2 Samuel 19
1 And it was told Joab, —Lo! the king, is weeping and mourning over Absolom.
Sango ekomelaki Joabi na koloba: « Mokonzi azali kolela mpe asali matanga mpo na Abisalomi. »
2 So the victory, on that day, was turned into mourning, with all the people, —for the people heard, on that day, saying, The king is distressed for his son.
Mokolo wana, elonga ebongwanaki matanga mpo na bato nyonso, pamba te bato bayokaki na mokolo wana sango koloba: « Mokonzi azali na mawa makasi mpo na mwana na ye ya mobali. »
3 And the people stole away, on that day, to go into the city, —as people steal away who are put to shame, when they flee in battle.
Na mokolo wana kaka, bato bazongaki na nkuku kati na engumba lokola mampinga oyo bazali koyoka soni mpo ete bakimi na bitumba.
4 But, the king, muffled his face, and the king made outcry, with a loud voice, —O my son Absolom, O Absolom, my son, my son!
Mokonzi azipaki elongi mpe alelaki makasi: « Oh mwana na ngai ya mobali, Abisalomi! Oh mwana na ngai ya mobali, Abisalomi! Mwana na ngai ya mobali! »
5 Then came Joab unto the king, in the house, —and said—Thou hast, to-day, covered with shame the faces of all thy servants, who have rescued thy life to-day, and the lives of thy sons and thy daughters, and the lives of thy wives, and the lives of thy concubines;
Joabi akendeki kokuta mokonzi kati na ndako mpe alobaki na ye: « Lelo, oyokisi bato na yo nyonso soni, bato oyo bawuti kobikisa bomoi na yo, bomoi ya bana na yo ya mibali mpe ya basi, bomoi ya basi na yo mpe bomoi ya bamakangu na yo.
6 by loving them who hated thee, and hating them who loved thee, —for thou hast declared, to-day, that, nothing to thee, are princes or servants, for I perceive, to-day, that, if, Absolom, had lived, and, all we, to-day had died, that, then, it had been right in thine eyes.
Olingaka bato oyo bayinaka yo mpe oyinaka bato oyo balingaka yo. Lelo penza, otalisi yango polele ete bakonzi ya basoda mpe basoda na bango bazali pamba na miso na yo. Namoni ete olingaki kosepela lelo soki Abisalomi azalaki na bomoi mpe soki biso nyonso tokufaki.
7 Now, therefore, rise—go forth, and speak unto the heart of thy servants, —for, by Yahweh, have I sworn, that, if thou do not go forth, not a man shall tarry with thee to-night, and this will be to thee, a greater misfortune, than all the misfortune that hath come upon thee from thy youth until now.
Sik’oyo, bima mpe pesa longonya na basoda na yo. Nalapi ndayi na Kombo na Yawe ete soki obimi te, soda moko te akotikala elongo na yo kino butu eya. Ekozala mpo na yo pasi, koleka makama nyonso oyo ekweyela yo wuta na bolenge na yo kino lelo. »
8 So the king arose, and took his seat in the gate, —and, to all the people, was it told, saying—Lo! the king, is sitting in the gate. Then came all the people before the king, but, Israel, had fled every man to his home.
Boye mokonzi atelemaki mpe avandaki na ekuke. Bongo tango bayebisaki basoda ete mokonzi avandi na ekuke, bango nyonso bayaki pene na ye. Mpe na tango wana, bana ya Isalaele bakimaki moto na moto na ndako na ye.
9 And it came to pass that all the people were reproaching one another, throughout all the tribes of Israel, saying, —the king, delivered us out of the hand of our enemies, and, he, rescued us out of the hand of the Philistines, but, now, he hath fled out of the land, away from Absolom;
Kati na bikolo ya Isalaele, bato bazalaki kotiana tembe mpe koloba: « Mokonzi oyo akangolaki biso na maboko ya banguna na biso, bato ya Filisitia, ye nde sik’oyo akimi mokili likolo ya Abisalomi;
10 and, Absolom, whom we anointed over us, hath died in the battle. Now, therefore, why are, ye, silent as to bringing back the king?
mpe Abisalomi oyo topakolaki mafuta mpo ete akamba biso asili kokufa na bitumba. Boye mpo na nini bozali koloba eloko te mpo na kozongisa mokonzi na Yelusalemi? »
11 And, King David, sent unto Zadok and unto Abiathar the priests, saying, Speak ye unto the elders of Judah, saying, Wherefore should ye be behindhand, in bringing back the king unto his home, —seeing that, the speech of all Israel, hath come unto the king, regarding his home?
