< 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.
Now it happened one day that Jonathan, the son of Saul, said to the young man who carried his armor, "Come, let's go over to the Philistine garrison on the other side." But he did not tell 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.
Now Saul stayed in the outskirts of Gibeah under the pomegranate tree by the threshing floor, and the people who were with him were about six hundred 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.
Now Ahijah was wearing an ephod. He was the son of Ahitub, the brother of Ichabod, the son of Phinehas, the son of Eli, the priest of the LORD in Shiloh. And the people did not know that Jonathan 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.
Now on each side of the pass through which Jonathan intended to cross to the Philistine garrison there was a steep cliff on one side and a steep cliff on the other side. And the name of the one was 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 cliff was to north in front of Michmash, and the other on the south in front of Geba.
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.
Then Jonathan said to the young man who carried his armor, "Come, let's go over to the garrison of these uncircumcised. It may be that the LORD will work for us, for nothing can prevent the LORD from saving by many or by a few."
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.
His armor bearer said to him, "Do all that your heart inclines toward. Look, I am with you, my heart is as your heart."
8 Jonatan alobaki na ye: — Tokende kino na molako ya basoda yango mpe tomimonisa epai na bango.
Then Jonathan said, "Look, we will pass over to the men, and we will reveal ourselves to 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 thus to us, 'Wait until we come to you,' then we will stop where we are, and will not go up 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 this, 'Come up to us,' then we will go up; for the LORD has delivered them into our hand. This shall be the sign to us."
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. »
Both of them revealed themselves to the garrison of the Philistines: and the Philistines said, "Look, the Hebrews are coming out of the holes where they had hidden themselves."
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. »
The men of the garrison answered Jonathan and his armor bearer, and said, "Come up to us, and we will show you something." Jonathan said to his armor bearer, "Come up after me; for the LORD has delivered 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.
Jonathan climbed up on his hands and on his feet, and his armor bearer after him. And they fell before Jonathan; and his armor bearer killed them 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.
That first slaughter which Jonathan and his armor bearer made was about twenty men, with arrows and with weapons from flints of the field.
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 terror in the camp, and in the field, and among all the people. The garrison and even the raiders were terrified. And the earth quaked, and it became a terror of God.
16 Bakengeli ya Saulo, oyo bazalaki na Gibea ya Benjame bamonaki mampinga kopalangana na bangambo nyonso.
And the watchmen of Saul in Gibeah of Benjamin saw, and look, the multitude was scattering here and there.
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.
Then Saul said to the people who were with him, "Count now, and see who is missing from us." When they had counted, look, Jonathan and his armor 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 to Ahijah, "Bring near the ephod," for he wore the ephod at that time before 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 it happened, while Saul was speaking to the priest, that the tumult that was in the camp of the Philistines went on and increased: and Saul said to the priest, "Withdraw your 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.
Saul and all the people who were with him were gathered together, and came to the battle: and look, every man's sword was against his fellow: a very great confusion.
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.
Now the Hebrews who were with the Philistines previously when they went up with them to the camp, they too turned to be with the Israelites who were with Saul and Jonathan.
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.
Likewise all the men of Israel who had hidden themselves in the hill country of Ephraim, when they heard that the Philistines fled, even they also followed closely after them in the battle.
23 Ezalaki ndenge wana nde Yawe abikisaki na mokolo wana bato ya Isalaele, mpe bitumba ekobaki kino ekatisaki Beti-Aveni.
So the LORD saved Israel that day, and the battle passed over by Beth Aven. And all the people with Saul were about ten thousand men. And the battle extended itself into every city in the hill country of Ephraim.
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 Saul committed a great blunder that day, for he had placed the people under an oath, saying, "Cursed is the man who eats any food until it is evening, and I am avenged of my enemies." So none of the people tasted food.
25 Bato nyonso bakotaki na zamba mpe bamonaki mafuta ya nzoyi, na mabele.
Now all the people came upon a honeycomb, and there was honey on the ground.
26 Tango bakotaki na zamba, bamonaki mafuta ya nzoyi kotanga, mpe moko te asimbaki mpe aliaki yango mpo na kotosa ndayi.
And when the people came upon the honeycomb, look, its bees had left, but no man would raise his hand to his mouth, for the people feared the oath.
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 Jonathan did not hear when his father commanded the people with the oath, so he put forth the end of the staff that was in his hand, and dipped it in the honeycomb, and raised his hand to his mouth, and his eyes brightened.
