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?
Then Samuel took the vial of oil, and poured it upon his head, and kissed him, and said, Is it not that the LORD hath anointed thee to be prince over his inheritance?
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.’ › »
When thou art departed from me today, then thou shalt find two men by Rachel’s sepulchre, in the border of Benjamin at Zelzah; and they will say unto thee, The asses which thou wentest to seek are found: and, lo, thy father hath left the care of the asses, and taketh thought for you, saying, What shall 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.
Then shalt thou go on forward from thence, and thou shalt come to the oak of Tabor, and there shall meet thee there three men going up to God to Beth-el, one carrying three kids, and another carrying three loaves of bread, and another carrying a bottle of wine:
4 Bakopesa yo mbote mpe bakokabela yo mapa mibale. Okozwa yango na maboko na bango.
and they will salute thee, and give thee two loaves of bread; which thou shalt receive of 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.
After that thou shalt come to the hill of God, where is the garrison of the Philistines: and it shall come to pass, when thou art come thither to the city, that thou shalt meet a band of prophets coming down from the high place with a psaltery, and a timbrel, and a pipe, and a harp, before them; and they shall be prophesying:
6 Bongo Molimo na Yawe akokitela yo na nguya, okosakola elongo na bango, mpe okobongwana moto ya lolenge mosusu.
and the spirit of the LORD will come mightily upon thee, and thou shalt prophesy with them, and shalt be turned into another 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 let it be, when these signs are come unto thee, that thou do as occasion serve thee; for God is with thee.
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 thou shalt go down before me to Gilgal; and, behold, I will come down unto thee, to offer burnt offerings, and to sacrifice sacrifices of peace offerings: seven days shalt thou tarry, till I come unto thee, and shew thee what thou shalt do.
9 Tango kaka Saulo abalukaki mpo na kotika Samuele, Nzambe abongolaki motema ya Saulo, mpe bilembo nyonso ekokisamaki mokolo wana kaka.
And it was so, that when he had turned his back to go from Samuel, God gave him another heart: and all those signs came to pass 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 when they came thither to the hill, behold, a band of prophets met him; and the spirit of God came mightily upon him, and he prophesied among them.
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 came to pass, when all that knew him beforetime saw that, behold, he prophesied with the prophets, then the people said one to another, What is this that is come unto 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 one of the same place answered and said, And who is their father? Therefore it became a proverb, Is Saul also among the prophets?
13 Tango Saulo asilisaki kosakola, akendeki na esambelo ya likolo ya ngomba.
And when he had made an end of prophesying, he came 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 Saul’s uncle said unto him and to his servant, Whither went ye? And he said, To seek the asses: and when we saw that they were not found, we came to Samuel.
15 Noko ya Saulo alobaki lisusu: — Nabondeli yo, yebisa ngai makambo oyo Samuele alobaki na bino.
And Saul’s uncle said, Tell me, I pray thee, what Samuel said unto 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 said unto his uncle, He told us plainly that the asses were found. But concerning the matter of the kingdom, whereof Samuel spake, he told him not.
17 Samuele abengisaki, na Mitsipa, bato ya Isalaele liboso ya Yawe
And Samuel called the people together unto the LORD to Mizpah;
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 he said unto the children of Israel, Thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel, I brought up Israel out of Egypt, and I delivered you out of the hand of the Egyptians, and out of the hand of all the kingdoms that oppressed 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. »
but ye have this day rejected your God, who himself saveth you out of all your calamities and your distresses; and ye have said unto him, [Nay], but set a king over us. Now therefore present yourselves before the LORD by your tribes, and by your thousands.
20 Samuele abengaki ekolo moko na moko ya Isalaele, mpe ekolo ya Benjame eponamaki.
So Samuel brought all the tribes of Israel near, and the tribe of Benjamin was taken.
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 brought the tribe of Benjamin near by their families, and the family of the Matrites was taken: and Saul the son of Kish was taken; but when they sought him, he could not be found.
22 Boye, batunaki lisusu Yawe: — Boni, ezali lisusu na moto oyo ayaki awa? Yawe azongisaki: — Iyo! Botala ye wana, abombami kati na biloko.
Therefore they asked of the LORD further, Is there yet a man to come hither? And the LORD answered, Behold, he hath hid himself among the stuff.
23 Bapotaki mbangu mpo na kobimisa ye, mpe batelemisaki ye kati na bato; mpe emonanaki ete aleki bato nyonso na molayi.
And they ran and fetched him thence; and when he stood among the people, he was higher than any of the people from his shoulders 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 said to all the people, See ye him whom the LORD hath chosen, that there is none like him among all the people? And all the people shouted, and said, God save the king.
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.
Then Samuel told the people the manner of the kingdom, and wrote it in a book, and laid it up before the LORD. And Samuel sent all the people away, every man 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 also went to his house to Gibeah; and there went with him the host, whose hearts God had 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.
But certain sons of Belial said, How shall this man save us? And they despised him, and brought him no present. But he held his peace.
