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.
After this also Nahash the King of the children of Ammon dyed, and his sonne 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 Dauid said, I will shew kindnesse vnto Hanun the sonne of Nahash, because his father shewed kindnesse vnto me. And Dauid sent messengers to comfort him for his father. So the seruants of Dauid came into the lande of the children of Ammon to Hanun 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 princes of the children of Ammon said to Hanun, Thinkest thou that Dauid doeth honour thy father, that he hath sent comforters vnto thee? Are not his seruants come to thee to search, to seeke and to spie out the land?
4 Boye, Anuni akangaki basali ya Davidi, akataki bango mandefu, akataki bango bilamba kino na likolo ya mipende mpe abenganaki bango.
Wherefore Hanun tooke Dauids seruants, and shaued them, and cut off their garments by the halfe vnto the buttocks, 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 went certaine and tolde Dauid concerning the men: and he sent to meete them (for the men were exceedingly ashamed) and the King saide, Tarie at Iericho, vntill your beardes be growen: then returne.
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.
When the children of Ammon saw that they stanke in the sight of Dauid, then sent Hanun and the children of Ammon a thousande talents of siluer to hire them charets and horsemen out of Aram Naharaim and out of Aram Maachah, and out of Zobah.
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 them two and thirty thousande charets, and the King of Maachah and his people, which came and pitched before Medeba: and the children of Ammon gathered themselues together from their cities, and came to the battell.
8 Tango kaka Davidi ayokaki bongo, atindaki Joabi elongo na mampinga nyonso ya basoda ya mpiko.
And when Dauid heard, he sent Ioab and all the hoste of the valiant 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 out, and set their battell in aray at the gate of the citie. And the Kings that were come, were by them selues in the fielde.
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.
When Ioab saw that the front of the battel was against him before and behinde, then he chose out of all the choyse of Israel, and set him selfe in aray to meete the Aramites.
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 deliuered vnto the hande of Abishai his brother, and they put them selues in aray 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 saide, If Aram be too strong for me, then thou shalt succour me: and if the children of Ammon preuaile against thee, then I wil succour thee.
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 strong, and let vs shewe our selues valiant for our people, and for the cities of our God, and let the Lord doe that which is good in his owne sight.
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 Ioab and the people that was with him, came neere before the Aramites vnto the battel, and they fled before him.
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 when the children of Ammon sawe that the Aramites fled, they fled also before Abishai his brother, and entred into the citie: so Ioab came to Ierusalem.
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 when the Aramites sawe that they were discomfited before Israel, they sent messengers and caused the Aramites to come forth that were beyond the riuer: and Shophach the captaine of the hoste of Hadarezer went 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 when it was shewed Dauid, he gathered all Israel, and went ouer Iorden, and came vnto them, and put him selfe in aray against them: And when Dauid had put him selfe in battel aray to meete the Aramites, they fought with 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.
But the Aramites fled before Israel, and Dauid destroyed of the Aramites seuen thousand charets, and fourtie thousand footemen, and killed Shophach the captaine of the hoste.
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 when the seruants of Hadarezer sawe that they fell before Israel, they made peace with Dauid, and serued him. And the Aramites would no more succour the children of Ammon.
