< 1 Samuel 17 >
1 And the Philistines gather their camps to battle, and are gathered to Shochoh, which [is] to Judah, and encamp between Shochoh and Azekah, in Ephes-Dammim;
Bato ya Filisitia basangisaki mampinga na bango mpo na bitumba, basanganaki na Soko ya Yuda mpe batongaki molako na bango na Efeze-Damimi, kati na Soko mpe Azeka.
2 and Saul and the men of Israel have been gathered, and encamp by the valley of Elah, and set the battle in array to meet the Philistines.
Na ngambo mosusu, Saulo mpe bato ya Isalaele basanganaki mpe batongaki molako na bango kati na lubwaku ya Terebente; batandamaki na milongo mpe babongamaki mpo na kobundisa bato ya Filisitia.
3 And the Philistines are standing on the mountain on this side, and the Israelites are standing on the mountain on that side, and the valley [is] between them.
Bato ya Filisitia bazalaki na likolo ya ngomba na ngambo moko, mpe bato ya Isalaele, na likolo ya ngomba na ngambo mosusu; kaka lubwaku nde ekabolaki bango.
4 And there goeth out a man of the duellists from the camps of the Philistines, Goliath [is] his name, from Gath; his height [is] six cubits and a span,
Elombe mobali moko oyo kombo na ye ezalaki « Goliati, » moto ya mboka Gati, abimaki wuta na molako ya bato ya Filisitia. Azalaki na bametele pene misato na molayi.
5 and a helmet of brass [is] on his head, and [with] a scaled coat of mail he [is] clothed, and the weight of the coat of mail [is] five thousand shekels of brass,
Alataki ekoti ya bronze na moto na ye mpe ebombelo ya tolo, oyo basala na bakilo pene tuku motoba ya bronze.
6 and a frontlet of brass [is] on his feet, and a javelin of brass between his shoulders,
Na makolo na ye, alataki bitando ya bronze, mpe akangisaki likonga ya bronze na sima ya mokongo na ye.
7 and the wood of his spear [is] like a beam of weavers', and the flame of his spear [is] six hundred shekels of iron, and the bearer of the buckler is going before him.
Monene ya nzete ya likonga na ye ezalaki lokola libaya oyo basali bilamba basalelaka; songe ya likonga yango ezalaki ya bakilo pene sambo. Moto oyo azalaki komema bibundeli na ye azalaki kotambola liboso na ye.
8 And he standeth and calleth unto the ranks of Israel, and saith to them, 'Why are ye come out to set in array the battle? [am] not I the Philistine, and ye servants to Saul? choose for you a man, and let him come down unto me;
Goliati atelemaki mpe agangelaki mampinga ya Isalaele, alobaki: « Mpo na nini bobimi mpe bosali milongo mpo na bitumba? Ngai nazali moto ya Filisitia te? Mpe bino bozali basali ya Saulo te? Bopona moto moko mpe botika ye koya kobundisa ngai.
9 if he be able to fight with me, and have smitten me, then we have been to you for servants; and if I am able for him, and have smitten him, then ye have been to us for servants, and have served us.'
Soki akokoka kolonga mpe koboma ngai, wana biso tokokoma bawumbu na bino. Nzokande soki ngai nalongi mpe nabomi ye, wana bino nde bokokoma bawumbu na biso mpe bokosalela biso. »
10 And the Philistine saith, 'I have reproached the ranks of Israel this day; give to me a man, and we fight together.'
Moto ya Filisitia alobaki lisusu: « Na mokolo ya lelo, nazali kotiola mampinga ya Isalaele. Bopesa ngai moto moko mpo ete nabunda na ye. »
11 And Saul heareth — and all Israel — these words of the Philistine, and they are broken down and greatly afraid.
Tango bayokaki maloba ya moto ya Filisitia, Saulo mpe bato nyonso ya Isalaele bakomaki na mawa mpe babangaki.
12 And David [is] son of this Ephrathite of Beth-Lehem-Judah, whose name [is] Jesse, and he hath eight sons, and the man in the days of Saul hath become aged among men;
Davidi azalaki mwana mobali ya moto moko ya Efrate, oyo kombo na ye ezalaki « Izayi. » Izayi awutaki na Beteleemi ya Yuda mpe azalaki na bana mibali mwambe. Na tango Saulo azalaki mokonzi, Izayi akomaki mobange mpo ete mibu na ye ya mbotama epusanaki makasi.
