2 Samuel 17
1 Then Ahithophel said to Absalom, “Now let me choose twelve thousand men, and I will arise and pursue David tonight.
Ayitofeli alobaki na Abisalomi: — Nakopona mibali nkoto zomi na mibale mpe nakolanda Davidi na pokwa ya lelo.
2 I will come on him while he is weary and weak and will surprise him with fear. The people who are with him will flee, and I will attack only the king.
Nakobundisa ye tango makasi na ye ekosila mpe nzoto na ye ekolemba; nakoyeisa mobulu epai na ye, mpe wana bato nyonso oyo bazali elongo na ye bakokima, ngai nakoboma ye mokonzi tango akotikala ye moko;
3 I will bring back all the people to you, like a bride coming to her husband, and all the people will be at peace under you.”
mpe nakozongisa bato nyonso epai na yo. Kufa ya moto oyo ozali koluka elakisi kozonga ya bato nyonso! mpe bato nyonso bakozala na kimia.
4 What Ahithophel said pleased Absalom and all the elders of Israel.
Makanisi oyo emonanaki ya sembo na miso ya Abisalomi mpe ya bampaka nyonso ya Isalaele.
5 Then Absalom said, “Now call Hushai the Arkite, too, and let us hear what he says.”
Kasi Abisalomi alobaki: — Bobengisa lisusu Ushayi, moto ya Ariki, mpo ete toyoka makambo nini oyo ye mpe azali na yango ya koloba.
6 When Hushai had come to Absalom, Absalom explained to him what Ahithophel had said and then asked Hushai, “Should we do what Ahithophel has said? If not, tell us what you advise.”
Tango Ushayi akomaki epai na ye, Abisalomi alobaki: — Tala toli oyo Ayitofeli apesi. Boni, tosengeli kosala makambo oyo alobi? Soki te, yebisa biso makanisi na yo.
7 So Hushai said to Absalom, “The advice that Ahithophel has given this time is not good.”
Ushayi azongiselaki Abisalomi: — Ya mbala oyo, toli oyo Ayitofeli apesi ezali malamu te.
8 Hushai added, “You know your father and his men are strong warriors, and that they are bitter, and they are like a bear robbed of her cubs in a field. Your father is a man of war; he will not sleep with the army tonight.
Bongo Ushayi abakisaki: — Oyebi ete tata na yo mpe bato na ye bazali bato ya mpiko mpe bato na kanda makasi lokola ngombolo ya mwasi oyo bawuti kobotola bana na yango kati na zamba. Tata na yo azali moto oyo abundaka bitumba wuta kala, akolekisa te butu esika moko na bato.
9 Look, right now he is probably hidden in some pit or in some other place. It will happen that when some of your men have been killed at the beginning of an attack, that whoever hears it will say, 'A slaughter has taken place among the soldiers who follow Absalom.'
Ata azali sik’oyo ya kobombama kati na lidusu ya mabanga to na esika songolo, nzokande tango kaka bato kati na mampinga na biso bakobanda kokufa, ekozanga te komonana moto oyo akoyoka yango mpe akoloba: « Kati na bato oyo bazali kolanda Abisalomi, ebele bakufi. »
10 Then even the bravest soldiers, whose hearts are like the heart of a lion, will be afraid because all Israel knows that your father is a mighty man, and that the men who are with him are very strong.
Bongo na tango yango, ata soda oyo aleki na mpiko, oyo azali na motema lokola ya nkosi, akobanga makasi, pamba te Isalaele mobimba eyebi ete tata na yo mpe bato nyonso oyo bazali elongo na ye bazali basoda ya mpiko.
11 So I advise you that all Israel should be gathered together to you, from Dan to Beersheba, as numerous as the sands that are by the sea, and that you go to battle in person.
Boye tala toli na ngai: « Tika ete Isalaele mobimba basangana epai na yo, longwa na Dani kino na Beri-Sheba, bazala ebele lokola zelo ya ebale monene! Bongo yo moko okotambola liboso na bango na bitumba.
12 Then we will come on him wherever he may be found, and we will cover him as the dew falls on the ground. We will not leave even one of his men, or him himself, alive.
Bongo tokobundisa ye na bisika nyonso oyo akoki komonana mpe tokokweyela ye ndenge manoka ekweyaka na mabele. Mpe ezala ye to bato na ye, moko te akotikala na bomoi.
13 If he retreats into a city, then all Israel will bring ropes to that city and we will drag it into the river, until there is no longer even a small stone found there.”
Soki akimi na engumba moko, Isalaele mobimba ekomema basinga kuna na engumba yango mpe tokobenda engumba yango na lubwaku kino etikala ata na libanga moko te. »
14 Then Absalom and the men of Israel said, “Hushai the Arkite's advice is better than Ahithophel's.” Yahweh had ordained the rejection of Ahithophel's good advice in order to bring destruction on Absalom.
Abisalomi mpe bato nyonso ya Isalaele balobaki: — Toli ya Ushayi, moto ya Ariki, ezali malamu koleka oyo ya Ayitofeli, pamba te Yawe azwaki mokano ya kokakola batoli malamu ya Ayitofeli mpo na komema pasi epai ya Abisalomi.
15 Then Hushai said to Zadok and to Abiathar the priests, “Ahithophel advised Absalom and the elders of Israel in such and such a way, but I have advised something else.
Ushayi alobaki na Banganga-Nzambe Tsadoki mpe Abiatari: — Ayitofeli apesaki toli na Abisalomi mpe na bampaka ya Isalaele ete basala likambo songolo, mpe ngai napesi bango toli ete basala likambo pakala.
