1 Samuel 18
1 And it comes to pass, when he finishes to speak to Saul, that the soul of Jonathan has been bound to the soul of David, and Jonathan loves him as his own soul.
Tango kaka Davidi asilisaki kosolola na Saulo, Jonatan akangamaki na Davidi mpe alingaki ye lokola ye moko.
2 And Saul takes him on that day, and has not permitted him to return to the house of his father.
Kobanda mokolo wana, Saulo avandisaki Davidi kati na ndako na ye mpe atikaki ye te kozonga na ndako ya tata na ye.
3 And Jonathan makes—David also—a covenant, because he loves him as his own soul,
Jonatan asalaki boyokani elongo na Davidi, pamba te alingaki ye lokola ye moko.
4 and Jonathan strips himself of the upper robe which [is] on him, and gives it to David, and his long robe, even to his sword, and to his bow, and to his girdle.
Jonatan alongolaki kazaka oyo azalaki kolata mpe apesaki yango na Davidi. Apesaki ye mpe bilamba na ye, mopanga na ye, mokaba na ye mpe eloko na ye oyo abetelaka tolotolo.
5 And David goes out wherever Saul sends him; he acted wisely, and Saul sets him over the men of war, and it is good in the eyes of all the people, and also in the eyes of the servants of Saul.
Lokola Davidi azalaki penza kosala malamu mosala nyonso oyo Saulo azalaki kotinda ye na bisika nyonso, Saulo akomisaki ye mokonzi monene ya basoda. Bato nyonso elongo na basali ya Saulo bazalaki kosepela na ye.
6 And it comes to pass, in their coming in, in David’s returning from striking the Philistine, that the women come out from all the cities of Israel to sing—also the dancers—to meet Saul the king, with tambourines, with joy, and with three-stringed instruments;
Sima na Davidi koboma moto ya Filisitia, tango basoda bazalaki kozonga wuta na bitumba, basi babimaki wuta na bingumba nyonso ya Isalaele mpo na kokende koyamba mokonzi Saulo, na banzembo ya esengo mpe na mabina, na milolo ya esengo, na bambunda mike mpe na bangonga.
7 and the women answer—those playing, and say, “Saul has struck among his thousands, And David among his myriads.”
Basi bazalaki kobina mpe koyemba boye: « Saulo abomaki bankoto, mpe Davidi abomaki bankoto zomi. »
8 And it is exceedingly displeasing to Saul, and this thing is evil in his eyes, and he says, “They have given myriads to David, and they have given the thousands to me, and what more [is there] for him but the kingdom?”
Maloba ya banzembo yango epesaki Saulo kanda makasi. Amilobelaki: « Soki batangi motango ya nkoto zomi mpo na Davidi, mpe motango ya nkoto moko mpo na ngai, elingi koloba ete etikali na ye kaka kozwa bokonzi! »
9 And Saul is eyeing David from that day and from then on.
Kobanda mokolo wana, Saulo akomaki kotala Davidi miso mabe.
10 And it comes to pass, on the next day, that the spirit of sadness [from] God prospers over Saul, and he prophesies in the midst of the house, and David is playing with his hand, as [he did] day by day, and the javelin [is] in the hand of Saul,
Mokolo oyo elandaki, molimo moko ya mabe kowuta na Nzambe ekitelaki Saulo, mpe akomaki kotuntuka kati na ndako na ye, wana Davidi azalaki kobeta lindanda na ye ndenge azalaki kosala mikolo nyonso. Saulo asimbaki likonga na ye na loboko.
11 and Saul casts the javelin and says, “I strike through David, even through the wall”; and David turns around out of his presence twice.
Mbala moko, Saulo abwakaki likonga na ye na koloba: « Nakobamba Davidi na mir. » Kasi Davidi akimaki ye mbala mibale.
12 And Saul is afraid of the presence of David, for YHWH has been with him, and He has turned aside from Saul;
Saulo abangaki Davidi, pamba te Yawe azalaki elongo na Davidi kasi atikaki Saulo.
13 and Saul turns him aside from him, and appoints him to himself [for] head of one thousand, and he goes out and comes in, before the people.
Mpo na yango, Saulo alongolaki Davidi pembeni na ye mpe akomisaki ye mokonzi ya basoda nkoto moko. Boye Davidi akomaki kotambolisa basoda na bitumba na bango.
14 And David is acting wisely in all his ways, and YHWH [is] with him,
Na nyonso oyo azalaki kosala, Davidi azalaki kolonga, pamba te Yawe azalaki elongo na ye.
15 and Saul sees that he is acting very wisely, and is afraid of him,
Tango Saulo amonaki ete Davidi azali kolonga mingi, abangaki ye.
16 and all Israel and Judah love David when he is going out and coming in before them.
Kasi Isalaele mobimba mpe Yuda mobimba bazalaki kolinga Davidi mpo ete azalaki kotambolisa bango na bitumba na bango.
17 And Saul says to David, “Behold, my elder daughter Merab—I give her to you for a wife; only, be for a son of valor to me, and fight the battles of YHWH”; and Saul said, “Do not let my hand be on him, but let the hand of the Philistines be on him.”