Mokonzi Davidi atindaki sango epai ya Banganga-Nzambe Tsadoki mpe Abiatari: « Botuna na bampaka ya Yuda: mpo na nini bosengeli kozala bato ya suka mpo na kozongisa mokonzi na ndako na ye, pamba te makambo oyo ezali kolobama kati na Isalaele mobimba esili kokoma na matoyi ya mokonzi?
12 Mine own brethren, are ye, my bone and my flesh, are ye, —wherefore then should ye be behindhand in bringing back the king?
Bozali bandeko na ngai ya mibali, nzoto na ngai mpe makila na ngai. Bongo mpo na nini kozala bato ya suka mpo na kozongisa mokonzi?
13 And, unto Amasa, shall ye say, Art not, thou, my bone and my flesh? So, let God do to me, and, so, let him add, if thou become not, prince of the army, before me continually, instead of Joab.
Mpe boloba na Amasa: ‹ Ozali mosuni na ngai mpe makila na ngai te? Tika ete Nzambe apesa ngai etumbu ya makasi ndenge alingi soki banda sik’oyo okomi te mokonzi ya mampinga na ngai na esika ya Joabi mpo na libela. › »
14 Thus bowed he the heart of all the men of Judah, as one man, —and they sent unto the king, Return, thou, and all thy servants.
Makambo oyo Davidi alobaki ekotaki na mitema ya bato nyonso ya Yuda lokola moto moko. Boye batindaki maloba epai ya mokonzi mpo na koloba na ye: « Zonga, yo elongo na basali na yo nyonso. »
15 Then the king returned, and came as far as the Jordan, —and, Judah, came to Gilgal, to go and meet the king, to escort the king over the Jordan.
Mokonzi azongaki mpe akomaki kino na Yordani. Bato ya Yuda bayaki na Giligali mpo na kokende kokutana na mokonzi mpe kokatisa ye mayi ya Yordani.
16 Then hastened Shimei, son of Gera, the Benjamite, who was of Bahurim, —and came down, with the men of Judah, to meet King David.
Shimei, mwana mobali ya Gera, moto ya ekolo ya Benjame ya Bawurimi, akendeki mbangu elongo na bato ya Yuda mpo na kokutana na mokonzi Davidi.
17 And, a thousand men, were with him, out of Benjamin, Ziba also, servant of the house of Saul, and his fifteen sons and twenty servants, with him, —and they went through the Jordan, before the king.
Azalaki elongo na bato ya Benjame, nkoto moko, mpe Tsiba, moto oyo azalaki kosala kati na libota ya Saulo, elongo na bana na ye ya mibali zomi na mitano mpe basali na ye, tuku mibale. Bakendeki mbangu na Yordani epai wapi mokonzi azalaki.
18 But the ferry-boat kept crossing, to bring over the household of the king, and to do what was good in his eyes. And, Shimei, son of Gera, fell down before the king, when he had passed over the Jordan;
Bamataki na bwato mpo na kokatisa libota ya mokonzi mpe mpo na kosala nyonso oyo ezali malamu na miso ya mokonzi. Tango Shimei, mwana mobali ya Gera, akatisaki Yordani, akweyaki liboso ya mokonzi
19 and he said unto the king—Let not my lord impute to me iniquity, neither do thou remember the perverseness of thy servant, on the day that thou wentest out, my lord O king, from Jerusalem, that the king should lay it upon his heart.
mpe alobaki na ye: « Tika ete nkolo na ngai atangela ngai ngambo te, akanisa te mabe oyo mosali na ye asalaki mokolo oyo mokonzi, nkolo na ngai, alongwaki na Yelusalemi. Tika ete mokonzi alongola likambo yango na makanisi na ye.
20 For thy servant doth know, that, I, sinned, —lo! therefore, I have arrived to-day, as the first of all the house of Joseph, to come down to meet my lord the king.
Pamba te ngai, mosali na yo, nayebi ete nasalaki masumu, mpe lelo nayei awa lokola moto ya liboso kati na libota mobimba ya Jozefi mpo na kokutana na mokonzi, nkolo na ngai. »
21 Then responded Abishai, son of Zeruiah, and said, For this, shall not Shimei be put to death, for that he cursed the Anointed of Yahweh?
Abishayi, mwana mobali ya Tseruya, alobaki: — Boni, Shimei asengelaki te kokufa mpo na likambo oyo, pamba te alakelaki mabe mopakolami na Yawe?
22 But David said, What have I in common with you, ye sons of Zeruiah, for ye would become to me, to-day, a very traitor! Shall there, to-day, be put to death a man in Israel? for do I not know, that, to-day, I, am king over Israel?
