1 Samuel 17
1 And the Philistines gathered together their camps to battle, and they gathered themselves together at Sochoh, which belongeth to Judah; and they encamped between Sochoh and 'Azekah, at Ephess-dammim.
Bato ya Filisitia basangisaki mampinga na bango mpo na bitumba, basanganaki na Soko ya Yuda mpe batongaki molako na bango na Efeze-Damimi, kati na Soko mpe Azeka.
2 And Saul and the men of Israel gathered themselves together, and encamped in the valley of Elah, and put themselves in battle-array opposite to the Philistines.
Na ngambo mosusu, Saulo mpe bato ya Isalaele basanganaki mpe batongaki molako na bango kati na lubwaku ya Terebente; batandamaki na milongo mpe babongamaki mpo na kobundisa bato ya Filisitia.
3 And the Philistines stood on a mountain on the one side, and the Israelites stood on a mountain on the other side: and the valley was between them.
Bato ya Filisitia bazalaki na likolo ya ngomba na ngambo moko, mpe bato ya Isalaele, na likolo ya ngomba na ngambo mosusu; kaka lubwaku nde ekabolaki bango.
4 And there went out the champion out of the camp of the Philistines, Goliath of Gath was his name, whose height was six cubits and a span.
Elombe mobali moko oyo kombo na ye ezalaki « Goliati, » moto ya mboka Gati, abimaki wuta na molako ya bato ya Filisitia. Azalaki na bametele pene misato na molayi.
5 And he had a helmet of copper upon his head, and he was clothed with a scaly coat of mail; and the weight of the coat of mail was five thousand shekels of copper.
Alataki ekoti ya bronze na moto na ye mpe ebombelo ya tolo, oyo basala na bakilo pene tuku motoba ya bronze.
6 And he had greaves of copper upon his legs, and a javelin of copper between his shoulders.
Na makolo na ye, alataki bitando ya bronze, mpe akangisaki likonga ya bronze na sima ya mokongo na ye.
7 And the staff of his spear was like a weaver's beam; and the blade of his spear [weighed] six hundred shekels of iron: and the shield-bearer was walking before him.
Monene ya nzete ya likonga na ye ezalaki lokola libaya oyo basali bilamba basalelaka; songe ya likonga yango ezalaki ya bakilo pene sambo. Moto oyo azalaki komema bibundeli na ye azalaki kotambola liboso na ye.
8 And he stood and calleth unto the arrays of Israel, and said unto them, Why will ye come out to put yourselves in battle-array? Behold: I am the Philistine, and ye are servants to Saul! select for yourselves one man, and let him come down to me;
Goliati atelemaki mpe agangelaki mampinga ya Isalaele, alobaki: « Mpo na nini bobimi mpe bosali milongo mpo na bitumba? Ngai nazali moto ya Filisitia te? Mpe bino bozali basali ya Saulo te? Bopona moto moko mpe botika ye koya kobundisa ngai.
9 If he be able to fight with me, and he kill me, then will we be unto you as servants; but if I prevail against him, and kill him, then shall ye be unto us as servants, and ye shall serve us.
Soki akokoka kolonga mpe koboma ngai, wana biso tokokoma bawumbu na bino. Nzokande soki ngai nalongi mpe nabomi ye, wana bino nde bokokoma bawumbu na biso mpe bokosalela biso. »
10 And the Philistine said, I have defied the arrays of Israel this day; give me a man, and let us fight together.
Moto ya Filisitia alobaki lisusu: « Na mokolo ya lelo, nazali kotiola mampinga ya Isalaele. Bopesa ngai moto moko mpo ete nabunda na ye. »
11 When Saul and all Israel heard these words of the Philistine, they were disheartened, and became greatly afraid.
Tango bayokaki maloba ya moto ya Filisitia, Saulo mpe bato nyonso ya Isalaele bakomaki na mawa mpe babangaki.
12 Now David was the son of that Ephrathite of Beth-lechem-judah, whose name was Jesse; and he had eight sons: and the man was old in the days of Saul, belonging to the persons [of high esteem].
Davidi azalaki mwana mobali ya moto moko ya Efrate, oyo kombo na ye ezalaki « Izayi. » Izayi awutaki na Beteleemi ya Yuda mpe azalaki na bana mibali mwambe. Na tango Saulo azalaki mokonzi, Izayi akomaki mobange mpo ete mibu na ye ya mbotama epusanaki makasi.
