2 Samuele 10
1 Sima na mwa tango, mokonzi ya bato ya Amoni akufaki, mpe mwana na ye ya mobali, Anuni, akitanaki na ye na bokonzi.
And it came to pass after this, that the king of the children of Ammon died, and Hanun his son reigned in his position.
2 Davidi amilobelaki: « Nakotalisa bolamu epai ya Anuni, mwana mobali ya Naashi, ndenge kaka tata na ye atalisaki ngai bolamu. » Boye Davidi atindaki bato mpo na kobondisa ye na tina na kufa ya tata na ye. Tango basali ya Davidi bakomaki na mokili ya bato ya Amoni,
Then said David, I will show kindness unto Hanun the son of Nahash, as his father showed kindness unto me. And David sent to comfort him by the hand of his servants for his father. And David's servants came into the land of the children of Ammon.
3 bakambi ya bato ya Amoni balobaki na Anuni, mokonzi na bango: « Okanisi ete ezali mpo na kopesa tata na yo lokumu nde Davidi atindi bato mpo na kobondisa yo? Ezali mpo na kononga engumba mpe kobebisa yango nde Davidi atindi bango epai na yo? »
And the princes of the children of Ammon said unto Hanun their lord, Think you that David does honour your father, that he has sent comforters unto you? has not David rather sent his servants unto you, to search the city, and to spy it out, and to overthrow it?
4 Boye, Anuni akangaki basali ya Davidi, akataki bango kati-kati ya mandefu, akataki bango bilamba kino na loketo mpe abenganaki bango.
Wherefore Hanun took David's servants, and shaved off the one half of their beards, and cut off their garments in the middle, even to their buttocks, and sent them away.
5 Tango bayebisaki Davidi likambo yango, atindaki bato mosusu mpo na kokende kokutana na bato wana, pamba te basambwisaki bango makasi. Mokonzi atindelaki bango maloba oyo: « Bovanda na Jeriko kino mandefu na bino ekobota lisusu, sima nde bokozonga. »
When they told it unto David, he sent to meet them, because the men were greatly ashamed: and the king said, Tarry at Jericho until your beards be grown, and then return.
6 Tango bato ya Amoni basosolaki ete bamikomisi bato mabe na miso ya Davidi, bakotisaki bato ya sika na mosala ya soda, oyo bakobanda kobunda bitumba na makolo: epai ya bato ya Siri ya Beti-Reobi mpe ya Tsoba, bato nkoto tuku mibale; epai ya mokonzi ya Maaka, bato nkoto moko; epai ya mokonzi ya Tobi, bato nkoto zomi na mibale.
And when the children of Ammon saw that they stank before David, the children of Ammon sent and hired the Syrians of Bethrehob and the Syrians of Zoba, twenty thousand footmen, and of king Maacah a thousand men, and of Ishtob twelve thousand men.
7 Tango kaka Davidi ayokaki bongo, atindaki Joabi elongo na mampinga nyonso ya basoda ya mpiko.
And when David heard of it, he sent Joab, and all the host of the mighty men.
8 Bato ya Amoni babimaki mpe batandamaki na milongo mpo na bitumba, na ekuke ya engumba mokonzi na bango. Na tango wana, bato ya Siri ya Tsoba mpe ya Reobi elongo na basoda ya Tobi mpe Maaka bazalaki na esika mosusu, kati na zamba.
And the children of Ammon came out, and put the battle in array at the entering in of the gate: and the Syrians of Zoba, and of Rehob, and Ishtob, and Maacah, were by themselves in the field.
9 Tango Joabi amonaki ete milongo ya bitumba ezali na liboso mpe na sima na ye, aponaki basoda ya Isalaele oyo baleki na mpiko, mpe atiaki bango na milongo mpo na kobundisa bato ya Siri.
When Joab saw that the front of the battle was against him before and behind, he chose of all the choice men of Israel, and put them in array against the Syrians:
10 Atiaki basoda oyo batikalaki na se ya bokonzi ya ndeko na ye ya mobali, Abishayi; mpe atandaki bango na milongo ya bitumba mpo na kobundisa bato ya Amoni.
And the rest of the people he delivered into the hand of Abishai his brother, that he might put them in array against the children of Ammon.
11 Joabi alobaki: « Soki bato ya Siri baleki ngai na makasi, yo okoya kosunga ngai; kasi soki bato ya Amoni baleki yo na makasi, wana ngai nakoya kosunga yo.
And he said, If the Syrians be too strong for me, then you shall help me: but if the children of Ammon be too strong for you, then I will come and help you.
12 Yika mpiko, mpe tobunda lokola bilombe mpo na bato na biso mpe mpo na bingumba ya Nzambe na biso. Tika ete Yawe asala oyo ezali malamu na miso na Ye. »
Be of good courage, and let us play the men for our people, and for the cities of our God: and the LORD do that which seems him good.
13 Bongo Joabi mpe basoda oyo bazalaki elongo na ye bapusanaki mpo na kobundisa bato ya Siri; mpe bato yango ya Siri bakimaki liboso na ye.
And Joab drew nigh, and the people that were with him, unto the battle against the Syrians: and they fled before him.
14 Tango bato ya Amoni bamonaki bato ya Siri kokima, bango mpe bakimaki liboso ya Abishayi mpe bazongaki kati na engumba. Bongo, sima na Joabi kowuta kobundisa bato ya Amoni, azongaki na Yelusalemi.
And when the children of Ammon saw that the Syrians were fled, then fled they also before Abishai, and entered into the city. So Joab returned from the children of Ammon, and came to Jerusalem.
15 Tango bato ya Siri bamonaki ete Isalaele alongi bango, basanganaki.
And when the Syrians saw that they were smitten before Israel, they gathered themselves together.
16 Adadezeri atindaki bantoma kobenga bato ya Siri oyo bazalaki na ngambo mosusu ya ebale. Mpe bayaki na Elami. Tsobaki, mokonzi ya mampinga ya Adadezeri, azalaki liboso na bango.
And Hadarezer sent, and brought out the Syrians that were beyond the river: and they came to Helam; and Shobach the captain of the host of Hadarezer went before them.
17 Tango Davidi azwaki sango yango, asangisaki bato nyonso ya Isalaele, akatisaki Yordani mpe akomaki na Elami. Bato ya Siri basalaki milongo liboso ya Davidi mpe babundisaki ye.
And when it was told David, he gathered all Israel together, and passed over Jordan, and came to Helam. And the Syrians set themselves in array against David, and fought with him.
18 Kasi bato ya Siri bakimaki liboso ya Isalaele, mpe Davidi abomaki bampunda nkama sambo oyo ezalaki komema bashar mpe basoda nkoto tuku minei oyo babundaka bitumba na likolo ya bampunda. Davidi abetaki mpe Tsobaki, mokonzi na bango ya mampinga, mpe akufaki wana.
And the Syrians fled before Israel; and David slew the men of seven hundred chariots of the Syrians, and forty thousand horsemen, and stroke Shobach the captain of their host, who died there.
19 Tango bakonzi nyonso oyo bazalaki na se ya bokonzi ya Adadezeri bamonaki ete Isalaele alongi bango, basalaki kimia elongo na bato ya Isalaele mpe bakomaki kosalela Isalaele. Bongo bato ya Siri bakomaki kobanga kosunga bato ya Amoni.
And when all the kings that were servants to Hadarezer saw that they were smitten before Israel, they made peace with Israel, and served them. So the Syrians feared to help the children of Ammon any more.
