1 Samuel 17
1 Now the Philistines gathered together their armies to battle; and they were gathered together at Socoh, which belongs to Judah, and camped between Socoh and Azekah, in Ephes 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 Saul and the men of Israel were gathered together, and camped in the Valley of Elah, and set the battle in array against 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 The Philistines stood on the mountain on the one side, and Israel stood on the mountain on the other side: and there was a valley 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 There went out a champion out of the camp of the Philistines, named Goliath, of Gath, whose height was six feet eight inches.
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 on his head, and wore bronze scale-armor. And the weight of the bronze armor was five thousand shekels.
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 bronze armor on his shins, and a bronze javelin was slung over his shoulders.
Na makolo na ye, alataki bitando ya bronze, mpe akangisaki likonga ya bronze na sima ya mokongo na ye.
7 Now the shaft of his spear was like a weaver's beam, and its blade weighed six hundred iron shekels, and his shield bearer went in front of 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 He stood and shouted to the armies of Israel, and said to them, "Why have you come out to set your battle in array? Am I not a Philistine, and you servants to Saul? Choose a man for yourselves, 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 is able to fight with me and kill me, then we will be your servants; but if I prevail against him, and kill him, then you will be our servants, and 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 The Philistine said, "I defy the armies of Israel this day. Give me a man, that we may 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 those words of the Philistine, they were dismayed, and 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 Bethlehem in Judah, whose name was Jesse; and he had eight sons. And in the days of Saul the man was old and advanced in years.
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 The three eldest sons of Jesse had gone after Saul to the battle. And the names of his sons who went to the battle were Eliab, the firstborn, and Abinadab, the second, and Shimeah, the third.
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 David was the youngest; and the three eldest followed Saul.
Lokola Davidi azalaki leki, mpe wana bana mibali misato ya liboso balandaki Saulo,
15 Now David went back and forth from Saul to feed his father's sheep at Bethlehem.
Davidi azalaki kokende mpe kozonga wuta na ndako ya Saulo mpo na koleisa bameme ya tata na ye na Beteleemi.
16 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 Then Jesse said to David, "Now take for your brothers an ephah of this parched grain, and these ten loaves, and carry them quickly to the camp and give them to your 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 bring these ten cheeses to the captain of their thousand, and see how your brothers are doing, and bring back news."
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 So David arose early in the morning and left the flock with a keeper and took and went, as Jesse had commanded him; and he came to the perimeter of the camp as the army was marching out to its battle formation and shouting the war 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 Israel and the Philistines lined up in battle formation, army against army.
Bato ya Isalaele mpe bato ya Filisitia batandamaki mpe batalanaki ngambo na ngambo mpo na kobunda.
22 And David left his supplies in the care of the attendant, and ran to the army and came and greeted his brothers.
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 As he talked with them, look, there came up the champion, the Philistine of Gath, Goliath by name, out of the ranks of the Philistines, and spoke according to the same words: and David heard them.
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 All the men of Israel, when they saw the man, fled from him, and were terrified.
Kasi tango bato nyonso ya Isalaele bamonaki mobali yango, bakimaki liboso na ye na kobanga makasi.
25 The men of Israel said, "Have you seen this man who has come up? He has surely come up to defy Israel. It shall be, that the man who kills him, the king will enrich him with great riches, and will give him his daughter, and make his father's house exempt 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 David spoke to the men who stood by him, saying, "What shall be done to the man who kills this Philistine, and takes away this disgrace from Israel? For who is this uncircumcised Philistine, that he should defy the armies 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 The people answered him in this way, saying, "So shall it be done to the man who kills him."
Lokola bato bazalaki kozongela kaka maloba moko, balobaki na ye: — Tala makambo oyo ekosalemela moto oyo akoboma ye.
28 Eliab his eldest brother heard when he spoke to the men; and Eliab's anger was kindled against David, and he said, "Why have you come down? With whom have you left those few sheep in the wilderness? I know your insolence and the wickedness of your heart; for you have come down that you might see the battle."
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 David said, "What have I now done? Is there not a cause?"
Davidi azongiselaki ye: — Nasali nini? Nakoki kosolola lisusu te?
