2 Samuele 16
1 Tango Davidi alekaki mwa moke songe ya ngomba, Tsiba, mobombi bozwi ya Mefibosheti, azalaki kozela mpo na kokutana na ye; azalaki na ba-ane mibale oyo babongisi mpo na mobembo mpe ememaki mapa nkama mibale, maboke nkama moko ya bambuma ya vino ekawuka, maboke nkama moko ya bambuma ya figi mpe mbeki moko ya masanga ya vino.
And David passed on a little way from Ros; and, behold, Siba the servant of Memphibosthe [came] to meet him; and he had a couple of asses laden, and upon them two hundred loaves, and a hundred [bunches of] raisins, and a hundred [cakes of] dates, and bottle of wine.
2 Mokonzi atunaki Tsiba: — Mpo na nini omemi biloko oyo? Tsiba azongisaki: — Ba-ane ezali mpo na libota ya mokonzi mpo ete batambola na yango, mapa mpe bambuma ezali mpo na bato mpo ete balia, mpe masanga ya vino ezali mpo na kopesa makasi epai ya bato oyo bakolemba na esobe.
And the king said to Siba, What meanest thou by these? and Siba, said, The asses [are] for the household of the king to sit upon, and the loaves and the dates [are] for the young men to eat, and the wine [is] for them that are faint in the wilderness to drink.
3 Bongo mokonzi atunaki lisusu: — Wapi Mefibosheti, koko ya nkolo na yo? Tsiba azongisaki: — Atikalaki na Yelusalemi, pamba te amilobelaki: « Lelo, libota ya Isalaele ekozongisa bokonzi ya koko na ngai na maboko na ngai. »
And the king said, And where [is] the son of thy master? and Siba said to the king, Behold, he remains in Jerusalem; for he said, To-day shall the house of Israel restore to me the kingdom of my father.
4 Mokonzi alobaki na Tsiba: — Nyonso oyo ezali ya Mefibosheti ekomi sik’oyo ya yo. Tsiba alobaki: — Nagumbami liboso na yo mokonzi, nkolo na ngai! Tika ete nazwa ngolu na miso na yo!
And the king said to Siba, Behold, all Memphibosthe's property [is] thine. And Siba did obeisance and said, My lord, O king, let me find grace in thine eyes.
5 Wana mokonzi akomaki pembeni ya Bawurimi, ezalaki na moto moko oyo azalaki kobima wuta na mboka; kombo na ye ezalaki « Shimei, » mpe azalaki mwana mobali ya Gera. Azalaki moto ya etuka mpe libota moko na Saulo. Bongo wana azalaki kobima, azalaki mpe kolakela Davidi mabe.
And king David came to Baurim; and, behold, there came out from thence a man of the family of the house of Saul, and his name [was] Semei the son of Gera. He came forth and cursed as he went,
6 Azalaki kobamba Davidi mpe basali na ye mabanga atako bato nyonso mpe basoda oyo bakengelaka mokonzi bazalaki na ngambo ya loboko ya mwasi mpe na ngambo ya loboko ya mobali ya Davidi.
and cast stones at David, and at all the servants of king David: and all the people and all the mighty men were on the right and left hand of the king.
7 Shimei azalaki koloba boye wana azalaki kolakela Davidi mabe: « Bima, bima, mobomi bato, moto pamba.
And thus Semei said when he cursed him, Go out, go out, thou bloody man, and man of sin.
8 Yawe atangi na moto na yo, makila nyonso ya ndako ya Saulo, oyo osopaki mpo ete okoma mokonzi na esika na ye. Yawe akabi bokonzi na maboko ya Abisalomi, mwana na yo ya mobali. Osili kokweya na pasi mpo ete ozali mosopi makila. »
The Lord has returned upon thee all the blood of the house of Saul, because thou hast reigned in his stead; and the Lord has given the kingdom into the hand of Abessalom thy son: and, behold, thou [art taken] in thy mischief, because thou [art] a bloody man.
9 Abishayi, mwana mobali ya Tseruya, alobaki na mokonzi: — Mpo na nini mbwa oyo ekufa ezali kolakela nkolo na ngai mabe. Pesa ngai nzela mpo ete nakende kokata ye moto.
And Abessa the son of Saruia said to the king, Why does this dead dog curse my lord the king? let me go over now and take off his head.
10 Kasi mokonzi alobaki: — Bino bana mibali ya Tseruya, yo Abishayi mpe ndeko na yo, Joabi, likambo nini kati na ngai mpe bino? Soki azali kolakela ngai mabe, ezali nde na ndingisa ya Yawe mpo ete alobi na ye: « Lakela Davidi mabe. » Nani sik’oyo akoki kotuna: « Mpo na nini ozali kosala bongo? »
And the king said, What have I to do with you, ye sons of Saruia? even let him alone, and so let him curse, for the Lord has told him to curse David: and who shall say, Why hast thou done thus?
