2 Samuel 17
1 And Ahithophel said to Absalom, Let me, I pray, choose out twelve thousand men, and I will arise and pursue after David to-night;
Ayitofeli alobaki na Abisalomi: — Nakopona mibali nkoto zomi na mibale mpe nakolanda Davidi na pokwa ya lelo.
2 and I will come upon him while he is weary and weak-handed, and will make him afraid; and all the people that are with him shall flee; and I will smite the king only;
Nakobundisa ye tango makasi na ye ekosila mpe nzoto na ye ekolemba; nakoyeisa mobulu epai na ye, mpe wana bato nyonso oyo bazali elongo na ye bakokima, ngai nakoboma ye mokonzi tango akotikala ye moko;
3 and I will bring back all the people to thee. The man whom thou seekest is as if all returned: all the people shall be in peace.
mpe nakozongisa bato nyonso epai na yo. Kufa ya moto oyo ozali koluka elakisi kozonga ya bato nyonso! mpe bato nyonso bakozala na kimia.
4 And the saying was right in the eyes of Absalom, and in the eyes of all the elders of Israel.
Makanisi oyo emonanaki ya sembo na miso ya Abisalomi mpe ya bampaka nyonso ya Isalaele.
5 And Absalom said, Call now Hushai the Archite also, and we will hear also what he says.
Kasi Abisalomi alobaki: — Bobengisa lisusu Ushayi, moto ya Ariki, mpo ete toyoka makambo nini oyo ye mpe azali na yango ya koloba.
6 And Hushai came to Absalom, and Absalom spoke to him saying, Ahithophel has spoken after this manner: shall we carry out his word? If not, speak thou.
Tango Ushayi akomaki epai na ye, Abisalomi alobaki: — Tala toli oyo Ayitofeli apesi. Boni, tosengeli kosala makambo oyo alobi? Soki te, yebisa biso makanisi na yo.
7 And Hushai said to Absalom, The counsel that Ahithophel has given this time is not good.
Ushayi azongiselaki Abisalomi: — Ya mbala oyo, toli oyo Ayitofeli apesi ezali malamu te.
8 And Hushai said, Thou knowest thy father and his men, that they are mighty men, and they are of exasperated spirit, as a bear robbed of her whelps in the field; and thy father is a man of war, and will not lodge with the people.
Bongo Ushayi abakisaki: — Oyebi ete tata na yo mpe bato na ye bazali bato ya mpiko mpe bato na kanda makasi lokola ngombolo ya mwasi oyo bawuti kobotola bana na yango kati na zamba. Tata na yo azali moto oyo abundaka bitumba wuta kala, akolekisa te butu esika moko na bato.
9 Behold, he is hid now in some pit, or some such place; and it will come to pass, when some of them fall at the first, whoever heareth it will say, There has been slaughter among the people that follow Absalom,
Ata azali sik’oyo ya kobombama kati na lidusu ya mabanga to na esika songolo, nzokande tango kaka bato kati na mampinga na biso bakobanda kokufa, ekozanga te komonana moto oyo akoyoka yango mpe akoloba: « Kati na bato oyo bazali kolanda Abisalomi, ebele bakufi. »
10 and even the valiant man whose heart is as the heart of a lion shall utterly melt; for all Israel knows that thy father is a mighty man, and they that are with him are valiant men.
Bongo na tango yango, ata soda oyo aleki na mpiko, oyo azali na motema lokola ya nkosi, akobanga makasi, pamba te Isalaele mobimba eyebi ete tata na yo mpe bato nyonso oyo bazali elongo na ye bazali basoda ya mpiko.
11 But I counsel that all Israel be speedily gathered to thee, from Dan even to Beer-sheba, as the sand that is by the sea for multitude; and that thou go to battle in thine own person.
Boye tala toli na ngai: « Tika ete Isalaele mobimba basangana epai na yo, longwa na Dani kino na Beri-Sheba, bazala ebele lokola zelo ya ebale monene! Bongo yo moko okotambola liboso na bango na bitumba.
12 And we shall come upon him in some place where he shall be found, and we will light upon him as the dew falls on the ground; and of him and of all the men that are with him there shall not be left so much as one.
Bongo tokobundisa ye na bisika nyonso oyo akoki komonana mpe tokokweyela ye ndenge manoka ekweyaka na mabele. Mpe ezala ye to bato na ye, moko te akotikala na bomoi.
13 And if he withdraw into a city, then shall all Israel bring ropes to that city, and we will draw it into the torrent, until there be not one small stone found there.
Soki akimi na engumba moko, Isalaele mobimba ekomema basinga kuna na engumba yango mpe tokobenda engumba yango na lubwaku kino etikala ata na libanga moko te. »
14 And Absalom and all the men of Israel said, The counsel of Hushai the Archite is better than the counsel of Ahithophel. And Jehovah had appointed to defeat the good counsel of Ahithophel, in order that Jehovah might bring evil upon Absalom.
Abisalomi mpe bato nyonso ya Isalaele balobaki: — Toli ya Ushayi, moto ya Ariki, ezali malamu koleka oyo ya Ayitofeli, pamba te Yawe azwaki mokano ya kokakola batoli malamu ya Ayitofeli mpo na komema pasi epai ya Abisalomi.
15 And Hushai said to Zadok and to Abiathar the priests, Thus and thus did Ahithophel counsel Absalom and the elders of Israel; and thus and thus have I counselled.
Ushayi alobaki na Banganga-Nzambe Tsadoki mpe Abiatari: — Ayitofeli apesaki toli na Abisalomi mpe na bampaka ya Isalaele ete basala likambo songolo, mpe ngai napesi bango toli ete basala likambo pakala.
