wana, bato nyonso ya Isalaele bazalaki kokende epai ya bato ya Filisitia mpo na kotia minu na basonge ya bibende oyo bangombe etimolaka na yango mabele, na bapiki, na bipasola mpe na bapawu.
21 Yet they had a file for the shares, and for the mattockes, and for the picke forkes, and for the axes, and for to sharpen the goades.
Bongo mpo na kotia minu yango na bapawu, na bapiki mpe na bipasola, bazalaki kofuta bagrame mwambe ya mbongo ya bibende.
22 So whe the day of battell was come, there was neither sworde nor speare founde in the handes of any of the people that were with Saul and with Ionathan: but onely with Saul and Ionathan his sonne was there founde.
Boye, na mokolo ya bitumba, soda ata moko te oyo azalaki elongo na Saulo mpe na Jonatan azalaki na mopanga to na likonga na loboko na ye; kaka Saulo mpe Jonatan, mwana na ye ya mobali, nde bazalaki na yango.
23 And the garison of the Philistims came out to the passage of Michmash.
Limpinga moko ya basoda ya Filisitia eyaki kotelema na kati-kati ya lubwaku ya Mikimasi.
