1 Samuele 30

1 Davidi mpe bato na ye bakomaki na Tsikilagi, na mokolo ya misato. Na tango wana mpe, bato ya Amaleki bakotaki na ngambo ya Sude mpe na Tsikilagi. Babundisaki Tsikilagi mpe batumbaki yango.

It happened, when David and his men had come to Ziklag on the third day, that Amalek had made a raid on the Negev, and on Ziklag, and had struck Ziklag, and burned it with fire,

2 Bakangaki na bowumbu basi mpe bato nyonso oyo bazalaki kuna, ezala bilenge to mikolo, kasi babomaki moko te kati na bango. Bamemaki bango mpe bazongelaki nzela na bango.

and had taken captive the women and all who were in it, both small and great. They did not kill any, but carried them off, and went their way.

3 Tango Davidi mpe bato na ye bakomaki na engumba Tsikilagi, bakutaki yango ebebisama na moto. Basi na bango, bana na bango ya mibali mpe ya basi bakomaki bawumbu.

When David and his men came to the city, look, it was burned with fire; and their wives, and their sons, and their daughters, were taken captive.

4 Davidi mpe bato na ye balelaki makasi kino bazangaki makasi ya kolela.

Then David and the people who were with him lifted up their voice and wept, until they had no more power to weep.

5 Bamemaki mpe na bowumbu basi mibale ya Davidi: Ayinoami, moto ya Jizireyeli; mpe Abigayili, moto ya Karimeli, oyo akufisaki mobali, Nabali.

David's two wives were taken captive, Ahinoam the Jezreelite and Abigail the wife of Nabal the Carmelite.

6 Davidi ayokaki pasi makasi na motema, pamba te bato bazalaki komibongisa mpo na koboma ye na mabanga, mpo ete moto nyonso azalaki na pasi na motema mpo na bana na ye ya mibali mpe ya basi. Kasi Davidi amilendisaki kati na Yawe, Nzambe na ye.

David was greatly distressed; for the people spoke of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was grieved, every man for his sons and for his daughters: but David strengthened himself in Jehovah his God.

7 Boye Davidi alobaki na Nganga-Nzambe Abiatari, mwana mobali ya Ayimeleki: « Memela ngai efode. » Mpe Abiatari amemelaki ye yango.

David said to Abiathar the priest, the son of Ahimelech, "Please bring me here the ephod." Abiathar brought the ephod to David.

8 Bongo Davidi atunaki Yawe: — Nakoki na ngai kolanda lisanga oyo ya miyibi? Nakokoka na ngai kokanga bango? Yawe azongiselaki ye: — Landa bango, okokanga bango solo mpe okokangola bakangami.

David inquired of Jehovah, saying, "If I pursue after this troop, shall I overtake them?" He answered him, "Pursue; for you shall surely overtake them, and shall without fail recover all."

9 Davidi akendeki elongo na basoda na ye, nkama motoba. Bakomaki na moluka ya lubwaku ya Besori epai wapi ba-oyo bazalaki kotikala na sima batelemaki;

So David went, he and the six hundred men who were with him, and came to the Wadi Besor, where those who were left behind stayed.

10 pamba te mibali nkama mibale balembaki makasi, bongo bakokaki te kokatisa moluka. Kasi Davidi elongo na basoda na ye, nkama minei, bakobaki kolanda.

But David pursued, he and four hundred men; for two hundred stayed behind, who were so faint that they couldn't cross the Wadi Besor.

11 Basoda ya Davidi bakutanaki na mobali moko ya Ejipito kati na zamba mpe bamemaki ye epai ya Davidi. Bapesaki ye mayi ya komela mpe biloko ya kolia.

They found an Egyptian in the field, and brought him to David, and gave him bread, and he ate; and they gave him water to drink.

12 Bapesaki ye gato basala na bambuma ya figi mpe maboke mibale ya bambuma ya vino ekawuka. Sima na ye kolia yango, azwaki lisusu makasi, pamba te aliaki te mpe amelaki te wuta mikolo misato mpe babutu misato.

They gave him a piece of a cake of figs, and two clusters of raisins. When he had eaten, his spirit came again to him; for he had eaten no bread, nor drunk any water, three days and three nights.

13 Davidi atunaki ye: — Ozali na ngambo ya banani mpe owuti wapi? Azongiselaki ye: — Nazali moto ya Ejipito mpe mowumbu ya moto moko ya Amaleki. Esali mikolo misato wuta nkolo na ngai atikalaki kosundola ngai mpo ete nazalaki kobela.

David asked him, "To whom do you belong? Where are you from?" He said, "I am a young man of Egypt, servant to an Amalekite; and my master left me, because three days ago I fell sick.

14 Tokotaki na ngambo ya Sude ya bato ya Kereti, ya etuka ya Yuda, mpe na ngambo ya Sude ya Kalebi; mpe totumbaki na moto Tsikilagi.

We made a raid on the Negev of the Kerethites, and on that which belongs to Judah, and on the Negev of Caleb; and we burned Ziklag with fire."

15 Davidi atunaki ye: — Okoki komema ngai na bisika oyo lisanga ya miyibi wana ezali? Azongisaki: — Yo, lapa nanu ndayi epai na ngai liboso ya Nzambe ete okoboma ngai te mpe okozongisa ngai te epai ya nkolo na ngai; bongo ngai nakomema yo epai bango bazali.

David said to him, "Will you bring me down to this troop?" He said, "Swear to me by God that you will neither kill me, nor deliver me up into the hands of my master, and I will bring you down to this troop." And he swore to him.

