1 Samuele 30
1 Davidi mpe bato na ye bakomaki na Tsikilagi, na mokolo ya misato. Na tango wana mpe, bato ya Amaleki bakotaki na ngambo ya Sude mpe na Tsikilagi. Babundisaki Tsikilagi mpe batumbaki yango.
Now when David and his men were come to Siceleg on the third day, the Amalecites had made an invasion on the south side upon Siceleg, and had smitten Siceleg, and burnt it with fire.
2 Bakangaki na bowumbu basi mpe bato nyonso oyo bazalaki kuna, ezala bilenge to mikolo, kasi babomaki moko te kati na bango. Bamemaki bango mpe bazongelaki nzela na bango.
And had taken the women captives that were in it, both little and great: and they had not killed any person, but had carried them with them, and went on their way.
3 Tango Davidi mpe bato na ye bakomaki na engumba Tsikilagi, bakutaki yango ebebisama na moto. Basi na bango, bana na bango ya mibali mpe ya basi bakomaki bawumbu.
So when David and his men came to the city, and found it burnt with fire, and that their wives and their sons, and their daughters were taken captives,
4 Davidi mpe bato na ye balelaki makasi kino bazangaki makasi ya kolela.
David and the people that were with him, lifted up their voices, and wept till they had no more tears.
5 Bamemaki mpe na bowumbu basi mibale ya Davidi: Ayinoami, moto ya Jizireyeli; mpe Abigayili, moto ya Karimeli, oyo akufisaki mobali, Nabali.
For the two wives also of David were taken captives, Achinoam the Jezrahelitess, and Abigail the wife of Nabal of Carmel.
6 Davidi ayokaki pasi makasi na motema, pamba te bato bazalaki komibongisa mpo na koboma ye na mabanga, mpo ete moto nyonso azalaki na pasi na motema mpo na bana na ye ya mibali mpe ya basi. Kasi Davidi amilendisaki kati na Yawe, Nzambe na ye.
And David was greatly afflicted: for the people had a mind to stone him, for the soul of every man was bitterly grieved for his sons, and daughters: but David took courage in the Lord his God.
7 Boye Davidi alobaki na Nganga-Nzambe Abiatari, mwana mobali ya Ayimeleki: « Memela ngai efode. » Mpe Abiatari amemelaki ye yango.
And he said to Abiathar the priest the son of Achimelech: Bring me hither the ephod. And Abiathar brought the ephod to David.
8 Bongo Davidi atunaki Yawe: — Nakoki na ngai kolanda lisanga oyo ya miyibi? Nakokoka na ngai kokanga bango? Yawe azongiselaki ye: — Landa bango, okokanga bango solo mpe okokangola bakangami.
And David consulted the Lord, saying: Shall I pursue after these robbers, and shall I overtake them, or not? And the Lord said to him: Pursue after them: for thou shalt surely overtake them and recover the prey.
9 Davidi akendeki elongo na basoda na ye, nkama motoba. Bakomaki na moluka ya lubwaku ya Besori epai wapi ba-oyo bazalaki kotikala na sima batelemaki;
So David went, he and the six hundred men that were with him, and they came to the torrent Besor: and some being weary stayed there.
10 pamba te mibali nkama mibale balembaki makasi, bongo bakokaki te kokatisa moluka. Kasi Davidi elongo na basoda na ye, nkama minei, bakobaki kolanda.
But David pursued, he and four hundred men: for two hundred stayed, who being weary could not go over the torrent Besor.
11 Basoda ya Davidi bakutanaki na mobali moko ya Ejipito kati na zamba mpe bamemaki ye epai ya Davidi. Bapesaki ye mayi ya komela mpe biloko ya kolia.
And they found an Egyptian in the field, and brought him to David: and they gave him bread to eat, and water to drink,
12 Bapesaki ye gato basala na bambuma ya figi mpe maboke mibale ya bambuma ya vino ekawuka. Sima na ye kolia yango, azwaki lisusu makasi, pamba te aliaki te mpe amelaki te wuta mikolo misato mpe babutu misato.
As also a piece of a cake of figs, and two bunches of raisins. And when he had eaten them his spirit returned, and he was refreshed: for he had not eaten bread, nor drunk water three days, and three nights.
13 Davidi atunaki ye: — Ozali na ngambo ya banani mpe owuti wapi? Azongiselaki ye: — Nazali moto ya Ejipito mpe mowumbu ya moto moko ya Amaleki. Esali mikolo misato wuta nkolo na ngai atikalaki kosundola ngai mpo ete nazalaki kobela.
And David said to him: To whom dost thou belong? or whence dost thou come? and whither art thou going? He said: I am a young man of Egypt, the servant of an Amalecite, and my master left me, because I began to be sick three days ago.
14 Tokotaki na ngambo ya Sude ya bato ya Kereti, ya etuka ya Yuda, mpe na ngambo ya Sude ya Kalebi; mpe totumbaki na moto Tsikilagi.
For we made an invasion on the south side of Cerethi, and upon Juda, and upon the south of Caleb, and we burnt Siceleg with fire.
15 Davidi atunaki ye: — Okoki komema ngai na bisika oyo lisanga ya miyibi wana ezali? Azongisaki: — Yo, lapa nanu ndayi epai na ngai liboso ya Nzambe ete okoboma ngai te mpe okozongisa ngai te epai ya nkolo na ngai; bongo ngai nakomema yo epai bango bazali.
And David said to him: Canst thou bring me to this company? And he said: Swear to me by God, that thou wilt not kill me, nor deliver me into the hands of my master, and I will bring thee to this company. And David swore to him.
