1 Samuele 14

1 Mokolo moko, Jonatan, mwana mobali ya Saulo, alobaki na elenge mobali oyo azalaki komema bibundeli na ye: « Yaka! Tokatisa na ngambo mosusu epai wapi bato ya Filisitia bazali. » Kasi alobaki ata likambo moko te epai ya tata na ye.

Then on a day Ionathan the sonne of Saul sayde vnto the yong man that bare his armour, Come and let vs goe ouer towarde the Philistims garison, that is yonder on the other side, but he tolde not his father.

2 Saulo avandaki na mondelo ya engumba Gibea, na se ya nzete ya grenade oyo ezali na Migironi, elongo na basoda pene nkama motoba.

And Saul taried in the border of Gibeah vnder a pomegranate tree, which was in Migron, and the people that were with him, were about sixe hundreth men.

3 Kati na bango, ezalaki na Nganga-Nzambe moko oyo azalaki kolata efode; kombo na ye ezalaki « Ayiya. » Ayiya azalaki mwana mobali ya Ayitubi, ndeko mobali ya I-Kabodi, mwana mobali ya Fineasi mpe koko ya Eli oyo azalaki Nganga-Nzambe ya Yawe, na Silo. Soda moko te ayebaki ete Jonatan akendeki.

And Ahiah the sonne of Ahitub, Ichabods brother, the sonne of Phinehas, the sonne of Eli, was the Lordes Priest in Shiloh, and ware an Ephod: and the people knewe not that Ionathan was gone.

4 Na bangambo ya se ya lubwaku oyo Jonatan asengelaki kokatisa mpo na kokende kobundisa bato ya Filisitia, ezalaki na libanga moko na ngambo moko na moko. Babengaki moko Botsetsi, mpe mosusu, Sene.

Nowe in the way whereby Ionathan sought to go ouer to the Philistims garison, there was a sharpe rocke on the one side, and a sharpe rocke on the other side: the name of the one was called Bozez, and the name of the other Seneh.

5 Libanga moko etelemaki na ngambo ya nor, na nzela oyo ekenda na Mikimasi, mpe mosusu etalanaki na Geba, na sude.

The one rocke stretched from the North towarde Michmash, and the other was from the South toward Gibeah.

6 Jonatan alobaki na elenge mobali oyo azalaki komema bibundeli na ye: — Yaka! Tokende na molako ya bato oyo bakatama ngenga te. Tango mosusu Yawe akosala mpo na biso, pamba te eloko moko te ekoki kopekisa Yawe kobikisa, ezala na nzela ya bato ebele to ya bato moke.

And Ionathan saide to the yong man that bare his armour, Come, and let vs goe ouer vnto the garison of these vncircumcised: it may be that the Lord will worke with vs: for it is not hard to the Lord to saue with many, or with fewe.

7 Elenge mobali oyo azalaki komema bibundeli na ye azongisaki: — Sala nyonso oyo ozali na yango na makanisi. Kende! Nazali elongo na yo na motema mpe na molimo.

And he that bare his armour, saide vnto him, Doe all that is in thine heart: goe where it pleaseth thee: beholde, I am with thee as thine heart desireth.

8 Jonatan alobaki na ye: — Tokende kino na molako ya basoda yango mpe tomimonisa epai na bango.

Then said Ionathan, Beholde, we goe ouer vnto those men, and will shewe our selues vnto them.

9 Soki balobi na biso: « Botelema wana, bozela kino biso moko tokoya epai na bino; » wana tokovanda na esika oyo tozali mpe tokokende epai na bango te.

If they say on this wise to vs, Tarie vntill we come to you, then we will stand still in our place, and not goe vp to them.

10 Kasi soki balobi na biso: « Boya epai na biso, » tokokende epai na bango, pamba te yango ekozala elembo mpo na biso ete Yawe akabi bango na maboko na biso.

But if they say, Come vp vnto vs, then we will goe vp: for the Lord hath deliuered them into our hande: and this shall be a signe vnto vs.

