1 Samuele 2
1 Ana asambelaki na maloba oyo: Motema na ngai ezali kosepela mpo na Yawe mpo ete alendisi bomoi na ngai. Wana nazali na esengo mpo ete okangoli ngai, monoko na ngai ekotelemela banguna na ngai.
And Hannah prays and says: “My heart has exulted in YHWH, My horn has been high in YHWH, My mouth has been large over my enemies, For I have rejoiced in Your salvation.
2 Moko te azali bule lokola Yawe; moko te, bobele Yo. Libanga moko te ezali lokola Nzambe na biso.
There is none holy like YHWH, For there is none except You, And there is no rock like our God.
3 Bolobaloba maloba ebele te ya lolendo, mpe tika ete lofundu ebima na monoko na bino te, pamba te Yawe azali Nzambe oyo ayebi nyonso mpe asambisaka misala nyonso ya bato.
You do not multiply—you speak haughtily—The old saying goes out from your mouth, For YHWH [is] a God of knowledge, And actions are weighed by Him.
4 Tolotolo ya bilombe ebukani, kasi bato na bolembu bazwi makasi.
Bows of the mighty are broken, And the stumbling have girded on strength.
5 Bato oyo bazalaki na bozwi ebele bakomi koluka mosala mpo na bilei, kasi ba-oyo bazalaki kokelela batiki kosala. Mwasi oyo abotaki te akobota mbala sambo, kasi mwasi oyo abotaki bana ebele akobota lisusu te.
The satiated hired themselves for bread, And the hungry have ceased. While the barren has borne seven, And she abounding with sons has languished.
YHWH puts to death, and keeps alive, He brings down to Sheol, and brings up. (Sheol h7585)
7 Yawe akomisaka moto mobola, mpe akomisaka moto mozwi; akitisaka mpe atombolaka.
YHWH dispossesses, and He makes rich, He makes low, indeed, He makes high.
8 Alongolaka mobola na putulu, mpe abimisaka na fulu moto oyo azanga; mpo ete avandisa bango esika moko na bato ya lokumu mpe apesa bango kiti ya lokumu lokola libula. Pamba te miboko ya mabele ezali ya Yawe, mpe ezali na likolo na yango nde atia mokili.
He raises the poor from the dust, He lifts up the needy from a dunghill, To cause [them] to sit with nobles, Indeed, He causes them to inherit a throne of glory, For the fixtures of earth [are] of YHWH, And He sets the habitable world on them.
9 Yawe akobatelaka makolo ya babulami na Ye, kasi bato mabe bakobunga kati na molili. Moto akotikala kolonga te na makasi na ye moko.
He keeps the feet of His saints, And the wicked are silent in darkness, For man does not become mighty by power.
10 Bato oyo batiaka tembe na Yawe bakopanzana, pamba te akokweyisela bango kake wuta na likolo. Yawe akosambisa mokili mobimba, akopesa mokonzi na yango nguya mpe akobakisa makasi ya mopakolami na Ye.
YHWH—His adversaries are broken down, He thunders against them in the heavens: YHWH judges the ends of the earth, And gives strength to His king, And exalts the horn of His anointed.”
11 Sima na yango, Elikana azongaki na ndako na ye, na Rama; kasi mwana atikalaki mpo na kosalela Yawe na bokambami ya Nganga-Nzambe Eli.
And Elkanah goes to Ramath, to his house, and the youth has been serving YHWH [in] the presence of Eli the priest;
12 Bana mibali ya Eli bazalaki kilikili, bayebaki Yawe te.
and the sons of Eli [are] sons of worthlessness, they have not known YHWH.
13 Tala ndenge nini Banganga-Nzambe oyo bazalaki kosala na miso ya bato: tango nyonso moto moko azalaki koya kobonza mbeka, mosali ya Nganga-Nzambe azalaki koya na ngonga ya kotumba mbeka yango, azalaki kosimba kanya ya misapi misato na loboko na ye,
And the custom of the priests with the people [is that when] any man is sacrificing a sacrifice, then the servant of the priest has come in when the flesh is boiling, and [with] the hook of three teeth in his hand,
14 azalaki kokotisa yango na sani, na nzungu, na kikalungu to na mbeki; mpe azalaki kokamata, mpo na Nganga-Nzambe, eteni nyonso ya nyama oyo ezalaki kokangama na kanya. Ezali ndenge wana nde bana mibali ya Eli bazalaki kosala epai ya bana nyonso ya Isalaele oyo bazalaki kokende kuna na Silo.
and has struck [it] into the pan, or kettle, or cauldron, or pot; all that the hook brings up the priest takes for himself; thus they do to all Israel who are coming in there in Shiloh.
