2 Samuel 15
1 And it came to pass, after this, that Absolom prepared him chariots and horses, —and fifty men, to run before him.
Na tango wana, Abisalomi azwaki shar, bampunda mpe basoda tuku mitano oyo bazalaki kotambola liboso na ye lokola bakengeli na ye.
2 And Absolom used to rise up early, and take his stand beside the way of the gate, —and so it was—when any man who had a controversy would come unto the king for judgment, then Absalom called unto him, and said: Of what city, art, thou? And he said, Of one of the tribes of Israel, is thy servant. And Absolom said unto him,
Abisalomi azalaki kolamuka na tongo makasi mpe azalaki kokende kotelema pembeni ya nzela oyo ekenda na ekotelo ya engumba. Bongo, tango nyonso moto azalaki koleka mpo na kokende epai ya mokonzi mpo ete akatela ye likambo, ye Abisalomi azalaki kobenga ye mpe kotuna ye: — Ozali moto ya engumba nini? Soki moto yango azongisi: — Mosali na yo azali moto ya moko kati na bikolo ya Isalaele.
3 See! thy cause, is good and right, —but, to hear it, thou hast no one, from the king.
Abisalomi azalaki koloba na ye: — Tala, likambo na yo ezali malamu mpe sembo; kasi ezali na moto moko te oyo akoki koyoka yo epai ya mokonzi.
4 And Absalom said, Oh would that I were appointed to judge in the land! that, unto me, might come every man having a complaint or a defence, then would I see him righted.
Abisalomi azalaki kobakisa: — Ah! Soki nazalaki mosambisi kati na mokili oyo, moto nyonso oyo azali na likambo alingaki koya epai na ngai, mpe nalingaki kolongisa ye na likambo yango!
5 Moreover, so it used to be, that, when any man came near to do him homage, he would put forth his hand, and lay hold of him, and kiss him.
Mpe tango nyonso moto azalaki kopusana mpo na kogumbama liboso na ye Abisalomi, Abisalomi azalaki kopesa loboko, koyamba mpe kopesa ye beze.
6 And Absolom did, after this manner, to all Israel who came for judgment, unto the king, —so Absolom stole away the heart of the men of Israel.
Azalaki kosala bongo epai ya bato nyonso ya Isalaele oyo bazalaki kokende epai ya mokonzi mpo ete akata likambo na bango, mpe ezalaki bongo nde Abisalomi azalaki komikotisa na mayele kati na mitema ya bato ya Isalaele.
7 And it came to pass, at the end of forty years, that Absolom said unto the king—Let me go, I pray thee, that I may pay my vow which I have vowed unto Yahweh, in Hebron;
Sima na mibu minei, Abisalomi alobaki na mokonzi: — Pesa ngai nzela mpo ete nakende na Ebron mpo na kokokisa ndayi oyo nalapaki epai na Yawe,
8 for thy servant vowed, a vow, while I abode in Geshur in Syria, saying, —If Yahweh, will but bring me back, unto Jerusalem, then will I serve Yahweh,
pamba te tango mosali na yo azalaki kovanda na Geshuri kati na Siri, nalapaki ndayi oyo: « Soki Yawe azongisi ngai na Yelusalemi, nakogumbamela Ye. »
9 And the king said unto him—Go and prosper! So he arose and went to Hebron.
Mokonzi alobaki na ye: — Kende na kimia. Boye akendeki na Ebron.
10 And Absolom sent spies throughout all the tribes of Israel, saying, —When ye hear the sound of the horn, then shall ye say, Absolom hath become king in Hebron!
Mpe longwa kuna, Abisalomi atindaki bantoma kati na bikolo nyonso ya Isalaele mpo na koloba: « Tango kaka bokoyoka lokito ya kelelo, boloba: ‹ Abisalomi akomi mokonzi kati na Ebron. › »
11 And, with Absolom, went two hundred men, out of Jerusalem, who, having been bidden, were going in their simplicity, —neither knew they anything.
Mibali nkama mibale babengisamaki wuta na Yelusalemi mpe bakendeki elongo na Abisalomi. Bakendeki na boboto mpe bayebaki ata likambo moko te.
12 And Absalom sent and called Ahithophel the Gilonite, David’s counsellor, out of his city, out of Gilo, when he was offering sacrifices, —and so it was that the conspiracy was strong, and, the people, went on multiplying with Absolom.
Wana Abisalomi azalaki kobonza mbeka, abengisaki Ayitofeli, moto ya Gilo, mopesi toli ya Davidi, wuta na engumba na ye ya Gilo. Boye, likita ya batomboki ekomaki makasi; mpe lisanga ya Abisalomi ekomaki na bato ebele.
13 Then came one bearing tidings unto David, saying, —It hath come about, that the heart of the men of Israel goeth after Absolom.
Ntoma moko ayaki koyebisa Davidi: — Mitema ya bato ya Isalaele esangani elongo na Abisalomi.
