< 1 Samuele 28 >

1 Na tango wana, bato ya Filisitia basangisaki mampinga na bango ya basoda mpo na kobundisa Isalaele. Akishi alobaki na Davidi: — Osengeli koyeba ete yo mpe bato na yo bokokende na bitumba elongo na ngai.
Now in those days the Philistines gathered their forces for warfare against Israel. So Achish said to David, “You must understand that you and your men are to go out to battle with me.”
2 Davidi azongiselaki Akishi: — Okomona yo moko makambo oyo mosali na yo azali na makoki ya kosala. Akishi alobaki na Davidi: — Malamu mingi! Nakokomisa yo mpo na libela soda oyo abatelaka ngai.
David replied, “Then you will come to know what your servant can do.” “Very well,” said Achish. “I will make you my bodyguard for life.”
3 Nzokande Samuele akufaki, mpe Isalaele mobimba esalelaki ye matanga. Bakundaki ye na Rama, engumba na ye. Saulo abenganaki na mokili na ye bato oyo basololaka na bakufi mpe bato na soloka.
Now by this time Samuel had died, and all Israel had mourned for him and buried him in Ramah, his own city. And Saul had removed the mediums and spiritists from the land.
4 Wana bato ya Filisitia basanganaki mpe bayaki kotonga molako, na Sunemi, Saulo mpe asangisaki bato nyonso ya Isalaele mpe batongaki molako na Giliboa.
The Philistines came together and camped at Shunem, while Saul gathered all Israel and camped at Gilboa.
5 Tango Saulo amonaki mampinga ya bato ya Filisitia, abangaki mpe somo etondaki na motema na ye.
When Saul saw the Philistine army, he was afraid and trembled violently.
6 Saulo atunaki Yawe, kasi Yawe ayanolaki te, ezala na nzela ya ndoto, ya Urimi to ya basakoli.
He inquired of the LORD, but the LORD did not answer him by dreams or Urim or prophets.
7 Bongo, Saulo alobaki na basali na ye: — Bolukela ngai mwasi oyo asololaka na bakufi mpo ete nakende kotuna ye. Basali na ye bazongisaki: — Tala, ezali na mwasi moko na Eyini-Dori.
Then Saul said to his servants, “Find me a woman who is a medium, so I can go and consult her.” “There is a medium at Endor,” his servants replied.
8 Boye Saulo amibongolaki, alataki bilamba mosusu mpe akendeki epai ya mwasi yango, na butu, elongo na mibali mibale. Alobaki: — Nabondeli yo, solola na bakufi mpo na ngai, mpe bimisela ngai moto oyo nakotanga kombo na ye.
So Saul disguised himself by putting on different clothes, and he set out with two of his men. They came to the woman at night, and Saul said, “Consult a spirit for me. Bring up for me the one I name.”
9 Kasi mwasi yango alobaki na ye: — Oyebi solo makambo oyo Saulo asalaki. Abenganaki na mokili, bato oyo basololaka na bakufi mpe bato na soloka. Bongo mpo na nini otieli bomoi na ngai motambo mpo na kobomisa ngai?
But the woman replied, “Surely you know what Saul has done, how he has killed the mediums and spiritists in the land. Why have you set a trap to get me killed?”
10 Saulo alapaki ndayi epai na ye na Kombo na Yawe, alobaki: « Na Kombo na Yawe, okozwa solo etumbu te mpo na yango. »
Then Saul swore to her by the LORD: “As surely as the LORD lives, no punishment shall come upon you for this.”
11 Bongo mwasi yango atunaki: — Nabimisela yo nani? Saulo azongisaki: — Bimisela ngai Samuele.
“Whom shall I bring up for you?” the woman asked. “Bring up Samuel,” he replied.
12 Tango mwasi yango amonaki Samuele, agangaki makasi mpe alobaki na Saulo: — Mpo na nini okosi ngai? Ozali Saulo!
But when the woman saw Samuel, she cried out in a loud voice and said to Saul, “Why have you deceived me? You are Saul!”
13 Mokonzi alobaki na ye: — Kobanga te, omoni nini? Mwasi alobaki na Saulo: — Namoni nzambe moko kobima na mabele.
“Do not be afraid,” the king replied. “What do you see?” “I see a god coming up out of the earth,” the woman answered.
