1 Samuel 30
1 Three days later, when David and his men arrived at Ziklag, [they discovered that] men of the Amalek people-group had raided Ziklag and [towns in] the southern part of Judah. They had destroyed Ziklag and burned down all the buildings.
Davidi mpe bato na ye bakomaki na Tsikilagi, na mokolo ya misato. Na tango wana mpe, bato ya Amaleki bakotaki na ngambo ya Sude mpe na Tsikilagi. Babundisaki Tsikilagi mpe batumbaki yango.
2 They had captured the women [and the children] and everyone else, and had taken them away. But they had not killed anyone.
Bakangaki na bowumbu basi mpe bato nyonso oyo bazalaki kuna, ezala bilenge to mikolo, kasi babomaki moko te kati na bango. Bamemaki bango mpe bazongelaki nzela na bango.
3 When David and his men came to Ziklag, they saw that the town had been burned, and that their wives and sons and daughters had been captured and taken away.
Tango Davidi mpe bato na ye bakomaki na engumba Tsikilagi, bakutaki yango ebebisama na moto. Basi na bango, bana na bango ya mibali mpe ya basi bakomaki bawumbu.
4 David and his men cried loudly, until [they were so weak that] they could not cry [any more].
Davidi mpe bato na ye balelaki makasi kino bazangaki makasi ya kolela.
5 David’s two wives, Ahinoam and Abigail, had also been taken away.
Bamemaki mpe na bowumbu basi mibale ya Davidi: Ayinoami, moto ya Jizireyeli; mpe Abigayili, moto ya Karimeli, oyo akufisaki mobali, Nabali.
6 David’s men were threatening to [kill him by] throwing stones at him, because they were very angry because their sons and daughters [had been taken away]. David was very distressed, but Yahweh his God gave him strength.
Davidi ayokaki pasi makasi na motema, pamba te bato bazalaki komibongisa mpo na koboma ye na mabanga, mpo ete moto nyonso azalaki na pasi na motema mpo na bana na ye ya mibali mpe ya basi. Kasi Davidi amilendisaki kati na Yawe, Nzambe na ye.
7 David [did not know what to do, so he] said to Abiathar the priest, “Bring to me the sacred vest.” So Abiathar brought it,
Boye Davidi alobaki na Nganga-Nzambe Abiatari, mwana mobali ya Ayimeleki: « Memela ngai efode. » Mpe Abiatari amemelaki ye yango.
8 and David asked Yahweh, “Should I [and my men] pursue the men [who took our families]? Will we [be able to] catch up to them?” Yahweh answered [by means of the stones in Abiathar’s sacred pouch], “Yes, pursue them. You will catch up to them, and you will be able to rescue [your families].”
Bongo Davidi atunaki Yawe: — Nakoki na ngai kolanda lisanga oyo ya miyibi? Nakokoka na ngai kokanga bango? Yawe azongiselaki ye: — Landa bango, okokanga bango solo mpe okokangola bakangami.
9 So David and the 600 men who were with him left, and they came to the Besor Ravine. Some of his men stayed there [with some of their supplies].
Davidi akendeki elongo na basoda na ye, nkama motoba. Bakomaki na moluka ya lubwaku ya Besori epai wapi ba-oyo bazalaki kotikala na sima batelemaki;
10 David and 400 men continued to pursue [the men who captured their families]. The other 200 men stayed there at the ravine, because they were so exhausted that they could not cross the ravine.
pamba te mibali nkama mibale balembaki makasi, bongo bakokaki te kokatisa moluka. Kasi Davidi elongo na basoda na ye, nkama minei, bakobaki kolanda.
11 [As David and the 400 men were going], they saw a man from Egypt in a field; so they took him to David. They gave the man some water to drink and some food to eat.
Basoda ya Davidi bakutanaki na mobali moko ya Ejipito kati na zamba mpe bamemaki ye epai ya Davidi. Bapesaki ye mayi ya komela mpe biloko ya kolia.