16 Boye amemaki Davidi na esika oyo bato ya Amaleki bazalaki. Mpe bamonaki ete bazalaki ya kopanzana na mboka mobimba, bazalaki kolia, komela mpe kobina mpo na ebele ya bomengo ya bitumba oyo babotolaki na mokili ya bato ya Filisitia mpe ya Yuda.
And when he had brought him, behold they were lying spread upon all the ground, eating and drinking, and as it were keeping a festival day, for all the prey, and the spoils which they had taken out of the land of the Philistines, and out of the land of Juda.
17 Davidi alongaki bango kobanda na tongo kino na pokwa ya mokolo oyo elandaki. Moko te abikaki, longola kaka bilenge mibali nkama minei oyo bamataki na likolo ya bashamo mpe bakimaki.
And David slew them from the evening unto the evening of the next day, and there escaped not a man of them, but four hundred young men, who had gotten upon camels, and fled.
18 Davidi akangolaki biloko nyonso oyo bato ya Amaleki bazwaki elongo na basi na ye mibale.
So David recovered all that the Amalecites had taken, and he rescued his two wives.
19 Moto na bango moko te azangaki: ezala elenge, mokolo, mwana mobali, mwana mwasi, eloko moko kati na bomengo ya bitumba to eloko moko kati na biloko oyo babotolaki bango. Davidi azongaki na biloko nyonso.
And there was nothing missing small or great, neither of their sons or their daughters, nor of the spoils, and whatsoever they had taken: David recovered all.
20 Davidi akamataki bameme mpe bangombe nyonso. Bato oyo bazalaki kotambola liboso ya bibwele mpo na kolakisa yango nzela bazalaki koloba: « Tala bomengo ya bitumba ya Davidi. »
And he took all the flocks and the herds, and made them go before him: and they said: This is the prey of David.
21 Bongo Davidi akomaki epai ya mibali nkama mibale oyo bakokaki kolanda ye te mpo ete balembaki makasi, mpe batikaki bango na lubwaku ya Besori. Mibali yango babimaki mpo na koyamba Davidi mpe bato oyo bazalaki elongo na ye. Boye Davidi mpe bato na ye bapusanaki mpe bapesaki bango mbote.
And David came to the two hundred men, who being weary had stayed, and were not able to follow David, and he had ordered them to abide at the torrent Besor: and they came out to meet David, and the people that were with him. And David coming to the people saluted them peaceably.
22 Kasi kati na bato oyo bakendeki elongo na Davidi, bato nyonso ya mabe mpe batomboki balobaki: — Lokola bakendeki na biso te, tokoki kokabola na bango te bomengo ya bitumba. Tika ete moto na moto azwa kaka mwasi na ye elongo na bana na ye mpe akende.
Then all the wicked and unjust men that had gone with David answering, said: Because they came not with us, we will not give them any thing of the prey which we have recovered: but let every man take his wife and his children, and be contented with them, and go his way.
23 Kasi Davidi alobaki: — Te, bandeko na ngai ya mibali! Bokoki kosala boye te mpo na biloko oyo Yawe apesi biso! Pamba te abateli biso mpe akabi na maboko na biso mampinga nyonso oyo eyaki kobundisa biso.
But David said: You shall not do so, my brethren, with these things, which the Lord hath given us, who hath kept us, and hath delivered the robbers that invaded us into our hands.
24 Nani akoki kondima bino na makambo oyo bozali koloba? Eteni ya moto oyo atikalaki kokengela biloko mpe eteni ya moto oyo akendeki na bitumba esengeli kozala ndenge moko. Tokokabola nyonso ndenge moko.
And no man shall hearken to you in this matter. But equal shall be the portion of him that went down to battle and of him that abode at the baggage, and they shall divide alike.
25 Kobanda mokolo wana kino lelo, Davidi akomisaki yango mobeko mpe malako kati na Isalaele.
And this hath been done from that day forward, and since was made a statute, and an ordinance, and as a law in Israel.
26 Tango Davidi akomaki na Tsikilagi, atindaki ndambo ya bomengo ya bitumba epai ya bampaka ya Yuda, oyo bazalaki baninga na ye. Alobaki: « Tala kado mpo na bino kowuta na bomengo ya bitumba ya banguna ya Yawe. »
Then David came to Siceleg, and sent presents of the prey to the ancients of Juda his neighbours, saying: Receive a blessing of the prey of the enemies of the Lord.
27 Atindaki ndambo epai ya ba-oyo bazalaki na Beteli, na ngambo ya sude ya Ramoti mpe na Yatiri;
To them that were in Bethel, and that were in Ramoth to the south, and to them that were in Jether,
28 mpe epai ya ba-oyo bazalaki na Aroeri, na Sipimoti, na Eshitemoa;
And to them that were in Aroer and that were in Sephamoth, and that were in Esthamo,
29 mpe epai ya ba-oyo bazalaki na Rakali, kati na bingumba ya bato ya Yerameeli, ya bato ya Keni;
And that were in Rachal, and that were in the cities of Jerameel, and that were in the cities of Ceni,
30 epai ya ba-oyo bazalaki na Orima, na Bori-Ashani, na Ataki;
And that were in Arama, and that were in the lake Asan, and that were in Athach,
31 epai ya ba-oyo bazalaki na Ebron mpe na bisika nyonso oyo Davidi mpe bato na ye balekaki.
And that were in Hebron, and to the rest that were in those places, in which David had abode with his men.
