2 Samuele 1

1 Wana Saulo asilaki kokufa, Davidi azongaki na Tsikilagi sima na ye kolonga bato ya Amaleki. Mpe avandaki kuna mikolo mibale.

After the death of Saul, when Dauid was returned from the slaughter of the Amalekites and had beene two dayes 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.

Behold, a man came the third day out of the host from Saul with his clothes rent, and earth vpon his head: and when hee came to Dauid, he fell to the earth, and did obeisance.

3 Davidi atunaki ye: — Owuti wapi? Azongisaki: — Nakimi wuta na molako ya Isalaele.

Then Dauid saide vnto him, Whence commest thou? And he said vnto him, Out of the host of Israel I am 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 Dauid saide vnto him, What is done? I pray thee, tell me. Then he said, that the people is fled from the battel, and many of the people are ouerthrowen, and dead, and also Saul and Ionathan his sonne are dead.

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 Dauid saide vnto the yong man that tolde it him, Howe knowest thou that Saul and Ionathan his sonne be 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.

Then the yong man that tolde him, answered, As I came to mount Gilboa, behold, Saul leaned vpon his speare, and loe, the charets and horsemen followed hard after him.

7 Tango kaka abalukaki mpe amonaki ngai, abengaki ngai; mpe ngai nazongisaki: « Ngai oyo. »

And when he looked backe, he saw me, and called me. And I answered, Here am I.

8 Atunaki ngai: — Ozali nani? Nazongiselaki ye: — Nazali moto ya Amaleki.

And he said vnto 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.

Then saide hee vnto me, I pray thee come vpon mee, and slay me: for anguish is come vpon me, because my life is yet whole 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 came vpon him, and slewe him, and because I was sure that hee coulde not liue, after that hee had fallen, I tooke the crowne that was vpon his head, and the bracelet that was on his arme, and brought them hither vnto my lord.

11 Bongo Davidi mpe basoda nyonso oyo bazalaki elongo na ye basimbaki bilamba na bango mpe bapasolaki yango.

Then Dauid tooke hold on his clothes, and rent them, and likewise al 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 mourned and wept, and fasted vntil euen, for Saul and for Ionathan his sonne, and for the people of the Lord, and for the house of Israel, because they were slaine with 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.

Afterward Dauid saide vnto the yong man that tolde it him, Whence art thou? And hee answered, I am the sonne of a stranger an Amalekite.

14 Davidi atunaki ye: — Mpo na nini obangaki te kosembola loboko na yo mpo na koboma mopakolami na Yawe?

And Dauid said vnto him, How wast thou not afrayd, to put forth thine hand to destroy the Anoynted of the Lord?

15 Bongo Davidi abengaki moko kati na basoda na ye mpe alobaki: « Yaka, boma ye! » Mpe soda yango abomaki ye.

Then Dauid called one of his yong men, and said, Goe neere, and fall vpon him. And hee smote him that he dyed.

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. › »

Then said Dauid vnto him, Thy blood be vpon thine owne head: for thine owne mouth hath testified against thee, saying, I haue slaine the Lords Anoynted.

17 Davidi asalaki nzembo oyo ya mawa mpo na Saulo mpe Jonatan, mwana na ye ya mobali.

Then Dauid mourned with this lamentation ouer Saul, and ouer Ionathan his sonne,

18 Apesaki mitindo ete balakisa yango epai ya bato ya Yuda. Nzembo yango ya mawa ekomama kati na buku ya Moto ya Sembo.

(Also he bade them teach the children of Iudah to shoote, as it is written in the booke of Iasher)

19 Oh Isalaele, lokumu na yo ekweyi na likolo ya bangomba na yo. Ndenge nini bilombe bakweyi!

O noble Israel, hee is slane vpon thy hie places: how are the mightie ouerthrowen!

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, nor publish it in the streetes of Ashkelon, lest the daughters of the Philistims reioyce, lest the daughters of the vncircumcised 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 mountaines of Gilboa, vpon you be neither dewe nor raine, nor be there fieldes of offrings: for there the shielde of the mightie is cast downe, the shielde of Saul, as though he had not bene anointed with oyle.

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.

The bow of Ionathan neuer turned backe, neither did the sword of Saul returne emptie from the blood of the slaine, and from the fatte of the mightie.

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 Ionathan were louely and pleasant in their liues, and in their deaths they were not deuided: they were swifter then eagles, they were stronger then 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.

Yee daughters of Israel, weepe for Saul, which clothed you in skarlet, with pleasures, and hanged ornaments of gold vpon your apparel.

25 Ndenge nini bilombe bakweyi na bitumba! Ndenge nini babomaki Jonatan na bangomba na yo!

Howe were the mightie slaine in the mids of the battel! O Ionathan, thou wast slaine in thine hie places.

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!

Wo is me for thee, my brother Ionathan: very kinde hast thou bene vnto me: thy loue to me was wonderfull, passing the loue of women:

27 Ndenge nini bilombe bakweyi! Ah! bibundeli ya bitumba ekomi pamba!

howe are the mightie ouerthrowen, and the weapons of warre destroyed!
