< 2 Samuel 15 >

1 After this, Absalom prepared a chariot and horses for himself, and fifty men to run before him.
Na tango wana, Abisalomi azwaki shar, bampunda mpe basoda tuku mitano oyo bazalaki kotambola liboso na ye lokola bakengeli na ye.
2 Absalom rose up early, and stood beside the way of the gate. When any man had a suit which should come to the king for judgment, then Absalom called to him, and said, “What city are you from?” He said, “Your servant is of one of the tribes of Israel.”
Abisalomi azalaki kolamuka na tongo makasi mpe azalaki kokende kotelema pembeni ya nzela oyo ekenda na ekotelo ya engumba. Bongo, tango nyonso moto azalaki koleka mpo na kokende epai ya mokonzi mpo ete akatela ye likambo, ye Abisalomi azalaki kobenga ye mpe kotuna ye: — Ozali moto ya engumba nini? Soki moto yango azongisi: — Mosali na yo azali moto ya moko kati na bikolo ya Isalaele.
3 Absalom said to him, “Behold, your matters are good and right; but there is no man deputized by the king to hear you.”
Abisalomi azalaki koloba na ye: — Tala, likambo na yo ezali malamu mpe sembo; kasi ezali na moto moko te oyo akoki koyoka yo epai ya mokonzi.
4 Absalom said moreover, “Oh that I were made judge in the land, that every man who has any suit or cause might come to me, and I would do him justice!”
Abisalomi azalaki kobakisa: — Ah! Soki nazalaki mosambisi kati na mokili oyo, moto nyonso oyo azali na likambo alingaki koya epai na ngai, mpe nalingaki kolongisa ye na likambo yango!
5 It was so, that when any man came near to bow down to him, he stretched out his hand, took hold of him, and kissed him.
Mpe tango nyonso moto azalaki kopusana mpo na kogumbama liboso na ye Abisalomi, Abisalomi azalaki kopesa loboko, koyamba mpe kopesa ye beze.
6 Absalom did this sort of thing to all Israel who came to the king for judgment. So Absalom stole the hearts of the men of Israel.
Azalaki kosala bongo epai ya bato nyonso ya Isalaele oyo bazalaki kokende epai ya mokonzi mpo ete akata likambo na bango, mpe ezalaki bongo nde Abisalomi azalaki komikotisa na mayele kati na mitema ya bato ya Isalaele.
7 At the end of forty years, Absalom said to the king, “Please let me go and pay my vow, which I have vowed to Yahweh, in Hebron.
Sima na mibu minei, Abisalomi alobaki na mokonzi: — Pesa ngai nzela mpo ete nakende na Ebron mpo na kokokisa ndayi oyo nalapaki epai na Yawe,
8 For your servant vowed a vow while I stayed at Geshur in Syria, saying, ‘If Yahweh shall indeed bring me again to Jerusalem, then I will serve Yahweh.’”
pamba te tango mosali na yo azalaki kovanda na Geshuri kati na Siri, nalapaki ndayi oyo: « Soki Yawe azongisi ngai na Yelusalemi, nakogumbamela Ye. »
9 The king said to him, “Go in peace.” So he arose and went to Hebron.
Mokonzi alobaki na ye: — Kende na kimia. Boye akendeki na Ebron.
10 But Absalom sent spies throughout all the tribes of Israel, saying, “As soon as you hear the sound of the trumpet, then you shall say, ‘Absalom is king in Hebron!’”
Mpe longwa kuna, Abisalomi atindaki bantoma kati na bikolo nyonso ya Isalaele mpo na koloba: « Tango kaka bokoyoka lokito ya kelelo, boloba: ‹ Abisalomi akomi mokonzi kati na Ebron. › »
11 Two hundred men went with Absalom out of Jerusalem, who were invited, and went in their simplicity; and they didn’t know anything.
Mibali nkama mibale babengisamaki wuta na Yelusalemi mpe bakendeki elongo na Abisalomi. Bakendeki na boboto mpe bayebaki ata likambo moko te.
12 Absalom sent for Ahithophel the Gilonite, David’s counselor, from his city, even from Giloh, while he was offering the sacrifices. The conspiracy was strong, for the people increased continually with Absalom.
Wana Abisalomi azalaki kobonza mbeka, abengisaki Ayitofeli, moto ya Gilo, mopesi toli ya Davidi, wuta na engumba na ye ya Gilo. Boye, likita ya batomboki ekomaki makasi; mpe lisanga ya Abisalomi ekomaki na bato ebele.
