1 Samuel 24
1 When Saul returned from chasing the Philistines, he was told, “David is in the wilderness of Engedi.”
Sima na Saulo kolanda bato ya Filisitia, azongaki; bongo bayebisaki ye: « Davidi azali sik’oyo kati na esobe ya Eyini-Gedi. »
2 Then Saul took three thousand chosen men from all Israel and went to seek David and his men on the Rocks of the Wild Goats.
Na bongo, Saulo azwaki basoda ya mpiko nkoto misato kati na Isalaele mobimba mpe akendeki koluka Davidi mpe bato na ye pene ya etando ya bantaba ya zamba.
3 He came to sheep pens on the way, where there was a cave. Saul went inside to cover his feet. Now David and his men were sitting far back in the cave.
Wana Saulo akomaki pene ya etando ya bameme, oyo ezalaki zingazinga ya nzela, amonaki ebombamelo moko ya monene kati na mabanga mpe akotaki kuna mpo na kosala zongo inene. Nzokande Davidi mpe bato na ye bazalaki na suka, kati na ebombamelo yango.
4 David's men said to him, “This is the day of which Yahweh spoke when he said to you, 'I will give your enemy into your hand, for you to do with him as you wish.'” Then David arose and quietly crept forward and cut off the corner of Saul's robe.
Bato ya Davidi balobaki na ye: Tala mokolo oyo Yawe alobelaki tango alobaki na yo: « Nakokaba monguna na yo na maboko na yo mpo ete osala ye nyonso oyo olingi. » Boye Davidi apusanaki na kobombama mpe akataki songe ya kazaka ya Saulo.
5 Afterward David's heart afflicted him because he had cut a corner off Saul's robe.
Sima na yango, Davidi ayokaki motema na ye kobeta mpo ete akataki songe ya kazaka ya Saulo.
6 He said to his men, “May Yahweh forbid that I should do this thing to my master, Yahweh's anointed, to put out my hand against him, seeing he is Yahweh's anointed.”
Alobaki na basoda na ye: « Tika ete Yawe apesa ngai te nzela ya kosala likambo ya boye epai ya nkolo na ngai, mopakolami na Yawe! Loboko na ngai ekoki te kosimba nzoto na ye, pamba te Yawe nde apakolaki ye mafuta. »
7 So David rebuked his men with these words, and did not permit them to attack Saul. Saul stood up, left the cave, and went on his way.
Na maloba oyo, Davidi agangelaki bato na ye mpe apekisaki bango kobundisa Saulo. Saulo abimaki na ebombamelo yango mpe akobaki nzela na ye.
8 Afterward, David also stood up, left the cave, and called out after Saul: “My master the king.” When Saul looked behind him, David bowed with his face to the ground and showed him respect.
Tango Davidi mpe abimaki na ebombamelo yango, abengaki Saulo: « Mokonzi, nkolo na ngai! » Tango Saulo atalaki sima na ye, Davidi akitisaki elongi mpe agumbamaki ye moko, elongi na ye kino na mabele.
9 David said to Saul, “Why do you listen to the men who say, 'See, David is seeking your harm?'
Alobaki na Saulo: — Mpo na nini olandaka maloba ya bato oyo balobaka na yo ete Davidi azalaka na posa ya kosala yo mabe?
10 Today your eyes have seen how Yahweh put you into my hand when we were in the cave. Some told me to kill you, but I spared you. I said, 'I will not put out my hand against my master; for he is Yahweh's anointed.'
Omoni sik’oyo yo moko na miso na yo ndenge nini Yawe akabaki yo na maboko na ngai kati na ebombamelo, kati na mabanga. Bato mosusu batungisaki ngai ete naboma yo, kasi nabikisaki yo. Nalobaki: « Nakosembola te loboko na ngai mpo na kotelemela nkolo na ngai, pamba te azali mopakolami na Yawe. »
11 See, my father, see the corner of your robe in my hand. For the fact that I cut off the corner of your robe and did not kill you, you may know and see that there is no evil or treason in my hand, and I have not sinned against you, even though you hunt my life to take it.
Oh tata na ngai, tala eteni oyo ya kazaka na yo na loboko na ngai! Nakataki songe ya kazaka na yo, kasi nabomaki yo te. Sik’oyo, sosola mpe yeba ete, kati na ngai, mayele mabe mpe botomboki ezali te. Nasalaki na ngai yo mabe te, kasi yo ozali kolanda ngai mpo na koboma ngai.
12 May Yahweh judge between you and me, and may Yahweh avenge me against you, but my hand shall not be against you.
Tika ete Yawe azala Mosambisi kati na ngai mpe yo, mpe tika ete Yawe azongisela yo mabe na mabe oyo osali ngai! Kasi loboko na ngai ekosimba yo te.
13 As the proverb of the ancients says, 'Out of the wicked comes wickedness.' But my hand will not be against you.
Ndenge kaka lisese ya kala elobi: « Misala mabe ewutaka epai ya bato mabe, » loboko na ngai ekosimba yo te.
14 After whom has the king of Israel come out? After whom do you pursue? After a dead dog! After a flea!
Mokonzi ya Isalaele abimi mpo na kobundisa nani? Azali kolanda nani? Mbwa ya kokufa? Nzinzi?
15 May Yahweh be judge and give judgment between you and me, and see to it, and plead my cause and permit me to escape from your hand.”
Tika ete Yawe azala Mosambisi na biso mpe akata likambo kati na biso. Tika ete atala likambo na ngai mpe akata yango! Tika ete alongisa ngai mpe akangola ngai wuta na loboko na yo.
16 When David had finished speaking these words to Saul, Saul said, “Is this your voice, my son David?” Saul lifted up his voice and wept.
Tango Davidi asilisaki koloba na Saulo, Saulo atunaki: — Oyo nazali koyoka ezali solo mongongo na yo Davidi, mwana na ngai? Mpe Saulo alelaki makasi.
17 He said to David, “You are more righteous than I am. For you have repaid me good, where I have repaid you evil.
Alobaki na Davidi: — Ozali penza sembo koleka ngai, pamba te osaleli ngai bolamu, nzokande ngai nasalaki mabe epai na yo!
18 You have declared today how you have done good to me, for you did not kill me when Yahweh had put me at your mercy.
Owuti sik’oyo kotalisa ngai bolamu oyo osaleli ngai: Yawe akabaki ngai penza na maboko na yo, kasi oboyaki na yo koboma ngai.
19 For if a man finds his enemy, will he let him go safely? May Yahweh reward you with good for what you have done to me today.
Boni, soki moto akutani na monguna na ye, akotika ye kokoba kokende na nzela na ye na kimia? Tika ete Yawe afuta yo malamu mpo na bolamu oyo osaleli ngai na mokolo ya lelo.
20 Now, I know that you will surely be king and that the kingdom of Israel will be established in your hand.
Tala, nayebi sik’oyo ete okozala penza mokonzi, mpe bokonzi ya Isalaele ekolendisama na maboko na yo.
21 Swear to me by Yahweh that you will not cut off my descendants after me, and that you will not destroy my name out of my father's house.”
Lapa sik’oyo ndayi epai na ngai na Kombo na Yawe ete okoboma bakitani na ngai te to okolimwisa kombo na ngai te wuta na libota ya botata na ngai.
22 So David made an oath to Saul. Then Saul went home, but David and his men went up to the stronghold.
Boye Davidi alapaki ndayi yango epai ya Saulo. Sima na yango, Saulo azongaki epai na ye. Bongo Davidi mpe bato na ye bazongaki na ebombamelo na bango kati na ngomba.
