1 Samuele 10
1 Bongo Samuele azwaki molangi ya mafuta, asopaki yango na moto ya Saulo, ayambaki ye mpe alobaki: « Boni, Yawe apakoli yo mafuta te mpo ete ozala mokambi ya libula na Ye?
And Samuel takes the vial of the oil, and pours [it] on his head, and kisses him, and says, “Is it not because YHWH has appointed you over His inheritance for leader?
2 Sima na yo kotika ngai na mokolo ya lelo, okokutana na mibali mibale pembeni ya kunda ya Rasheli, na Tselitsa, na bandelo ya mokili ya Benjame. Bakoloba na yo: ‹ Ba-ane oyo okendeki koluka emonani. Mpe, sik’oyo, tata na yo atiki komitungisa na tina na yango, kasi akomi nde komitungisa mpo na bino. Azali komituna: ‘Nakosala nini mpo na mwana na ngai ya mobali.’ › »
In your going from me today—then you have found two men by the grave of Rachel, in the border of Benjamin, at Zelzah, and they have said to you, The donkeys have been found which you have gone to seek; and behold, your father has left the matter of the donkeys, and has sorrowed for you, saying, What do I do for my son?
3 Kolongwa wana, okokende mwa mosika kino okokoma na nzete monene ya Tabori epai wapi okokutana na mibali misato oyo bakozala komata epai ya Nzambe, na Beteli. Moko akomema bana misato ya ntaba; mosusu, biteni misato ya mapa; mpe mosusu, molangi ya vino.
And you have passed on there, and beyond, and have come to the oak of Tabor, and three men going up to God to Beth-El have found you there, one carrying three kids, and one carrying three cakes of bread, and one carrying a bottle of wine,
4 Bakopesa yo mbote mpe bakokabela yo mapa mibale. Okozwa yango na maboko na bango.
and they have asked of your welfare, and given two loaves to you, and you have received from their hand.
5 Sima na yango, okokende na Gibea ya Nzambe epai wapi bayangeli ya Filisitia bazali. Wana okopusana na engumba, okokutana na ngulupa ya basakoli kowuta na esambelo ya likolo ya ngomba. Liboso na bango, ekozala na babeti mandanda, bambunda ya mike, baflite mpe banzenze. Wana bakozala kobeta mindule, basakoli yango bakokoma kosakola.
Afterward you come to the hill of God, where the garrison of the Philistines [is], and it comes to pass, at your coming in there to the city, that you have met a band of prophets coming down from the high place, and before them stringed instrument, and tambourine, and pipe, and harp, and they are prophesying;
6 Bongo Molimo na Yawe akokitela yo na nguya, okosakola elongo na bango, mpe okobongwana moto ya lolenge mosusu.
and the Spirit of YHWH has prospered over you, and you have prophesied with them, and have turned into a [new] man;
7 Soki kaka omoni bilembo oyo kokokisama, wana sala na yo nyonso oyo okoki kosala mpo na yo moko, pamba te Nzambe azali elongo na yo.
and it has been, when these signs come to you—do for yourself as your hand finds, for God [is] with you.
8 Bongo okotambola liboso na ngai mpo na kokende na Giligali, mpe ngai nakokuta yo kuna mpo na kobonza bambeka ya kotumba mpe bambeka ya boyokani. Kasi osengeli kozela mikolo sambo kino naya kokuta yo; mpe nakoyebisa yo makambo oyo osengeli kosala.
And you have gone down before me to Gilgal, and behold, I am going down to you, to cause burnt-offerings to ascend, to sacrifice sacrifices of peace-offerings; you wait [for] seven days until my coming to you, and I have made known to you that which you do.”
9 Tango kaka Saulo abalukaki mpo na kotika Samuele, Nzambe abongolaki motema ya Saulo, mpe bilembo nyonso ekokisamaki mokolo wana kaka.
And it has been, at his turning his shoulder to go from Samuel, that God turns to him another heart, and all these signs come on that day,
10 Tango bakomaki na Gibea, ngulupa ya basakoli ekutanaki na ye; bongo Molimo ya Nzambe akitelaki ye na nguya, mpe akomaki kosakola kati na bango.
and they come in there to the height, and behold, a band of prophets [is there] to meet him, and the Spirit of God prospers over him, and he prophesies in their midst.
11 Tango bato nyonso oyo bayebi Saulo wuta kala bamonaki ye kosakola elongo na basakoli bamitunaki: « Likambo nini ekweyi na bomoi ya mwana mobali ya Kishi? Boni, Saulo mpe azali moko kati na basakoli? »
And it comes to pass, all knowing him before, see, and behold, he has prophesied with prophets, and the people say to one another, “What [is] this [that] has happened to the son of Kish? Is Saul also among the prophets?”
12 Moko kati na bato oyo bazalaki wana alobaki: « Bongo nani azali motambolisi na bango? » Ezali ndenge wana nde ebandaki lisese oyo: « Saulo mpe azali moko kati na basakoli? »
And a man there answers and says, “And who [is] their father?” Therefore it has been for an allegory, “Is Saul also among the prophets?”
