1 Samuel 6
1 So the Arke of the Lord was in the countrey of the Philistims seuen moneths.
Sima na Sanduku ya Yawe kosala sanza sambo kati na mokili ya bato ya Filisitia,
2 And the Philistims called the priests and the soothsayers, saying, What shall we doe with the Arke of the Lord? tell vs wherewith we shall send it home againe.
bato ya Filisitia babengisaki Banganga-Nzambe mpe bato ya soloka, balobaki na bango: — Tosengeli kosala nini na Sanduku ya Yawe? Boyebisa biso ndenge nini tokoki kozongisa yango na esika na yango.
3 And they sayd, If you send away the Arke of the God of Israel, send it not away emptie, but giue vnto it a sinne offering: then shall ye be healed, and it shall be knowen to you, why his hand departeth not from you.
Bazongisaki: — Soki bolingi kozongisa Sanduku ya Nzambe ya Isalaele, bozongisa yango ya pamba te, kasi bozongisa yango elongo na bambeka mpo na masumu; bongo bokobika na bokono, mpe bokoyeba mpo na nini loboko na Yawe etikaki te konyokola bino.
4 Then sayd they, What shalbe the sinne offring, which we shall giue vnto it? And they answered, Fiue golden emerods and fiue golden mise, according to the number of the princes of the Philistims: for one plague was on you all, and on your princes.
Bato ya Filisitia batunaki: — Mbeka ya masumu ya lolenge nini tosengeli kobonzela Yawe? Bazongisaki: — Kolanda motango ya bakambi ya bato ya Filisitia, bobonzela Ye biloko mitano ya wolo, oyo ekotalisa bapota ya libumu, mpe bampuku mitano ya wolo; pamba te ezala bino to bakambi na bino, bokweyelaki kaka etumbu ya ndenge moko.
5 Wherefore ye shall make the similitudes of your emerods, and the similitudes of your mise that destroy the land: so ye shall giue glory vnto the God of Israel, that he may take his hand from you, and from your gods, and from your land.
Bosala bililingi oyo ekotalisa bapota na bino ya libumu, mpe oyo ekotalisa bampuku oyo ezali kobebisa mokili na bino; mpe bopesa nkembo na Nzambe ya Isalaele. Tango mosusu, akolongola loboko na Ye na likolo na bino, na likolo ya banzambe na bino, mpe na likolo ya mokili na bino.
6 Wherefore then should ye harden your hearts, as the Egyptians and Pharaoh hardened their hearts? when he wrought wonderfully among them, did they not let them goe, and they departed?
Tina nini kozala moto makasi lokola Faraon mpe bato ya Ejipito? Bokanisa ete sima na Nzambe konyokola bango, batikaki bana ya Isalaele kokende na nzela na bango.
7 Now therefore make a new cart, and take two milch kine, on whome there hath come no yoke: and tye the kine to the cart, and bring the calues home from them.
Boye bino, bosala sik’oyo shario moko ya sika; bozwa bangombe mibale ya basi oyo ezali komelisa mpe oyo nanu balatisi te ekangiseli na kingo. Bokangisa bangombe yango na shario, kasi bozongisa bana na yango na lopango.
8 Then take the Arke of the Lord, and set it vpon the cart, and put the iewels of gold which ye giue it for a sinne offering in a coffer by the side thereof, and send it away, that it may go.
Bokamata Sanduku ya Yawe mpe botia yango na likolo ya shario. Pembeni ya Sanduku ya Yawe, botia kati na mwa sanduku moko ya moke biloko ya wolo oyo bokobonzela Yawe lokola bambeka mpo na masumu. Sima, botika yango kokende.
9 And take heede, if it goe vp by the way of his owne coast to Beth-shemesh, it is he that did vs this great euill: but if not, we shall know then, that it is not his hand that smote vs, but it was a chance that happened vs.
Kasi bokotala yango malamu: soki Sanduku ya Yawe ezwi nzela ya Beti-Shemeshi mpo na kokende na mokili na yango, wana elakisi ete Yawe nde akweyiselaki biso pasi makasi yango; soki te, wana tokoyeba ete ezalaki na yango loboko na Yawe te, kasi oyo ekomelaki biso ezalaki na yango kaka libaku.
10 And the men did so: for they tooke two kine that gaue milke, and tied them to the cart, and shut the calues at home.
Bato ya Filisitia basalaki ndenge bayebisaki bango: bazwaki bangombe mibale ya basi oyo ezalaki komelisa mpe bakangisaki yango na shario. Kasi bazongisaki bana na yango na lopango.
11 So they set the Arke of the Lord vpon the cart, and the coffer with the mise of golde, and with the similitudes of their emerods.
Batiaki Sanduku ya Yawe na likolo ya shario; bongo na pembeni na yango, batiaki mwa sanduku oyo ya moke, oyo kati na yango ezalaki na bampuku ya wolo mpe bililingi ya bapota na bango ya libumu.
