1 Samuel 25
1 And Samuel dieth, and all Israel are gathered, and mourn for him, and bury him in his house, in Ramah; and David riseth and goeth down unto the wilderness of Paran.
Samuele akufaki, mpe Isalaele mobimba esanganaki mpo na kosala matanga na tina na ye; bongo bakundaki ye na mboka na ye, Rama. Davidi akendeki na esobe ya Parani.
2 And [there is] a man in Maon, and his work [is] in Carmel; and the man [is] very great, and he hath three thousand sheep, and a thousand goats; and he is shearing his flock in Carmel.
Na mboka Maoni, ezalaki na moto moko ya bozwi oyo bomengo na ye ezalaki kati na mboka Karimeli. Azalaki na bameme ya mibali nkoto misato mpe bantaba ya basi nkoto moko. Na eleko oyo, azalaki kati na Karimeli epai wapi azalaki kokata bameme na ye bapwale.
3 And the name of the man [is] Nabal, and the name of his wife Abigail, and the woman [is] of good understanding, and of fair form, and the man [is] hard and evil [in] doings; and he [is] a Calebite.
Kombo na ye ezalaki « Nabali, » mpe kombo ya mwasi na ye ezalaki « Abigayili. » Abigayili azalaki mwasi ya mayele mpe ya kitoko; kasi mobali na ye, moto ya etuka Kalebi, azalaki motema makasi mpe moto mabe.
4 And David heareth in the wilderness that Nabal is shearing his flock,
Wana Davidi azali kati na esobe, ayokaki ete Nabali azali kokata bameme na ye bapwale.
5 and David sendeth ten young men, and David saith to the young men, 'Go ye up to Carmel, and ye have come in unto Nabal, and asked of him in my name of welfare,
Davidi atindaki bilenge mibali zomi, alobaki na bango: « Bokende na Karimeli epai ya Nabali mpe bopesa ye mbote na kombo na ngai.
6 and said thus: To life! and thou, peace; and thy house, peace; and all that thou hast — peace!
Boyebisa ye: ‹ Tika ete bomoi molayi epesamela yo! Tika ete kimia ezala na yo, na libota na yo mpe na nyonso oyo ezali ya yo!
7 and, now, I have heard that thou hast shearers; now, the shepherds whom thou hast have been with us, we have not put them to shame, nor hath anything been looked after by them, all the days of their being in Carmel.
Nayoki ete bazali kokata bameme bapwale epai na yo. Nzokande, tango nyonso oyo babateli bibwele na yo bazalaki elongo na biso na Karimeli, tosalaki bango mabe ata moko te, mpe babungisaki ata eloko moko te.
8 'Ask thy young men, and they declare to thee, and the young men find grace in thine eyes, for on a good day we have come; give, I pray thee, that which thy hand findeth, to thy servants, and to thy son, to David.'
Tuna basali na yo, bakoyebisa yo. Boye, tika ete bilenge mibali na ngai bazwa ngolu na miso na yo, lokola tokomi epai na yo na mokolo ya feti! Nabondeli yo, pesa na basali na yo mpe na Davidi, mwana na yo ya mobali, eloko nyonso oyo okokoka kozwa mpo na bango. › »
9 And the young men of David come in, and speak unto Nabal according to all these words, in the name of David — and rest.
Tango bilenge mibali ya Davidi bakomaki epai ya Nabali, bayebisaki ye makambo oyo nyonso na kombo ya Davidi, mpe bazelaki.
10 And Nabal answereth the servants of David and saith, 'Who [is] David, and who the son of Jesse? to-day have servants been multiplied who are breaking away each from his master;
Kasi Nabali azongiselaki basali ya Davidi: « Davidi azali nani? Mwana mobali ya Izayi azali nani? Mikolo oyo, basali ebele bazali kokima bankolo na bango.
11 and I have taken my bread, and my water, and my flesh, which I slaughtered for my shearers, and have given [it] to men whom I have not known whence they [are]!'
Mpo na nini nakamata mapa na ngai, mayi na ngai mpe mosuni, oyo nabongisi mpo na bato na ngai, oyo bakataka bapwale, mpo na kopesa yango epai ya bato oyo nayebi kutu epai bawuti te? »
12 And the young men of David turn on their way, and turn back, and come in, and declare to him according to all these words.
Bilenge mibali ya Davidi babalukaki mpe bazongaki. Tango bakomaki, bayebisaki Davidi makambo oyo Nabali alobaki.