13 and the three eldest sons of Jesse go, they have gone after Saul to battle; and the name of his three sons who have gone into battle [are] Eliab the first-born, and his second Abinadab, and the third Shammah.
Bana mibali misato ya liboso ya Izayi balandaki Saulo na bitumba. Tala bakombo ya bana mibali yango misato oyo balandaki Saulo na bitumba: Eliabi, mwana mobali ya liboso; Abinadabi, mwana mobali ya mibale; mpe Shama, mwana mobali ya misato.
14 And David is the youngest, and the three eldest have gone after Saul,
Lokola Davidi azalaki leki, mpe wana bana mibali misato ya liboso balandaki Saulo,
15 and David is going and returning from Saul, to feed the flock of his father at Beth-Lehem.
Davidi azalaki kokende mpe kozonga wuta na ndako ya Saulo mpo na koleisa bameme ya tata na ye na Beteleemi.
16 And the Philistine draweth nigh, morning and evening, and stationeth himself forty days.
Mikolo tuku minei, moto ya Filisitia azalaki komilakisa, tongo mpe pokwa, liboso ya mampinga ya Isalaele.
17 And Jesse saith to David his son, 'Take, I pray thee, to thy brethren, an ephah of this roasted [corn], and these ten loaves, and run to the camp to thy brethren;
Izayi alobaki na Davidi, mwana na ye ya mobali: « Zwela bandeko na yo ya mibali bambuma oyo ya ble bakalinga mpe mapa oyo zomi, mpe kende kotikela bango yango na lombangu na molako na bango.
18 and these ten cuttings of the cheese thou dost take in to the head of the thousand, and thy brethren thou dost inspect for welfare, and their pledge dost receive.'
Mema lisusu ba-fromaje zomi oyo epai ya mokonzi ya limpinga ya basoda nkoto moko, limpinga oyo bango bazali. Tala soki bandeko na yo ya mibali bazali ndenge nini mpe zwa na maboko na bango elembo oyo ekolakisa ngai ete bazali malamu.
19 And Saul, and they, and all the men of Israel [are] in the valley of Elah, fighting with the Philistines.
Bazali na lubwaku ya Terebente elongo na Saulo mpe mibali nyonso ya Isalaele mpo na kobundisa bato ya Filisitia. »
20 And David riseth early in the morning, and leaveth the flock to a keeper, and lifteth up, and goeth, as Jesse commanded him, and he cometh in to the path, and to the force which is going out unto the rank, and they have shouted for battle;
Na tongo-tongo ya mokolo oyo elandaki, Davidi atikaki bameme na maboko ya mokengeli moko; akamataki mikumba na ye mpe akendeki, ndenge kaka Izayi ayebisaki ye; akomaki na molako tango mampinga ya Isalaele ezalaki komibongisa na milongo mpo na kobunda bitumba, mpe ezalaki kobeta milolo ya bitumba.
21 and Israel and the Philistines set in array rank to meet rank.
Bato ya Isalaele mpe bato ya Filisitia batandamaki mpe batalanaki ngambo na ngambo mpo na kobunda.
22 And David letteth down the goods from off him on the hand of a keeper of the goods, and runneth into the rank, and cometh and asketh of his brethren of welfare.
Davidi akitisaki mikumba na ye, apesaki yango na maboko ya mobateli mikumba, akimaki mbangu na esika ya bitumba mpe apesaki bandeko na ye ya mibali mbote.
23 And he is speaking with them, and lo, a man of the duellists is coming up, Goliath the Philistine [is] his name, of Gath, out of the ranks of the Philistines, and he speaketh according to those words, and David heareth;
Wana Davidi azali kosolola na bango, elombe mobali Goliati, moto ya Filisitia ya Gati, alongwaki na molongo ya mampinga na ye mpe azongelaki koloba ndenge azalaki kosala mikolo nyonso. Davidi azalaki koyoka ye.
24 and all the men of Israel when they see the man flee from his presence, and are greatly afraid.
Kasi tango bato nyonso ya Isalaele bamonaki mobali yango, bakimaki liboso na ye na kobanga makasi.
25 And the men of Israel say, 'Have ye seen this man who is coming up? for, to reproach Israel he is coming up, and it hath been — the man who smiteth him, the king doth enrich him with great riches, and his daughter he doth give to him, and his father's house doth make free in Israel.'