11 Boye, bango mibale bamimonisaki na molako ya bato ya Filisitia. Mpe tango bato ya Filisitia bamonaki bango, balobaki: « Botala! Ba-Ebre babimi wuta na mabulu epai wapi babombamaki. »

So they both shewed themselues vnto the garison of the Philistims: and the Philistims said, See, the Ebrewes come out of the holes wherein they had hid themselues.

12 Balobaki na Jonatan mpe na elenge mobali oyo azalaki komema bibundeli na ye: « Boya epai na biso, tokoteya bino likambo moko. » Jonatan alobaki na elenge mobali oyo azalaki komema bibundeli na ye: « Landa ngai na sima, pamba te Yawe asili kokaba bango na maboko ya Isalaele. »

And the men of the garison answered Ionathan, and his armour bearer, and said, Come vp to vs: for we will shewe you a thing. Then Ionathan said vnto his armour bearer, Come vp after me: for the Lord hath deliuered them into the hand of Israel.

13 Jonatan asalelaki makolo mpe maboko na ye mpo na komata, mpe elenge mobali oyo azalaki komema bibundeli na ye alandaki ye na sima. Wana Jonatan azalaki kokweyisa bato ya Filisitia na liboso; na sima na ye, elenge mobali oyo azalaki komema bibundeli na ye azalaki koboma bango.

So Ionathan went vp vpon his hands and vpon his feete, and his armour bearer after him: and some fell before Ionathan, and his armour bearer slewe others after him.

14 Na etumba oyo ya liboso, Jonatan elongo na elenge mobali oyo azalaki komema bibundeli na ye babomaki bato pene tuku mibale, na etando oyo bangombe mibale ekoki kobalola na mokolo moko.

So the first slaughter which Ionathan and his armour bearer made, was about twentie men, as it were within halfe an acre of land which two oxen plowe.

15 Mpe kobanga makasi ekotaki kati na molako, kati na etando mpe kati na bato nyonso: ezala basoda oyo bazalaki kokengela molako mpe basoda ya mpiko, bango nyonso bakomaki kobanga makasi mpe mabele eninganaki. Ezalaki somo oyo Ye moko Nzambe atindaki.

And there was a feare in the hoste, and in the field, and among all the people: the garison also, and they that went out to spoyle, were afraid themselues: and the earth trembled: for it was striken with feare by God.

16 Bakengeli ya Saulo, oyo bazalaki na Gibea ya Benjame bamonaki mampinga kopalangana na bangambo nyonso.

Then the watchmen of Saul in Gibeah of Beniamin sawe: and beholde, the multitude was discomfited, and smitten as they went.

17 Bongo Saulo alobaki na basoda oyo bazalaki elongo na ye: « Botanga basoda mpo na koyeba banani basili kokima. » Tango batangaki, bamonaki ete Jonatan mpe elenge mobali oyo azalaki komema bibundeli na ye bazali te.

Therefore saide Saul vnto the people that were with him, Search nowe and see, who is gone from vs. And when they had nombred, beholde, Ionathan and his armour bearer were not there.

18 Saulo alobaki na Ayiya: « Boya na Sanduku ya Nzambe. » Pamba te na tango wana, Sanduku ya Nzambe ezalaki elongo na bato ya Isalaele.

And Saul said vnto Ahiah, Bring hither the Arke of God (for the Arke of God was at that time with the children of Israel)

19 Wana Saulo azalaki nanu kosolola na Nganga-Nzambe, mobulu ezalaki kaka kokoma makasi kati na molako ya bato ya Filisitia. Boye Saulo alobaki na Nganga-Nzambe: « Tika! Kotuna Yawe ezali lisusu na tina te. »

And while Saul talked vnto the Priest, the noyse that was in the hoste of the Philistims, spred farther abroade, and encreased: therefore Saul said vnto the Priest, Withdraw thine hand.

20 Bongo Saulo elongo na bato na ye nyonso basanganaki mpe bakendeki na bitumba; bamonaki ete bato ya Filisitia bazali na mobulu makasi, bazali kobomana bango na bango na mipanga.

And Saul was assembled with all the people that were with him, and they came to the battell: and behold, euery mans sworde was against his fellow, and there was a very great discomfiture.

