< Numbers 31 >

1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
Yawe alobaki na Moyize:
2 Avenge the wrongs of the children of Israel on the Madianites, and afterwards thou shalt be added to thy people.
« Zongisa mabe na mabe oyo bato ya Madiani basalaki bana ya Isalaele, mpe na sima, okokende kosangana na bakoko na yo na mokili ya bakufi. »
3 And Moses spoke to the people, saying, Arm some of you, and set yourselves in array before the Lord against Madian, to inflict vengeance on Madian from the Lord.
Boye Moyize alobaki na bato: « Tika ete mibali kati na bino balata bibundeli mpo na kokende kobundisa mokili ya Madiani mpe kozongisela bango mabe na mabe, na Kombo na Yawe.
4 Send a thousand of each tribe from all the tribes of the children of Israel to set themselves in array.
Libota moko na moko ya Isalaele ekotinda basoda nkoto moko na etumba. »
5 And they numbered of the thousands of Israel a thousand of [each] tribe, twelve thousands; [these were] armed for war.
Boye, baponaki bato nkoto moko mpo na libota moko na moko kati na mabota ya Isalaele. Bongo, bato nkoto zomi na mibale balataki bibundeli mpo na kokende na etumba.
6 And Moses sent them away a thousand of every tribe with their forces, and Phinees the son of Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest: and the holy instruments, and the signal trumpets [were] in their hands.
Moyize atindaki bango na etumba bato nkoto moko ya libota moko na moko elongo na Nganga-Nzambe Pineasi, mwana mobali ya Eleazari oyo amemaki bisalelo ya Esika ya bule mpe bakelelo mpo na kopesa mbela.
7 And they set themselves in array against Madian, as the Lord commanded Moses; and they slew every male.
Babundisaki Madiani ndenge Yawe atindaki na nzela ya Moyize mpe babomaki mibali nyonso.
8 And they slew the kings of Madian together with their slain [subjects]; even Evi and Rocon, and Sur, and Ur, and Roboc, five kings of Madian; and they slew with the sword Balaam the son of Beor with their [other] slain.
Kati na molongo ya bato oyo babomaki, ezalaki na bakonzi ya Madiani oyo: Evi, Rekemi, Tsuri, Wuri mpe Reba. Babomaki mpe lisusu Balami, mwana mobali ya Beori na mopanga.
9 And they made a prey of the women of Madian, and their store, and their cattle, and all their possessions: and they spoiled their forces.
Bana ya Isalaele bakangaki basi mpe bana ya Madiani elongo na banyama, bibwele mpe bozwi na bango nyonso lokola bomengo ya bitumba.
10 And they burnt with fire all their cities in the places of their habitation and they burnt their villages with fire.
Batumbaki bingumba nyonso epai wapi bato ya Madiani bazalaki kovanda, na milako na bango nyonso.
11 And they took all their plunder, and all their spoils, both man and beast.
Bamemaki bomengo nyonso ya bitumba mpe biloko nyonso oyo babotolaki elongo na bato, banyama;
12 And they brought to Moses and to Eleazar the priest, and to all the children of Israel, the captives, and the spoils, and the plunder, to the camp to Araboth Moab, which is at Jordan by Jericho.
mpe bamemaki bakangami, biloko babotolaki mpe bomengo ya bitumba epai ya Moyize, Nganga-Nzambe Eleazari, mpe lisanga ya Isalaele na molako na bango oyo ezalaki na bitando ya Moabi, na libongo ya Yordani, pene ya Jeriko.
13 And Moses and Eleazar the priest and all the rulers of the synagogue went forth out of the camp to meet them.
Moyize, Nganga-Nzambe Eleazari mpe bakambi nyonso ya lisanga ya Isalaele bayaki koyamba bango na libanda ya molako.
14 And Moses was angry with the captains of the host, the heads of thousands and the heads of hundreds who came from the battle-array.
Moyize atombokelaki bakonzi oyo baponamaki mpo na kotambolisa mampinga, bakonzi ya nkoto ya basoda mpe ya nkama ya basoda, oyo bawutaki na bitumba.
15 And Moses said to them, Why have ye saved every female alive?
Moyize atunaki bango: « Boni, botiki basi nyonso na bomoi?
16 For they were [the occasion] to the children of Israel by the word of Balaam of their revolting and despising the word of the Lord, because of Phogor; and there was a plague in the congregation of the Lord.
Ezalaki nde bango bato balandaki toli ya Balami mpe batindikaki bana ya Isalaele na kopesa Yawe mokongo, kati na makambo oyo esalemaki na Peori; mpe yango nde esalaki ete etumbu ekweya likolo ya bato na Yawe.
17 Now then slay every male in all the spoil, slay every woman, who has known the lying with man.
Sik’oyo, boboma mibali nyonso mpe basi nyonso oyo bayebi nzoto ya mibali;
18 And as for all the captivity of women, who have not known the lying with man, save ye them alive.
kasi bobatela na bomoi mpo na bino, basi nyonso oyo bayebi nanu nzoto ya mibali te.
