1 Samuele 13
1 Saulo azalaki na mibu tuku misato ya mbotama tango akomaki mokonzi, mpe akonzaki Isalaele mibu tuku minei na mibale.
Saul [is] a son of [[thirty]] years in his reigning, and he has reigned over Israel [forty]-two years,
2 Saulo aponaki mibali nkoto misato kati na Isalaele: bato nkoto mibale bazalaki elongo na ye na Mikimasi mpe kati na etuka ya ngomba ya Beteli, mpe bato nkoto moko bazalaki elongo na Jonatan, na Gibea ya Benjame. Bato mosusu oyo batikali, azongisaki bango na bandako na bango.
then Saul chooses for himself three thousand [men] out of Israel; and two thousand are with Saul in Michmash, and in the hill-country of Beth-El; and one thousand have been with Jonathan in Gibeah of Benjamin; and he has sent each one of the remnant of the people to his tents.
3 Jonatan alongaki bakambi ya bato ya Filisitia, oyo bazalaki na Geba. Bongo bato ya Filisitia bayokaki sango na yango. Boye Saulo abetaki kelelo kati na mokili mobimba, mpe alobaki: « Tika ete Ba-Ebre bayoka! »
And Jonathan strikes the garrison of the Philistines which [is] in Geba, and the Philistines hear, and Saul has blown with a horn through all the land, saying, “Let the Hebrews hear.”
4 Bato nyonso ya Isalaele bayokaki sango oyo azalaki koloba ete Saulo abundisaki mpe alongaki bakambi ya bato ya Filisitia, mpe ete bato ya Filisitia bayinaki bato ya Isalaele. Bato nyonso basanganaki na Giligali mpo na kokende kobunda elongo na Saulo.
And all Israel have heard, saying, “Saul has struck the garrison of the Philistines,” and also, “Israel has been abhorred by the Philistines”; and the people are called after Saul to Gilgal.
5 Bato ya Filisitia basanganaki mpo na kobundisa bato ya Isalaele; bazalaki na bashar nkoto tuku misato; basoda oyo babundaka likolo ya bampunda, nkoto motoba; mpe basoda oyo motango na bango ezalaki ebele lokola zelo ya ebale monene. Bayaki mpe batongaki molako na bango, na Mikimasi, na ngambo ya este ya Beti-Aveni.
And the Philistines have been gathered to fight with Israel; thirty thousand chariots, and six thousand horsemen, and a people as the sand which [is] on the seashore for multitude; and they come up and encamp in Michmash, east of Beth-Aven.
6 Tango bato ya Isalaele bamonaki ete bakomi na pasi, mpe ete mampinga na bango ezingami na bangambo nyonso, babombamaki kati na madusu ya mabanga, kati na mabulu, kati na mabanga, mpe kati na bandako ya se ya mabele.
And the men of Israel have seen that they are distressed, that the people have been oppressed, and the people hide themselves in caves, and in thickets, and in rocks, and in high places, and in pits.
7 Ndambo ya Ba-Ebre mosusu bakatisaki mayi ya Yordani mpo na kokende na mokili ya Gadi mpe ya Galadi. Saulo azalaki nanu na Giligali, mampinga nyonso oyo ezalaki elongo na ye ezalaki kolenga na somo.
And Hebrews have passed over the Jordan to the land of Gad and Gilead; and Saul [is] yet in Gilgal, and all the people have trembled after him.
8 Azelaki mikolo sambo, tango oyo Samuele akataki. Kasi mpo ete Samuele ayaki te na Giligali, yango wana bato batikaki Saulo mpe bapalanganaki.
And he waits seven days, according to the appointment with Samuel, and Samuel has not come to Gilgal, and the people are scattered from off him.
9 Saulo alobaki: « Bomemela ngai banyama ya mbeka ya kotumba mpe bambeka ya boyokani. » Mpe Saulo abonzaki mbeka ya kotumba.
And Saul says, “Bring the burnt-offering and the peace-offerings near to me”; and he causes the burnt-offering to ascend.
10 Bongo tango kaka asilisaki kobonza mbeka yango ya kotumba, Samuele akomaki. Saulo abimaki mpo na kokende kopesa ye mbote.