Davidi azongisaki: — Likambo nini kati na ngai mpe bino bana mibali ya Tseruya? Bokomi lelo banguna na ngai! Boni, basengeli koboma moto moko lelo kati na Isalaele? Nayebi te ete ngai nde nazali lelo mokonzi ya Isalaele?
23 Then said the king unto Shimei—Thou shalt not die. And the king sware to him.
Bongo mokonzi alobaki na Shimei: — Okokufa te. Mpe mokonzi alakaki Shimei na nzela ya ndayi.
24 And, Mephibosheth, son of Saul, came down to meet the king, —he had neither dressed his feet, nor trimmed his beard, nor, his clothes, had he washed, from the day the king departed, until the day that he entered in peace.
Mefibosheti, koko ya Saulo, akendeki mpe kokutana na mokonzi. Banda mokolo oyo mokonzi abimaki kino azongaki, Mefibosheti atikalaki kosukola makolo na ye te, akataki mandefu te mpe asukolaki bilamba na ye te.
25 And it came to pass, when he entered Jerusalem to meet the king, that the king said unto him, Wherefore wentest thou not with me, Mephibosheth.
Tango akomaki na Yelusalemi mpo na kokutana na mokonzi, Davidi atunaki ye: — Mefibosheti, mpo na nini okendeki te elongo na ngai?
26 And he said, My lord, O king, my servant, betrayed me, —for thy servant said—I will even saddle me mine ass, that I may ride thereon, and go with the king, for, lame, is thy servant.
Mefibosheti azongisaki: — Mokonzi, nkolo na ngai, mosali na ngai akosaki ngai. Pamba te lokola ngai, mosali na yo, nazali na mbeba na makolo, namilobelaki: « Nakosenga ete babongisela ngai ane na ngai, mpe nakomata yango mpo ete nakende elongo na mokonzi. »
27 And he hath slandered thy servant, unto my lord the king, —but, my lord the king, is as a messenger of God, do therefore what is good in thine own eyes.
Kasi Tsiba, mosali na ngai, akosaki ngai. Akoselaki mosali na yo makambo epai ya mokonzi, nkolo na ngai. Mokonzi, nkolo na ngai, azali lokola Anjelu na Nzambe. Boye sala sik’oyo makambo oyo omoni ete ezali malamu.
28 For, when all the house of my father were nothing better than dead men, unto my lord the king, then didst thou set thy servant among them that used to eat at thy table, —what then have I further, by way of right, or to cry out any further unto the king?
Pamba te na makanisi ya mokonzi, nkolo na ngai, esengelaki koboma bato nyonso ya libota ya koko na ngai, Saulo; kasi atako bongo, ondimaki mosali na yo na mesa, kati na bato oyo bazali kolia elongo na yo. Boye makoki nini nakoki lisusu kozala na yango ya kosenga eloko epai ya mokonzi?
29 Then the king said unto him, Wherefore shouldst thou speak any further of thine affairs? I have said—Thou and Ziba, shall share the land.
Mokonzi alobaki na ye: — Mpo na nini maloba ebele boye? Nasili kopesa mitindo ete yo mpe Tsiba bokabola bilanga.
30 And Mephibosheth said unto the king, Even the whole, let him take, —now that my lord the king hath entered, in peace, into his own house.
Mefibosheti alobaki na ye: — Lokola mokonzi, nkolo na ngai, azongi mobimba na ndako na ye, tika ete akamata na ye ata nyonso.
31 And, Barzillai the Gileadite, came down from Rogelim, —and passed, with the king, over the Jordan, to escort him over the Jordan.
Barizilayi, moto ya Galadi, awutaki na Rogelimi mpo na kokatisa ebale Yordani elongo na mokonzi mpe kotika ye kokoba mobembo na ye.
32 Now, Barzillai, was very aged, eighty years old, —and, he himself, had sustained the king, throughout his sojourn in Mahanaim, for he was, an exceeding great man.
Nzokande, Barizilayi akomaki mobange, azalaki na mibu tuku mwambe, mpe ezalaki ye nde asungaki mokonzi na mikolo nyonso oyo mokonzi avandaki na Maanayimi, pamba te azalaki moto ya bozwi mingi.
33 So then the king said unto Barzillai, —Thou, come over with me, and I will sustain thee with me, in Jerusalem.
Mokonzi alobaki na Barizilayi: — Katisa elongo na ngai mpe vanda epai na ngai na Yelusalemi, mpe ngai nakosunga yo.
34 But Barzillai said unto the king, —Like unto what, are the days of the years of my life, that I should come up with the king, to Jerusalem.
Kasi Barizilayi azongiselaki mokonzi: — Natikali na mibu boni mpo ete nakende elongo na mokonzi na Yelusalemi?
