2 Samuele 21
1 Tango Davidi azalaki mokonzi, nzala makasi ekotaki mpe esalaki mibu misato. Davidi atunaki Yawe, mpe Yawe alobaki na ye: « Ezali mpo na Saulo mpe libota na ye oyo esopaki makila, pamba te babomaki bato ya Gabaoni. »
And there was a famine in the days of David three years, year after year; and David sought the face of the Lord. And the Lord said, [There is] guilt upon Saul and his house because of his bloody murder, whereby he killed the Gabaonites.
2 Mokonzi abengisaki bato ya Gabaoni mpo na kosolola na bango. Nzokande bato ya Gabaoni bazalaki kotangama te kati na bato ya Isalaele, kasi bakanganaki na batikali kati na bato ya Amori; bongo bato ya Isalaele bakanganaki na bato ya Amori, na nzela ya ndayi, mpo na kotika bango na bomoi. Kasi Saulo, na bolingo na ye oyo eleka ndelo mpo na Isalaele mpe Yuda, alukaki kosilisa koboma bango.
And King David called the Gabaonites, and said to them; —(now the Gabaonites are not the children of Israel, but [are] of the remnant of the Amorite, and the children of Israel had sworn to them: but Saul sought to strike them in his zeal for the children of Israel and Juda.)
3 Davidi atunaki bato ya Gabaoni: — Eloko nini nakoki kosala mpo na bino? Na mabe oyo basalaki bino, ndenge nini nakoki kobongisa makambo mpo ete bopambola libula na Yawe?
And David said to the Gabaonites, What shall I do to you? and wherewithal shall I make atonement, that you may bless the inheritance of the Lord?
4 Bato ya Gabaoni bazongiselaki ye: — Mpo na kobongisa makambo na biso elongo na Saulo mpe libota na ye, tozali na posa te ya palata to ya wolo; tokoki mpe te koboma ata moto moko kati na Isalaele. Davidi atunaki lisusu: — Bolingi ete ngai nasala nini mpo na bino?
And the Gabaonites said to him, We have no [question about] silver or gold with Saul and with his house; and there is no man for us to put to death in Israel.
5 Bazongiselaki mokonzi: — Lokola tata wana alingaki kosilisa koboma biso mpe asalaki mabongisi ya kobebisa biso mpo ete tolimwa kati na mokili mobimba ya Isalaele,
And he said, What say you? speak, and I will do it for you. And they said to the king, The man who would have made an end of us, and persecuted us, who plotted against us to destroy us, let us utterly destroy him, so that he shall have no standing in all the coasts of Israel.
6 tika ete mokonzi akaba na maboko na biso mibali sambo kati na bakitani ya Saulo mpo ete todiembika banzoto na bango liboso ya Yawe, na Gibea, engumba ya Saulo, moponami na Yawe. Mokonzi alobaki: — Nakopesa bino bango.
Let one give us seven men of his sons, and let us hang them up in the sun to the Lord in Gabaon of Saul, as chosen out for the Lord. And the king said, I will give [them].
7 Mokonzi atikaki na bomoi Mefibosheti, mwana mobali ya Jonatan, mwana mobali ya Saulo, mpo na boyokani oyo ezalaki kati na bango mibale, Davidi mpe Jonatan, mwana mobali ya Saulo, tango Davidi alapaki ndayi na Kombo na Yawe.
But the king spared Memphibosthe son of Jonathan the son of Saul, because of the oath of the Lord that was between them, even between David and Jonathan the son of Saul.
8 Kasi mokonzi akangaki Arimoni mpe Mefibosheti, bana mibali oyo Ritsipa, mwana mwasi ya Aya, abotelaki Saulo; akangaki lisusu bana mibali mitano oyo Mikali, mwana mwasi ya Saulo, abotelaki Adriyeli, mwana mobali ya Barizilayi, moto ya Meola;
And the king took the two sons of Respha the daughter of Aia, whom she bore to Saul, Hermonoi and Memphibosthe, and the five sons of Michol daughter of Saul, whom she bore to Esdriel son of Berzelli the Moulathite.
9 akabaki bango na maboko ya bato ya Gabaoni. Bongo bato ya Gabaoni babomaki bango mpe badiembikaki banzoto na bango na ngomba liboso ya Yawe. Bango nyonso sambo bakufaki elongo. Babomaki bango na mikolo ya liboso ya tango ya kobuka bambuma, kaka na ebandeli ya tango oyo babukaki bambuma ya orje.
And he gave them into the hand of the Gabaonites, and they hanged them up to the sun in the mountain before the lord: and they fell, even the seven together: moreover they were put to death in the days of harvest at the commencement, in the beginning of barley harvest.
10 Bongo Ritsipa, mwana mwasi ya Aya, alongolaki elamba ya saki oyo alataki mpe atandaki yango na libanga; avandaki wana, wuta na ebandeli ya tango ya kobuka bambuma ya orje kino na eleko oyo mvula enokelaki bibembe. Na moyi, apekisaki bandeke ya likolo kokita na likolo ya bibembe yango; mpe na butu, abenganaki banyama ya zamba.
