< 1 Samuel 20 >
1 And Dauid fled from Naioth in Ramah, and came and sayd before Ionathan, What haue I done? what is mine iniquitie? and what sinne haue I committed before thy father, that he seeketh my life?
Davidi akimaki wuta na Nayoti ya Rama mpe akendeki epai ya Jonatan. Atunaki ye: — Nasali nini? Mabe nini nasali? Lisumu nini nasali liboso ya tata na yo mpo ete aluka koboma ngai?
2 And he sayde vnto him, God forbid, thou shalt not die: beholde, my father will do nothing great nor small, but he will shewe it me: and why should my father hide this thing from me? he will not doe it.
Jonatan azongisaki: — Te, Ekosalema te! Okokufa te! Tala, tata na ngai asalaka eloko moko te, ezala ya moke to ya monene, soki ayebisi ngai te. Mpo na nini tata na ngai abombela ngai kaka likambo oyo? Ezali bongo te.
3 And Dauid sware againe and sayd, Thy father knoweth that I haue found grace in thine eyes: therefore he thinketh, Ionathan shall not knowe it, lest he be sorie: but in deede, as the Lord liueth, and as thy soule liueth, there is but a step betweene me and death.
Kasi Davidi alapaki ndayi na koloba: « Tata na yo ayebi malamu ete nazwaki ngolu na miso na yo, mpe amilobelaki: ‹ Tika ete Jonatan ayeba makambo oyo te, noki te akoyoka pasi na motema! › Nzokande, na Kombo na Yawe mpe na kombo na yo moko, etikali kaka moke ete baboma ngai. »
4 Then said Ionathan vnto Dauid, Whatsoeuer thy soule requireth, that I wil do vnto thee.
Jonatan alobaki na Davidi: — Nakosala nyonso oyo okolinga ete ngai nasala mpo na yo.
5 And Dauid said vnto Ionathan, Behold, to morowe is the first day of the moneth, and I shoulde sit with the King at meate: but let me goe, that I may hide my selfe in the fieldes vnto the third day at euen.
Davidi azongiselaki Jonatan: — Lobi ekozala mokolo ya feti ya Sanza ya Sika; nasengelaki kovanda mesa moko na mokonzi mpo na kolia. Pesa ngai nzela ete nakende kobombama na bilanga kino na pokwa ya mokolo ya misato.
6 If thy father make mention of me, then say, Dauid asked leaue of me, that he might goe to Beth-lehem to his owne citie: for there is a yeerely sacrifice for all that familie.
Soki tata na yo amitungisi mpo na kozanga na ngai komonana, okoloba na ye: « Davidi atungisaki ngai ete napesa ye nzela ya kokende noki na engumba na ye, Beteleemi, pamba te etuka mobimba ekosepela kuna mbeka oyo babonzaka mibu nyonso. »
7 And if he say thus, It is well, thy seruant shall haue peace: but if he be angrie, be sure that wickednesse is concluded of him.
Soki alobi: « Malamu, » wana mosali na yo akozala na kimia. Kasi soki atomboki na kanda, wana yeba malamu ete azwi mokano ya kosala ngai mabe.
8 So shalt thou shew mercy vnto thy seruant: for thou hast ioyned thy seruant into a couenant of the Lord with thee, and if there be in me iniquitie, slay thou me: for why shouldest thou bring me to thy father?
Boye, salela mosali na yo bolamu, pamba te okotisaki ye na boyokani elongo na yo liboso ya Yawe. Soki nasalaki mabe na likambo songolo, yo moko boma ngai! Mpo na nini kokaba ngai na maboko ya tata na yo?
9 And Ionathan answered, God keepe that from thee: for if I knewe that wickednesse were concluded of my father to come vpon thee, would not I tell it thee?
Jonatan alobaki: — Te! Ekozala penza likambo ya nkele soki ngai nakoki koyeba ete tata na ngai azwi mokano ya kosala yo mabe, bongo nayebisi yo yango te!