16 And now send quickly, and tell David saying, Lodge not this night in the plains of the wilderness, but speedily pass over; lest the king be swallowed up, and all the people that are with him.
Sik’oyo, tinda noki sango epai ya Davidi mpo na koloba na ye: « Kolekisa te butu kati na bitando ya esobe, kasi kende mosika, noki te mokonzi mpe bato oyo bazali elongo na yo bokufa. »
17 And Jonathan and Ahimaaz stayed by En-rogel; and the maid went and told them; and they went and told king David, for they might not be seen to come into the city.
Wana Jonatan mpe Ayimaatsi bavandaki na Eyini-Rogeli, mwasi mosali moko amemelaki bango sango oyo bango basengelaki kokende koyebisa mokonzi Davidi; pamba te basengelaki te kokota kati na engumba mpo ete bamona bango te.
18 But a lad saw them, and told Absalom. Then they went both of them away quickly, and came to the house of a man at Bahurim, who had a well in his court; and they went down there.
Nzokande elenge mobali moko amonaki bango mpe akendeki koyebisa Abisalomi. Boye mibali nyonso mibale bakimaki noki mpe bakendeki na ndako ya moto moko ya Bawurimi. Lokola azalaki na libulu moko ya mayi kati na lopango na ye, bakitaki kuna.
19 And the woman took and spread the covering over the well's mouth, and spread ground corn on it; and the thing was not known.
Mwasi na ye akamataki kapo, atiaki yango na monoko ya libulu mpe asopaki bambuma na likolo na yango. Moto moko te ayebaki likambo yango.
20 And Absalom's servants came to the woman to the house, and said, Where are Ahimaaz and Jonathan? And the woman said to them, They have gone over the brook of water. And they sought and could not find [them], and returned to Jerusalem.
Tango bato ya Abisalomi bayaki epai ya mwasi, batunaki: — Ayimaatsi mpe Jonatan bazali wapi? Mwasi azongiselaki bango: — Bakatisi mayi. Bato ya Abisalomi balukaki, kasi bamonaki moto moko te; mpe bazongaki na Yelusalemi.
21 And it came to pass after they had departed, that they came up out of the well, and went and told king David; and they said to David, Arise and pass quickly over the water; for thus has Ahithophel counselled against you.
Tango bakendeki, Ayimaatsi mpe Jonatan babimaki na libulu mpe bakendeki koyebisa mokonzi Davidi: « Botelema mpe bokatisa mayi noki, pamba te Ayitofeli apesi toli moko ya mabe na tina na yo. »
22 Then David arose, and all the people that were with him, and they passed over the Jordan; by the morning light there was not one of them missing that had not gone over the Jordan.
Boye Davidi mpe bato oyo bazalaki elongo na ye batelemaki mpe bakatisaki ebale Yordani. Liboso ete tongo etana, bango nyonso basilisaki kokatisa Yordani, moko te atikalaki.
23 And when Ahithophel saw that his counsel was not followed, he saddled his ass, and arose and went to his house, to his city, and gave charge to his household, and hanged himself, and he died; and he was buried in the sepulchre of his father.
Tango Ayitofeli amonaki ete balandi te toli na ye, amataki na ane mpe azongaki na ndako na ye kati na engumba na ye. Abongisaki biloko ya ndako na ye mpe amidiembikaki. Boye akufaki mpe bakundaki ye kati na kunda ya tata na ye.
24 And David came to Mahanaim. And Absalom passed over the Jordan, he and all the men of Israel with him.
Davidi akendeki na Maanayimi, mpe Abisalomi akatisaki Yordani elongo na bato nyonso ya Isalaele oyo bazalaki elongo na ye.
25 And Absalom set Amasa over the host instead of Joab; which Amasa was the son of a man whose name was Jithra the Israelite, that went in to Abigail the daughter of Nahash, sister to Zeruiah, Joab's mother.
Abisalomi atiaki Amasa mokonzi ya mampinga na esika ya Joabi. Amasa azalaki mwana mobali ya Yeteri, moto ya Isalaele, oyo abalaki Abigayili, mwana mwasi ya Naashi mpe ndeko mwasi ya Tseruya, mama ya Joabi.
26 And Israel and Absalom encamped in the land of Gilead.
Bato ya Isalaele mpe Abisalomi batongaki molako na bango kati na Galadi.
27 And as soon as David came to Mahanaim, Shobi the son of Nahash of Rabbah of the children of Ammon, and Machir the son of Ammiel of Lo-debar, and Barzillai the Gileadite of Rogelim,
Tango Davidi akomaki na Maanayimi, bayambaki ye epai ya Shovi, mwana mobali ya Naashi ya mboka Raba ya bato ya Amoni, epai ya Makiri, mwana mobali ya Amieli ya mboka ya Lo-Debari, mpe epai ya Barizilayi, moto ya Galadi ya mboka Rogelimi.
28 brought beds, and basons, and earthen vessels, and wheat, and barley, and flour, and parched [corn], and beans, and lentils, and parched [pulse],
Bamemaki biloko ya kolalela, bambeki, basani, ble, orje, farine, bambuma oyo bakalinga, madesu, mpe misili,
29 and honey, and cream, and sheep, and cheese of kine to David, and to the people that were with him, to eat; for they said, The people is hungry, and weary, and thirsty in the wilderness.
mafuta ya nzoyi, miliki, bameme, fromaje ya ngombe, mpo ete Davidi elongo na bato na ye balia; pamba te bazalaki kolobana bango na bango: « Solo, sima na bango kotambola kati na esobe, bato oyo balembi, bazali konyokwama na nzala mpe na posa ya mayi. »