12 And the kine went the streight way to Beth-shemesh, and kept one path and lowed as they went, and turned neither to the right hand nor to the left: also the Princes of the Philistims went after them, vnto the borders of Beth-shemesh.
Bangombe yango ya basi ekendeki mbala moko na nzela ya Beti-Shemeshi, elandaki kaka nzela yango mpe, nzela-nzela, ezalaki kolela; ebalukaki te ezala na ngambo ya loboko ya mwasi to na ngambo ya loboko ya mobali. Nzokande bakambi ya bato ya Filisitia balandaki yango na mosika kino na mondelo ya Beti-Shemeshi.
13 Nowe they of Beth-shemesh were reaping their wheate haruest in the valley, and they lift vp their eyes, and spied the Arke, and reioyced when they sawe it.
Na eleko yango, bato ya Beti-Shemeshi bazalaki kobuka ble, na lubwaku. Bongo tango batombolaki miso mpe bamonaki Sanduku, basepelaki makasi.
14 And the cart came into the fielde of Ioshua a Beth-shemite, and stood still there. There was also a great stone, and they claue the wood of the cart, and offered the kine for a burnt offring vnto the Lord.
Shario ekomaki na elanga ya Jozue, moto ya Beti-Shemeshi, mpe etelemaki wana, pembeni ya libanga monene. Bato babukaki mabaya ya sanduku mpe babonzaki bangombe ya basi lokola mbeka ya kotumba mpo na Yawe.
15 And the Leuites tooke downe the Arke of the Lord, and the coffer that was with it, wherein the iewels of golde were, and put them on the great stone, and the men of Beth-shemesh offred burnt offring, and sacrificed sacrifices that same day vnto the Lord.
Balevi bakitisaki Sanduku ya Yawe elongo na mwa sanduku ya moke oyo kati na yango ezalaki na biloko ya wolo, mpe batiaki yango na likolo ya libanga monene. Na mokolo wana, bato ya Beti-Shemeshi babonzaki bambeka ya kotumba mpe makabo epai na Yawe.
16 And when the fiue Princes of ye Philistims had seene it, they returned to Ekron the same day.
Bakambi yango mitano ya bato ya Filisitia bamonaki makambo nyonso wana mpe bazongaki na Ekroni kaka mokolo wana.
17 So these are the golden emerods, which the Philistims gaue for a sinne offering to the Lord: for Ashdod one, for Gaza one, for Askelon one, for Gath one, and for Ekron one,
Tala bililingi ya wolo ya bapota ya libumu oyo bato ya Filisitia babonzelaki Yawe lokola bambeka mpo na masumu: moko mpo na Asidodi, moko mpo na Gaza, moko mpo na Ashikeloni, moko mpo na Gati, moko mpo na Ekroni.
18 And golden mise, according to the number of all the cities of the Philistims, belonging to the fiue princes, both of walled townes, and of townes vnwalled, vnto the great stone of Abel, whereon they set the Arke of the Lord: which stone remaineth vnto this day in the fielde of Ioshua the Beth-shemite.
Ezalaki mpe na bampuku ya wolo, kolanda motango ya bingumba ya bato ya Filisitia, oyo bakambi mitano oyo bazalaki koyangela: kobanda na bingumba batonga makasi, bamboka na yango ya mike kino na libanga ya monene oyo, na likolo na yango, batiaki Sanduku ya Yawe mpe oyo, kino na mokolo ya lelo, ezali na elanga ya Jozue, moto ya Beti-Shemeshi.
19 And hee smote of the men of Beth-shemesh, because they had looked in the Arke of the Lord: he slew euen among the people fiftie thousand men and three score and ten men. and the people lamented, because the Lord had slaine the people with so great a slaughter.
Kasi Nzambe abomaki bato ya Beti-Shemeshi mpo ete batalaki Sanduku ya Yawe: kati na bato nkoto tuku mitano, abomaki tuku sambo. Bato ya Beti-Shemeshi basalaki matanga mpo ete Yawe apesaki bango etumbu ya makasi.
20 Wherefore the men of Beth-shemesh said, Who is able to stand before this holy Lord God? and to whom shall he go from vs?
Bato ya Beti-Shemeshi balobaki: « Nani akoki kotelema liboso ya Yawe, Nzambe oyo ya bule? Sanduku ekokende epai ya nani soki elongwe awa epai na biso? »
21 And they sent messengers to the inhabitans of Kiriath-iearim, saying, The Philistims haue brought againe the Arke of the Lord: come ye downe and take it vp to you.
Bongo batindaki bantoma koloba na bato ya Kiriati-Yearimi: « Bato ya Filisitia bazongisi Sanduku ya Yawe; boya kozwa yango mpe bomema yango epai na bino. »
