1 Samuel 10
1 And Samuel took a flask of oil, and poured it upon his head, and kissed him, and said, Behold, it is because the Lord hath anointed thee over his inheritance as chief.
Bongo Samuele azwaki molangi ya mafuta, asopaki yango na moto ya Saulo, ayambaki ye mpe alobaki: « Boni, Yawe apakoli yo mafuta te mpo ete ozala mokambi ya libula na Ye?
2 When thou goest this day away from me, thou wilt find two men who are now by Rachel's sepulchre, on the boundary of Benjamin at Zelzach; and they will say unto thee, The asses which thou wentest to seek are found: and, lo, thy father hath given up the matter of the asses, and is anxious for you, saying, What shall I do for my son?
Sima na yo kotika ngai na mokolo ya lelo, okokutana na mibali mibale pembeni ya kunda ya Rasheli, na Tselitsa, na bandelo ya mokili ya Benjame. Bakoloba na yo: ‹ Ba-ane oyo okendeki koluka emonani. Mpe, sik’oyo, tata na yo atiki komitungisa na tina na yango, kasi akomi nde komitungisa mpo na bino. Azali komituna: ‘Nakosala nini mpo na mwana na ngai ya mobali.’ › »
3 Then shalt thou go on forward from there, and thou shalt come as far as the grove of Tabor, and there shall meet thee three men going up to God to Beth-el, one carrying three kids, and another carrying three loaves of bread, and another carrying a bottle of wine:
Kolongwa wana, okokende mwa mosika kino okokoma na nzete monene ya Tabori epai wapi okokutana na mibali misato oyo bakozala komata epai ya Nzambe, na Beteli. Moko akomema bana misato ya ntaba; mosusu, biteni misato ya mapa; mpe mosusu, molangi ya vino.
4 And they will ask thee after thy welfare, and give thee two loaves of bread, which thou must take from their hand.
Bakopesa yo mbote mpe bakokabela yo mapa mibale. Okozwa yango na maboko na bango.
5 After that shalt thou come to the hill of God, where the outposts of the Philistines are; and it shall come to pass, when thou art come thither to the city, that thou wilt meet a company of prophets coming down from the high-place, having before them a psaltery, and a tambourine, and a pipe, and a harp; and they will be prophesying;
Sima na yango, okokende na Gibea ya Nzambe epai wapi bayangeli ya Filisitia bazali. Wana okopusana na engumba, okokutana na ngulupa ya basakoli kowuta na esambelo ya likolo ya ngomba. Liboso na bango, ekozala na babeti mandanda, bambunda ya mike, baflite mpe banzenze. Wana bakozala kobeta mindule, basakoli yango bakokoma kosakola.
6 And the Spirit of the Lord will suddenly come over thee, and thou shalt prophesy with them, and thou shalt be changed into another man.
Bongo Molimo na Yawe akokitela yo na nguya, okosakola elongo na bango, mpe okobongwana moto ya lolenge mosusu.
7 And it shall be, that, when these signs are come unto thee, then do thou what thy hand may be able to effect; for God is with thee.
Soki kaka omoni bilembo oyo kokokisama, wana sala na yo nyonso oyo okoki kosala mpo na yo moko, pamba te Nzambe azali elongo na yo.
8 And thou shalt go down before me to Gilgal; and, behold, I will come down unto thee, to offer burnt-offerings, [and] to sacrifice sacrifices of peace-offerings: seven days shalt thou tarry, till I come to thee, and then will I tell thee what thou shalt do.
Bongo okotambola liboso na ngai mpo na kokende na Giligali, mpe ngai nakokuta yo kuna mpo na kobonza bambeka ya kotumba mpe bambeka ya boyokani. Kasi osengeli kozela mikolo sambo kino naya kokuta yo; mpe nakoyebisa yo makambo oyo osengeli kosala.
9 And it happened, that, as he turned his back to go away from Samuel, God changed his heart into another; and all these signs came to pass on that same day.
Tango kaka Saulo abalukaki mpo na kotika Samuele, Nzambe abongolaki motema ya Saulo, mpe bilembo nyonso ekokisamaki mokolo wana kaka.
10 And when they came thither to the hill, behold, a company of prophets met him; and the Spirit of God came suddenly over him, and he prophesied in the midst of them.
Tango bakomaki na Gibea, ngulupa ya basakoli ekutanaki na ye; bongo Molimo ya Nzambe akitelaki ye na nguya, mpe akomaki kosakola kati na bango.
11 And it came to pass, when all that knew him before saw, that, behold, he prophesied with the prophets, then said the people one to another, What is this that hath happened to the son of Kish? is Saul also among the prophets?
Tango bato nyonso oyo bayebi Saulo wuta kala bamonaki ye kosakola elongo na basakoli bamitunaki: « Likambo nini ekweyi na bomoi ya mwana mobali ya Kishi? Boni, Saulo mpe azali moko kati na basakoli? »
12 And one of that place answered and said, And who is their father? Therefore it became a proverb, Is Saul also among the prophets?
