< 1 Samuel 20 >

1 And David fled from Naioth in Ramah, and came and said before Jonathan, What have I done? what is mine iniquity? and what is my sin before your father, that he seeks my life?
Davidi akimaki wuta na Nayoti ya Rama mpe akendeki epai ya Jonatan. Atunaki ye: — Nasali nini? Mabe nini nasali? Lisumu nini nasali liboso ya tata na yo mpo ete aluka koboma ngai?
2 And he said unto him, God forbid; you shall not die: behold, my father will do nothing either great or small, but that he will show it me: and why should my father hide this thing from me? it is not so.
Jonatan azongisaki: — Te, Ekosalema te! Okokufa te! Tala, tata na ngai asalaka eloko moko te, ezala ya moke to ya monene, soki ayebisi ngai te. Mpo na nini tata na ngai abombela ngai kaka likambo oyo? Ezali bongo te.
3 And David swore moreover, and said, Your father certainly knows that I have found grace in your eyes; and he says, Let not Jonathan know this, lest he be grieved: but truly as the LORD lives, and as your soul lives, there is but a step between me and death.
Kasi Davidi alapaki ndayi na koloba: « Tata na yo ayebi malamu ete nazwaki ngolu na miso na yo, mpe amilobelaki: ‹ Tika ete Jonatan ayeba makambo oyo te, noki te akoyoka pasi na motema! › Nzokande, na Kombo na Yawe mpe na kombo na yo moko, etikali kaka moke ete baboma ngai. »
4 Then said Jonathan unto David, Whatsoever your soul desires, I will even do it for you.
Jonatan alobaki na Davidi: — Nakosala nyonso oyo okolinga ete ngai nasala mpo na yo.
5 And David said unto Jonathan, Behold, tomorrow is the new moon, and I should not fail to sit with the king at food: but let me go, that I may hide myself in the field unto the third day at even.
Davidi azongiselaki Jonatan: — Lobi ekozala mokolo ya feti ya Sanza ya Sika; nasengelaki kovanda mesa moko na mokonzi mpo na kolia. Pesa ngai nzela ete nakende kobombama na bilanga kino na pokwa ya mokolo ya misato.
6 If your father at all miss me, then say, David earnestly asked leave of me that he might run to Bethlehem his city: for there is a yearly sacrifice there for all the family.
Soki tata na yo amitungisi mpo na kozanga na ngai komonana, okoloba na ye: « Davidi atungisaki ngai ete napesa ye nzela ya kokende noki na engumba na ye, Beteleemi, pamba te etuka mobimba ekosepela kuna mbeka oyo babonzaka mibu nyonso. »
7 If he say thus, It is well; your servant shall have peace: but if he be very angry, then be sure that evil is determined by him.
Soki alobi: « Malamu, » wana mosali na yo akozala na kimia. Kasi soki atomboki na kanda, wana yeba malamu ete azwi mokano ya kosala ngai mabe.
8 Therefore you shall deal kindly with your servant; for you have brought your servant into a covenant of the LORD with you: notwithstanding, if there be in me iniquity, slay me yourself; for why should you bring me to your father?
Boye, salela mosali na yo bolamu, pamba te okotisaki ye na boyokani elongo na yo liboso ya Yawe. Soki nasalaki mabe na likambo songolo, yo moko boma ngai! Mpo na nini kokaba ngai na maboko ya tata na yo?
9 And Jonathan said, Far be it from you: for if I knew certainly that evil were determined by my father to come upon you, then would not I tell it you?
Jonatan alobaki: — Te! Ekozala penza likambo ya nkele soki ngai nakoki koyeba ete tata na ngai azwi mokano ya kosala yo mabe, bongo nayebisi yo yango te!
10 Then said David to Jonathan, Who shall tell me? or what if your father answer you roughly?
Davidi atunaki Jonatan: — Bongo soki tata na yo akozongisela yo eyano na kanda, nani akoyebisa ngai?
11 And Jonathan said unto David, Come, and let us go out into the field. And they went out both of them into the field.
Jonatan azongiselaki Davidi: — Yaka, tokende na zamba! Boye, bango mibale bakendeki nzela moko na zamba.
12 And Jonathan said unto David, O LORD God of Israel, when I have sounded my father about tomorrow any time, or the third day, and, behold, if there be good toward David, and I then send not unto you, and show it you;
Jonatan alobaki na Davidi: « Na Kombo na Yawe, Nzambe ya Isalaele, lobi to sima na lobi, na ngonga oyo, nakoluka koyeba makanisi ya tata na ngai mpo na yo. Soki ezali malamu, bongo natindi moto te mpo na koyebisa yo yango,
13 The LORD do so and much more to Jonathan: but if it please my father to do you evil, then I will show it you, and send you away, that you may go in peace: and the LORD be with you, as he has been with my father.
wana tika ete Yawe asala na ngai Jonatan nyonso oyo ekozala malamu na miso na Ye! Kasi soki tata na ngai azali na makanisi ya kosala yo mabe, ngai nakoyebisa yo mpe nakotika yo kokende mpo ete okende na yo na kimia. Tika ete Yawe azala elongo na yo ndenge azalaki elongo na tata na ngai!
