Numbers 17
1 And the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying,
Yawe alobaki na Moyize:
2 Speake vnto the children of Israel, and take of euery one of them a rod, after the house of their fathers, of all their princes according to the familie of their fathers, euen twelue rods: and thou shalt write euery mans name vpon his rod.
« Yebisa bana ya Isalaele ete bapesa yo mangenda zomi na mibale, lingenda moko mpo na mokambi ya libota moko na moko kati ya bikolo na bango. Koma kombo ya moto moko na moko na lingenda na ye.
3 And write Aarons name vpon the rod of Leui: for euery rodde shalbe for the head of the house of their fathers.
Koma kombo ya Aron mpo na lingenda ya libota ya Levi, mpo ete mokambi moko na moko ya libota akozala na lingenda moko.
4 And thou shalt put them in the Tabernacle of the Congregation, before the Arke of the Testimonie, where I wil declare my selfe to you.
Tia mangenda yango na Ndako ya kapo ya Bokutani, liboso ya Sanduku ya Litatoli, epai wapi nakutanaka na bino.
5 And the mans rod, whome I chuse, shall blossome: and I will make cease from mee the grudgings of the children of Israel, which grudge against you.
Lingenda ya moto oyo nakopona ekobimisa moto ya etape. Ezali na nzela wana nde nakosukisa Ngai moko koyimayima ya tango nyonso kati na bana ya Isalaele na tina na bino. »
6 Then Moses spake vnto the children of Israel, and al their princes gaue him a rod, one rod for euery Prince, according to the houses of their fathers, euen twelue rods, and the rod of Aaron was among their roddes.
Moyize ayebisaki bana ya Isalaele, mpe bakambi na bango bapesaki ye mangenda zomi na mibale, lokola lingenda moko mpo na mokambi ya libota moko na moko, lingenda ya Aron mpe ezalaki kati na mangenda wana.
7 And Moses layde the rods before the Lord in the Tabernacle of the Testimonie.
Moyize atiaki mangenda nyonso liboso ya Yawe, kati na Ndako ya kapo ya Litatoli.
8 And when Moses on the morow went into the Tabernacle of the Testimonie, beholde, the rod of Aaron for the house of Leui was budded, and brought forth buddes, and brought forth blossoms, and bare ripe almondes.
Mokolo oyo elandaki, Moyize akotaki na Ndako ya kapo ya Litatoli, bongo amonaki ete lingenda ya Aron, oyo ezalaki kolakisa ndako ya Levi, ebimisaki mito ya etape, ebotaki bafololo mpe ezalaki na bambuma ya amande ya kotela.
9 Then Moses brought out all the rods from before the Lord vnto all the children of Israel: and they looked vpon them, and tooke euery man his rodde.
Moyize abimisaki mangenda nyonso longwa na liboso ya Yawe mpe amemaki yango na miso ya bato nyonso ya Isalaele. Bamonaki yango mpe moto na moto azwaki lingenda na ye.
10 After, the Lord said vnto Moses, Bring Aarons rod againe before the Testimonie to bee kept for a token to the rebellious children, and thou shalt cause their murmurings to cease from me, that they dye not.
Yawe alobaki na Moyize: « Zongisa lingenda ya Aron liboso ya Sanduku ya Litatoli mpo ete ebombama lokola elembo ya kotomboka na bango. Boye, okosukisa koyimayima na bango mpo na Ngai mpo ete bakufa te. »
11 So Moses did as the Lord had commanded him: so did he.
Moyize asalaki ndenge kaka Yawe atindaki ye.
12 And the children of Israel spake vnto Moses, saying, Behold, we are dead, we perish, we are all lost:
Bana ya Isalaele balobaki na Moyize: « Tokufi na biso, tobebi na biso, biso nyonso, tobebi na biso!
13 Whosoeuer commeth neere, or approcheth to the Tabernacle of the Lord, shall dye: shall we be consumed and dye?
Moto nyonso oyo akopusana pembeni ya Mongombo na Yawe akokufa. Boni, biso nyonso tokufa? »
