2 Samuel 14
1 Now Joab the son of Zeruiah perceived that the king’s heart was toward Absalom.
Joabi, mwana mobali ya Tseruya, asosolaki ete motema ya mokonzi ekomi na posa ya Abisalomi.
2 And Joab sent to Tekoa, and fetched thence a wise woman, and said unto her, I pray thee, feign thyself to be a mourner, and put on mourning apparel, I pray thee, and anoint not thyself with oil, but be as a woman that had a long time mourned for the dead:
Boye, Joabi atindaki moto moko na mboka Tekoa, mpo na koluka mwasi moko ya bwanya mpe komema ye longwa kuna. Alobaki na ye: « Sala lokola moto oyo azali na matanga, lata bilamba ya matanga, kopakola mafuta te: sala lokola mwasi oyo alata pili wuta mikolo ebele mpo na kolela ebembe;
3 and go in to the king, and speak on this manner unto him. So Joab put the words in her mouth.
mpe kende epai ya mokonzi, yebisa ye maloba oyo. » Joabi ayebisaki maloba oyo asengelaki koloba.
4 And when the woman of Tekoa spake to the king, she fell on her face to the ground, and did obeisance, and said, Help, O king.
Tango mwasi ya mboka Tekoa akomaki epai ya mokonzi, agumbamaki elongi na ye kino na mabele mpe alobaki: — Oh mokonzi, sunga ngai!
5 And the king said unto her, What aileth thee? And she answered; Of a truth I am a widow woman, and mine husband is dead.
Mokonzi atunaki ye: — Eloko nini ezali kotungisa yo? Azongisaki: — Nazali mwasi akufisa mobali; mobali na ngai akufaki.
6 And thy handmaid had two sons, and they two strove together in the field, and there was none to part them, but the one smote the other, and killed him.
Ngai, mwasi mosali na yo, nazalaki na bana mibali mibale. Bango mibale baswanaki kati na bilanga, mpe moto moko te azalaki kuna mpo na kokabola bango. Moko abetaki mosusu mpe abomaki ye.
7 And, behold, the whole family is risen against thine handmaid, and they said, Deliver him that smote his brother, that we may kill him for the life of his brother whom he slew, and so destroy the heir also: thus shall they quench my coal which is left, and shall leave to my husband neither name nor remainder upon the face of the earth.
Sik’oyo, libota mobimba etelemeli mwasi mosali na yo, bazali koloba: « Kaba na maboko na biso ye oyo abetaki ndeko na ye ya mobali mpo ete toboma ye mpo na bomoi ya ndeko na ye ya mobali oyo ye abomaki. Na nzela wana, tokolongola mokitani ya libula. » Na bongo, bakoki koboma mwa likala ya moto oyo natikali na yango mpe kozangisa mobali na ngai kombo mpe bakitani kati na mokili.
8 And the king said unto the woman, Go to thine house, and I will give charge concerning thee.
Mokonzi alobaki na mwasi: — Zonga na ndako na yo, nakopesa mitindo na tina na yo.
9 And the woman of Tekoa said unto the king, My lord, O king, the iniquity be on me, and on my father’s house: and the king and his throne be guiltless.
Kasi mwasi ya mboka Tekoa alobaki na mokonzi: — Oh mokonzi, nkolo na ngai, tika ete ngambo ekweya na moto na ngai mpe na libota ya tata na ngai; kasi tika ete mokonzi mpe kiti na ye ya bokonzi bazala mosika ya likambo oyo.
10 And the king said, Whosoever saith aught unto thee, bring him to me, and he shall not touch thee any more.
Mokonzi alobaki na ye: — Soki moto moko ameki kotombokela yo, yaka na ye epai na ngai, mpe akozongela lisusu te kotungisa yo.
11 Then said she, I pray thee, let the king remember the LORD thy God, that the avenger of blood destroy not any more, lest they destroy my son. And he said, As the LORD liveth, there shalt not one hair of thy son fall to the earth.
Mwasi alobaki: — Tika ete mokonzi alapa ndayi na Kombo na Yawe, Nzambe na ye, ete akopekisa mobukanisi makila mpo ete akoba te kobebisa na koboma mwana na ngai ya mobali, oyo atikali. Mokonzi alobaki: — Na Kombo na Yawe, suki ata moko te ya moto ya mwana na yo ya mobali ekokweya na mabele.
12 Then the woman said, Let thine handmaid, I pray thee, speak a word unto my lord the king. And he said, Say on.
Mwasi yango alobaki: — Tika ete mwasi mosali na yo aloba likambo moko epai ya mokonzi, nkolo na ngai. Mokonzi azongisaki: — Loba!
