1 Masolo ya Kala 11

1 Bato nyonso ya Isalaele basanganaki na Ebron, epai ya Davidi mpe balobaki: « Biso na yo, tozali nzoto moko mpe makila moko na yo.

Then all Israel came together to David at Hebron and said, “Here we are, your own flesh and blood.

2 Na kala, ezala na mikolo oyo Saulo azalaki mokonzi, yo nde ozalaki kokamba mampinga ya Isalaele na bitumba. Nzokande, Yawe, Nzambe na yo, alobaki na yo: ‹ Yo nde okokamba bato na Ngai, Isalaele, mpe okokoma mokambi na bango. › »

Even in times past, while Saul was king, you were the one who led Israel out and brought them back. And the LORD your God said, ‘You will shepherd My people Israel, and you will be ruler over them.’”

3 Tango bampaka nyonso ya Isalaele bayaki na Ebron epai ya mokonzi, Davidi asalaki elongo na bango boyokani, na Ebron, liboso ya Yawe; mpe bapakolaki Davidi mafuta mpo ete akoma mokonzi ya Isalaele, kolanda Liloba na Yawe na nzela ya Samuele.

So all the elders of Israel came to the king at Hebron, where David made a covenant with them before the LORD. And they anointed him king over Israel, according to the word of the LORD through Samuel.

4 Davidi mpe bato nyonso ya Isalaele bakendeki kobundisa Yelusalemi oyo bazalaki kobenga « Yebusi. » Bato oyo bazalaki kovanda kuna bazali bato ya Yebusi.

Then David and all the Israelites marched to Jerusalem (that is, Jebus), where the Jebusites inhabited the land.

5 Bavandi ya Yebusi balobaki na Davidi: « Okokota awa te! » Kasi Davidi abotolaki ndako makasi ya Siona, oyo ezali engumba ya Davidi.

The people of Jebus said to David, “You will never get in here.” Nevertheless, David captured the fortress of Zion (that is, the City of David).

6 Davidi alobaki na bato na ye: « Moto oyo akobundisa mpe akolonga bato ya Yebusi, akokoma mokonzi ya liboso ya basoda. » Joabi, mwana mobali ya Tseruya, atelemaki moto ya liboso mpo na kobundisa bato ya Yebusi mpe akomaki mokonzi ya liboso ya mampinga.

Now David had said, “Whoever is the first to strike down a Jebusite will become chief commander.” And Joab son of Zeruiah went up first, and he became the chief.

7 Davidi avandaki na ndako yango oyo batonga makasi; yango wana babengaki yango « Engumba ya Davidi. »

So David took up residence in the fortress; that is why it was called the City of David.

8 Mpe atongaki bandako zingazinga na yango, longwa na Milo kino na mir ya kati. Bongo Joabi abongisaki bisika oyo etikalaki kati na engumba.

He built up the city around it, from the supporting terraces to the surrounding wall, while Joab restored the rest of the city.

9 Nguya ya Davidi ezalaki komata se komata, mpe Yawe, Nkolo-Na-Nguya-Nyonso, azalaki elongo na ye.

And David became greater and greater, for the LORD of Hosts was with him.

10 Tala bakombo ya bakonzi ya basoda ya mpiko ya Davidi oyo, elongo na Isalaele mobimba, basungaki ye mpo na kokomisa bokonzi na ye makasi, kolanda liloba oyo Yawe alobaki na tina na Isalaele.

Now these were the chiefs of David’s mighty men, who, together with all Israel, bolstered and strengthened his kingdom, according to the word of the LORD concerning Israel.

11 Tala bakombo ya basoda ya mpiko ya Davidi: Yashobeami, mwana mobali ya Akimoni, azalaki mokonzi ya limpinga ya basoda misato ya mpiko; abomaki na likonga bato nkama misato na etumba moko.

This is the list of David’s mighty men: Jashobeam son of Hachmoni was chief of the officers; he wielded his spear against three hundred men, whom he killed at one time.

12 Eleazari, mwana mobali ya Dodo, moto ya Aoyi: azalaki moko kati na limpinga ya basoda misato ya mpiko;

Next in command was Eleazar son of Dodo the Ahohite, one of the three mighty men.

13 mpe azalaki elongo na Davidi, na engumba Pasi-Damini, tango bato ya Filisitia basanganaki mpo na bitumba, mpe basoda ya Isalaele bakimaki liboso na bango. Ezalaki kuna mpe na elanga moko etonda na bambuma ya orje.

He was with David at Pas-dammim when the Philistines gathered there for battle. At the place with a field full of barley, the troops fled from the Philistines.

14 Kasi basoda ya Eleazari babombamaki kati na elanga, babundelaki yango mpe babomaki bato ya Filisitia. Yawe apesaki bango elonga monene.

