2 Samuele 3
1 Bitumba kati na libota ya Saulo mpe libota ya Davidi ewumelaki tango molayi. Wana makasi ya Davidi ezalaki komata se komata, makasi ya libota ya Saulo ezalaki kaka kokita.
And there was war for a long time between the house of Saul and the house of David; and the house of David grew continually stronger; but the house of Saul grew continually weaker.
2 Tala bana mibali ya Davidi oyo babotamaki na Ebron: Mwana ya liboso ezalaki Aminoni oyo Ayinoami, moto ya Jizireyeli, abotelaki ye;
And sons were born to David in Chebron: and his firstborn was Ammon the son of Achinoom the Jezraelitess.
3 ya mibale, Kileabi oyo Abigayili oyo akufisaki mobali na ye ya liboso, Nabali, moto ya Karimeli, abotelaki ye; ya misato, Abisalomi oyo Maaka, mwana ya Talimayi, mokonzi ya Geshuri, abotelaki ye;
And his second son [was] Daluia, the son of Abigaia the Carmelitess; and the third, Abessalom the son of Maacha the daughter of Tholmi the king of Gessir.
4 ya minei, Adoniya oyo Agite abotelaki ye; ya mitano, Shefatia oyo Abitali abotelaki ye;
And the fourth [was] Ornia, the son of Aggith, and the fifth [was] Saphatia, the son of Abital.
5 ya motoba, Yitileami oyo Egila, mwasi ya Davidi, abotelaki ye. Bango nde bana mibali ya Davidi oyo babotamaki na Ebron.
And the sixth [was] Jetheraam, the son of Aegal the wife of David. These were born to David in Chebron.
6 Na tango ya bitumba kati na mabota ya Saulo mpe ya Davidi, Abineri azalaki kolendisa nguya na ye kati na ndako ya Saulo.
And it came to pass while there was war between the house of Saul and the house of David, that Abenner was governing the house of Saul.
7 Nzokande, Saulo azalaki na makangu moko; kombo na ye ezalaki « Ritsipa, » mwana mwasi ya Aya. Bongo Ishi-Bosheti alobaki na Abineri: — Mpo na nini osangisi nzoto na makangu ya tata na ngai?
And Saul had a concubine, Respha, the daughter of Jol; and Jebosthe the son of Saul said to Abenner, Why have you gone in to my father's concubine?
8 Tango Abineri ayokaki makambo oyo Ishi-Bosheti alobaki, asilikaki makasi mpe azongisaki: — Boni! Ngai nazali moto ya mbwa na ngambo ya bato ya Yuda? Ngai oyo, na mokolo ya lelo, nazali kosalela bosembo epai ya libota ya Saulo, tata na yo, epai ya bandeko na ye mpe epai ya baninga na ye; ngai oyo nakabaki yo te na maboko ya Davidi, ngai nde sik’oyo ozali kofunda ete nasali mabe na tina na mwasi oyo!
And Abenner was very angry with Jebosthe for this saying; and Abenner said to him, Am I a dog's head? I have this day wrought kindness with the house of Saul your father, and with his brethren and friends, and have not gone over to the house of David, and do you this day seek a charge against me concerning injury to a woman?
9 Tika ete Nzambe apesa ngai Abineri etumbu ya makasi soki nasali te mpo na Davidi makambo oyo Yawe alakaki ye, na nzela ya ndayi,
God do thus and more also to Abenner, if as the Lord swore to David, so do I not to him this day;
10 ete akolongola bokonzi na ndako ya Saulo mpe akotia kiti ya bokonzi ya Davidi kati na Isalaele mpe kati na Yuda, longwa na Dani kino na Beri-Sheba.
to take away the kingdom from the house of Saul, and to raise up the throne of David over Israel and over Juda from Dan to Bersabee.
11 Ishi-Bosheti akokaki kozongisa ata liloba moko te epai ya Abineri, pamba te azalaki kobanga ye.
And Jebosthe could not any longer answer Abenner a word, because he feared him.
12 Abineri atindaki bantoma koloba na Davidi: — Mokili oyo ezali ya nani? Sala boyokani elongo na ngai, bongo ngai nakosunga yo mpo na kosangisa Isalaele mobimba epai na yo.
And Abenner sent messengers to David to Thaelam where he was, immediately, saying, Make your covenant with me, and, behold, my hand [is] with you to bring back to you all the house of Israel.
13 Davidi azongisaki: — Malamu! Nandimi kosala boyokani elongo na yo, kasi nasengi yo eloko moko: koya liboso na ngai te soki otindeli ngai nanu te Mikali, mwana mwasi ya Saulo, tango okoya kokutana na ngai.
And David said, With a good will I will make with you a covenant: only I demand one condition of you, saying, You shall not see my face, unless you bring Melchol the daughter of Saul, when you come to see my face.
