2 Samuele 20

1 Moto moko ya mobulu na kombo Sheba, mwana mobali ya Bikiri, moto ya ekolo ya Benjame, abetaki kelelo mpe agangaki: « Tozali na eteni ata moko te ya lisanga na Davidi, tozali ata na eloko moko te ya lisanga na mwana mobali ya Izayi. Isalaele, tika ete moto moko na moko azonga na ndako na ye ya kapo. »

Then there was come thither a wicked man (named Sheba the sonne of Bichri, a man of Iemini) and hee blew the trumpet, and saide, Wee haue no part in Dauid, neither haue we inheritance in the sonne of Ishai: euery man to his tents, O Israel.

2 Bato nyonso ya Isalaele bakimaki Davidi mpo na kolanda Sheba, mwana mobali ya Bikiri. Kasi bato ya Yuda batikalaki pembeni ya mokonzi na bango, na nzela mobimba, longwa na Yordani kino na Yelusalemi.

So euery man of Israel went from Dauid and followed Sheba the sonne of Bichri: but the men of Iudah claue fast vnto their King, from Iorden euen to Ierusalem.

3 Tango mokonzi Davidi azongaki na ndako na ye, na Yelusalemi, azwaki bamakangu na ye zomi oyo atikaki mpo na kokengela ndako, mpe atiaki bango kati na ndako moko oyo bazalaki kokengela malamu. Atako azalaki kosunga bango, kasi akendeki te kosangisa na bango nzoto. Bazalaki kokengela bango kino na mokolo na bango ya kufa, mpe bazalaki lokola basi bakufisa mibali.

When Dauid then came to his house to Ierusalem, the King tooke the ten women his concubines, that hee had left behinde him to keepe the house, and put them in warde, and fed them, but lay no more with them: but they were enclosed vnto the day of their death, liuing in widowhode.

4 Mokonzi alobaki na Amasa: « Bengela ngai bato nyonso ya Yuda na mikolo misato, yo moko mpe zala awa. »

Then sayde the King to Amasa, Assemble me the men of Iudah within three dayes, and be thou here present.

5 Kasi tango Amasa akendeki kobenga bato ya Yuda, azwaki tango molayi koleka oyo mokonzi apesaki ye.

So Amasa went to assemble Iudah, but hee taried longer then the time which he had appoynted him.

6 Davidi ayebisaki Abishayi: « Sheba, mwana mobali ya Bikiri, akomonisa biso pasi mingi koleka Abisalomi. Kamata basali ya mokonzi mpe landa ye, noki te akomona bingumba batonga makasi mpe akokima biso. »

Then Dauid sayd to Abishai, Now shall Sheba the sonne of Bichri doe vs more harme then did Absalom: take thou therefore thy lords seruants and follow after him, lest he get him walled cities, and escape vs.

7 Boye na bokambami ya Abishayi, bato ya Joabi, bato ya Kereti, bato ya Peleti mpe basoda nyonso ya mpiko, babimaki na Yelusalemi mpo na kolanda Sheba, mwana mobali ya Bikiri.

And there went out after him Ioabs men, and the Cherethites and the Pelethites, and all the mightie men: and they departed out of Ierusalem, to follow after Sheba the sonne of Bichri.

8 Tango bakomaki na libanga monene kati na Gabaoni, Amasa ayaki kokutana na bango. Joabi alataki bilamba na ye ya basoda: na loketo na ye, alataki mokaba oyo kati na yango atiaki mopanga oyo ezalaki kati na ebombelo na yango na loketo. Bongo tango abandaki kopusana, mopanga yango ekweyaki.

When they were at the great stone, which is in Gibeon, Amasa went before them, and Ioabs garment, that hee had put on, was girded vnto him, and vpon it was a sword girded, which hanged on his loynes in the sheath, and as hee went, it vsed to fall out.

9 Joabi alobaki na Amasa: « Boni ndeko na ngai ya mobali, ozali malamu? » Bongo Joabi asalelaki loboko na ye ya mobali mpo na kosimba Amasa na mandefu mpe kopesa ye beze.

And Ioab sayde to Amasa, Art thou in health, my brother? and Ioab tooke Amasa by the beard with the right hand to kisse him.

10 Amasa azalaki na bokebi te mpo na kotala mopanga oyo ezalaki na loboko ya mwasi ya Joabi. Bongo Joabi atobolaki ye libumu, mpe misopo na ye nyonso epanzanaki kino na se; mpe Amasa akufaki mbala moko. Joabi azalaki te na tina na kotuba ye mopanga na mbala ya mibale. Boye Joabi mpe ndeko na ye ya mobali, Abishayi, balandaki Sheba, mwana mobali ya Bikiri.

But Amasa tooke no heede to the sworde that was in Ioabs hande: for therewith he smote him in the fift rib, and shed out his bowels to the ground, and smote him not the second time: so he dyed. then Ioab and Abishai his brother followed after Sheba the sonne of Bichri.

11 Moto moko kati na bato ya Joabi atelemaki pembeni ya Amasa mpe alobaki: « Tika ete bato nyonso oyo bazali mpo na Joabi mpe mpo na Davidi balanda Joabi! »

And one of Ioabs men stoode by him, and saide, He that fauoureth Ioab, and hee that is of Dauids part, let him go after Ioab.

