2 Samuele 10
1 Sima na mwa tango, mokonzi ya bato ya Amoni akufaki, mpe mwana na ye ya mobali, Anuni, akitanaki na ye na bokonzi.
It happened after this, that the king of the people of Ammon died, and Hanun his son reigned in his place.
2 Davidi amilobelaki: « Nakotalisa bolamu epai ya Anuni, mwana mobali ya Naashi, ndenge kaka tata na ye atalisaki ngai bolamu. » Boye Davidi atindaki bato mpo na kobondisa ye na tina na kufa ya tata na ye. Tango basali ya Davidi bakomaki na mokili ya bato ya Amoni,
David said, "I will show kindness to Hanun the son of Nahash, as his father showed kindness to me." So David sent by his servants to comfort him concerning his father. David's servants came into the land of the people of Ammon.
3 bakambi ya bato ya Amoni balobaki na Anuni, mokonzi na bango: « Okanisi ete ezali mpo na kopesa tata na yo lokumu nde Davidi atindi bato mpo na kobondisa yo? Ezali mpo na kononga engumba mpe kobebisa yango nde Davidi atindi bango epai na yo? »
But the leaders of the people of Ammon said to Hanun their lord, "Do you think that David honors your father, in that he has sent comforters to you? Hasn't David sent his servants to you to search the city, and to spy it out, and to overthrow it?"
4 Boye, Anuni akangaki basali ya Davidi, akataki bango kati-kati ya mandefu, akataki bango bilamba kino na loketo mpe abenganaki bango.
So Hanun took David's servants and shaved off their beards, and cut off their garments in the middle, even to their buttocks, and sent them away.
5 Tango bayebisaki Davidi likambo yango, atindaki bato mosusu mpo na kokende kokutana na bato wana, pamba te basambwisaki bango makasi. Mokonzi atindelaki bango maloba oyo: « Bovanda na Jeriko kino mandefu na bino ekobota lisusu, sima nde bokozonga. »
When David was told, he sent to meet them; for the men were greatly ashamed. The king said, "Wait at Jericho until your beards have grown, and then return."
6 Tango bato ya Amoni basosolaki ete bamikomisi bato mabe na miso ya Davidi, bakotisaki bato ya sika na mosala ya soda, oyo bakobanda kobunda bitumba na makolo: epai ya bato ya Siri ya Beti-Reobi mpe ya Tsoba, bato nkoto tuku mibale; epai ya mokonzi ya Maaka, bato nkoto moko; epai ya mokonzi ya Tobi, bato nkoto zomi na mibale.
When the people of Ammon saw that they were become odious to David, the people of Ammon sent and hired the Arameans of Beth Rehob, and the Arameans of Zobah, twenty thousand footmen, and the king of Maacah with one thousand men, and the men of Tob twelve thousand men.
7 Tango kaka Davidi ayokaki bongo, atindaki Joabi elongo na mampinga nyonso ya basoda ya mpiko.
When David heard of it, he sent Joab, and all the army of the mighty men.
8 Bato ya Amoni babimaki mpe batandamaki na milongo mpo na bitumba, na ekuke ya engumba mokonzi na bango. Na tango wana, bato ya Siri ya Tsoba mpe ya Reobi elongo na basoda ya Tobi mpe Maaka bazalaki na esika mosusu, kati na zamba.
The people of Ammon came out, and put the battle in array at the entrance of the gate: and the Arameans of Zobah and of Rehob, and the men of Tob and Maacah, were by themselves in the field.
9 Tango Joabi amonaki ete milongo ya bitumba ezali na liboso mpe na sima na ye, aponaki basoda ya Isalaele oyo baleki na mpiko, mpe atiaki bango na milongo mpo na kobundisa bato ya Siri.
Now when Joab saw that the battle was set against him before and behind, he chose of all the choice men of Israel, and put them in array against the Arameans:
10 Atiaki basoda oyo batikalaki na se ya bokonzi ya ndeko na ye ya mobali, Abishayi; mpe atandaki bango na milongo ya bitumba mpo na kobundisa bato ya Amoni.
The rest of the people he committed into the hand of Abishai his brother; and he put them in array against the people of Ammon.
11 Joabi alobaki: « Soki bato ya Siri baleki ngai na makasi, yo okoya kosunga ngai; kasi soki bato ya Amoni baleki yo na makasi, wana ngai nakoya kosunga yo.
He said, "If the Arameans are too strong for me, then you shall help me; but if the people of Ammon are too strong for you, then I will come and help you.
12 Yika mpiko, mpe tobunda lokola bilombe mpo na bato na biso mpe mpo na bingumba ya Nzambe na biso. Tika ete Yawe asala oyo ezali malamu na miso na Ye. »
Be courageous, and let us be strong for our people, and for the cities of our God; and the LORD do that which seems good to him."
13 Bongo Joabi mpe basoda oyo bazalaki elongo na ye bapusanaki mpo na kobundisa bato ya Siri; mpe bato yango ya Siri bakimaki liboso na ye.
So Joab and the people who were with him drew near to the battle against the Arameans: and they fled before him.
14 Tango bato ya Amoni bamonaki bato ya Siri kokima, bango mpe bakimaki liboso ya Abishayi mpe bazongaki kati na engumba. Bongo, sima na Joabi kowuta kobundisa bato ya Amoni, azongaki na Yelusalemi.
When the people of Ammon saw that the Arameans had fled, they likewise fled before Abishai, and entered into the city. Then Joab returned from the people of Ammon, and came to Jerusalem.
15 Tango bato ya Siri bamonaki ete Isalaele alongi bango, basanganaki.
When the Arameans saw that they were defeated by the children of Israel, they gathered themselves together.
16 Adadezeri atindaki bantoma kobenga bato ya Siri oyo bazalaki na ngambo mosusu ya ebale. Mpe bayaki na Elami. Tsobaki, mokonzi ya mampinga ya Adadezeri, azalaki liboso na bango.
Hadadezer sent, and brought out the Arameans who were beyond the River: and they came to Helam, with Shobach the captain of the army of Hadadezer at their head.
17 Tango Davidi azwaki sango yango, asangisaki bato nyonso ya Isalaele, akatisaki Yordani mpe akomaki na Elami. Bato ya Siri basalaki milongo liboso ya Davidi mpe babundisaki ye.
It was told David; and he gathered all Israel together, and passed over the Jordan, and came to Helam. The Arameans set themselves in array against David, and fought with him,
18 Kasi bato ya Siri bakimaki liboso ya Isalaele, mpe Davidi abomaki bampunda nkama sambo oyo ezalaki komema bashar mpe basoda nkoto tuku minei oyo babundaka bitumba na likolo ya bampunda. Davidi abetaki mpe Tsobaki, mokonzi na bango ya mampinga, mpe akufaki wana.
but fled before Israel; and David killed of the Arameans seven hundred charioteers, and forty thousand foot soldiers, and struck Shobach the commander of their army, and he died there.
19 Tango bakonzi nyonso oyo bazalaki na se ya bokonzi ya Adadezeri bamonaki ete Isalaele alongi bango, basalaki kimia elongo na bato ya Isalaele mpe bakomaki kosalela Isalaele. Bongo bato ya Siri bakomaki kobanga kosunga bato ya Amoni.
When all the vassals of Hadadezer saw that they were defeated before Israel, they made peace with Israel, and served them. So the Arameans were afraid to give further aid to the Ammonites.
