1 Samuel 21
1 THEN came David to Nob to Ahimelech the priest: and Ahimelech was afraid at the meeting of David, and said unto him, Why art thou alone, and no man with thee?
Davidi akendeki na mboka Nobi epai ya Nganga-Nzambe Ayimeleki. Ayimeleki alengaki mpe akimaki mbangu mpo na kokende koyamba ye. Atunaki na Davidi: — Mpo na nini ozali yo moko? Mpo na nini ezali na moto moko te elongo na yo?
2 And David said unto Ahimelech the priest, The king hath commanded me a business, and hath said unto me, Let no man know any thing of the business whereabout I send thee, and what I have commanded thee: and I have appointed my servants to such and such a place.
Davidi azongiselaki Nganga-Nzambe Ayimeleki: — Mokonzi apesaki ngai mosala moko boye mpe alobaki na ngai: « Tika ete moto moko te ayeba ata likambo moko na mosala oyo natindi yo. » Na tina na yango nde nasengaki na bato na ngai ete tokutana na esika moko.
3 Now therefore what is under thine hand? give me five loaves of bread in mine hand, or what there is present.
Bongo sik’oyo, osimbi eloko nini na loboko na yo? Pesa ngai mapa mitano to eloko nyonso oyo okoki kozala na yango.
4 And the priest answered David, and said, There is no common bread under mine hand, but there is hallowed bread; if the young men have kept themselves at least from women.
Kasi Nganga-Nzambe azongiselaki Davidi: — Na loboko na ngai, nazali na mapa te oyo toliaka mikolo nyonso, kasi ezali kaka na mapa oyo ebulisama. Bato na yo bakoki kolia yango soki kaka basangisaki banzoto te na basi.
5 And David answered the priest, and said unto him, Of a truth women have been kept from us about these three days, since I came out, and the vessels of the young men are holy, and the bread is in a manner common, yea, though it were sanctified this day in the vessel.
Davidi azongiselaki Nganga-Nzambe: — Solo, bapekisa biso basi ndenge kaka ezalaka tango nyonso na makambo ya boye. Kutu tango nakendaka bitumba, biloko ya bato na ngai ebulisamaka. Atako mosala ya mokolo ya lelo ezalaki bule te, kasi ekomi bule mpo ete bibundeli ebulisami.
6 So the priest gave him hallowed bread: for there was no bread there but the shewbread, that was taken from before the Lord, to put hot bread in the day when it was taken away.
Bongo Nganga-Nzambe apesaki ye mapa ebulisama, pamba te azalaki na mapa mosusu te. Ezalaki mapa oyo batiaki liboso ya Yawe, oyo bawuti kolongola na miso na Ye mpo na kotia mapa mosusu oyo ebimi sika na moto, na esika ya mapa oyo ya liboso.
7 Now a certain man of the servants of Saul was there that day, detained before the Lord; and his name was Doeg, an Edomite, the chiefest of the herdmen that belonged to Saul.
Nzokande na mokolo yango wana, ezalaki na mosali moko, kati na basali ya Saulo, oyo atikalaki kuna liboso ya Yawe. Kombo na ye ezalaki « Doegi. » Azalaki moto ya Edomi, mpe mokonzi ya babateli bibwele ya Saulo.
8 And David said unto Ahimelech, And is there not here under thine hand spear or sword? for I have neither brought my sword nor my weapons with me, because the king’s business required haste.
Davidi atunaki Ayimeleki: — Boni awa, ozali te ata na likonga moko to na mopanga na se na loboko na yo? Ngai namemaki te ezala mopanga na ngai to ebundeli na ngai mosusu, pamba te mosala ya mokonzi esengelaki kosalema na lombangu.
9 And the priest said, The sword of Goliath the Philistine, whom thou slewest in the valley of Elah, behold, it is here wrapped in a cloth behind the ephod: if thou wilt take that, take it: for there is no other save that here. And David said, There is none like that; give it me.
Nganga-Nzambe azongisaki: — Ezali awa na mopanga ya Goliati, moto ya Filisitia, oyo obomaki na lubwaku ya Terebente; balinga yango na elamba sima na efode. Soki olingi kozwa yango, zwa na yo; pamba te ezali awa na mopanga mosusu te, bobele oyo wana. Davidi alobaki: — Mopanga moko te ekokani na yango; pesa ngai yango.
10 And David arose, and fled that day for fear of Saul, and went to Achish the king of Gath.
Na mokolo wana kaka, Davidi atelemaki, akimaki Saulo mpe akendeki epai ya Akishi, mokonzi ya Gati.
11 And the servants of Achish said unto him, Is not this David the king of the land? did they not sing one to another of him in dances, saying, Saul hath slain his thousands, and David his ten thousands?
Kasi basali ya Akishi balobaki na ye: « Moto oyo azali Davidi te, mokonzi ya mboka? Ezali ye te oyo bazali koyemba boye na kobina na tina na ye: ‹ Saulo abomaki bankoto, mpe Davidi abomaki bankoto zomi? › »
12 And David laid up these words in his heart, and was sore afraid of Achish the king of Gath.
Davidi asimbamaki na maloba oyo mpe abangaki makasi Akishi, mokonzi ya Gati.
13 And he changed his behaviour before them, and feigned himself mad in their hands, and scrabbled on the doors of the gate, and let his spittle fall down upon his beard.
Mpe wana akosaki kobela liboma na miso ya bato ya Filisitia, akomaki kosala kati na bango makambo lokola moto ya liboma: kokoma na bikuke ya bandako, mpe kotika soyi kotanga ye na mandefu.
14 Then said Achish unto his servants, Lo, ye see the man is mad: wherefore then have ye brought him to me?
Akishi alobaki na basali na ye: « Botala tata oyo, azali moto ya liboma! Mpo na nini boyei na ye epai na ngai?
15 Have I need of mad men, that ye have brought this fellow to play the mad man in my presence? shall this fellow come into my house?
Boni, nazangi penza bato ya maboma mpo ete bomema mobali oyo awa, na tina ete aya kosala makambo na ye ya liboma? Boni, moto ya boye asengeli penza kokota na ndako na ngai? »