12 Nzokande, wana Amasa azalaki kobaluka kati na makila na ye na kati-kati ya nzela, moto yango amonaki ete mampinga nyonso bayaki kotelema wana. Boye abendaki Amasa libanda ya nzela, atandaki ye kati na elanga mpe afinikaki ye elamba.

And Amasa wallowed in blood in the mids of the way: and when the man sawe that all the people stood still, he remooued Amasa out of the way into the fielde, and cast a cloth vpon him, because he saw that euery one that came by him, stoode still.

13 Sima na ye kolongola Amasa na nzela, bato nyonso bakendeki elongo na Joabi mpo na kolanda Sheba, mwana mobali ya Bikiri.

When hee was remoued out of the way, euerie man went after Ioab, to follow after Sheba the sonne of Bichri.

14 Mpo na kokoma na Abele-Beti-Maaka, Sheba akatisaki bikolo nyonso ya Isalaele mpe etuka mobimba ya bato ya Berimi oyo mpe basanganaki mpe balandaki Joabi.

And he went through all the tribes of Israel vnto Abel, and Bethmaachah and all places of Berim: and they gathered together, and went also after him.

15 Joabi elongo na mampinga na ye nyonso bazingelaki Sheba kati na Abele-Beti-Maaka mpe batongaki na libanda ya engumba mwa ngomba oyo ekomaki na molayi ya mir. Tango bazalaki kotimola mabele mpo na koluka kokweyisa mir,

So they came, and besieged him in Abel, neere to Bethmaachah: and they cast vp a mount against the citie, and the people thereof stood on the ramper, and al the people that was with Ioab, destroyed and cast downe the wall.

16 mwasi moko ya bwanya agangaki wuta na engumba: « Boyoka! Boyoka! Boyebisa Joabi ete aya awa mpo ete naloba na ye. »

Then cried a wise woman out of the citie, Heare, heare, I pray you, say vnto Ioab, Come thou hither, that I may speake with thee.

17 Joabi apusanaki pene na ye, mpe mwasi yango atunaki ye: — Yo nde Joabi? Azongisaki: — Iyo, ezali ngai. Mwasi alobaki: — Yoka makambo oyo mwasi mosali na yo azali koloba. Joabi azongisaki: — Nazali koyoka.

And when hee came neere vnto her, the woman said, Art thou Ioab? And he answered, Yea. And she said to him, Heare the wordes of thine handmaid. And he answered, I do heare.

18 Mwasi yango akobaki koloba: — Na kala, bazalaki na ezaleli ya koloba: « Botuna mayele na mboka Abele, » mpe likambo esili.

Then shee spake thus, They spake in the olde time, saying, They shoulde aske of Abel. and so haue they continued.

19 Tozali bato ya kimia mpe ya sembo kati na Isalaele. Kasi yo ozali koluka koboma engumba oyo ezali mama kati na Isalaele! Mpo na nini olingi kobebisa libula ya Yawe?

I am one of them, that are peaceable and faithful in Israel: and thou goest about to destroy a citie, and a mother in Israel: why wilt thou deuoure the inheritance of the Lord?

20 Joabi azongisaki: — Mosika na ngai! Mosika na ngai likanisi ya kobebisa to koboma!

And Ioab answered, and said, God forbid, God forbid it me, that I should deuoure, or destroy it.

21 Ezali bongo te. Kasi Sheba, mwana mobali ya Bikiri, moto ya etuka ya bangomba ya Efrayimi, atombokelaki mokonzi Davidi. Kaba ye, ye moko kaka, mpe nakotika kozingela engumba. Mwasi yango alobaki na Joabi: — Bakobwakela yo moto na ye na likolo ya mir.

The matter is not so, but a man of mout Ephraim (Sheba ye sonne of Bichri by name) hath lift vp his had against ye King, euen against Dauid: deliuer vs him onely, and I will depart from the citie. And the woman saide vnto Ioab, Beholde, his head shalbe throwen to thee ouer the wall.

22 Bongo mwasi akendeki epai ya bato nyonso mpe ayebisaki bango maloba na ye ya bwanya. Boye bakataki moto ya Sheba, mwana mobali ya Bikiri, mpe babwakelaki yango Joabi. Bongo Joabi abetaki kelelo, mpe bato na ye bapanzanaki liboso ya engumba; moto na moto azongaki na ndako na ye. Joabi mpe azongaki na Yelusalemi epai ya mokonzi.

Then the woman went vnto all the people with her wisedome, and they cut off the head of Sheba the sonne of Bichri, and cast it to Ioab: the he blewe the trumpet, and they retired from the citie, euery man to his tent: and Ioab returned to Ierusalem vnto the King.

23 Joabi azalaki kokamba mampinga nyonso ya Isalaele; Benaya, mwana mobali ya Yeoyada, azalaki kokamba bato ya Kereti mpe bato ya Peleti.

Then Ioab was ouer all the hoste of Israel, and Benaiah the sonne of Iehoiada ouer the Cherethites and ouer the Pelethies,

24 Adorami azalaki kokamba misala makasi; Jozafati, mwana mobali ya Ayiludi, azalaki mobombi mikanda;

And Adoram ouer the tribute, and Ioshaphat the sonne of Ahilud the recorder,

25 Sheva azalaki mokomi mikanda; Tsadoki mpe Abiatari bazalaki Banganga-Nzambe;

And Sheia was Scribe, and Zadok and Abiathar the Priests,

26 mpe Ira, moto ya Yairi, azalaki Nganga-Nzambe ya Davidi.

And also Ira the Iairite was chiefe about Dauid.
