1 Samuel 26

1 Then the Ziphites came to Saul at Gibeah, saying, "Look, David is hiding himself on the hill of Hakilah, which is near Jeshimon."

Bato ya Zifi bakendeki na Gibea epai ya Saulo, mpe balobaki: « Boni, oyebi ete Davidi abombami na likolo ya Akila, ngomba moke oyo etalani na Yeshimoni? »

2 Then Saul arose, and went down to the wilderness of Ziph, having three thousand chosen men of Israel with him, to seek David in the wilderness of Ziph.

Boye Saulo atelemaki mpo na kokende na esobe ya Zifi elongo na basoda ya mpiko ya Isalaele, nkoto misato, mpo na koluka Davidi kati na esobe ya Zifi.

3 Saul camped on the hill of Hakilah, which is before Jeshimon, near the road. But David stayed in the wilderness, and he saw that Saul came after him into the wilderness.

Saulo atongaki molako na ye na likolo ya Akila, ngomba moke, oyo etalani na Yeshimoni, pembeni ya nzela. Na tango wana, Davidi azalaki kovanda kati na esobe. Lokola amonaki ete Saulo alandi ye kino na esobe,

4 David therefore sent out spies, and understood that Saul had certainly come.

Davidi atindaki banongi mpe, na nzela na bango, ayokaki ete Saulo akomi penza.

5 David arose, and came to the place where Saul had camped; and David saw the place where Saul lay, and Abner the son of Ner, the captain of his army: and Saul lay within the place of the wagons, and the people were camped around him.

Davidi atelemaki mpe akendeki na esika oyo Saulo atongaki molako na ye. Amonaki esika oyo Saulo mpe Abineri, mwana mobali ya Neri, mokonzi ya mampinga na ye, balalaki. Saulo azalaki ya kolala na kati-kati ya molako, mpe basoda bazingelaki ye.

6 Then answered David and said to Ahimelech the Hethite, and to Abishai the son of Zeruiah, brother to Joab, saying, "Who will go down with me to Saul to the camp?" Abishai said, "I will go down with you."

Davidi atunaki Ayimeleki, moto ya Iti, mpe Abishayi, mwana mobali ya Tseruya mpe ndeko mobali ya Joabi: — Nani kati na bino akoki kokende elongo na ngai kino na molako epai ya Saulo? Abishayi azongisaki: — Ngai, nakokende elongo na yo.

7 So David and Abishai came to the people by night: and, look, Saul lay sleeping within the place of the wagons, with his spear stuck in the ground at his head; and Abner and the people lay around him.

Boye Davidi mpe Abishayi bakomaki, na butu, na esika oyo basoda bazalaki. Bakutaki Saulo alali pongi na kati-kati ya molako, mpe likonga na ye epikamaki na mabele, na pembeni ya moto na ye. Abineri mpe basoda balalaki zingazinga na ye.

8 Then Abishai said to David, "God has delivered up your enemy into your hand this day. Now therefore please let me strike him with the spear to the earth at one stroke, and I will not strike him the second time."

Abishayi alobaki na Davidi: — Lelo, Nzambe akabi monguna na yo na maboko na yo. Pesa ngai sik’oyo nzela mpo ete natobola ye kaka mbala moko likonga na ngai mpe apikama na mabele, nakozongela yango te mbala mibale.

9 David said to Abishai, "Do not destroy him; for who can put forth his hand against the LORD's anointed, and be guiltless?"

Kasi Davidi alobaki na Abishayi: — Te! Koboma ye te! Pamba te nani akosembola loboko na ye likolo ya mopakolami na Yawe mpe azanga kozwa etumbu?

10 David said, "As the LORD lives, the LORD will strike him; or his day shall come to die; or he shall go down into battle and perish.

Mpe Davidi alobaki lisusu: — Na Kombo na Yawe! Ye moko Yawe nde akoboma ye: akokufa, ezala soki tango na ye ya kokufa ekoki to soki akokende na bitumba.

11 The LORD forbid that I should put forth my hand against the LORD's anointed; but now please take the spear that is at his head, and the jar of water, and let us go."

Kasi Yawe apekisi ngai kosembola loboko likolo ya mopakolami na Ye. Sik’oyo, zwa kaka likonga mpe eloko ya mayi oyo ezali pembeni ya moto na ye, mpe tokende na biso.

12 So David took the spear and the jar of water at his head, and they went away. And no one saw it or knew about it, nor did any awake. For they were all asleep, because a deep sleep from the LORD had fallen on them.

Boye Davidi azwaki likonga mpe eloko ya mayi oyo ezalaki pembeni ya moto ya Saulo, mpe bakendeki. Moto moko te amonaki mpe ayebaki likambo yango, mpe moko te alamukaki. Bato nyonso bazalaki ya kolala, pamba te Yawe alalisaki bango pongi makasi.

13 Then David crossed over to the other side and stood on the top of the hill some distance away; there was a great distance between them.

Davidi akatisaki lubwaku, akendeki na ngambo mosusu mpe atelemaki mosika, na songe ya ngomba, mosika penza ya molako.

