2 Samuele 5
1 Bikolo nyonso ya Isalaele bayaki na Ebron epai ya Davidi mpe balobaki: « Biso na yo, tozali nzoto moko mpe makila moko.
Then came all the tribes of Israel to David to Hebron, and spoke, saying, Behold, we are thy bone and thy flesh.
2 Na kala, na mikolo oyo Saulo azalaki mokonzi, yo nde ozalaki kokamba mampinga ya Isalaele na bitumba. Nzokande, Yawe alobaki na yo: ‹ Yo nde okokamba bato na Ngai, Isalaele, mpe okokoma mokambi na bango. › »
Even aforetime, when Saul was king over us, thou wast he that leddest out and broughtest in Israel; and Jehovah said to thee, Thou shalt feed my people Israel, and thou shalt be prince over Israel.
3 Boye bampaka nyonso ya Isalaele bayaki na Ebron epai ya mokonzi. Mokonzi Davidi asalaki elongo na bango boyokani, na Ebron, liboso ya Yawe; mpe bapakolaki Davidi mafuta mpo ete akoma mokonzi ya Isalaele.
And all the elders of Israel came to the king to Hebron; and king David made a covenant with them in Hebron before Jehovah; and they anointed David king over Israel.
4 Davidi azalaki na mibu tuku misato ya mbotama tango akomaki mokonzi, mpe akonzaki mibu tuku minei:
David was thirty years old when he began to reign; he reigned forty years.
5 mibu sambo na basanza motoba lokola mokonzi ya Yuda, na Ebron; mpe mibu tuku misato na misato lokola mokonzi ya Isalaele mobimba mpe Yuda, na Yelusalemi.
In Hebron he reigned over Judah seven years and six months; and in Jerusalem he reigned thirty-three years over all Israel and Judah.
6 Mokonzi mpe bato na ye bakendeki na Yelusalemi mpo na kobundisa bato ya Yebusi oyo bazalaki kovanda kuna. Bavandi ya Yebusi balobaki na Davidi: « Okokota awa te, pamba te ezala mokufi miso to moto ya tengu-tengu akobengana yo. » Bakanisaki ete Davidi akoki kokota kuna te.
And the king and his men went to Jerusalem against the Jebusites, the inhabitants of the land; and they spoke to David, saying, Thou shalt not come in hither, but the blind and the lame will drive thee back; as much as to say, David will not come in hither.
7 Atako bongo, Davidi abotolaki ndako makasi ya Siona, oyo ezali engumba ya Davidi.
But David took the stronghold of Zion, which is the city of David.
8 Na mokolo wana, Davidi alobaki: « Moto nyonso oyo alingi kobundisa bato ya Yebusi asengeli kozwa nzela ya se ya mabele mpo na kokanga bato ya tengu-tengu mpe bakufi miso oyo bazali banguna ya Davidi. » Yango wana balobaka: « Bakufi miso mpe bato ya tengu-tengu bakokota te na ndako ya mokonzi. »
And David said on that day, Whoever smites the Jebusites and gets up to the watercourse, and the lame and the blind hated of David's soul...! Therefore they say, The blind and the lame shall not come into the house.
9 Davidi avandaki na ndako yango oyo batonga makasi mpe abengaki yango « Engumba ya Davidi. » Mpe Davidi atongaki zingazinga na yango, longwa na Milo kino na kati.
So David dwelt in the stronghold, and called it the city of David. And David built round about from the Millo and inward.
10 Nguya ya Davidi ezalaki komata se komata, mpe Yawe Nzambe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, azalaki elongo na ye.
And David became continually greater; and Jehovah the God of hosts was with him.
11 Irami, mokonzi ya Tiri, atindaki bantoma epai ya Davidi mpo ete bamemela ye mabaya ya sedele, basharipantie mpe bato oyo bapasolaka mabanga; mpe batongelaki Davidi ndako.
And Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and timber of cedars, and carpenters, and masons; and they built David a house.
