Kings I 8
1 And it came to pass when Samuel was old, that he made his sons judges over Israel.
Tango Samuele akomaki mobange, aponaki bana na ye ya mibali mpo ete bazala basambisi kati na Isalaele.
2 And these [are] the names of his sons; Joel the firstborn, and the name of the second Abia, judges in Bersabee.
Kombo ya mwana na ye ya liboso ya mobali ezalaki « Joeli, » mpe ya mibale, « Abiya. » Bazalaki kosala mosala na bango na Beri-Sheba,
3 And his sons did not walk in his way; and they turned aside after gain, and took gifts, and perverted judgments.
kasi batambolaki te na nzela ya Samuele, tata na bango: bamipesaki na lokoso ya mbongo, na kozwaka kanyaka mpe na kokataka makambo na bosembo te.
4 And the men of Israel gather themselves together, and come to Armathaim to Samuel,
Mpo na yango, bakambi nyonso ya mabota ya Isalaele basanganaki elongo mpe bakendeki epai ya Samuele, na Rama.
5 and they said to him, Behold, you are grown old, and your sons walk not in your way; and now set over us a king to judge us, as also the other nations [have].
Balobaki na ye: « Tala, yo okomi na yo mobange, mpe bana na yo ya mibali bazali kotambola te na banzela na yo. Sik’oyo, pona mokonzi oyo akokamba biso ndenge ezali na bikolo nyonso. »
6 And the thing [was] evil in the eyes of Samuel, when they said, Give us a king to judge us: and Samuel prayed to the Lord.
Kasi tango balobaki: « Pesa biso mokonzi oyo akokamba biso, » Samuele asepelaki na likambo yango te; boye asambelaki Yawe.
7 And the Lord said to Samuel, Hear the voice of the people, in whatever they shall say to you; for they have not rejected you, but they have rejected me from reigning over them.
Mpe Yawe azongiselaki Samuele: « Yoka makambo nyonso oyo bato bazali koloba na yo. Ezali yo te nde basundoli, kasi basundoli nde Ngai lokola Mokonzi na bango.
8 According to all their doings which they have done to me, from the day that I brought them out of Egypt until this day, even [as] they have deserted me, and served other gods, so they do also to you.
Bazali kosala yo ndenge kaka basalaki Ngai, banda mokolo oyo nabimisaki bango na Ejipito kino lelo: basundolaki Ngai mpe basalelaki banzambe mosusu.
9 And now listen to their voice; only you shall solemnly testify to them, and you shall describe to them the manner of the king who shall reign over them.
Sik’oyo, yoka bango; kasi kebisa bango malamu mpe yebisa bango makambo nyonso oyo mokonzi oyo akokonza bango akobanda kosala. »
10 And Samuel spoke every word of the Lord to the people who asked of him a king.
Samuele ayebisaki bato oyo bazalaki kosenga ye mokonzi maloba nyonso ya Yawe.
11 And he said, This shall be the manner of the king that shall rule over you: he shall take your sons, and put them in his chariots, and among his horsemen, and running before his chariots,
Alobaki na bango: — Tala makambo oyo mokonzi oyo akokonza bino akobanda kosala: Akozwa bana na bino ya mibali mpe akotia bango na mosala ya kokumba bashar na ye kati na basoda na ye oyo babundaka na bampunda; bakobanda kokima mbangu liboso ya shar na ye lokola bakengeli ya mokonzi.
12 and [his manner shall be] to make them to himself captains of hundreds and captains of thousands; and to reap his harvest, and gather his vintage, and prepare his instruments of war, and the implements of his chariots.
Akotia bamoko, bakonzi ya bankoto ya basoda; bamosusu, bakonzi ya basoda tuku mitano; bamosusu, akotia bango na mosala ya kobalola mabele ya bilanga na ye, kobuka bambuma na ye mpe kosalela ye bibundeli ya bitumba mpe bisalelo mpo na bashar na ye.
13 And he will take your daughters to be perfumers, and cooks, and bakers.
Akokamata bana na bino ya basi mpo ete basalaka malasi, balambaka bilei mpe mapa.
14 And he will take your fields, and your vineyards, and your good olive yards, and give them to his servants.
Akokamata bilanga na bino ya vino mpe ya olive oyo eleki kitoko, mpe akopesa yango epai ya basali na ye.
15 And he will take the tithe of your seeds and your vineyards, and give [it] to his eunuchs, and to his servants.
Akokamata eteni ya zomi ya milona na bino mpe ya bilanga na bino ya vino, mpe akopesa yango epai ya kalaka na ye ya lokumu mpe epai ya basali na ye.
16 And he will take your servants, and your handmaids, and your good herds and your asses, and will take the tenth of them for his works.
Bongo, kati na basali na bino ya mibali, basali na bino ya basi, bilenge na bino mpe ba-ane na bino, akokamata ba-oyo baleki kitoko mpo na misala na ye.
17 And he will tithe your flocks; and you shall be his servants.
Akokamata eteni ya zomi ya bameme na bino, mpe bino moko bokokoma bawumbu na ye.
18 And you shall cry out in that day because of your king whom you have chosen to yourselves, and the Lord shall not hear you in those days, because you have chosen to yourselves a king.
Bongo na mokolo wana, tango bokobanda kolelalela mpo na mokonzi oyo bino moko bokomiponela, na mokolo yango, Yawe akoyanola bino ata moke te.
19 But the people would not listen to Samuel; and they said to him, Nay, but there shall be a king over us.
Kasi bato baboyaki koyokela Samuele, balobaki: — Te! Biso tolingi kaka mokonzi.
20 An we also will be like all the nations; and our king shall judge us, and shall go out before us, and fight our battles.
Na bongo, biso mpe tokozala lokola bikolo mosusu. Mokonzi na biso akokamba biso, akobima liboso na biso mpe akotambolisa biso na bitumba.
21 And Samuel heard all the words of the people, and spoke them in the ears of the Lord.
Tango Samuele ayokaki maloba nyonso ya bato, amemaki yango liboso ya Yawe.
22 And the Lord said to Samuel, Listen to their voice, and appoint them a king. And Samuel said to the men of Israel, Let each man depart to his city.
Mpe Yawe alobaki na Samuele: « Yokela bango mpe pesa bango mokonzi! » Bongo Samuele alobaki na bato ya Isalaele: « Tika ete moto na moto azonga na engumba na ye! »
