1 Samuele 17
1 Bato ya Filisitia basangisaki mampinga na bango mpo na bitumba, basanganaki na Soko ya Yuda mpe batongaki molako na bango na Efeze-Damimi, kati na Soko mpe Azeka.
Nowe the Philistims gathered their armies to battell, and came together to Shochoh, which is in Iudah, and pitched betweene Shochoh and Azekah, in the coast of Dammim.
2 Na ngambo mosusu, Saulo mpe bato ya Isalaele basanganaki mpe batongaki molako na bango kati na lubwaku ya Terebente; batandamaki na milongo mpe babongamaki mpo na kobundisa bato ya Filisitia.
And Saul, and the men of Israel assembled, and pitched in the valley of Elah, and put themselues in battell araie to meete the Philistims.
3 Bato ya Filisitia bazalaki na likolo ya ngomba na ngambo moko, mpe bato ya Isalaele, na likolo ya ngomba na ngambo mosusu; kaka lubwaku nde ekabolaki bango.
And the Philistims stoode on a mountaine on the one side, and Israel stoode on a mountaine on the other side: so a valley was betweene them.
4 Elombe mobali moko oyo kombo na ye ezalaki « Goliati, » moto ya mboka Gati, abimaki wuta na molako ya bato ya Filisitia. Azalaki na bametele pene misato na molayi.
Then came a man betweene them both out of the tents of the Philistims, named Goliath of Gath: his height was sixe cubites and an hande breadth,
5 Alataki ekoti ya bronze na moto na ye mpe ebombelo ya tolo, oyo basala na bakilo pene tuku motoba ya bronze.
Aud had an helmet of brasse vpon his head, and a brigandine vpon him: and the weight of his brigandine was fiue thousand shekels of brasse.
6 Na makolo na ye, alataki bitando ya bronze, mpe akangisaki likonga ya bronze na sima ya mokongo na ye.
And he had bootes of brasse vpon his legs, and a shield of brasse vpon his shoulders.
7 Monene ya nzete ya likonga na ye ezalaki lokola libaya oyo basali bilamba basalelaka; songe ya likonga yango ezalaki ya bakilo pene sambo. Moto oyo azalaki komema bibundeli na ye azalaki kotambola liboso na ye.
And the shaft of his speare was like a weauers beame: and his speare head weyed sixe hundreth shekels of yron: and one bearing a shielde went before him.
8 Goliati atelemaki mpe agangelaki mampinga ya Isalaele, alobaki: « Mpo na nini bobimi mpe bosali milongo mpo na bitumba? Ngai nazali moto ya Filisitia te? Mpe bino bozali basali ya Saulo te? Bopona moto moko mpe botika ye koya kobundisa ngai.
And he stoode, and cried against the hoste of Israel, and saide vnto them, Why are yee come to set your battell in aray? am not I a Philistim, and you seruaunts to Saul? chuse you a man for you, and let him come downe to me.
9 Soki akokoka kolonga mpe koboma ngai, wana biso tokokoma bawumbu na bino. Nzokande soki ngai nalongi mpe nabomi ye, wana bino nde bokokoma bawumbu na biso mpe bokosalela biso. »
If he be able to fight with me, and kill me, then wil we be your seruants: but if I ouercome him, and kill him, then shall yee be our seruants, and serue vs.
10 Moto ya Filisitia alobaki lisusu: « Na mokolo ya lelo, nazali kotiola mampinga ya Isalaele. Bopesa ngai moto moko mpo ete nabunda na ye. »
Also the Philistim saide, I defie the hoste of Israel this day: giue mee a man, that we may fight together.
11 Tango bayokaki maloba ya moto ya Filisitia, Saulo mpe bato nyonso ya Isalaele bakomaki na mawa mpe babangaki.
When Saul and all Israel heard those wordes of the Philistim, they were discouraged, and greatly afraide.
12 Davidi azalaki mwana mobali ya moto moko ya Efrate, oyo kombo na ye ezalaki « Izayi. » Izayi awutaki na Beteleemi ya Yuda mpe azalaki na bana mibali mwambe. Na tango Saulo azalaki mokonzi, Izayi akomaki mobange mpo ete mibu na ye ya mbotama epusanaki makasi.
Nowe this Dauid was the sonne of an Ephrathite of Beth-lehem Iudah, named Ishai, which had eight sonnes: and this man was taken for an olde man in the daies of Saul.
