< 1 Samuele 12 >

1 Samuele alobaki na bato nyonso ya Isalaele: — Napesi nyonso oyo bolobaki na ngai: natieli bino mokonzi.
Samuel then said vnto all Israel, Behold, I haue hearkened vnto your voyce in all that yee sayde vnto mee, and haue appoynted a King ouer you.
2 Bozali sik’oyo na mokonzi lokola mokambi. Kasi ngai nakomi mobange, nasili na ngai konuna, mpe bana na ngai ya mibali bazali awa elongo na bino. Nazalaki mokambi na bino wuta bolenge na ngai kino na mokolo ya lelo.
Now therefore behold, your King walketh before you, and I am old and graie headed, and beholde, my sonnes are with you: and I haue walked before you from my childehood vnto this day.
3 Natelemi lelo liboso na bino. Bofunda ngai liboso ya Yawe mpe liboso ya mopakolami na Ye. Nazwaki ngombe ya nani? Nazwaki ane ya nani? Nanyokolaki nani, mpe namonisaki nani pasi? Nazwaki kanyaka na maboko ya nani mpo na kokanga miso na ngai? Soki nasalaki likambo moko kati na makambo oyo nyonso, nakozongisa yango.
Beholde, here I am: beare recorde of me before the Lord and before his Anointed. Whose oxe haue I taken? or whose asse haue I taken? or whome haue I done wrong to? or whome haue I hurt? or of whose hande haue I receiued any bribe, to blinde mine eyes therewith, and I will restore it you?
4 Bato bazongiselaki ye: — Onyokolaki biso te mpe omonisaki biso pasi te; ozwaki ata eloko moko te na maboko ya moto.
Then they sayde, Thou hast done vs no wrong, nor hast hurt vs, neither hast thou taken ought of any mans hand.
5 Samuele alobaki na bango: — Yawe azali Motatoli mpo na kotelemela bino, mpe mopakolami na Ye azali motatoli na mokolo ya lelo ete bomoni ata eloko moko te kati na maboko na ngai. Bato bazongisaki: — Azali penza Motatoli.
And he saide vnto them, The Lord is witnesse against you, and his Anointed is witnesse this day, that yee haue founde nought in mine handes. And they answered, He is witnesse.
6 Bongo Samuele alobaki na bato: — Ezali Yawe nde aponaki Moyize mpe Aron, mpe Ye nde abimisaki bakoko na bino na Ejipito.
Then Samuel sayde vnto the people, It is the Lord that made Moses and Aaron, and that brought your fathers out of the land of Egypt.
7 Sik’oyo, botelema awa liboso na Ye, pamba te nalingi kosamba na bosolo elongo na bino, liboso ya Yawe, na tina na makambo nyonso ya bosembo oyo Yawe asalaki mpo na bino mpe mpo na bakoko na bino.
Nowe therefore stand still, that I may reason with you before the Lord according to all the righteousnesse of the Lord, which he shewed to you and to your fathers.
8 Sima na Jakobi kokota na Ejipito, bakoko na bino bagangaki epai na Yawe mpo na kosenga lisungi. Mpe Yawe atindaki Moyize mpe Aron oyo babimisaki bango na Ejipito mpo na kovandisa bango na esika oyo.
After that Iaakob was come into Egypt, and your fathers cried vnto the Lord, then the Lord sent Moses and Aaron which brought your fathers out of Egypt, and made them dwell in this place.
9 Kasi babosanaki Yawe, Nzambe na bango. Yango wana Ye Yawe akabaki bango na maboko ya Sisera, mokonzi ya basoda ya Atsori; na maboko ya bato ya Filisitia mpe na maboko ya mokonzi ya Moabi oyo babundisaki bango.
And when they forgate the Lord their God, he solde them into the hand of Sisera captaine of the hoste of Hazor, and into the hand of the Philistims, and into the hande of the king of Moab, and they fought against them.
10 Bongo bagangaki lisusu epai na Yawe mpo na kosenga lisungi; balobaki: « Tosali masumu, pamba te tosundoli Yawe mpe tosaleli banzambe Bala mpe Asitarite. Kasi sik’oyo, kangola biso na maboko ya banguna na biso, mpe tokosalela Yo. »
And they cried vnto the Lord, and saide, We haue sinned, because we haue forsaken the Lord, and haue serued Baalim and Ashtaroth. Nowe therefore deliuer vs out of the handes of our enemies, and we will serue thee.
11 Boye, Yawe atindaki Yerubali oyo babengi Jedeon, Bedani, Jefite mpe Samuele. Akangolaki bino na maboko ya banguna na bino, oyo bazingelaki bino na bangambo nyonso. Mpe bovandaki na kimia.
Therefore the Lord sent Ierubbaal and Bedan and Iphtaph, and Samuel, and deliuered you out of the handes of your enemies on euery side, and yee dwelled safe.