Saulo alobaki na Davidi: — Tala Merabi, mwana na ngai ya liboso ya mwasi! Nakopesa yo ye na libala soki kaka osali epai na ngai lokola soda ya mpiko mpe obundi bitumba ya Yawe. Nzokande Saulo azalaki komilobela: « Tika ete loboko na ngai eboma ye te, kasi ezala nde loboko ya bato ya Filisitia. »
18 And David says to Saul, “Who [am] I? And what [is] my life—the family of my father in Israel—that I am son-in-law of the king?”
Davidi azongiselaki Saulo: — Ngai nazali nani, libota na ngai nde nini, etuka ya tata na ngai nde nini kati na Isalaele mpo ete nakoma bokilo ya mokonzi?
19 And it comes to pass, at the time of the giving of Merab daughter of Saul to David, that she has been given to Adriel the Meholathite for a wife.
Boye, tango ngonga ya kobalisa Merabi, mwana mwasi ya Saulo, epai ya Davidi ekokaki, Saulo abalisaki ye epai ya Adriyeli, moto ya Meola.
20 And Michal daughter of Saul loves David, and they declare [it] to Saul, and the thing is right in his eyes,
Nzokande Mikali, mwana mwasi ya Saulo, azalaki kolinga Davidi. Mpe tango bayebisaki Saulo likambo yango, asepelaki makasi.
21 and Saul says, “I give her to him, and she is for a snare to him, and the hand of the Philistines is on him”; and Saul says to David, “By the second—you become my son-in-law today.”
Boye Saulo amilobelaki: « Nakobalisa Mikali epai ya Davidi, mpo ete azala motambo mpo na ye, mpe ete loboko ya bato ya Filisitia ekanga ye Davidi. » Boye Saulo alobaki na Davidi: « Ozwi sik’oyo libaku ya mibale ya kokoma bokilo na ngai. »
22 And Saul commands his servants, “Speak to David gently, saying, Behold, the king has delighted in you, and all his servants have loved you, and now, be son-in-law of the king.”
Bongo Saulo apesaki mitindo epai ya basali na ye: « Bosolola na Davidi na nkuku mpe boyebisa ye: ‹ Tala ndenge nini mokonzi azali kosepela na yo, mpe basali na ye nyonso balingi yo! Koma na yo sik’oyo bokilo na ye! › »
23 And the servants of Saul speak these words in the ears of David, and David says, “Is it a light thing in your eyes to be son-in-law of the king—and I a poor man, and lightly esteemed?”
Basali ya Saulo bazongelaki maloba oyo epai ya Davidi, kasi Davidi alobaki: « Bokanisi ete kokoma bokilo ya mokonzi ezali likambo ya pete? Kaka ngai oyo nazali mobola mpe moto pamba! »
24 And the servants of Saul declare [it] to him, saying, “David has spoken according to these words.”
Basali ya Saulo bayebisaki ye maloba ya Davidi.
25 And Saul says, “Thus you say to David, There is no delight for the king in dowry, but in one hundred foreskins of the Philistines—to be avenged on the enemies of the king”; and Saul thought to cause David to fall by the hand of the Philistines.
Saulo alobaki: « Boloba na Davidi ete mokonzi asengi mbongo ya libala te, kasi bangenga nkama moko ya nzoto ya mibali kati na bato ya Filisitia mpo na kozongisa mabe na mabe epai ya banguna na ye. » Makanisi ya Saulo ezalaki ya komona Davidi kokweya na maboko ya bato ya Filisitia.
26 And his servants declare these words to David, and the thing is right in the eyes of David, to be son-in-law of the king; and the days have not been full,
Tango basali bayebisaki Davidi makambo yango, Davidi asepelaki kokoma bokilo ya mokonzi. Boye liboso ete tango oyo bakataki ekoka,
27 and David rises and goes, he and his men, and strikes two hundred men among the Philistines, and David brings in their foreskins, and they set them before the king, to be son-in-law of the king; and Saul gives his daughter Michal to him for a wife.
Davidi elongo na mampinga na ye babimaki mpe babomaki mibali nkama mibale kati na bato ya Filisitia. Davidi amemaki bangenga na bango, mpe batangaki motango na yango liboso ya mokonzi mpo ete Davidi akoma bokilo ya mokonzi. Boye Saulo apesaki na libala Mikali, mwana na ye ya mwasi, epai ya Davidi.
28 And Saul sees and knows that YHWH [is] with David, and Michal daughter of Saul has loved him,
Tango Saulo amonaki mpe asosolaki ete Yawe azali elongo na Davidi, mpe ete mwana na ye ya mwasi, Mikali, alingaka Davidi,
29 and Saul adds to be afraid of the presence of David still; and Saul is an enemy of David [for] all the days.
Saulo akomaki lisusu kobanga Davidi makasi, mpe akomaki monguna na ye na mikolo ya bomoi na ye, oyo etikalaki.
30 And the princes of the Philistines come out, and it comes to pass from the time of their coming out, David has acted more wisely than any of the servants of Saul, and his name is very precious.
Bakonzi ya basoda ya Filisitia bakobaki kobima mpo na kobunda; mpe tango nyonso bazalaki kosala yango, Davidi azalaki kolonga, koleka bakonzi mosusu ya basoda ya Saulo. Boye kombo na ye ekendeki sango.
