< 2 Samuel 10 >
1 It came about later that the king of the people of Ammon died, and that Hanun his son became king in his place.
Sima na mwa tango, mokonzi ya bato ya Amoni akufaki, mpe mwana na ye ya mobali, Anuni, akitanaki na ye na bokonzi.
2 David said, “I will show kindness to Hanun son of Nahash, as his father showed kindness to me.” So David sent his servants to comfort Hanun concerning his father. His servants entered the land of the people of Ammon.
Davidi amilobelaki: « Nakotalisa bolamu epai ya Anuni, mwana mobali ya Naashi, ndenge kaka tata na ye atalisaki ngai bolamu. » Boye Davidi atindaki bato mpo na kobondisa ye na tina na kufa ya tata na ye. Tango basali ya Davidi bakomaki na mokili ya bato ya Amoni,
3 But the leaders of the people of Ammon said to Hanun their master, “Do you really think that David is honoring your father because he has sent men to comfort you? Has not David sent his servants to you to look at the city, to spy it out, in order to overthrow it?”
bakambi ya bato ya Amoni balobaki na Anuni, mokonzi na bango: « Okanisi ete ezali mpo na kopesa tata na yo lokumu nde Davidi atindi bato mpo na kobondisa yo? Ezali mpo na kononga engumba mpe kobebisa yango nde Davidi atindi bango epai na yo? »
4 So Hanun took David's servants, shaved off half their beards, cut off their garments up to their buttocks, and sent them away.
Boye, Anuni akangaki basali ya Davidi, akataki bango kati-kati ya mandefu, akataki bango bilamba kino na loketo mpe abenganaki bango.
5 When they explained this to David, he sent to meet with them, for the men were deeply ashamed. The king said, “Stay at Jericho until your beards have grown back, and then return.”
Tango bayebisaki Davidi likambo yango, atindaki bato mosusu mpo na kokende kokutana na bato wana, pamba te basambwisaki bango makasi. Mokonzi atindelaki bango maloba oyo: « Bovanda na Jeriko kino mandefu na bino ekobota lisusu, sima nde bokozonga. »
6 When the people of Ammon saw that they had become a stench to David, the people of Ammon sent messengers and hired the Arameans of Beth Rehob and Zobah, twenty thousand foot soldiers, and the king of Maacah with a thousand men, and the men of Tob with twelve thousand men.
Tango bato ya Amoni basosolaki ete bamikomisi bato mabe na miso ya Davidi, bakotisaki bato ya sika na mosala ya soda, oyo bakobanda kobunda bitumba na makolo: epai ya bato ya Siri ya Beti-Reobi mpe ya Tsoba, bato nkoto tuku mibale; epai ya mokonzi ya Maaka, bato nkoto moko; epai ya mokonzi ya Tobi, bato nkoto zomi na mibale.
7 When David heard of it, he sent Joab and all the army of soldiers.
Tango kaka Davidi ayokaki bongo, atindaki Joabi elongo na mampinga nyonso ya basoda ya mpiko.
8 The Ammonites came out and formed a line of battle at the entrance to their city gate, while the Arameans of Zobah and of Rehob, and the men of Tob and Maacah, stood by themselves in the open fields.
Bato ya Amoni babimaki mpe batandamaki na milongo mpo na bitumba, na ekuke ya engumba mokonzi na bango. Na tango wana, bato ya Siri ya Tsoba mpe ya Reobi elongo na basoda ya Tobi mpe Maaka bazalaki na esika mosusu, kati na zamba.
9 When Joab saw the battle lines facing him both in front and behind, he chose some of Israel's best fighters and arranged them against the Arameans.
Tango Joabi amonaki ete milongo ya bitumba ezali na liboso mpe na sima na ye, aponaki basoda ya Isalaele oyo baleki na mpiko, mpe atiaki bango na milongo mpo na kobundisa bato ya Siri.
10 The rest of his people he put into the hand of Abishai his brother, and he set them out in position to fight against the army of Ammon.
Atiaki basoda oyo batikalaki na se ya bokonzi ya ndeko na ye ya mobali, Abishayi; mpe atandaki bango na milongo ya bitumba mpo na kobundisa bato ya Amoni.
11 Joab said, “If the Arameans are too strong for me, then you, Abishai, must rescue me. But if the army of Ammon is too strong for you, then I will come and rescue you.
Joabi alobaki: « Soki bato ya Siri baleki ngai na makasi, yo okoya kosunga ngai; kasi soki bato ya Amoni baleki yo na makasi, wana ngai nakoya kosunga yo.
12 Be strong, and let us show ourselves to be strong for our people and for the cities of our God, for Yahweh will do what is good for his purpose.”
Yika mpiko, mpe tobunda lokola bilombe mpo na bato na biso mpe mpo na bingumba ya Nzambe na biso. Tika ete Yawe asala oyo ezali malamu na miso na Ye. »
13 So Joab and the soldiers of his army advanced to the battle against the Arameans, who were forced to flee before the army of Israel.
Bongo Joabi mpe basoda oyo bazalaki elongo na ye bapusanaki mpo na kobundisa bato ya Siri; mpe bato yango ya Siri bakimaki liboso na ye.
14 When the army of Ammon saw that the Arameans had fled, they also fled from Abishai and went back into the city. Then Joab returned from the people of Ammon and went back to Jerusalem.
Tango bato ya Amoni bamonaki bato ya Siri kokima, bango mpe bakimaki liboso ya Abishayi mpe bazongaki kati na engumba. Bongo, sima na Joabi kowuta kobundisa bato ya Amoni, azongaki na Yelusalemi.
15 When the Arameans saw that they were being defeated by Israel, they gathered themselves together again.
Tango bato ya Siri bamonaki ete Isalaele alongi bango, basanganaki.
16 Then Hadarezer sent for Aramean troops from beyond the Euphrates River. They came to Helam, and Shobak, the commander of Hadarezer's army, went before them.
Adadezeri atindaki bantoma kobenga bato ya Siri oyo bazalaki na ngambo mosusu ya ebale. Mpe bayaki na Elami. Tsobaki, mokonzi ya mampinga ya Adadezeri, azalaki liboso na bango.
17 When David was told this, he gathered all Israel together, crossed the Jordan, and arrived at Helam. The Arameans arranged themselves in battle lines against David and fought him.
Tango Davidi azwaki sango yango, asangisaki bato nyonso ya Isalaele, akatisaki Yordani mpe akomaki na Elami. Bato ya Siri basalaki milongo liboso ya Davidi mpe babundisaki ye.
18 The Arameans fled from Israel, and David killed seven hundred of their men in chariots and forty thousand horsemen. Shobak the commander of their army was wounded and died there.
Kasi bato ya Siri bakimaki liboso ya Isalaele, mpe Davidi abomaki bampunda nkama sambo oyo ezalaki komema bashar mpe basoda nkoto tuku minei oyo babundaka bitumba na likolo ya bampunda. Davidi abetaki mpe Tsobaki, mokonzi na bango ya mampinga, mpe akufaki wana.
19 When all the kings who were servants of Hadarezer saw that they were defeated by Israel, they made peace with Israel and became their subjects. So the Arameans were afraid to help the people of Ammon anymore.
Tango bakonzi nyonso oyo bazalaki na se ya bokonzi ya Adadezeri bamonaki ete Isalaele alongi bango, basalaki kimia elongo na bato ya Isalaele mpe bakomaki kosalela Isalaele. Bongo bato ya Siri bakomaki kobanga kosunga bato ya Amoni.
