1 Samuel 23
1 Then they tolde Dauid, saying, Beholde, the Philistims fight against Keilah, and spoyle the barnes.
Tango bayebisaki Davidi ete bato ya Filisitia bazali kobundisa engumba Keila mpe bazali kozwa na makasi ble na bilanga na yango,
2 Therfore Dauid asked counsel of the Lord, saying, Shal I goe and smite these Philistims? And the Lord answered Dauid, Go and smite the Philistims, and saue Keilah.
Davidi atunaki Yawe, alobaki: — Nakoki na ngai kokende kobundisa bato oyo ya Filisitia? Yawe azongiselaki ye: — Kende, bundisa bato ya Filisitia mpe bikisa engumba Keila.
3 And Dauids men said vnto him, See, we be afrayde here in Iudah, howe much more if we come to Keilah against the hoste of ye Philistims?
Kasi basoda ya Davidi bayebisaki ye: — Soki awa kati na Yuda, tozali kobanga, ekozala boni soki tokeyi na Keila kobundisa bato ya Filisitia?
4 Then Dauid asked counsell of the Lord againe. And the Lord answered him, and sayd, Arise, go downe to Keilah: for I wil deliuer the Philistims into thine hand.
Davidi atunaki lisusu Yawe, mpe Yawe azongiselaki ye: — Telema, kende na Keila, pamba te nazali kokaba bato ya Filisitia na maboko na yo.
5 So Dauid and his men went to Keilah, and fought with the Philistims, and brought away their cattel, and smote them with a great slaughter: thus Dauid saued the inhabitants of Keilah.
Boye Davidi elongo na basoda na ye bakendeki na engumba Keila mpe babundisaki bato ya Filisitia, babotolaki biloko mpe bibwele na bango. Davidi abetaki makasi bato ya Filisitia, mpe, na bongo, abikisaki bato ya Keila.
6 (And when Abiathar the sonne of Ahimelech fled to Dauid to Keilah, he brought an Ephod with him)
Nzokande, tango Abiatari, mwana mobali ya Ayimeleki, akimaki epai ya Davidi, na engumba Keila, amemaki elongo na ye efode oyo basalelaka mpo na kotuna Yawe makambo.
7 And it was tolde Saul that Dauid was come to Keilah, and Saul sayd, God hath deliuered him into mine hand: for he is shut in, seeing he is come into a citie that hath gates and barres.
Tango bayebisaki Saulo ete Davidi akomi na Keila, Saulo alobaki: « Nzambe akabi ye na maboko na ngai, pamba te lokola Davidi akoti na engumba oyo ezali na bikuke mpe bikangelo, amikotisi ye moko na boloko. »
8 Then Saul called all the people together to warre, for to go downe to Keilah, and to besiege Dauid and his men.
Saulo asangisaki mampinga na ye nyonso mpo na bitumba, mpo ete bakende na Keila kozingela Davidi elongo na bato na ye.
9 And Dauid hauing knowledge that Saul imagined mischiefe against him, saide to Abiathar the Priest, Bring the Ephod.
Tango Davidi ayokaki sango ya mabe oyo Saulo azali kobongisa mpo na ye, alobaki na Nganga-Nzambe Abiatari ete amema efode oyo basalelaka mpo na kotuna Yawe makambo.
10 Then sayde Dauid, O Lord God of Israel, thy seruat hath heard, that Saul is about to come to Keilah to destroy the citie for my sake.
Davidi alobaki: — Oh Yawe, Nzambe ya Isalaele, mosali na Yo ayoki malamu ete Saulo azali komibongisa mpo na koya na Keila, mpo na kobebisa engumba likolo na ngai.
11 Wil the lordes of Keilah deliuer me vp into his hand? and will Saul come downe, as thy seruant hath heard? O Lord God of Israel, I beseech thee, tell thy seruant. And the Lord sayde, He will come downe.
Boni, bakambi ya Keila bakokaba ngai penza na maboko na ye? Saulo akoya solo ndenge mosali na Yo ayoki yango? Oh Yawe, Nzambe ya Isalaele, yebisa mosali na yo. Yawe alobaki: — Iyo, akoya penza.
12 Then said Dauid, Will the lords of Keilah deliuer me vp, and the men that are with me, into the hand of Saul? And the Lord sayde, They will deliuer thee vp.
Davidi atunaki lisusu: — Bakambi ya Keila bakokaba penza ngai mpe bato na ngai na maboko ya bato ya Saulo? Yawe alobaki: — Iyo, bakokaba yo.
13 Then Dauid and his men, which were about sixe hundreth, arose, and departed out of Keilah, and went whither they coulde. And it was tolde Saul, that Dauid was fled from Keilah, and he left off his iourney.
Boye, Davidi mpe bato na ye pene nkama motoba balongwaki na engumba Keila mpe batambolaki bipai na bipai. Tango bayebisaki Saulo ete Davidi alongwaki na Keila, Saulo akendeki lisusu kuna te.
14 And Dauid abode in the wildernesse in holdes, and remayned in a mountaine in the wildernes of Ziph. And Saul sought him euery day, but God deliuered him not into his hand.
Davidi avandaki na bisambelo ya likolo ya bangomba kati na esobe, mpe avandaki na likolo ya ngomba kati na esobe ya Zifi. Saulo alukaki ye mikolo nyonso, kasi Nzambe akabaki Davidi te na maboko na ye.
