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 when David was passed a little beyond the top [of the mount], behold, Ziba the servant of Mephibosheth came toward him, with a couple of asses saddled, and upon them two hundred loaves of bread, and a hundred bunches of raisins, and a hundred [cakes] of dried figs, and a 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 unto Ziba, What meanest thou with these? And Ziba said, The asses are for the king's household to ride on; and the bread and the dried figs for the young men to eat; and the wine to drink for such as may be faint in the wilderness.
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 thy master's son? And Ziba said unto the king, Behold, he remaineth at Jerusalem; for he said, Today will the house of Israel restore unto 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!
Then said the king to Ziba, Behold, thine shall be all that pertaineth unto Mephibosheth. And Ziba said, I prostrate myself; let me but find grace in thy eyes, my Lord, O king.
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 when King David came as far as Bachurim, behold, there came out thence a man of the family of the house of Saul, whose name was Shim'i, the son of Gera, coming forth, and cursing.
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 he cast stones at David, and at all the servants of king David: and all the people and all the mighty men were on his right and on his left.
7 Shimei azalaki koloba boye wana azalaki kolakela Davidi mabe: « Bima, bima, mobomi bato, moto pamba.
And thus said Shim'i as he cursed, Away, away, thou man of blood, and thou worthless man!
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 hath brought back upon thee all the blood of the house of Saul, in whose stead thou didst reign; and the Lord hath placed the kingdom into the hand of Abshalom thy son; and, behold, thou art now in thy misfortune, because a man of blood art thou.
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.
Then said Abishai the son of Zeruyah unto the king, Why should this dead dog curse my Lord the king? let me go over, I pray thee, and remove 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 Zeruyah? so let him curse; because the Lord hath said unto him, Curse David. Who shall then say, Wherefore hast thou done so?
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 Abishai, and to all his servants, Behold, my son, who hath come forth out of my own body, seeketh my life: how much more now this Benjamite? let him alone, and let him curse; for the Lord hath said it to him.
12 Tango mosusu Yawe akomona pasi na ngai, bongo akobongola na bolamu bilakeli mabe oyo ezali kokweyela ngai lelo. »
Perhaps the Lord will look on my affliction, and the Lord will requite me good instead of 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 his men went [thus] on the way. And Shim'i went on the side of the mount opposite to him, and cursed as he went, and threw stones toward him, and cast dust.
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 that were with him, arrived weary, 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 Abshalom, and all the people the men of Israel, came to Jerusalem, and Achithophel [also] 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 Chushai the Arkite, David's friend, was come unto Abshalom, that Chushai said unto Abshalom, Long live the king! Long live the king!
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 Abshalom said to Chushai, Is this thy kindness for thy friend? why art thou not gone with thy friend?
18 Ushayi alobaki na Abisalomi: — Te, ngai nakozala elongo na moto oyo Yawe, bato oyo mpe Isalaele nyonso baponi.
And Chushai said unto Abshalom, No; but whom the Lord, and this people, and all the men of Israel have chosen, his will I be, and with him will I remain.
19 Mpe ngai nakosalela nani? Ezali te mwana na ye ya mobali? Ndenge nasalelaki tata na yo, ndenge wana mpe nakosalela yo.
And secondly, who is it whom I shall serve? is it not in the presence of his son? as I have served in thy father's presence, so will I be in thy presence.
20 Abisalomi alobaki na Ayitofeli: — Pesa biso toli na yo: tosengeli kosala nini?
Then said Abshalom to Achithophel, Hold counsel among yourselves as to what we shall 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 Achithophel said unto Abshalom, Go in unto thy father's concubines, whom he hath left to guard the house; and all Israel will hear that thou art in bad odor with thy father: and then will the hands of all that are with thee become strong.
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.
So they spread for Abshalom a tent upon the roof; and Abshalom went in unto his father's concubines before the eyes 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 Achithophel, which he counseled in those days, was as if a man had asked advice of the word of God: so was all the counsel of Achithophel both with David and with Abshalom.