13 And David saith to his men, 'Gird ye on each his sword;' and they gird on each his sword, and David also girdeth on his sword, and there go up after David about four hundred men, and two hundred have remained by the vessels.
Davidi alobaki na basoda na ye: « Tika ete moko na moko atia mopanga na ye na loketo. » Boye, batiaki mipanga na bango na loketo, mpe Davidi atiaki mpe oyo ya ye. Bato pene nkama minei bakendeki elongo na Davidi, mpe bato nkama mibale batikalaki mpo na kobatela biloko.
14 And to Abigail wife of Nabal hath one young man of the youths declared, saying, 'Lo, David hath sent messengers out of the wilderness to bless our lord, and he flieth upon them;
Moko kati na basali ya Nabali alobaki na Abigayili, mwasi ya Nabali: « Davidi atindaki bantoma wuta na esobe mpo na kopambola nkolo na biso, kasi ye atombokelaki bango.
15 and the men [are] very good to us, and have not put us to shame, and we have not looked after anything all the days we have gone up and down with them, in our being in the field;
Nzokande bato yango basalelaki biso penza bolamu, basalaki biso mabe ata moko te, mpe, tango nyonso totambolaki elongo na bango na zamba, tobungisaki ata eloko moko te.
16 a wall they have been unto us both by night and by day, all the days of our being with them, feeding the flock.
Butu mpe moyi, tango nyonso tozalaki koleisa bibwele na biso pene na bango, bazalaki lokola mir zingazinga na biso.
17 'And, now, know and consider what thou dost; for evil hath been determined against our lord, and against all his house, and he [is] too much a son of worthlessness to be spoken to.'
Sik’oyo, yeba kokanisa mpo na yango mpe tala eloko nini osengeli kosala, pamba te mokano ya koboma nkolo na biso mpe libota na ye mobimba esili kozwama. Nkolo na biso azali moto mabe koleka, boye moto moko te akoki kosolola na ye. »
18 And Abigail hasteth, and taketh two hundred loaves, and two bottles of wine, and five sheep, prepared, and five measures of roasted corn, and a hundred bunches of raisins, and two hundred bunches of figs, and setteth [them] on the asses.
Abigayili asalaki na lombangu, azwaki mapa nkama mibale, bambeki mibale ya vino, bameme batumba mitano, bakilo tuku motoba na mibale na bagrame nkama mitano ya ble bakalinga, maboke nkama moko ya bambuma ya vino ekawuka mpe bagato nkama mibale basala na bambuma ya figi; mpe atiaki yango na likolo ya ba-ane.
19 And she saith to her young men, 'Pass over before me; lo, after you I am coming;' and to her husband Nabal she hath not declared [it];
Bongo alobaki na basali na ye: « Bokende liboso na ngai, nazali kolanda bino. » Kasi ayebisaki mobali na ye, Nabali, te.
20 and it hath come to pass, she is riding on the ass and is coming down in the secret part of the hill-country, and lo, David and his men are coming down to meet her, and she meeteth them.
Wana Abigayili azalaki na likolo ya ane, azalaki kokita sima na ngomba. Na tango yango kaka, Davidi mpe bato na ye bazalaki mpe kokita na ngambo epai wapi Abigayili azalaki, mpe akutanaki na bango.
21 And David said, 'Only, in vain I have kept all that this [one] hath in the wilderness, and nothing hath been looked after of all that he hath, and he turneth back to me evil for good;
Davidi awutaki komilobela: « Ezalaki na pamba nde nabatelaki biloko nyonso ya moto oyo kati na esobe mpo ete eloko moko te ebunga kati na biloko na ye nyonso! Azongiseli ngai mabe na esika ya bolamu oyo nasalelaki ye!
22 thus doth God do to the enemies of David, and thus He doth add, if I leave of all that he hath till the light of the morning — of those sitting on the wall.'
Tika ete Nzambe apesa ngai Davidi etumbu ya makasi soki, kino lobi na tongo, natiki na bomoi mobali moko kati na bato nyonso oyo bazali ya Nabali! »
23 And Abigail seeth David, and hasteth and cometh down from off the ass, and falleth before David on her face, and boweth herself to the earth,
Tango Abigayili amonaki Davidi, akitaki na lombangu wuta na ane na ye mpe agumbamaki na liboso ya Davidi, elongi kino na mabele.
