1 Samuel 26
1 The Ziphites came to Saul at Gibeah and said, “Is not David hiding in the hill of Hakilah, which is before Jeshimon?”
Bato ya Zifi bakendeki na Gibea epai ya Saulo, mpe balobaki: « Boni, oyebi ete Davidi abombami na likolo ya Akila, ngomba moke oyo etalani na Yeshimoni? »
2 Then Saul arose and went down to the wilderness of Ziph, having three thousand chosen men of Israel with him, to seek David in the wilderness of Ziph.
Boye Saulo atelemaki mpo na kokende na esobe ya Zifi elongo na basoda ya mpiko ya Isalaele, nkoto misato, mpo na koluka Davidi kati na esobe ya Zifi.
3 Saul camped on the hill of Hakilah, which is before Jeshimon, by the road. But David was staying in the wilderness, and he saw that Saul was coming after him into the wilderness.
Saulo atongaki molako na ye na likolo ya Akila, ngomba moke, oyo etalani na Yeshimoni, pembeni ya nzela. Na tango wana, Davidi azalaki kovanda kati na esobe. Lokola amonaki ete Saulo alandi ye kino na esobe,
4 So David sent out spies and learned that Saul had indeed come.
Davidi atindaki banongi mpe, na nzela na bango, ayokaki ete Saulo akomi penza.
5 David arose and went to the place where Saul had camped; he saw the place where Saul lay, and Abner son of Ner, the general of his army; Saul lay in the camp, and the people were camped around him, all asleep.
Davidi atelemaki mpe akendeki na esika oyo Saulo atongaki molako na ye. Amonaki esika oyo Saulo mpe Abineri, mwana mobali ya Neri, mokonzi ya mampinga na ye, balalaki. Saulo azalaki ya kolala na kati-kati ya molako, mpe basoda bazingelaki ye.
6 Then David said to Ahimelech the Hittite, and to Abishai son of Zeruiah, the brother of Joab, “Who will go down with me to Saul in the camp?” Abishai said, “I! I will go down with you.”
Davidi atunaki Ayimeleki, moto ya Iti, mpe Abishayi, mwana mobali ya Tseruya mpe ndeko mobali ya Joabi: — Nani kati na bino akoki kokende elongo na ngai kino na molako epai ya Saulo? Abishayi azongisaki: — Ngai, nakokende elongo na yo.
7 So David and Abishai went to the army by night. Saul was there sleeping inside the camp with his spear stuck in the ground beside his head. Abner and his soldiers lay around him.
Boye Davidi mpe Abishayi bakomaki, na butu, na esika oyo basoda bazalaki. Bakutaki Saulo alali pongi na kati-kati ya molako, mpe likonga na ye epikamaki na mabele, na pembeni ya moto na ye. Abineri mpe basoda balalaki zingazinga na ye.
8 Then Abishai said to David, “Today God has put your enemy into your hand. Now please let me pin him to the ground with the spear with just one blow. I will not strike him a second time.”
Abishayi alobaki na Davidi: — Lelo, Nzambe akabi monguna na yo na maboko na yo. Pesa ngai sik’oyo nzela mpo ete natobola ye kaka mbala moko likonga na ngai mpe apikama na mabele, nakozongela yango te mbala mibale.
9 David said to Abishai, “Do not destroy him; for who can extend his hand against Yahweh's anointed one and be guiltless?”
Kasi Davidi alobaki na Abishayi: — Te! Koboma ye te! Pamba te nani akosembola loboko na ye likolo ya mopakolami na Yawe mpe azanga kozwa etumbu?
10 David said, “As Yahweh lives, Yahweh will kill him, or his day will come to die, or he will go into battle and perish.
Mpe Davidi alobaki lisusu: — Na Kombo na Yawe! Ye moko Yawe nde akoboma ye: akokufa, ezala soki tango na ye ya kokufa ekoki to soki akokende na bitumba.
11 May Yahweh forbid that I should extend my hand against his anointed one; but now, I beg you, take the spear that is at his head and the jar of water, and let us go.”
Kasi Yawe apekisi ngai kosembola loboko likolo ya mopakolami na Ye. Sik’oyo, zwa kaka likonga mpe eloko ya mayi oyo ezali pembeni ya moto na ye, mpe tokende na biso.
12 So David took the spear and the jar of water from Saul's head, and they got away. No one saw them or knew about it, nor did anyone wake up, for they were all asleep, because a deep sleep from Yahweh had fallen on them.
Boye Davidi azwaki likonga mpe eloko ya mayi oyo ezalaki pembeni ya moto ya Saulo, mpe bakendeki. Moto moko te amonaki mpe ayebaki likambo yango, mpe moko te alamukaki. Bato nyonso bazalaki ya kolala, pamba te Yawe alalisaki bango pongi makasi.
13 Then David went over to the other side and stood on the top of the mountain far off; a great distance was between them.
Davidi akatisaki lubwaku, akendeki na ngambo mosusu mpe atelemaki mosika, na songe ya ngomba, mosika penza ya molako.
