1 Samuel 15
1 And Samuel said unto Saul: 'The LORD sent me to anoint thee to be king over His people, over Israel; now therefore hearken thou unto the voice of the words of the LORD.
Samuele alobaki na Saulo: « Yawe atindaki ngai kopakola yo mafuta mpo ete okoma mokonzi ya bato na Ye, Isalaele. Boye, yoka sik’oyo makambo oyo ewuti epai na Yawe.
2 Thus saith the LORD of hosts: I remember that which Amalek did to Israel, how he set himself against him in the way, when he came up out of Egypt.
Tala makambo oyo Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, alobi: ‹ Nakopesa bato ya Amaleki etumbu mpo na makambo oyo basalaki Isalaele tango bawutaki na Ejipito: bakangelaki Isalaele nzela.
3 Now go and smite Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have, and spare them not; but slay both man and woman, infant and suckling, ox and sheep, camel and ass.'
Kende sik’oyo, bundisa bato ya Amaleki mpe bebisa penza biloko na bango nyonso. Kobatela bango te; boma mibali mpe basi, bana mpe babebe, bangombe, bantaba mpe bameme, bashamo mpe ba-ane. › »
4 And Saul summoned the people, and numbered them in Telaim, two hundred thousand footmen, and ten thousand men of Judah.
Boye Saulo abengisaki basoda, mpe atangaki bango na Telayimi: basoda oyo babundaka na makolo, nkoto nkama mibale; mpe basoda oyo bawutaki na Yuda, nkoto zomi.
5 And Saul came to the city of Amalek, and lay in wait in the valley.
Saulo akendeki kino na engumba ya Amaleki mpe atiaki basoda na bisika ya kobombama, na lubwaku.
6 And Saul said unto the Kenites: 'Go, depart, get you down from among the Amalekites, lest I destroy you with them; for ye showed kindness to all the children of Israel, when they came up out of Egypt.' So the Kenites departed from among the Amalekites.
Bongo Saulo alobaki na bato ya Keni: « Bokende na bino, bolongwa na milongo ya bato ya Amaleki mpo ete nabebisa bino te elongo na bango, pamba te bosalelaki bato nyonso ya Isalaele bolamu tango babimaki na Ejipito. » Boye bato ya Keni balongwaki na milongo ya bato ya Amaleki.
7 And Saul smote the Amalekites, from Havilah as thou goest to Shur, that is in front of Egypt.
Saulo abundisaki bato ya Amaleki nzela mobimba, longwa na Avila kino na Shuri, na ngambo ya este ya Ejipito.
8 And he took Agag the king of the Amalekites alive, and utterly destroyed all the people with the edge of the sword.
Akangaki ya bomoi Agagi, mokonzi ya bato ya Amaleki, mpe abebisaki bato nyonso na mopanga.
9 But Saul and the people spared Agag, and the best of the sheep, and of the oxen, even the young of the second birth, and the lambs, and all that was good, and would not utterly destroy them; but every thing that was of no account and feeble, that they destroyed utterly.
Kasi Saulo mpe basoda babatelaki Agagi elongo na bibwele oyo elekaki kitoko kati na bameme, bantaba mpe bangombe, bibwele oyo eleki minene, bana meme oyo ya minene mpe nyonso oyo ezalaki malamu. Baboyaki kobebisa yango; babebisaki kaka oyo ezalaki ya mabe mpe ya kokonda.
10 Then came the word of the LORD unto Samuel, saying:
Yawe alobaki na Samuele:
11 'It repenteth Me that I have set up Saul to be king; for he is turned back from following Me, and hath not performed My commandments.' And it grieved Samuel; and he cried unto the LORD all night.
— Nabongoli makanisi na Ngai na ndenge nakomisaki Saulo mokonzi, pamba te apesi Ngai mokongo mpe aboyi kotosa mitindo na Ngai. Samuele asilikaki mpe abelelaki Yawe butu mobimba.
12 And Samuel rose early to meet Saul in the morning; and it was told Samuel, saying: 'Saul came to Carmel, and, behold, he is setting him up a monument, and is gone about, and passed on, and gone down to Gilgal.'