13 And the three eldest sons of Jesse were gone following Saul to the battle: and the names of his three sons that were gone to the battle were Eliab the first-born, and the next to him Abinadab, and the third Shammah.
Bana mibali misato ya liboso ya Izayi balandaki Saulo na bitumba. Tala bakombo ya bana mibali yango misato oyo balandaki Saulo na bitumba: Eliabi, mwana mobali ya liboso; Abinadabi, mwana mobali ya mibale; mpe Shama, mwana mobali ya misato.
14 And David was the youngest: and the three eldest followed Saul.
Lokola Davidi azalaki leki, mpe wana bana mibali misato ya liboso balandaki Saulo,
15 But David kept going and returning from Saul to feed his father's flocks at Beth-lechem.
Davidi azalaki kokende mpe kozonga wuta na ndako ya Saulo mpo na koleisa bameme ya tata na ye na Beteleemi.
16 And the Philistine drew near morning and evening, and presented himself forty days.
Mikolo tuku minei, moto ya Filisitia azalaki komilakisa, tongo mpe pokwa, liboso ya mampinga ya Isalaele.
17 And Jesse said unto David his son, Take, I pray thee, for thy brothers an ephah of this parched corn, and these ten loaves, and run to the camp to thy brothers;
Izayi alobaki na Davidi, mwana na ye ya mobali: « Zwela bandeko na yo ya mibali bambuma oyo ya ble bakalinga mpe mapa oyo zomi, mpe kende kotikela bango yango na lombangu na molako na bango.
18 And these ten cheeses shalt thou bring unto the captain of the thousand, and inquire of thy brothers how they fare, and take away their pledge.
Mema lisusu ba-fromaje zomi oyo epai ya mokonzi ya limpinga ya basoda nkoto moko, limpinga oyo bango bazali. Tala soki bandeko na yo ya mibali bazali ndenge nini mpe zwa na maboko na bango elembo oyo ekolakisa ngai ete bazali malamu.
19 Now Saul, and they, and all the men of Israel, were in the valley of Elah, fighting with the Philistines.
Bazali na lubwaku ya Terebente elongo na Saulo mpe mibali nyonso ya Isalaele mpo na kobundisa bato ya Filisitia. »
20 And David rose up early in the morning, and gave up the flocks to a keeper, and took, and went, as Jesse had commanded him; and he came to the entrenchment, as the host was going forth in battle-array, and shouted the battle-cry.
Na tongo-tongo ya mokolo oyo elandaki, Davidi atikaki bameme na maboko ya mokengeli moko; akamataki mikumba na ye mpe akendeki, ndenge kaka Izayi ayebisaki ye; akomaki na molako tango mampinga ya Isalaele ezalaki komibongisa na milongo mpo na kobunda bitumba, mpe ezalaki kobeta milolo ya bitumba.
21 And the Israelites and the Philistines put themselves in battle-array, army against army.
Bato ya Isalaele mpe bato ya Filisitia batandamaki mpe batalanaki ngambo na ngambo mpo na kobunda.
22 And David left the articles which he had on him in the hand of the keeper of the baggage, and ran into the array, and came and asked of his brothers after their welfare.
Davidi akitisaki mikumba na ye, apesaki yango na maboko ya mobateli mikumba, akimaki mbangu na esika ya bitumba mpe apesaki bandeko na ye ya mibali mbote.
23 And as he was speaking with them, behold, there came up the champion, Goliath the Philistine, by name, of Gath, out of the battle-arrays of the Philistines, and spoke in accordance with these same words: and David heard it.
Wana Davidi azali kosolola na bango, elombe mobali Goliati, moto ya Filisitia ya Gati, alongwaki na molongo ya mampinga na ye mpe azongelaki koloba ndenge azalaki kosala mikolo nyonso. Davidi azalaki koyoka ye.
24 And all the men of Israel, when they saw the man, fled from before him, and were greatly afraid.
Kasi tango bato nyonso ya Isalaele bamonaki mobali yango, bakimaki liboso na ye na kobanga makasi.
25 And the men of Israel said, Have ye seen this man that is coming forth? for to defy Israel is he coming forth; and it shall be, that the man who killeth him, —him will the king enrich with great riches, and his daughter will he give him, and his father's house will he make free in Israel.