14 Saulo atunaki ye: — Azali ndenge nini? Mwasi azongisaki: — Ezali mobange mobali moko nde azali komata mpe alati kazaka. Bongo tango Saulo asosolaki ete ezali Samuele, akitaki mpe agumbamaki elongi kino na mabele.
“What does he look like?” asked Saul. “An old man is coming up,” she replied. “And he is wearing a robe.” So Saul knew that it was Samuel, and he bowed facedown in reverence.
15 Samuele alobaki na Saulo: — Mpo na nini otungisi ngai mpe obimisi ngai? Saulo alobaki: — Nazali na pasi makasi: bato ya Filisitia bazali kobundisa ngai; bongo Nzambe apesi ngai mokongo, azali koyanola ngai te, ezala na nzela ya basakoli to ya bandoto. Yango wana nabengi yo mpo ete oyebisa ngai likambo nini nakoki kosala.
Then Samuel said to Saul, “Why have you disturbed me by bringing me up?” “I am deeply distressed,” replied Saul. “The Philistines are fighting against me, and God has turned away from me. He no longer answers me, either by prophets or by dreams. So I have called on you to tell me what to do.”
16 Samuele alobaki: — Mpo na nini ozali kotuna ngai, awa Yawe asili kopesa yo mokongo mpe akomi monguna na yo?
“Why do you consult me,” asked Samuel, “since the LORD has turned away from you and become your enemy?
17 Yawe akokisi kaka makambo oyo asakolaki na nzela na ngai: Yawe abotoli bokonzi na maboko na yo mpe apesi yango na moninga na yo, Davidi,
He has done exactly what He spoke through me: The LORD has torn the kingship out of your hand and given it to your neighbor David.
18 pamba te otosaki Yawe te mpe okweyiselaki te bato ya Amaleki kanda ya Yawe na koboma bango nyonso. Yango wana Yawe asali yo bongo lelo.
Because you did not obey the LORD or carry out His burning anger against Amalek, the LORD has done this to you today.
19 Yawe akokaba yo mpe Isalaele na maboko ya bato ya Filisitia.
Moreover, the LORD will deliver Israel with you into the hand of the Philistines, and tomorrow you and your sons will be with me. And the LORD will deliver the army of Israel into the hand of the Philistines.”
20 Mbala moko, Saulo abombamaki na mabele mpe ayokaki maloba ya Samuele somo mingi. Nzoto na ye elembaki mpo ete aliaki eloko moko te mokolo mobimba mpe butu mobimba.
Immediately Saul fell flat on the ground, terrified by the words of Samuel. And his strength was gone, because he had not eaten anything all that day and night.
21 Tango mwasi apusanaki pembeni ya Saulo mpe amonaki ete azali lisusu na kimia te, alobaki na ye: — Tala, mwasi mosali na yo atosaki yo. Nandimaki kokufa mpo na kaka kosala makambo oyo otindaki ngai.
When the woman came to Saul and saw how distraught he was, she said to him, “Look, your maidservant has obeyed your voice. I took my life in my hands and did as you told me.
22 Sik’oyo, yo mpe, nabondeli yo: yoka mwasi mosali na yo, mpe tika ete ngai napesa yo bilei mpo ete olia mpe ozwa makasi ya kokoba nzela na yo.
Now please listen to your servant and let me set a morsel of bread before you so you may eat and have the strength to go on your way.”
23 Kasi Saulo aboyaki mpe alobaki: — Nakolia te. Kasi lokola basali na ye elongo na mwasi batiaki molende, Saulo ayokelaki bango. Saulo alamukaki mpe avandaki na mbeto.
Saul refused, saying, “I will not eat.” But his servants joined the woman in urging him, and he heeded their voice. He got up from the ground and sat on the bed.
24 Mwasi azalaki na mwana ngombe ya mafuta epai na ye, na etonga. Abonzaki yango noki-noki lokola mbeka. Akamataki farine, asangisaki yango mpe atumbelaki bango mapa ezanga levire.
The woman had a fattened calf at her house, and she quickly slaughtered it. She also took flour, kneaded it, and baked unleavened bread.
25 Atiaki yango liboso ya Saulo mpe liboso ya basali na ye, mpe baliaki. Bongo na butu wana kaka, batelemaki mpe bakendeki.
She served it to Saul and his servants, and they ate. And that night they got up and left.