24 and falleth at his feet and saith, 'On me, my lord, the iniquity; and let, I pray thee, thy handmaid speak in thine ear, and hear the words of thy handmaid.
Akweyaki na makolo ya Davidi mpe alobaki: — Oh nkolo na ngai, tika ete mbeba ezala kaka na moto na ngai! Nabondeli yo, tika ete mwasi mosali na yo asolola na yo! Yoka makambo oyo mwasi mosali na yo alingi koyebisa yo.
25 'Let not, I pray thee, my lord set his heart to this man of worthlessness, on Nabal, for as his name [is] so [is] he; Nabal [is] his name, and folly [is] with him; and I, thine handmaid, did not see the young men of my lord whom thou didst send;
Tika ete nkolo na ngai atala te Nabali, mobali oyo ya mabe, pamba te azali penza ndenge kombo na ye ezali; kombo na ye ezali Nabali, mpe elingi koloba: moto ya liboma. Mpe liboma ezali penza kotambola elongo na ye. Ngai mwasi mosali na yo, namonaki te bilenge mibali oyo mokonzi na ngai atindaki.
26 and now, my lord, Jehovah liveth, and thy soul liveth, in that Jehovah hath withheld thee from coming in with blood, and to save thy hand to thee — now let thine enemies be as Nabal, even those seeking evil unto my lord.
Sik’oyo, nkolo na ngai, na Kombo na Yawe mpe na kombo na yo, lokola Yawe apesi yo nzela te ya koboma mpe ya kozongisa yo moko mabe na mabe, tika ete banguna na yo mpe bato nyonso oyo bazali makasi ya kosala mabe epai ya nkolo na ngai bazala lokola Nabali.
27 'And, now, this blessing which thy maid-servant hath brought to my lord — it hath been given to the young men who are going up and down at the feet of my lord.
Mpe tika ete bakado oyo mwasi mosali na yo amemeli nkolo na ngai epesamela mibali oyo bazali kolanda yo.
28 'Bear, I pray thee, with the transgression of thy handmaid, for Jehovah doth certainly make to my lord a stedfast house; for the battles of Jehovah hath my lord fought, and evil is not found in thee [all] thy days.
Nabondeli yo, limbisa mabe ya mwasi mosali na yo. Yawe akosala penza ete libota ya nkolo na ngai ewumela tango nyonso na bokonzi, pamba te obundaka bitumba ya Yawe. Tika ete, tango nyonso okozala na bomoi, mabe ata moko te emonana kati na yo.
29 And man riseth to pursue thee and to seek thy soul, and the soul of my lord hath been bound in the bundle of life with Jehovah thy God; as to the soul of thine enemies, He doth sling them out in the midst of the hollow of the sling.
Ezala soki moto moko atelemi mpo na kolanda yo to mpo na koboma yo, Yawe, Nzambe na yo, akobatela malamu bomoi ya nkolo na ngai kati na bato ya bomoi, kasi akobwaka banguna na yo mosika lokola na ebambelo mabanga.
30 'And it hath been, when Jehovah doth to my lord according to all the good which He hath spoken concerning thee, and appointed thee for leader over Israel,
Tango Yawe akokokisela nkolo na ngai bolamu nyonso oyo alakaki yo mpe akokomisa yo mokambi ya Isalaele,
31 that this is not to thee for a stumbling-block, and for an offence of heart to my lord — either to shed blood for nought, or my lord's restraining himself; and Jehovah hath done good to my lord, and thou hast remembered thy handmaid.'
nkolo na ngai akoyoka mawa te na motema na ye mpe akomitungisa te na makanisi mpo ete asopaki makila na pamba mpe azongisaki ye moko mabe na mabe. Bongo tango Yawe akosalela nkolo na ngai bolamu, okokanisela mwasi mosali na yo.
32 And David saith to Abigail, 'Blessed [is] Jehovah, God of Israel, who hath sent thee this day to meet me,
Davidi azongiselaki Abigayili: — Tika ete apambolama, Yawe, Nzambe ya Isalaele, oyo atindi yo kokutana na ngai na mokolo ya lelo!
33 and blessed [is] thy discretion, and blessed [art] thou in that thou hast restrained me this day from coming in with blood, and to restrain my hand to myself.
Tika ete mayele na yo epambolama! Tika ete yo moko mpe opambolama mpo ete opesi ngai nzela te ya koboma mpe ya kozongisa ngai moko mabe na mabe!