Moko na moko kati na bato ya Isalaele akomaki koloba: « Bozali na bino komona mobali oyo ndenge azali kobima mpo na koya epai na biso? Azali nde koya kotiola Isalaele! Mokonzi akopesa bomengo ebele epai ya moto oyo akoboma ye, akopesa ye mwana na ye ya mwasi na libala mpe akosalela libota ya tata na ye bolamu kati na Isalaele. »
26 And David said to the men that stood by him, thus, What shall be done to the man that may smite yon Philistine, and take away the reproach from Israel? for who is this uncircumcised Philistine, that he should defy the arrays of the living God?
Davidi atunaki mibali oyo bazalaki pembeni na ye: — Eloko nini bakosala na moto oyo akoboma moto ya Filisitia oyo mpe akolongola soni kati na Isalaele? Moto ya Filisitia oyo akatama ngenga te azali nani mpo ete atiola mampinga ya Nzambe na bomoi?
27 And the people spoke to him after this manner, saying, So shall it be done to the man that may smite him.
Lokola bato bazalaki kozongela kaka maloba moko, balobaki na ye: — Tala makambo oyo ekosalemela moto oyo akoboma ye.
28 And Eliab his eldest brother heard when he was speaking unto the men; and Eliab's anger was kindled against David, and he said, Why didst thou come down hither? and with whom hast thou left those few sheep in the wilderness? I know thy presumption, and the wickedness of thy heart; for in order to see the battle art thou come down.
Tango Eliabi, kulutu ya Davidi, ayokaki ye koloba na bato yango, asilikelaki ye makasi mpe atunaki: — Oyaki awa mpo na nini? Mpe na maboko ya nani otikaki mwa bameme na biso kati na esobe? Nayebi ndenge lolendo na yo ezalaka mpe ndenge nini ozalaka mayele mabe. Oyei na yo kaka mpo na kotala bitumba.
29 And David said, What have I now done? It is nothing but a word.
Davidi azongiselaki ye: — Nasali nini? Nakoki kosolola lisusu te?
30 And he turned from him toward another, and spoke after the same manner: and the people made him again a reply after the former manner.
Bongo Davidi abalukaki mpo na kosolola na moto mosusu mpe atunaki kaka likambo moko wana. Mpe bazongiselaki ye ndenge kaka moto ya liboso alobaki na ye.
31 And the words which David had spoken were heard, and they told them in the presence of Saul, who sent for him.
Maloba ya Davidi epanzanaki na lombangu, mpe bayebisaki yango Saulo. Mpe sima na Saulo koyoka yango, abengisaki ye.
32 And David said to Saul, Let no man's heart fail because of him: thy servant will go and fight with this Philistine.
Davidi alobaki na Saulo: — Tika ete moto moko te amilembisa nzoto likolo na moto oyo ya Filisitia. Mosali na yo akokende kobundisa ye.
33 And Saul said to David, Thou art not able to go unto this Philistine to fight with him; for thou art but a lad, and he [hath been] a man of war from his youth.
Kasi Saulo alobaki na Davidi: — Okoki te kokende kobundisa moto wana ya Filisitia! Ozali mwana moke, nzokande ye azali mobundi ya bitumba wuta bolenge na ye.
34 And David said unto Saul, Thy servant was feeding his father's flocks, and there came a lion, and a bear, and bore off a lamb out of the drove;
Davidi azongiselaki Saulo: — Mosali na yo azalaki kobatela bameme ya tata na ye. Tango ngombolo to nkosi ezalaki koya kokamata meme moko kati na etonga,
35 And I went out after him, and smote him, and delivered it out of his mouth: and when he rose up against me, I caught him by his beard, and smote him, and slew him.
nazalaki kolanda mpe kobeta yango, nazalaki kokangola mpe kobotola meme na monoko ya tambwe to ya nkosi yango. Tango ezalaki kobalukela ngai, nazalaki kokanga yango, kobeta mpe koboma yango.
36 Both the lion and the bear did thy servant smite: and this uncircumcised Philistine shall become as one of them; because he hath defied the arrays of the living God.
Lokola mosali na yo abomaki ezala ngombolo to nkosi, akoboma mpe moto ya Filisitia oyo akatama ngenga te lokola moko kati na banyama wana, pamba te atioli mampinga ya Nzambe na bomoi.
37 Moreover David said, The Lord who hath delivered me out of the power of the lion, and out of the power of the bear, will also surely deliver me out of the hand of this Philistine. And Saul said unto David, Go, and may the Lord be with thee.
