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.
And it comes to pass in those days, that the Philistines gather their camps for the war, to fight against Israel, and Achish says to David, “You certainly know that you go out with me into the camp, you and your men.”
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.
And David says to Achish, “Therefore you know that which your servant does.” And Achish says to David, “Therefore I appoint you keeper of my head [for] all the days.”
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.
And Samuel has died, and all Israel mourns for him, and buries him in Ramah, even in his city, and Saul has turned aside those having familiar spirits, and the wizards, out of 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.
And the Philistines are gathered, and come in, and encamp in Shunem, and Saul gathers all Israel, and they encamp in Gilboa,
5 Tango Saulo amonaki mampinga ya bato ya Filisitia, abangaki mpe somo etondaki na motema na ye.
and Saul sees the camp of the Philistines, and fears, and his heart trembles greatly,
6 Saulo atunaki Yawe, kasi Yawe ayanolaki te, ezala na nzela ya ndoto, ya Urimi to ya basakoli.
and Saul inquires of YHWH, and YHWH has not answered him, either by the dreams, or by the Lights, or by the 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.
And Saul says to his servants, “Seek a woman for me possessing a familiar spirit, and I go to her, and inquire of her”; and his servants say to him, “Behold, a woman possessing a familiar spirit [is] in En-dor.”
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.
And Saul disguises himself and puts on other garments, and goes, he and two of the men with him, and they come to the woman by night, and he says, “Please divine to me by the familiar spirit, and cause him whom I say to you to come up to me.”
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?
And the woman says to him, “Behold, you have known that which Saul has done, that he has cut off those having familiar spirits, and the wizards, out of the land; and why are you laying a snare for my soul—to put me to death?”
10 Saulo alapaki ndayi epai na ye na Kombo na Yawe, alobaki: « Na Kombo na Yawe, okozwa solo etumbu te mpo na yango. »
And Saul swears to her by YHWH, saying, “YHWH lives, punishment does not meet you for this thing.”
11 Bongo mwasi yango atunaki: — Nabimisela yo nani? Saulo azongisaki: — Bimisela ngai Samuele.
And the woman says, “Whom do I bring up to you?” And he says, “Bring up Samuel to me.”
12 Tango mwasi yango amonaki Samuele, agangaki makasi mpe alobaki na Saulo: — Mpo na nini okosi ngai? Ozali Saulo!
And the woman sees Samuel, and cries with a loud voice, and the woman speaks to Saul, saying, “Why have you deceived me? For you [are] Saul!”
13 Mokonzi alobaki na ye: — Kobanga te, omoni nini? Mwasi alobaki na Saulo: — Namoni nzambe moko kobima na mabele.
And the king says to her, “Do not fear; for what have you seen?” And the woman says to Saul, “I have seen gods coming up out of the earth.”
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.
And he says to her, “What [is] his form?” And she says, “An aged man is coming up, and he [is] covered with an upper robe”; and Saul knows that he [is] Samuel, and bows—face to her earth—and pays respect.
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.
And Samuel says to Saul, “Why have you troubled me, to bring me up?” And Saul says, “I have great distress, and the Philistines are fighting against me, God has turned aside from me, and has not answered me anymore, either by the hand of the prophets, or by dreams; and I call for you to let me know what I [should] do.”
16 Samuele alobaki: — Mpo na nini ozali kotuna ngai, awa Yawe asili kopesa yo mokongo mpe akomi monguna na yo?
And Samuel says, “And why do you ask me, and YHWH has turned aside from you, and is 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,
And YHWH does for Himself as He has spoken by my hand, and YHWH tears the kingdom out of your hand, and gives it to your neighbor—to 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 have not listened to the voice of YHWH, nor did the fierceness of His anger on Amalek—therefore YHWH has done this thing to you this day;
19 Yawe akokaba yo mpe Isalaele na maboko ya bato ya Filisitia.
indeed, YHWH also gives Israel into the hand of the Philistines with you, and tomorrow you and your sons [are] with me; YHWH also gives the camp 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.
And Saul hurries and falls—the fullness of his stature—to the earth, and fears greatly because of the words of Samuel; also power was not in him, for he had not eaten bread all the day, and all the 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.
And the woman comes to Saul, and sees that he has been greatly troubled, and says to him, “Behold, your maidservant has listened to your voice, and I put my soul in my hand, and I obey your words which you have spoken to 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.
and now, please listen, you also, to the voice of your maidservant, and I set a morsel of bread before you; and eat, and there is power in you when you go in the 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.
And he refuses and says, “I do not eat”; and his servants urge him on, and also the woman, and he listens to their voice, and rises from the earth, and sits 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.
And the woman has a calf of the stall in the house, and she hurries and slaughters it, and takes flour, and kneads, and bakes it [into] unleavened things,
25 Atiaki yango liboso ya Saulo mpe liboso ya basali na ye, mpe baliaki. Bongo na butu wana kaka, batelemaki mpe bakendeki.
and brings [them] near before Saul, and before his servants, and they eat, and rise, and go on during that night.
