Numbers 14
1 Then all the people gave load cries of grief, and all that night they gave themselves up to weeping.
Bato nyonso ya lisanga batombolaki mingongo na bango mpe bakomaki kolela makasi butu mobimba.
2 And all the children of Israel, crying out against Moses and Aaron, said, If only we had come to our death in the land of Egypt, or even in this waste land!
Bato nyonso ya Isalaele bakomaki koyimayima mpo na Moyize mpe Aron, mpe lisanga mobimba ekomaki koloba: « Ah, elingaki kozala malamu soki tomikufelaki na biso na Ejipito to na esobe!
3 Why is the Lord taking us into this land to come to our death by the sword? Our wives and our little ones will get into strange hands: would it not be better for us to go back to Egypt?
Boni, Yawe amemi biso na mokili oyo kaka mpo ete tokufa na mopanga? Boye basi mpe bana na biso bakokoma kaka bomengo ya bitumba. Ekozala malamu te mpo na biso ete tozonga na biso na Ejipito? »
4 And they said to one another, Let us make a captain over us, and go back to Egypt.
Boye bakomaki kolobana bango na bango: « Tosengeli kopona mokambi mosusu mpe kozonga na Ejipito. »
5 Then Moses and Aaron went down on their faces before the meeting of the people.
Moyize mpe Aron bakweyaki elongi kino na mabele liboso ya lisanga mobimba ya bana ya Isalaele oyo basanganaki kuna.
6 And Joshua, the son of Nun, and Caleb, the son of Jephunneh, two of those who had been to see the land, giving signs of grief,
Jozue, mwana mobali ya Nuni, mpe Kalebi, mwana mobali ya Yefune, oyo bazalaki na molongo ya bato oyo bakendeki kononga mokili bapasolaki bilamba na bango
7 Said to all the children of Israel, This land which we went through to see is a very good land.
mpe balobaki na lisanga mobimba ya Isalaele: « Mokili oyo totambolaki kati na yango mpe tonongaki ezali malamu mingi penza.
8 And if the Lord has delight in us, he will take us into this land and give it to us, a land flowing with milk and honey.
Soki tozwi ngolu na miso ya Yawe, akokamba biso kino na mokili yango, mokili oyo ezali kobimisa miliki mpe mafuta ya nzoyi, mpe akopesa biso yango.
9 Only, do not go against the Lord or go in fear of the people of the land, for they will be our food; their strength has been taken from them and the Lord is with us: have no fear of them.
Kasi botombokela Yawe te mpe bobanga te bato oyo bazali na mokili yango, pamba te tokomela bango; kobatelama na bango elongwe kati na bango. Nzokande na ngambo na biso, Yawe azali elongo na biso. Bobanga bango te. »
10 But all the people said they were to be stoned. Then the glory of the Lord was seen in the Tent of meeting, before the eyes of all the children of Israel.
Wana lisanga mobimba ya Isalaele ezalaki koloba ete baboma bango na mabanga, nkembo ya Yawe emonanaki na Ndako ya kapo ya Bokutani na miso ya bato nyonso ya Isalaele.
11 And the Lord said to Moses, How long will this people have no respect for me? how long will they be without faith, in the face of all the signs I have done among them?
Yawe alobaki na Moyize: — Kino tango nini bato oyo bakotiola Ngai? Kino tango nini bakoboya penza kondimela Ngai, ezala mpo na bikamwa nyonso oyo nasali kati na bango?
12 I will send disease on them for their destruction, and take away their heritage, and I will make of you a nation greater and stronger than they.
Nakokweyisa bango na nzela ya etumbu ya bokono oyo ebomaka mpo na kobebisa bango. Kasi yo, nakokomisa yo ekolo moko monene mpe ya nguya koleka bango.
13 And Moses said to the Lord, Then it will come to the ears of the Egyptians; for by your power you took this people out from among them;
Moyize alobaki na Yawe: — Bato ya Ejipito bakoyoka yango! Nzokande ezali na nguya na Yo nde obimisaki bato oyo kati na bango.
14 And they will give the news to the people of this land: they have had word that you, Lord, are present with this people, letting yourself be seen face to face, and that your cloud is resting over them, and that you go before them in a pillar of cloud by day and in a pillar of fire by night.
Mpe bakoyebisa na bavandi ya mokili oyo makambo yango. Oh Yawe, basila koyoka wuta kala ete ozalaka elongo na bato oyo, ete Yo, oh Yawe, omimonisaki epai na bango miso na miso, ete lipata na Yo etelema likolo na bango, ete otambolaka liboso na bango kati na likonzi ya lipata, na moyi, mpe kati na likonzi ya moto, na butu.
