1 Masolo ya Kala 19
1 Sima na mwa tango, Naashi, mokonzi ya bato ya Amoni, akufaki, mpe mwana na ye ya mobali akitanaki na ye na bokonzi.
And it came to pass after this, [that] Naas the king of the children of Ammon died, and Anan his son reigned in his stead.
2 Davidi amilobelaki: « Nakotalisa bolamu epai ya Anuni, mwana mobali ya Naashi, pamba te tata na ye atalisaki ngai bolamu. » Boye Davidi atindaki bato epai ya Anuni mpo na kobondisa ye na tina na kufa ya tata na ye. Tango basali ya Davidi bakomaki epai ya Anuni, na mokili ya bato ya Amoni, mpo na kobondisa ye,
And David said, I will act kindly towards Anan the son of Naas, as his father acted kindly towards me. And David sent messengers to condole with him on the death of his father. So the servants of David came into the land of the children of Ammon to Anan, to comfort him.
3 bakambi ya bato ya Amoni balobaki na Anuni: « Okanisi ete ezali mpo na kopesa tata na yo lokumu nde Davidi atindi bato mpo na kobondisa yo? Bato wana bayei epai na yo mpo na kotala mpe kononga mokili mpo ete babebisa yango. »
And the chiefs of the children of Ammon said to Anan, Is it to honour your father before you, that David has sent comforters to you? Have not his servants come to you that they might search the city, and to spy out the land?
4 Boye, Anuni akangaki basali ya Davidi, akataki bango mandefu, akataki bango bilamba kino na likolo ya mipende mpe abenganaki bango.
And Anan took the servants of David, and shaved them, and cut off the half of their garments as far as their tunic, and sent them away.
5 Tango bayebisaki Davidi makambo oyo ekweyelaki bato wana, atindaki bato mosusu mpo na kokende kokutana na bango, pamba te basambwisaki bango makasi. Mokonzi atindelaki bango maloba oyo: « Bovanda na Jeriko kino mandefu na bino ekobota, sima nde bokozonga. »
And there came men to report to David concerning the men: and he sent to meet them, for they were greatly disgraced: and the king said, Dwell in Jericho until your beards have grown, and return.
6 Tango bato ya Amoni bamonaki ete bamilukeli makambo epai ya Davidi, Anuni mpe bato ya Amoni batindaki bakilo ya palata nkoto tuku misato epai ya bato ya Siri ya Mezopotami, ya Maaka mpe ya Tsoba, mpo na kodefa bashar mpe basoda oyo babundaka bitumba likolo ya bampunda.
And the children of Ammon saw that the people of David were ashamed, and Anan and the children of Ammon sent a thousand talents of silver to hire for themselves chariots and horsemen out of Syria of Mesopotamia, and out of Syria Maacha, and from Sobal.
7 Badefaki bashar, basoda nkoto tuku misato na mibale oyo babundaka likolo ya bampunda, mpe mokonzi ya Maaka elongo na mampinga na ye. Bongo, bayaki kotonga molako na bango pembeni ya Medeba. Kaka na tango yango, bato ya Amoni basanganaki na engumba na bango mpe babimaki mpo na kobunda.
And they hired for themselves two and thirty thousand chariots, and the king of Maacha and his people; and they came and encamped before Medaba: and the children of Ammon assembled out of their cities, and came to fight.
8 Tango kaka Davidi ayokaki bongo, atindaki Joabi elongo na mampinga nyonso ya basoda ya mpiko.
And David heard, and sent Joab and all the host of mighty men.
9 Bato ya Amoni babimaki mpe batandamaki na milongo mpo na bitumba, na ekuke ya engumba na bango; kasi bakonzi oyo bayaki bazalaki na esika mosusu, kati na zamba.
And the children of Ammon came forth, and set themselves in array for battle by the gate of the city: and the kings that were come forth encamped by themselves in the plain.
10 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.
And Joab saw that they were fronting [him] to fight against him before and behind, and he chose [some] out of all the young men of Israel, and they set themselves in array against the Syrian.
11 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.
And the rest of the people he gave into the hand of his brother Abesai, and they set themselves in array against the children of Ammon.
12 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 nakosunga yo.
And he said, If the Syrian should prevail against me, then shall you deliver me: and if the children of Ammon should prevail against you, then will I deliver you.
13 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. »
Be of good courage, and let us be strong, for our people, and for the cities of our God: and the Lord shall do what [is] good in his eyes.
14 Boye, Joabi mpe basoda oyo bazalaki elongo na ye bapusanaki mpo na kobundisa bato ya Siri; mpe bato yango ya Siri bakimaki liboso na ye.
So Joab and the people that were with him set themselves in battle array against the Syrians, and they fled from them.
15 Tango bato ya Amoni bamonaki bato ya Siri kokima, bango mpe bakimaki liboso ya Abishayi, ndeko mobali ya Joabi, mpe bazongaki na engumba. Bongo, Joabi azongaki na Yelusalemi.
And the children of Ammon saw that the Syrians fled, and they also fled from before Abesai, and from before Joab his brother, and they came to the city: and Joab came to Jerusalem.
16 Tango bato ya Siri bamonaki ete Isalaele alongi bango, batindaki bantoma kobenga bato mosusu ya Siri oyo bazalaki na ngambo mosusu ya ebale Efrate. Tsofaki, mokonzi ya mampinga ya Adadezeri, azalaki liboso na bango.
And the Syrian saw that Israel had defeated him, and he sent messengers, and they brought out the Syrians from beyond the river; and Sophath the commander-in-chief of the forces of Adraazar [was] before them.
17 Tango Davidi azwaki sango yango, asangisaki bato nyonso ya Isalaele mpe akatisaki Yordani; apusanaki mpe asalaki molongo ya bitumba liboso na bango ya bato ya Siri, mpe bato ya Siri babundisaki ye.
And it was told David; and he gathered all Israel, and crossed over Jordan, and came upon them, and set the battle in array against them. So David set [his army] in array to fight against the Syrians, and they fought against him.
18 Kasi bato ya Siri bakimaki liboso ya Isalaele, mpe Davidi abomaki basoda na bango, nkoto sambo oyo babundaka bitumba likolo ya bampunda mpe basoda nkoto tuku minei oyo babundaka bitumba na makolo. Davidi abomaki lisusu Tsofaki, mokonzi na bango ya mampinga.
And the Syrians fled from before Israel; and David killed of the Syrians seven thousand [riders in] chariots, and forty thousand infantry, and he killed Sophath the commander-in-chief of the forces.
19 Tango bawumbu ya Adadezeri bamonaki ete Isalaele alongi bango, basalaki kimia elongo na Davidi mpe bakomaki na se ya bokonzi na ye. Boye bato ya Siri balingaki lisusu te kosunga bato ya Amoni.
And the servants of Adraazar saw that they were defeated before Israel, and they made peace with David and served him: and the Syrians would not any more help the children of Ammon.
