< Numbers 32 >

1 Now the children of Reuben and the children of Gad had a very great multitude of cattle; and when they saw the land of Jazer, and the land of Gilead, that, behold, the place was a place for cattle,
Bakitani ya Ribeni mpe ya Gadi bazalaki na bibwele mingi penza. Bamonaki ete mokili ya Yaezeri mpe ya Galadi ezali malamu mingi mpo na kobokola bibwele.
2 the children of Gad and the children of Reuben came and spoke unto Moses, and to Eleazar the priest, and unto the princes of the congregation, saying:
Bongo bakitani ya Ribeni mpe ya Gadi bayaki koloba na Moyize, na Nganga-Nzambe Eleazari mpe na bakambi ya lisanga:
3 'Ataroth, and Dibon, and Jazer, and Nimrah, and Heshbon, and Elealeh, and Sebam, and Nebo, and Beon,
« Bingumba ya Ataroti, ya Diboni, ya Yaezeri, ya Nimira, ya Eshiboni, ya Eleale, ya Sebami, ya Nebo mpe ya Beoni;
4 the land which the LORD smote before the congregation of Israel, is a land for cattle, and thy servants have cattle.'
bituka oyo Yawe akweyisaki liboso ya bato ya Isalaele, ezali malamu mpo na kobokola bibwele; nzokande, basali na yo bazali mpe na bibwele. »
5 And they said: 'If we have found favour in thy sight, let this land be given unto thy servants for a possession; bring us not over the Jordan.'
Balobaki lisusu: « Soki tozwi ngolu na miso na yo, tika ete mokili oyo epesamela basali na yo lokola libula na biso mpe okatisa biso na ngambo ya Yordani te. »
6 And Moses said unto the children of Gad and to the children of Reuben: 'Shall your brethren go to the war, and shall ye sit here?
Moyize alobaki na bakitani ya Gadi mpe ya Ribeni: — Boni, bandeko na bino bakende na bitumba, bongo bino botikala awa?
7 And wherefore will ye turn away the heart of the children of Israel from going over into the land which the LORD hath given them?
Mpo na nini bolingi lisusu kolembisa mitema ya bana ya Isalaele oyo bazali kokende na mokili oyo Yawe apesaki bango?
8 Thus did your fathers, when I sent them from Kadesh-barnea to see the land.
Oyo ezali penza makambo oyo batata na bino basalaki tango natindaki bango wuta na Kadeshi-Barinea mpo na kokende kononga mokili.
9 For when they went up unto the valley of Eshcol, and saw the land, they turned away the heart of the children of Israel, that they should not go into the land which the LORD had given them.
Sima na bango komata na lubwaku ya Eshikoli mpe komona mokili yango, balembisaki mitema ya bana ya Isalaele oyo balingaki kokota na mokili oyo Yawe apesaki bango.
10 And the LORD'S anger was kindled in that day, and He swore, saying:
Na mokolo wana, kanda ya Yawe epelaki mpe alapaki ndayi oyo:
11 Surely none of the men that came up out of Egypt, from twenty years old and upward, shall see the land which I swore unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob; because they have not wholly followed Me;
« Lokola batosaki Ngai te na motema mobimba, moko te kati na bato oyo bazali na mibu tuku mibale mpe komata, ba-oyo babimaki na Ejipito, akomona mokili oyo nalakaki, na nzela ya ndayi, epai ya Abrayami, Izaki mpe Jakobi
12 save Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite, and Joshua the son of Nun; because they have wholly followed the LORD.
longola kaka Kalebi, mwana mobali ya Yefune, moto ya libota ya Kenizi, mpe Jozue, mwana mobali ya Nuni, pamba te batosaki Ngai Yawe na mitema na bango mobimba. »
13 And the LORD'S anger was kindled against Israel, and He made them wander to and fro in the wilderness forty years, until all the generation, that had done evil in the sight of the LORD, was consumed.
Yawe atombokelaki Isalaele mpe asalaki ete bayengayenga na esobe mibu tuku minei kino tango molongo nyonso ya bato oyo basalaki mabe na miso na Ye basilaki kokufa.
14 And, behold, ye are risen up in your fathers' stead, a brood of sinful men, to augment yet the fierce anger of the LORD toward Israel.
