2 Samuele 4
1 Tango Ishi-Bosheti, mwana mobali ya Saulo, ayokaki ete Abineri akufi na Ebron, alembaki nzoto, mpe bato nyonso ya Isalaele bakomaki na somo makasi.
And Jebosthe the son of Saul heard that Abenner the son of Ner had died in Chebron; and his hands were paralysed, and all the men of Israel grew faint.
2 Nzokande mwana mobali ya Saulo azalaki na bato mibale oyo bazalaki bakonzi ya mampinga: moko, kombo na ye ezalaki « Baana; » mpe mosusu, « Rekabi. » Bazalaki bana mibali ya Rimoni, moto ya Beyeroti, kati na bato ya ekolo ya Benjame. Beyeroti ezalaki eteni ya mabele ya Benjame,
And Jebosthe the son of Saul had two men that were captains of bands: the name of the one [was] Baana, and the name of the other Rechab, sons of Remmon the Berothite of the children of Benjamin; for Beroth was reckoned to the children of Benjamin.
3 pamba te bato ya Beyeroti bakimelaki na Gitayimi mpe bavandaki kuna lokola bapaya kino na mokolo ya lelo.
And the Berothites ran away to Gethaim, and were sojourners there until this day.
4 Jonatan, mwana mobali ya Saulo, azalaki na mwana mobali moko oyo azalaki na mbeba na makolo nyonso mibale. Wana azalaki nanu na mibu mitano ya mbotama, sango kowuta na Jizireyeli na tina na Saulo mpe Jonatan ekomaki. Boye mama mobokoli na ye akamataki ye mpo na kokima. Kasi lokola akimaki na lombangu, mwana akweyaki mpe akomaki na mbeba na makolo nyonso mibale. Kombo na ye ezalaki « Mefibosheti. »
And Jonathan Saul's son [had] a son lame of his feet, five years old, and he was [in the way] when the news of Saul and Jonathan his son came from Jezrael, and his nurse took him up, and fled; and it came to pass as he hasted and retreated, that he fell, and was lamed. And his name [was] Memphibosthe.
5 Rekabi mpe Baana, bana mibali ya Rimoni, moto ya Beyeroti, bakendeki na ndako ya Ishi-Bosheti mpe bakomaki kuna na ngonga ya midi, wana azalaki kolala mpo na kopema.
And Rechab and Baana the sons of Remmon the Berothite went, and they came in the heat of the day into the house of Jebosthe; and he was sleeping on a bed at noon.
6 Bakotaki kati na ndako lokola nde bakei kozwa ble, wana Ishi-Bosheti azalaki ya kolala na mbeto na ye kati na shambre, batubaki ye mbeli na libumu, babomaki ye mpe bakataki ye moto; bongo bazwaki moto yango, bakimaki mpe batambolaki na yango butu mobimba na nzela oyo ekenda na etando ya Araba. Rekabi mpe Baana, ndeko na ye ya mobali, bakimaki.
And, behold, the porter of the house winnowed wheat, and he slumbered and slept: and the brothers Rechab and Baana went privily into the house:
And Jebosthe was sleeping on his bed in his chamber: and they strike him, and kill him, and take off his head: and they took his head, and went all the night by the western road.
8 Bamemaki moto ya Ishi-Bosheti epai ya Davidi, na Ebron, mpe balobaki na mokonzi: — Tala moto ya Ishi-Bosheti, mwana mobali ya Saulo, monguna na yo, oyo alukaki koboma yo. Na mokolo ya lelo, Yawe azongisi mpo na mokonzi, nkolo na ngai, mabe na mabe epai ya Saulo mpe bakitani na ye.
And they brought the head of Jebosthe to David to Chebron, and they said to the king, Behold the head of Jebosthe the son of Saul your enemy, who sought your life; and the Lord has executed for my lord the king vengeance on his enemies, as [it is] this day: even on Saul your enemy, and on his seed.
9 Davidi azongiselaki Rekabi mpe Baana, ndeko na ye ya mobali, bana mibali ya Rimoni, moto ya Beyeroti: — Na Kombo na Yawe oyo akangoli ngai na pasi nyonso
And David answered and Rechab and Baana his brother, the sons of Remmon the Berothite, and said to them, [As] the Lord lives, who has redeemed my soul out of all affliction;
10 tango moto moko ayebisaki ngai ete Saulo akufi, wana akanisaki ete amemeli ngai sango malamu. Nakangaki ye mpe nabomaki ye, na Tsikilagi. Ezalaki lifuti oyo napesaki ye mpo na sango na ye.
he that reported to me that Saul was dead, even he was as one bringing glad tidings before me: but I seized him and killed him in Sekelac, to whom I ought, [as he thought], to have given a reward for his tidings.
11 Bongo sik’oyo, tango bato mabe babomi moto oyo ayebi na ye likambo te kati na ndako na ye moko mpe na mbeto na ye moko, nasengeli te kosenga makila na ye na maboko na bino mpe kolimwisa bino na mokili?
And now evil men have slain a righteous men in his house on his bed: now then I will require his blood of your hand, and I will destroy you from off the earth.
12 Boye Davidi apesaki mitindo; mpe bato na ye babomaki bango, bakataki bango maboko mpe makolo mpe badiembikaki bango pembeni ya liziba ya Ebron. Bazwaki moto ya Ishi-Bosheti mpe bakundaki yango kati na kunda ya Abineri, na Ebron.
And David commanded his young men, and they kill them, and cut off their hands and their feet; and they hung them up at the fountain in Chebron: and they buried the head of Jebosthe in the tomb of Abenezer the son of Ner.
