1 Samuele 25
1 Samuele akufaki, mpe Isalaele mobimba esanganaki mpo na kosala matanga na tina na ye; bongo bakundaki ye na mboka na ye, Rama. Davidi akendeki na esobe ya Parani.
And Samuel died, and all Israel assembled, and bewailed him, and they bury him in his house in Armathaim: and David arose, and went down to the wilderness of Maon.
2 Na mboka Maoni, ezalaki na moto moko ya bozwi oyo bomengo na ye ezalaki kati na mboka Karimeli. Azalaki na bameme ya mibali nkoto misato mpe bantaba ya basi nkoto moko. Na eleko oyo, azalaki kati na Karimeli epai wapi azalaki kokata bameme na ye bapwale.
And there was a man in Maon, and his flocks were in Carmel, and [he was] a very great man; and he had three thousand sheep, and a thousand she-goats: and he happened to be shearing his flock in Carmel.
3 Kombo na ye ezalaki « Nabali, » mpe kombo ya mwasi na ye ezalaki « Abigayili. » Abigayili azalaki mwasi ya mayele mpe ya kitoko; kasi mobali na ye, moto ya etuka Kalebi, azalaki motema makasi mpe moto mabe.
And the man's name [was] Nabal, and his wife's name [was] Abigaia: and his wife [was] of good understanding and very beautiful in person: but the man [was] harsh, and evil in his doings, and the man [was] churlish.
4 Wana Davidi azali kati na esobe, ayokaki ete Nabali azali kokata bameme na ye bapwale.
And David heard in the wilderness, that Nabal the Carmelite was shearing his sheep.
5 Davidi atindaki bilenge mibali zomi, alobaki na bango: « Bokende na Karimeli epai ya Nabali mpe bopesa ye mbote na kombo na ngai.
And David sent ten young men, and he said to the young men, Go up to Carmel, and go to Nabal, and ask him in my name how he is.
6 Boyebisa ye: ‹ Tika ete bomoi molayi epesamela yo! Tika ete kimia ezala na yo, na libota na yo mpe na nyonso oyo ezali ya yo!
And thus shall you say, May you and your house seasonably prosper, and all your be in prosperity.
7 Nayoki ete bazali kokata bameme bapwale epai na yo. Nzokande, tango nyonso oyo babateli bibwele na yo bazalaki elongo na biso na Karimeli, tosalaki bango mabe ata moko te, mpe babungisaki ata eloko moko te.
And now, behold, I have heard that your shepherds who were with is in the wilderness are shearing your sheep, and we hindered them not, neither did we demand any thing from them all the time they were in Carmel.
8 Tuna basali na yo, bakoyebisa yo. Boye, tika ete bilenge mibali na ngai bazwa ngolu na miso na yo, lokola tokomi epai na yo na mokolo ya feti! Nabondeli yo, pesa na basali na yo mpe na Davidi, mwana na yo ya mobali, eloko nyonso oyo okokoka kozwa mpo na bango. › »
Ask your servants, and they will tell you. Let then your servants find grace in your eyes, for we are come on a good day; give we pray you, whatever your hand may find, to your son David.
9 Tango bilenge mibali ya Davidi bakomaki epai ya Nabali, bayebisaki ye makambo oyo nyonso na kombo ya Davidi, mpe bazelaki.
So the servants come and speak these words to Nabal, according to all these words in the name of David.
10 Kasi Nabali azongiselaki basali ya Davidi: « Davidi azali nani? Mwana mobali ya Izayi azali nani? Mikolo oyo, basali ebele bazali kokima bankolo na bango.
And Nabal sprang up, and answered the servants of David, and said, Who [is] David? and who [is] the son of Jessae? Now-a-days there is abundance of servants who depart every one from his master.
11 Mpo na nini nakamata mapa na ngai, mayi na ngai mpe mosuni, oyo nabongisi mpo na bato na ngai, oyo bakataka bapwale, mpo na kopesa yango epai ya bato oyo nayebi kutu epai bawuti te? »
And shall I take my bread, and my wine, and my beasts that I have slain for my shearers, and shall I give them to men of whom I know not whence they are?
