1 Samuele 29
1 Bato ya Filisitia basangisaki mampinga na bango ya basoda na Afeki, mpe Isalaele atongaki molako pene ya etima ya mayi oyo ezali na Jizireyeli.
So the Philistims were gathered together with all their armies in Aphek: and the Israelites pitched by the fountaine, which is in Izreel.
2 Wana bakambi ya bato ya Filisitia batambolaki liboso ya mampinga na bango ya bankama mpe ya bankoto ya basoda, Davidi mpe bato na ye bazalaki kotambola na sima elongo na mokonzi Akishi.
And the princes of the Philistims went foorth by hundreths and thousandes, but Dauid and his men came behinde with Achish.
3 Bakonzi ya basoda ya Filisitia batunaki: — Ba-Ebre oyo bazali kosala nini awa? Akishi alobaki na bango: — Ezali Davidi, mosali ya Saulo, mokonzi ya Isalaele. Azali elongo na ngai wuta mibu mpe mikolo; mpe natikali nanu kokanga ye ata na mbeba moko te.
Then saide the princes of the Philistims, What doe these Ebrewes here? And Achish said vnto the princes of the Philistims, Is not this Dauid the seruant of Saul the King of Israel, who hath bene with me these dayes, or these yeeres, and I haue found nothing in him, since he dwelt with me vnto this day?
4 Kasi bakonzi ya basoda ya Filisitia batombokelaki Akishi mpe balobaki: — Zongisa moto oyo! Tika ete azonga na esika oyo otiaki ye; asengeli te kokende elongo na biso na bitumba, noki te akobalukela biso na tango ya bitumba. Mpe ndenge nini moto oyo akoki kosepelisa lisusu mokonzi na ye, soki na komema mito ya bato na biso moko te?
But the princes of the Philistims were wroth with him, and the princes of the Philistims said vnto him, Sende this fellow backe, that he may goe againe to his place which thou hast appointed him, and let him not goe downe with vs to battell, least that in the battell he be an aduersarie to vs: for wherewith should he obteine the fauour of his master? shoulde it not be with the heades of these men?
5 Ezali Davidi wana te oyo na tina na ye babandaki koyemba mpe kobina: « Saulo abomaki bankoto, mpe Davidi abomaki bankoto zomi. »
Is not this Dauid, of whome they sang in daunces, saying, Saul slewe his thousande, and Dauid his ten thousande?
6 Boye Akishi abengaki Davidi mpe alobaki na ye: — Na Kombo na Yawe, ozali moto ya sembo. Nasepelaka komona yo kokende mpe kozonga elongo na ngai kati na mampinga. Wuta mokolo oyo oyaki epai na ngai kino lelo, natikali nanu kokanga yo na mbeba ata moko te; kasi bakambi ya bato ya Filisitia bazali kondima yo te.
Then Achish called Dauid, and said vnto him, As the Lord liueth, thou hast bene vpright and good in my sight, when thou wentest out and in with mee in the hoste, neither haue I founde euill with thee, since thou camest to me vnto this day, but the princes doe not fauour thee.
7 Boye, zonga mpe kende na kimia; kosala eloko moko te oyo ekosepelisa te bakambi ya bato ya Filisitia.
Wherefore nowe returne, and go in peace, that thou displease not the princes of the Philistims.
8 Davidi atunaki Akishi: — Nasali nini? Eloko nini ya mabe oyo omoni epai ya mosali na yo wuta mokolo oyo nayaki epai na yo kino lelo? Mpo na nini nakoki te kokende kobundisa banguna ya mokonzi, nkolo na ngai?
And Dauid said vnto Achish, But what haue I done? and what hast thou founde in thy seruant as long as I haue bene with thee vnto this day, that I may not goe and fight against the enemies of my lorde the King?
9 Akishi azongiselaki Davidi: — Nayebi ete osepelisaka ngai lokola Anjelu na Nzambe, Kasi bakonzi ya basoda ya Filisitia balobi: « Asengeli te kokende elongo na biso na bitumba. »
Achish then answered, and said to Dauid, I knowe thou pleasest mee, as an Angell of God: but the princes of the Philistims haue saide, Let him not goe vp with vs to battell.
10 Boye, lamuka na tongo makasi, yo mpe basoda ya nkolo na yo, oyo bayaki elongo na yo. Bolamuka na tongo makasi mpe bokende wana moyi ekobima.
Wherefore now rise vp earely in the morning with thy masters seruants that are come with thee: and when ye be vp earely, assoone as ye haue light, depart.
11 Boye, Davidi mpe bato na ye batelemaki na tongo makasi mpo na kozonga na mokili ya bato ya Filisitia; mpe bato ya Filisitia bakendeki na Jizireyeli.
So Dauid and his men rose vp earely to depart in the morning, and to returne into the lande of the Philistims: and the Philistims went vp to Izreel.
