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 came to be a famine, in the days of David, for three years, year after year, so then David sought the face of Yahweh, —and Yahweh said—It respecteth Saul and his house, as to bloodshed, in that he put to death 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.
The king therefore called the Gibeonites, and said unto them (now, the Gibeonites, were, not of the sons of Israel, but of the remnant of the Amorites, with whom, the sons of Israel, had entered into an oath, and Saul had sought to smite them, in his jealousy for the sons 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?
wherefore David said unto the Gibeonites—What shall I do for you, and wherewith shall I make propitiation, so that ye may bless the inheritance of Yahweh?
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 Gibeonites said unto him—It is not a matter with us of silver or gold, with Saul or with his house, neither would we have a man put to death in Israel. And he said, —What do ye say 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,
Then said they unto the king, The man who consumed us, and who thought to have destroyed us from taking a place within any of the bounds 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 there be delivered up to us—seven men of his sons, and we will crucify them unto Yahweh in Gibeah of Saul, the chosen of Yahweh. And the king said, I, will deliver them up.
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 had pity upon Mephibosheth, son of Jonathan, Saul’s son, —because of the oath of Yahweh that was between them, between David and Jonathan, Saul’s son.
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 Rizpah daughter of Aiah, whom she had borne to Saul, even Armoni and Mephibosheth, —and the five sons of Michal daughter of Saul, whom she had borne to Adriel 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 delivered them up into the hand of the Gibeonites, and they crucified them in the mountain, before Yahweh, so they seven fell together, —they being put to death in the first days of harvest, in the beginning of the 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.
Then Rizpah daughter of Aiah, took sackcloth, and spread it out for herself, on the rock, from the beginning of harvest, until water poured out upon them from the heavens, —and suffered neither the birds of the heavens to rest on them by day, nor the wild beasts of the field, [to devour them] by night.
11 Davidi ayokaki makambo oyo Ritsipa, mwana mwasi ya Aya, makangu ya Saulo, asalaki.
And it was told David, —what Rizpah daughter of Aiah, Saul’s concubine, 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.
So David went and fetched the bones of Saul, and the bones of Jonathan his son, from the owners of Jabesh-gilead, —who stole them from the broadway of Beth-shan, where the Philistines had hanged them, on the day when the Philistines had smitten Saul in 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 thence the bones of Saul, and the bones of Jonathan his son, —and they gathered together the bones of them who had been 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.
so they buried the bones of Saul and Jonathan his son in the land of Benjamin, in Zelah, in the grave of Kish his father, thus did they all that the king commanded, —and God suffered himself to be entreated for the land, after this.
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 had yet again a war with Israel, —so David went down, and his servants with him, and fought the Philistines, and David became 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.
So, Ishbi-benob, who was of the descendants of the giant, the weight of whose spear-head, was three hundred shekels of bronze, he also being newly armed, thought to smite 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 son of Zeruiah, came to his help, and smote the Philistine, and slew him. Then, sware the men of David unto him, saying—Thou must not go forth any more with us, to battle, that thou quench not 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 it came to pass, after this, that there was yet again a battle in Gob, with the Philistines, —then, Sibbekai the Hushathite smote Saph, who was of the descendants of the giant.
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 yet again a battle in Gob with the Philistines, —when Elhanan son of Jaare-oregim of Bethlehem, smote Goliath the Gittite, 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.
And there was yet again a battle in Gath; when there was a man of stature, with six fingers on each hand, and six toes on each foot, twenty-four in number; he also, having been born to the giant;
21 Atiolaki Isalaele; mpe Jonatan, mwana mobali ya Shimea mpe ndeko mobali ya Davidi, abomaki ye.
but, when he reproached Israel, Jonathan son of Shimeah David’s brother, smote, him.
22 Bango minei bazalaki bakitani ya Rafa, babotama na Gati mpe bakufaki liboso ya Davidi mpe ya basoda na ye.
These four, had been born to the giant in Gath, —but they fell by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants.