11 Bongo Davidi alobaki na Abishayi mpe na basali na ye nyonso: « Soki kutu mwana na ngai moko ya mobali oyo abimi na nzoto na ngai azali koluka koboma ngai, bongo ndenge nini moto oyo ya Benjame asala bongo te! Tika ye alakela ngai mabe, pamba te ezali Yawe nde alobi na ye bongo.
And David said to Abessa and to all his servants, Behold, my son who came forth out of my bowels seeks my life; still more now may the son of Benjamin: let him curse, because the Lord has told him.
12 Tango mosusu Yawe akomona pasi na ngai, bongo akobongola na bolamu bilakeli mabe oyo ezali kokweyela ngai lelo. »
If by any means the Lord may look on my affliction, thus shall he return me good for his cursing this day.
13 Boye, wana Davidi mpe bato na ye bakobaki nzela na bango, Shimei azalaki kotambola na mopanzi mosusu ya ngomba pembeni ya Davidi, azalaki kokoba kolakela Davidi mabe tango azalaki kotambola, kobamba ye mabanga mpe kobwakela ye putulu.
And David and all the men with him went on the way: and Semei went by the side of the hill next to him, cursing as he went, and casting stones at him, and sprinkling him with dirt.
14 Mokonzi elongo na bato na ye nyonso balembaki tango bakomaki na esika oyo bazalaki kokende mpe bapemaki kuna.
And the king, and all the people with him, came away and refreshed themselves there.
15 Kaka na tango yango, Abisalomi mpe bato nyonso ya Isalaele bakomaki na Yelusalemi, mpe Ayitofeli azalaki elongo na ye.
And Abessalom and all the men of Israel went into Jerusalem, and Achitophel with him.
16 Ushayi, moto ya Ariki, moninga ya Davidi, akendeki epai ya Abisalomi mpe alobaki na ye: — Tika ete mokonzi owumela na bomoi! Tika ete mokonzi owumela na bomoi!
And it came to pass when Chusi the chief friend of David came to Abessalom, that Chusi said to Abessalom, Let the king live.
17 Abisalomi atunaki Ushayi: — Oyo nde bolingo nyonso oyo ozali kolakisa epai ya moninga na yo? Mpo na nini okendeki te elongo na moninga na yo?
And Abessalom said to Chusi, [Is] this thy kindness to thy friend? why wentest thou not forth with thy friend?
18 Ushayi alobaki na Abisalomi: — Te, ngai nakozala elongo na moto oyo Yawe, bato oyo mpe Isalaele nyonso baponi.
And Chusi said to Abessalom, Nay, but following whom the Lord, and this people, and all Israel have chosen, —his will I be, and with him I will dwell.
19 Mpe ngai nakosalela nani? Ezali te mwana na ye ya mobali? Ndenge nasalelaki tata na yo, ndenge wana mpe nakosalela yo.
And again, whom shall I serve? should I not in the presence of his son? As I served in the sight of thy father, so will I be in thy presence.
20 Abisalomi alobaki na Ayitofeli: — Pesa biso toli na yo: tosengeli kosala nini?
And Abessalom said to Achitophel, Deliberate among yourselves concerning what we should do.
21 Ayitofeli azongiselaki Abisalomi: — Kende kosangisa nzoto na bamakangu ya tata na yo, oyo batikalaki mpo na kobatela ndako, bongo Isalaele mobimba ekoyoka ete omikomisi nkele na miso ya tata na yo. Na bongo, maboko ya bato oyo bazali sima na yo ekolendisama.
And Achitophel said to Abessalom, Go in to thy father's concubines, whom he left to keep his house; and all Israel shall hear that thou hast dishonoured thy father; and the hands of all that are with thee shall be strengthened.
22 Boye basalelaki Abisalomi ndako ya kapo na likolo ya ndako, mpe asangisaki nzoto na bamakangu ya tata na ye na miso ya Isalaele mobimba.
And they pitched a tent for Abessalom on the roof, and Abessalom went in to his father's concubines in the sight of all Israel.
23 Nzokande, na tango wana, toli oyo Ayitofeli abandaki kopesa ezalaki lokola maloba ya moto oyo azali kotuna mayele epai ya Ye moko Nzambe. Ezalaki ndenge wana nde Davidi mpe Abisalomi bazalaki komona batoli ya Ayitofeli.
And the counsel of Achitophel, which he counselled in former days, [was] as if one should enquire of the word of God: so [was] all the counsel of Achitophel both to David and also to Abessalom.