Yawe oyo akangolaki ngai na manzaka ya ngombolo mpe ya nkosi akokangola ngai na maboko ya moto ya Filisitia oyo. Saulo alobaki na Davidi: — Kende, mpe tika ete Yawe azala elongo na yo.
38 And Saul clothed David with his garments, and he put a helmet of copper upon his head; and he clothed him also with a coat of mail.
Bongo Saulo alatisaki Davidi bibundeli na ye moko: atiaki ye ekoti ya bronze na moto mpe alatisaki ye ebombelo ya tolo.
39 And David girded his sword over his garments, and he essayed to go; for he had not tried it. And David said unto Saul, I cannot walk in these [things]; for I have never tried it before. And David put them off from him.
Na likolo ya elamba ya ebende, Davidi atiaki lisusu, na mokaba na ye, mopanga ya Saulo; mpe amekaki kotambola na yango, pamba te atikalaki nanu komesana na yango te. Davidi alobaki na Saulo: — Nakokoka te kotambola na biloko oyo nyonso, pamba te namesana na yango te! Bongo Davidi alongolaki yango na nzoto na ye.
40 And he took his staff in his hand, and chose himself five smooth stones out of the brook, and put them in the shepherd's pouch which be had, even in a scrip, with his sling in his hand; and he approached to the Philistine.
Asimbaki kaka lingenda na ye na loboko, aponaki mabanga mitano ya moselu kati na moluka ya lubwaku mpe atiaki yango na libenga na ye ya mobateli bibwele; asimbaki ebambelo mabanga na loboko mpe apusanaki epai ya moto ya Filisitia.
41 And the Philistine went and drew nearer and nearer unto David; and the man that bore the shield went before him.
Kaka na tango yango, moto ya Filisitia elongo na moto oyo amemelaki ye nguba bapusanaki pene ya Davidi; moto oyo amemaki nguba nde azalaki liboso.
42 And when the Philistine looked about, and saw David, he disdained him; for he was but a lad, and ruddy, with a fair appearance.
Tango moto ya Filisitia atalaki mpe amonaki Davidi, atiolaki ye; pamba te azalaki na ye kaka mwa elenge mobali oyo azalaki na poso kitoko ya nzoto mpe na elongi kitoko.
43 And the Philistine said unto David, Am I a dog, that thou comest unto me with sticks? And the Philistine cursed David by his gods.
Moto ya Filisitia alobaki na Davidi: — Boni, ngai nazali mbwa mpo ete oya kobundisa ngai na lingenda? Bongo alakelaki Davidi mabe na nzela ya banzambe na ye.
44 And the Philistine said to David, Come to me, and I will give thy flesh unto the fowls of the heavens, and to the beasts of the field.
Moto ya Filisitia alobaki lisusu na Davidi: — Pusana awa, nakopesa mosuni na yo epai ya bandeke ya likolo mpe epai ya banyama ya zamba.
45 Then said David to the Philistine, Thou comest unto me with a sword, and with a spear, and with a javelin; but I come to thee in the name of the Lord of hosts, the God of the arrays of Israel, that thou hast defied.
Davidi alobaki na moto ya Filisitia: — Ozali koya kobundisa ngai na mopanga, na likonga ya monene mpe na likonga ya moke. Kasi ngai nayei kobundisa yo na Kombo na Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, Nzambe ya mampinga ya Isalaele, oyo yo ozali kotiola.
46 This day will the Lord deliver thee into my hand; and I will smite thee, and remove thy head from thee; and I will give the carcasses of the army of the Philistines this day unto the fowls of the air, and to the wild beasts of the earth; and all the earth shall know that there is a God for Israel.
Na mokolo ya lelo, Yawe akokaba yo na maboko na ngai; nakoboma yo mpe nakokata moto na yo. Na mokolo ya lelo kaka, nakopesa bibembe ya mampinga ya Filisitia epai ya bandeke ya likolo mpe epai ya banyama ya mokili; mpe mokili mobimba ekoyeba ete ezali na Nzambe moko kati na Isalaele.
47 And all this assembly shall know that the Lord saveth not through sword and spear; for the battle is the Lord's, and he will give you up into our hand.
Bato nyonso oyo basangani awa bakoyeba ete ezali na mopanga te to na likonga ya monene te nde Yawe abikisaka. Pamba te bitumba ezali ya Yawe, mpe Ye akokaba bino na maboko na biso.