13 Bana mibali misato ya liboso ya Izayi balandaki Saulo na bitumba. Tala bakombo ya bana mibali yango misato oyo balandaki Saulo na bitumba: Eliabi, mwana mobali ya liboso; Abinadabi, mwana mobali ya mibale; mpe Shama, mwana mobali ya misato.
And the three eldest sonnes of Ishai went and followed Saul to the battel: and the names of his three sonnes that went to battell, were Eliab the Eldest, and the next Abinadab, and the thirde Shammah.
14 Lokola Davidi azalaki leki, mpe wana bana mibali misato ya liboso balandaki Saulo,
So Dauid was the least: and the three eldest went after Saul.
15 Davidi azalaki kokende mpe kozonga wuta na ndako ya Saulo mpo na koleisa bameme ya tata na ye na Beteleemi.
Dauid also went, but hee returned from Saul to feede his fathers sheepe in Beth-lehem.
16 Mikolo tuku minei, moto ya Filisitia azalaki komilakisa, tongo mpe pokwa, liboso ya mampinga ya Isalaele.
And the Philistim drew neere in the morning, and euening, and continued fourtie daies.
17 Izayi alobaki na Davidi, mwana na ye ya mobali: « Zwela bandeko na yo ya mibali bambuma oyo ya ble bakalinga mpe mapa oyo zomi, mpe kende kotikela bango yango na lombangu na molako na bango.
And Ishai said vnto Dauid his sone, Take nowe for thy brethren an Ephah of this parched corne, and these ten cakes, and runne to the hoste to thy brethren.
18 Mema lisusu ba-fromaje zomi oyo epai ya mokonzi ya limpinga ya basoda nkoto moko, limpinga oyo bango bazali. Tala soki bandeko na yo ya mibali bazali ndenge nini mpe zwa na maboko na bango elembo oyo ekolakisa ngai ete bazali malamu.
Also carie these ten fresh cheeses vnto the captaine, and looke howe thy brethren fare, and receiue their pledge.
19 Bazali na lubwaku ya Terebente elongo na Saulo mpe mibali nyonso ya Isalaele mpo na kobundisa bato ya Filisitia. »
(Then Saul and they, and all the men of Israel were in the valley of Elah, fighting with the Philistims)
20 Na tongo-tongo ya mokolo oyo elandaki, Davidi atikaki bameme na maboko ya mokengeli moko; akamataki mikumba na ye mpe akendeki, ndenge kaka Izayi ayebisaki ye; akomaki na molako tango mampinga ya Isalaele ezalaki komibongisa na milongo mpo na kobunda bitumba, mpe ezalaki kobeta milolo ya bitumba.
So Dauid rose vp earely in the morning, and left the sheepe with a keeper, and tooke and went as Ishai had commanded him, and came within the compasse of the hoste: and the hoste went out in araie, and shouted in the battell.
21 Bato ya Isalaele mpe bato ya Filisitia batandamaki mpe batalanaki ngambo na ngambo mpo na kobunda.
For Israel and the Philistims had put themselues in araie, armie against armie.
22 Davidi akitisaki mikumba na ye, apesaki yango na maboko ya mobateli mikumba, akimaki mbangu na esika ya bitumba mpe apesaki bandeko na ye ya mibali mbote.
And Dauid left the things, which hee bare, vnder the handes of the keeper of the cariage, and ranne into the hoste, and came, and asked his brethren howe they did.
23 Wana Davidi azali kosolola na bango, elombe mobali Goliati, moto ya Filisitia ya Gati, alongwaki na molongo ya mampinga na ye mpe azongelaki koloba ndenge azalaki kosala mikolo nyonso. Davidi azalaki koyoka ye.
And as hee talked with them, beholde, the man that was betweene the two armies, came vp, (whose name was Goliath ye Philistim of Gath) out of the armie of the Philistims, and spake such woordes, and Dauid heard them.
24 Kasi tango bato nyonso ya Isalaele bamonaki mobali yango, bakimaki liboso na ye na kobanga makasi.
And all the men of Israel, when they sawe the man, ranne away from him, and were sore afraied.
25 Moko na moko kati na bato ya Isalaele akomaki koloba: « Bozali na bino komona mobali oyo ndenge azali kobima mpo na koya epai na biso? Azali nde koya kotiola Isalaele! Mokonzi akopesa bomengo ebele epai ya moto oyo akoboma ye, akopesa ye mwana na ye ya mwasi na libala mpe akosalela libota ya tata na ye bolamu kati na Isalaele. »
For euery man of Israel saide, Sawe yee not this man that commeth vp? euen to reuile Israel is he come vp: and to him that killeth him, wil the king giue great riches, and will giue him his daughter, yea, and make his fathers house free in Israel.
