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 all the tribes of Israel came to David in Hebron, 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. › »
Moreover yesterday also and the day before, when Saul was king over us, thou wast he that did lead out and bring in Israel: and the Lord 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.
The ancients also of Israel came to the king to Hebron, and king David made a league with them in Hebron before the Lord: and they anointed David to be 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, and 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 Juda seven years and six months: and in Jerusalem he reigned three and thirty years over all Israel and Juda.
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 all the men that were with him went to Jerusalem to the Jebusites the inhabitants of the land: and they said to David: Thou shalt not come in hither unless thou take away the blind and the lame that say: David shall not come in hither.
7 Atako bongo, Davidi abotolaki ndako makasi ya Siona, oyo ezali engumba ya Davidi.
But David took the castle of Sion, the same 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. »
For David had offered that day a reward to whosoever should strike the Jebusites and get up to the gutters of the tops of the houses, and take away the blind and the lame that hated the soul of David: therefore it is said in the proverb: The blind and the lame shall not come into the temple.
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.
And David dwelt in the castle, and called it, The city of David: and built round about from Mello and inwards.
10 Nguya ya Davidi ezalaki komata se komata, mpe Yawe Nzambe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, azalaki elongo na ye.
And he went on prospering and growing up, and the Lord 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 the king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and cedar trees, and carpenters, and masons for walls: and they built a house for David.
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 knew that the Lord bad confirmed him king over Israel, and that he had exalted his kingdom over 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 more concubines and wives of Jerusalem, after he was come from Hebron: and there were born to David other sons also and daughters:
14 Tala bakombo ya bana ya Davidi oyo babotamaki na Yelusalemi: Shamuwa, Shobabi, Natan, Salomo,
And these are the names of them, that were born to him in Jerusalem, Samua, and Sobab, and Nathan, and Solomon,
15 Yibari, Elishuwa, Nefegi, Yafia,
And Jebahar, and Elisua, and Nepheg,
16 Elishama, Eliyada mpe Elifeleti.
And Japhia, and Elisama, and Elioda, and Eliphaleth.
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 to be king over Israel: and they all came to seek David: and when David heard of it, he went down to a strong hold.
18 Bato ya Filisitia bakomaki mpe bapanzanaki na lubwaku ya Refayimi.
And the Philistines coming spread themselves in the valley of Raphaim.
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 consulted the Lord, saying: Shall I go up to the Philistines? and wilt thou deliver them into my hand? And the Lord said to David: Go up, for I will surely deliver 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 Pharisim: and defeated them there, and he said: The Lord hath divided my enemies before me, as waters are divided. Therefore the name of the place was called Baal Pharisim.
21 Bato ya Filisitia basundolaki kuna banzambe na bango ya bikeko, mpe Davidi elongo na basoda na ye bamemaki yango.
And they left there their idols: which David and his men took away.
22 Bato ya Filisitia bayaki lisusu mpe bapanzanaki kati na lubwaku ya Refayimi.
And the Philistines came up again and spread themselves in the valley of Raphaim.
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 consulted the Lord: Shall I go up against the Philistines, and wilt thou deliver them into my hands? He answered: Go not up against them, but fetch a compass behind them, and thou shalt come upon them over against the pear 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 when thou shalt hear the sound of one going in the tops of the pear trees, then shalt thou join battle: for then will the Lord go out before thy face to strike 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 as the Lord had commanded him, and he smote the Philistines from Gabaa until thou come to Gezer.