19 And ye shall encamp outside the [great] camp seven days; every one who has slain and who touches a dead body, shall be purified on the third day, and ye and your captivity [shall purify yourselves] on the seventh day.
Moto nyonso kati na bino oyo abomaki moto to asimbaki ebembe, asengeli kozala libanda ya molako mikolo sambo. Boye, na mokolo ya misato mpe ya sambo, bosengeli komipetola, bino mpe bakangami na bino.
20 And ye shall purify every garment and every leathern utensil, and all furniture of goat skin, and every wooden vessel.
Bokopetola mpe lisusu bilamba nyonso mpe biloko nyonso oyo basala na baposo ya banyama, na suki ya bantaba to mpe na banzete. »
21 And Eleazar the priest said to the men of the host that came from the battle-array, This [is] the ordinance of the law which the Lord has commanded Moses.
Nganga-Nzambe Eleazari alobaki na basoda oyo bakendeki na bitumba: « Botala bikateli ya mobeko oyo Yawe apesaki epai ya Moyize:
22 Beside the gold, and the silver, and the brass, and the iron, and lead, and tin,
‹ Ezali kaka wolo, palata, bronze, motako, ete, mbodi
23 every thing that shall pass through the fire shall so be clean, nevertheless it shall be purified with the water of sanctification; and whatsoever will not pass through the fire shall pass through water.
mpe biloko nyonso oyo ezikaka na moto te nde bokolekisa na moto mpo na kopetola yango; bokopetola yango lisusu na mayi ya bopetolami. Kasi bokopetola na mayi biloko nyonso oyo ezikaka na moto.
24 And on the seventh day ye shall wash your garments, and be clean; and afterwards ye shall come into the camp.
Na mokolo ya sambo, bokopetola bilamba na bino mpe bokokoma peto mpe na sima nde bokoki kozonga na molako. › »
25 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
Yawe alobaki na Moyize:
26 Take the sum of the spoils of the captivity both of man and beast, thou and Eleazar the priest, and the heads of the families of the congregation.
« Yo, Moyize, mpe Nganga-Nzambe Eleazari, elongo na bakambi ya mabota ya lisanga ya Isalaele, botanga motango ya bato, ya banyama nyonso oyo bakangaki.
27 And ye shall divide the spoils between the warriors that went out to battle, and the whole congregation.
Kabola bomengo ya bitumba yango kati na basoda oyo bakendeki na bitumba mpe bato ya lisanga ya Isalaele oyo batikalaki.
28 And ye shall take a tribute for the Lord from the warriors that went out to battle; one soul out of five hundred, from the men, and from the cattle, even from the oxen, and from the sheep, and from the asses; and ye shall take from their half.
Na ndambo eteni oyo okopesa na basoda oyo bakendeki na bitumba, tia pembeni lokola mpako mpo na Yawe, moto moko kati na bato nkama mitano, ebwele moko kati na bibwele nkama mitano, ezala ya ngombe, ya ane, ya meme to ya bantaba.
29 And thou shalt give [them] to Eleazar the priest [as] the first-fruits of the Lord.
Kamata mpako yango kati na ndambo ya eteni na bango mpe pesa yango epai ya Nganga-Nzambe Eleazari lokola eteni ya Yawe.
30 And from the half belonging to the children of Israel thou shalt take one in fifty from the men, and from the oxen, and from the sheep, and from the asses, and from all the cattle; and thou shalt give them to the Levites that keep the charges in the tabernacle of the Lord.
Kamata kati na ndambo ya eteni ya bana ya Isalaele, moko kati na tuku mitano, ezala ya bato, ya ngombe, ya ane, ya meme, ya bantaba to ya bibwele mosusu mpe pesa yango epai ya Balevi oyo bazali na mokumba ya kobatela Mongombo na Yawe. »
31 And Moses and Eleazar the priest did as the Lord commanded Moses.
Moyize mpe Nganga-Nzambe Eleazari basalaki ndenge Yawe atindaki Moyize.
32 And that which remained of the spoil which the warriors took, was—of the sheep, six hundred and seventy-five thousand:
Bomengo ya bitumba oyo etikalaki na oyo basoda oyo bakendeki na bitumba babotolaki ezalaki: meme na bantaba nkoto nkama motoba na tuku sambo na mitano;
33 and oxen, seventy-two thousand:
ngombe nkoto tuku sambo na mibale;
34 and asses, sixty-one thousand.
ane nkoto tuku motoba na moko
35 And persons of women who had not known lying with man, all the souls, thirty-two thousand.
mpe basi oyo bayebi nanu nzoto ya mibali te nkoto tuku misato na mibale.
36 And the half, [even] the portion of them that went out to war, from the number of the sheep, was three hundred and thirty-seven thousand and five hundred.