14 And you shall not only while yet I live show me the kindness of the LORD, that I die not:
Sima na mikolo, soki nakozala nanu na bomoi, salela ngai bolamu lokola bolamu ya Yawe mpo ete baboma ngai te.
15 But also you shall not cut off your kindness from my house for ever: no, not when the LORD has cut off the enemies of David every one from the face of the earth.
Mpe kolemba te kosalela libota na ngai bolamu, ata tango Yawe akolongola banguna nyonso ya Davidi, na etando ya mokili. »
16 So Jonathan made a covenant with the house of David, saying, Let the LORD even require it at the hand of David's enemies.
Boye Jonatan asalaki boyokani elongo na libota ya Davidi na maloba oyo: « Tika ete Yawe azongisa mabe na mabe na banguna ya Davidi! »
17 And Jonathan caused David to swear again, because he loved him: for he loved him as he loved his own soul.
Mpe Jonatan asengaki ete Davidi alapa lisusu ndayi na ye na kombo ya bolingo na ye Davidi epai ya Jonatan, pamba te azalaki kolinga ye ndenge ye moko amilingaka.
18 Then Jonathan said to David, Tomorrow is the new moon: and you shall be missed, because your seat will be empty.
Bongo Jonatan alobaki na Davidi: — Lobi ekozala mokolo ya feti ya Sanza ya Sika; bato bakomitungisa mpo na yo mpo ete okozala te, mpe bakomona ete esika na yo ekozala pamba.
19 And when you have stayed three days, then you shall go down quickly, and come to the place where you did hide yourself when the business was in hand, and shall remain by the stone Ezel.
Sima na lobi, na pokwa, okokende kino na esika epai wapi obombamaki tango likambo oyo ebandaki mpe okovanda pembeni ya libanga Ezeli.
20 And I will shoot three arrows on the side thereof, as though I shot at a mark.
Ngai nakobwaka makonga misato na ngambo moko ya libanga yango lokola nde nazali kobwaka na elembo moko.
21 And, behold, I will send a lad, saying, Go, find out the arrows. If I expressly say unto the lad, Behold, the arrows are on this side of you, take them; then come you: for there is peace to you, and no hurt; as the LORD lives.
Bongo nakotinda elenge mobali moko kokende koluka makonga yango. Soki nalobi na ye: « Tala, makonga ezali pembeni na yo, lokota mpe yaka na yango awa, » wana nalingi koloba: « Na Kombo na Yawe, yaka mpo ete ozali na kimia, likambo ezali te. »
22 But if I say thus unto the young man, Behold, the arrows are beyond you; go your way: for the LORD has sent you away.
Kasi soki nalobi na elenge mobali: « Tala, makonga ezali mosika na yo; » wana nalingi koloba: « Kima na yo, pamba te Yawe akimisi yo. »
23 And as concerning the matter which you and I have spoken of, behold, the LORD be between you and me for ever.
Bongo mpo na liloba oyo tosololaki ngai na yo, yeba ete Yawe azali Motatoli kati na ngai mpe yo mpo na libela.
24 So David hid himself in the field: and when the new moon was come, the king sat him down to eat food.
Davidi abombamaki kati na zamba. Bongo na tango ya feti ya Sanza ya Sika, mokonzi avandaki na mesa mpo na kolia.
25 And the king sat upon his seat, as at other times, even upon a seat by the wall: and Jonathan arose, and Abner sat by Saul's side, and David's place was empty.
Mokonzi avandaki lokola momesano na esika na ye pembeni ya mir. Jonatan atelemaki, mpe Abineri avandaki pembeni ya Saulo, kasi esika ya Davidi ezalaki polele.
26 Nevertheless Saul spoke not any thing that day: for he thought, Something has befallen him, he is not clean; surely he is not clean.
Saulo alobaki eloko moko te na mokolo wana, pamba te akanisaki kaka ete eloko moko esalemi epai ya Davidi oyo ekomisi ye mbindo.
27 And it came to pass on the next day, which was the second day of the month, that David's place was empty: and Saul said unto Jonathan his son, Wherefore comes not the son of Jesse to food, neither yesterday, nor to day?
Kasi mokolo oyo elandaki, mokolo ya mibale ya feti ya Sanza ya Sika, lokola esika ya Davidi ezalaki lisusu polele, Saulo alobaki na mwana na ye ya mobali, Jonatan: — Mpo na nini mwana mobali ya Izayi ayei te mpo na kolia, ezala lobi oyo eleki to lelo?
28 And Jonathan answered Saul, David earnestly asked leave of me to go to Bethlehem:
Jonatan azongiselaki Saulo: — Davidi atungisaki ngai ete napesa ye nzela ya kokende noki na Beteleemi.
29 And he said, Let me go, I pray you; for our family has a sacrifice in the city; and my brother, he has commanded me to be there: and now, if I have found favour in your eyes, let me get away, I pray you, and see my brethren. Therefore he comes not unto the king's table.