26 Davidi atunaki mibali oyo bazalaki pembeni na ye: — Eloko nini bakosala na moto oyo akoboma moto ya Filisitia oyo mpe akolongola soni kati na Isalaele? Moto ya Filisitia oyo akatama ngenga te azali nani mpo ete atiola mampinga ya Nzambe na bomoi?
Then Dauid spake to the men that stoode with him, and sayde, What shall be done to the man that killeth this Philistim, and taketh away the shame from Israel? for who is this vncircumcised Philistim, that he shoulde reuile the hoste of the liuing God?
27 Lokola bato bazalaki kozongela kaka maloba moko, balobaki na ye: — Tala makambo oyo ekosalemela moto oyo akoboma ye.
And the people answered him after this maner, saying, Thus shall it be done to the man that killeth him.
28 Tango Eliabi, kulutu ya Davidi, ayokaki ye koloba na bato yango, asilikelaki ye makasi mpe atunaki: — Oyaki awa mpo na nini? Mpe na maboko ya nani otikaki mwa bameme na biso kati na esobe? Nayebi ndenge lolendo na yo ezalaka mpe ndenge nini ozalaka mayele mabe. Oyei na yo kaka mpo na kotala bitumba.
And Eliab his eldest brother heard when he spake vnto the men, and Eliab was verie angrie with Dauid, and sayde, Why camest thou downe hither? and with whome hast thou left those fewe sheepe in the wildernesse? I knowe thy pride and the malice of thine heart, that thou art come downe to see the battell.
29 Davidi azongiselaki ye: — Nasali nini? Nakoki kosolola lisusu te?
Then Dauid sayde, What haue I nowe done? Is there not a cause?
30 Bongo Davidi abalukaki mpo na kosolola na moto mosusu mpe atunaki kaka likambo moko wana. Mpe bazongiselaki ye ndenge kaka moto ya liboso alobaki na ye.
And hee departed from him into the presence of another, and spake of the same maner, and the people answered him according to the former woordes.
31 Maloba ya Davidi epanzanaki na lombangu, mpe bayebisaki yango Saulo. Mpe sima na Saulo koyoka yango, abengisaki ye.
And they that heard the wordes which Dauid spake, rehearsed them before Saul, which caused him to be brought.
32 Davidi alobaki na Saulo: — Tika ete moto moko te amilembisa nzoto likolo na moto oyo ya Filisitia. Mosali na yo akokende kobundisa ye.
So Dauid saide to Saul, Let no mans heart faile him, because of him: thy seruant wil goe, and fight with this Philistim.
33 Kasi Saulo alobaki na Davidi: — Okoki te kokende kobundisa moto wana ya Filisitia! Ozali mwana moke, nzokande ye azali mobundi ya bitumba wuta bolenge na ye.
And Saul sayde to Dauid, Thou art not able to goe against this Philistim to fight with him: for thou art a boye, and he is a man of warre from his youth.
34 Davidi azongiselaki Saulo: — Mosali na yo azalaki kobatela bameme ya tata na ye. Tango ngombolo to nkosi ezalaki koya kokamata meme moko kati na etonga,
And Dauid answered vnto Saul, Thy seruant kept his fathers sheepe, and there came a lyon, and likewise a beare, and tooke a sheepe out of the flocke,
35 nazalaki kolanda mpe kobeta yango, nazalaki kokangola mpe kobotola meme na monoko ya tambwe to ya nkosi yango. Tango ezalaki kobalukela ngai, nazalaki kokanga yango, kobeta mpe koboma yango.
And I went out after him and smote him, and tooke it out of his mouth: and when he arose against me, I caught him by the beard, and smote him, and slue him.
36 Lokola mosali na yo abomaki ezala ngombolo to nkosi, akoboma mpe moto ya Filisitia oyo akatama ngenga te lokola moko kati na banyama wana, pamba te atioli mampinga ya Nzambe na bomoi.
So thy seruaunt slue both the lyon, and the beare: therefore this vncircumcised Philistim shall be as one of them, seeing hee hath railed on the hoste of the liuing God.
37 Yawe oyo akangolaki ngai na manzaka ya ngombolo mpe ya nkosi akokangola ngai na maboko ya moto ya Filisitia oyo. Saulo alobaki na Davidi: — Kende, mpe tika ete Yawe azala elongo na yo.