15 And Dauid sawe that Saul was come out for to seeke his life: and Dauid was in the wildernes of Ziph in the wood.
Wana Davidi azalaki na Oreshi kati na esobe ya Zifi, ayokaki ete Saulo abimaki mpo na koluka koboma ye.
16 And Ionathan Sauls sonne arose and went to Dauid into the wood, and comforted him in God,
Jonatan, mwana mobali ya Saulo, akendeki na Oreshi epai ya Davidi mpo na kolendisa ye na Kombo ya Nzambe.
17 And said vnto him, Feare not: for the hand of Saul my father shall not finde thee, and thou shalt be King ouer Israel, and I shalbe next vnto thee: and also Saul my father knoweth it.
Alobaki na ye: « Kobanga te! Loboko ya tata na ngai, Saulo, ekozwa yo te. Okozala mokonzi ya Isalaele, mpe ngai nakozala molandi na yo; ezala tata na ngai, Saulo, ayebi yango. »
18 So they twaine made a couenant before ye Lord: and Dauid did remaine in the wood: but Ionathan went to his house.
Bango mibale basalaki boyokani liboso ya Yawe. Jonatan azongaki epai na ye, mpe Davidi atikalaki na Oreshi.
19 Then came vp the Ziphims to Saul to Gibeah, saying, Doeth not Dauid hide himselfe by vs in holdes, in the wood in the hill of Hachilah, which is on the right side of Ieshimon?
Bato ya Zifi bakendeki na Gibea epai ya Saulo mpe balobaki na ye: — Boni, Davidi abombami te kati na biso, na bisambelo ya likolo ya bangomba ya Oreshi, kati na esobe, na likolo ya ngomba moke ya Akila oyo ezali na ngambo ya sude ya Yeshimoni?
20 Nowe therefore, O King, come downe according to all that thine heart can desire, and our part shall be to deliuer him into the Kinges handes.
Sik’oyo, oh mokonzi, tango nyonso okosepela kokita, kita na yo; mpe biso moko tozwi mokumba ya kokaba ye na maboko ya mokonzi.
21 Then Saul said, Be ye blessed of the Lord: for ye haue had compassion on mee.
Saulo azongisaki: — Tika ete Yawe apambola bino mpo na mawa na bino epai na ngai!
22 Goe, I pray you, and prepare ye yet better: know and see his place where he haunteth, and who hath seene him there: for it is sayd to me, He is subtile, and craftie.
Bokende, botala lisusu malamu, bononga mpe boluka koyeba esika nini Davidi akendaka mikolo nyonso mpe nani amonaki ye kuna; pamba te bayebisaka ngai ete azali na mayele mabe makasi.
23 See therefore and know all the secret places where he hideth himselfe, and come ye againe to me with the certaintie, and I will goe with you: and if he be in the lande, I will searche him out throughout all the thousands of Iudah.
Botala mpe boyeba bisika nyonso epai wapi abombamaka, mpe bozongela ngai mpo na koyebisa ngai makambo nyonso ndenge yango ezali. Bongo na sima, soki azali kati na mboka, ngai nakokende elongo na bino mpe nakolukisa ye kati na bituka nyonso ya Yuda.
24 Then they arose and went to Ziph before Saul, but Dauid and his men were in the wildernesse of Maon, in the playne on the right hande of Ieshimon.
Boye, batelemaki mpe bakendeki na Zifi liboso na Saulo. Nzokande Davidi elongo na bato na ye bazalaki kati na esobe ya Maoni, na etando ya Araba, na ngambo ya sude ya Yeshimoni.
25 Saul also and his men went to seeke him, and they told Dauid: wherefore he came downe vnto a rocke, and abode in the wildernesse of Maon. And when Saul heard that, he folowed after Dauid in the wildernes of Maon.
Saulo elongo na bato na ye bakomaki koluka Davidi. Tango bayebisaki Davidi ete bazali koluka ye, akitaki kati na libanga monene mpe avandaki kati na esobe ya Maoni. Mpe tango Saulo ayokaki bongo, akotaki kati na esobe yango ya Moani mpo na kolanda Davidi.
26 And Saul and his men went on the one side of the mountaine, and Dauid and his men on the other side of the mountaine: and Dauid made haste to get from the presence of Saul: for Saul and his men compassed Dauid and his men round about, to take them.
Saulo azalaki kotambola na ngambo moko ya ngomba, bongo Davidi mpe bato na ye bazalaki kotambola na ngambo mosusu mpe kokima mbangu mosika na Saulo. Lokola Saulo mpe mampinga na ye bazalaki koluka kozingela Davidi mpe bato na ye mpo na kokanga bango,
27 But there came a messenger to Saul, saying, Haste thee, and come: for the Philistims haue inuaded the land.
momemi sango moko ayaki epai ya Saulo mpe alobaki na ye: « Yaka noki! Bato ya Filisitia bakoti na mokili. »
28 Wherefore Saul returned from pursuing Dauid, and went against the Philistims. Therefore they called that place, Sela-hammahlekoth.
Mbala moko, Saulo atikaki kolanda Davidi mpo na kokende kokutana na bato ya Filisitia. Yango wana babengaka esika yango « Sela-Amalekoti » oyo elakisi « Libanga ya bokabwani. »
29 And Dauid went thence, and dwelt in holdes at En-gedi.
Davidi alongwaki wana mpe akendeki kovanda na ebombamelo kati na mabanga ya Eyini-Gedi.
