Numbers 20
1 In the first month, the whole congregation of Israel entered the Wilderness of Zin and stayed in Kadesh. There Miriam died and was buried.
Na sanza ya liboso, lisanga mobimba ya Isalaele ekomaki na esobe ya Tsini mpe bavandaki na Kadeshi. Ezalaki kuna nde Miriami akufaki mpe bakundaki ye.
2 Now there was no water for the congregation, so they gathered against Moses and Aaron.
Nzokande esika yango ezalaki na mayi ya komela te mpo na lisanga ya Isalaele, mpe bato basanganaki mpo na kotombokela Moyize mpe Aron.
3 The people quarreled with Moses and said, “If only we had perished with our brothers before the LORD!
Baswanisaki Moyize mpe balobaki: « Elingaki kozala malamu soki tokufaki na biso tango bandeko na biso bakufaki liboso ya Yawe!
4 Why have you brought the LORD’s assembly into this wilderness for us and our livestock to die here?
Mpo na nini omemaki lisanga ya Yawe na esobe oyo? Ezali mpo ete biso mpe bibwele na biso tokufa awa?
5 Why have you led us up out of Egypt to bring us to this wretched place? It is not a place of grain, figs, vines, or pomegranates—and there is no water to drink!”
Mpo na nini obimisaki biso na Ejipito mpe omemi biso na esika oyo ya pasi, esika oyo bakoki kutu kolona ata eloko moko te, esika oyo ezanga ata mbuma ya figi to ya vino to mpe ya grenade, esika oyo ezanga kutu ata mayi ya komela? »
6 Then Moses and Aaron went from the presence of the assembly to the entrance to the Tent of Meeting. They fell facedown, and the glory of the LORD appeared to them.
Moyize mpe Aron babimaki kati ya lingomba mpe bakendeki na ekuke ya Ndako ya kapo ya Bokutani, bakweyaki elongi kino na mabele, mpe nkembo ya Yawe ebimelaki bango.
7 And the LORD said to Moses,
Yawe alobaki na Moyize:
8 “Take the staff and assemble the congregation. You and your brother Aaron are to speak to the rock while they watch, and it will pour out its water. You will bring out water from the rock and provide drink for the congregation and their livestock.”
« Zwa lingenda na yo; bongo elongo na Aron, ndeko na yo ya mobali, bosangisa lisanga mobimba esika moko. Boloba na libanga wana na miso na bango, mpe ekobimisa mayi wuta na yango. Okobimisa mayi na libanga mpo ete bato ya lisanga mobimba bakoka komela elongo na bibwele na bango. »
9 So Moses took the staff from the LORD’s presence, just as he had been commanded.
Moyize azwaki lingenda oyo ezalaki liboso ya Yawe, ndenge kaka Yawe atindaki ye.
10 Then Moses and Aaron gathered the assembly in front of the rock, and Moses said to them, “Listen now, you rebels, must we bring you water out of this rock?”
Ye mpe Aron basangisaki lisanga ya bato esika moko liboso ya libanga, mpe Moyize alobaki na bango: « Boyoka, bino batomboki, tokoki kobimisela bino mayi na libanga oyo? »
11 Then Moses raised his hand and struck the rock twice with his staff, so that a great amount of water gushed out, and the congregation and their livestock were able to drink.
Moyize atombolaki loboko na ye mpe abetaki lingenda na ye na libanga mbala mibale. Mayi ebimaki; bongo lisanga mobimba elongo na bibwele na bango bamelaki.
12 But the LORD said to Moses and Aaron, “Because you did not trust Me to show My holiness in the sight of the Israelites, you will not bring this assembly into the land that I have given them.”
Kasi Yawe alobaki na Moyize mpe Aron: « Lokola bondimeli Ngai te mpe bopesi lokumu na bosantu na Ngai te na miso ya bana ya Isalaele, bokokotisa lisusu lingomba oyo te na mokili oyo napesi bango. »
13 These were the waters of Meribah, where the Israelites quarreled with the LORD, and He showed His holiness among them.
Ezalaki mayi ya Meriba epai wapi bana ya Isalaele baswanaki na Yawe, mpe epai wapi Yawe alakisaki bosantu na Ye kati na bango.
14 From Kadesh, Moses sent messengers to tell the king of Edom, “This is what your brother Israel says: You know all the hardship that has befallen us,
Wuta na Kadeshi, Moyize atindaki bantoma epai ya mokonzi ya Edomi mpe alobaki: — Tala maloba oyo ndeko na yo, Isalaele, alobi: « Oyebi pasi nyonso oyo ekomelaki biso.