21 Ba-Ebre oyo basalelaki liboso bato ya Filisitia mpe bakendeki elongo na bango na bitumba mosusu, bango basanganaki na bato ya Isalaele, oyo bazalaki elongo na Saulo mpe Jonatan.

Moreouer, the Ebrewes that were with the Philistims beforetime, and were come with them into all partes of the hoste, euen they also turned to be with the Israelites that were with Saul and Ionathan.

22 Tango bato nyonso ya Isalaele oyo babombamaki kati na etuka ya bangomba ya Efrayimi bayokaki ete bato ya Filisitia bazali kokima, bango mpe balandaki mpe babundisaki bato ya Filisitia.

Also all the men of Israel which had hid themselues in mount Ephraim, when they heard, that the Philistims were fled, they followed after them in the battell.

23 Ezalaki ndenge wana nde Yawe abikisaki na mokolo wana bato ya Isalaele, mpe bitumba ekobaki kino ekatisaki Beti-Aveni.

And so the Lord saued Israel that day: and the battell continued vnto Beth-auen.

24 Bato ya Isalaele bazalaki na pasi makasi mokolo wana, pamba te Saulo atiaki bato na se ya mokumba ya ndayi esangana na bilakeli mabe. Alobaki: « Alakelama mabe, moto nyonso oyo akolia bilei liboso ete pokwa ekoma, liboso ete ngai nazongisa mabe na mabe na banguna na ngai. » Boye moto moko te amekaki kolia.

And at that time the men of Israel were pressed with hunger: for Saul charged the people with an othe, saying, Cursed be the man that eateth foode till night, that I may be auenged of mine enemies: so none of the people tasted any sustenance.

25 Bato nyonso bakotaki na zamba mpe bamonaki mafuta ya nzoyi, na mabele.

And all they of the land came to a wood, where hony lay vpon the ground.

26 Tango bakotaki na zamba, bamonaki mafuta ya nzoyi kotanga, mpe moko te asimbaki mpe aliaki yango mpo na kotosa ndayi.

And the people came into the wood, and beholde, the hony dropped, and no man mooued his hand to his mouth: for the people feared the othe.

27 Kasi Jonatan ayokaki te ete tata na ye atiaki bato na se ya mokumba ya ndayi; apusaki nzete oyo azalaki na yango na loboko, azindisaki yango na mafuta ya nzoyi mpe aliaki yango, elongi na ye engengaki.

But Ionathan heard not when his father charged the people with the othe: wherefore he put foorth the ende of the rod that was in his hand, and dipt it in an hony combe, and put his hand to his mouth, and his eyes receiued sight.

28 Bongo moko kati na basoda alobaki na ye: — Tata na yo atiaki mampinga nyonso na se ya mokumba ya ndayi na koloba: « Alakelama mabe, moto nyonso oyo akolia bilei na mokolo ya lelo. » Yango wana bato nyonso balembi.

Then answered one of the people, and said, Thy father made the people to sweare, saying, Cursed be the man that eateth sustenance this day: and the people were faint.

29 Jonatan alobaki: — Solo, tata na ngai akotisaki pasi kati na mokili. Botala ndenge nini elongi na ngai engengi! Ezali mpo ete nalie mwa ndambo ya mafuta ya nzoyi.

Then said Ionathan, My father hath troubled the land: see nowe howe mine eyes are made cleare, because I haue tasted a litle of this honie:

30 Bongo soki bato na biso baliaki na mokolo ya lelo mafuta ya nzoyi oyo bamonaki epai ya banguna na biso, kokweyisama ya bato ya Filisitia elingaki kozala monene!

Howe much more, if the people had eaten to day of the spoyle of their enemies which they found? for had there not bene nowe a greater slaughter among the Philistims?

31 Na mokolo wana, sima na bato ya Isalaele kosilisa koboma bato ya Filisitia wuta na Mikimasi kino na Ayaloni, balembaki makasi.

And they smote the Philistims that day, from Michmash to Aiialon: and the people were exceeding faint.

32 Bamibwakaki na bomengo ya bitumba mpe bakamataki biloko oyo: bameme, bangombe mpe bana ngombe. Bakataki yango kingo na mabele mpe baliaki yango na likolo ya makila na yango.

