2 Samuele 1
1 Wana Saulo asilaki kokufa, Davidi azongaki na Tsikilagi sima na ye kolonga bato ya Amaleki. Mpe avandaki kuna mikolo mibale.
AND IT came to pass after the death of Saul, when David was returned from the slaughter of the Amalekites, and David had abode two days in Ziklag;
2 Na mokolo ya misato, moto moko awutaki na molako ya Saulo mpe ayaki na bilamba epasuka, moto etonda na putulu. Tango akomaki epai ya Davidi, amibwakaki na mabele mpo na kogumbama liboso ya Davidi.
it came even to pass on the third day, that, behold, a man came out of the camp from Saul with his clothes rent, and earth upon his head; and so it was, when he came to David, that he fell to the earth, and prostrated himself.
3 Davidi atunaki ye: — Owuti wapi? Azongisaki: — Nakimi wuta na molako ya Isalaele.
And David said unto him: 'From whence comest thou?' And he said unto him: 'Out of the camp of Israel am I escaped.'
4 Davidi atunaki lisusu: — Yebisa ngai makambo nini eleki kuna? Moto yango alobaki: — Mampinga ya Isalaele ekimi bitumba; ebele kati na bango bakweyi na bitumba mpe bakufi, ata Saulo mpe mwana na ye ya mobali, Jonatan, bakufi.
And David said unto him: 'How went the matter? I pray thee, tell me.' And he answered: 'The people are fled from the battle, and many of the people also are fallen and dead; and Saul and Jonathan his son are dead also.'
5 Bongo Davidi alobaki na elenge mobali oyo azalaki kopesa ye sango: — Oyebi ndenge nini ete Saulo mpe mwana na ye ya mobali, Jonatan, bakufi?
And David said unto the young man that told him: 'How knowest thou that Saul and Jonathan his son are dead?'
6 Elenge mobali azongisaki: — Nazalaki na ngai koleka na likolo ya ngomba Giliboa, mpe namonaki Saulo alaleli likonga na ye. Namonaki lisusu bashar mpe basoda oyo babundaka likolo ya bampunda kokoma pene ya kokanga ye.
And the young man that told him said: 'As I happened by chance upon mount Gilboa, behold, Saul leaned upon his spear; and, lo, the chariots and the horsemen pressed hard upon him.
7 Tango kaka abalukaki mpe amonaki ngai, abengaki ngai; mpe ngai nazongisaki: « Ngai oyo. »
And when he looked behind him, he saw me, and called unto me. And I answered: Here am I.
8 Atunaki ngai: — Ozali nani? Nazongiselaki ye: — Nazali moto ya Amaleki.
And he said unto me: Who art thou? And I answered him: I am an Amalekite.
9 Alobaki na ngai: — Pusana pene na ngai mpe boma ngai, pamba te nazali koyoka lisusu nzoto malamu te, atako nazali nanu na bomoi.
And he said unto me: Stand, I pray thee, beside me, and slay me, for the agony hath taken hold of me; because my life is just yet in me.
10 Boye napusanaki pene na ye mpe nabomaki ye, pamba te nayebaki ete akobika te na kotala ndenge babetaki ye. Sima, nazwaki ekoti na ye ya bokonzi, oyo azalaki na yango na moto mpe singa oyo alataki na loboko na ye, mpe namemi yango epai na yo, nkolo na ngai.
So I stood beside him, and slew him, because I was sure that he could not live after that he was fallen; and I took the crown that was upon his head, and the bracelet that was on his arm, and have brought them hither unto my lord.'
11 Bongo Davidi mpe basoda nyonso oyo bazalaki elongo na ye basimbaki bilamba na bango mpe bapasolaki yango.
Then David took hold on his clothes, and rent them; and likewise all the men that were with him.
12 Basalaki matanga, balelaki mpe bakilaki bilei kino na pokwa, mpo na Saulo mpe Jonatan, mwana na ye ya mobali; mpo na mampinga ya Yawe mpe mpo na libota ya Isalaele, mpo ete bakufaki na nzela ya mopanga.
And they wailed, and wept, and fasted until even, for Saul, and for Jonathan his son, and for the people of the LORD, and for the house of Israel; because they were fallen by the sword.
13 Davidi atunaki elenge mobali oyo amemelaki ye sango: — Ozali moto ya mboka nini? Azongisaki: — Nazali mwana mobali ya mopaya moko, moto ya Amaleki.