Moreouer Dauid sayd, The Lord that deliuered me out of the pawe of the lyon, and out of the paw of the beare, he wil deliuer me out of the hand of this Philistim. Then Saul sayd vnto Dauid, Go, and the Lord be with thee.
38 Bongo Saulo alatisaki Davidi bibundeli na ye moko: atiaki ye ekoti ya bronze na moto mpe alatisaki ye ebombelo ya tolo.
And Saul put his rayment vpon Dauid, and put an helmet of brasse vpon his head, and put a brigandine vpon him.
39 Na likolo ya elamba ya ebende, Davidi atiaki lisusu, na mokaba na ye, mopanga ya Saulo; mpe amekaki kotambola na yango, pamba te atikalaki nanu komesana na yango te. Davidi alobaki na Saulo: — Nakokoka te kotambola na biloko oyo nyonso, pamba te namesana na yango te! Bongo Davidi alongolaki yango na nzoto na ye.
Then girded Dauid his sword vpon his rayment, and began to go: for he neuer proued it: and Dauid sayde vnto Saul, I can not goe with these: for I am not accustomed. wherefore Dauid put them off him.
40 Asimbaki kaka lingenda na ye na loboko, aponaki mabanga mitano ya moselu kati na moluka ya lubwaku mpe atiaki yango na libenga na ye ya mobateli bibwele; asimbaki ebambelo mabanga na loboko mpe apusanaki epai ya moto ya Filisitia.
Then tooke he his staffe in his hand, and chose him fiue smoothe stones out of a brooke, and put them in his shepheards bagge or skrippe, and his sling was in his hand, and he drewe neere to the Philistim.
41 Kaka na tango yango, moto ya Filisitia elongo na moto oyo amemelaki ye nguba bapusanaki pene ya Davidi; moto oyo amemaki nguba nde azalaki liboso.
And the Philistim came and drew neere vnto Dauid, and the man that bare the shielde went before him.
42 Tango moto ya Filisitia atalaki mpe amonaki Davidi, atiolaki ye; pamba te azalaki na ye kaka mwa elenge mobali oyo azalaki na poso kitoko ya nzoto mpe na elongi kitoko.
Now when the Philistim looked about and saw Dauid, he disdeined him: for he was but yong, ruddie, and of a comely face.
43 Moto ya Filisitia alobaki na Davidi: — Boni, ngai nazali mbwa mpo ete oya kobundisa ngai na lingenda? Bongo alakelaki Davidi mabe na nzela ya banzambe na ye.
And the Philistim sayde vnto Dauid, Am I a dog, that thou commest to me with staues? And the Philistim cursed Dauid by his gods.
44 Moto ya Filisitia alobaki lisusu na Davidi: — Pusana awa, nakopesa mosuni na yo epai ya bandeke ya likolo mpe epai ya banyama ya zamba.
And the Philistim sayd to Dauid, Come to me, and I will giue thy flesh vnto the foules of the heauen, and to the beastes of the field.
45 Davidi alobaki na moto ya Filisitia: — Ozali koya kobundisa ngai na mopanga, na likonga ya monene mpe na likonga ya moke. Kasi ngai nayei kobundisa yo na Kombo na Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, Nzambe ya mampinga ya Isalaele, oyo yo ozali kotiola.
Then sayd Dauid to the Philistim, Thou commest to me with a sword, and with a speare, and with a shield, but I come to thee in the Name of the Lord of hostes, the God of the hoste of Israel, whom thou hast rayled vpon.
46 Na mokolo ya lelo, Yawe akokaba yo na maboko na ngai; nakoboma yo mpe nakokata moto na yo. Na mokolo ya lelo kaka, nakopesa bibembe ya mampinga ya Filisitia epai ya bandeke ya likolo mpe epai ya banyama ya mokili; mpe mokili mobimba ekoyeba ete ezali na Nzambe moko kati na Isalaele.
This day shall the Lord close thee in mine hand, and I shall smite thee, and take thine head from thee, and I wil giue the carkeises of the hoste of the Philistims this daye vnto the foules of the heauen, and to the beasts of the earth, that all the world may know that Israel hath a God,
47 Bato nyonso oyo basangani awa bakoyeba ete ezali na mopanga te to na likonga ya monene te nde Yawe abikisaka. Pamba te bitumba ezali ya Yawe, mpe Ye akokaba bino na maboko na biso.