So the people turned to the spoile, and tooke sheepe, and oxen, and calues, and slewe them on the ground, and the people did eate them with the blood.

33 Moto moko alobaki na Saulo: — Tala! Bato bazali kosala masumu liboso ya Yawe na ndenge bazali kolia nyama na likolo ya makila. Saulo alobaki: — Bokweyisi kondima! Botindika sik’oyo libanga moko ya monene kino awa.

Then men tolde Saul, saying, Beholde, the people sinne against the Lord, in that they eate with the blood. And he saide, Ye haue trespassed: roule a great stone vnto me this day.

34 Saulo abakisaki: Bokende kati na bato mpe boloba na bango ete moko na moko amemela ngai ngombe na ye mpe meme na ye, mpe akata yango kingo na esika oyo. Bongo bokolia yango mpe bokosala masumu te liboso ya Yawe na kolia nyama na likolo ya makila kati na yango. Boye moko na moko amemaki ngombe na ye na butu mpe akataki yango kingo na esika yango.

Againe Saul said, Goe abroade among the people, and bid them bring me euery man his oxe, and euery man his sheepe, and slay them here, and eate and sinne not against the Lord in eating with the blood. And ye people brought euery man his oxe in his hand that night, and slew them there.

35 Bongo Saulo atongaki etumbelo mpo na Yawe; ezalaki mbala na ye ya liboso ya kosala likambo ya boye.

Then Saul made an altar vnto the Lord, and that was the first altar that he made vnto the Lord.

36 Saulo alobaki: — Tokita mpe tolanda bato ya Filisitia na butu ya lelo, tobebisa bango kino na tongo mpe totika ata moto moko te ya bomoi kati na bango. Bato bazongisaki: — Sala nyonso oyo omoni ete ezali malamu. Kasi Nganga-Nzambe alobaki: — Totuna Nzambe na esika oyo.

And Saul saide, Let vs goe downe after the Philistims by night, and spoyle them vntill the morning shine, and let vs not leaue a man of them. And they saide, Doe whatsoeuer thou thinkest best. Then saide the Priest, Let vs drawe neere hither vnto God.

37 Boye Saulo atunaki Nzambe: « Nakoki na ngai kokita mpo na kolanda bato ya Filisitia? Okokaba bango solo na maboko ya bato ya Isalaele? » Kasi Nzambe apesaki ye eyano te na mokolo wana.

So Saul asked of God, saying, Shall I goe downe after ye Philistims? wilt thou deliuer them into the hands of Israel? But he answered him not at that time.

38 Saulo alobaki: — Bino nyonso oyo bozali bakambi ya bato, boya awa! Toluka koyeba lisumu nini oyo esalemi na mokolo ya lelo.

And Saul said, All ye chiefe of the people, come ye hither, and knowe, and see by whom this sinne is done this day.

39 Na Kombo na Yawe, Mobikisi ya Isalaele, ata ezali Jonatan, mwana na ngai ya mobali, nde asali lisumu yango, asengeli kokufa. Kasi kati na bato, moko te alobaki ata liloba moko.

For as the Lord liueth, which saueth Israel, though it be done by Ionathan my sonne, he shall dye the death. But none of all the people answered him.

40 Bongo Saulo alobaki na bato nyonso ya Isalaele: — Bozala ngambo moko. Ngai mpe Jonatan, mwana na ngai ya mobali, tokozala ngambo mosusu. Bato bazongisaki: — Sala nyonso oyo omoni ete ezali malamu.

Then he saide vnto all Israel, Be ye on one side, and I and Ionathan my sonne will be on the other side. And the people saide vnto Saul, Doe what thou thinkest best.

41 Bongo Saulo asambelaki Yawe, Nzambe ya Isalaele: « Oh Nzambe, talisa ngai eyano ya malamu. » Boye zeke ekweyaki epai ya Jonatan mpe Saulo, mpe bato bazalaki na mbeba te.

Then Saul said vnto the Lord God of Israel, Giue a perfite lot. And Ionathan and Saul were taken, but the people escaped.

