1 Samuel 2
1 And Hannah prayed, and said: my heart exulteth in the LORD, my horn is exalted in the LORD; my mouth is enlarged over mine enemies; because I rejoice in Thy salvation.
Ana asambelaki na maloba oyo: Motema na ngai ezali kosepela mpo na Yawe mpo ete alendisi bomoi na ngai. Wana nazali na esengo mpo ete okangoli ngai, monoko na ngai ekotelemela banguna na ngai.
2 There is none holy as the LORD, for there is none beside Thee; neither is there any rock like our God.
Moko te azali bule lokola Yawe; moko te, bobele Yo. Libanga moko te ezali lokola Nzambe na biso.
3 Multiply not exceeding proud talk; let not arrogancy come out of your mouth; for the LORD is a God of knowledge, and by Him actions are weighed.
Bolobaloba maloba ebele te ya lolendo, mpe tika ete lofundu ebima na monoko na bino te, pamba te Yawe azali Nzambe oyo ayebi nyonso mpe asambisaka misala nyonso ya bato.
4 The bows of the mighty men are broken, and they that stumbled are girded with strength.
Tolotolo ya bilombe ebukani, kasi bato na bolembu bazwi makasi.
5 They that were full have hired out themselves for bread; and they that were hungry have ceased; while the barren hath borne seven, she that had many children hath languished.
Bato oyo bazalaki na bozwi ebele bakomi koluka mosala mpo na bilei, kasi ba-oyo bazalaki kokelela batiki kosala. Mwasi oyo abotaki te akobota mbala sambo, kasi mwasi oyo abotaki bana ebele akobota lisusu te.
Yawe abomaka mpe apesaka bomoi, akitisaka bato na mokili ya bakufi mpe asekwisaka. (Sheol h7585)
7 The LORD maketh poor, and maketh rich; He bringeth low, He also lifteth up.
Yawe akomisaka moto mobola, mpe akomisaka moto mozwi; akitisaka mpe atombolaka.
8 He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, He lifteth up the needy from the dung-hill, to make them sit with princes, and inherit the throne of glory; for the pillars of the earth are the LORD'S, and He hath set the world upon them.
Alongolaka mobola na putulu, mpe abimisaka na fulu moto oyo azanga; mpo ete avandisa bango esika moko na bato ya lokumu mpe apesa bango kiti ya lokumu lokola libula. Pamba te miboko ya mabele ezali ya Yawe, mpe ezali na likolo na yango nde atia mokili.
9 He will keep the feet of His holy ones, but the wicked shall be put to silence in darkness; for not by strength shall man prevail.
Yawe akobatelaka makolo ya babulami na Ye, kasi bato mabe bakobunga kati na molili. Moto akotikala kolonga te na makasi na ye moko.
10 They that strive with the LORD shall be broken to pieces; against them will He thunder in heaven; the LORD will judge the ends of the earth; and He will give strength unto His king, and exalt the horn of His anointed.
Bato oyo batiaka tembe na Yawe bakopanzana, pamba te akokweyisela bango kake wuta na likolo. Yawe akosambisa mokili mobimba, akopesa mokonzi na yango nguya mpe akobakisa makasi ya mopakolami na Ye.
11 And Elkanah went to Ramah to his house. And the child did minister unto the LORD before Eli the priest.
Sima na yango, Elikana azongaki na ndako na ye, na Rama; kasi mwana atikalaki mpo na kosalela Yawe na bokambami ya Nganga-Nzambe Eli.
12 Now the sons of Eli were base men; they knew not the LORD.
Bana mibali ya Eli bazalaki kilikili, bayebaki Yawe te.
13 And the custom of the priests with the people was, that, when any man offered sacrifice, the priest's servant came, while the flesh was in seething, with a flesh-hook of three teeth in his band;
Tala ndenge nini Banganga-Nzambe oyo bazalaki kosala na miso ya bato: tango nyonso moto moko azalaki koya kobonza mbeka, mosali ya Nganga-Nzambe azalaki koya na ngonga ya kotumba mbeka yango, azalaki kosimba kanya ya misapi misato na loboko na ye,
14 and he struck it into the pan, or kettle, or caldron, or pot; all that the flesh-hook brought up the priest took therewith. So they did unto all the Israelites that came thither in Shiloh.
azalaki kokotisa yango na sani, na nzungu, na kikalungu to na mbeki; mpe azalaki kokamata, mpo na Nganga-Nzambe, eteni nyonso ya nyama oyo ezalaki kokangama na kanya. Ezali ndenge wana nde bana mibali ya Eli bazalaki kosala epai ya bana nyonso ya Isalaele oyo bazalaki kokende kuna na Silo.