10 Then said Dauid to Ionathan, Who shall tell me? how shall I knowe, if thy father answere thee cruelly?
Davidi atunaki Jonatan: — Bongo soki tata na yo akozongisela yo eyano na kanda, nani akoyebisa ngai?
11 And Ionathan sayde to Dauid, Come and let vs goe out into the fielde: and they twaine went out into the fielde.
Jonatan azongiselaki Davidi: — Yaka, tokende na zamba! Boye, bango mibale bakendeki nzela moko na zamba.
12 Then Ionathan sayde to Dauid, O Lord God of Israel, when I haue groped my fathers minde to morow at this time, or within this three dayes, and if it be well with Dauid, and I then send not vnto thee, and shewe it thee,
Jonatan alobaki na Davidi: « Na Kombo na Yawe, Nzambe ya Isalaele, lobi to sima na lobi, na ngonga oyo, nakoluka koyeba makanisi ya tata na ngai mpo na yo. Soki ezali malamu, bongo natindi moto te mpo na koyebisa yo yango,
13 The Lord doe so and much more vnto Ionathan: but if my father haue minde to doe thee euill, I will shew thee also, and sende thee away, that thou mayest goe in peace: and the Lord be with thee as he hath bene with my father.
wana tika ete Yawe asala na ngai Jonatan nyonso oyo ekozala malamu na miso na Ye! Kasi soki tata na ngai azali na makanisi ya kosala yo mabe, ngai nakoyebisa yo mpe nakotika yo kokende mpo ete okende na yo na kimia. Tika ete Yawe azala elongo na yo ndenge azalaki elongo na tata na ngai!
14 Likewise I require not whiles I liue: for I dout not but thou wilt shew me the mercy of the Lord, that I die not.
Sima na mikolo, soki nakozala nanu na bomoi, salela ngai bolamu lokola bolamu ya Yawe mpo ete baboma ngai te.
15 But I require that thou cut not off thy mercie from mine house for euer: no, not when the Lord hath destroyed the enemies of Dauid, euery one from the earth.
Mpe kolemba te kosalela libota na ngai bolamu, ata tango Yawe akolongola banguna nyonso ya Davidi, na etando ya mokili. »
16 So Ionathan made a bond with the house of Dauid, saying, Let the Lord require it at the hands of Dauids enemies.
Boye Jonatan asalaki boyokani elongo na libota ya Davidi na maloba oyo: « Tika ete Yawe azongisa mabe na mabe na banguna ya Davidi! »
17 And againe Ionathan sware vnto Dauid, because he loued him (for he loued him as his owne soule)
Mpe Jonatan asengaki ete Davidi alapa lisusu ndayi na ye na kombo ya bolingo na ye Davidi epai ya Jonatan, pamba te azalaki kolinga ye ndenge ye moko amilingaka.
18 Then said Ionathan to him, To morowe is the first day of the moneth: and thou shalt be looked for, for thy place shalbe emptie.
Bongo Jonatan alobaki na Davidi: — Lobi ekozala mokolo ya feti ya Sanza ya Sika; bato bakomitungisa mpo na yo mpo ete okozala te, mpe bakomona ete esika na yo ekozala pamba.
19 Therefore thou shalt hide thy selfe three dayes, then thou shalt goe downe quickely and come to the place where thou diddest hide thy selfe, when this matter was in hand, and shalt remayne by the stone Ezel.
Sima na lobi, na pokwa, okokende kino na esika epai wapi obombamaki tango likambo oyo ebandaki mpe okovanda pembeni ya libanga Ezeli.
20 And I will shoote three arrowes on the side thereof, as though I shot at a marke.
Ngai nakobwaka makonga misato na ngambo moko ya libanga yango lokola nde nazali kobwaka na elembo moko.
21 And after I wil sende a boy, saying, Goe, seeke the arrowes. If I say vnto the boy, See, the arrowes are on this side thee, bring them, and come thou: for it is well with thee and no hurt, as the Lord liueth.