16 Boye amemaki Davidi na esika oyo bato ya Amaleki bazalaki. Mpe bamonaki ete bazalaki ya kopanzana na mboka mobimba, bazalaki kolia, komela mpe kobina mpo na ebele ya bomengo ya bitumba oyo babotolaki na mokili ya bato ya Filisitia mpe ya Yuda.

When he had brought him down, look, they were spread around over all the ground, eating, drinking, and dancing, because of all the great spoil that they had taken out of the land of the Philistines, and out of the land of Judah.

17 Davidi alongaki bango kobanda na tongo kino na pokwa ya mokolo oyo elandaki. Moko te abikaki, longola kaka bilenge mibali nkama minei oyo bamataki na likolo ya bashamo mpe bakimaki.

David struck them from the twilight even to the evening of the next day and he put them to death. Not a man of them escaped from there, except four hundred young men, who rode on camels and fled.

18 Davidi akangolaki biloko nyonso oyo bato ya Amaleki bazwaki elongo na basi na ye mibale.

He recovered all that the Amalekites had taken; and David rescued his two wives.

19 Moto na bango moko te azangaki: ezala elenge, mokolo, mwana mobali, mwana mwasi, eloko moko kati na bomengo ya bitumba to eloko moko kati na biloko oyo babotolaki bango. Davidi azongaki na biloko nyonso.

There was nothing lacking to them, neither small nor great, neither sons nor daughters, neither spoil, nor anything that they had taken to them. David brought back all.

20 Davidi akamataki bameme mpe bangombe nyonso. Bato oyo bazalaki kotambola liboso ya bibwele mpo na kolakisa yango nzela bazalaki koloba: « Tala bomengo ya bitumba ya Davidi. »

He took all the flocks and the herds, which they drove before those other livestock, and said, "This is David's spoil."

21 Bongo Davidi akomaki epai ya mibali nkama mibale oyo bakokaki kolanda ye te mpo ete balembaki makasi, mpe batikaki bango na lubwaku ya Besori. Mibali yango babimaki mpo na koyamba Davidi mpe bato oyo bazalaki elongo na ye. Boye Davidi mpe bato na ye bapusanaki mpe bapesaki bango mbote.

David came to the two hundred men, who were so faint that they could not follow David, whom he also had made to stay at the Wadi Besor; and they went forth to meet David, and to meet the people who were with him. And when David came near to the people, he greeted them.

22 Kasi kati na bato oyo bakendeki elongo na Davidi, bato nyonso ya mabe mpe batomboki balobaki: — Lokola bakendeki na biso te, tokoki kokabola na bango te bomengo ya bitumba. Tika ete moto na moto azwa kaka mwasi na ye elongo na bana na ye mpe akende.

Then every wicked and worthless one of the men who had gone with David answered, and they said, "Because they did not go with us, we will not give them anything of the spoil that we have recovered, except to each man his wife and his children. And let them take them, and depart."

23 Kasi Davidi alobaki: — Te, bandeko na ngai ya mibali! Bokoki kosala boye te mpo na biloko oyo Yawe apesi biso! Pamba te abateli biso mpe akabi na maboko na biso mampinga nyonso oyo eyaki kobundisa biso.

Then David said, "You shall not do so after what Jehovah has given to us, who has preserved us, and delivered into our hand the raiding party that came against us.

24 Nani akoki kondima bino na makambo oyo bozali koloba? Eteni ya moto oyo atikalaki kokengela biloko mpe eteni ya moto oyo akendeki na bitumba esengeli kozala ndenge moko. Tokokabola nyonso ndenge moko.

So who will listen to you in this matter? For they are not inferior to you. For as his share is who goes down to the battle, so will his share be who remains with the supplies; they will share alike."

25 Kobanda mokolo wana kino lelo, Davidi akomisaki yango mobeko mpe malako kati na Isalaele.

It was so from that day forward, that he made it a statute and an ordinance for Israel to this day.

26 Tango Davidi akomaki na Tsikilagi, atindaki ndambo ya bomengo ya bitumba epai ya bampaka ya Yuda, oyo bazalaki baninga na ye. Alobaki: « Tala kado mpo na bino kowuta na bomengo ya bitumba ya banguna ya Yawe. »

When David came to Ziklag, he sent of the spoil to the elders of Judah and to his friends, saying, "Look, a present for you of the spoil of the enemies of Jehovah."

27 Atindaki ndambo epai ya ba-oyo bazalaki na Beteli, na ngambo ya sude ya Ramoti mpe na Yatiri;

He sent it to those who were in Bethel, and to those who were in Ramath Negev, and to those who were in Jattir,

28 mpe epai ya ba-oyo bazalaki na Aroeri, na Sipimoti, na Eshitemoa;

and to those who were in Aroer, and to those who were in Siphmoth, and to those who were in Eshtemoa,

29 mpe epai ya ba-oyo bazalaki na Rakali, kati na bingumba ya bato ya Yerameeli, ya bato ya Keni;

and to those who were in Racal, and to those who were in the cities of the Jerahmeelites, and to those who were in the cities of the Kenizzites.

30 epai ya ba-oyo bazalaki na Orima, na Bori-Ashani, na Ataki;

and to those who were in Hormah, and to those who were in Bor Ashan, and to those who were in Athach,

31 epai ya ba-oyo bazalaki na Ebron mpe na bisika nyonso oyo Davidi mpe bato na ye balekaki.

and to those who were in Hebron, and to all the places where David himself and his men used to stay.