Na tongo-tongo, Samuele atelemaki mpo na kokende kokutana na Saulo. Kasi bayebisaki ye: « Saulo akei na Karimeli, atongi kuna ekeko mpo na ye moko, bongo alongwe kuna mpe akei kino na Giligali. »
13 And Samuel came to Saul; and Saul said unto him: 'Blessed be thou of the LORD; I have performed the commandment of the LORD.'
Samuele akendeki epai ya Saulo, mpe Saulo alobaki na ye: — Tika ete Yawe apambola yo! Natosaki mitindo ya Yawe.
14 And Samuel said: 'What meaneth then this bleating of the sheep in mine ears, and the lowing of the oxen which I hear?'
Kasi Samuele alobaki: — Makelele oyo nazali koyoka ezali te koganga ya bameme mpe ya bangombe?
15 And Saul said: 'They have brought them from the Amalekites; for the people spared the best of the sheep and of the oxen, to sacrifice unto the LORD thy God; and the rest we have utterly destroyed.'
Saulo azongisaki: — Basoda babotolaki yango na maboko ya bato ya Amaleki; babatelaki kati na bibwele bameme mpe bangombe oyo elekaki kitoko mpo ete babonza yango lokola mbeka epai na Yawe, Nzambe na biso; kasi nyonso wana mosusu, tobebisaki yango penza.
16 Then Samuel said unto Saul: 'Stay, and I will tell thee what the LORD hath said to me this night.' And he said unto him: 'Say on.'
Samuele alobaki na Saulo: — Kata! Tika ete nayebisa yo makambo oyo Yawe alobaki na ngai na butu oyo ewuti koleka. Saulo alobaki na ye: — Yebisa ngai yango!
17 And Samuel said: 'Though thou be little in thine own sight, art thou not head of the tribes of Israel? And the LORD anointed thee king over Israel;
Samuele alobaki: — Atako ozalaki komimona moto pamba na miso na yo moko, kasi boni, okomaki te mokonzi ya bikolo ya Isalaele? Yawe apakolaki yo mafuta mpo ete ozala mokonzi ya Isalaele.
18 and the LORD sent thee on a journey, and said: Go and utterly destroy the sinners the Amalekites, and fight against them until they be consumed.
Yawe apesaki yo etinda mpe alobaki: « Kende mpe bebisa penza bato oyo ya masumu, bato ya Amaleki; bundisa bango kino okosilisa koboma bango. »
19 Wherefore then didst thou not hearken to the voice of the LORD, but didst fly upon the spoil, and didst that which was evil in the sight of the LORD?'
Mpo na nini otosaki Yawe te? Mpo na nini owelaki kozwa bomengo ya bitumba, mpe osalaki mabe na miso ya Yawe?
20 And Saul said unto Samuel: 'Yea, I have hearkened to the voice of the LORD, and have gone the way which the LORD sent me, and have brought Agag the king of Amalek, and have utterly destroyed the Amalekites.
Saulo azongiselaki Samuele: — Ngai natosaki Yawe, nakokisaki etinda oyo apesaki ngai: Nabebisaki penza bato ya Amaleki, namemaki kutu Agagi, mokonzi na bango.
21 But the people took of the spoil, sheep and oxen, the chief of the devoted things, to sacrifice unto the LORD thy God in Gilgal.'
Kasi basoda bazwaki kati na bomengo ya bitumba bameme mpe bangombe oyo elekaki malamu kati na oyo Nzambe asengaki ete ebebisama, mpo ete babonza yango lokola mbeka epai na Yawe, Nzambe na yo, na Giligali.
22 And Samuel said: 'Hath the LORD as great delight in burnt-offerings and sacrifices, as in hearkening to the voice of the LORD? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rams.
Samuele alobaki: — Boni, Yawe asepelaka mingi na bambeka ya kotumba mpe na makabo koleka kotosa mongongo na Ye? Te! Botosi eleki mbeka; koyoka eleki mafuta ya meme ya mobali.
23 For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as idolatry and teraphim. Because thou hast rejected the word of the LORD, He hath also rejected thee from being king.'
