2 Samuele 23
1 Tala maloba ya suka ya Davidi: Maloba ya Davidi, mwana mobali ya Izayi, moto oyo atombolama na bokonzi, mopakolami ya Nzambe ya Jakobi, moyembi malamu ya banzembo ya Isalaele:
And these [are] the last words of David. Faithful [is] David the son of Jessae, and faithful the man whom the Lord raised up to be the anointed of the God of Jacob, and beautiful [are] the psalms of Israel.
2 « Molimo na Yawe alobi na nzela na ngai, atie maloba na Ye na monoko na ngai.
The Spirit of the Lord spoke by me, and his word [was] upon my tongue.
3 Nzambe oyo azali Libanga ya Isalaele ayebisi ngai: ‹ Mokonzi oyo akambaka bato kati na bosembo mpe botosi epai ya Nzambe,
The God of Israel says, A watchman out of Israel spoke to me a parable: I said among men, How will ye strengthen the fear of the anointed?
4 azali lokola pole ya tongo, tango moyi ebimaka mpe engalaka makasi lokola nde mapata ezali te, lokola kongenga ya sima na mvula oyo ebimisaka matiti na mokili. ›
And in the morning light of God, let the sun arise in the morning, from the light of which the Lord passed on, and as it were from the rain of the tender grass upon the earth.
5 Ezali bongo te mpo na libota na ngai liboso ya Nzambe, pamba te asalaki boyokani ya libela elongo na ngai, boyokani oyo esalema malamu na makambo nyonso, mpe oyo Ye moko abatelaka? Tango nyonso mpe na makambo nyonso, apesaki ngai elonga mpe akokisaki posa ya motema na ngai.
For my house [is] not so with the Mighty One: for he has made an everlasting covenant with me, ready, guarded at every time; for all my salvation and all my desire [is], that the wicked should not flourish.
6 Kasi bato nyonso ya kilikili bazali lokola nzete ya nzube oyo babwakaka mosika; basimbaka yango te na maboko pamba.
All these [are] as a thorn thrust forth, for they shall not be taken with the hand,
7 Moto oyo alingi kosimba yango asengeli kosalela ebende to libaya ya likonga; batumbaka yango kaka na esika oyo ezali. »
and a man shall not labour among them; and [one shall have] that which is fully armed with iron, and the staff of a spear, an he shall burn them with fire, and they shall be burnt in their shame.
8 Tala bakombo ya basoda ya mpiko ya Davidi: Yoshebi-Bashebeti, moto ya Takimoni: azalaki mokonzi ya limpinga ya basoda misato ya mpiko, abomaki na likonga bato nkama mwambe na etumba moko.
These [are] the names of the mighty men of David: Jebosthe the Chananite is a captain of the third [part]: Adinon the Asonite, he drew his sword against eight hundred soldiers at once.
9 Molandi na ye ezalaki Eleazari, mwana mobali ya Dodo, moto ya Aoyi: azalaki moko kati na limpinga ya basoda misato ya mpiko oyo, elongo na Davidi, babundisaki bato ya Filisitia oyo basanganaki mpo na bitumba, wana bana ya Isalaele bazalaki kokima na likolo ya bangomba.
And after him Eleanan the son of his uncle, son of Dudi who was among the three mighty men with David; and when he defied the Philistines they were gathered there to war, and the men of Israel went up.
10 Kasi ye ayikaki mpiko kati na bitumba mpe abomaki bato ya Filisitia kino alembaki, mpe loboko na ye etikaki mopanga te. Yawe apesaki bango elonga monene na mokolo wana. Mampinga bazongaki epai ya Eleazari kaka mpo na kokamata biloko ya bato oyo bakufaki.
He arose an smote the Philistines, until his hand was weary, and his hand clave to the sword: and the Lord wrought a great salvation in that day, and the people rested behind him only to strip [the slain].
11 Sima na ye, Shama, mwana mobali ya Age, moto ya Arari. Tango bato ya Filisitia basanganaki na Leyi epai wapi ezalaki na elanga moko etonda na misili, basoda ya Isalaele bakimaki liboso na bango.
And after him Samaia the son of Asa the Arachite: and the Philistines were gathered to Theria; and there was there a portion of ground full of lentiles; and the people fled before the Philistines.
12 Kasi Shama atelemaki na kati-kati ya elanga, abundelaki yango mpe abomaki bato ya Filisitia. Yawe apesaki bango elonga monene.
And he stood firm in the midst of the portion, and rescued it, and smote the Philistines; and the Lord wrought a great deliverance.