Bongo nakotinda elenge mobali moko kokende koluka makonga yango. Soki nalobi na ye: « Tala, makonga ezali pembeni na yo, lokota mpe yaka na yango awa, » wana nalingi koloba: « Na Kombo na Yawe, yaka mpo ete ozali na kimia, likambo ezali te. »
22 But if I say thus vnto the boy, Behold, the arrowes are beyonde thee, goe thy way: for the Lord hath sent thee away.
Kasi soki nalobi na elenge mobali: « Tala, makonga ezali mosika na yo; » wana nalingi koloba: « Kima na yo, pamba te Yawe akimisi yo. »
23 As touching the thing which thou and I haue spoken of, beholde, the Lord be betweene thee and me for euer.
Bongo mpo na liloba oyo tosololaki ngai na yo, yeba ete Yawe azali Motatoli kati na ngai mpe yo mpo na libela.
24 So Dauid hid him selfe in the field: and when the first day of the moneth came, the King sate to eate meate.
Davidi abombamaki kati na zamba. Bongo na tango ya feti ya Sanza ya Sika, mokonzi avandaki na mesa mpo na kolia.
25 And the King sate, as at other times vpon his seate, euen vpon his seate by the wall: and Ionathan arose, and Abner sate by Sauls side, but Dauids place was emptie.
Mokonzi avandaki lokola momesano na esika na ye pembeni ya mir. Jonatan atelemaki, mpe Abineri avandaki pembeni ya Saulo, kasi esika ya Davidi ezalaki polele.
26 And Saul sayde nothing that day: for hee thought, Some thing hath befallen him, though he were cleane, or els becaus he was not purified.
Saulo alobaki eloko moko te na mokolo wana, pamba te akanisaki kaka ete eloko moko esalemi epai ya Davidi oyo ekomisi ye mbindo.
27 But on the morowe which was the second day of the moneth, Dauids place was emptie againe: and Saul sayde vnto Ionathan his sonne, Wherefore commeth not the sonne of Ishai to meate, neither yesterday nor to day?
Kasi mokolo oyo elandaki, mokolo ya mibale ya feti ya Sanza ya Sika, lokola esika ya Davidi ezalaki lisusu polele, Saulo alobaki na mwana na ye ya mobali, Jonatan: — Mpo na nini mwana mobali ya Izayi ayei te mpo na kolia, ezala lobi oyo eleki to lelo?
28 And Ionathan answered vnto Saul, Dauid required of me, that he might goe to Beth-lehem.
Jonatan azongiselaki Saulo: — Davidi atungisaki ngai ete napesa ye nzela ya kokende noki na Beteleemi.
29 For he sayde, Let me goe, I pray thee: for our familie offreth a sacrifice in the citie, and my brother hath sent for me: therfore now if I haue found fauour in thine eyes, let me goe, I pray thee, and see my brethren: this is the cause that he commeth not vnto the Kings table.
Alobaki: « Pesa ngai nzela ya kokende mpo ete etuka na ngai esengeli kobonza mbeka kati na engumba, mpe ndeko na ngai ya mobali abengisi ngai mpo ete nazala kuna. Soki nazwi ngolu na miso na yo, tika ngai kokende kotala bandeko na ngai. » Yango wana ayei te na mesa ya mokonzi.
30 Then was Saul angrie with Ionathan, and sayde vnto him, Thou sonne of the wicked rebellious woman, doe not I know, that thou hast chosen the sonne of Ishai to thy confusion, and to the confusion and shame of thy mother?
Saulo asilikelaki makasi Jonatan mpe alobaki na ye: — Yo mwana mobali ya mwasi ya yawuli mpe motomboki, nayebi solo ete okoteli mwana mobali ya Izayi; kasi ezali mpo na soni na yo mpe ya mama oyo abota yo.
31 For as long as the sonne of Ishai liueth vpon the earth, thou shalt not be stablished, nor thy kingdome: wherefore now send and fet him vnto me, for he shall surely die.