Pamba te botomboki ekokani na lisumu ya kosambela banzambe ya bikeko. Lokola obwaki Liloba na Yawe, Ye mpe abwaki yo; ozali lisusu mokonzi te.
24 And Saul said unto Samuel: 'I have sinned; for I have transgressed the commandment of the LORD, and thy words; because I feared the people, and hearkened to their voice.
Bongo Saulo alobaki na Samuele: — Nasali lisumu, nabuki mobeko ya Yawe mpe malako na Ye. Nabangaki bato, yango wana natosaki bango.
25 Now therefore, I pray thee, pardon my sin, and return with me, that I may worship the LORD.'
Sik’oyo nabondeli yo, limbisa masumu na ngai; mpe zonga elongo na ngai, mpo ete nakoka kogumbamela Yawe.
26 And Samuel said unto Saul: 'I will not return with thee; for thou hast rejected the word of the LORD, and the LORD hath rejected thee from being king over Israel.'
Kasi Samuele alobaki na Saulo: — Nakozonga elongo na yo te; pamba te lokola obwakaki Liloba na Yawe, Yawe mpe abwaki yo mpe ozali lisusu mokonzi ya Isalaele te.
27 And as Samuel turned about to go away, he laid hold upon the skirt of his robe, and it rent.
Lokola Samuele abalukaki mpo na kokende, Saulo akangaki ye na songe ya kazaka na ye, mpe kazaka epasukaki.
28 And Samuel said unto him: 'The LORD hath rent the kingdom of Israel from thee this day, and hath given it to a neighbour of thine, that is better than thou.
Bongo Samuele alobaki na ye: — Na mokolo ya lelo, Yawe abotoli yo bokonzi kati na Isalaele mpe apesi yango epai ya moko kati na baninga na yo, oyo azali malamu koleka yo.
29 And also the Glory of Israel will not lie nor repent; for He is not a man, that He should repent.'
Ye oyo azali nkembo ya Isalaele akosaka te mpe abongolaka makanisi na Ye te, pamba te azali moto te mpo ete abongola makanisi na Ye.
30 Then he said: 'I have sinned; yet honour me now, I pray thee, before the elders of my people, and before Israel, and return with me, that I may worship the LORD thy God.'
Saulo alobaki: — Nasali lisumu. Kasi, sik’oyo, nabondeli yo: pesa ngai lokumu liboso ya bampaka ya bato na ngai mpe liboso ya Isalaele, zonga elongo na ngai mpo ete nakoka kogumbamela Yawe, Nzambe na yo.
31 So Samuel returned after Saul; and Saul worshipped the LORD.
Boye Samuele akendeki elongo na Saulo, mpe Saulo agumbamelaki Yawe.
32 Then said Samuel: 'Bring ye hither to me Agag the king of the Amalekites.' And Agag came unto him in chains. And Agag said: 'Surely the bitterness of death is at hand.'
Kasi Samuele alobaki na ye: « Memela ngai Agagi, mokonzi ya bato ya Amaleki. » Agagi ayaki na esengo, pamba te azalaki komilobela: « Solo, pasi ya kufa elongwe mpe ekeyi mosika na ngai. »
33 And Samuel said: As thy sword hath made women childless, so shall thy mother be childless among women. And Samuel hewed Agag in pieces before the LORD in Gilgal.
Kasi Samuele alobaki: « Ndenge mopanga na yo ezangisaki basi bana na bango, ndenge wana mpe mama na yo, kati na basi, akozanga mwana mobali. » Boye, Samuele abomaki Agagi liboso ya Yawe, na Giligali.
34 Then Samuel went to Ramah; and Saul went up to his house to Gibeath-shaul.
Bongo Samuele azongaki na Rama, mpe Saulo akendeki na ndako na ye, na Gibea ya Saulo.
35 And Samuel never beheld Saul again until the day of his death; for Samuel mourned for Saul; and the LORD repented that He had made Saul king over Israel.
Kino na mokolo oyo Samuele akufaki, atikalaki komona lisusu Saulo te. Samuele asalaki matanga mpo na Saulo. Mpe Yawe ayokaki mawa na ndenge akomisaki Saulo mokonzi ya Isalaele.