42 Saulo alobaki: « Bobeta zeke kati na ngai mpe Jonatan, mwana na ngai ya mobali. » Mpe zeke ekweyaki epai ya Jonatan.

And Saul saide, Cast lot betweene me and Ionathan my sonne. And Ionathan was taken.

43 Bongo Saulo alobaki na Jonatan: — Yebisa ngai likambo oyo osalaki. Jonatan alobaki: — Namekaki ndambo ya mafuta ya nzoyi na songe ya nzete oyo nazalaki na yango na maboko. Mpe sik’oyo nasengeli kokufa!

Then Saul said to Ionathan, Tell me what thou hast done. And Ionathan tolde him, and said, I tasted a litle hony with the ende of the rod, that was in mine hand, and loe, I must die.

44 Saulo alobaki: — Jonatan, tika ete Nzambe apesa ngai etumbu ya makasi koleka soki okufi te.

Againe Saul answered, God doe so and more also, vnlesse thou die the death, Ionathan.

45 Kasi bato balobaki na Saulo: — Boni, Jonatan akokufa! Ye oyo asali ete Isalaele azwa kokangolama monene boye! Te! Na Kombo na Yawe, akokufa te! Suki ya moto na ye ata moko te ekokweya na se, pamba te ezali na lisungi ya Nzambe nde asali makambo oyo na mokolo ya lelo. Boye bato babikisaki Jonatan, mpe akufaki te.

And the people said vnto Saul, Shall Ionathan die, who hath so mightily deliuered Israel? God forbid. As the Lord liueth, there shall not one heare of his head fall to the ground: for he hath wrought with God this day. So the people deliuered Ionathan that he dyed not.

46 Saulo atikaki kolanda bato ya Filisitia, mpe bato ya Filisitia bazongaki na mboka na bango.

Then Saul came vp from the Philistims: and the Philistims went to their owne place.

47 Tango Saulo azwaki bokonzi mpo na koyangela Isalaele, abundisaki banguna na bango na bangambo nyonso: Moabi, bato ya Amoni, Edomi, bakonzi ya Tsoba, mpe bato ya Filisitia. Bisika nyonso oyo azalaki kobaluka, azalaki kolonga bato wana.

So Saul helde the kingdome ouer Israel, and fought against all his enemies on euery side, against Moab, and against the children of Ammon, and against Edom, and against the Kings of Zobah, and against the Philistims: and whithersoeuer he went, he handled them as wicked men.

48 Abundisaki na makasi nyonso bato ya Amaleki mpe alongaki bango, akangolaki Isalaele na maboko ya bato oyo bazalaki kobotola bango biloko.

He gathered also an hoste and smote Amalek, and deliuered Israel out of the handes of them that spoyled them.

49 Bana mibali ya Saulo bazalaki: Jonatan, Yishivi mpe Maliki-Shuwa. Azalaki na bana mibale ya basi: ya mokolo, kombo na ye ezalaki « Merabi; » mpe ya leki, « Mikali. »

Nowe the sonnes of Saul were Ionathan, and Ishui, and Malchishua: and the names of his two daughters, the elder was called Merab, and the yonger was named Michal.

50 Kombo ya mwasi na ye ezalaki « Ayinoami, » mwana mwasi ya Ayimaatsi. Abineri, mwana mobali ya Neri, Noko ya Saulo, azalaki mokonzi ya mampinga ya Saulo.

And the name of Sauls wife was Ahinoam the daughter of Ahimaaz: and the name of his chiefe captaine was Abner the sonne of Ner, Sauls vncle.

51 Kishi, tata ya Saulo, mpe Neri, tata ya Abineri, bazalaki bana mibali ya Abieli.

And Kish was Sauls father: and Ner the father of Abner was the sonne of Abiel.

52 Na mikolo nyonso ya bomoi ya Saulo, bitumba ezalaki makasi na bato ya Filisitia; mpe bisika nyonso oyo Saulo azalaki komona bato ya makasi to ya mpiko, azalaki kozwa mpe kokotisa bango kati na mampinga na ye.

And there was sore warre against the Philistims all the dayes of Saul: and whomsoeuer Saul sawe to be a strong man, and meete for the warre, he tooke him vnto him.
