2 Samuel 15
1 Now after these things Absalom made himself chariots, and horsemen, 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 And Absalom rising up early stood by the entrance of the gate, and when any man had business to come to the king’s judgment, Absalom called him to him, and said: Of what city art thou? He answered, and said: Thy servant is of such a tribe 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 And Absalom answered him: Thy words seem to me good and just. But there is no man appointed by the king to hear thee. And Absalom said:
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 O that they would make me judge over the land, that all that have business might come to me, that I might do them 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 Moreover when any man came to him to salute him, he put forth his hand, and took 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 And this he did to all Israel that came for judgment, to be heard by the king, and he enticed 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 And after forty years, Absalom said to king David: Let me go, and pay my vows which I have vowed to the Lord 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 thy servant made avow, when he was in Gessur of Syria, saying: If the Lord shall bring me again into Jerusalem I will offer sacrifice to the Lord.
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 And king David said to him: Go in peace. And he arose, and went to Hebron.
Mokonzi alobaki na ye: — Kende na kimia. Boye akendeki na Ebron.
10 And Absalom sent spies into all the tribes of Israel, saying: As soon as you shall hear the sound of the trumpet, say ye: Absalom reigneth 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 Now there went with Absalom two hundred men out of Jerusalem that were called, going with simplicity of heart, and knowing nothing of the design.
Mibali nkama mibale babengisamaki wuta na Yelusalemi mpe bakendeki elongo na Abisalomi. Bakendeki na boboto mpe bayebaki ata likambo moko te.
12 Absalom also sent for Achitophel the Gilonite, David’s counsellor, from his city Gilo. And while he was offering sacrifices, there was a strong conspiracy, and the people running together increased 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 And there came a messenger to David, saying: All Israel with their whole heart followeth Absalom.
Ntoma moko ayaki koyebisa Davidi: — Mitema ya bato ya Isalaele esangani elongo na Abisalomi.
14 And David said to his servants, that were with him in Jerusalem: Arise and let us flee: for we shall not escape else from the face of Absalom: make haste to go out, lest he come and overtake us, and bring ruin upon us, and smite 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 And the king’s servants said to him: Whatsoever our lord the king shall command, we thy servants will willingly execute.
Bakalaka ya mokonzi bazongiselaki Davidi: — Basali na yo bazali ya kobongama mpo na kosala makambo nyonso oyo mokonzi, nkolo na biso, akopona.
16 And the king went forth, and all his household on foot: and the king left ten women his 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 And the king going forth and all Israel on foot, stood afar off from the house:
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 And all his servants walked by him, and the bands of the Cerethi, and the Phelethi, and all the Gethites, valiant warriors, six hundred men who had followed him from Geth on foot, went 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 And the king said to Ethai the Gethite: Why comest thou with us? return and dwell with the king, for thou art a stranger, and art come out of thy 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 Yesterday thou camest, and today shalt thou be forced to go forth with us? but I shall go whither I am going: return thou, and take back thy brethren with thee, and the Lord will shew thee mercy, and truth, because thou hast shewn grace and fidelity.
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 And Ethai answered the king, saying: As the Lord liveth, and as my lord the king liveth: in what place soever thou shalt be, my lord, O king, either in death, or in life, there will thy servant be.
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 And David said to Ethai: Come, and pass over. And Ethai the Gethite passed, and all the men that were with him, and the rest of the people.
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 And they all wept with a loud voice, and all the people passed over: the king also himself went over the brook Cedron, and all the people marched towards the way that looketh to the desert.
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 And Sadoc the priest also came, and all the Levites with him carrying the ark of the covenant of God, and they set down the ark of God: and Abiathar went up, till all the people that was come out of the city had done passing.
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 And the king said to Sadoc: Carry back the ark of God into the city: if I shall find grace in the sight of the Lord, he will bring me again, and he will shew me it, and his tabernacle.
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 shall say to me: Thou pleasest me not: I am ready, let him do that which is good before 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 And the king said to Sadoc the priest: O seer, return into the city in peace: and let Achimaas thy son, and Jonathan the son of Abiathar, your two sons, be with you.
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 lie hid in the plains of the wilderness, till there come word from you to certify me.
Nakozela na bitando ya esobe kino nakoyoka liloba kowuta epai na bino.
29 So Sadoc and Abiathar carried back the ark of God into Jerusalem: and they tarried there.
Boye Tsadoki mpe Abiatari bazongisaki Sanduku ya Nzambe, na Yelusalemi, mpe batikalaki kuna.
30 But David went up by the ascent of mount Olivet, going up and weeping, walking barefoot, and with his head covered, and all the people that were with them, went up with their heads covered weeping.
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 And it was told David that Achitophel also was in the conspiracy with Absalom, and David said: Infatuate, O Lord, I beseech thee, the counsel of Achitophel.
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 And when David was come to the top of the mountain, where he was about to adore the Lord, behold Chusai the Arachite, came to meet him with his garment rent and his head covered with earth.
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 And David said to him: If thou come with me, thou wilt be a burden to me:
Davidi alobaki na ye: — Soki okeyi elongo na ngai, okozala mokumba mpo na ngai.
34 But if thou return into the city, and wilt say to Absalom: I am thy servant, O king: as I have been thy father’s servant, so I will be thy servant: thou shalt defeat the counsel of Achitophel.
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 And thou hast with thee Sadoc, and Abiathar the priests: and what thing soever thou shalt hear out of the king’s house, thou shalt tell it to Sadoc 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 And there are with them their two sons Achimaas the son of Sadoc, and Jonathan the son of Abiathar: and you shall send by them to me every thing that you shall hear.
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 Then Chusai the friend of David went 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.