13 Tango Saulo asilisaki kosakola, akendeki na esambelo ya likolo ya ngomba.
And he ceases from prophesying, and comes to the high place,
14 Noko ya Saulo atunaki Saulo mpe mosali na ye: — Bokendeki wapi? Saulo azongisaki: — Tokendeki koluka ba-ane. Kasi lokola tomonaki yango te, yango wana tokendeki epai ya Samuele.
and the uncle of Saul says to him, and to his young man, “To where did you go?” And he says, “To seek the donkeys; and we see that they are not, and we come to Samuel.”
15 Noko ya Saulo alobaki lisusu: — Nabondeli yo, yebisa ngai makambo oyo Samuele alobaki na bino.
And the uncle of Saul says, “Please declare to me what Samuel said to you.”
16 Saulo azongiselaki noko na ye: — Ayebisaki biso ete ba-ane ekomonana solo. Kasi Saulo ayebisaki noko na ye te makambo oyo Samuele alobaki na ye na tina na bokonzi.
And Saul says to his uncle, “He certainly declared to us that the donkeys were found”; and of the matter of the kingdom he has not declared to him that which Samuel said.
17 Samuele abengisaki, na Mitsipa, bato ya Isalaele liboso ya Yawe
And Samuel calls the people to YHWH to Mizpeh,
18 mpe alobaki na bango: « Tala makambo oyo Yawe, Nzambe ya Isalaele, alobi: ‹ Ngai moko nde nabimisaki Isalaele wuta na Ejipito mpe nakangolaki bino na maboko ya bato ya Ejipito mpe ya bokonzi nyonso oyo ezalaki konyokola bino. ›
and says to the sons of Israel, “Thus said YHWH, God of Israel: I have brought up Israel out of Egypt, and I deliver you out of the hand of the Egyptians, and out of the hand of all the kingdoms who are oppressing you;
19 Kasi, na mokolo ya lelo, bobwaki Nzambe na bino, oyo abikisaka bino na pasi na bino nyonso mpe na minyoko na bino. Mpe bolobi na Ye: ‹ Ponela biso mokonzi oyo akokamba biso! › Lokola ezali bongo, botelema sik’oyo bino moko liboso ya Yawe kolanda bikolo mpe bituka na bino. »
and you have rejected your God today, who [is] Himself your Savior out of all your evils and your distresses, and you say, No, but you set a king over us; and now, station yourselves before YHWH, by your tribes, and by your thousands.”
20 Samuele abengaki ekolo moko na moko ya Isalaele, mpe ekolo ya Benjame eponamaki.
And Samuel brings all the tribes of Israel near, and the tribe of Benjamin is captured,
21 Abengaki etuka moko na moko ya ekolo ya Benjame, mpe etuka ya Matiri eponamaki. Na suka, ezalaki Saulo, mwana mobali ya Kishi, nde aponamaki. Kasi tango balukaki ye, bamonaki ye te.
and he brings the tribe of Benjamin near by its families, and the family of Matri is captured, and Saul son of Kish is captured, and they seek him, and he has not been found.
22 Boye, batunaki lisusu Yawe: — Boni, ezali lisusu na moto oyo ayaki awa? Yawe azongisaki: — Iyo! Botala ye wana, abombami kati na biloko.
And they ask again of YHWH, “Has the man come here yet?” And YHWH says, “Behold, he has been hidden near the vessels.”
23 Bapotaki mbangu mpo na kobimisa ye, mpe batelemisaki ye kati na bato; mpe emonanaki ete aleki bato nyonso na molayi.
And they run and bring him there, and he stationed himself in the midst of the people, and he is higher than any of the people from his shoulder and upward.
24 Bongo Samuele alobaki na bato nyonso: — Botala moto oyo Yawe aponi! Kati na bato nyonso, moko te akokani na ye. Bato bazongisaki na koganga: — Tika ete mokonzi awumela na bomoi!
And Samuel says to all the people, “Have you seen him on whom YHWH has fixed, for there is none like him among all the people?” And all the people shout, and say, “Let the king live!”
25 Samuele alimbolelaki bato makambo oyo etali bokonzi, akomaki yango na buku mpe atiaki liboso ya Yawe. Sima na yango, azongisaki bato, moto na moto na ndako na ye.
And Samuel speaks to the people the right of the kingdom, and writes in a scroll, and places [it] before YHWH; and Samuel sends all the people away, each to his house.
26 Saulo mpe azongaki na ndako na ye, na Gibea, elongo na bilombe mibali oyo Nzambe asimbaki mitema na bango mpo ete balanda ye.
And Saul has also gone to his house, to Gibeah, and the force goes with him whose heart God has touched;
27 Kasi ezalaki na ndambo ya bato ya kilikili oyo bazalaki koloba: « Moto oyo akokoka kobikisa biso ndenge nini? » Batiolaki ye mpe bapesaki ye ata kado moko te. Kasi Saulo avandaki kimia.
and the sons of worthlessness have said, “How can this one save us?” And they despise him, and have not brought a present to him; and he is as one being deaf.