14 Bongo Davidi atindaki bantoma koloba na Ishi-Bosheti, mwana mobali ya Saulo: — Pesa ngai mwasi na ngai, Mikali, oyo nabalaki ngai moko na motuya ya bangenga nkama moko ya bato ya Filisitia.
And David sent messengers to Jebosthe the son of Saul, saying, Restore me my wife Melchol, whom I took for a hundred foreskins of the Philistines.
15 Boye Ishi-Bosheti atindaki bato kozwa Mikali epai ya mobali na ye, Palitieli, mwana mobali ya Laishi.
And Jebosthe sent, and took her from her husband, [even] from Phaltiel the son of Selle.
16 Mobali na ye alandaki ye na kolela kino na Bawurimi. Kasi Abineri alobaki na mobali yango: — Zonga na ndako na yo. Mpe mobali azongaki.
And her husband went with her weeping behind her as far as Barakim. And Abenner said to him, Go, return; and he returned.
17 Abineri asololaki na bampaka ya Isalaele mpe alobaki na bango: — Lokola wuta kala bolingaka ete Davidi akoma mokonzi na bino,
And Abenner spoke to the elders of Israel, saying, In former days you sought David to reign over you;
18 bosala yango sik’oyo; pamba te Yawe alobaki boye na tina na ye: « Ezali na nzela ya Davidi, mosali na ngai, nde nakobikisa bato na Ngai, Isalaele, na maboko ya bato ya Filisitia mpe ya banguna na bango nyonso. »
and now perform [it]: for the Lord has spoken concerning David, saying, By the hand of my servant David I will save Israel out of the hand of all their enemies.
19 Sima na Abineri koloba likambo yango epai ya bato ya libota ya Benjame, akendeki na Ebron mpo na koyebisa Davidi makambo nyonso oyo bato ya Isalaele mpe libota mobimba ya Benjame babongisaki.
And Abenner spoke in the ears of Benjamin: and Abenner went to speak in the ears of David at Chebron, all that seemed good in the eyes of Israel and in the eyes of the house of Benjamin.
20 Mpe tango Abineri elongo na bato na ye, tuku mibale, bakomaki epai ya Davidi, na Ebron, Davidi asaliselaki bango feti.
And Abenner came to David to Chebron, and with him twenty men: and David made for Abenner and his men with him a banquet of wine.
21 Abineri alobaki na Davidi: — Na ndingisa na yo mokonzi, nkolo na ngai, nalingi kokende sik’oyo kosangisela yo bato nyonso ya Isalaele mpo ete basala boyokani elongo na yo; mpe na bongo, yo okokonza na bisika nyonso oyo olingi. Davidi atikaki Abineri kokende, mpe Abineri azongaki na kimia.
And Abenner said to David, I will arise now, and go, and gather to my lord the king all Israel; and I will make with him a covenant, and you shall reign over all whom your soul desires. And David sent away Abenner, and he departed in peace.
22 Sima na mwa tango, basali ya Davidi mpe Joabi bazongaki wuta na bitumba mpe bamemaki bomengo ebele ya bitumba. Abineri azalaki lisusu na Ebron te, epai ya Davidi, pamba te Davidi asilaki kotika ye kokende, mpe azongaki na kimia.
And, behold, the servants of David and Joab arrived from their expedition, and they brought much spoil with them: and Abenner was not with David in Chebron, because he had sent him away, and he had departed in peace.
23 Tango kaka Joabi mpe basoda na ye nyonso bakomaki, bayebisaki Joabi: — Abineri, mwana mobali ya Neri, ayaki epai ya mokonzi; bongo mokonzi atikaki ye kokende, mpe azongaki na kimia.
And Joab and all his army came, and it was reported to Joab, saying, Abenner the son of Ner is come to David, and David has let him go, and he has departed in peace.
24 Joabi akendeki komona mokonzi mpe alobaki na ye: — Eloko nini oyo osali? Mpo na nini otikaki penza Abineri oyo ayaki epai na yo kokende? Mpe tala sik’oyo, akei!
And Joab went in to the king, and said, What [is] this [that] you have done? behold, Abenner came to you; and why have you let him go, and he has departed in peace?
25 Nzokande oyebi malamu Abineri, mwana mobali ya Neri! Soki ayaki epai na yo, ezalaki nde mpo na kokosa yo, mpo na kononga mpe koluka koyeba bisika nyonso oyo otambolaka mpe makambo nyonso oyo osalaka.
Know you not the mischief of Abenner the son of Ner, that he came to deceive you, and to know your going out and your coming in, and to know all things that you do?
26 Sima na Joabi kowuta na ndako ya Davidi, atindaki bantoma mpo ete balanda mpe bakanga Abineri. Mpe wana Davidi ayebaki te, bantoma bazongisaki Abineri wuta na libulu ya mayi ya Sira.
And Joab returned from David, and sent messengers to Abenner after [him]; and they bring him back from the well of Seiram: but David knew [it] not.