15 Now if you put to death all this people as one man, then the nations who have had word of your glory will say,
Na bongo, soki obomi bato oyo nyonso na mbala moko, bikolo oyo eyokaki sango oyo mpo na Yo ekoloba:
16 Because the Lord was not able to take this people into the land which he made an oath to give them, he sent destruction on them in the waste land.
« Yawe azangaki penza makoki ya kokotisa bato oyo na mokili oyo alakaki, na nzela ya ndayi, ete akopesa bango yango, yango wana abomaki bango kati na esobe. »
17 So now, may my prayer come before you, and let the power of the Lord be great, as you said:
Sik’oyo, nabondeli Yo, tika ete makasi ya Nkolo emonisama na nguya na yango kolanda ndenge olobaki:
18 The Lord is slow to wrath and great in mercy, overlooking wrongdoing and evil, and will not let wrongdoers go free; sending punishment on children for the sins of their fathers, to the third and fourth generation.
« Nazali Yawe oyo asilikaka noki te, atonda na bolingo, alimbisaka masumu mpe botomboki; kasi apesaka moto oyo asali mabe etumbu, apesaka bana etumbu mpo na masumu ya batata kino na molongo ya misato mpe ya minei. »
19 May the sin of this people have forgiveness, in the measure of your great mercy, as you have had mercy on them from Egypt up till now.
Nabondeli Yo, kolanda bolingo monene na Yo, limbisa masumu ya bato oyo ndenge kaka olimbisaki bango wuta babimaki na Ejipito kino sik’oyo.
20 And the Lord said, I have had mercy, as you say:
Yawe azongisaki: — Nalimbisi bango ndenge osengi.
21 But truly, as I am living, and as all the earth will be full of the glory of the Lord;
Kasi na Kombo na Ngai, mpe lokola mokili mobimba etondi na nkembo ya Yawe,
22 Because all these men, having seen my glory and the signs which I have done in Egypt and in the waste land, still have put me to the test ten times, and have not given ear to my voice;
moko te kati na bato oyo bamonaki nkembo na Ngai mpe bikamwa oyo nasalaki kati na Ejipito mpe na esobe kasi baboyaki kotosa Ngai mpe bamekaki Ngai mbala zomi,
23 They will not see the land about which I made an oath to their fathers; not one of these by whom I have not been honoured will see it.
moko te kati na bango akomona lisusu mokili oyo nalakaki na nzela na ndayi epai ya bakoko na bango, moko te kati na ba-oyo batiolaki Ngai akomona lisusu mokili yango.
24 But my servant Caleb, because he had a different spirit in him, and has been true to me with all his heart, him I will take into that land into which he went, and his seed will have it for their heritage.
Kasi lokola Kalebi, mosali na Ngai, atambolisamaka na molimo mosusu mpe atamboli na bosembo na miso na Ngai, nakokotisa ye na mokili oyo asilaki kokende, mpe bakitani na ye bakokamata yango lokola libula.
25 Now the Amalekites and the Canaanites are in the valley; tomorrow, turning round, go into the waste land by the way to the Red Sea.
Lokola bato ya Amaleki mpe ya Kanana bazali nanu kovanda na lubwaku, bino bokobaluka mpe bokozonga lobi na tongo na esobe, na nzela oyo ekenda na ebale monene ya Barozo.
26 Then the Lord said to Moses and Aaron,
Yawe alobaki na Moyize mpe Aron:
27 How long am I to put up with this evil people and their outcries against me? The words which they say against me have come to my ears.
— Kino penza tango nini lisanga oyo ya batomboki ekokoba kotelemela Ngai? Solo, nayoki bileli mpe koyimayima ya bana ya Isalaele na tina na Ngai.
28 Say to them, By my life, says the Lord, as certainly as your words have come to my ears, so certainly will I do this to you:
Yebisa bango: « Nalapi ndayi, » elobi Yawe, « nakosalela bino makambo nyonso oyo nayoki bino koloba.
29 Your dead bodies will be stretched out in this waste land; and of all your number, all those of twenty years old and over who have been crying out against me,
Bibembe na bino ekolala na esobe oyo. Bino nyonso oyo bozali na mibu tuku mibale mpe koleka, bino oyo botangamaki na motango mpe boyimaki-yimaki mpo na Ngai,
30 Not one will come into the land which I gave my word you would have for your resting-place, but only Caleb, the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua, the son of Nun.
bokokota te na mokili oyo nalakaki na nzela ya ndayi, na kotombola loboko, ete nakokomisa yango mokili na bino, longola kaka Kalebi, mwana mobali ya Yefune, mpe Jozue, mwana mobali ya Nuni.
