Numbers 14
1 And all the congregation lifted up their voice and cried; and the people wept all that night.
Bato nyonso ya lisanga batombolaki mingongo na bango mpe bakomaki kolela makasi butu mobimba.
2 And all the children of Israel murmured against Moses and Aaron; and all the congregation said to them,
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 Would we had died in the land of Egypt! or in this wilderness, would we had died! and why does the Lord bring us into this land to fall in war? our wives and our children shall be for a prey: now then it is better to return into 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 one to another, Let us make a ruler, and return into Egypt.
Boye bakomaki kolobana bango na bango: « Tosengeli kopona mokambi mosusu mpe kozonga na Ejipito. »
5 And Moses and Aaron fell upon their face before all the congregation of the children of Israel.
Moyize mpe Aron bakweyaki elongi kino na mabele liboso ya lisanga mobimba ya bana ya Isalaele oyo basanganaki kuna.
6 But Joshua the [son] of Naue, and Chaleb the [son] of Jephonne, of [the number of] them that spied out the land, tore their garments,
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 and spoke to all the congregation of the children of Israel, saying, The land which we surveyed is indeed extremely good.
mpe balobaki na lisanga mobimba ya Isalaele: « Mokili oyo totambolaki kati na yango mpe tonongaki ezali malamu mingi penza.
8 If the Lord choose us, he will bring us into this land, and give it us; a land which flows 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 depart not from the Lord; and fear you not the people of the land, for they are meat for us; for the season [of prosperity] is departed from them, but the Lord [is] amongst us: fear them not.
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 And all the congregation bade stone them with stones; and the glory of the Lord appeared in the cloud on the tabernacle of witness to 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 does this people provoke me? and how long do they refuse to believe me for all the signs which I have wrought amongst 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 strike them with death, and destroy them; and I will make of you and of your father's house a great nation, and much greater than this.
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, So Egypt shall hear, for you have brought up this people from them by your might.
Moyize alobaki na Yawe: — Bato ya Ejipito bakoyoka yango! Nzokande ezali na nguya na Yo nde obimisaki bato oyo kati na bango.
14 Moreover all the dwellers upon this land have heard that you are Lord in the midst of this people, who, O Lord, are seen [by them] face to face, and your cloud rests upon them, and you go before them by day in a pillar of a cloud, and by night in a pillar of fire.
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 And [if] you shall destroy this nation as one man; then all the nations that have heard your name shall speak, saying,
Na bongo, soki obomi bato oyo nyonso na mbala moko, bikolo oyo eyokaki sango oyo mpo na Yo ekoloba:
16 Because the Lord could not bring this people into the land which he sware to them, he has overthrown them in the wilderness.
« 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 And now, O Lord, let your strength be exalted, as you spoke, saying,
Sik’oyo, nabondeli Yo, tika ete makasi ya Nkolo emonisama na nguya na yango kolanda ndenge olobaki:
18 The Lord [is] longsuffering and merciful, and true, removing transgressions and iniquities and sins, and he will by no means clear the guilty, visiting the sins of the fathers upon the children 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 Forgive this people their sin according to your great mercy, as you were favourable to them from Egypt until 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 to Moses, I am gracious to them according to your word.
Yawe azongisaki: — Nalimbisi bango ndenge osengi.
21 But [as] I live and my name is living, so the glory of the Lord shall fill all the earth.
Kasi na Kombo na Ngai, mpe lokola mokili mobimba etondi na nkembo ya Yawe,
22 For all the men who see my glory, and the signs which I wrought in Egypt, and in the wilderness, and have tempted me this tenth time, and have not listened 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 surely they shall not see the land, which I sware to their fathers; but their children which are with me here, as many as know not good or evil, every inexperienced youth, to them will I give the land; but none who have provoked me shall 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 Chaleb, because there was another spirit in him, and he followed me, I will bring him into the land into which he entered, and his seed shall inherit it.
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 But Amalec and the Chananite dwell in the valley: to-morrow turn and depart for the wilderness by the way of 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 And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying,
Yawe alobaki na Moyize mpe Aron:
27 How long [shall I endure] this wicked congregation? I have heard their murmurings against me, [even] the murmuring of the children of Israel, which they have murmured concerning you.
— 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, [As] I live, says the Lord: surely as you spoke into my ears, so will I do to you.
Yebisa bango: « Nalapi ndayi, » elobi Yawe, « nakosalela bino makambo nyonso oyo nayoki bino koloba.
29 Your carcases shall fall in this wilderness; and all those of you that were reviewed, and those of you that were numbered from twenty years old and upward, all that murmured 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 you shall not enter into the land for which I stretched out my hand to establish you upon it; except only Chaleb the son of Jephonne, and Joshua the [son] of Naue.
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, who you said should be a prey, them will I bring into the land; and they shall inherit the land, which you rejected.
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 And your carcases shall fall in this wilderness.
Nzokande bino, bibembe na bino ekolala na esobe oyo.
33 And your sons shall be fed in the wilderness forty years, and they shall bear your fornication, until your carcases be consumed in the wilderness.
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 According to the number of the days during which you spied the land, forty days, a day for a year, you shall bear your sins forty years, and you shall know my fierce anger.
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 spoken, Surely will I do thus to this evil congregation that has risen up together against me: in this wilderness they shall be utterly consumed, and there they shall die.
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 spy out the land, and who came and murmured against it to the assembly so as to bring out evil words concerning the land, —
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 the men that spoke evil reports against the land, even died of the plague before the Lord.
bato oyo babimisaki maloba mabe na tina na mokili yango, bazwaki etumbu mpe bakufaki liboso ya Yawe.
38 And Joshua the son of Naue and Chaleb the son of Jephonne [still] lived of those men that went to spy out the land.
Kati na bato oyo bakendeki kononga mokili, kaka Jozue, mwana mobali ya Nuni, mpe Kalebi, mwana mobali ya Yefune, nde babikaki.
39 And Moses spoke these words to all the children of Israel; and the people mourned exceedingly.
Tango Moyize ayebisaki makambo oyo epai ya bato nyonso ya Isalaele, balelaki makasi.
40 And they rose early in the morning and went up to the top of the mountain, saying, Behold, we that are here will go up to the place of which the Lord has spoken, because we have sinned.
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 do you transgress the word of the Lord? you shall not prosper.
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; so shall you fall before the face of your enemies.
Bokende te, pamba te Yawe azali elongo na bino te; banguna na bino bakolonga bino.
43 For Amalec and the Chananite [are] there before you, and you shall fall by the sword; because you have disobeyed the Lord and turned aside, and the Lord will not be amongst 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 And having forced their passage, they went up to the top of the mountain; but the ark of the covenant of the Lord and Moses stirred not out of the camp.
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 And Amalec and the Chananite that lived in that mountain came down, and routed them, and destroyed them to Herman; and they returned to the camp.
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.