Moko kati na bato oyo bazalaki wana alobaki: « Bongo nani azali motambolisi na bango? » Ezali ndenge wana nde ebandaki lisese oyo: « Saulo mpe azali moko kati na basakoli? »
13 And when he had made an end of prophesying, he came to the high-place.
Tango Saulo asilisaki kosakola, akendeki na esambelo ya likolo ya ngomba.
14 And Saul's uncle said unto him and to his servant, Whither were ye gone? And he said, To seek the asses; and when we saw that they were nowhere, we went to Samuel.
Noko ya Saulo atunaki Saulo mpe mosali na ye: — Bokendeki wapi? Saulo azongisaki: — Tokendeki koluka ba-ane. Kasi lokola tomonaki yango te, yango wana tokendeki epai ya Samuele.
15 And Saul's uncle said, Do tell me, I pray thee, what did Samuel say unto you.
Noko ya Saulo alobaki lisusu: — Nabondeli yo, yebisa ngai makambo oyo Samuele alobaki na bino.
16 And Saul said unto his uncle, He told us plainly that the asses had been found. But of the matter of the kingdom, whereof Samuel had spoken, he told him not.
Saulo azongiselaki noko na ye: — Ayebisaki biso ete ba-ane ekomonana solo. Kasi Saulo ayebisaki noko na ye te makambo oyo Samuele alobaki na ye na tina na bokonzi.
17 And Samuel called the people together unto the Lord to Mizpah;
Samuele abengisaki, na Mitsipa, bato ya Isalaele liboso ya Yawe
18 And he said unto the children of Israel, Thus hath said the Lord the God of Israel, I brought up Israel from Egypt, and delivered you out of the hand of the Egyptians, and out of the hand of all the kingdoms that oppressed you;
mpe alobaki na bango: « Tala makambo oyo Yawe, Nzambe ya Isalaele, alobi: ‹ Ngai moko nde nabimisaki Isalaele wuta na Ejipito mpe nakangolaki bino na maboko ya bato ya Ejipito mpe ya bokonzi nyonso oyo ezalaki konyokola bino. ›
19 And ye for your part have this day rejected your God, he who hath saved you out of all your misfortunes and your tribulations; and ye have said unto him, Nevertheless, thou must set a king over us: and now present yourselves before the Lord according to your tribes, and according to your thousands.
Kasi, na mokolo ya lelo, bobwaki Nzambe na bino, oyo abikisaka bino na pasi na bino nyonso mpe na minyoko na bino. Mpe bolobi na Ye: ‹ Ponela biso mokonzi oyo akokamba biso! › Lokola ezali bongo, botelema sik’oyo bino moko liboso ya Yawe kolanda bikolo mpe bituka na bino. »
20 And Samuel caused all the tribes of Israel to come near; and the tribe of Benjamin was seized.
Samuele abengaki ekolo moko na moko ya Isalaele, mpe ekolo ya Benjame eponamaki.
21 And he caused the tribe of Benjamin to come near according to its families, and the family of Matri was seized, and then was seized Saul the son of Kish: and they sought him, but he could not be found.
Abengaki etuka moko na moko ya ekolo ya Benjame, mpe etuka ya Matiri eponamaki. Na suka, ezalaki Saulo, mwana mobali ya Kishi, nde aponamaki. Kasi tango balukaki ye, bamonaki ye te.
22 And they inquired again of the Lord, Is the man yet come hither? And the Lord said, Behold, he hath hidden himself among the vessels.
Boye, batunaki lisusu Yawe: — Boni, ezali lisusu na moto oyo ayaki awa? Yawe azongisaki: — Iyo! Botala ye wana, abombami kati na biloko.
23 And they ran and fetched him thence, and he placed himself erect in the midst of the people, and he was higher than any of the people from his shoulders and upward.
Bapotaki mbangu mpo na kobimisa ye, mpe batelemisaki ye kati na bato; mpe emonanaki ete aleki bato nyonso na molayi.
24 And Samuel said to all the people, Have ye seen him whom the Lord hath made choice of, that there is none like him among all the people? And all the people shouted, and said, Long live the king.
Bongo Samuele alobaki na bato nyonso: — Botala moto oyo Yawe aponi! Kati na bato nyonso, moko te akokani na ye. Bato bazongisaki na koganga: — Tika ete mokonzi awumela na bomoi!
25 Then did Samuel speak to the people the rights of the kingdom, and wrote it in a book, and laid it down before the Lord. And Samuel sent away all the people, every man to his house.
Samuele alimbolelaki bato makambo oyo etali bokonzi, akomaki yango na buku mpe atiaki liboso ya Yawe. Sima na yango, azongisaki bato, moto na moto na ndako na ye.
26 And Saul also went to his home to Gib'ah; and there went with him a large crowd, whose heart God had touched.
Saulo mpe azongaki na ndako na ye, na Gibea, elongo na bilombe mibali oyo Nzambe asimbaki mitema na bango mpo ete balanda ye.
27 But the worthless men said, In what can this help us? And they despised him, and brought him no present. But he acted as though he were deaf.
Kasi ezalaki na ndambo ya bato ya kilikili oyo bazalaki koloba: « Moto oyo akokoka kobikisa biso ndenge nini? » Batiolaki ye mpe bapesaki ye ata kado moko te. Kasi Saulo avandaki kimia.