12 They also gave him a piece of fig cake and two clusters/packs of raisins. The man had not had anything to eat or drink for three days and nights, but [after he ate and drank] he felt refreshed.
Bapesaki ye gato basala na bambuma ya figi mpe maboke mibale ya bambuma ya vino ekawuka. Sima na ye kolia yango, azwaki lisusu makasi, pamba te aliaki te mpe amelaki te wuta mikolo misato mpe babutu misato.
13 David asked him, “Who is your master? And where do you come from?” He replied, “I am from Egypt. I am a slave of a man from the Amalek people-group. Three days ago my master left me here, because I was sick [and I was not able to go with them].
Davidi atunaki ye: — Ozali na ngambo ya banani mpe owuti wapi? Azongiselaki ye: — Nazali moto ya Ejipito mpe mowumbu ya moto moko ya Amaleki. Esali mikolo misato wuta nkolo na ngai atikalaki kosundola ngai mpo ete nazalaki kobela.
14 We had raided the southern part of Judah where the Kereth people-group live, and some other towns in Judah, and the area south [of Hebron city] where the descendants of Caleb live. We also burned Ziklag [town].”
Tokotaki na ngambo ya Sude ya bato ya Kereti, ya etuka ya Yuda, mpe na ngambo ya Sude ya Kalebi; mpe totumbaki na moto Tsikilagi.
15 David asked him, “Can you lead us to this group of raiders?” He replied, “Yes, [I will do that] if you ask God to listen while you promise that you will not kill me or give me back to my master. If you promise that, I will take you to them.”
Davidi atunaki ye: — Okoki komema ngai na bisika oyo lisanga ya miyibi wana ezali? Azongisaki: — Yo, lapa nanu ndayi epai na ngai liboso ya Nzambe ete okoboma ngai te mpe okozongisa ngai te epai ya nkolo na ngai; bongo ngai nakomema yo epai bango bazali.
16 [David agreed to do that, ] so the man from Egypt led David [and his men] to where the men from the Amalek people-group were. Those men were lying on the ground, eating and drinking and celebrating because of having captured many things from the Philistia and Judah areas.
Boye amemaki Davidi na esika oyo bato ya Amaleki bazalaki. Mpe bamonaki ete bazalaki ya kopanzana na mboka mobimba, bazalaki kolia, komela mpe kobina mpo na ebele ya bomengo ya bitumba oyo babotolaki na mokili ya bato ya Filisitia mpe ya Yuda.
17 David [and his men] fought against them from sunset that day until the evening of the following day. Four hundred of them escaped and rode away on camels, but none of the others escaped.
Davidi alongaki bango kobanda na tongo kino na pokwa ya mokolo oyo elandaki. Moko te abikaki, longola kaka bilenge mibali nkama minei oyo bamataki na likolo ya bashamo mpe bakimaki.
18 David rescued his two wives, and he and his men got back everything else that the men of the Amalek people-group had taken.
Davidi akangolaki biloko nyonso oyo bato ya Amaleki bazwaki elongo na basi na ye mibale.
19 Nothing was missing. They took all their people back [to Ziklag]—young people and old people, [their wives], their sons and their daughters. They also recovered all the other things that the men of the Amalek people-group had taken from Ziklag.
Moto na bango moko te azangaki: ezala elenge, mokolo, mwana mobali, mwana mwasi, eloko moko kati na bomengo ya bitumba to eloko moko kati na biloko oyo babotolaki bango. Davidi azongaki na biloko nyonso.
20 They took with them the sheep and cattle that had been captured, and his men caused those animals to go in front of them, saying, “These are animals that we captured in the battle; they belong to David!”