12 Bilenge mibali ya Davidi babalukaki mpe bazongaki. Tango bakomaki, bayebisaki Davidi makambo oyo Nabali alobaki.
So the servants of David turned back, and returned, and came and reported to David according to these words.
13 Davidi alobaki na basoda na ye: « Tika ete moko na moko atia mopanga na ye na loketo. » Boye, batiaki mipanga na bango na loketo, mpe Davidi atiaki mpe oyo ya ye. Bato pene nkama minei bakendeki elongo na Davidi, mpe bato nkama mibale batikalaki mpo na kobatela biloko.
And David said to his men, Gird on every man his sword. And they went up after David, about four hundred men: and two hundred abode with the stuff.
14 Moko kati na basali ya Nabali alobaki na Abigayili, mwasi ya Nabali: « Davidi atindaki bantoma wuta na esobe mpo na kopambola nkolo na biso, kasi ye atombokelaki bango.
And one of the servants reported to Abigaia the wife of Nabal, saying, Behold, David sent messengers out of the wilderness to salute our lord; but he turned away from them.
15 Nzokande bato yango basalelaki biso penza bolamu, basalaki biso mabe ata moko te, mpe, tango nyonso totambolaki elongo na bango na zamba, tobungisaki ata eloko moko te.
And the men were very good to us; they did not hinder us, neither did they demand from us any thing all the days that we were with them.
16 Butu mpe moyi, tango nyonso tozalaki koleisa bibwele na biso pene na bango, bazalaki lokola mir zingazinga na biso.
And when we were in the field, they were as a wall round about us, both by night and by day, all the days that we were with them feeding the flock.
17 Sik’oyo, yeba kokanisa mpo na yango mpe tala eloko nini osengeli kosala, pamba te mokano ya koboma nkolo na biso mpe libota na ye mobimba esili kozwama. Nkolo na biso azali moto mabe koleka, boye moto moko te akoki kosolola na ye. »
And now do you consider, and see what you will do; for mischief is determined against our lord and against his house; and he [is] a vile character, and one can’t speak to him.
18 Abigayili asalaki na lombangu, azwaki mapa nkama mibale, bambeki mibale ya vino, bameme batumba mitano, bakilo tuku motoba na mibale na bagrame nkama mitano ya ble bakalinga, maboke nkama moko ya bambuma ya vino ekawuka mpe bagato nkama mibale basala na bambuma ya figi; mpe atiaki yango na likolo ya ba-ane.
And Abigaia hasted, and took two hundred loaves, and two vessels of wine, and five sheep ready dressed, and five ephahs of fine flour, and one homer of dried grapes, and two hundred cakes of figs, and put them upon asses.
19 Bongo alobaki na basali na ye: « Bokende liboso na ngai, nazali kolanda bino. » Kasi ayebisaki mobali na ye, Nabali, te.
And she said to her servants, Go on before me, and behold I come after you: but she told not her husband.
20 Wana Abigayili azalaki na likolo ya ane, azalaki kokita sima na ngomba. Na tango yango kaka, Davidi mpe bato na ye bazalaki mpe kokita na ngambo epai wapi Abigayili azalaki, mpe akutanaki na bango.
And it came to pass when she had mounted her ass and was going down by the covert of the mountain, behold, David and his men came down to meet her, and she met them.
21 Davidi awutaki komilobela: « Ezalaki na pamba nde nabatelaki biloko nyonso ya moto oyo kati na esobe mpo ete eloko moko te ebunga kati na biloko na ye nyonso! Azongiseli ngai mabe na esika ya bolamu oyo nasalelaki ye!
And David said, Perhaps I have kept all his possessions in the wilderness that he should wrong me, and we did not order the taking anything of all his goods; yet he has rewarded me evil for good.
22 Tika ete Nzambe apesa ngai Davidi etumbu ya makasi soki, kino lobi na tongo, natiki na bomoi mobali moko kati na bato nyonso oyo bazali ya Nabali! »
So God do to David and more also, if I leave one male of all that belong to Nabal until the morning.
23 Tango Abigayili amonaki Davidi, akitaki na lombangu wuta na ane na ye mpe agumbamaki na liboso ya Davidi, elongi kino na mabele.