Pamba te tango nyonso mwana mobali ya Izayi akozala na bomoi kati na mokili oyo, ezala yo to bokonzi na yo, bokozala na kimia te. Sik’oyo, lukisa ye mpe memela ngai ye, pamba te asengeli kokufa.
32 And Ionathan answered vnto Saul his father, and said vnto him, Wherefore shall he die? what hath he done?
Jonatan atunaki Saulo, tata na ye: — Basengeli koboma ye mpo na nini? Asali nini?
33 And Saul cast a speare at him to hit him, whereby Ionathan knew, that it was determined of his father to slay Dauid.
Saulo abwakelaki Jonatan likonga na ye mpo na koboma ye, mpe Jonatan asosolaki ete tata na ye azali na makanisi ya koboma Davidi.
34 So Ionathan arose from the table in a great anger, and did eate no meate the seconde day of the moneth: for he was sorie for Dauid, and because his father had reuiled him.
Jonatan alongwaki na mesa na kanda makasi mpe atikalaki kolia te na mokolo oyo ya mibale ya feti ya Sanza ya Sika, pamba te ayokaki pasi na motema na ndenge tata na ye afingaki Davidi.
35 On the next morning therefore Ionathan than went out into the fielde, at the time appoynted with Dauid, and a litle boy with him.
Na tongo ya mokolo oyo elandaki, Jonatan akendeki na zamba kokutana na Davidi. Azalaki elongo na elenge mobali moko.
36 And he saide vnto his boy, Runne now, seeke the arrowes which I shoote, and as the boy ran, he shot an arrowe beyond him.
Alobaki na elenge mobali: « Kima mbangu mpe lokota makonga oyo nazali kobwaka. » Tango elenge mobali azalaki kokima mbangu, Jonatan abwakaki likonga liboso na ye.
37 And when the boy was come to the place where the arrowe was that Ionathan had shot, Ionathan cryed after the boy, and sayde, Is not the arrowe beyond thee?
Mpe tango elenge mobali akomaki na esika oyo likonga ya Jonatan ekweyaki, Jonatan alobaki na ye na mongongo makasi: « Boni, likonga ezali liboso na yo te? »
38 And Ionathan cryed after the boy, Make speede, haste and stand not still: and Ionathans boy gathered vp the arrowes, and came to his master,
Bongo Jonatan agangaki lisusu: « Sala noki! Kima mbangu, kotelema te! » Elenge mobali alokotaki likonga mpe azongaki epai ya nkolo na ye.
39 But the boy knewe nothing: onely Ionathan and Dauid knew the matter.
Elenge mobali ayebaki ata eloko moko te na makambo oyo nyonso; kaka Jonatan mpe Davidi nde bayebaki.
40 Then Ionathan gaue his bowe and arrowes vnto the boy that was with him, and sayd vnto him, Goe, carrie them into the citie.
Bongo Jonatan apesaki bibundeli na ye epai ya elenge mobali mpe alobaki: « Kende kozongisa yango na engumba. »
41 Assoone as the boy was gone, Dauid arose out of a place that was towarde the South, and fel on his face to the ground, and bowed him selfe three times: and they kissed one another, and wept both twaine, till Dauid exceeded.
Sima na elenge mobali kozonga, Davidi abimaki na ngambo ya sude ya libanga mpe agumbamaki mbala misato liboso ya Jonatan, elongi etala na se. Bayambanaki mpe balelaki elongo, kasi Davidi alelaki mingi koleka.
42 Therefore Ionathan said to Dauid, Goe in peace: that which we haue sworne both of vs in the Name of the Lord, saying, The Lord be betweene me and thee, and betweene my seede and betweene thy seede, let it stand for euer. And he arose and departed, and Ionathan went into the citie.
Jonatan alobaki na Davidi: « Kende na kimia, pamba te biso mibale tolapanaki ndayi na Kombo na Yawe na koloba: ‹ Yawe azali Motatoli kati na yo mpe ngai, mpe kati ya bakitani na yo mpe bakitani na ngai mpo na libela. › » Bongo Davidi akendeki, mpe Jonatan azongaki na engumba.