And that all this assembly may know, that the Lord saueth not with sworde nor with speare (for the battel is the Lords) and he will giue you into our handes.
48 Wana moto ya Filisitia amibongisaki mpo na kokende kobundisa Davidi, Davidi akimaki mbangu na molongo ya liboso ya bitumba mpo na kokutana na moto ya Filisitia.
And when the Philistim arose to come and drawe neere vnto Dauid, Dauid hasted and ran to fight against the Philistim.
49 Davidi akotisaki loboko na ye kati na libenga na ye, azwaki libanga moko mpe abambaki yango na nzela ya ebambelo na ye ya mabanga; abetaki moto ya Filisitia na elongi. Libanga ekotaki kati na elongi ya moto ya Filisitia, mpe akweyaki elongi kino na mabele.
And Dauid put his hande in his bagge, and tooke out a stone, and slang it, and smote the Philistim in his forehead, that the stone sticked in his forehead, and he fell groueling to the earth.
50 Boye, Davidi alongaki moto ya Filisitia na nzela ya ebambelo mabanga na ye mpe na nzela ya libanga moko. Davidi abetaki moto ya Filisitia mpe abomaki ye, azalaki ata na mopanga te na loboko na ye.
So Dauid ouercame the Philistim with a sling and with a stone, and smote the Philistim, and slew him, when Dauid had no sword in his hand.
51 Davidi akimaki mbangu mpe atelemaki na likolo ya moto ya Filisitia, asimbaki mopanga ya moto ya Filisitia, abimisaki yango na ebombelo na yango, abomaki ye, mpe akataki moto na ye na nzela ya mopanga yango. Tango mampinga ya Filisitia bamonaki ete elombe na bango akufi, bakimaki.
Then Dauid ranne, and stood vpon the Philistim, and tooke his sword and drew it out of his sheath, and slewe him, and cut off his head therewith. So whe the Philistims saw, that their champion was dead, they fled.
52 Bato ya Isalaele mpe bato ya Yuda babimaki na mbala moko, bagangaki mpe balandaki bato ya Filisitia kino na ebandeli ya lubwaku mpe kino na bikuke ya Ekroni. Bibembe ya bato ya Filisitia etandamaki na nzela oyo ekenda na Shaarayimi kino na Gati mpe kino na Ekroni.
And the men of Israel and Iudah arose, and shouted, and followed after the Philistims, vntill they came to the valley, and vnto the gates of Ekron: and the Philistims fell downe wounded by the way of Shaaraim, euen to Gath and to Ekron.
53 Tango bato ya Isalaele batikaki kolanda bato ya Filisitia, bazongaki mpo na kozwa na makasi biloko oyo ezalaki kati na molako ya bato ya Filisitia.
And the children of Israel returned from pursuing the Philistims, and spoyled their tents.
54 Davidi azwaki moto ya moto ya Filisitia mpe amemaki yango na Yelusalemi; bongo azwaki bibundeli ya moto ya Filisitia mpe atiaki yango kati na ndako na ye ya kapo.
And Dauid tooke the head of ye Philistim, and brought it to Ierusalem, and put his armour in his tent.
55 Tango Saulo amonaki Davidi kokende kobundisa moto ya Filisitia, atunaki Abineri, mokonzi ya mampinga: — Elenge mobali oyo azali mwana ya nani? Abineri azongisaki: — Na kombo na yo mokonzi, nayebi te.
When Saul sawe Dauid go forth against the Philistim, he sayd vnto Abner the captaine of his hoste, Abner, whose sonne is this yong man? and Abner answered, As thy soule liueth, O King, I can not tell.
56 Mokonzi alobaki: — Tuna mpo na koyeba soki elenge mobali oyo azali mwana ya nani?
Then the King sayde, Enquire thou whose sonne this yong man is.
57 Tango kaka Davidi azongaki sima na ye koboma moto ya Filisitia, Abineri azwaki ye mpe amemaki ye na liboso ya Saulo. Davidi asimbaki na loboko na ye moto ya moto ya Filisitia.
And when Dauid was returned from the slaughter of the Philistim, then Abner tooke him, and brought him before Saul with the head of the Philistim in his hand.
58 Saulo atunaki Davidi: — Ozali mwana ya nani? Elenge mobali Davidi azongisaki: — Nazali mwana ya mosali na yo, Izayi, moto ya Beteleemi.
And Saul sayde to him, Whose sonne art thou, thou yong man? And Dauid answered, I am the sonne of thy seruant Ishai the Bethlehemite.
