1 Samuel 19
1 And Saul spoke to Jonathan his son, and to all his servants, that he would kill David. But Jonathan the son of Saul delighted greatly in David.
Saulo ayebisaki mabongisi na ye ya koboma Davidi epai ya mwana na ye, Jonatan, mpe epai ya basali na ye nyonso. Nzokande Jonatan, mwana mobali ya Saulo, azalaki kolinga Davidi makasi.
2 And Jonathan told David, saying, Saul my father seeketh to kill thee; now therefore, I pray thee, take heed to thyself in the morning, and abide in a secret place, and hide thyself:
Jonatan ayebisaki Davidi: « Tata na ngai, Saulo, azali koluka libaku ya koboma yo. Nabondeli yo, lobi na tongo, zala penza na ekenge! Kende na yo komibomba mpe vanda kuna.
3 And I will go out and stand by the side of my father in the field where thou art, and I myself will speak of thee to my father; and I will see what it is, and I will tell thee.
Ngai nakobima mpe nakozala elongo na tata na ngai kati na zamba epai wapi yo okozala. Nakoloba na tina na yo epai ya tata na ngai, nakoluka koyeba makambo ndenge ezali mpe nakoyebisa yo. »
4 And Jonathan spoke favorably of David unto Saul his father, and said unto him, Let not the king sin against his servant, against David; since he hath not sinned against thee, and because his deeds are very good for thee;
Jonatan alobaki malamu na tina na Davidi epai ya tata na ye, Saulo: « Tika ete mokonzi asala mabe te na mosali na ye, Davidi, pamba te asali yo mabe te. Yo nde kutu moto ozwi lisungi monene na makambo oyo ye asali.
5 And he did put his life in his hand, and he slew the Philistine, and the Lord wrought a great salvation for all Israel; thou sawest it, and wast rejoiced: wherefore then wilt thou commit sin on innocent blood, by slaying David without a cause?
Andimaki kobungisa bomoi na ye tango abomaki moto ya Filisitia, mpe, na mokolo yango, Yawe azwaki elonga monene mpo na Isalaele mobimba. Omonaki yango mpe osepelaki na yango makasi. Sik’oyo, mpo na nini olingi na yo kosala lisumu na tina moko te, na koboma moto lokola Davidi oyo asali na ye likambo te? »
6 And Saul hearkened unto the voice of Jonathan: and Saul swore, As the Lord liveth, he shall not be put to death.
Saulo ayokaki Jonatan mpe alapaki ndayi boye: « Na Kombo na Yawe, bakoboma Davidi te. »
7 And Jonathan called David, and Jonathan told him all these words. And Jonathan brought David to Saul, and he was in his presence, as in times past.
Bongo Jonatan abengaki Davidi mpe ayebisaki ye makambo nyonso oyo basololaki na tata na ye. Jonatan amemaki Davidi epai ya Saulo, mpe Davidi asalelaki Saulo lokola na ebandeli.
8 And the war occurred again: and David went out, and fought with the Philistines, and smote them with a great defeat, and they fled from before him.
Lokola bitumba ezongelaki, Davidi abimaki mpo na kobundisa bato ya Filisitia mpe alongaki bango na elonga monene, mpe bato ya Filisitia bakimaki liboso na ye.
9 And the evil spirit from the Lord came upon Saul, and he was sitting in his house with his spear in his hand; and David was playing with his hand.
Kasi molimo moko ya mabe kowuta na Yawe ekitelaki Saulo, wana avandaki kati na ndako na ye mpe asimbaki likonga na loboko na ye. Lokola Davidi azalaki kobeta lindanda,
10 And Saul sought to strike David through with the spear even to the wall; but he slipped away from before Saul, who struck the spear into the wall: and David fled, and escaped that night.
Saulo alukaki koboma ye na nzela ya likonga na ye. Kasi Davidi akimaki ye, mpe likonga ekotaki na mir. Na butu wana, Davidi alongaki kokima mpe abikaki.
11 But Saul sent messengers unto David's house, to watch him, and to slay him in the morning; and Michal his wife told it to David, saying, If thou save not thy life this night, tomorrow thou wilt be put to death.
Saulo atindaki mibali kozonga na ndako ya Davidi mpo na kokengela ye mpe koboma ye na tongo. Kasi mwasi na ye, Mikali, ayebisaki ye: « Soki okimi te na pokwa ya lelo mpo na kobatela bomoi na yo, bakoboma yo lobi! »
12 And Michal let David down through the window: and he went, and fled, and escaped.
Boye Mikali akitisaki Davidi na nzela ya lininisa, mpe Davidi akimaki mpe abikaki.
