< 2 Samuel 1 >

1 Now it happened that, after Saul died, David returned from the slaughter of Amalek, and he remained for two days at Ziklag.
Wana Saulo asilaki kokufa, Davidi azongaki na Tsikilagi sima na ye kolonga bato ya Amaleki. Mpe avandaki kuna mikolo mibale.
2 Then, on the third day, a man appeared, arriving from the camp of Saul, with his garments torn and dust sprinkled on his head. And when he came to David, he fell on his face, and he reverenced.
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.
3 And David said to him, “Where have you come from?” And he said to him, “I have fled from the camp of Israel.”
Davidi atunaki ye: — Owuti wapi? Azongisaki: — Nakimi wuta na molako ya Isalaele.
4 And David said to him: “What is the word that has happened? Reveal it to me.” And he said: “The people have fled from the battle, and many of the people have fallen and died. Moreover, Saul and his son Jonathan have passed away.”
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.
5 And David said to the youth who was reporting to him, “How do you know that Saul and his son Jonathan have died?”
Bongo Davidi alobaki na elenge mobali oyo azalaki kopesa ye sango: — Oyebi ndenge nini ete Saulo mpe mwana na ye ya mobali, Jonatan, bakufi?
6 And the youth, who was reporting it to him, said: “I arrived by chance on mount Gilboa. And Saul was lying upon his spear. Then the chariots and horsemen drew near to him.
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.
7 And turning behind his back and seeing me, he called to me. And when I had responded, “I am here,”
Tango kaka abalukaki mpe amonaki ngai, abengaki ngai; mpe ngai nazongisaki: « Ngai oyo. »
8 he said to me, “Who are you?” And I said to him, “I am an Amalekite.”
Atunaki ngai: — Ozali nani? Nazongiselaki ye: — Nazali moto ya Amaleki.
9 And he said to me: “Stand over me, and kill me. For anguish has taken hold of me, and still my whole life is in me.”
Alobaki na ngai: — Pusana pene na ngai mpe boma ngai, pamba te nazali koyoka lisusu nzoto malamu te, atako nazali nanu na bomoi.
10 And standing over him, I killed him. For I knew that he was not able to live after the fall. And I took the diadem that was on his head, and the bracelet from his arm, and I have brought them here to you, my lord.”
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.
11 Then David, taking hold of his garments, tore them, with all the men who were with him.
Bongo Davidi mpe basoda nyonso oyo bazalaki elongo na ye basimbaki bilamba na bango mpe bapasolaki yango.
12 And they mourned, and wept, and fasted until evening, over Saul and over his son Jonathan, and over the people of the Lord and over the house of Israel, because they had fallen by the sword.
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.
13 And David said to the youth who had reported it to him, “Where are you from?” And he responded, “I am the son of a man who is a new arrival from the Amalekites.”
Davidi atunaki elenge mobali oyo amemelaki ye sango: — Ozali moto ya mboka nini? Azongisaki: — Nazali mwana mobali ya mopaya moko, moto ya Amaleki.
14 And David said to him, “Why were you not afraid to put forth your hand, so that you would kill the Christ of the Lord?”
Davidi atunaki ye: — Mpo na nini obangaki te kosembola loboko na yo mpo na koboma mopakolami na Yawe?
15 And calling one of his servants, David said, “Draw near and rush against him” And he struck him, and he died.
Bongo Davidi abengaki moko kati na basoda na ye mpe alobaki: « Yaka, boma ye! » Mpe soda yango abomaki ye.
16 And David said to him: “Your blood is upon your own head. For your own mouth has spoken against you, saying: ‘I have killed the Christ of the Lord.’”
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. › »
17 Then David mourned a lamentation over Saul and over his son Jonathan, in this way.
Davidi asalaki nzembo oyo ya mawa mpo na Saulo mpe Jonatan, mwana na ye ya mobali.
18 (And he instructed that they should teach the sons of Judah the bow, just as it is written in the Book of the Just.) And he said: “Consider, O Israel, on behalf of those who are dead, wounded upon your heights:
Apesaki mitindo ete balakisa yango epai ya bato ya Yuda. Nzembo yango ya mawa ekomama kati na buku ya Moto ya Sembo.
19 The illustrious of Israel have been killed upon your mountains. How could the valiant have fallen?
Oh Isalaele, lokumu na yo ekweyi na likolo ya bangomba na yo. Ndenge nini bilombe bakweyi!
20 Do not choose to announce it in Gath, and do not announce it in the crossroads of Ashkelon. Otherwise, the daughters of the Philistines may rejoice; otherwise, the daughters of the uncircumcised may exult.
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.
21 O mountains of Gilboa, let neither dew, nor rain fall over you, and may these not be the fields of the first-fruits. For in that place, the shield of the valiant was cast away, the shield of Saul, as if he had not been anointed with oil.
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.
22 From the blood of the slain, from the fat of the strong, the arrow of Jonathan never turned back, and the sword of Saul did not return empty.
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.
23 Saul and Jonathan, worthy to be loved, and stately in their life: even in death they were not divided. They were swifter than eagles, stronger than lions.
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.
24 O daughters of Israel, weep over Saul, who clothed you with scarlet finery, who offered ornaments of gold for your adornment.
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.
25 How could the valiant have fallen in battle? How could Jonathan have been slain on the heights?
Ndenge nini bilombe bakweyi na bitumba! Ndenge nini babomaki Jonatan na bangomba na yo!
26 I grieve over you, my brother Jonathan: exceedingly stately, and worthy to be loved above the love of women. As a mother loves her only son, so also did I love you.
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!
27 How could the robust have fallen, and the weapons of war have perished?”
Ndenge nini bilombe bakweyi! Ah! bibundeli ya bitumba ekomi pamba!