Davidi akamataki bameme mpe bangombe nyonso. Bato oyo bazalaki kotambola liboso ya bibwele mpo na kolakisa yango nzela bazalaki koloba: « Tala bomengo ya bitumba ya Davidi. »
21 David and his men got back to where the other 200 men were waiting, the men who did not go with David because they were very exhausted. They had stayed at Besor Ravine. [When they saw David and his men coming], they went out to greet them. And David [greeted them and] said to them, “I hope that things are going well with you!”
Bongo Davidi akomaki epai ya mibali nkama mibale oyo bakokaki kolanda ye te mpo ete balembaki makasi, mpe batikaki bango na lubwaku ya Besori. Mibali yango babimaki mpo na koyamba Davidi mpe bato oyo bazalaki elongo na ye. Boye Davidi mpe bato na ye bapusanaki mpe bapesaki bango mbote.
22 But some of the men who had gone with David, men who were evil and troublemakers, said, “These 200 men did not go with us. So we should not give to them any of the things that we recovered/captured. Each of them should take only his wife and children and go [back to their homes].”
Kasi kati na bato oyo bakendeki elongo na Davidi, bato nyonso ya mabe mpe batomboki balobaki: — Lokola bakendeki na biso te, tokoki kokabola na bango te bomengo ya bitumba. Tika ete moto na moto azwa kaka mwasi na ye elongo na bana na ye mpe akende.
23 David replied, “No, my fellow Israelis, it would not be right to divide up like that the things that Yahweh has allowed us to capture. Yahweh has protected us and enabled us to defeat the enemies who attacked our town.
Kasi Davidi alobaki: — Te, bandeko na ngai ya mibali! Bokoki kosala boye te mpo na biloko oyo Yawe apesi biso! Pamba te abateli biso mpe akabi na maboko na biso mampinga nyonso oyo eyaki kobundisa biso.
24 (Who will pay attention to you if you say things like that?/No one will pay attention to you if you say things like that.) [RHQ] The men who stayed here with our supplies will get the same amount that the men who went into the battle will get. They will all receive the same amount.”
Nani akoki kondima bino na makambo oyo bozali koloba? Eteni ya moto oyo atikalaki kokengela biloko mpe eteni ya moto oyo akendeki na bitumba esengeli kozala ndenge moko. Tokokabola nyonso ndenge moko.
25 David made that to be a law [DOU] for the Israeli people, and that is still a law in Israel.
Kobanda mokolo wana kino lelo, Davidi akomisaki yango mobeko mpe malako kati na Isalaele.
26 When David [and all the others] arrived in Ziklag, David sent to his friends who were leaders in Judah some of the things that they had captured from the Amalek people-group. He said to them, “Here is a present for you. These are things that we took from Yahweh’s enemies.”
Tango Davidi akomaki na Tsikilagi, atindaki ndambo ya bomengo ya bitumba epai ya bampaka ya Yuda, oyo bazalaki baninga na ye. Alobaki: « Tala kado mpo na bino kowuta na bomengo ya bitumba ya banguna ya Yawe. »
27 [Here is a list of the cities and towns to whose leaders David sent gifts: ] Bethel, Ramoth in the southern part of Judah, Jattir,
Atindaki ndambo epai ya ba-oyo bazalaki na Beteli, na ngambo ya sude ya Ramoti mpe na Yatiri;
28 Aroer, Siphmoth, Eshtemoa,
mpe epai ya ba-oyo bazalaki na Aroeri, na Sipimoti, na Eshitemoa;
29 Racal, the cities where the descendants of Jehrameel lived and the cities where the Ken people-group lived,
mpe epai ya ba-oyo bazalaki na Rakali, kati na bingumba ya bato ya Yerameeli, ya bato ya Keni;
30 Hormah, Bor-Ashan, Athach,
epai ya ba-oyo bazalaki na Orima, na Bori-Ashani, na Ataki;
31 Hebron, and all the other places where David and his men had gone [when they were hiding from Saul].
epai ya ba-oyo bazalaki na Ebron mpe na bisika nyonso oyo Davidi mpe bato na ye balekaki.