31 And your little ones, whom you said would come into strange hands, I will take in, and they will see the land which you would not have.
Kasi nakomema bana na bino oyo na tina na bango bolobaki ete bakozwa bango lokola bomengo ya bitumba, mpe nakokotisa bango na esengo kati na mokili yango oyo botiolaki.
32 But as for you, your dead bodies will be stretched in this waste land.
Nzokande bino, bibembe na bino ekolala na esobe oyo.
33 And your children will be wanderers in the waste land for forty years, undergoing punishment for your false ways, till your bodies become dust in the waste land.
Bana na bino bakokoma babateli bibwele awa na esobe mibu tuku minei. Lokola botamboli na bosembo te na miso na Ngai, bakomona pasi kino ebembe na bino ya suka elala na esobe.
34 And as you went through the land viewing it for forty days, so for forty years, a year for every day, you will undergo punishment for your wrongdoing, and you will see that I am against you.
Lokola bosalaki mikolo tuku minei mpo na kononga mokili, bokomona pasi mibu tuku minei mpo na masumu na bino: mobu moko mpo na mokolo moko. Na bongo bokoyeba mbano oyo ezali kati na likambo ya kotelemela Ngai.
35 I the Lord have said it, and this I will certainly do to all this evil people who have come together against me: in this waste land destruction will come on them, and death will be their fate.
Ngai Yawe nde nalobi; mpe nakosala solo makambo oyo epai ya lisanga oyo mobimba ya batomboki oyo basanganaki mpo na kotelemela Ngai. Bakomona suka na bango kati na esobe oyo; ezali awa nde bakokufa. »
36 And the men whom Moses sent to see the land, and who, by the bad account they gave of the land, were the cause of the outcry the people made against Moses,
Bato oyo Moyize atindaki mpo na kononga mokili mpe, na bozongi na bango, batindikaki lisanga mobimba na koyimayima na tina na ye wana bapanzaki sango mabe na tina na mokili;
37 Those same men who said evil of the land, came to their death by disease before the Lord.
bato oyo babimisaki maloba mabe na tina na mokili yango, bazwaki etumbu mpe bakufaki liboso ya Yawe.
38 But Joshua, the son of Nun, and Caleb, the son of Jephunneh, of those who went to see the land, were not touched by disease.
Kati na bato oyo bakendeki kononga mokili, kaka Jozue, mwana mobali ya Nuni, mpe Kalebi, mwana mobali ya Yefune, nde babikaki.
39 And when Moses put these words before the children of Israel, the people were full of grief.
Tango Moyize ayebisaki makambo oyo epai ya bato nyonso ya Isalaele, balelaki makasi.
40 And early in the morning they got up and went to the top of the mountain, saying, We are here and we will go up to the place which the Lord said he would give us: for we have done wrong.
Na tongo-tongo ya mokolo oyo elandaki, bamataki na songe ya ngomba kati na etuka ya bangomba mpe balobaki: — Solo, tosalaki masumu; kasi sik’oyo, tozali kokende kuna, na esika oyo Yawe alakaki biso.
41 And Moses said, Why are you now acting against the Lord's order, seeing that no good will come of it?
Kasi Moyize alobaki: — Mpo na nini bozali koboya kotosa mitindo ya Yawe? Likambo oyo ekolonga te!
42 Go not up, for the Lord is not with you, and you will be overcome by those who are fighting against you.
Bokende te, pamba te Yawe azali elongo na bino te; banguna na bino bakolonga bino.
43 For the Amalekites and the Canaanites are there before you, and you will be put to death by their swords: because you have gone back from the way of the Lord, the Lord will not be with you.
Bato ya Amaleki mpe ya Kanana bakokutana na bino kuna. Bongo lokola bopesaki Yawe mokongo, bokokweya na mopanga mpo ete akozala elongo na bino te.
44 But they gave no attention to his words and went to the top of the mountain, though Moses and the ark of the Lord's agreement did not go out of the tent-circle.
Na lolendo na bango, bakendeki kaka na songe ya ngomba kati na etuka ya bangomba; kasi Moyize alongwaki te na molako, ndenge moko mpe mpo na Sanduku ya Boyokani ya Yawe.
45 Then the Amalekites came down, and the Canaanites who were living in the hill-country, and overcame them completely, driving them back as far as Hormah.
Boye, bato ya Amaleki mpe ya Kanana oyo bazalaki kovanda na bangomba yango bakitelaki bango, babundisaki bango, balongaki bango mpe balandaki bango kino na Orima.
