Numbers 21
1 And when the Canaanite, the king of 'Arad, who dwelt in the south, heard that Israel was coming by the way of the spies: he made an attack on Israel, and took from them some prisoners.
Tango moto ya mboka Kanana, mokonzi ya Aradi, oyo azalaki kovanda na Negevi ayokaki ete Isalaele azali koya pembeni ya nzela ya Atarimi, abundisaki bana ya Isalaele mpe akangaki bamosusu kati na bango na boloko.
2 And Israel made a vow unto the Lord, and said, If thou wilt but deliver this people into my hand, then will I devote their cities.
Boye, bana ya Isalaele balapaki ndayi oyo epai na Yawe: « Soki okabi bato oyo na maboko na biso, tokobebisa bingumba na bango nyonso. »
3 And the Lord hearkened to the voice of Israel, and he delivered up the Canaanites; and they devoted them and their cities: and they called the name of the place Chormah.
Yawe ayokaki kolela ya bana ya Isalaele mpe apesaki bango elonga likolo ya bato ya mboka Kanana elongo na bingumba na bango. Yango wana, babengaka esika yango « Orima » oyo elingi koloba: kobebisama.
4 And they set forward from mount Hor by the way to the Red Sea, to go round the land of Edom: and the spirit of the people became impatient because of the way.
Bana ya Isalaele batikaki ngomba Ori mpe bakendeki pembeni-pembeni ya nzela ya ebale monene ya Barozo, mpo na kokima mokili ya Edomi. Kasi bato bakokaki lisusu te kokanga motema na nzela.
5 And the people spoke against God, and against Moses, Wherefore have ye brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? for there is no bread, and there is no water; and our soul loatheth this miserable bread.
Batombokelaki Nzambe mpe Moyize, balobaki: « Mpo na nini boye! Bobimisaki biso na Ejipito mpo ete toya kokufa na esobe? Bilei ezali te, mayi ezali te mpe tolembi kolia bilei oyo ya pamba-pamba! »
6 And the Lord let loose against the people poisonous serpents, and they bit the people; and there died much people of Israel.
Bongo Yawe atindelaki bango banyoka ya ngenge oyo ekomaki koswa bato mpe bana ya Isalaele ebele bakufaki.
7 And the people then came to Moses, and they said, We have sinned, for we have spoken against the Lord, and against thee; pray unto the Lord, that he take away from us the serpents. And Moses prayed for the people.
Bato bayaki epai ya Moyize mpe balobaki: « Tosalaki masumu tango totombokelaki Yawe mpe totombokelaki yo. Bondela Yawe ete alongola mosika na biso banyoka oyo. » Boye, Moyize abondelaki mpo na bato.
8 And the Lord said unto Moses, Make thyself a serpent, and set it upon a pole: and it shall come to pass, that whoever is bitten shall look at it, and he shall live.
Yawe alobaki na Moyize: — Salisa nyoka moko ya ebende mpe telemisa yango likolo ya nzete mpo ete moto nyonso oyo aswami, atala yango mpe abika.
9 And Moses made a serpent of copper, and put it upon a pole; and it came to pass, that, when a serpent had bitten any man, and he looked up to the serpent of copper, he remained alive.
Boye, Moyize asalisaki nyoka moko ya ebende mpe atelemisaki yango na likolo ya nzete. Boye moto nyonso oyo nyoka eswaki, bongo atalaki nyoka ya ebende, abikaki.
10 And the children of Israel set forward, and encamped in Oboth.
Bana ya Isalaele balongwaki wana mpe bakendeki kotonga molako na bango na Oboti.
11 And they journeyed from Oboth, and encamped at 'Iye-ha'abarim, in the wilderness, which is before Moab, toward the rising of the sun.
Kolongwa na Oboti bakendeki kotonga molako na bango na Iye-Abarimi, na esobe oyo etalana na Moabi, na ngambo oyo moyi ebimaka.
12 From there they set forward and encamped in the valley of Zered.
Kolongwa wana, bakendeki kotonga molako na bango na lubwaku ya Zeredi.
13 From there they set forward, and encamped on the other side of Arnon, which is in the wilderness, and which cometh out of the boundary of the Emorites; for Arnon is the border of Moab, between Moab and between the Emorites.
Kolongwa wana, bakendeki kotonga molako na bango na ngambo mosusu ya Arinoni, mayi oyo elekela na esobe, wuta na etuka ya mokili ya bato ya Amori. Mayi ya Arinoni ezalaki na mondelo ya Moabi, na kati-kati ya mokili ya Moabi mpe ya Amori.