13 Mokolo moko, na ebandeli ya eleko ya kobuka bambuma, wana basoda ya bato ya Filisitia batongaki molako na bango kati na lubwaku ya Refayimi, basoda misato kati na basoda tuku misato ya mpiko bayaki epai ya Davidi, na ebombamelo ya mabanga ya Adulami.
And three out of the thirty went down, and came to Cason to David, to the cave of Odollam; and [there was] an army of the Philistines, and they encamped in the valley of Raphain.
14 Na tango yango, Davidi azalaki kati na ebombamelo moko batonga makasi, mpe basoda ya Filisitia bazalaki na Beteleemi.
And David [was] then in the strong hold, and the garrison of the Philistines [was] then in Bethleem.
15 Mbala moko, Davidi ayokaki posa ya mayi mpe alobaki: « Nani akomemela ngai mayi ya libulu oyo ezali pene ya ekuke ya Beteleemi mpo ete namela? »
And David longed, and said, Who will give me water to drink out of the well that is in Bethleem by the gate? now the band of the Philistines [was] then in Bethleem.
16 Basoda nyonso misato ya mpiko bakotaki na mayele kati na molako ya bato ya Filisitia, batokaki mayi na libulu oyo ezali pene ya ekuke ya Beteleemi mpe bamemaki yango epai ya Davidi. Kasi Davidi aboyaki komela mayi yango; asopaki yango na mabele lokola likabo ya masanga mpo na Yawe.
And the three mighty men broke through the host of the Philistines, and drew water out of the well that was in Bethleem in the gate: and they took it, and brought it to David, and he would not drink it, but poured it out before the Lord.
17 Alobaki: « Tika ete Yawe apesa ngai etumbu soki nameli mayi oyo, pamba te ezali lokola makila ya bato oyo bandimaki kokende kokufa mpo na ngai. » Boye, Davidi aboyaki komela mayi yango. Yango nde misala ya kokamwa oyo basoda misato ya mpiko basalaki.
And he said, O Lord, forbid that I should do this, that I should drink of the blood of the men who went at [the risk of] their lives: and he would not drink it. These things did these three mighty men.
18 Abishayi, ndeko mobali ya Joabi mpe mwana mobali ya Tseruya, azalaki mokonzi ya basoda misato ya mpiko. Abundisaki bato nkama misato na likonga na ye mpe abomaki bango. Boye, kati na bango misato, ye nde akendeki sango koleka.
And Abessa the brother of Joab the son of Saruia, he [was] chief among the three, and he lifted up his spear against three hundred whom he slew; and he had a name among three.
19 Kati na basoda misato ya mpiko, ye nde azwaki lokumu koleka mpe akomaki mokonzi na bango, kasi akokanaki te na basoda misato ya limpinga ya liboso.
Of those three [he was] most honourable, and he became a chief over them, but he reached not to the [first] three.
20 Benaya, moto ya mboka Kabitseli mpe mwana mobali ya Yeoyada, azalaki soda ya mpiko mpe asalaki makambo ebele ya kokamwa: abomaki bilombe mibale ya Moabi; mpe na mokolo ya mvula ya pembe, akitaki na libulu moko ya mayi mpe abomaki kuna nkosi.
And Banaeas the son of Jodae, he was abundant in [mighty] deeds, from Cabeseel, and he smote the two sons of Ariel of Moab: and he went down and smote a lion in the midst of a pit on a snowy day.
21 Ye mpe moto abomaki mbinga mobali moko ya Ejipito, oyo asimbaki likonga na loboko na ye. Abundisaki moto yango ya Ejipito na lingenda, abotolaki ye likonga oyo azalaki na yango na loboko mpe abomaki ye na likonga na ye moko.
He smote an Egyptian, a wonderful man, and in the hand of the Egyptian [was] a spear as the side of a ladder; and he went down to him with a staff, and snatched the spear from the Egyptian's hand, and slew him with his own spear.
22 Yango nde misala ya kokamwa oyo Benaya, mwana mobali ya Yeoyada, asalaki. Ye mpe akendeki sango kati na basoda misato ya mpiko ya lisanga ya mibale.
These things did Banaeas the son of Jodae, and he had a name among the three mighty men.
23 Kati na basoda tuku misato ya mpiko, ye nde azalaki na lokumu monene koleka, kasi akokanaki te na basoda misato ya mpiko ya limpinga ya liboso. Mpe Davidi akomisaki ye mokonzi ya bakengeli na ye.
He was honourable among the [second] three, but he reached not to the [first] three: and David made him his reporter. And these [are] the names of King David's mighty men.