Alobaki: « Pesa ngai nzela ya kokende mpo ete etuka na ngai esengeli kobonza mbeka kati na engumba, mpe ndeko na ngai ya mobali abengisi ngai mpo ete nazala kuna. Soki nazwi ngolu na miso na yo, tika ngai kokende kotala bandeko na ngai. » Yango wana ayei te na mesa ya mokonzi.
30 Then Saul's anger was kindled against Jonathan, and he said unto him, You son of the perverse rebellious woman, do not I know that you have chosen the son of Jesse to your own confusion, and unto the confusion of your mother's nakedness?
Saulo asilikelaki makasi Jonatan mpe alobaki na ye: — Yo mwana mobali ya mwasi ya yawuli mpe motomboki, nayebi solo ete okoteli mwana mobali ya Izayi; kasi ezali mpo na soni na yo mpe ya mama oyo abota yo.
31 For as long as the son of Jesse lives upon the ground, you shall not be established, nor your kingdom. Wherefore now send and fetch him unto me, for he shall surely die.
Pamba te tango nyonso mwana mobali ya Izayi akozala na bomoi kati na mokili oyo, ezala yo to bokonzi na yo, bokozala na kimia te. Sik’oyo, lukisa ye mpe memela ngai ye, pamba te asengeli kokufa.
32 And Jonathan answered Saul his father, and said unto him, Wherefore shall he be slain? what has he done?
Jonatan atunaki Saulo, tata na ye: — Basengeli koboma ye mpo na nini? Asali nini?
33 And Saul cast a javelin at him to strike him: whereby Jonathan knew that it was determined of his father to slay David.
Saulo abwakelaki Jonatan likonga na ye mpo na koboma ye, mpe Jonatan asosolaki ete tata na ye azali na makanisi ya koboma Davidi.
34 So Jonathan arose from the table in fierce anger, and did eat no food the second day of the month: for he was grieved for David, because his father had done him shame.
Jonatan alongwaki na mesa na kanda makasi mpe atikalaki kolia te na mokolo oyo ya mibale ya feti ya Sanza ya Sika, pamba te ayokaki pasi na motema na ndenge tata na ye afingaki Davidi.
35 And it came to pass in the morning, that Jonathan went out into the field at the time appointed with David, and a little lad with him.
Na tongo ya mokolo oyo elandaki, Jonatan akendeki na zamba kokutana na Davidi. Azalaki elongo na elenge mobali moko.
36 And he said unto his lad, Run, find out now the arrows which I shoot. And as the lad ran, he shot an arrow beyond him.
Alobaki na elenge mobali: « Kima mbangu mpe lokota makonga oyo nazali kobwaka. » Tango elenge mobali azalaki kokima mbangu, Jonatan abwakaki likonga liboso na ye.
37 And when the lad was come to the place of the arrow which Jonathan had shot, Jonathan cried after the lad, and said, Is not the arrow beyond you?
Mpe tango elenge mobali akomaki na esika oyo likonga ya Jonatan ekweyaki, Jonatan alobaki na ye na mongongo makasi: « Boni, likonga ezali liboso na yo te? »
38 And Jonathan cried after the lad, Make speed, haste, stay not. And Jonathan's lad gathered up the arrows, and came to his master.
Bongo Jonatan agangaki lisusu: « Sala noki! Kima mbangu, kotelema te! » Elenge mobali alokotaki likonga mpe azongaki epai ya nkolo na ye.
39 But the lad knew not any thing: only Jonathan and David knew the matter.
Elenge mobali ayebaki ata eloko moko te na makambo oyo nyonso; kaka Jonatan mpe Davidi nde bayebaki.
40 And Jonathan gave his artillery unto his lad, and said unto him, Go, carry them to the city.
Bongo Jonatan apesaki bibundeli na ye epai ya elenge mobali mpe alobaki: « Kende kozongisa yango na engumba. »
41 And as soon as the lad was gone, David arose out of a place toward the south, and fell on his face to the ground, and bowed himself three times: and they kissed one another, and wept one with another, until David exceeded.
Sima na elenge mobali kozonga, Davidi abimaki na ngambo ya sude ya libanga mpe agumbamaki mbala misato liboso ya Jonatan, elongi etala na se. Bayambanaki mpe balelaki elongo, kasi Davidi alelaki mingi koleka.
42 And Jonathan said to David, Go in peace, forasmuch as we have sworn both of us in the name of the LORD, saying, The LORD be between me and you, and between my seed and your seed for ever. And he arose and departed: and Jonathan went into the city.
Jonatan alobaki na Davidi: « Kende na kimia, pamba te biso mibale tolapanaki ndayi na Kombo na Yawe na koloba: ‹ Yawe azali Motatoli kati na yo mpe ngai, mpe kati ya bakitani na yo mpe bakitani na ngai mpo na libela. › » Bongo Davidi akendeki, mpe Jonatan azongaki na engumba.