13 A messenger came to David, saying, “The hearts of the men of Israel are after Absalom.”
Ntoma moko ayaki koyebisa Davidi: — Mitema ya bato ya Isalaele esangani elongo na Abisalomi.
14 David said to all his servants who were with him at Jerusalem, “Arise! Let’s flee, or else none of us will escape from Absalom. Hurry to depart, lest he overtake us quickly and bring down evil on us, and strike the city with the edge of the sword.”
Davidi alobaki na bakalaka na ye nyonso oyo bazalaki na Yelusalemi: — Boya! Tosengeli kokima, soki te moko te kati na biso akobika liboso ya Abisalomi. Tosengeli kobima na lombangu, soki te akoya na lombangu kokanga biso, kobebisa biso mpe koboma engumba na mopanga.
15 The king’s servants said to the king, “Behold, your servants are ready to do whatever my lord the king chooses.”
Bakalaka ya mokonzi bazongiselaki Davidi: — Basali na yo bazali ya kobongama mpo na kosala makambo nyonso oyo mokonzi, nkolo na biso, akopona.
16 The king went out, and all his household after him. The king left ten women, who were concubines, to keep the house.
Mokonzi akendeki na makolo elongo na libota na ye mobimba oyo ezalaki kolanda ye; kasi atikaki bamakangu zomi mpo na kobatela ndako na ye.
17 The king went out, and all the people after him; and they stayed in Beth Merhak.
Boye mokonzi akendeki na makolo elongo na bato na ye nyonso oyo bazalaki kolanda ye mpe batelemaki pene ya ndako ya suka ya engumba.
18 All his servants passed on beside him; and all the Cherethites, and all the Pelethites, and all the Gittites, six hundred men who came after him from Gath, passed on before the king.
Basoda na ye nyonso bazalaki kotambola na bapembeni na ye elongo na bato nyonso ya Kereti mpe ya Peleti. Mpe bato nyonso ya Gati, nkama motoba, oyo batambolaki elongo na ye longwa na Gati, bazalaki kotambola liboso ya mokonzi.
19 Then the king said to Ittai the Gittite, “Why do you also go with us? Return, and stay with the king; for you are a foreigner and also an exile. Return to your own place.
Mokonzi alobaki na Itayi, moto ya Gati: — Mpo na nini yo mpe olingi koya elongo na biso? Zonga mpe vanda elongo na Abisalomi, mokonzi ya sika! Ozali mopaya, otikaki mboka na yo mpo na koya kokima awa.
20 Whereas you came but yesterday, should I today make you go up and down with us, since I go where I may? Return, and take back your brothers. Mercy and truth be with you.”
Oyaki mpe kaka lobi oyo ewuti koleka, bongo ndenge nini, lelo, namema yo elongo na biso wana nayebi kutu te epai nini nazali kokende? Zonga mpe zwa bato ya mboka na yo! Tika ete bolamu mpe boyengebene ya Yawe ezala elongo na yo!
21 Ittai answered the king and said, “As Yahweh lives, and as my lord the king lives, surely in what place my lord the king is, whether for death or for life, your servant will be there also.”
Itayi azongiselaki mokonzi: — Na Kombo na Yawe mpe na kombo ya mokonzi, nkolo na ngai, mosali na yo akozala bipai nyonso oyo mokonzi, nkolo na ngai, akozala, ezala mpo na bomoi to mpo na kufa.
22 David said to Ittai, “Go and pass over.” Ittai the Gittite passed over, and all his men, and all the little ones who were with him.
Davidi alobaki na Itayi: — Malamu! Leka liboso mpe tambola! Boye Itayi, moto ya Gati, atambolaki liboso elongo na basoda nyonso mpe mabota oyo ezalaki elongo na ye.
23 All the country wept with a loud voice, and all the people passed over. The king also himself passed over the brook Kidron, and all the people passed over toward the way of the wilderness.
Tango bato nyonso bazalaki koleka, mboka mobimba ezalaki kolela makasi. Mokonzi akatisaki lubwaku ya Sedron, mpe bato nyonso bakendeki na nzela oyo ekenda na esobe.
24 Behold, Zadok also came, and all the Levites with him, bearing the ark of the covenant of God; and they set down God’s ark; and Abiathar went up until all the people finished passing out of the city.
Tsadoki mpe azalaki wana elongo na Balevi oyo bazalaki elongo na ye mpe bamemaki Sanduku ya Boyokani ya Nzambe. Bakitisaki Sanduku ya Nzambe, mpe Abiatari abonzaki mbeka kino tango bato nyonso basilisaki kobima na engumba.