Bino mpe bozali kaka ndenge moko, libota ya bato ya masumu, bozali kaka kosala makambo ndenge moko na batata na bino mpe bozali kopelisa lisusu koleka kanda ya Yawe likolo ya Isalaele.
15 For if ye turn away from after Him, He will yet again leave them in the wilderness; and so ye will destroy all this people.'
Soki boboyi kolanda nzela na Ye, akotika lisusu bato oyo nyonso na esobe mpe bato oyo bakobebisama likolo na bino.
16 And they came near unto him, and said: 'We will build sheepfolds here for our cattle, and cities for our little ones;
Babelemaki pene na Moyize mpe balobaki: — Te, tolingi nde kotonga mapango mpo na bibwele na biso mpe bingumba mpo na basi mpe bana na biso awa.
17 but we ourselves will be ready armed to go before the children of Israel, until we have brought them unto their place; and our little ones shall dwell in the fortified cities because of the inhabitants of the land.
Kasi tozali kolata na lombangu bibundeli na biso mpe kokende na liboso ya bana ya Isalaele kino tango tokokomisa bango na esika na bango. Bongo, na tango yango, basi mpe bana na biso bakotikala awa, kati na bingumba batonga makasi, mpo na komibatela liboso ya bavandi ya mokili oyo.
18 We will not return unto our houses, until the children of Israel have inherited every man his inheritance.
Tokotikala kozonga na bandako na biso te soki moto moko na moko ya Isalaele azwi libula na ye te;
19 For we will not inherit with them on the other side of the Jordan, and forward, because our inheritance is fallen to us on this side of the Jordan eastward.'
mpe tokotikala kozwa libula moko te elongo na bango na ngambo mosusu ya Yordani, pamba te libula oyo esengeli kopesamela biso ezali na ngambo ya este ya Yordani.
20 And Moses said unto them: 'If ye will do this thing: if ye will arm yourselves to go before the LORD to the war,
Moyize alobaki na bango: — Soki bosali bongo, soki bolati bibundeli mpo na kokende na bitumba liboso ya Yawe,
21 and every armed man of you will pass over the Jordan before the LORD, until He hath driven out His enemies from before Him,
mpe soki bino nyonso oyo bosimbi bibundeli bokeyi na ngambo mosusu ya Yordani liboso ya Yawe, kino abengana banguna na Ye
22 and the land be subdued before the LORD, and ye return afterward; then ye shall be clear before the LORD, and before Israel, and this land shall be unto you for a possession before the LORD.
mpe mokili ekoma na se ya bokonzi ya Yawe, nde bokoki kozonga. Ezali na nzela wana nde bokolongwa na ngambo na miso ya Yawe mpe na miso ya bana ya Isalaele, mpe mokili oyo ekokoma libula na bino na miso ya Yawe.
23 But if ye will not do so, behold, ye have sinned against the LORD; and know ye your sin which will find you.
Kasi soki bosali bongo te, bokosala nde lisumu na miso ya Yawe mpe boyeba ete, lisumu na bino ekolanda bino.
24 Build you cities for your little ones, and folds for your sheep; and do that which hath proceeded out of your mouth.'
Botonga bingumba makasi mpo na basi mpe bana na bino, botonga mapango mpo na bibwele na bino, kasi bokokisa mpe elaka oyo bopesi.
25 And the children of Gad and the children of Reuben spoke unto Moses, saying: 'Thy servants will do as my lord commandeth.
Bakitani ya Gadi mpe ya Ribeni balobaki na Moyize: — Basali na yo bakotosa mitindo ya nkolo na biso.
26 Our little ones, our wives, our flocks, and all our cattle, shall be there in the cities of Gilead;
Bana mpe basi na biso elongo na banyama mpe bibwele na biso bakotikala awa, na bingumba ya Galadi.
27 but thy servants will pass over, every man that is armed for war, before the LORD to battle, as my lord saith.'
Kasi mpo na biso basali na yo, mobali nyonso akosimba bibundeli mpo na kokende na bitumba; tokokatisa na ngambo mpo na kobunda liboso ya Yawe ndenge kaka nkolo na biso asili koloba.
28 So Moses gave charge concerning them to Eleazar the priest, and to Joshua the son of Nun, and to the heads of the fathers' houses of the tribes of the children of Israel.