15 Yea, before the fat was made to smoke, the priest's servant came, and said to the man that sacrificed: 'Give flesh to roast for the priest; for he will not have sodden flesh of thee, but raw.'
Kutu, liboso ete mafuta ya mbeka etumbama, mosali ya Nganga-Nzambe azalaki koya koloba na moto oyo azalaki kobonza mbeka: « Longolaka libela eteni ya Nganga-Nzambe, pamba te akondima te kozwa na maboko na yo nyama oyo yo moko otumbi; kasi akondima kaka nyama ya mobesu. »
16 And if the man said unto him: 'Let the fat be made to smoke first of all, and then take as much as thy soul desireth'; then he would say: 'Nay, but thou shalt give it me now; and if not, I will take it by force.'
Bongo soki moto yango azongiseli mosali ya Nganga-Nzambe: « Tika ete mafuta etumbama nanu, bongo okozwa, na sima, eteni oyo olingi, » mosali azalaki kozongisa: « Te! Pesa ngai yango nde sik’oyo, noki te nakozwa yango na makasi. »
17 And the sin of the young men was very great before the LORD; for the men dealt contemptuously with the offering of the LORD.
Lisumu oyo ya bana mibali ya Eli ezalaki monene na miso ya Yawe, pamba te bazalaki kozwa na limemia te mbeka oyo ebonzami mpo na Yawe.
18 But Samuel ministered before the LORD, being a child, girded with a linen ephod.
Kasi Samuele azalaki kosala mosala na ye liboso ya Yawe. Elenge mobali Samuele azalaki kolata efode ya lino.
19 Moreover his mother made him a little robe, and brought it to him from year to year, when she came up with her husband to offer the yearly sacrifice.
Mibu nyonso, mama na ye azalaki kotongela ye nzambala ya moke, mpe azalaki komemela ye yango tango nyonso azalaki kokende elongo na mobali na ye mpo na kobonza mbeka.
20 And Eli would bless Elkanah and his wife, and say: 'The LORD give thee seed of this woman for the loan which was lent to the LORD.' And they would go unto their own home.
Eli azalaki kopambola Elikana mpe mwasi na ye na maloba oyo: « Tika ete Yawe apesa yo bana na nzela ya mwasi oyo, mpo na kozwa esika ya mwana oyo asengaki na mabondeli mpe abonzaki epai na Yawe! » Sima na yango, bazongaki epai na bango.
21 So the LORD remembered Hannah, and she conceived, and bore three sons and two daughters. And the child Samuel grew before the LORD.
Yawe asalelaki Ana ngolu, mpe Ana azwaki lisusu bazemi, abotaki bana mibali misato mpe bana basi mibale. Nzokande elenge mobali Samuele azalaki kokola liboso ya Yawe.
22 Now Eli was very old; and he heard all that his sons did unto all Israel, and how that they lay with the women that did service at the door of the tent of meeting.
Eli akomaki mobange makasi, mpe azalaki koyoka makambo nyonso oyo bana na ye ya mibali bazalaki kosala epai ya bana nyonso ya Isalaele; azalaki mpe koyoka ete bazalaki kosangisa nzoto na basi oyo bazalaki kosala na ekotelo ya Ndako ya kapo ya Bokutani.
23 And he said unto them: 'Why do ye such things? for I hear evil reports concerning you from all this people.
Alobaki na bango: « Mpo na nini bozali kosala makambo mabe boye? Nazali koyoka bato nyonso kolobela yango.
24 Nay, my sons; for it is no good report which I hear the LORD'S people do spread abroad.
Te, bana na ngai! Sango oyo nazali koyoka bato ya Yawe kopanza na tina na bino ezali malamu te.
25 If one man sin against another, God shall judge him; but if a man sin against the LORD, who shall entreat for him?' But they hearkened not unto the voice of their father, because the LORD would slay them.
Pamba te soki moto asali moninga na ye mabe, Nzambe akosambisa ye; kasi soki moto asali lisumu epai na Yawe, nani akoloba mpo na ye? » Kasi bana batikalaki koyokela tata na bango te, pamba te ezalaki mokano ya Yawe mpo na koboma bango.
26 And the child Samuel grew on, and increased in favour both with the LORD, and also with men.
Elenge mobali Samuele akobaki kokola na nzoto, mpe azalaki kosepelisa Yawe mpe bato.
27 And there came a man of God unto Eli, and said unto him: 'Thus saith the LORD: Did I reveal Myself unto the house of thy father, when they were in Egypt in bondage to Pharaoh's house?