14 And David called to the people, and to Abner, saying, "Will you not answer, Abner?" Then Abner replied, "Who are you that calls?"

Davidi abelelaki epai ya mampinga mpe epai ya Abineri, mwana mobali ya Neri; alobaki: — Abineri, okoyanola ngai? Abineri azongisaki: — Yo nani oyo ozali koganga na matoyi ya mokonzi?

15 David said to Abner, "Aren't you a man? Who is like you in Israel? Why then have you not kept watch over your lord, the king? For one of the people came in to destroy the king your lord.

Davidi alobaki na Abineri: — Ozali mobali, boye te? Nani akokani na yo kati na Isalaele? Mpo na nini obateli te mokonzi, nkolo na yo? Moto moko ayaki mpo na koboma mokonzi na yo.

16 This thing isn't good that you have done. As the LORD lives, you are worthy to die, because you have not kept watch over your lord, the LORD's anointed. Now look, where is the king's spear, and where is the jar of water that was by his head?"

Likambo oyo osali ezali malamu te. Na Kombo na Yawe, yo mpe bato na yo bosengeli kokufa; pamba te bobateli te nkolo na bino, mopakolami na Yawe. Botala zingazinga na bino! Wapi likonga mpe eloko ya mayi ya mokonzi, oyo ezalaki pembeni ya moto na ye?

17 Saul knew David's voice, and said, "Is this your voice, my son David?" David said, "It is my voice, my lord, O king."

Saulo asosolaki ete ezali mongongo ya Davidi mpe alobaki: — Oyo wana ezali mongongo na yo Davidi, mwana na ngai. Davidi azongisaki: — Solo, ezali mongongo na ngai, oh mokonzi, nkolo na ngai.

18 He said, "Why does my lord pursue after his servant? For what have I done? Or what evil is in my hand?

Bongo Davidi alobaki lisusu: — Mpo na nini nkolo na ngai azali kolanda mosali na ye? Nasali nini? Likambo nini ya mabe nasali mpo ete namema ngambo?

19 Now therefore, please let my lord the king hear the words of his servant. If it is so that God has stirred you up against me, let him accept an offering. But if it is from human beings, they are cursed before the LORD; for they have driven me out this day that I shouldn't cling to the LORD's inheritance, saying, 'Go, serve other gods.'

Sik’oyo, tika ete mokonzi, nkolo na ngai, ayoka maloba ya mosali na ye. Soki ezali Yawe nde atindaki yo kotelemela ngai, wana tika ete andima likabo. Kasi soki bato nde bazali kosala boye, wana tika ete balakelama mabe liboso ya Yawe; pamba te babengani ngai lelo mpe balongoli ngai na libula ya Yawe, mpe balobi na ngai: « Kende kosalela banzambe mosusu. »

20 Now therefore, do not let my blood fall to the earth away from the presence of the LORD; for the king of Israel has come out to seek my life, as when one hunts a partridge in the mountains."

Sik’oyo, tika ete makila na ngai esopana na mabele te, mosika na miso ya Yawe! Pamba te mokonzi ya Isalaele abimaki mpo na koluka ngenga kaka moko, ndenge balandaka soso ya zamba, na bangomba.

21 Then Saul said, "I have sinned. Come back, my son David, for I will not harm you, because my life was precious in your eyes this day. Look, I have behaved foolishly, and have made a great mistake."

Boye Saulo alobaki: — Solo, nasali masumu! Davidi, mwana na ngai ya mobali, zonga! Mpo ete omonaki ete bomoi na ngai ezali motuya, nakomeka lisusu te kosala yo mabe. Nasalaki penza lokola moto ya liboma mpe napengwaki.

22 And David answered and said, "Look, the king's spear. Now let one of the young men come over and get it.

Davidi azongisaki: — Likonga ya mokonzi, yango oyo! Tika ete moko kati na bilenge mibali na yo aya kozwa yango.

23 The LORD will render to every man his righteousness and his faithfulness; because the LORD delivered you into my hand today, and I wouldn't put forth my hand against the LORD's anointed.

Yawe oyo afutaka moto nyonso kolanda bosembo mpe boyengebene na ye, akabaki yo na maboko na ngai lelo; kasi naboyaki kosembola loboko na ngai likolo ya mopakolami na Yawe.

24 Look, as your life was respected this day in my eyes, so let my life be respected in the eyes of the LORD, and let him deliver me out of all oppression."

Ndenge bomoi na yo ezalaki lelo motuya makasi na miso na ngai, ndenge wana mpe bomoi na ngai ekozala motuya makasi na miso ya Yawe, mpe akokangola ngai na pasi nyonso.

25 Then Saul said to David, "You are blessed, my son. You will accomplish much, and will surely be successful." So David went his way, and Saul returned to his place.

Saulo alobaki na Davidi: — Tika ete opambolama, Davidi, mwana na ngai ya mobali! Solo, okosala penza makambo minene mpe, solo, okolonga. Bongo Davidi akobaki nzela na ye, mpe Saulo azongaki epai na ye.