But Eleazar and David stationed themselves in the middle of the field and defended it. They struck down the Philistines, and the LORD brought about a great victory.

15 Kati na basoda tuku misato ya mpiko, misato bayaki epai ya Davidi, na libanga monene oyo ezalaki pene ya ebombamelo ya mabanga ya Adulami. Nzokande, basoda ya bato ya Filisitia batongaki molako na bango kati na lubwaku ya bakitani ya Rafa.

Three of the thirty chief men went down to David, to the rock at the cave of Adullam, while a company of Philistines was encamped in the Valley of Rephaim.

16 Na tango yango, Davidi azalaki kati na ebombamelo moko batonga makasi, mpe basoda ya Filisitia bazalaki kati na Beteleemi.

At that time David was in the stronghold, and the garrison of the Philistines was at Bethlehem.

17 Mbala moko, Davidi ayokaki posa ya mayi mpe alobaki: « Nani akomemela ngai mayi ya libulu oyo ezali pene ya ekuke ya Beteleemi mpo ete namela? »

David longed for water and said, “Oh, that someone would get me a drink of water from the well near the gate of Bethlehem!”

18 Basoda nyonso misato ya mpiko bakotaki na mayele kati na molako ya bato ya Filisitia, batokaki mayi na libulu oyo ezali pene ya ekuke ya Beteleemi mpe bamemaki yango epai ya Davidi. Kasi Davidi aboyaki komela mayi yango; asopaki yango na mabele lokola likabo ya masanga mpo na Yawe.

So the Three broke through the Philistine camp, drew water from the well at the gate of Bethlehem, and brought it back to David. But he refused to drink it; instead, he poured it out to the LORD,

19 Davidi alobaki: « Tika ete Nzambe na ngai apesa ngai etumbu soki nameli mayi oyo! Boni, namela penza mayi oyo ezali lokola makila ya bato oyo bandimaki kokende mpe batekaki milimo na bango mpo ete batoka yango? » Davidi aboyaki komela mayi yango. Yango nde misala ya kokamwa oyo basoda misato ya mpiko basalaki.

saying, “Far be it from me, my God, to do this! How can I drink the blood of these men who risked their lives?” Because they had brought it at the risk of their lives, David refused to drink it. Such were the exploits of the three mighty men.

20 Abishayi, ndeko mobali ya Joabi, azalaki mokonzi ya basoda misato ya mpiko. Abundisaki bato nkama misato na likonga na ye mpe abomaki bango. Boye, kati na bango misato, ye nde akendeki sango koleka.

Now Abishai, the brother of Joab, was chief of the Three, and he lifted his spear against three hundred men, killed them, and won a name along with the Three.

21 Kati na basoda misato ya mpiko ya limpinga ya mibale, ye nde azwaki lokumu koleka mpe akomaki mokonzi na bango, kasi akokanaki te na basoda misato ya limpinga ya liboso.

He was doubly honored above the Three, and he became their commander, even though he was not included among the Three.

22 Benaya, moto ya mboka Kabitseli mpe mwana mobali ya Yeoyada, azalaki soda ya mpiko mpe asalaki makambo ebele ya kokamwa: abomaki bilombe mibale ya mboka Moabi; mpe na mokolo moko ya mvula ya pembe, akitaki na libulu moko ya mayi mpe abomaki kuna nkosi.

And Benaiah son of Jehoiada was a man of valor from Kabzeel, a man of many exploits. He struck down two champions of Moab, and on a snowy day he went down into a pit and killed a lion.

23 Ye mpe moto abomaki mbinga mobali moko ya Ejipito, oyo azalaki na bametele mibale na basantimetele tuku mitano na molayi, mpe asimbaki na loboko na ye likonga moko lokola libaya oyo basali bilamba na maboko basalelaka. Abundisaki moto ya Ejipito na lingenda, abotolaki ye likonga oyo azalaki na yango na loboko mpe abomaki ye na likonga na ye moko.

He also killed an Egyptian, a huge man five cubits tall. Although the Egyptian had a spear like a weaver’s beam in his hand, Benaiah went against him with a club, snatched the spear from his hand, and killed the Egyptian with his own spear.

24 Yango nde misala ya kokamwa oyo Benaya, mwana mobali ya Yeoyada, asalaki; ye mpe akendeki sango kati na basoda misato ya mpiko.

These were the exploits of Benaiah son of Jehoiada, who won a name alongside the three mighty men.

25 Kati na basoda tuku misato ya mpiko, ye nde azalaki na lokumu monene koleka, kasi akokanaki te na basoda misato ya mpiko ya limpinga ya liboso. Mpe Davidi akomisaki ye mokonzi ya bakengeli na ye.

He was most honored among the Thirty, but he did not become one of the Three. And David appointed him over his guard.
