1 Samuel 2
1 And Hannah prayed, and said, My heart rejoices in the LORD, my horn is exalted in the LORD: my mouth is enlarged over my enemies; because I rejoice in your 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 you: 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 Talk no more so exceeding proudly; let not arrogance 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 ceased: so that the barren has born seven; and she that has many children is waxed feeble.
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 makes poor, and makes rich: he brings low, and lifts up.
Yawe akomisaka moto mobola, mpe akomisaka moto mozwi; akitisaka mpe atombolaka.
8 He raises up the poor out of the dust, and lifts up the beggar from the dunghill, to set them among princes, and to make them inherit the throne of glory: for the pillars of the earth are the LORD’s, and he has set the world on 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 saints, and the wicked shall be silent in darkness; for by strength shall no 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 The adversaries of the LORD shall be broken to pieces; out of heaven shall he thunder on them: the LORD shall judge the ends of the earth; and he shall give strength to 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 to 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 sons of Belial; they knew not the LORD.
Bana mibali ya Eli bazalaki kilikili, bayebaki Yawe te.
13 And the priest’s custom with the people was, that, when any man offered sacrifice, the priest’s servant came, while the flesh was in seething, with a meat hook of three teeth in his hand;
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 meat hook brought up the priest took for himself. So they did in Shiloh to all the Israelites that came thither.
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 Also before they burnt the fat, 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 you, 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 any man said to him, Let them not fail to burn the fat presently, and then take as much as your soul desires; then he would answer him, No; but you shall 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 Why the sin of the young men was very great before the LORD: for men abhorred 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 coat, 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 blessed Elkanah and his wife, and said, The LORD give you seed of this woman for the loan which is lent to the LORD. And they went to 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 And the LORD visited Hannah, so that 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 heard all that his sons did to all Israel; and how they lay with the women that assembled at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
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 to them, Why do you such things? for I hear of your evil dealings by all this people.
Alobaki na bango: « Mpo na nini bozali kosala makambo mabe boye? Nazali koyoka bato nyonso kolobela yango.
24 No, my sons; for it is no good report that I hear: you make the LORD’s people to transgress.
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, the judge shall judge him: but if a man sin against the LORD, who shall entreat for him? Notwithstanding they listened not to 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 was in favor 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 to Eli, and said to him, Thus says the LORD, Did I plainly appear to the house of your father, when they were in Egypt in 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 offer on my altar, to burn incense, to wear an ephod before me? and did I give to the house of your father all the offerings made by fire of the children of Israel?
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 Why kick you at my sacrifice and at my offering, which I have commanded in my habitation; and honor your sons above me, to make yourselves fat with the most chief 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 Why the LORD God of Israel said, I said indeed that your house, and the house of your father, should walk before me for ever: but now the LORD says, Be it far from me; for them that honor me I will honor, 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 your arm, and the arm of your father’s house, that there shall not be an old man in your 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 you shall see an enemy in my habitation, in all the wealth which God shall give Israel: and there shall not be an old man in your 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 And the man of yours, whom I shall not cut off from my altar, shall be to consume your eyes, and to grieve your heart: and all the increase of your house shall die in the flower of their age.
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 a sign to you, that shall come on your 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 my 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 your house shall come and crouch to him for a piece of silver and a morsel of bread, and shall say, Put me, I pray you, into one of the priests’ offices, that I may eat a piece 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.’ › »
