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. Thus saith David the son of Jesse, and thus saith the man who was raised up on high, the anointed of the God of Jacob, and the sweet singer 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 through 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,
[Thus] said the God of Israel, concerning me spoke the Rock of Israel, That [I should be] ruler over men, be righteous, ruling in the fear of God;
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 as in the light of morning the sun riseth, in a morning without clouds, with more than the brightness [reflected] by rain on the herbs that spring from 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.
Truly is not so my house with God? since he hath made with me an everlasting covenant, firm in all, and sure? yea, will he not cause to grow all my salvation, and all my desire?
6 Kasi bato nyonso ya kilikili bazali lokola nzete ya nzube oyo babwakaka mosika; basimbaka yango te na maboko pamba.
But the godless are all of them as waving thorns, which cannot be taken in the hand;
7 Moto oyo alingi kosimba yango asengeli kosalela ebende to libaya ya likonga; batumbaka yango kaka na esika oyo ezali. »
But the man that will touch them must protect his hand with iron and the staff of a spear: and they will be utterly burnt with fire in the dwelling.
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 whom David had: Yosheb-bashebeth, the Thachkemonite, the chief among the captains, —the same as 'Adino the 'Eznite, —because of eight hundred slain at one time.
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 was El'azar the son of Dodo, the son of Achochi, one of the three mighty men with David, when they defied the Philistines that were there gathered together to battle, and the men of Israel had withdrawn themselves;
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 then arose, and smote the Philistines until his hand was weary, and his hand did cleave unto the sword: and the Lord wrought a great victory on that day; and the people returned after 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 was Shammah the son of Age the Hararite. The Philistines were gathered together into a troop, and there was a piece of ground full of lentiles; and the people had fled from the Philistines;
12 Kasi Shama atelemaki na kati-kati ya elanga, abundelaki yango mpe abomaki bato ya Filisitia. Yawe apesaki bango elonga monene.
But he placed himself in the midst of the ground, and delivered it, and smote the Philistines: and the Lord wrought a great victory.
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 these three, the chiefs of the thirty, went down, and came to David at harvest-time unto the cave of 'Adullam: and the troop of the Philistines was encamped in the valley of Rephaim.
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 an outpost of the Philistines was then in Beth-lechem.
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, Oh that one would bring me water to drink out of the well at Beth-lechem, which is by the gate!
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 camp of the Philistines; and drew water out of the well of Beth-lechem, that was by the gate, and took it, and brought it to David; but he would not drink thereof, and poured it out unto 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, Far be it from me, O Lord, that I should do this: [is not this] the blood of the men that went at the risk of their life? and thus he would not drink it. These things did the 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 Abishai, the brother of Joab, the son of Zeruyah, was the chief of these three; and he lifted up his spear against three hundred slain, and had a name among the 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.
Although he was the most honored of the three, wherefore he became their captain: he nevertheless attained not unto the three [in prowess].
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 Benayahu the son of Yehoyada', the son of a valiant man, great in many acts of Kabzeel; he it was that smote the two lion-like heroes of Moab; he also went down and slew a lion in the midst of a pit on a day when it snowed;
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.
And he slew an Egyptian, a man of good appearance; and the Egyptian had a spear in his hand; but he went down to him with a staff, and he snatched the spear out of 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 Benayahu the son of Yehoyada', 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 more honored than the thirty; but he attained not to these three. And David appointed him in his private council.
24 Kati na lisanga ya bato tuku misato, ezalaki mpe na: Asaeli, ndeko mobali ya Joabi; Elanani, mwana mobali ya Dodo, moto ya Beteleemi;