25 The king said to Zadok, “Carry God’s ark back into the city. If I find favor in Yahweh’s eyes, he will bring me again, and show me both it and his habitation;
Mokonzi alobaki na Tsadoki: — Zongisa Sanduku ya Nzambe kati na engumba. Soki nazwi ngolu na miso ya Yawe, akozongisa ngai mpe akopesa ngai nzela ya komona lisusu Sanduku yango mpe ndako na yango.
26 but if he says, ‘I have no delight in you,’ behold, here I am. Let him do to me as seems good to him.”
Kasi soki Nzambe alobi: « Nasepeli na yo te, » wana tika ete asala epai na ngai makambo oyo amoni ete ezali malamu, pamba te nazali ya kobongama.
27 The king said also to Zadok the priest, “Aren’t you a seer? Return into the city in peace, and your two sons with you, Ahimaaz your son and Jonathan the son of Abiathar.
Mokonzi alobaki lisusu epai ya Nganga-Nzambe Tsadoki: — Ozali momoni makambo te? Zonga na kimia na engumba elongo na Ayimaatsi, mwana na yo ya mobali, mpe Jonatan, mwana mobali ya Abiatari. Yo mpe Abiatari, bozwa mpe bomema bana na bino mibale ya mibali.
28 Behold, I will stay at the fords of the wilderness until word comes from you to inform me.”
Nakozela na bitando ya esobe kino nakoyoka liloba kowuta epai na bino.
29 Zadok therefore and Abiathar carried God’s ark to Jerusalem again; and they stayed there.
Boye Tsadoki mpe Abiatari bazongisaki Sanduku ya Nzambe, na Yelusalemi, mpe batikalaki kuna.
30 David went up by the ascent of the Mount of Olives, and wept as he went up; and he had his head covered and went barefoot. All the people who were with him each covered his head, and they went up, weeping as they went up.
Kasi Davidi azalaki komata ngomba ya banzete ya olive na kolela, moto na ye ya kozipama mpe makolo ngulu. Bato nyonso oyo bazalaki elongo na ye bazipaki bango mpe mito na bango mpe bazalaki kolela wana bazalaki komata.
31 Someone told David, saying, “Ahithophel is among the conspirators with Absalom.” David said, “Yahweh, please turn the counsel of Ahithophel into foolishness.”
Bayaki koyebisa Davidi ete Ayitofeli azali kati na bato oyo basalaki likita elongo na Abisalomi. Boye Davidi asambelaki: « Eh Yawe, sala ete batoli ya Ayitofeli ezanga tina. »
32 When David had come to the top, where God was worshiped, behold, Hushai the Archite came to meet him with his tunic torn and earth on his head.
Tango Davidi akomaki na songe ya ngomba epai wapi bato bazalaki na momesano ya kokende kogumbamela Nzambe, Ushayi, moto ya Ariki, mopesi toli ya Davidi, azalaki kuna mpo na kokutana na ye, na nzambala na ye epasuka mpe moto na ye etonda na putulu.
33 David said to him, “If you pass on with me, then you will be a burden to me;
Davidi alobaki na ye: — Soki okeyi elongo na ngai, okozala mokumba mpo na ngai.
34 but if you return to the city, and tell Absalom, ‘I will be your servant, O king. As I have been your father’s servant in time past, so I will now be your servant; then will you defeat for me the counsel of Ahithophel.’
Kasi soki ozongi na engumba mpe olobi na Abisalomi: « Nakozala mosali na yo, oh mokonzi! Kala, nazalaki mosali ya tata na yo, kasi sik’oyo, nakozala mosali na yo, » wana okosunga ngai na kobebisa toli ya Ayitofeli.
35 Don’t you have Zadok and Abiathar the priests there with you? Therefore whatever you hear out of the king’s house, tell it to Zadok and Abiathar the priests.
Lokola Banganga-Nzambe Tsadoki mpe Abiatari bakozala kuna elongo na yo, okoyebisa bango makambo nyonso oyo okoyoka na ndako ya mokonzi.
36 Behold, they have there with them their two sons, Ahimaaz, Zadok’s son, and Jonathan, Abiathar’s son. Send to me everything that you shall hear by them.”
Bana na bango ya mibali mibale, Ayimaatsi, mwana mobali ya Tsadoki, mpe Jonatan, mwana mobali ya Abiatari, bazali mpe kuna elongo na bango. Okotinda bango mpo ete baya koyebisa ngai makambo nyonso oyo okoyoka.
37 So Hushai, David’s friend, came into the city; and Absalom came into Jerusalem.
Boye Ushayi, moninga ya Davidi, azongaki na engumba, kaka na tango oyo Abisalomi mpe akotaki kati na Yelusalemi.