Mokolo moko, moto moko na Nzambe ayaki epai ya Eli mpe alobaki na ye: — Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: « Boni, namimonisaki te na polele epai ya libota ya tata na yo tango bazalaki na Ejipito, na se ya bokonzi ya Faraon?
28 And did I choose him out of all the tribes of Israel to be My priest, to go up unto Mine altar, to burn incense, to wear an ephod before Me? and did I give unto the house of thy father all the offerings of the children of Israel made by fire?
Naponaki tata na yo kati na bikolo nyonso ya Isalaele mpo ete asalela Ngai lokola Nganga-Nzambe, mpo ete amata na etumbelo na Ngai, atumba mbeka ya malasi mpe alata efode liboso na Ngai. Napesaki lisusu, na libota ya tata na yo, makabo nyonso ya bana ya Isalaele, makabo oyo bazikisa na moto.
29 Wherefore kick ye at My sacrifice and at Mine offering, which I have commanded in My habitation; and honourest thy sons above Me, to make yourselves fat with the chiefest of all the offerings of Israel My people?
Bongo mpo na nini bozali kozwa na limemia te bambeka mpe makabo na Ngai, oyo napeselaki mitindo ete epesama kati na Ndako na Ngai? Mpo na nini ozali kopesa bana na yo ya mibali lokumu koleka Ngai, na ndenge bozali kolia biteni oyo eleki kitoko kati na bambeka oyo bato na Ngai, Isalaele, bazali kobonzela Ngai?
30 Therefore the LORD, the God of Israel, saith: I said indeed that thy house, and the house of thy father, should walk before Me for ever; but now the LORD saith: Be it far from Me: for them that honour Me I will honour, and they that despise Me shall be lightly esteemed.
Lokola ezali bongo, tala makambo oyo Ngai Yawe, Nzambe ya Isalaele, nalobi: ‹ Nalakaki ete libota na yo mpe libota ya tata na yo bakosalela Ngai tango nyonso lokola Banganga-Nzambe. › Kasi sik’oyo, Ngai Yawe nalobi: ‹ Esili! Mosika na Ngai elaka oyo! Bato oyo bazali kopesa Ngai lokumu, bango kaka nde Ngai nakopesa lokumu; kasi ba-oyo bazali kotiola Ngai, nakoyokisa bango soni.
31 Behold, the days come, that I will cut off thine arm, and the arm of thy father's house, that there shall not be an old man in thy house.
Mpe na mikolo oyo ezali koya, nakokomisa mikolo na yo mpe ya libota na yo mikuse, mpe mobange akotikala kozala lisusu te kati na molongo ya libota na yo.
32 And thou shalt behold a rival in My habitation, in all the good which shall be done to Israel; and there shall not be an old man in thy house for ever.
Atako bakosalela Isalaele bolamu, kasi yo okomona pasi kati na Ndako na Ngai; mpe mobange akotikala kozala lisusu te kati na molongo ya libota na yo.
33 Yet will I not cut off every man of thine from Mine altar, to make thine eyes to fail, and thy heart to languish; and all the increase of thy house shall die young men.
Nzokande, kati na bato na yo, ekozala na moto moko oyo nakolongola te liboso ya etumbelo na Ngai, mpo ete obanda koyokelaka ye zuwa mpe obanda kozikaka motema; kasi bana nyonso oyo bakobotama na ndako na yo bakokufa na bolenge na bango.
34 And this shall be the sign unto thee, that which shall come upon thy two sons, on Hophni and Phinehas: in one day they shall die both of them.
Mpe makambo oyo ekokweyela bana na yo mibale ya mibali, Ofini mpe Fineasi, ekozala elembo mpo na yo: bango mibale bakokufa mokolo moko.
35 And I will raise Me up a faithful priest, that shall do according to that which is in My heart and in My mind; and I will build him a sure house; and he shall walk before Mine anointed for ever.
Nakomiponela Nganga-Nzambe ya sembo oyo akosala kolanda motema mpe makanisi na Ngai. Nakobongisela ye libota moko oyo ekowumela, mpe akosala tango nyonso mosala ya bonganga-Nzambe liboso ya mopakolami na Ngai.
36 And it shall come to pass, that every one that is left in thy house shall come and bow down to him for a piece of silver and a loaf of bread, and shall say: Put me, I pray thee, into one of the priests' offices, that I may eat a morsel of bread.'
Bongo moto nyonso oyo akotikala kati na libota na yo akobanda koya kofukama liboso na ye mpo na kozwa mbongo moko ya palata mpe eteni ya lipa, mpe akoloba: ‘Kotisa ngai ata na mosala moko kati na misala ya bonganga-Nzambe mpo ete nazwaka ata eteni ya lipa.’ › »