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 one of the people answered, and said, "Your father directly commanded the people with an oath, saying, 'Cursed is the man who eats food this day.'" 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 Jonathan said, "My father has troubled the land. Please look how my eyes have been enlightened, because I tasted a little of this honey.
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!
How much better if the people had eaten freely today of the spoil of their enemies when they found it, for the slaughter among the Philistines would have been greater."
31 Na mokolo wana, sima na bato ya Isalaele kosilisa koboma bato ya Filisitia wuta na Mikimasi kino na Ayaloni, balembaki makasi.
They struck of the Philistines that day from Michmash to Aijalon. The people were very 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.
and the people pounced upon the spoil, and took sheep, and cattle, and calves, and killed them on the ground; and the people ate 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 they told Saul, saying, "Look, the people are sinning against the LORD, in that they eat meat with the blood." He said, "You have dealt treacherously. Roll a large stone to 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.
And Saul said, "Disperse yourselves among the people, and say to them, 'Each one of you bring to me his ox or his sheep, and slaughter them here and eat, and do not sin against the LORD by eating with the blood.'" So everyone of the people brought whatever he had at hand with him, and slaughtered it there.
35 Bongo Saulo atongaki etumbelo mpo na Yawe; ezalaki mbala na ye ya liboso ya kosala likambo ya boye.
Saul built an altar to the LORD. This was the first altar that he built to 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.
Saul said, "Let us go down after the Philistines by night, and take spoil among them until the morning light, and let us not leave a man of them." They said, "Do whatever seems good to you." Then the priest said, "Let us draw near here to 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.
Saul asked counsel of God, "Shall I go down after the Philistines? Will you deliver them into the hand of Israel?" But he did not answer him that day.
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, "Come here, all you leaders of the people; and investigate and see how this sin has arisen today.
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 lives, who saves Israel, though it is in Jonathan my son, he shall surely die." But there was not a man among all the people who 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 said to all Israel, "You be on one side, and I and Jonathan my son will be on the other side." The people said to Saul, "Do what seems good to you."
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.
Therefore Saul said, "LORD, God of Israel, why have you not answered your servant this day? If this sin is mine or in Jonathan my son, LORD, God of Israel, give Urim. But if this sin is in your people Israel, give Thummim." And Jonathan and Saul were chosen, but the people were cleared.
42 Saulo alobaki: « Bobeta zeke kati na ngai mpe Jonatan, mwana na ngai ya mobali. » Mpe zeke ekweyaki epai ya Jonatan.
And Saul said, "Cast lots between me and Jonathan my son. Whomever the LORD shall indicate to be taken by lot, let him die." And the people said to Saul, "This thing is not to be." And Saul prevailed over the people, and they cast lots between him and Jonathan his son. And Jonathan was selected.
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 Jonathan, "Tell me what you have done." And Jonathan told him, and said, "I certainly did taste a little honey with the end of the staff that was in my hand; and look, I must die."
44 Saulo alobaki: — Jonatan, tika ete Nzambe apesa ngai etumbu ya makasi koleka soki okufi te.
And Saul said, "God do the same to me and more also if you are not put to death this day."
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.
The people said to Saul, "Shall he who has worked this great salvation in Israel die today? As the LORD lives, there shall not one hair of his head fall to the ground; for he has worked with God this day." So the people rescued Jonathan, and he did not die.
46 Saulo atikaki kolanda bato ya Filisitia, mpe bato ya Filisitia bazongaki na mboka na bango.
Then Saul went up from following the Philistines; and the Philistines went to their own 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.
Now when Saul had taken the kingdom over Israel, he fought against all his enemies on every side, against Moab, and against the people of Ammon, and against Edom, and against Beth Rehob, and against the king of Zobah, and against the Philistines; and wherever he turned, he was victorious.
48 Abundisaki na makasi nyonso bato ya Amaleki mpe alongaki bango, akangolaki Isalaele na maboko ya bato oyo bazalaki kobotola bango biloko.
And he did valiantly, and struck Amalek, and delivered Israel out of the hand of its plunderers.
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. »
Now the sons of Saul were Jonathan, and Jishvi, and Malkishua; and the names of his two daughters were these: the name of the firstborn Merob, and the name of the younger Mikal:
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 Saul's wife was Ahinoam the daughter of Ahimaaz. The name of the commander of his army was Abiner the son of Ner, Saul's uncle.
51 Kishi, tata ya Saulo, mpe Neri, tata ya Abineri, bazalaki bana mibali ya Abieli.
Kish was the father of Saul; and Ner the father of Abner was the son 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.
There was severe war against the Philistines all the days of Saul: and when Saul saw any mighty man, or any valiant man, he took him to him.
