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. »
Now there was a famine in the days of David for three consecutive years, so David sought the face of the LORD. And the LORD said, "There is bloodguilt on Saul and on his house, because he murdered the Gibeonites."
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.
So the king summoned the Gibeonites, and spoke to them. (Now the Gibeonites were not of the children of Israel but of the remnant of the Amorites. And the children of Israel had sworn to them, but Saul sought to exterminate them in his zeal for the children of Israel and Judah.)
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 Gibeonites, "What can I do for you? And how can 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?
The Gibeonites said to him, "It is not a matter of silver or gold between us and Saul or his house, nor is it our place to put anyone to death in Israel." Then he said, "What do you want? For I will do it 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,
So they said to the king, "The man who opposed us and persecuted us, who meant to eradicate us from having a place anywhere in the territory 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 of his sons be delivered to us, and we will hang them before the LORD at Gibeon on the mountain of the LORD." And the king replied, "I will do it."
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 Mippibaal, the son of Jonathan, the son of Saul, because of the LORD's oath that was between them, 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;
But the king took the two sons of Rizpah the daughter of Aiah, whom she bore to Saul, Armoni and Mippibaal; and the five sons of Merob the daughter of Saul, whom she bore to Adriel the son of Barzillai the Meholathite.
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 delivered them into the hands of the Gibeonites, and they hanged them on the mountain before the LORD, and all seven of them fell together. And they were put to death in the first days of harvest at 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 Rizpah the daughter of Aiah took sackcloth and spread it for herself on a rock, from the beginning of harvest until it rained on them from the sky. And she did not allow the birds of the sky to rest on them by day, nor the wild animals by night.
11 Davidi ayokaki makambo oyo Ritsipa, mwana mwasi ya Aya, makangu ya Saulo, asalaki.
It was told David what Rizpah the daughter of Aiah, the secondary wife 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.
Then David went and obtained the bones of Saul and the bones of his son Jonathan from the citizens of Jabesh Gilead, who had stolen them from the public square of Beth Shan, where the Philistines had hung them on the day that the Philistines killed Saul on Gilboa;
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 up from there the bones of Saul and the bones of Jonathan his son. And they gathered the bones of those who were 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 he buried the bones of Saul and Jonathan in the land of Benjamin in Zela, in the tomb of Kish his father. And they performed all that the king commanded. After that God responded to prayers for 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.
The Philistines had war again with Israel; and David went down, and his servants with him, and fought against the Philistines. Now David became exhausted,
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 Dodo son of Joash, of the descendants of the Raphah, captured him. His spear weighed three hundred bronze shekels, and he was girded with a new sword, and he thought he could 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. »
But Abishai the son of Zeruiah helped him and struck the Philistine, and killed him. Then the men of David took an oath, saying, "You must not go out to battle with us again, so that you do not extinguish 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.
Now it came to pass after this that there was another battle with the Philistines at Gezer. Then Sibbekai the Hushathite killed Saph, a descendant of the Raphah.
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.
There was again war with the Philistines at Gob; and Elhanan the son of Jair the Bethlehemite killed the brother of Goliath the Gittite, the staff 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.
There was another battle at Gath, where there was a man of great stature who had on six fingers on each hand, and six toes on each foot, twenty four in number, and he also was a descendant of Raphah.
21 Atiolaki Isalaele; mpe Jonatan, mwana mobali ya Shimea mpe ndeko mobali ya Davidi, abomaki ye.
When he defied Israel, Jonathan the son of Shimeah, David's brother, killed him.
22 Bango minei bazalaki bakitani ya Rafa, babotama na Gati mpe bakufaki liboso ya Davidi mpe ya basoda na ye.
These four were descendants of Raphah in Gath; and they fell by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants.