And Respha the daughter of Aia took sackcloth, and fixed it for herself on the rock in the beginning of barley harvest, until water dropped upon them out of heaven: and she did not suffer the birds of the air to rest upon them by day, nor the beasts of the field by night.
11 Davidi ayokaki makambo oyo Ritsipa, mwana mwasi ya Aya, makangu ya Saulo, asalaki.
And it was told David what Respha the daughter of Aia the concubine of Saul had done, [and they were faint, and Dan, the son of Joa of the offspring of the giants overtook them.]
12 Bongo Davidi akendeki kozwa mikuwa ya Saulo mpe ya Jonatan, mwana na ye ya mobali, epai ya bakambi ya Yabeshi ya Galadi, oyo bayibaki yango na libanda ya Beti-Sheani epai wapi bato ya Filisitia badiembikaki yango mokolo oyo babomaki Saulo, na Giliboa.
And David went and took the bones of Saul, and the bones of Jonathan his son, from the men of the sons of Jabis Galaad, who stole them from the street of Baethsan; for the Philistines set them there in the day in which the Philistines struck Saul in Gelbue.
13 Wuta kuna, Davidi amemaki mikuwa ya Saulo mpe ya Jonatan, mwana na ye ya mobali; asangisaki mpe mikuwa ya bato sambo oyo babomaki mpe badiembikaki.
And he carried up thence the bones of Saul and the bones of Jonathan his son, and gathered the bones of them that had been hanged.
14 Bakundaki mikuwa ya Saulo mpe ya mwana na ye ya mobali, Jonatan, kati na kunda ya Kishi, tata ya Saulo, na Tsela kati na etuka ya Benjame. Basalaki makambo nyonso oyo mokonzi atindaki. Sima na yango, Nzambe ayanolaki losambo mpo na mokili ya Isalaele.
And they buried the bones of Saul and the bones of Jonathan his son, and the bones of them that had been hanged, in the land of Benjamin in the hill, in the sepulchre of Cis his father; and they did all things that the king commanded: and after this God listened to [the prayers of] the land.
15 Bitumba ezalaki lisusu kati ya bato ya Filisitia mpe bato ya Isalaele. Davidi akitaki elongo na basoda na ye mpo na kobundisa bato ya Filisitia; mpe Davidi alembaki.
And there was yet war between the Philistines and Israel: and David went down and his servants with him, and they fought with the Philistines, and David went.
16 Yishibi-Benobi, mokitani ya Rafa, azalaki na mopanga ya sika, likonga oyo songe na yango ezalaki ya bronze mpe ezalaki ya bakilo koleka misato; mpe abetaki tolo ete akoboma Davidi.
And Jesbi, who was of the progeny of Rapha, and the head of whose spear [was] three hundred shekels of brass in weight, who also was girded with a club, even he thought to strike David.
17 Kasi Abishayi, mwana mobali ya Tseruya, ayaki kosunga Davidi, abetaki moto ya Filisitia mpe abomaki ye. Boye bato ya Davidi bakataki seleka epai ya mokonzi, balobaki: « Okobima lisusu te elongo na biso na bitumba mpo ete mwinda ya Isalaele ekufa te. »
And Abessa the son of Saruia helped him and struck the Philistine, and killed him. Then the men of David swore, saying, You shall not any longer go out with us to battle, and you shall not quench the lamp of Israel.
18 Sima na mwa tango, ezalaki lisusu na bitumba na bato ya Filisitia, kuna na mboka Gobi. Ezalaki na tango yango nde Sibekayi, moto ya Usha, abomaki Safi, moko kati na bakitani ya Rafa.
And after this there was a battle again with the Philistines in Geth: then Sebocha the Astatothite killed Seph of the progeny of Rapha.
19 Ezalaki lisusu na bitumba na bato ya Filisitia, kuna na Gobi; mpe Elanani, mwana mobali ya Yare-Oregimi, moto ya Beteleemi, abomaki Goliati, moto ya Gati, oyo nzete ya likonga na ye ezalaki monene lokola libaya oyo basali bilamba na maboko basalelaka.
And there was a battle in Rom with the Philistines; and Eleanan son of Ariorgim the Bethleemite killed Goliath the Gittite; and the staff of his spear [was] as a weaver's beam.
20 Ezalaki lisusu na bitumba oyo esalemaki kuna na Gati; mpe ezalaki kuna na mbinga mobali moko, mokitani ya Rafa, oyo azalaki na misapi motoba na loboko moko na moko, mpe misapi motoba na lokolo moko na moko. Na kosangisa, azalaki na misapi tuku mibale na minei.
And there was yet a battle in Geth: and there was a man of stature, and the fingers of his hands and the toes of his feet [were] six on each, four and twenty in number: and he also was born to Rapha.
21 Atiolaki Isalaele; mpe Jonatan, mwana mobali ya Shimea mpe ndeko mobali ya Davidi, abomaki ye.
And he defied Israel, and Jonathan son of Semei brother of David, struck him.
22 Bango minei bazalaki bakitani ya Rafa, babotama na Gati mpe bakufaki liboso ya Davidi mpe ya basoda na ye.
These four were born descendants of the giants in Geth, the family of Rapha; and they fell by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants.