And Abigaia saw David, and she hasted and alighted from her ass; and she felt before David on her face, and did obeisance to him, [bowing] to the ground
24 Akweyaki na makolo ya Davidi mpe alobaki: — Oh nkolo na ngai, tika ete mbeba ezala kaka na moto na ngai! Nabondeli yo, tika ete mwasi mosali na yo asolola na yo! Yoka makambo oyo mwasi mosali na yo alingi koyebisa yo.
[even] to his feet, and said, On me, my lord, be my wrong: let, I pray you, your servant speak in your ears, and hear you the words of your servant.
25 Tika ete nkolo na ngai atala te Nabali, mobali oyo ya mabe, pamba te azali penza ndenge kombo na ye ezali; kombo na ye ezali Nabali, mpe elingi koloba: moto ya liboma. Mpe liboma ezali penza kotambola elongo na ye. Ngai mwasi mosali na yo, namonaki te bilenge mibali oyo mokonzi na ngai atindaki.
Let not my lord, I pray you, take to heart this pestilent man, for according to his name, so is he; Nabal [is] his name, and folly [is] with him: but I your handmaid saw not the servants of my lord whom you did send.
26 Sik’oyo, nkolo na ngai, na Kombo na Yawe mpe na kombo na yo, lokola Yawe apesi yo nzela te ya koboma mpe ya kozongisa yo moko mabe na mabe, tika ete banguna na yo mpe bato nyonso oyo bazali makasi ya kosala mabe epai ya nkolo na ngai bazala lokola Nabali.
And now, my lord, [as] the Lord lives, and your soul lives, as the Lord has kept you from coming against innocent blood, and from executing vengeance for yourself, now therefore let your enemies, and those that seek evil against my lord, become as Nabal.
27 Mpe tika ete bakado oyo mwasi mosali na yo amemeli nkolo na ngai epesamela mibali oyo bazali kolanda yo.
And now accept this token of goodwill, which your servant has brought to my lord, and you shall give it to the servants that wait on my lord.
28 Nabondeli yo, limbisa mabe ya mwasi mosali na yo. Yawe akosala penza ete libota ya nkolo na ngai ewumela tango nyonso na bokonzi, pamba te obundaka bitumba ya Yawe. Tika ete, tango nyonso okozala na bomoi, mabe ata moko te emonana kati na yo.
Remove, I pray you, the trespass of your servant; for the Lord will surely make for my lord a sure house, for the Lord fights the battles of my lord, and there shall no evil be ever found in you.
29 Ezala soki moto moko atelemi mpo na kolanda yo to mpo na koboma yo, Yawe, Nzambe na yo, akobatela malamu bomoi ya nkolo na ngai kati na bato ya bomoi, kasi akobwaka banguna na yo mosika lokola na ebambelo mabanga.
And [if] a man shall rise up persecuting you and seeking your life, yet shall the life of my lord be bound up in the bundle of life with the Lord God, and you shall whirl the life of your enemies [as] in the midst of a sling.
30 Tango Yawe akokokisela nkolo na ngai bolamu nyonso oyo alakaki yo mpe akokomisa yo mokambi ya Isalaele,
And it shall be when the Lord shall have wrought for my lord all the good things he has spoken concerning you, and shall appoint you to be ruler over Israel;
31 nkolo na ngai akoyoka mawa te na motema na ye mpe akomitungisa te na makanisi mpo ete asopaki makila na pamba mpe azongisaki ye moko mabe na mabe. Bongo tango Yawe akosalela nkolo na ngai bolamu, okokanisela mwasi mosali na yo.
then this shall not be an abomination and offense to my lord, to have shed innocent blood without cause, and for my lord to have avenged himself: and so may the Lord do good to my lord, and you shall remember your handmaid to do her good.
32 Davidi azongiselaki Abigayili: — Tika ete apambolama, Yawe, Nzambe ya Isalaele, oyo atindi yo kokutana na ngai na mokolo ya lelo!
And David said to Abigaia, Blessed [be] the Lord God of Israel, who sent you this very day to meet me:
33 Tika ete mayele na yo epambolama! Tika ete yo moko mpe opambolama mpo ete opesi ngai nzela te ya koboma mpe ya kozongisa ngai moko mabe na mabe!
and blessed [be] your conduct, and blessed [be] you, who have hindered me this very day from coming to shed blood, and from avenging myself.
