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 for three years successively: and David consulted the oracle of the Lord. And the Lord said: It is for Saul, and his bloody house, because he slew 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.
Then the king, calling for the Gabaonites, said to them: (Now the Gabaonites were not of the children of Israel, but the remains of the Amorrhites: I and the children of Israel had sworn to them, and Saul sought to slay them out of zeal, as it were 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?
David therefore said to the Gabaonites: What shall I do for you? and what shall be the atonement for you, 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 contest about silver and gold, but against Saul and against his house: neither do we desire that any man be slain of Israel. And the king said to them: What will you then that I should do for you?
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 they said to the king: The man that crushed us and oppressed us unjustly, we must destroy in such manner that there be not so much as one left of his stock 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 seven men of his children be delivered unto us, that we may crucify them to the Lord in Gabaa of Saul, once the chosen of 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.
And the king spared Miphiboseth the son of Jonathan the son of Saul, because of the oath of the Lord, that had been 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;
So the king took the two sons of Respha the daughter of Aia, whom she bore to Saul, Armoni, and Miphiboseth: and the five sons of Michol the daughter of Saul, whom she bore to Hadriel the son of Berzellai, that was of Molathi:
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 gave them into the hands of the Gabaonites: and they crucified them on a hill before the Lord: and these seven died together in the first days of the harvest, when the barley began to be reaped.
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 haircloth, and spread it under her upon the rock from the beginning of the harvest, till water dropped upon them out of heaven: and suffered neither the birds to tear them by day, nor the beasts 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.
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 Jabes Galaad, who had stolen them from the street of Bethsan, where the Philistines had hanged them when they had slain Saul in Gelboe.
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 brought from thence the bones of Saul, and the bones of Jonathan his son, and they gathered up the bones of them that were crucified,
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 them with the bones of Saul, and of Jonathan his son in the land of Benjamin, in the side, in the sepulchre of Cis his father: and they did all that the king had commanded, and God shewed mercy again to the land after these things.
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 the Philistines made war again against Israel, and David went down, and his servants with him, and fought against the Philistines. And David growing faint,
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.
Jesbibenob, who was of the race of Arapha, the iron of whose spear weighed three hundred ounces, being girded with a new sword, attempted to kill 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 Abisai the son of Sarvia rescued him, and striking the Philistine killed him. Then David’s men swore unto him, saying: Thou shalt go no more out with us to battle, lest thou put out 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.
There was also a second battle in Gob against the Philistines: then Sobochai of Husathi slew Saph of the race of Arapha of the family of the giants.
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 third battle in Gob against the Philistines, in which Adeodatus the son of the Forrest an embroiderer of Bethlehem slew Goliath the Gethite, the shaft of whose spear was like 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.
A fourth battle was in Geth. where there was a man of great stature, that had six fingers on each hand, and six toes on each foot, four and twenty in all, and he was of the race of Arapha.
21 Atiolaki Isalaele; mpe Jonatan, mwana mobali ya Shimea mpe ndeko mobali ya Davidi, abomaki ye.
And he reproached Israel: and Jonathan the son of Samae the brother of David slew 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 of Arapha in Geth, and they fell by the hand of David, and of his servants.