12 Davidi asosolaki ete Yawe azali kolendisa ye lokola mokonzi ya Isalaele mpe azali kotombola bokonzi na ye mpo na Isalaele, bato na Ye.
And David perceived that Jehovah had established him king over Israel, and that he had exalted his kingdom because of his people Israel.
13 Tango Davidi alongwaki na Ebron mpe akendeki kovanda kati na Yelusalemi, azwaki lisusu bamakangu mpe basi mosusu ebele oyo babotelaki ye bana mosusu ya mibali mpe ya basi.
And David took him more concubines and wives out of Jerusalem, after he had come from Hebron; and there were yet sons and daughters born to David.
14 Tala bakombo ya bana ya Davidi oyo babotamaki na Yelusalemi: Shamuwa, Shobabi, Natan, Salomo,
And these are the names of those that were born to him in Jerusalem: Shammua, and Shobab, and Nathan, and Solomon,
15 Yibari, Elishuwa, Nefegi, Yafia,
and Ibhar, and Elishua, and Nepheg, and Japhia,
16 Elishama, Eliyada mpe Elifeleti.
and Elishama, and Eliada, and Eliphelet.
17 Tango bato ya Filisitia bayokaki ete bapakoli Davidi mafuta mpo ete akoma mokonzi ya Isalaele, bango nyonso bakendeki koluka ye. Kasi tango Davidi ayokaki sango ya mabongisi na bango, akendeki na ndako oyo batonga makasi.
And the Philistines heard that they had anointed David king over Israel, and all the Philistines went up to seek David; and David heard [of it], and went down to the stronghold.
18 Bato ya Filisitia bakomaki mpe bapanzanaki na lubwaku ya Refayimi.
And the Philistines came and spread themselves in the valley of Rephaim.
19 Davidi atunaki Yawe: — Nakoki solo kokende kobundisa bato ya Filisitia? Okokaba bango solo na maboko na ngai? Yawe azongiselaki ye: — Kende, pamba te nakokaba bato ya Filisitia na maboko na yo.
And David inquired of Jehovah, saying, Shall I go up against the Philistines? wilt thou give them into my hand? And Jehovah said to David, Go up; for I will certainly give the Philistines into thy hand.
20 Davidi akomaki na Bali-Peratsimi mpe alongaki kuna bato ya Filisitia. Alobaki: « Yawe afungoleli ngai nzela kati na banguna na ngai, ndenge mayi epasolaka nzela. » Yango wana babengaki esika yango Bala-Peratsimi.
And David came to Baal-perazim, and David smote them there; and he said, Jehovah has broken in upon mine enemies before me, as the breaking forth of waters. Therefore he called the name of that place Baal-perazim.
21 Bato ya Filisitia basundolaki kuna banzambe na bango ya bikeko, mpe Davidi elongo na basoda na ye bamemaki yango.
And they left their images there, and David and his men took them away.
22 Bato ya Filisitia bayaki lisusu mpe bapanzanaki kati na lubwaku ya Refayimi.
And the Philistines came up yet again, and spread themselves in the valley of Rephaim.
23 Bongo Davidi atunaki Yawe, mpe Yawe azongiselaki ye: « Kobundisa bango na liboso te, kasi baluka na sima na bango; bongo okobimela bango na liboso ya banzete ya mirie.
And David inquired of Jehovah; and he said, Thou shalt not go up; turn round behind them and come upon them opposite the mulberry-trees.
24 Tango okoyoka lokito ya makolo ya bato na likolo ya banzete ya Mirie, na tango wana nde okobima noki, pamba te ekolakisa ete Yawe abimi liboso na yo mpo na kobeta mampinga ya bato ya Filisitia. »
And it shall be, when thou hearest a sound of marching in the tops of the mulberry-trees, that then thou shalt bestir thyself; for then will Jehovah have gone forth before thee, to smite the army of the Philistines.
25 Davidi asalaki ndenge Yawe atindaki ye mpe abomaki bato ya Filisitia, longwa na Geba kino na Gezeri.
And David did so, as Jehovah had commanded him; and smote the Philistines from Geba until thou comest to Gezer.