Moko na moko kati na bato ya Isalaele akomaki koloba: « Bozali na bino komona mobali oyo ndenge azali kobima mpo na koya epai na biso? Azali nde koya kotiola Isalaele! Mokonzi akopesa bomengo ebele epai ya moto oyo akoboma ye, akopesa ye mwana na ye ya mwasi na libala mpe akosalela libota ya tata na ye bolamu kati na Isalaele. »
26 And David speaketh unto the men who are standing by him, saying, 'What is done to the man who smiteth this Philistine, and hath turned aside reproach from Israel? for who [is] this uncircumcised Philistine that he hath reproached the ranks of the living God?'
Davidi atunaki mibali oyo bazalaki pembeni na ye: — Eloko nini bakosala na moto oyo akoboma moto ya Filisitia oyo mpe akolongola soni kati na Isalaele? Moto ya Filisitia oyo akatama ngenga te azali nani mpo ete atiola mampinga ya Nzambe na bomoi?
27 And the people speak to him according to this word, saying, 'Thus it is done to the man who smiteth him.'
Lokola bato bazalaki kozongela kaka maloba moko, balobaki na ye: — Tala makambo oyo ekosalemela moto oyo akoboma ye.
28 And Eliab, his eldest brother, heareth when he speaketh unto the men, and the anger of Eliab burneth against David, and he saith, 'Why [is] this — thou hast come down! and to whom hast thou left those few sheep in the wilderness? I have known thy pride, and the evil of thy heart — for, to see the battle thou hast come down.'
Tango Eliabi, kulutu ya Davidi, ayokaki ye koloba na bato yango, asilikelaki ye makasi mpe atunaki: — Oyaki awa mpo na nini? Mpe na maboko ya nani otikaki mwa bameme na biso kati na esobe? Nayebi ndenge lolendo na yo ezalaka mpe ndenge nini ozalaka mayele mabe. Oyei na yo kaka mpo na kotala bitumba.
29 And David saith, 'What have I done now? is it not a word?'
Davidi azongiselaki ye: — Nasali nini? Nakoki kosolola lisusu te?
30 And he turneth round from him unto another, and saith according to this word, and the people return him word as the first word.
Bongo Davidi abalukaki mpo na kosolola na moto mosusu mpe atunaki kaka likambo moko wana. Mpe bazongiselaki ye ndenge kaka moto ya liboso alobaki na ye.
31 And the words which David hath spoken are heard, and they declare before Saul, and he receiveth him;
Maloba ya Davidi epanzanaki na lombangu, mpe bayebisaki yango Saulo. Mpe sima na Saulo koyoka yango, abengisaki ye.
32 and David saith unto Saul, 'Let no man's heart fall because of him, thy servant doth go, and hath fought with this Philistine.'
Davidi alobaki na Saulo: — Tika ete moto moko te amilembisa nzoto likolo na moto oyo ya Filisitia. Mosali na yo akokende kobundisa ye.
33 And Saul saith unto David, 'Thou art not able to go unto this Philistine, to fight with him, for a youth thou [art], and he a man of war from his youth.'
Kasi Saulo alobaki na Davidi: — Okoki te kokende kobundisa moto wana ya Filisitia! Ozali mwana moke, nzokande ye azali mobundi ya bitumba wuta bolenge na ye.
34 And David saith unto Saul, 'A shepherd hath thy servant been to his father among the sheep, and the lion hath come — and the bear — and hath taken away a sheep out of the drove,
Davidi azongiselaki Saulo: — Mosali na yo azalaki kobatela bameme ya tata na ye. Tango ngombolo to nkosi ezalaki koya kokamata meme moko kati na etonga,
35 and I have gone out after him, and smitten him, and delivered out of his mouth, and he riseth against me, and I have taken hold on his beard, and smitten him, and put him to death.
nazalaki kolanda mpe kobeta yango, nazalaki kokangola mpe kobotola meme na monoko ya tambwe to ya nkosi yango. Tango ezalaki kobalukela ngai, nazalaki kokanga yango, kobeta mpe koboma yango.
36 Both the lion and the bear hath thy servant smitten, and this uncircumcised Philistine hath been as one of them, for he hath reproached the ranks of the living God.'
Lokola mosali na yo abomaki ezala ngombolo to nkosi, akoboma mpe moto ya Filisitia oyo akatama ngenga te lokola moko kati na banyama wana, pamba te atioli mampinga ya Nzambe na bomoi.
37 And David saith, 'Jehovah, who delivered me out of the paw of the lion, and out of the paw of the bear, He doth deliver me from the hand of this Philistine.' And Saul saith unto David, 'Go, and Jehovah is with thee.'