30 Then he turned away from him toward another, and spoke in the same way, and they gave him an answer as before.
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 When the words that David spoke were overheard, they repeated them before Saul; and he sent for him.
Maloba ya Davidi epanzanaki na lombangu, mpe bayebisaki yango Saulo. Mpe sima na Saulo koyoka yango, abengisaki ye.
32 David said to Saul, "Let not my lord's heart fail because of him. Your 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 Saul said to David, "You are not able to go against this Philistine to fight with him; for you are but a youth, and he 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 David said to Saul, "Your servant was keeping his father's sheep; and when a lion or a bear came, and took a lamb out of the flock,
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 I went out after him, and struck him, and rescued it out of his mouth. When he arose against me, I caught him by his beard, and struck him, and killed 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 Your servant struck both the lion and the bear, and this uncircumcised Philistine shall be as one of them. Should I not go and smite him, and remove this day a disgrace from Israel? For who is this uncircumcised one, since he has defied the armies 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 YHWH who delivered me out of the paw of the lion, and out of the paw of the bear, he will deliver me out of the hand of this Philistine." Saul said to David, "Go; and YHWH shall be with you."
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 he dressed David in a uniform with a bronze helmet on his head, and he clothed him with a coat of armor.
Bongo Saulo alatisaki Davidi bibundeli na ye moko: atiaki ye ekoti ya bronze na moto mpe alatisaki ye ebombelo ya tolo.
39 And David strapped on his sword over his uniform, and after he had tried once or twice to walk, then David said to Saul, "I can't walk with these, for I am not used to them." So they took them off 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 Then he took his staff in his hand and chose for himself five smooth stones from the wadi, and put them in the shepherd's bag, in the pouch. And his sling was in his hand, and he approached 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 So the Philistine moved forward and came near to David, and his shield-bearer was in front of 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 When the Philistine looked and saw David, he despised him, for he was but a youth, and ruddy, and handsome in 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 The Philistine said to David, "Am I a dog, that you come to me with a stick and stones?" And David said, "No, worse than a dog." 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 The Philistine said to David, "Come to me, and I will give your flesh to the birds of the sky, and to the animals 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 David said to the Philistine, "You come to me with a sword, and with a spear, and with a javelin: but I come to you in the name of YHWH of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have 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 Today, YHWH will deliver you into my hand; and I will strike you, and take your head from off you. And I will give your corpse and the corpses of the Philistine army this very day to the birds of the air, and to the wild animals of the earth; that all the earth may know that there is a God in 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 that all this assembly may know that YHWH doesn't save with sword and spear: for the battle is YHWH's, and he will give you 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 It happened, when the Philistine arose, and came and drew near to meet David, that David hurried, and ran toward the army 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 David put his hand in his bag, took a stone, and slung it, and struck the Philistine in his forehead; and the stone sank into his forehead, and he fell on 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 a sling and with a stone, and struck the Philistine, and killed 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 Then David ran and stood beside him, and took his sword and drew it out of its sheath and killed him, and cut off his head with it. When the Philistines saw that their champion 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 The men of Israel and of Judah arose, and shouted, and pursued them as far as Gath, and to the gates of Ekron. The wounded of the Philistines fell down by the way to Shaaraim, even to Gath, and 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 The children of Israel returned from chasing after the Philistines, and they plundered their camp.
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 David took the head of the Philistine, and brought it to Jerusalem; but he put his armor 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 When Saul saw David go out to meet the Philistine, he said to Abner, the commander of the army, "Whose son is that boy?" And Abner said, "As your soul lives, O king, I don't know."
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 The king said, "Inquire whose son that young man is."
Mokonzi alobaki: — Tuna mpo na koyeba soki elenge mobali oyo azali mwana ya nani?
57 As David returned from the slaughter of 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 Saul said to him, "Whose son are you, young man?" David answered, "I am the son of your servant Jesse the Bethlehemite."
Saulo atunaki Davidi: — Ozali mwana ya nani? Elenge mobali Davidi azongisaki: — Nazali mwana ya mosali na yo, Izayi, moto ya Beteleemi.