14 Then said David, to all his servants who were with him in Jerusalem—Arise and let us flee, or we shall have no way of escape from the face of Absolom, —make speed to depart, lest he make speed, and so overtake us, and bring down misfortune upon us, and smite the city with the edge of the sword.
Davidi alobaki na bakalaka na ye nyonso oyo bazalaki na Yelusalemi: — Boya! Tosengeli kokima, soki te moko te kati na biso akobika liboso ya Abisalomi. Tosengeli kobima na lombangu, soki te akoya na lombangu kokanga biso, kobebisa biso mpe koboma engumba na mopanga.
15 And the king’s servants said unto the king, —According to all that my lord the king shall choose, here are thy servants.
Bakalaka ya mokonzi bazongiselaki Davidi: — Basali na yo bazali ya kobongama mpo na kosala makambo nyonso oyo mokonzi, nkolo na biso, akopona.
16 So the king went forth, with all his household attending him, —but the king left ten women who were concubines, to keep the house.
Mokonzi akendeki na makolo elongo na libota na ye mobimba oyo ezalaki kolanda ye; kasi atikaki bamakangu zomi mpo na kobatela ndako na ye.
17 Thus then the king went forth, with all the people attending him, —and they came to a stand at a place that was far off.
Boye mokonzi akendeki na makolo elongo na bato na ye nyonso oyo bazalaki kolanda ye mpe batelemaki pene ya ndako ya suka ya engumba.
18 And, all his servants, were passing on beside him, and all the Cherethites, and all the Pelethites, —and, all the Gittites—six hundred men, who had accompanied him from Gath, —were passing on before the king.
Basoda na ye nyonso bazalaki kotambola na bapembeni na ye elongo na bato nyonso ya Kereti mpe ya Peleti. Mpe bato nyonso ya Gati, nkama motoba, oyo batambolaki elongo na ye longwa na Gati, bazalaki kotambola liboso ya mokonzi.
19 Then said the king, unto Ittai the Gittite, Wherefore shouldest, thou also, go with us? return and abide with the king, for, a stranger, art thou, moreover also, an exile, art thou from thine own country.
Mokonzi alobaki na Itayi, moto ya Gati: — Mpo na nini yo mpe olingi koya elongo na biso? Zonga mpe vanda elongo na Abisalomi, mokonzi ya sika! Ozali mopaya, otikaki mboka na yo mpo na koya kokima awa.
20 Only yesterday, camest thou, and, today, shall I let thee wander with us, on our journey, seeing that, I, am going, whithersoever I may? Return and take back thy brethren with thee, and may Yahweh deal with thee in lovingkindness and faithfulness.
Oyaki mpe kaka lobi oyo ewuti koleka, bongo ndenge nini, lelo, namema yo elongo na biso wana nayebi kutu te epai nini nazali kokende? Zonga mpe zwa bato ya mboka na yo! Tika ete bolamu mpe boyengebene ya Yawe ezala elongo na yo!
21 But Ittai answered the king, and said, —By the life of Yahweh, and by the life of my lord the king, surely, in whatsoever place, my lord the king, may be, whether for death or for life, there will, thy servant, be.
Itayi azongiselaki mokonzi: — Na Kombo na Yawe mpe na kombo ya mokonzi, nkolo na ngai, mosali na yo akozala bipai nyonso oyo mokonzi, nkolo na ngai, akozala, ezala mpo na bomoi to mpo na kufa.
22 Then said David unto Ittai—Go, and pass on. So Ittai the Gittite passed on, with all his men, and all the little ones that were with him.
Davidi alobaki na Itayi: — Malamu! Leka liboso mpe tambola! Boye Itayi, moto ya Gati, atambolaki liboso elongo na basoda nyonso mpe mabota oyo ezalaki elongo na ye.
23 And, fall the land, was weeping, with a loud voice, and, all the people, were passing on, —the king also, was passing on, through the torrent-bed of Kidron, and all the people were passing on over the face of the way leading to the wilderness.
Tango bato nyonso bazalaki koleka, mboka mobimba ezalaki kolela makasi. Mokonzi akatisaki lubwaku ya Sedron, mpe bato nyonso bakendeki na nzela oyo ekenda na esobe.
24 And lo! Zadok also, and all the Levites with him, were bearing the ark of the covenant of God, and they set down the ark of God, and Abiathar went up, until all the people had made an end of passing over out of the city.
Tsadoki mpe azalaki wana elongo na Balevi oyo bazalaki elongo na ye mpe bamemaki Sanduku ya Boyokani ya Nzambe. Bakitisaki Sanduku ya Nzambe, mpe Abiatari abonzaki mbeka kino tango bato nyonso basilisaki kobima na engumba.