13 And the woman said, Wherefore then hast thou devised such a thing against the people of God? for in speaking this word the king is as one which is guilty, in that the king doth not fetch home again his banished one.
Mwasi alobaki: — Mpo na nini osali mabongisi ya boye mpo na kotelemela bato ya Nzambe? Wana mokonzi abimisi maloba oyo, ye moko azali komikweyisa te mpo ete azongisi te mwana mobali oyo akimaki na mboka ya bapaya?
14 For we must needs die, and are as water spilt on the ground, which cannot be gathered up again; neither doth God take away life, but deviseth means, that he that is banished be not an outcast from him.
Solo, ndenge bakokaka te kolokota mayi oyo esili kosopana, ndenge mpe biso tosengeli kokufa. Kasi sik’oyo, ezali te mokano ya Nzambe mpo na Abisalomi, pamba te asalaki mabongisi mpo ete moto oyo abungi nzela awumela te mosika na Ye.
15 Now therefore seeing that I am come to speak this word unto my lord the king, it is because the people have made me afraid: and thy handmaid said, I will now speak unto the king; it may be that the king will perform the request of his servant.
Mpe sik’oyo, soki nayei kobimisa maloba oyo epai ya mokonzi, nkolo na ngai, ezali mpo ete bato babangisaki ngai. Yango wana mwasi mosali na yo amilobelaki: « Tika ete naloba na mokonzi, nkolo na ngai. Tango mosusu, akosala kolanda makambo oyo mwasi mosali na ye akosenga.
16 For the king will hear to deliver his servant out of the hand of the man that would destroy me and my son together out of the inheritance of God.
Tango mosusu, mokonzi akondima kokangola mwasi mosali na ye wuta na loboko ya mobali oyo azali koluka kobwaka ngai mpe mwana na ngai ya mobali mosika ya libula oyo Nzambe apesaki biso. »
17 Then thine handmaid said, Let, I pray thee, the word of my lord the king be comfortable: for as an angel of God, so is my lord the king to discern good and bad: and the LORD thy God be with thee.
Mpe sik’oyo, tala makambo oyo mwasi mosali na yo azali koloba: « Tika ete liloba ya mokonzi, nkolo na ngai, epesa ngai bopemi, pamba te mokonzi, nkolo na ngai, azali lokola Anjelu na Nzambe oyo ayebaka kososola mabe mpe malamu. Tika ete Yawe, Nzambe na yo, azala elongo na yo! »
18 Then the king answered and said unto the woman, Hide not from me, I pray thee, aught that I shall ask thee. And the woman said, Let my lord the king now speak.
Mokonzi alobaki na mwasi: — Kobombela ngai te eyano ya likambo oyo nalingi kotuna yo. Mwasi azongisaki: — Tika ete mokonzi, nkolo na ngai, aloba!
19 And the king said, Is the hand of Joab with thee in all this? And the woman answered and said, As thy soul liveth, my lord the king, none can turn to the right hand or to the left from aught that my lord the king hath spoken: for thy servant Joab, he bade me, and he put all these words in the mouth of thine handmaid;
Mokonzi atunaki: — Boni, loboko ya Joabi ezali elongo na yo te na makambo oyo nyonso? Mwasi azongisaki: — Na kombo na yo mokonzi, nkolo na ngai, kati na makambo nyonso oyo mokonzi, nkolo na ngai, awuti koloba, moto moko te akoki kokende, ezala na ngambo ya loboko ya mobali to na ngambo ya loboko ya mwasi. Solo, ezali mosali na yo, Joabi, nde atindaki ngai kosala makambo oyo, mpe ye nde atiaki maloba oyo na monoko na ngai mwasi mosali na yo.
20 to change the face of the matter hath thy servant Joab done this thing: and my lord is wise, according to the wisdom of an angel of God, to know all things that are in the earth.
Mosali na yo, Joabi, asalaki boye mpo na kobongola mpe kokomisa makambo oyo ndenge mosusu. Kasi nkolo na ngai azali na bwanya lokola Anjelu na Nzambe, ayebi makambo nyonso oyo ezali koleka kati na mokili.
21 And the king said unto Joab, Behold now, I have done this thing: go therefore, bring the young man Absalom again.
Mokonzi alobaki na Joabi: — Malamu! Nakosala yango. Kende, zongisa elenge mobali Abisalomi.
22 And Joab fell to the ground on his face, and did obeisance, and blessed the king: end Joab said, Today thy servant knoweth that I have found grace in thy sight, my lord, O king, in that the king hath performed the request of his servant.