15 Kutu, liboso ete mafuta ya mbeka etumbama, mosali ya Nganga-Nzambe azalaki koya koloba na moto oyo azalaki kobonza mbeka: « Longolaka libela eteni ya Nganga-Nzambe, pamba te akondima te kozwa na maboko na yo nyama oyo yo moko otumbi; kasi akondima kaka nyama ya mobesu. »
Also, before they make incense with the fat, then the priest’s servant has come in and said to the man who is sacrificing, “Give flesh to roast for the priest, and he does not take boiled flesh from you, but raw”;
16 Bongo soki moto yango azongiseli mosali ya Nganga-Nzambe: « Tika ete mafuta etumbama nanu, bongo okozwa, na sima, eteni oyo olingi, » mosali azalaki kozongisa: « Te! Pesa ngai yango nde sik’oyo, noki te nakozwa yango na makasi. »
and the man says to him, “Let them surely make incense with the fat according to the [custom] today, then take to yourself as your soul desires”; and he has said to him, “Surely you give now; and if not—I have taken by strength.”
17 Lisumu oyo ya bana mibali ya Eli ezalaki monene na miso ya Yawe, pamba te bazalaki kozwa na limemia te mbeka oyo ebonzami mpo na Yawe.
And the sin of the young men is very great [in] the presence of YHWH, for the men have despised the offering of YHWH.
18 Kasi Samuele azalaki kosala mosala na ye liboso ya Yawe. Elenge mobali Samuele azalaki kolata efode ya lino.
And Samuel is ministering [in] the presence of YHWH, a youth girt [with] an ephod of linen;
19 Mibu nyonso, mama na ye azalaki kotongela ye nzambala ya moke, mpe azalaki komemela ye yango tango nyonso azalaki kokende elongo na mobali na ye mpo na kobonza mbeka.
and his mother makes a small upper coat for him, and she has brought it up to him from time to time, in her coming up with her husband to sacrifice the sacrifice of the time.
20 Eli azalaki kopambola Elikana mpe mwasi na ye na maloba oyo: « Tika ete Yawe apesa yo bana na nzela ya mwasi oyo, mpo na kozwa esika ya mwana oyo asengaki na mabondeli mpe abonzaki epai na Yawe! » Sima na yango, bazongaki epai na bango.
And Eli blessed Elkanah and his wife, and said, “YHWH appoints seed of this woman for you, for the petition which she asked for YHWH”; and they have gone to their place.
21 Yawe asalelaki Ana ngolu, mpe Ana azwaki lisusu bazemi, abotaki bana mibali misato mpe bana basi mibale. Nzokande elenge mobali Samuele azalaki kokola liboso ya Yawe.
When YHWH has looked after Hannah, then she conceives and bears three sons and two daughters; and the youth Samuel grows up with YHWH.
22 Eli akomaki mobange makasi, mpe azalaki koyoka makambo nyonso oyo bana na ye ya mibali bazalaki kosala epai ya bana nyonso ya Isalaele; azalaki mpe koyoka ete bazalaki kosangisa nzoto na basi oyo bazalaki kosala na ekotelo ya Ndako ya kapo ya Bokutani.
And Eli [is] very old, and has heard all that his sons do to all Israel, and how that they lie with the women who are assembling [at] the opening of the Tent of Meeting,
23 Alobaki na bango: « Mpo na nini bozali kosala makambo mabe boye? Nazali koyoka bato nyonso kolobela yango.
and he says to them, “Why do you do things like these? For I am hearing of your evil words from all the people—these!
24 Te, bana na ngai! Sango oyo nazali koyoka bato ya Yawe kopanza na tina na bino ezali malamu te.
No, my sons; for the report which I am hearing is not good, causing the people of YHWH to transgress.
25 Pamba te soki moto asali moninga na ye mabe, Nzambe akosambisa ye; kasi soki moto asali lisumu epai na Yawe, nani akoloba mpo na ye? » Kasi bana batikalaki koyokela tata na bango te, pamba te ezalaki mokano ya Yawe mpo na koboma bango.
If a man sins against a man, then God has judged him; but if a man sins against YHWH, who prays for him?” And they do not listen to the voice of their father, though YHWH has delighted to put them to death.
26 Elenge mobali Samuele akobaki kokola na nzoto, mpe azalaki kosepelisa Yawe mpe bato.
And the youth Samuel is going on and growing up, and [is] good with both YHWH, and also with men.
27 Mokolo moko, moto moko na Nzambe ayaki epai ya Eli mpe alobaki na ye: — Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: « Boni, namimonisaki te na polele epai ya libota ya tata na yo tango bazalaki na Ejipito, na se ya bokonzi ya Faraon?