25 Then said the king unto Zadok, Take back the ark of God into the city, —if I find favour in the eyes of Yahweh, then will he bring me back, and let me see both him and his habitation,
Mokonzi alobaki na Tsadoki: — Zongisa Sanduku ya Nzambe kati na engumba. Soki nazwi ngolu na miso ya Yawe, akozongisa ngai mpe akopesa ngai nzela ya komona lisusu Sanduku yango mpe ndako na yango.
26 but, if thus, he say, I have no delight in thee, here I am, let him do unto me as may be good in his eyes.
Kasi soki Nzambe alobi: « Nasepeli na yo te, » wana tika ete asala epai na ngai makambo oyo amoni ete ezali malamu, pamba te nazali ya kobongama.
27 And the king said, unto Zadok the priest, Art thou not, a seer? return into the city, in peace, —and Ahimaaz thine own son, and Jonathan son of Abiathar—your two sons, with you.
Mokonzi alobaki lisusu epai ya Nganga-Nzambe Tsadoki: — Ozali momoni makambo te? Zonga na kimia na engumba elongo na Ayimaatsi, mwana na yo ya mobali, mpe Jonatan, mwana mobali ya Abiatari. Yo mpe Abiatari, bozwa mpe bomema bana na bino mibale ya mibali.
28 See! I, am tarrying in the waste plains of the wilderness—until there come word from you, to tell me.
Nakozela na bitando ya esobe kino nakoyoka liloba kowuta epai na bino.
29 So Zadok and Abiathar took back the ark of God to Jerusalem, —and abode there.
Boye Tsadoki mpe Abiatari bazongisaki Sanduku ya Nzambe, na Yelusalemi, mpe batikalaki kuna.
30 Now, David, was going up by the ascent of Olivet, weeping as he went up, with his head covered, himself, passing on barefoot, —and all the people who were with him, covered every man his head, and went up, weeping as they went.
Kasi Davidi azalaki komata ngomba ya banzete ya olive na kolela, moto na ye ya kozipama mpe makolo ngulu. Bato nyonso oyo bazalaki elongo na ye bazipaki bango mpe mito na bango mpe bazalaki kolela wana bazalaki komata.
31 And, unto David, it was told, saying, Ahithophel, is among the conspirators with Absolom. And David said, Turn to foolishness, I pray thee, the counsel of Ahithophel, O Yahweh.
Bayaki koyebisa Davidi ete Ayitofeli azali kati na bato oyo basalaki likita elongo na Abisalomi. Boye Davidi asambelaki: « Eh Yawe, sala ete batoli ya Ayitofeli ezanga tina. »
32 And it came to pass, when David reached the summit, where he bowed himself down unto God, that lo! there met him, Hushai the Archite, his tunic rent, and earth upon his head.
Tango Davidi akomaki na songe ya ngomba epai wapi bato bazalaki na momesano ya kokende kogumbamela Nzambe, Ushayi, moto ya Ariki, mopesi toli ya Davidi, azalaki kuna mpo na kokutana na ye, na nzambala na ye epasuka mpe moto na ye etonda na putulu.
33 And David said unto him, —If thou pass over with me, then shalt thou become unto me, a burden;
Davidi alobaki na ye: — Soki okeyi elongo na ngai, okozala mokumba mpo na ngai.
34 but, if, to the city, thou return, then canst thou say unto Absolom—Thy servant, I, O king, will be, as, the servant of thy father, I was formerly, so will I, now, be thy servant: thus shalt thou frustrate for me the counsel of Ahithophel.
Kasi soki ozongi na engumba mpe olobi na Abisalomi: « Nakozala mosali na yo, oh mokonzi! Kala, nazalaki mosali ya tata na yo, kasi sik’oyo, nakozala mosali na yo, » wana okosunga ngai na kobebisa toli ya Ayitofeli.
35 And hast thou not, with thee, there Zadok and Abiathar the priests? so then it shall be, that, what thing soever thou shalt hear out of the house of the king, thou shalt tell to Zadok and to Abiathar, the priests.
Lokola Banganga-Nzambe Tsadoki mpe Abiatari bakozala kuna elongo na yo, okoyebisa bango makambo nyonso oyo okoyoka na ndako ya mokonzi.
36 Lo! they have there with them, their two sons, Ahimaaz for Zadok, and Jonathan for Abiathar, —so shall ye send, by their hand, unto me, everything which ye shall hear.
Bana na bango ya mibali mibale, Ayimaatsi, mwana mobali ya Tsadoki, mpe Jonatan, mwana mobali ya Abiatari, bazali mpe kuna elongo na bango. Okotinda bango mpo ete baya koyebisa ngai makambo nyonso oyo okoyoka.
37 So Hushai, David’s friend, went into the city, —when, Absolom, was about to enter Jerusalem.
Boye Ushayi, moninga ya Davidi, azongaki na engumba, kaka na tango oyo Abisalomi mpe akotaki kati na Yelusalemi.