16 Now then, go quickly and report to David; say to him, 'Do not camp tonight at the fords of the Arabah, but by all means cross over, or the king will be swallowed up along with all the people who are with him.'”
Sik’oyo, tinda noki sango epai ya Davidi mpo na koloba na ye: « Kolekisa te butu kati na bitando ya esobe, kasi kende mosika, noki te mokonzi mpe bato oyo bazali elongo na yo bokufa. »
17 Now Jonathan and Ahimaaz were staying at the spring of Rogel. A female servant used to go and inform them what they needed to know, for they could not risk being seen going into the city. When the message came, then they were to go and tell King David.
Wana Jonatan mpe Ayimaatsi bavandaki na Eyini-Rogeli, mwasi mosali moko amemelaki bango sango oyo bango basengelaki kokende koyebisa mokonzi Davidi; pamba te basengelaki te kokota kati na engumba mpo ete bamona bango te.
18 But a young man saw them this time and told Absalom. So Jonathan and Ahimaaz went away quickly and came to the house of a man in Bahurim, who had a well in his courtyard, into which they descended.
Nzokande elenge mobali moko amonaki bango mpe akendeki koyebisa Abisalomi. Boye mibali nyonso mibale bakimaki noki mpe bakendeki na ndako ya moto moko ya Bawurimi. Lokola azalaki na libulu moko ya mayi kati na lopango na ye, bakitaki kuna.
19 The man's wife took the covering for the well and spread it over the well's opening, and tossed grain over it, so no one knew Jonathan and Ahimaaz were in the well.
Mwasi na ye akamataki kapo, atiaki yango na monoko ya libulu mpe asopaki bambuma na likolo na yango. Moto moko te ayebaki likambo yango.
20 Absalom's men came to the woman of the house and said, “Where are Ahimaaz and Jonathan?” The woman told them, “They have crossed over the river.” So after they had looked around and could not find them, they returned to Jerusalem.
Tango bato ya Abisalomi bayaki epai ya mwasi, batunaki: — Ayimaatsi mpe Jonatan bazali wapi? Mwasi azongiselaki bango: — Bakatisi mayi. Bato ya Abisalomi balukaki, kasi bamonaki moto moko te; mpe bazongaki na Yelusalemi.
21 It came about after they had left that Jonathan and Ahimaaz came up out of the well. They went to report to King David; they said to him, “Get up and cross quickly over the water because Ahithophel has given such and such advice about you.”
Tango bakendeki, Ayimaatsi mpe Jonatan babimaki na libulu mpe bakendeki koyebisa mokonzi Davidi: « Botelema mpe bokatisa mayi noki, pamba te Ayitofeli apesi toli moko ya mabe na tina na yo. »
22 Then David arose and all the people who were with him, and they crossed over the Jordan. By morning daylight not one of them had failed to cross over the Jordan.
Boye Davidi mpe bato oyo bazalaki elongo na ye batelemaki mpe bakatisaki ebale Yordani. Liboso ete tongo etana, bango nyonso basilisaki kokatisa Yordani, moko te atikalaki.
23 When Ahithophel saw that his advice had not been followed, he saddled his donkey and left. He went home to his own city, set his affairs in order, and hanged himself. In this way he died and was buried in the tomb of his father.
Tango Ayitofeli amonaki ete balandi te toli na ye, amataki na ane mpe azongaki na ndako na ye kati na engumba na ye. Abongisaki biloko ya ndako na ye mpe amidiembikaki. Boye akufaki mpe bakundaki ye kati na kunda ya tata na ye.
24 Then David came to Mahanaim. As for Absalom, he crossed over the Jordan, he and all the men of Israel with him.
Davidi akendeki na Maanayimi, mpe Abisalomi akatisaki Yordani elongo na bato nyonso ya Isalaele oyo bazalaki elongo na ye.
25 Absalom had set Amasa over the army instead of Joab. Amasa was the son of Jether the Ishmaelite, who had slept with Abigail, who was the daughter of Nahash and sister of Zeruiah, the mother of Joab.
Abisalomi atiaki Amasa mokonzi ya mampinga na esika ya Joabi. Amasa azalaki mwana mobali ya Yeteri, moto ya Isalaele, oyo abalaki Abigayili, mwana mwasi ya Naashi mpe ndeko mwasi ya Tseruya, mama ya Joabi.
26 Then Israel and Absalom camped in the land of Gilead.
Bato ya Isalaele mpe Abisalomi batongaki molako na bango kati na Galadi.
27 It came about when David had come to Mahanaim, that Shobi son of Nahash from Rabbah of the Ammonites, and Machir son of Ammiel from Lo Debar, and Barzillai the Gileadite from Rogelim,
Tango Davidi akomaki na Maanayimi, bayambaki ye epai ya Shovi, mwana mobali ya Naashi ya mboka Raba ya bato ya Amoni, epai ya Makiri, mwana mobali ya Amieli ya mboka ya Lo-Debari, mpe epai ya Barizilayi, moto ya Galadi ya mboka Rogelimi.
28 brought sleeping mats and blankets, bowls and pots, and wheat, barley flour, roasted grain, beans, lentils,
Bamemaki biloko ya kolalela, bambeki, basani, ble, orje, farine, bambuma oyo bakalinga, madesu, mpe misili,
29 honey, butter, sheep, and milk curds, so that David and the people with him could eat. These men had said, “The people are hungry, weary, and thirsty in the wilderness.”
mafuta ya nzoyi, miliki, bameme, fromaje ya ngombe, mpo ete Davidi elongo na bato na ye balia; pamba te bazalaki kolobana bango na bango: « Solo, sima na bango kotambola kati na esobe, bato oyo balembi, bazali konyokwama na nzala mpe na posa ya mayi. »