And it comes to pass at his completing to cause the burnt-offering to ascend, that behold, Samuel has come, and Saul goes out to meet him, to bless him;
11 Samuele atunaki ye: — Osali penza nini? Saulo azongisaki: — Tango namonaki ete bato babandi kopalangana mosika na ngai, mpe ete yo oyei te na ngonga oyo ekatamaki, mpe ete bato ya Filisitia bazali kosangana na Mikimasi,
and Samuel says, “What have you done?” And Saul says, “Because I saw that the people were scattered from off me, and you had not come at the appointment of the days, and the Philistines are gathered to Michmash,
12 namilobelaki: « Sik’oyo, bato ya Filisitia bazali koya kobundisa ngai na Giligali, kasi ngai nabondeli Yawe te! » Yango wana, nazwaki mokano ya kobonza mbeka ya kotumba.
and I say, Now the Philistines come down to me to Gilgal, and I have not appeased the face of YHWH; and I force myself, and cause the burnt-offering to ascend.”
13 Samuele alobaki na Saulo: — Osali lokola moto ya liboma! Obateli te mitindo oyo Yawe, Nzambe na yo, apesaki yo. Soki obatelaki yango, alingaki kolendisa bokonzi na yo kati na Isalaele mpo na libela.
And Samuel says to Saul, “You have been foolish; you have not kept the command of your God YHWH, which He commanded you, for now YHWH had established your kingdom over Israel for all time;
14 Kasi sik’oyo, bokonzi na yo ekowumela lisusu te. Yawe aluki moto mosusu oyo asepelisaka motema na Ye mpe atie ye mokambi ya bato na Ye, pamba te yo, obateli mibeko ya Yawe te.
and now, your kingdom does not stand, YHWH has sought [for] a man for Himself according to His own heart, and YHWH charges him for leader over His people, for you have not kept that which YHWH commanded you.”
15 Bongo Samuele alongwaki na Giligali mpe akendeki na Gibea ya Benjame. Mpe Saulo atangaki bato oyo bazalaki elongo na ye: bazalaki bato pene nkama motoba.
And Samuel rises, and goes up from Gilgal to Gibeah of Benjamin; and Saul inspects the people who are found with him, about six hundred men,
16 Saulo mpe Jonatan, mwana na ye ya mobali, mpe mibali nyonso oyo bazalaki kovanda elongo na bango batandamaki mpo na bitumba, na Geba ya Benjame. Kasi bato ya Filisitia batongaki ya bango molako na Mikimasi.
and Saul, and his son Jonathan, and the people who are found with them, are abiding in Gibeah of Benjamin, and the Philistines have encamped in Michmash.
17 Longwa na molako ya bato ya Filisitia, mampinga ya basoda ya mpiko ebimaki mpe ekabwanaki na masanga misato: lisanga ya liboso ezwaki nzela oyo ekenda kino na Ofira, na mokili ya Shuwali;
And the destroyer goes out from the camp of the Philistines—three detachments: one detachment turns to the way of Ophrah, to the land of Shual,
18 lisanga ya mibale etalisaki na nzela ya Beti-Oroni; mpe lisanga ya misato ezwaki nzela oyo ekenda na mondelo ya Lubwaku ya Tseboyimi, na ngambo ya esobe.
and one detachment turns the way of Beth-Horon, and one detachment turns the way of the border which is looking on the Valley of the Zeboim, toward the wilderness.
19 Nzokande, na tango wana, batuli bibende bazalaki lisusu te kati na mokili mobimba ya Isalaele, pamba te bato ya Filisitia balobaki: « Ba-Ebre bakoki kosala te, ezala makonga to matolotolo. »
And a craftsman is not found in all the land of Israel, for the Philistines said, “Lest the Hebrews make sword or spear”;
20 Yango wana, bato nyonso ya Isalaele bazalaki kokende epai ya bato ya Filisitia mpo na kotia minu na basonge ya bibende oyo bangombe etimolaka na yango mabele, na bapiki, na bipasola mpe na bapawu.
and all Israel goes down to the Philistines, to each sharpen his plowshare, and his coulter, and his axe, and his mattock;
21 Bongo mpo na kotia minu yango na bapawu, na bapiki mpe na bipasola, bazalaki kofuta bagrame mwambe ya mbongo ya bibende.
and there has been the file for mattocks, and for coulters, and for three-pronged rakes, and for the axes, and to set up the goads.
22 Boye, na mokolo ya bitumba, soda ata moko te oyo azalaki elongo na Saulo mpe na Jonatan azalaki na mopanga to na likonga na loboko na ye; kaka Saulo mpe Jonatan, mwana na ye ya mobali, nde bazalaki na yango.
And it has been, in the day of battle, that there has not been found a sword and spear in the hand of any of the people who [are] with Saul and with Jonathan—but it is found with Saul and with his son Jonathan.
23 Limpinga moko ya basoda ya Filisitia eyaki kotelema na kati-kati ya lubwaku ya Mikimasi.
And the station of the Philistines goes out to the passage of Michmash.