15 how our fathers went down to Egypt, where we lived many years. The Egyptians mistreated us and our fathers,
Bakoko na biso bakendeki na Ejipito mpe tokomaki kovanda kuna mibu ebele. Bato ya Ejipito banyokolaki biso elongo na bakoko na biso;
16 and when we cried out to the LORD, He heard our voice, sent an angel, and brought us out of Egypt. Now look, we are in Kadesh, a city on the edge of your territory.
kasi tango togangaki epai na Yawe, ayokaki kolela na biso, atindelaki biso anjelu oyo abimisaki biso na Ejipito. Sik’oyo tozali awa na kadeshi, engumba oyo ezali na suka ya mokili na yo.
17 Please let us pass through your land. We will not cut through any field or vineyard, or drink water from any well. We will stay on the King’s Highway; we will not turn to the right or to the left until we have passed through your territory.”
Tobondeli yo, tika biso tolekela na mboka na yo. Tokokota na elanga to na elanga ya vino moko te mpe tokomela mayi ya mabulu na bino te. Tokotambola kaka pembeni-pembeni ya nzela ya monene ya mokonzi bongo, tokokatisa ezala na ngambo ya loboko ya mobali to ya mwasi te, kino tokosilisa kokatisa mokili na yo. »
18 But Edom answered, “You may not travel through our land, or we will come out and confront you with the sword.”
Kasi mokonzi ya Edomi azongiselaki ye: — Okoki kolekela na mokili na ngai te; soki omeki, tokobimela bino mpe tokobundisa bino na mopanga.
19 “We will stay on the main road,” the Israelites replied, “and if we or our herds drink your water, we will pay for it. There will be no problem; only let us pass through on foot.”
Bana ya Isalaele bazongiselaki ye: — Tokotambola kaka pembeni-pembeni ya nzela ya monene mpe soki biso to bibwele na biso tomeli mayi na bino, tokofuta yango. Tolingi kaka eloko moko, eloko mosusu te: toleka kaka na makolo.
20 But Edom insisted, “You may not pass through.” And they came out to confront the Israelites with a large army and a strong hand.
Azongiselaki bango lisusu: — Bokoki kolekela awa te. Boye, bato ya Edomi babimelaki bango na mampinga monene ya basoda mpo na kobundisa bana ya Isalaele.
21 So Edom refused to allow Israel to pass through their territory, and Israel turned away from them.
Lokola Edomi eboyaki ete bana ya Isalaele balekela na etuka na yango, bana ya Isalaele bazwaki nzela mosusu.
22 After they had set out from Kadesh, the whole congregation of Israel came to Mount Hor.
Lisanga mobimba ya Isalaele babimaki wuta na Kadeshi mpe bakomaki kino na ngomba Ori.
23 And at Mount Hor, near the border of the land of Edom, the LORD said to Moses and Aaron,
Bongo, Yawe alobaki na Moyize mpe Aron na ngomba Ori, pembeni ya mondelo ya Edomi:
24 “Aaron will be gathered to his people; he will not enter the land that I have given the Israelites, because both of you rebelled against My command at the waters of Meribah.
« Aron alingi kokende kokutana na bakoko na ye, pamba te akokota te na mokili oyo napesi bana ya Isalaele, mpo ete bino mibale botombokelaki mitindo na Ngai na mayi ya Meriba.
25 Take Aaron and his son Eleazar and bring them up Mount Hor.
Kamata Aron na Eleazari, mwana na ye ya mobali mpe mema bango likolo ya ngomba Ori.
26 Remove Aaron’s priestly garments and put them on his son Eleazar. Aaron will be gathered to his people and will die there.”
Longola Aron bilamba na ye mpe latisa yango Eleazari, mwana na ye ya mobali, pamba te Aron alingi kokende kokutana na bakoko na ye, akokufa kuna. »
27 So Moses did as the LORD had commanded, and they climbed Mount Hor in the sight of the whole congregation.
Moyize asalaki ndenge kaka Yawe atindaki: bamataki likolo ya ngomba Ori na miso ya lisanga mobimba.
28 After Moses had removed Aaron’s garments and put them on his son Eleazar, Aaron died there on top of the mountain. Then Moses and Eleazar came down from the mountain.
Moyize alongolaki Aron bilamba mpe alatisaki yango Eleazari, mwana na ye ya mobali. Mpe Aron akufa kuna na likolo ya ngomba. Boye, Moyize mpe Eleazari bakitaki ngomba;
29 When the whole congregation saw that Aaron had died, the entire house of Israel mourned for him thirty days.
mpe tango lingomba mobimba eyokaki sango ete Aron asilaki kokufa, bato nyonso ya Isalaele basalelaki ye matanga ya mikolo tuku misato.