27 Tango Abineri azongaki lisusu na Ebron, Joabi abendaki ye na pembeni, na kati-kati ya ekuke ya engumba lokola nde alingi kosolola na ye na nkuku. Mpe kuna, mpo na kozongisa mabe na mabe na tina na makila ya ndeko na ye ya mobali Asaeli, Joabi atubaki Abineri mbeli na libumu, mpe Abineri akufaki.
And he brought back Abenner to Chebron, and Joab caused him to turn aside from the gate to speak to him, laying wait for him: and he struck him there in the loins, and he died for the blood of Asael the brother of Joab.
28 Sima na yango, tango kaka Davidi ayokaki sango ya makambo oyo ewutaki kosalema, alobaki: — Na miso ya Yawe, ngai mpe bokonzi na ngai tozali na ngambo te mpo na libela na tina na makila ya Abineri, mwana mobali ya Neri.
And David heard [of it] afterwards, and said, I and my kingdom are guiltless before the Lord even for ever of the blood of Abenner the son of Ner.
29 Tika ete makila na ye etangama na moto ya Joabi mpe ya libota na ye mobimba! Tika ete ndako ya Joabi ezangaka te bato oyo bakobela bokono ya sopisi to bokono ya maba to bato oyo bakotambola na banzete to bato oyo bakokufa na mopanga to bato oyo bakozanga bilei.
Let it fall upon the head of Joab, and upon all the house of his father; and let there not be lacking of the house of Joab one that has an issue, or a leper, or that leans on a staff, or that falls by the sword, or that wants bread.
30 Joabi mpe ndeko na ye ya mobali, Abishayi, babomaki Abineri mpo ete abomaki Asaeli, ndeko na bango ya mobali, na bitumba ya Gabaoni.
For Joab and Abessa his brother laid wait continually for Abenner, because he killed Asael their brother at Gabaon in the battle.
31 Bongo Davidi alobaki na Joabi mpe na bato nyonso oyo bazalaki elongo na ye: — Bopasola bilamba na bino mpe bolata basaki, bosala matanga liboso ya Abineri. Ye moko mokonzi Davidi atambolaki na sima ya ebembe.
And David said to Joab and to all the people with him, Rend your garments, and gird yourselves with sackcloth, and lament before Abenner. And king David followed the bier.
32 Bakundaki Abineri, na Ebron, mpe mokonzi alelaki makasi na likolo ya kunda ya Abineri. Bato nyonso mpe balelaki.
And they bury Abenner in Chebron: and the king lifted up his voice, and wept at his tomb, and all the people wept for Abenner.
33 Bongo mokonzi ayembaki nzembo oyo ya mawa mpo na Abineri: « Esengelaki ete Abineri akufa penza lokola zoba?
And the king mourned over Abenner, and said, Shall Abenner die according to the death of Nabal?
34 Bakangaki te maboko na yo na basinga, bakangaki te makolo na yo na basheni. Kasi okweyi ndenge bakweyaka liboso ya babomi. » Mpe bato nyonso balelaki ye lisusu makasi
Your hands were not bound, and your feet [were] not [put] in fetters: [one] brought [you] not near as Nabal; you did fall before children of iniquity.
35 mpe basengaki na Davidi ete alia wana moyi ezali nanu. Kasi Davidi alapaki ndayi na maloba oyo: « Tika ete Nzambe apesa ngai etumbu oyo eleki makasi soki nameki kolia mapa to eloko mosusu liboso ete moyi elala! »
And all the people assembled to weep for him. And all the people came to cause David to eat bread while it was yet day: and David swore, saying, God do so to me, and more also, if I eat bread or any thing else before the sun goes down.
36 Bato nyonso bayokaki ndayi yango mpe basepelaki na yango: bazalaki kosepela na makambo nyonso oyo mokonzi azalaki kosala.
And all the people took notice, and all things that the king did before the people were pleasing in their sight.
37 Mpe na mokolo wana, basoda nyonso ya Isalaele mpe Isalaele mobimba bandimaki ete mokonzi ayebaki ata likambo moko te na tina na kufa ya Abineri, mwana mobali ya Neri.
So all the people and all Israel perceived in that day, that it was not of the king to kill Abenner the son of Ner.
38 Mokonzi alobaki na basali na ye: « Boni, boyebi na bino ete mokambi moko mpe moto moko ya monene akweyi lelo kati na Isalaele?
And the king said to his servants, Know you not that a great prince is this day fallen in Israel?
39 Na mokolo ya lelo, atako bapakola ngai mafuta lokola mokonzi, nazali na makasi te, mpe bana mibali oyo ya Tseruya baleki ngai na makasi. Tika ete Yawe apesa etumbu na moto oyo asali mabe oyo kolanda mabe na ye! »
And that I am this day a [mere] kinsman [of his], and [as it were] a subject; but these men the sons of Saruia are too hard for me: the Lord reward the evil-doer according to his wickedness.