Ndambo ya eteni ya bomengo ya bitumba oyo bato oyo bakendeki na bitumba bazwaki ezalaki: bameme mpe bantaba nkoto nkama misato na tuku misato na sambo na nkama mitano;
37 And the tribute to the Lord from the sheep was six hundred and seventy-five.
mpe mpako mpo na Yawe ezalaki: bameme mpe bantaba nkama motoba na tuku sambo na mitano;
38 And the oxen, six and thirty thousand, and the tribute to the Lord seventy-two.
bangombe nkoto tuku misato na motoba, mpe mpako mpo na Yawe ezalaki: bangombe tuku sambo na mibale;
39 And asses, thirty thousand and five hundred, and the tribute to the Lord, sixty-one:
ba-ane nkoto tuku misato na nkama mitano, mpe mpako mpo na Yawe ezalaki: ba-ane tuku motoba na moko;
40 and the persons, sixteen thousand, and the tribute of them to the Lord, thirty-two souls.
bato nkoto zomi na motoba, mpe mpako mpo na Yawe ezalaki: bato tuku misato na mibale.
41 And Moses gave the tribute to the Lord, the heave-offering of God, to Eleazar the priest, as the Lord commanded Moses;
Moyize apesaki mpako mpo na Yawe epai ya Nganga-Nzambe Eleazari ndenge Yawe atindaki ye.
42 from the half belonging to the children of Israel, whom Moses separated from the men of war.
Boye, ndambo oyo epesamelaki bana ya Isalaele, oyo Moyize alongolaki na bomengo ya bato oyo bakendeki na bitumba,
43 And the half [taken] from the sheep, belonging to the congregation, was three hundred and thirty-seven thousand and five hundred.
ndambo oyo epesamelaki lisanga ezalaki: meme elongo na bantaba nkoto nkama misato na tuku misato na sambo na nkama mitano;
44 And the oxen, thirty-six thousand;
ngombe nkoto tuku misato na motoba;
45 asses, thirty thousand and five hundred;
ba-ane nkoto tuku misato na nkama mitano,
46 and persons, sixteen thousand.
mpe bato nkoto zomi na motoba.
47 And Moses took of the half belonging to the children of Israel the fiftieth part, of men and of cattle, and he gave them to the Levites who keep the charges of the tabernacle of the Lord, as the Lord commanded Moses.
Na ndambo oyo epesamelaki bana ya Isalaele, Moyize alongolaki moto moko kati na bato tuku mitano mpe nyama moko kati na banyama tuku mitano, ndenge Yawe atindaki ye mpe apesaki yango epai ya Balevi oyo bazalaki na mokumba ya kobatela Mongombo na Yawe.
48 And all those who were appointed to be officers of thousands of the host, captains of thousands and captains of hundreds, approached Moses, and said to Moses,
Bongo, bakonzi ya mampinga, bakonzi ya bankoto ya basoda mpe ya bankama bayaki epai ya Moyize.
49 Thy servants have taken the sum of the men of war with us, and not one is missing.
Balobaki na Moyize: « Basali na yo batangi motango ya basoda oyo bazali na se ya bokonzi na biso mpe ata moko te azangi.
50 And we have brought our gift to the Lord, [every] man who has found an article of gold, whether an armlet, or a chain, or a ring, or a bracelet, or a clasp for hair, to make atonement for us before the Lord.
Boye, tomemi epai na Yawe lokola makabo, biloko ya wolo oyo: biloko oyo balataka na maboko, bapete, bamedayi, biloko ya matoyi, basheneti oyo moko na moko na biso azwaki mpo na kosala mosala ya bolimbisi masumu liboso ya Yawe. »
51 And Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold from them, even every wrought article.
Moyize mpe Nganga-Nzambe Eleazari bazwaki na maboko na bango, biloko nyonso oyo basala na wolo.
52 And all the wrought gold, even the offering that they offered to the Lord, was sixteen thousand and seven hundred and fifty shekels from the captains of thousands and the captains of hundreds.
Wolo nyonso oyo Moyize mpe Nganga-Nzambe Eleazari bazwaki lokola makabo mpo na Yawe, na maboko ya bakonzi ya bankoto mpe ya bankama, ezalaki bakilo nkama moko na tuku mwambe na minei.
53 For the men of war took plunder every one for himself.
Soda na soda akamataki na makasi mpo na ye moko bomengo na ye ya bitumba.
54 And Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold from the captains of thousands and captains of hundreds, and brought the vessels into the tabernacle of witness, a memorial of the children of Israel before the Lord.
Moyize mpe Nganga-Nzambe Eleazari bazwaki wolo na maboko ya bakonzi ya nkoto ya basoda mpe ya nkama ya basoda mpe bamemaki yango kati na Ndako ya kapo ya Bokutani lokola ekaniseli mpo na bana ya Isalaele liboso ya Yawe.
