2 Samuele 1
1 Wana Saulo asilaki kokufa, Davidi azongaki na Tsikilagi sima na ye kolonga bato ya Amaleki. Mpe avandaki kuna mikolo mibale.
And it came to pass after Saul was dead, that David returned from striking Amalec, and David abode two days in Sekelac.
2 Na mokolo ya misato, moto moko awutaki na molako ya Saulo mpe ayaki na bilamba epasuka, moto etonda na putulu. Tango akomaki epai ya Davidi, amibwakaki na mabele mpo na kogumbama liboso ya Davidi.
And it came to pass on the third day, that, behold, a man came from the camp, from the people of Saul, and his garments were tore, and earth [was] upon his head: and it came to pass when he went in to David, that he fell upon the earth, and did obeisance to him.
3 Davidi atunaki ye: — Owuti wapi? Azongisaki: — Nakimi wuta na molako ya Isalaele.
And David said to him, Whence come you? and he said to him, I have escaped out of the camp of Israel.
4 Davidi atunaki lisusu: — Yebisa ngai makambo nini eleki kuna? Moto yango alobaki: — Mampinga ya Isalaele ekimi bitumba; ebele kati na bango bakweyi na bitumba mpe bakufi, ata Saulo mpe mwana na ye ya mobali, Jonatan, bakufi.
And David said to him, What [is] the matter? tell me. And he said, The people fled out of the battle, and many of the people have fallen and are dead, and Saul and Jonathan his son are dead.
5 Bongo Davidi alobaki na elenge mobali oyo azalaki kopesa ye sango: — Oyebi ndenge nini ete Saulo mpe mwana na ye ya mobali, Jonatan, bakufi?
And David said to the young man who brought him the tidings, How know you that Saul and Jonathan his son are dead?
6 Elenge mobali azongisaki: — Nazalaki na ngai koleka na likolo ya ngomba Giliboa, mpe namonaki Saulo alaleli likonga na ye. Namonaki lisusu bashar mpe basoda oyo babundaka likolo ya bampunda kokoma pene ya kokanga ye.
And the young man that brought the tidings, said to him, I happened accidentally to be upon mount Gelbue; and, behold, Saul was leaning upon his spear, and, behold, the chariots and captains of horse pressed hard upon him.
7 Tango kaka abalukaki mpe amonaki ngai, abengaki ngai; mpe ngai nazongisaki: « Ngai oyo. »
And he looked behind him, and saw me, and called me; and I said, Behold, [here am] I.
8 Atunaki ngai: — Ozali nani? Nazongiselaki ye: — Nazali moto ya Amaleki.
And he said to me, Who are you? and I said, I am an Amalekite.
9 Alobaki na ngai: — Pusana pene na ngai mpe boma ngai, pamba te nazali koyoka lisusu nzoto malamu te, atako nazali nanu na bomoi.
And he said to me, Stand, I pray you, over me, and kill me, for a dreadful darkness has come upon me, for all my life [is] in me.
10 Boye napusanaki pene na ye mpe nabomaki ye, pamba te nayebaki ete akobika te na kotala ndenge babetaki ye. Sima, nazwaki ekoti na ye ya bokonzi, oyo azalaki na yango na moto mpe singa oyo alataki na loboko na ye, mpe namemi yango epai na yo, nkolo na ngai.
So I stood over him and killed him, because I knew he would not live after he was fallen; and I took the crown that was upon his head, and the bracelet that was upon his arm, and I have brought them hither to my lord.
11 Bongo Davidi mpe basoda nyonso oyo bazalaki elongo na ye basimbaki bilamba na bango mpe bapasolaki yango.
And David laid hold of his garments, and tore them; and all the men who were with him tore their garments.
12 Basalaki matanga, balelaki mpe bakilaki bilei kino na pokwa, mpo na Saulo mpe Jonatan, mwana na ye ya mobali; mpo na mampinga ya Yawe mpe mpo na libota ya Isalaele, mpo ete bakufaki na nzela ya mopanga.
And they lamented, and wept, and fasted till evening, for Saul and for Jonathan his son, and for the people of Juda, and for the house of Israel, because they were struck with the sword.
13 Davidi atunaki elenge mobali oyo amemelaki ye sango: — Ozali moto ya mboka nini? Azongisaki: — Nazali mwana mobali ya mopaya moko, moto ya Amaleki.
And David said to the young man who brought the tidings to him, Whence are you? and he said, I am the son of an Amalekite sojourner.
