Numbers 20
1 And the sons of Israel, and the entire multitude, went into the desert of Sin, in the first month. And the people stayed at Kadesh. And Miriam died there, and she was buried in the same place.
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 And when the people were in need of water, they came together 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 And as it turned into sedition, they said: “If only we had perished among our brothers in the sight of 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 led away the Church of the Lord, into the wilderness, so that both we and our cattle would die?
Mpo na nini omemaki lisanga ya Yawe na esobe oyo? Ezali mpo ete biso mpe bibwele na biso tokufa awa?
5 Why did you cause us to ascend from Egypt, and why have you led us into this most wretched place, which is not able to be sown, which does not produce figs, or vines, or pomegranates, and which, moreover, does not even have 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 And Moses and Aaron, dismissing the multitude, entered the tabernacle of the covenant, and they fell prone on the ground, and they cried out to the Lord, and they said: “O Lord God, listen to the outcry of this people, and open for them, from your storehouse, a fountain of living water, so that, being satisfied, their murmuring may cease.” And the glory of the Lord appeared over 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 spoke to Moses, saying:
Yawe alobaki na Moyize:
8 “Take the rod, and gather the people, you and your brother Aaron, and speak to the rock before them, and it shall bestow waters. And when you have brought forth water from the rock, the entire multitude and their cattle shall drink.”
« 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 Therefore, Moses took the rod, which was in the sight of the Lord, just as he had instructed him.
Moyize azwaki lingenda oyo ezalaki liboso ya Yawe, ndenge kaka Yawe atindaki ye.
10 And having gathered the multitude before the rock, he said to them: “Listen, you who are rebellious and unbelieving. Would we be able to cast out water from 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 And when Moses had lifted up his hand, striking the stone twice with the rod, very great waters went forth, so much so that the people and their cattle 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 And the Lord said to Moses and Aaron, “Because you did not believe me, so as to sanctify me before the sons of Israel, you shall not lead this people into the land, which I will give to 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 This is the Water of Contradiction, where the sons of Israel were quarreling against the Lord, and he was sanctified in 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 Meanwhile, Moses sent messengers from Kadesh to the king of Edom. They said: “Your brother Israel says this: You know of all the hardships which have overtaken 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 descended into Egypt, and we lived there for a long time, and the Egyptians afflicted both 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 how we cried out to the Lord, and he heeded us and sent an Angel, who led us away from Egypt. Behold, we are situated in the city of Kadesh, which is at the extremity of your borders.
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 And we beg you to permit us to cross through your land. We will not go through the fields, nor through the vineyards; we will not drink the waters of your wells, but we will travel by the public ways, neither turning aside to the right, nor to the left, until we have passed your borders.”
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 Edom responded to them: “You shall not cross through me, otherwise, I will meet you armed.”
Kasi mokonzi ya Edomi azongiselaki ye: — Okoki kolekela na mokili na ngai te; soki omeki, tokobimela bino mpe tokobundisa bino na mopanga.
19 And the sons of Israel said: “We will travel by the well-trodden path. And if we or our cattle drink from your waters, we will give you what is just. There shall be no difficulty in the price, only let us cross through quickly.”
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 he answered, “You shall not cross.” And immediately he went out to meet them with a countless multitude 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 neither was he willing to agree to their petition to concede passage through his borders. For this reason, Israel diverted away from him.
Lokola Edomi eboyaki ete bana ya Isalaele balekela na etuka na yango, bana ya Isalaele bazwaki nzela mosusu.
22 And when they had moved the camp from Kadesh, they arrived at mount Hor, which is at the borders of the land of Edom,
Lisanga mobimba ya Isalaele babimaki wuta na Kadeshi mpe bakomaki kino na ngomba Ori.
23 where the Lord spoke to Moses:
Bongo, Yawe alobaki na Moyize mpe Aron na ngomba Ori, pembeni ya mondelo ya Edomi:
24 “Let Aaron,” he said, “go to his people. For he shall not enter into the land which I have given to the sons of Israel, because he did not believe my mouth at the Waters of Contradiction.
« 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 with him, and lead them on to mount Hor.
Kamata Aron na Eleazari, mwana na ye ya mobali mpe mema bango likolo ya ngomba Ori.
26 And when you have stripped the father of his vestments, you shall put them on Eleazar, his son. Aaron shall be gathered and shall 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 Moses did just as the Lord had instructed. And they ascended mount Hor, in the sight of the entire multitude.
Moyize asalaki ndenge kaka Yawe atindaki: bamataki likolo ya ngomba Ori na miso ya lisanga mobimba.
28 And when he had despoiled Aaron of his vestments, he clothed his son Eleazar with them. And when Aaron had died at the top of the mountain, Moses came down with Eleazar.
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 And the entire multitude, seeing that Aaron lay dead, wept over him for thirty days, throughout all their families.
mpe tango lingomba mobimba eyokaki sango ete Aron asilaki kokufa, bato nyonso ya Isalaele basalelaki ye matanga ya mikolo tuku misato.