Yawe oyo akangolaki ngai na manzaka ya ngombolo mpe ya nkosi akokangola ngai na maboko ya moto ya Filisitia oyo. Saulo alobaki na Davidi: — Kende, mpe tika ete Yawe azala elongo na yo.
38 And Saul clotheth David with his long robe, and hath put a helmet of brass on his head, and doth clothe him with a coat of mail.
Bongo Saulo alatisaki Davidi bibundeli na ye moko: atiaki ye ekoti ya bronze na moto mpe alatisaki ye ebombelo ya tolo.
39 And David girded his sword above his long robe, and beginneth to go, for he hath not tried [it]; and David saith unto Saul, 'I am not able to go with these, for I had not tried;' and David turneth them aside from off him.
Na likolo ya elamba ya ebende, Davidi atiaki lisusu, na mokaba na ye, mopanga ya Saulo; mpe amekaki kotambola na yango, pamba te atikalaki nanu komesana na yango te. Davidi alobaki na Saulo: — Nakokoka te kotambola na biloko oyo nyonso, pamba te namesana na yango te! Bongo Davidi alongolaki yango na nzoto na ye.
40 And he taketh his staff in his hand, and chooseth for him five smooth stones from the brook, and putteth them in the shepherds' habiliments that he hath, even in the scrip, and his sling [is] in his hand, and he draweth nigh unto the Philistine.
Asimbaki kaka lingenda na ye na loboko, aponaki mabanga mitano ya moselu kati na moluka ya lubwaku mpe atiaki yango na libenga na ye ya mobateli bibwele; asimbaki ebambelo mabanga na loboko mpe apusanaki epai ya moto ya Filisitia.
41 And the Philistine goeth on, going and drawing near unto David, and the man bearing the buckler [is] before him,
Kaka na tango yango, moto ya Filisitia elongo na moto oyo amemelaki ye nguba bapusanaki pene ya Davidi; moto oyo amemaki nguba nde azalaki liboso.
42 and the Philistine looketh attentively, and seeth David, and despiseth him, for he was a youth, and ruddy, with a fair appearance.
Tango moto ya Filisitia atalaki mpe amonaki Davidi, atiolaki ye; pamba te azalaki na ye kaka mwa elenge mobali oyo azalaki na poso kitoko ya nzoto mpe na elongi kitoko.
43 And the Philistine saith unto David, 'Am I a dog that thou art coming unto me with staves?' and the Philistine revileth David by his gods,
Moto ya Filisitia alobaki na Davidi: — Boni, ngai nazali mbwa mpo ete oya kobundisa ngai na lingenda? Bongo alakelaki Davidi mabe na nzela ya banzambe na ye.
44 and the Philistine saith unto David, 'Come unto me, and I give thy flesh to the fowl of the heavens, and to the beast of the field.'
Moto ya Filisitia alobaki lisusu na Davidi: — Pusana awa, nakopesa mosuni na yo epai ya bandeke ya likolo mpe epai ya banyama ya zamba.
45 And David saith unto the Philistine, 'Thou art coming unto me with sword, and with spear, and with buckler, and I am coming unto thee in the name of Jehovah of Hosts, God of the ranks of Israel, which thou hast reproached.
Davidi alobaki na moto ya Filisitia: — Ozali koya kobundisa ngai na mopanga, na likonga ya monene mpe na likonga ya moke. Kasi ngai nayei kobundisa yo na Kombo na Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, Nzambe ya mampinga ya Isalaele, oyo yo ozali kotiola.
46 This day doth Jehovah shut thee up into my hand — and I have smitten thee, and turned aside thy head from off thee, and given the carcase of the camp of the Philistines this day to the fowl of the heavens, and to the beast of the earth, and all the earth do know that God is for Israel.
Na mokolo ya lelo, Yawe akokaba yo na maboko na ngai; nakoboma yo mpe nakokata moto na yo. Na mokolo ya lelo kaka, nakopesa bibembe ya mampinga ya Filisitia epai ya bandeke ya likolo mpe epai ya banyama ya mokili; mpe mokili mobimba ekoyeba ete ezali na Nzambe moko kati na Isalaele.
47 and all this assembly do know that not by sword and by spear doth Jehovah save, that the battle [is] Jehovah's, and He hath given you into our hand.'
Bato nyonso oyo basangani awa bakoyeba ete ezali na mopanga te to na likonga ya monene te nde Yawe abikisaka. Pamba te bitumba ezali ya Yawe, mpe Ye akokaba bino na maboko na biso.