13 And Michal took an image, and put it in the bed, and a pillow of goats' hair she put for its head to rest on, and covered it with a cloth.
Bongo Mikali azwaki nzambe ya ekeko oyo ezalaki na lolenge ya moto; alalisaki yango na mbeto, afinikaki yango elamba mpe atiaki yango bapwale ya bantaba na moto.
14 And when Saul sent messengers to take David, she said, He is sick.
Tango Saulo atindaki bato kokanga Davidi, Mikali alobaki: « Azali kobela. »
15 And Saul sent the messengers to see David, saying, Bring him up to me in the bed, that I may put him to death.
Saulo azongisaki bato mpo ete batala Davidi mpe alobaki na bango: « Bomemela ngai ye na mbeto na ye mpo ete naboma ye. »
16 And when the messengers were come in, behold, there was an image in the bed, with a pillow of goats' hair for its head to rest on.
Kasi tango mibali bakotaki, bamonaki, na likolo ya mbeto, nzambe ya ekeko oyo ezalaki lokola moto mpe ezalaki na bapwale ya bantaba na moto na yango.
17 And Saul said unto Michal, Why hast thou thus deceived me, and sent away my enemy, that he is escaped? And Michal said to Saul, He said unto me, Let me go away: why should I kill thee?
Saulo alobaki na Mikali: — Mpo na nini oyokisi ngai soni mpe okimisi monguna na ngai, mpe sik’oyo abiki? Mikali alobaki na Saulo: — Davidi alobaki na ngai: « Tika ngai nakima, noki te nakoboma yo. »
18 So David fled, and escaped, and came unto Samuel to Ramah, and he told him all that Saul had done to him. And he and Samuel went and remained in Nayoth.
Tango Davidi akimaki mpe amibikisaki, akendeki epai ya Samuele, na Rama, mpe ayebisaki ye makambo nyonso oyo Saulo asalaki ye. Bongo ye mpe Samuele bakendeki kovanda na Nayoti, pene ya Rama.
19 And it was told unto Saul, saying, Behold, David is at Nayoth near Ramah.
Sango ekomaki epai ya Saulo: « Davidi azali na Nayoti ya Rama. »
20 And Saul sent messengers to take David; and when they saw the company of the prophets prophesying, and Samuel standing as superintendent over them: then came upon the messengers of Saul the spirit of God, and they also prophesied.
Saulo atindaki bato kokende kokanga Davidi. Kasi tango bamonaki lisanga ya basakoli kosakola mpe Samuele atelemi wana lokola mokambi na bango, Molimo na Nzambe akitelaki bato oyo Saulo atindaki, mpe bakomaki bango mpe kosakola.
21 And when it was told to Saul, he sent other messengers, and these prophesied likewise. And Saul sent again messengers the third time, and these also prophesied.
Sango ekomaki epai ya Saulo, mpe ye atindaki bato mosusu; kasi bango mpe basakolaki. Saulo atindaki bato mosusu na mbala ya misato, kasi bango mpe basakolaki.
22 Then went he himself also to Ramah, and came as far as the great well that is in Sechu: and he asked and said, Where are Samuel and David? And some one said, Behold, they are at Nayoth near Ramah.
Sima, ye moko Saulo akendeki na Rama mpe akomaki na libulu monene ya mayi, na Seku. Atunaki: — Samuele mpe Davidi bazali wapi? Bazongiselaki ye: — Bazali na Nayoti ya Rama.
23 And he went thither to Nayoth near Ramah: and there came upon him also the Spirit of God, and he went on, and prophesied as he went, until he came to Nayoth near Ramah.
Boye Saulo akendeki na Nayoti ya Rama. Kasi ye mpe, wana azalaki kokoba nzela na ye, Molimo na Nzambe akitelaki ye, mpe akomaki kosakola kino akomaki na Nayoti ya Rama.
24 And he also stripped off his clothes, and he also prophesied himself before Samuel, and lay down naked all that day and all that night. Therefore people are in the habit of saying, Is Saul too among the prophets?
Ye mpe alongolaki bilamba na ye mpe asakolaki liboso ya Samuele; akweyaki mpe atikalaki bolumbu mokolo yango mobimba mpe butu mobimba. Yango wana bato batunaka: « Boni, Saulo mpe azali moko kati na basakoli? »