And David said unto the young man that told him: 'Whence art thou?' And he answered: 'I am the son of an Amalekite stranger.'
14 Davidi atunaki ye: — Mpo na nini obangaki te kosembola loboko na yo mpo na koboma mopakolami na Yawe?
And David said unto him: 'How wast thou not afraid to put forth thy hand to destroy the LORD'S anointed?'
15 Bongo Davidi abengaki moko kati na basoda na ye mpe alobaki: « Yaka, boma ye! » Mpe soda yango abomaki ye.
And David called one of the young men, and said: 'Go near, and fall upon him.' And he smote him that he died.
16 Davidi alobaki na moto oyo amemelaki ye sango: « Tika ete makila na yo etangama na moto na yo moko, pamba te maloba na yo moko nde efundi yo mpo ete olobi: ‹ Nabomaki mopakolami na Yawe. › »
And David said unto him: 'Thy blood be upon thy head; for thy mouth hath testified against thee, saying: I have slain the LORD'S anointed.'
17 Davidi asalaki nzembo oyo ya mawa mpo na Saulo mpe Jonatan, mwana na ye ya mobali.
And David lamented with this lamentation over Saul and over Jonathan his son,
18 Apesaki mitindo ete balakisa yango epai ya bato ya Yuda. Nzembo yango ya mawa ekomama kati na buku ya Moto ya Sembo.
and said — To teach the sons of Judah the bow. Behold, it is written in the book of Jashar:
19 Oh Isalaele, lokumu na yo ekweyi na likolo ya bangomba na yo. Ndenge nini bilombe bakweyi!
Thy beauty, O Israel, upon thy high places is slain! How are the mighty fallen!
20 Bopanza sango yango te kati na Gati, bopanza yango te na babalabala ya Ashikeloni, noki te bana basi ya bato ya Filisitia bakosepela, mpe bana basi ya mibali oyo bakatama ngenga te bakopumbwa na esengo.
Tell it not in Gath, publish it not in the streets of Ashkelon; lest the daughters of the Philistines rejoice, lest the daughters of the uncircumcised triumph.
21 Oh bangomba ya Giliboa, tika ete mamwe mpe mvula ekweya lisusu te na likolo na bino, ata na likolo ya bilanga oyo ebotaka bambuma mpe epai wapi makabo ewutaka! Pamba te ezali kuna nde basambwisaki banguba ya bilombe, nguba ya Saulo oyo bakotikala kopakola lisusu mafuta te.
Ye mountains of Gilboa, let there be no dew nor rain upon you, neither fields of choice fruits; for there the shield of the mighty was vilely cast away, the shield of Saul, not anointed with oil.
22 Tolotolo ya Jonatan ezalaki kozonga sima te soki esopi makila ya banguna te, mpe soki etoboli mafuta ya bilombe te; mpe mopanga ya Saulo ezalaki kozonga te soki ekokisi mosala na yango te.
From the blood of the slain, from the fat of the mighty, the bow of Jonathan turned not back, and the sword of Saul returned not empty.
23 Na mikolo ya bomoi na bango, Saulo mpe Jonatan balinganaki makasi mpe bapesanaki lokumu; mpe na kufa na bango, bakabolaki bango te. Bazalaki mbangu koleka bampongo, makasi koleka bankosi.
Saul and Jonathan, the lovely and the pleasant in their lives, even in their death they were not divided; they were swifter than eagles, they were stronger than lions.
24 Oh bino bana basi ya Isalaele, bolela mpo na Saulo oyo alatisaki bino bilamba ya motane mpe biloko ya monzele, oyo atondisaki babiju ya wolo na bilamba na bino.
Ye daughters of Israel, weep over Saul, who clothed you in scarlet, with other delights, who put ornaments of gold upon your apparel.
25 Ndenge nini bilombe bakweyi na bitumba! Ndenge nini babomaki Jonatan na bangomba na yo!
How are the mighty fallen in the midst of the battle! Jonathan upon thy high places is slain!
26 Ah, Jonatan, ndeko na ngai ya mobali, nazali na pasi na motema mpo na yo! Ozalaki motuya mingi mpo na ngai. Bolingo na yo mpo na ngai ezalaki makasi koleka bolingo ya mwasi!
I am distressed for thee, my brother Jonathan; very pleasant hast thou been unto me; wonderful was thy love to me, passing the love of women.
27 Ndenge nini bilombe bakweyi! Ah! bibundeli ya bitumba ekomi pamba!
How are the mighty fallen, and the weapons of war perished!