48 And it came to pass, when the Philistine arose, and went and drew nigh to meet David, that David hastened, and ran toward the battle-array to meet the Philistine.
Wana moto ya Filisitia amibongisaki mpo na kokende kobundisa Davidi, Davidi akimaki mbangu na molongo ya liboso ya bitumba mpo na kokutana na moto ya Filisitia.
49 And David put his hand into the pouch, and took thence a stone, and slung it, and he struck the Philistine on his forehead, and the stone sunk into his forehead: and he fell upon his face to the ground.
Davidi akotisaki loboko na ye kati na libenga na ye, azwaki libanga moko mpe abambaki yango na nzela ya ebambelo na ye ya mabanga; abetaki moto ya Filisitia na elongi. Libanga ekotaki kati na elongi ya moto ya Filisitia, mpe akweyaki elongi kino na mabele.
50 So David prevailed over the Philistine with the sling and with the stone, and smote the Philistine, and slew him; but there was no sword in the hand of David.
Boye, Davidi alongaki moto ya Filisitia na nzela ya ebambelo mabanga na ye mpe na nzela ya libanga moko. Davidi abetaki moto ya Filisitia mpe abomaki ye, azalaki ata na mopanga te na loboko na ye.
51 And David ran, and stood by the Philistine, and took his sword, and drew it out of its sheath, and slew him, and cut off his head therewith. And when the Philistines saw that their hero was dead, they fled.
Davidi akimaki mbangu mpe atelemaki na likolo ya moto ya Filisitia, asimbaki mopanga ya moto ya Filisitia, abimisaki yango na ebombelo na yango, abomaki ye, mpe akataki moto na ye na nzela ya mopanga yango. Tango mampinga ya Filisitia bamonaki ete elombe na bango akufi, bakimaki.
52 And then arose the men of Israel and of Judah, and shouted, and pursued the Philistines, until thou comest to the valley, and to the gates of 'Ekron. And the slain of the Philistines fell down by the way to Sha'arayim, even as far as Gath, and up to 'Ekron.
Bato ya Isalaele mpe bato ya Yuda babimaki na mbala moko, bagangaki mpe balandaki bato ya Filisitia kino na ebandeli ya lubwaku mpe kino na bikuke ya Ekroni. Bibembe ya bato ya Filisitia etandamaki na nzela oyo ekenda na Shaarayimi kino na Gati mpe kino na Ekroni.
53 And the children of Israel returned from hotly pursuing after the Philistines, and they spoiled their camps.
Tango bato ya Isalaele batikaki kolanda bato ya Filisitia, bazongaki mpo na kozwa na makasi biloko oyo ezalaki kati na molako ya bato ya Filisitia.
54 And David took the head of the Philistine, and brought it to Jerusalem; but his weapons he placed in his tent.
Davidi azwaki moto ya moto ya Filisitia mpe amemaki yango na Yelusalemi; bongo azwaki bibundeli ya moto ya Filisitia mpe atiaki yango kati na ndako na ye ya kapo.
55 And when Saul saw David going forth against the Philistine, he said unto Abner, the captain of the army, Abner, whose son is this lad? And Abner said, As thy soul liveth, O king, I know it not.
Tango Saulo amonaki Davidi kokende kobundisa moto ya Filisitia, atunaki Abineri, mokonzi ya mampinga: — Elenge mobali oyo azali mwana ya nani? Abineri azongisaki: — Na kombo na yo mokonzi, nayebi te.
56 And the king said, Ask thou whose son this youth is.
Mokonzi alobaki: — Tuna mpo na koyeba soki elenge mobali oyo azali mwana ya nani?
57 And as David returned from smiting the Philistine, Abner took him, and brought him before Saul with the head of the Philistine in his hand.
Tango kaka Davidi azongaki sima na ye koboma moto ya Filisitia, Abineri azwaki ye mpe amemaki ye na liboso ya Saulo. Davidi asimbaki na loboko na ye moto ya moto ya Filisitia.
58 And Saul said to him, Whose son art thou, young man? And David answered, The son of thy servant Jesse the Beth-lechemite.
Saulo atunaki Davidi: — Ozali mwana ya nani? Elenge mobali Davidi azongisaki: — Nazali mwana ya mosali na yo, Izayi, moto ya Beteleemi.