34 And yet, Jehovah liveth, God of Israel, who hath kept me back from doing evil with thee, for unless thou hadst hasted, and dost come to meet me, surely there had not been left to Nabal till the light of the morning, of those sitting on the wall.'
Nzokande, na Kombo na Yawe, Nzambe ya Isalaele, oyo apesi ngai nzela te ya kosala yo mabe, soki oyaki noki te mpo na kokutana na ngai, mobali moko te kati na ndako ya Nabali alingaki kotikala na bomoi kino lobi na tongo.
35 And David receiveth from her hand that which she hath brought to him, and to her he hath said, 'Go up in peace to thy house; see, I have hearkened to thy voice, and accept thy face.'
Boye Davidi azwaki bakado oyo Abigayili amemelaki ye mpe alobaki: — Zonga epai na yo na kimia. Nayoki maloba na yo mpe nakosala ndenge osengi ngai.
36 And Abigail cometh in unto Nabal, and lo, he hath a banquet in his house, like a banquet of the king, and the heart of Nabal [is] glad within him, and he [is] drunk unto excess, and she hath not declared to him anything, less or more, till the light of the morning.
Tango Abigayili akomaki epai ya Nabali, akutaki Nabali azali kosala feti kati na ndako na ye ndenge penza mokonzi asalaka yango. Azalaki na loyenge mpe alangwaki makasi. Boye Abigayili ayebisaki ye eloko te kino na tongo ya mokolo oyo elandaki.
37 And it cometh to pass in the morning, when the wine is gone out from Nabal, that his wife declareth to him these things, and his heart dieth within him, and he hath been as a stone.
Kasi na tongo, lokola milangwa na ye esilaki, mwasi na ye ayebisaki ye makambo nyonso oyo elekaki. Nabali ayokaki pasi na motema mpe akangamaki lokola libanga.
38 And it cometh to pass, [in] about ten days, that Jehovah smiteth Nabal, and he dieth,
Sima na mikolo zomi, Yawe abetaki Nabali, mpe akufaki.
39 and David heareth that Nabal [is] dead, and saith, 'Blessed [is] Jehovah who hath pleaded the cause of my reproach from the hand of Nabal, and His servant hath kept back from evil, and the wickedness of Nabal hath Jehovah turned back on his own head;' and David sendeth and speaketh with Abigail, to take her to him for a wife.
Tango Davidi ayokaki ete Nabali akufi, alobaki: « Tika ete apambolama, Yawe oyo akoti likambo na ngai na ndenge Nabali atiolaki ngai! Apesi te na mosali na Ye nzela ya kosala mabe, kasi akweyisi mabe ya Nabali na moto na ye moko! » Bongo Davidi atindaki maloba epai ya Abigayili mpo na kosenga ye ete akoma mwasi na ye.
40 And the servants of David come in unto Abigail at Carmel, and speak unto her, saying, 'David hath sent us unto thee to take thee to him for a wife.'
Basali ya Davidi bakendeki na Karimeli mpe balobaki na Abigayili: — Davidi atindi biso epai na yo mpo ete toya kozwa yo mpo okoma mwasi na ye.
41 And she riseth and boweth herself — face to the earth — and saith, 'Lo, thy handmaid [is] for a maid-servant to wash the feet of the servants of my lord.'
Abigayili agumbamaki elongi kino na mabele mpe alobaki: — Mwasi mosali na yo, ye oyo! Abongami mpo na kosalela bino mpe mpo na kosukola makolo ya basali ya nkolo na ngai.
42 And Abigail hasteth and riseth, and rideth on the ass; and five of her young women who are going at her feet; and she goeth after the messengers of David, and is to him for a wife.
Abigayili amataki na ane na lombangu mpe akendeki nzela moko na bantoma ya Davidi elongo na basali na ye mitano ya basi. Mpe akomaki mwasi ya Davidi.
43 And Ahinoam hath David taken from Jezreel, and they are — even both of them — to him for wives;
Davidi abalaki lisusu Ayinoami, moto ya Jizireyeli; mpe bango mibale bakomaki basi na ye.
44 and Saul gave Michal his daughter, wife to David, to Phalti son of Laish, who [is] of Gallim.
Kasi Saulo abalisaki Mikali, mwana na ye ya mwasi, oyo azalaki mwasi ya Davidi, epai ya Paliti, mwana mobali ya Laishi, moto na Galimi.