And a man of God comes to Eli and says to him, “Thus said YHWH: Was I really revealed to the house of your father in their being in Egypt, before Pharaoh’s house,
28 Naponaki tata na yo kati na bikolo nyonso ya Isalaele mpo ete asalela Ngai lokola Nganga-Nzambe, mpo ete amata na etumbelo na Ngai, atumba mbeka ya malasi mpe alata efode liboso na Ngai. Napesaki lisusu, na libota ya tata na yo, makabo nyonso ya bana ya Isalaele, makabo oyo bazikisa na moto.
even to choose him out of all the tribes of Israel for a priest for Myself, to go up on My altar, to make incense, to bear an ephod before Me, and I give to the house of your father all the fire-offerings of the sons of Israel?
29 Bongo mpo na nini bozali kozwa na limemia te bambeka mpe makabo na Ngai, oyo napeselaki mitindo ete epesama kati na Ndako na Ngai? Mpo na nini ozali kopesa bana na yo ya mibali lokumu koleka Ngai, na ndenge bozali kolia biteni oyo eleki kitoko kati na bambeka oyo bato na Ngai, Isalaele, bazali kobonzela Ngai?
Why do you kick at My sacrifice and at My offering, which I commanded [in] My habitation, and honor your sons above Me, to make yourselves fat from the first part of every offering of Israel, of My people?
30 Lokola ezali bongo, tala makambo oyo Ngai Yawe, Nzambe ya Isalaele, nalobi: ‹ Nalakaki ete libota na yo mpe libota ya tata na yo bakosalela Ngai tango nyonso lokola Banganga-Nzambe. › Kasi sik’oyo, Ngai Yawe nalobi: ‹ Esili! Mosika na Ngai elaka oyo! Bato oyo bazali kopesa Ngai lokumu, bango kaka nde Ngai nakopesa lokumu; kasi ba-oyo bazali kotiola Ngai, nakoyokisa bango soni.
Therefore—a declaration of YHWH, God of Israel—I certainly said, Your house and the house of your father walk up and down before Me for all time; and now—a declaration of YHWH—Far be it from Me! For he who is honoring Me, I honor, and those despising Me, are lightly esteemed.
31 Mpe na mikolo oyo ezali koya, nakokomisa mikolo na yo mpe ya libota na yo mikuse, mpe mobange akotikala kozala lisusu te kati na molongo ya libota na yo.
Behold, days [are] coming, and I have cut off your arm, and the arm of the house of your father, that an old man is not in your house;
32 Atako bakosalela Isalaele bolamu, kasi yo okomona pasi kati na Ndako na Ngai; mpe mobange akotikala kozala lisusu te kati na molongo ya libota na yo.
and you have beheld an adversary [in My] habitation, in all that He does good with Israel, and there is not an old man in your house all the days.
33 Nzokande, kati na bato na yo, ekozala na moto moko oyo nakolongola te liboso ya etumbelo na Ngai, mpo ete obanda koyokelaka ye zuwa mpe obanda kozikaka motema; kasi bana nyonso oyo bakobotama na ndako na yo bakokufa na bolenge na bango.
And the man of yours I do not cut off from My altar—[My purpose is] to consume your eyes, and to grieve your soul; and all the increase of men [in] your house die;
34 Mpe makambo oyo ekokweyela bana na yo mibale ya mibali, Ofini mpe Fineasi, ekozala elembo mpo na yo: bango mibale bakokufa mokolo moko.
and this [is] the sign to you that comes to your two sons, to Hophni and Phinehas—in one day both of them die;
35 Nakomiponela Nganga-Nzambe ya sembo oyo akosala kolanda motema mpe makanisi na Ngai. Nakobongisela ye libota moko oyo ekowumela, mpe akosala tango nyonso mosala ya bonganga-Nzambe liboso ya mopakolami na Ngai.
and I have raised up a steadfast priest for Myself; he does as in My heart and in My soul; and I have built a steadfast house for him, and he has walked up and down before My anointed all the days;
36 Bongo moto nyonso oyo akotikala kati na libota na yo akobanda koya kofukama liboso na ye mpo na kozwa mbongo moko ya palata mpe eteni ya lipa, mpe akoloba: ‘Kotisa ngai ata na mosala moko kati na misala ya bonganga-Nzambe mpo ete nazwaka ata eteni ya lipa.’ › »
and it has been, everyone who is left in your house comes to bow himself to him for a wage of silver and a cake of bread, and has said, Please admit me to one of the priest’s offices, to eat a morsel of bread.”