34 Nzokande, na Kombo na Yawe, Nzambe ya Isalaele, oyo apesi ngai nzela te ya kosala yo mabe, soki oyaki noki te mpo na kokutana na ngai, mobali moko te kati na ndako ya Nabali alingaki kotikala na bomoi kino lobi na tongo.
But surely as the Lord God of Israel lives, who hindered me this day from doing you harm, if you had not hasted and come to meet me, then I said, There shall [surely] not be left to Nabal till the morning one male.
35 Boye Davidi azwaki bakado oyo Abigayili amemelaki ye mpe alobaki: — Zonga epai na yo na kimia. Nayoki maloba na yo mpe nakosala ndenge osengi ngai.
And David took of her hand all that she brought to him, and said to her, Go in peace to your house: see, I have listened to your voice, and accepted your petition.
36 Tango Abigayili akomaki epai ya Nabali, akutaki Nabali azali kosala feti kati na ndako na ye ndenge penza mokonzi asalaka yango. Azalaki na loyenge mpe alangwaki makasi. Boye Abigayili ayebisaki ye eloko te kino na tongo ya mokolo oyo elandaki.
And Abigaia came to Nabal: and, behold, he had a banquet in this house, as the banquet of a king, and the heart of Nabal [was] merry within him, and he [was] very drunken: and she told him nothing great or small till the morning light.
37 Kasi na tongo, lokola milangwa na ye esilaki, mwasi na ye ayebisaki ye makambo nyonso oyo elekaki. Nabali ayokaki pasi na motema mpe akangamaki lokola libanga.
And it came to pass in the morning, when Nabal recovered from his wine, his wife told him these words; and his heart died within him, and he became as a stone.
38 Sima na mikolo zomi, Yawe abetaki Nabali, mpe akufaki.
And it came to pass after about ten days, that the Lord struck Nabal, and he died.
39 Tango Davidi ayokaki ete Nabali akufi, alobaki: « Tika ete apambolama, Yawe oyo akoti likambo na ngai na ndenge Nabali atiolaki ngai! Apesi te na mosali na Ye nzela ya kosala mabe, kasi akweyisi mabe ya Nabali na moto na ye moko! » Bongo Davidi atindaki maloba epai ya Abigayili mpo na kosenga ye ete akoma mwasi na ye.
And David heard it and said, Blessed [be] the Lord, who has judged the cause of my reproach at the hand of Nabal, and has delivered his servant from the power of evil; and the Lord has returned the mischief of Nabal upon his own head. And David sent and spoke concerning Abigaia, to take her to himself for a wife.
40 Basali ya Davidi bakendeki na Karimeli mpe balobaki na Abigayili: — Davidi atindi biso epai na yo mpo ete toya kozwa yo mpo okoma mwasi na ye.
So the servants of David came to Abigaia to Carmel, and spoke to her, saying, David has sent us to you, to take you to himself for a wife.
41 Abigayili agumbamaki elongi kino na mabele mpe alobaki: — Mwasi mosali na yo, ye oyo! Abongami mpo na kosalela bino mpe mpo na kosukola makolo ya basali ya nkolo na ngai.
And she arose, and did reverence with her face to the earth, and said, Behold, your servant [is] for an handmaid to wash the feet of your servants.
42 Abigayili amataki na ane na lombangu mpe akendeki nzela moko na bantoma ya Davidi elongo na basali na ye mitano ya basi. Mpe akomaki mwasi ya Davidi.
And Abigaia arose, and mounted her ass, and five damsels followed her: and she went after the servants of David, and became his wife.
43 Davidi abalaki lisusu Ayinoami, moto ya Jizireyeli; mpe bango mibale bakomaki basi na ye.
And David took Achinaam out of Jezrael, and they were both his wives.
44 Kasi Saulo abalisaki Mikali, mwana na ye ya mwasi, oyo azalaki mwasi ya Davidi, epai ya Paliti, mwana mobali ya Laishi, moto na Galimi.
And Saul gave Melchol his daughter, David's wife, to Phalti the son of Amis who was of Romma.