14 David shouted out to the people and to Abner son of Ner; he said, “Do you not answer, Abner?” Then Abner answered and said, “Who are you who is shouting to the king?”
Davidi abelelaki epai ya mampinga mpe epai ya Abineri, mwana mobali ya Neri; alobaki: — Abineri, okoyanola ngai? Abineri azongisaki: — Yo nani oyo ozali koganga na matoyi ya mokonzi?
15 David said to Abner, “Are not you a courageous man? Who is like you in Israel? Why then have you not kept watch over your master the king? For someone came in to kill the king your master.
Davidi alobaki na Abineri: — Ozali mobali, boye te? Nani akokani na yo kati na Isalaele? Mpo na nini obateli te mokonzi, nkolo na yo? Moto moko ayaki mpo na koboma mokonzi na yo.
16 This thing you have done is not good. As Yahweh lives, you deserve to die because you have not kept watch over your master, Yahweh's anointed one. Now see where the king's spear is and the jar of water that was near his head!”
Likambo oyo osali ezali malamu te. Na Kombo na Yawe, yo mpe bato na yo bosengeli kokufa; pamba te bobateli te nkolo na bino, mopakolami na Yawe. Botala zingazinga na bino! Wapi likonga mpe eloko ya mayi ya mokonzi, oyo ezalaki pembeni ya moto na ye?
17 Saul recognized David's voice and said, “Is that your voice, my son David?” David said, “It is my voice, my master, king.”
Saulo asosolaki ete ezali mongongo ya Davidi mpe alobaki: — Oyo wana ezali mongongo na yo Davidi, mwana na ngai. Davidi azongisaki: — Solo, ezali mongongo na ngai, oh mokonzi, nkolo na ngai.
18 He said, “Why does my master pursue his servant? What have I done? What evil is in my hand?
Bongo Davidi alobaki lisusu: — Mpo na nini nkolo na ngai azali kolanda mosali na ye? Nasali nini? Likambo nini ya mabe nasali mpo ete namema ngambo?
19 Now therefore, I beg you, let my master the king listen to the words of his servant. If it is Yahweh who has stirred you up against me, let him accept an offering; but if it is human beings, may they be cursed in the sight of Yahweh, for they have today driven me out, that I should not cling to the inheritance of Yahweh; they have said to me, 'Go worship other gods.'
Sik’oyo, tika ete mokonzi, nkolo na ngai, ayoka maloba ya mosali na ye. Soki ezali Yawe nde atindaki yo kotelemela ngai, wana tika ete andima likabo. Kasi soki bato nde bazali kosala boye, wana tika ete balakelama mabe liboso ya Yawe; pamba te babengani ngai lelo mpe balongoli ngai na libula ya Yawe, mpe balobi na ngai: « Kende kosalela banzambe mosusu. »
20 Now therefore, do not let my blood fall to the earth away from Yahweh's presence; for the king of Israel has come out to look for the one flea as when one hunts a partridge in the mountains.”
Sik’oyo, tika ete makila na ngai esopana na mabele te, mosika na miso ya Yawe! Pamba te mokonzi ya Isalaele abimaki mpo na koluka ngenga kaka moko, ndenge balandaka soso ya zamba, na bangomba.
21 Then Saul said, “I have sinned. Return, David, my son; for I will harm you no more, because my life was precious in your eyes today. See, I have played the fool and have made a very bad mistake.”
Boye Saulo alobaki: — Solo, nasali masumu! Davidi, mwana na ngai ya mobali, zonga! Mpo ete omonaki ete bomoi na ngai ezali motuya, nakomeka lisusu te kosala yo mabe. Nasalaki penza lokola moto ya liboma mpe napengwaki.
22 David answered and said, “See, your spear is here, king! Let one of the young men come over and get it and bring it to you.
Davidi azongisaki: — Likonga ya mokonzi, yango oyo! Tika ete moko kati na bilenge mibali na yo aya kozwa yango.
23 May Yahweh pay each man for his righteousness and his faithfulness; because Yahweh put you into my hand today, but I would not strike his anointed.
Yawe oyo afutaka moto nyonso kolanda bosembo mpe boyengebene na ye, akabaki yo na maboko na ngai lelo; kasi naboyaki kosembola loboko na ngai likolo ya mopakolami na Yawe.
24 See, as your life was precious in my eyes today, so may my life be much valued in the eyes of Yahweh, and may he rescue me out of all trouble.”
Ndenge bomoi na yo ezalaki lelo motuya makasi na miso na ngai, ndenge wana mpe bomoi na ngai ekozala motuya makasi na miso ya Yawe, mpe akokangola ngai na pasi nyonso.
25 Then Saul said to David, “May you be blessed, David my son! You will certainly do great things and you will succeed in them.” So David went his way, and Saul returned to his place.
Saulo alobaki na Davidi: — Tika ete opambolama, Davidi, mwana na ngai ya mobali! Solo, okosala penza makambo minene mpe, solo, okolonga. Bongo Davidi akobaki nzela na ye, mpe Saulo azongaki epai na ye.