35 Eighty years old, am I to-day—could I discern between good and bad? or could thy servant taste what I might eat, and what I might drink? or could I hearken any more to the voice of singing men and singing women? Wherefore, then, should thy servant yet be a burden unto my lord the king?
Nazali sik’oyo na mibu tuku mwambe. Boni, nakoki na ngai lisusu kokesenisa malamu mpe mabe? Mosali na yo akoki koyoka lisusu elengi ya biloko oyo azali kolia mpe komela? Nakoki lisusu koyoka mongongo ya bayembi ya mibali mpe ya basi? Bongo mpo na nini mokonzi, nkolo na ngai, akoki lisusu komitungisa mpo na mosali na yo?
36 Just a little way, will thy servant pass over the Jordan with the king, —but wherefore should the king recompense me with this reward?
Mosali na yo akokatisa Yordani elongo na mokonzi mpo na mwa tango moke kaka. Kasi mpo na nini mokonzi akoki kopesa ngai lifuti ya boye?
37 Let thy servant, I pray thee, turn back again, that I may die in mine own city, by the grave of my father, and my mother. But here is thy servant Chimham—let him pass over with my lord the king, and do unto him that which may be good in thine eyes.
Nabondeli yo, tika ete mosali na yo azonga mpo na kokufa na engumba na ngai pene ya kunda ya tata mpe mama na ngai! Kasi tala mwana na ngai ya mobali, mosali na yo, Kimeami. Tika ete akende elongo na mokonzi, nkolo na ngai, mpe salela ye makambo oyo yo omoni ete ezali malamu.
38 Then said the king, With me, shall Chimham pass over, and, I, will do unto him that which shall be good in thine eyes, —and, whatsoever thou shalt choose to lay upon me, I will do for thee.
Mokonzi azongisaki: — Tika ete Kimeami akende elongo na ngai, mpe ngai nakosalela ye makambo oyo ezali malamu na miso na yo. Nakosalela ye nyonso oyo akosenga ngai.
39 And, when all the people had passed over the Jordan, then, the king, passed over, —and the king kissed Barzillai, and blessed him, and he returned unto his own place.
Sima na bato nyonso kokatisa ebale Yordani, mokonzi mpe akatisaki. Bongo mokonzi apesaki Barizilayi beze mpe apambolaki ye. Mpe Barizilayi azongaki na ndako na ye.
40 And the king passed over to Gilgal, and, Chimham, passed over with him, —and, all the people of Judah, escorted the king, yea moreover, half the people of Israel.
Tango mokonzi akatisaki na Giligali, Kimeami mpe akatisaki elongo na ye. Bato nyonso ya Yuda mpe ndambo ya mabota ya Isalaele balekisaki mokonzi.
41 Then lo! all the men of Israel, were coming unto the king, —and they said unto the king—Why did our brethren the men of Judah steal thee away, and escort the king and his household over the Jordan, and all the men of David with him?
Kasi na mbala moko, bato nyonso ya Isalaele bayaki epai ya mokonzi mpe balobaki na ye: — Mpo na nini bandeko na biso, bato ya Yuda, bazwaki yo na kobombama? Mpo na nini balekisaki mokonzi na ebale Yordani, elongo na libota na ye mpe bato nyonso ya Davidi elongo na ye?
42 And all the men of Judah made answer unto the men of Israel—Because the king is, near of kin, unto us, wherefore, then, is it, that ye are angry over this matter? Have we, eaten, at the king’s cost? or hath he, bestowed any gifts, on us?
Bato nyonso ya Yuda bazongiselaki bato ya Isalaele: — Tosalaki bongo, pamba te mokonzi azali ndeko na biso ya mosika te. Bongo mpo na nini kosilika na tina na yango? Boni, tobikaki bomoi na biso mpo na mokonzi? Tozwaki ata eloko moko mpo na biso?
43 And the men of Israel answered the men of Judah, and said—Ten parts, have we in the king, therefore, even in David, have we more right than ye. Why, then, made ye light of us, so that our word was not heard first as to bringing back our king? And, the words of the men of Judah, were fiercer than, the words of the men of Israel.
Bato ya Isalaele bazongiselaki bato ya Yuda: — Tozali na makoki kati na mokonzi koleka mbala zomi, mpe biso nde tozali na makoki mingi koleka bino na tina na Davidi. Mpo na nini bozali komona biso lokola bato pamba. Tozalaki bato ya liboso te na koluka ndenge nini kozongisa mokonzi na biso? Kasi bato ya Yuda bazongiselaki bato ya Isalaele na maloba makasi.