Boye, Moyize apesaki mitindo na tina na bango epai ya Nganga-Nzambe Eleazari, epai ya Jozue, mwana mobali ya Nuni, mpe epai ya bakambi ya mabota ya Isalaele.
29 And Moses said unto them: 'If the children of Gad and the children of Reuben will pass with you over the Jordan, every man that is armed to battle, before the LORD, and the land shall be subdued before you, then ye shall give them the land of Gilead for a possession;
Moyize alobaki na bango: — Soki bakitani ya Gadi mpe ya Ribeni, bango nyonso basimbi bibundeli mpo na kokende na bitumba, bakatisi ngambo ya Yordani elongo na bino liboso ya Yawe, mpe tango mokili ekokoma na se ya bokonzi na bino, bopesa bango mokili ya Galadi lokola libula na bango.
30 but if they will not pass over with you armed, they shall have possessions among you in the land of Canaan.'
Kasi soki bakatisi elongo na bino te mpo na kokende na bitumba, bakozwa libula elongo na bino, na mokili ya Kanana.
31 And the children of Gad and the children of Reuben answered, saying: 'As the LORD hath said unto thy servants, so will we do.
Bakitani ya Gadi mpe ya Ribeni bazongisaki: — Basali na yo bakosala makambo oyo Yawe alobaki na biso.
32 We will pass over armed before the LORD into the land of Canaan, and the possession of our inheritance shall remain with us beyond the Jordan.'
Tokokatisa na ngambo mosusu liboso ya Yawe kino na mokili ya Kanana mpo na bitumba. Kasi mabele oyo biso tosengeli kozwa lokola libula ekozala na ngambo oyo ya Yordani.
33 And Moses gave unto them, even to the children of Gad, and to the children of Reuben, and unto the half-tribe of Manasseh the son of Joseph, the kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorites, and the kingdom of Og king of Bashan, the land, according to the cities thereof with their borders, even the cities of the land round about.
Boye, Moyize apesaki epai ya bakitani ya Gadi, ya Ribeni mpe ya ndambo ya libota ya Manase, mwana mobali ya Jozefi mokili ya Sikoni, mokonzi ya bato ya Amori mpe mokili ya Ogi, mokonzi ya Bashani: mokili mobimba elongo na bingumba na yango mpe mboka mike oyo ezingelaki yango.
34 And the children of Gad built Dibon, and Ataroth, and Aroer;
Bakitani ya Gadi batongaki bingumba oyo: Diboni, Ataroti, Aroeri;
35 and Atroth-shophan, and Jazer, and Jogbehah;
Aroti-Shofani, Yaezeri, Yogibeka;
36 and Beth-nimrah, and Beth-haran; fortified cities, and folds for sheep.
Beti-Nimira mpe Beti-Arani lokola bingumba ya makasi; mpe batongaki lisusu mapango mpo na bibwele na bango.
37 And the children of Reuben built Heshbon, and Elealeh, and Kiriathaim;
Bakitani ya libota ya Ribeni batongaki bingumba oyo: Eshiboni, Eleale mpe Kiriatayimi
38 and Nebo, and Baal-meon — their names being changed — and Sibmah; and gave their names unto the cities which they builded.
elongo na Nebo mpe Bala-Meoni, kombo oyo babongola na Sibima. Bapesaki bakombo na bingumba oyo batongaki.
39 And the children of Machir the son of Manasseh went to Gilead, and took it, and dispossessed the Amorites that were therein.
Bakitani ya Makiri, mwana mobali ya Manase bakendeki kino na Galadi, babotolaki yango mpe babenganaki bato ya Amori oyo bazalaki kovanda kuna.
40 And Moses gave Gilead unto Machir the son of Manasseh; and he dwelt therein.
Boye, Moyize apesaki mokili ya Galadi epai ya bakitani ya Makiri, mwana mobali ya Manase, mpe bakomaki kovanda kuna.
41 And Jair the son of Manasseh went and took the villages thereof, and called them Havvoth-jair.
Yairi, moko kati na bakitani ya Manase, abotolaki bamboka na yango ya mike mpe abengaki yango Avoti Yairi.
42 And Nobah went and took Kenath, and the villages thereof, and called it Nobah, after his own name.
Mpe Noba abotolaki Kenati mpe bamboka na yango ya mike oyo ya zingazinga mpe abengaki yango Noba, ndenge ezalaki kombo na ye.