12 Kasi tango bomonaki Naashi, mokonzi ya bato ya Amoni, koya kobundisa bino, bolobaki na ngai: « Te! Tozali na posa ya mokonzi mpo na kokamba biso. » Nzokande ezali Yawe, Nzambe na bino, nde azalaki mokonzi na bino.
Notwithstanding when you sawe, that Nahash the King of the children of Ammon came against you, ye sayde vnto me, No, but a King shall reigne ouer vs: when yet the Lord your God was your King.
13 Sik’oyo, botala mokonzi oyo boponaki, mokonzi oyo bosengaki. Ezali Yawe nde atie ye mokonzi mpo na kokamba bino.
Nowe therefore beholde the King whome yee haue chosen, and whome yee haue desired: loe therefore, the Lord hath set a King ouer you.
14 Kobanda lelo, soki botosi Yawe, soki bosaleli Ye, soki bobateli mitindo na Ye, mpe soki bino elongo na mokonzi oyo azali kokamba bino bolandi Yawe, Nzambe na bino, makambo nyonso ekotambola malamu.
If ye wil feare the Lord and serue him, and heare his voyce, and not disobey the worde of the Lord, both yee, and the King that reigneth ouer you, shall follow the Lord your God.
15 Kasi soki botosi Yawe te mpe bobateli te mibeko na Ye, loboko na Ye ekobalukela bino ndenge ebalukelaki bakoko na bino.
But if yee will not obey the voyce of the Lord, but disobey the Lordes mouth, then shall the hand of the Lord be vpon you, and on your fathers.
16 Yango wana sik’oyo lisusu, bobongama mpo na kotala likambo monene oyo Yawe alingi kosala na miso na bino.
Nowe also stande and see this great thing which the Lord will doe before your eyes.
17 Boni, mokolo ya lelo ezali te tango ya kobuka ble? Nakobelela Yawe mpo ete atinda kake mpe mvula, bongo bokomona mpe bokososola ndenge nini ezali monene, mabe oyo bosalaki na miso ya Yawe tango bosengaki mokonzi.
Is it not nowe wheat haruest? I wil call vnto the Lord, and he shall send thunder and raine, that yee may perceiue and see, howe that your wickednesse is great, which ye haue done in the sight of the Lord in asking you a King.
18 Bongo Samuele abelelaki Yawe, mpe, na mokolo wana kaka, Yawe atindaki kake mpe mvula. Boye bato nyonso babangaki makasi Yawe mpe Samuele.
Then Samuel called vnto the Lord, and the Lord sent thunder and raine the same day: and all the people feared the Lord and Samuel exceedingly.
19 Bato nyonso balobaki na Samuele: — Sambela Yawe, Nzambe na yo, mpo na basali na yo mpo ete tokufa te, pamba te tobakisaki lisusu na likolo ya masumu na biso, likambo ya mabe ya kosenga mokonzi mpo na biso.
And all the people said vnto Samuel, Pray for thy seruaunts vnto the Lord thy God, that we die not: for we haue sinned in asking vs a King, beside all our other sinnes.
20 Samuele azongiselaki bango: — Bobanga te! Solo, bosalaki mabe nyonso wana; nzokande bokoba te kozala mosika na Yawe, kasi bosalela Yawe na mitema na bino mobimba.
And Samuel said vnto the people, Feare not. (ye haue indeede done all this wickednesse, yet depart not from following the Lord, but serue the Lord with all your heart,
21 Bopengwa te na kolanda banzambe na bino ya bikeko, oyo ezanga na yango tina, oyo ekoki kosalela bino ata bolamu moko te, oyo ekoki te kobikisa bino, pamba te ezali banzambe ezanga tina.
Neither turne yee backe: for that shoulde be after vaine things which cannot profite you, nor deliuer you, for they are but vanitie)
22 Mpo na lokumu ya Kombo monene na Ye, Yawe akobwaka bato na Ye te, pamba te asepelaki kokomisa bino bato na Ye moko.
For the Lord will not forsake his people for his great Names sake: because it hath pleased the Lord to make you his people.
23 Kasi mpo na ngai, ekozala penza likambo ya nkele soki nasali masumu liboso ya Yawe, soki natiki kobondela mpo na bino! Nakolakisa bino nzela oyo ezali malamu mpe alima.
Moreouer God forbid, that I should sinne against the Lord, and cease praying for you, but I will shewe you the good and right way.
24 Kasi, na ngambo na bino, botosa Yawe mpe bosalela Ye na bosembo mpe na mitema na bino mobimba; botala malamu makambo minene oyo asalelaki bino.
Therefore feare you the Lord, and serue him in the trueth with all your hearts, and consider howe great things he hath done for you.
25 Kasi soki bokobi kosala mabe, bino mpe mokonzi na bino bokobebisama.
But if ye doe wickedly, ye shall perish, both yee, and your King.
