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 cometh to pass after this, that Nahash king of the sons of Ammon dieth, and his son reigneth 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 saith, 'I do kindness with Hanun son of Nahash, for his father did with me kindness;' and David sendeth messengers to comfort him concerning his father. And the servants of David come in unto the land of the sons of Ammon, unto 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 heads of the sons of Ammon say to Hanun, 'Is David honouring thy father, in thine eyes, because he hath sent to thee comforters? in order to search, and to overthrow, and to spy out, the land, have not his servants come in unto thee?'
4 Boye, Anuni akangaki basali ya Davidi, akataki bango mandefu, akataki bango bilamba kino na likolo ya mipende mpe abenganaki bango.
And Hanun taketh the servants of David, and shaveth them, and cutteth their long robes in the midst, unto the buttocks, and sendeth 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 [some] go, and declare to David concerning the men, and he sendeth to meet them — for the men have been greatly ashamed — and the king saith, 'Dwell in Jericho till that your beard is grown, then ye have returned.'
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 sons of Ammon see that they have made themselves abhorred by David, and Hanun and the sons of Ammon send a thousand talents of silver, to hire to them, from Aram-Naharaim, and from Aram-Maachah, and from Zobah, chariots and horsemen;
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 hire to them two and thirty thousand chariots, and the king of Maachah and his people, and they come in and encamp before Medeba, and the sons of Ammon have been gathered out of their cities, and come in to the battle.
8 Tango kaka Davidi ayokaki bongo, atindaki Joabi elongo na mampinga nyonso ya basoda ya mpiko.
And David heareth, and sendeth Joab, and all the host of the 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 sons of Ammon come out and set battle in array at the opening of the city, and the kings who have come [are] by themselves in the field.
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 seeth that the front of the battle hath been unto him, before and behind, and he chooseth out of all the choice in Israel, and setteth in array to meet Aram,
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 remnant of the people he hath given into the hand of Abishai his brother, and they set in array to meet the sons 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 saith, 'If Aram be stronger than I, then thou hast been to me for salvation; and if the sons of Ammon be stronger than thou, then I have saved 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 we strengthen ourselves, for our people, and for the cities of our God, and Jehovah doth that which 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.
And Joab draweth nigh, and the people who [are] with him, before Aram to battle, and they flee from his face;
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 sons of Ammon have seen that Aram hath fled, and they flee — they also — from the face of Abishai his brother, and go in to the city. And Joab cometh in 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 Aram seeth that they have been smitten before Israel, and send messengers, and bring out Aram that [is] beyond the River, and Shophach head of the host of Hadarezer [is] 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 is declared to David, and he gathereth all Israel, and passeth over the Jordan, and cometh in unto them, and setteth in array against them; yea, David setteth in array the battle to meet Aram, and they fight 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.
and Aram fleeth from the face of Israel, and David slayeth of Aram seven thousand charioteers, and forty thousand footmen, and Shophach head of the host he hath put to death.
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 Hadarezer see that they have been smitten before Israel, and they make peace with David and serve him, and Aram hath not been willing to help the sons of Ammon any more.