14 Davidi atunaki ye: — Mpo na nini obangaki te kosembola loboko na yo mpo na koboma mopakolami na Yawe?
And David said to him, How was it you were not afraid to lift your hand to destroy the anointed of the Lord?
15 Bongo Davidi abengaki moko kati na basoda na ye mpe alobaki: « Yaka, boma ye! » Mpe soda yango abomaki ye.
And David called one of his young men, and said, Go and fall upon him: and he struck him, and he died.
16 Davidi alobaki na moto oyo amemelaki ye sango: « Tika ete makila na yo etangama na moto na yo moko, pamba te maloba na yo moko nde efundi yo mpo ete olobi: ‹ Nabomaki mopakolami na Yawe. › »
And David said to him, Your blood [be] upon your own head; for your mouth has testified against you, saying, I have slain the anointed of the Lord.
17 Davidi asalaki nzembo oyo ya mawa mpo na Saulo mpe Jonatan, mwana na ye ya mobali.
And David lamented with this lamentation over Saul and over Jonathan his son.
18 Apesaki mitindo ete balakisa yango epai ya bato ya Yuda. Nzembo yango ya mawa ekomama kati na buku ya Moto ya Sembo.
And he gave orders to teach it the sons of Juda: behold, it is written in the book of Right.
19 Oh Isalaele, lokumu na yo ekweyi na likolo ya bangomba na yo. Ndenge nini bilombe bakweyi!
Set up a pillar, O Israel, for the slain that died upon your high places: how are the mighty fallen!
20 Bopanza sango yango te kati na Gati, bopanza yango te na babalabala ya Ashikeloni, noki te bana basi ya bato ya Filisitia bakosepela, mpe bana basi ya mibali oyo bakatama ngenga te bakopumbwa na esengo.
Tell it not in Geth, and tell it not as glad tidings in the streets of Ascalon, lest the daughters of the Philistines rejoice, lest the daughters of the uncircumcised triumph.
21 Oh bangomba ya Giliboa, tika ete mamwe mpe mvula ekweya lisusu te na likolo na bino, ata na likolo ya bilanga oyo ebotaka bambuma mpe epai wapi makabo ewutaka! Pamba te ezali kuna nde basambwisaki banguba ya bilombe, nguba ya Saulo oyo bakotikala kopakola lisusu mafuta te.
You mountains of Gelbue, let not dew no rain descend upon you, nor fields of first fruits [be upon you], for there the shield of the mighty ones has been grievously assailed; the shield of Saul was not anointed with oil.
22 Tolotolo ya Jonatan ezalaki kozonga sima te soki esopi makila ya banguna te, mpe soki etoboli mafuta ya bilombe te; mpe mopanga ya Saulo ezalaki kozonga te soki ekokisi mosala na yango te.
From the blood of the slain, and from the fat of the mighty, the bow of Jonathan returned not empty; and the sword of Saul turned not back empty.
23 Na mikolo ya bomoi na bango, Saulo mpe Jonatan balinganaki makasi mpe bapesanaki lokumu; mpe na kufa na bango, bakabolaki bango te. Bazalaki mbangu koleka bampongo, makasi koleka bankosi.
Saul and Jonathan, the beloved and the beautiful, were not divided: comely [were they] in their life, and in their death they were not divided: [they were] swifter than eagles, and they were stronger than lions.
24 Oh bino bana basi ya Isalaele, bolela mpo na Saulo oyo alatisaki bino bilamba ya motane mpe biloko ya monzele, oyo atondisaki babiju ya wolo na bilamba na bino.
Daughters of Israel, weep for Saul, who clothed you with scarlet together with your adorning, who added golden ornaments to your apparel.
25 Ndenge nini bilombe bakweyi na bitumba! Ndenge nini babomaki Jonatan na bangomba na yo!
How are the mighty fallen in the midst of the battle! O Jonathan, even the slain ones upon your high places!
26 Ah, Jonatan, ndeko na ngai ya mobali, nazali na pasi na motema mpo na yo! Ozalaki motuya mingi mpo na ngai. Bolingo na yo mpo na ngai ezalaki makasi koleka bolingo ya mwasi!
I am grieved for you, my brother Jonathan; you were very lovely to me; your love to me was wonderful beyond the love of women.
27 Ndenge nini bilombe bakweyi! Ah! bibundeli ya bitumba ekomi pamba!
How are the mighty fallen, and the weapons of war perished!