48 And it hath come to pass, that the Philistine hath risen, and goeth, and draweth near to meet David, and David hasteth and runneth to the rank to meet the Philistine,
Wana moto ya Filisitia amibongisaki mpo na kokende kobundisa Davidi, Davidi akimaki mbangu na molongo ya liboso ya bitumba mpo na kokutana na moto ya Filisitia.
49 and David putteth forth his hand unto the vessel, and taketh thence a stone, and slingeth, and smiteth the Philistine on his forehead, and the stone sinketh into his forehead, and he falleth on his face to the earth.
Davidi akotisaki loboko na ye kati na libenga na ye, azwaki libanga moko mpe abambaki yango na nzela ya ebambelo na ye ya mabanga; abetaki moto ya Filisitia na elongi. Libanga ekotaki kati na elongi ya moto ya Filisitia, mpe akweyaki elongi kino na mabele.
50 And David is stronger than the Philistine with a sling and with a stone, and smiteth the Philistine, and putteth him to death, and there is no sword in the hand of David,
Boye, Davidi alongaki moto ya Filisitia na nzela ya ebambelo mabanga na ye mpe na nzela ya libanga moko. Davidi abetaki moto ya Filisitia mpe abomaki ye, azalaki ata na mopanga te na loboko na ye.
51 and David runneth and standeth over the Philistine, and taketh his sword, and draweth it out of its sheath, and putteth him to death, and cutteth off with it his head; and the Philistines see that their hero [is] dead, and flee.
Davidi akimaki mbangu mpe atelemaki na likolo ya moto ya Filisitia, asimbaki mopanga ya moto ya Filisitia, abimisaki yango na ebombelo na yango, abomaki ye, mpe akataki moto na ye na nzela ya mopanga yango. Tango mampinga ya Filisitia bamonaki ete elombe na bango akufi, bakimaki.
52 And the men of Israel rise — also Judah — and shout, and pursue the Philistines till thou enter the valley, and unto the gates of Ekron, and the wounded of the Philistines fall in the way of Shaaraim, even unto Gath, and unto Ekron,
Bato ya Isalaele mpe bato ya Yuda babimaki na mbala moko, bagangaki mpe balandaki bato ya Filisitia kino na ebandeli ya lubwaku mpe kino na bikuke ya Ekroni. Bibembe ya bato ya Filisitia etandamaki na nzela oyo ekenda na Shaarayimi kino na Gati mpe kino na Ekroni.
53 and the sons of Israel turn back from burning after the Philistines, and spoil their camps.
Tango bato ya Isalaele batikaki kolanda bato ya Filisitia, bazongaki mpo na kozwa na makasi biloko oyo ezalaki kati na molako ya bato ya Filisitia.
54 And David taketh the head of the Philistine, and bringeth it in to Jerusalem, and his weapons he hath put in his own tent.
Davidi azwaki moto ya moto ya Filisitia mpe amemaki yango na Yelusalemi; bongo azwaki bibundeli ya moto ya Filisitia mpe atiaki yango kati na ndako na ye ya kapo.
55 And when Saul seeth David going out to meet the Philistine, he hath said unto Abner, head of the host, 'Whose son [is] this — the youth, Abner?' and Abner saith, 'Thy soul liveth, O king, I have not known.'
Tango Saulo amonaki Davidi kokende kobundisa moto ya Filisitia, atunaki Abineri, mokonzi ya mampinga: — Elenge mobali oyo azali mwana ya nani? Abineri azongisaki: — Na kombo na yo mokonzi, nayebi te.
56 And the king saith, 'Ask thou whose son this [is] — the young man.'
Mokonzi alobaki: — Tuna mpo na koyeba soki elenge mobali oyo azali mwana ya nani?
57 And when David turneth back from smiting the Philistine, then Abner taketh him and bringeth him in before Saul, and the head of the Philistine in his hand;
Tango kaka Davidi azongaki sima na ye koboma moto ya Filisitia, Abineri azwaki ye mpe amemaki ye na liboso ya Saulo. Davidi asimbaki na loboko na ye moto ya moto ya Filisitia.
58 and Saul saith unto him, 'Whose son [art] thou, O youth?' and David saith, 'Son of thy servant Jesse, the Beth-Lehemite.'
Saulo atunaki Davidi: — Ozali mwana ya nani? Elenge mobali Davidi azongisaki: — Nazali mwana ya mosali na yo, Izayi, moto ya Beteleemi.