Bongo Joabi agumbamaki elongi kino na mabele mpo na kopesa mokonzi lokumu mpe apambolaki ye. Joabi alobaki: — Lelo, mosali na yo asosoli ete azwi ngolu na miso na yo mokonzi, nkolo na ngai, pamba te mokonzi andimi kosala makambo oyo mosali na ye asengi.
23 So Joab arose and went to Geshur, and brought Absalom to Jerusalem.
Bongo Joabi akendeki na Geshuri mpe azongisaki Abisalomi, na Yelusalemi.
24 And the king said, Let him turn to his own house, but let him not see my face. So Absalom turned to his own house, and saw not the king’s face.
Kasi mokonzi alobaki: — Asengeli kokende na ndako na ye; asengeli te komona elongi na ngai. Boye Abisalomi akendeki na ndako na ye, mpe amonaki elongi ya mokonzi te.
25 Now in all Israel there was none to be so much praised as Absalom for his beauty: from the sole of his foot even to the crown of his head there was no blemish in him.
Kati na Isalaele mobimba, ezalaki na moto moko te oyo azalaki kitoko koleka Abisalomi mpe oyo bazalaki kokumisa lokola ye. Azalaki ata na mbeba moko te, banda na moto kino na misapi ya makolo.
26 And when he polled his head, (now it was at every year’s end that he polled it: because [the hair] was heavy on him, therefore he polled it: ) he weighed the hair of his head at two hundred shekels, after the king’s weight.
Na suka ya mibu nyonso, azalaki kokata suki ya moto na ye, mpo ete ezalaki kokoma kilo makasi. Boye tango bazalaki kotia yango na bimekelo, ezalaki na bakilo mibale na bagrame nkama mitano, kolanda ndenge bamekaka kilo kati na ndako ya mokonzi.
27 And unto Absalom there were born three sons, and one daughter, whose name was Tamar: she was a woman of a fair countenance.
Abisalomi azalaki na bana mibali misato mpe mwana moko ya mwasi. Kombo ya mwana na ye ya mwasi ezalaki Tamari, mpe azalaki mwasi moko ya kitoko makasi.
28 And Absalom dwelt two full years in Jerusalem; and he saw not the king’s face.
Abisalomi avandaki na Yelusalemi mibu mibale mpe atikalaki komona te elongi ya mokonzi.
29 Then Absalom sent for Joab, to send him to the king; but he would not come to him: and he sent again a second time, but he would not come.
Bongo Abisalomi abengisaki Joabi mpo ete atinda ye epai ya mokonzi, kasi Joabi aboyaki kokende epai na ye. Abengisaki lisusu Joabi na mbala ya mibale, kasi Joabi aboyaki kaka kokende.
30 Therefore he said unto his servants, See, Joab’s field is near mine, and he hath barley there; go and set it on fire. And Absalom’s servants set the field on fire.
Abisalomi alobaki na basali na ye: « Botala! Elanga ya Joabi ezali pembeni ya elanga na ngai, ezali na bambuma ya orje. Bokende kotia yango moto. » Basali ya Abisalomi batiaki yango moto.
31 Then Joab arose, and came to Absalom unto his house, and said unto him, Wherefore have thy servants set my field on fire?
Joabi akendeki na ndako ya Abisalomi mpe alobaki na ye: — Mpo na nini otie moto na elanga na ngai?
32 And Absalom answered Joab, Behold, I sent unto thee, saying, Come hither, that I may send thee to the king, to say, Wherefore am I come from Geshur? it were better for me to be there still: now therefore let me see the king’s face; and if there be iniquity in me, let him kill me.
Abisalomi azongiselaki Joabi: — Tala, natindelaki yo maloba; nalobaki: « Yaka awa mpo ete natinda yo epai ya mokonzi mpo na kotuna ye: ‹ Mpo na nini nalongwaki na Geshuri? Elingaki kozala malamu mpo na ngai soki natikalaki na ngai kuna. Sik’oyo, nalingi komona elongi ya mokonzi; mpe soki namemaki ngambo na likambo moko, tika ete baboma ngai! › »
33 So Joab came to the king, and told him: and when he had called for Absalom, he came to the king, and bowed himself on his face to the ground before the king: and the king kissed Absalom.
Boye Joabi akendeki epai ya mokonzi mpe ayebisaki ye makambo nyonso. Mokonzi abengisaki Abisalomi, mpe Abisalomi akendeki liboso ya mokonzi, agumbamaki elongi kino na mabele, mpe mokonzi ayambaki ye.