14 Therefore mention is made in the book of the wars of the Lord, of Vaheb in Supha, and of the brooks of Arnon,
Yango wana, buku ya bitumba ya Yawe eloba: « Wahebi kati na Sufa mpe miluka na yango, Arinoni
15 And the descent of the brooks, that turneth toward Shebeth-'Ar, and leaneth upon the border of Moab;
mpe nzela ya miluka ya mabwaku oyo ekenda kino na engumba Ari mpe elekela pembeni-pembeni ya mondelo ya Moabi. »
16 And from there to the well; this is the well where the Lord said unto Moses, Assemble the people and I will give them water.
Kolongwa wana, bakobaki kokende kino na Beri oyo ezalaki libulu ya mayi epai wapi Yawe alobaki na Moyize: « Sangisa bato esika moko mpo ete nakopesa bango mayi. »
17 Then did Israel sing this song, Come up, O well; sing ye unto it:
Boye, bana ya Isalaele bayembaki loyembo oyo: « Oh libulu, bimisa mayi! Boyembela yango!
18 Well, which the princes have dug, which the nobles of the people have hollowed out with the sceptre, with their staves; — and from the wilderness to Mattanah;
Libulu oyo bana bakonzi batimola, oyo bato minene batobola na mangenda mpe banzete na bango. » Kolongwa na esobe, bakendeki kino na Matana;
19 And from Mattanah to Nachaliel; and from Nachaliel to Bamoth;
kolongwa na Matana bakendeki na Naalieli, kolongwa na Naalieli bakendeki kino na Bamoti;
20 And from Bamoth to the valley, which is in the fields of Moab, to the top of Pisgah, which looketh toward the desert.
mpe kolongwa na Bamoti bakendeki kino na lubwaku ya Moabi, na songe ya ngomba Pisiga, oyo eleki molayi na esobe.
21 And Israel sent messengers unto Sichon the king of the Emorites, saying,
Bana ya Isalaele batindaki bantoma mpo na koyebisa Sikoni, mokonzi ya bato ya Amori:
22 Let me pass through thy land; we will not turn aside into field, or into vineyard; we will not drink the water of a well: by the king's highway will we go along, until we have passed thy border.
« Tika biso tolekela na mokili na yo. Tokokota te na elanga to na elanga ya vino moko, mpe tokomela te mayi ya mabulu na bino; tokoleka kaka na nzela ya monene ya mokonzi kino tokosilisa kokatisa mokili na yo. »
23 But Sichon would not suffer Israel to pass through his border; and Sichon assembled all his people together; and went out against Israel into the wilderness; and he came to Yahaz, and fought against Israel.
Kasi Sikoni aboyaki kopesa bana ya Isalaele nzela ya kolekela na mokili na ye; asangisaki mampinga na ye nyonso ya basoda mpe abimaki na esobe mpo na kobundisa Isalaele. Abundisaki Isalaele tango akomaki na Yakatsi.
24 And Israel smote him with the edge of the sword, and took possession of his land from Arnon unto Yabbok, even unto the children of 'Ammon; for the border of the children of 'Ammon was strong.
Kasi Isalaele alongaki ye mpe akamataki mokili na ye wuta na Arinoni kino na Yaboki, mpe lisusu kino na mokili ya bato ya Amoni, mpo ete bazalaki kokengela mondelo yango makasi.
25 And Israel took all these cities; and Israel dwelt in all the cities of the Emorites, in Cheshbon, and in all the villages thereof.
Isalaele abotolaki bingumba nyonso ya bato ya Amori mpe bakomaki kovanda kati na yango, bakisa Eshiboni mpe bamboka mike na yango nyonso ya zingazinga.
26 For Cheshbon was the city of Sichon the king of the Emorites; and he had fought against the former king of Moab, and taken all his land out of his hand, up to the Arnon.
Eshiboni ezalaki engumba oyo Sikoni, mokonzi ya bato ya Amori, oyo abundisaki mokonzi ya kala ya Moabi mpe abotolaki na maboko na ye mokili nyonso, kino na Arinoni.
27 Therefore said the poets, Come into Cheshbon, let the city of Sichon be built and established.
Yango wana balobaka na masese: « Boya na Eshiboni! Tika ete etelema lisusu! Tika ete engumba Sikoni etongama lisusu!
28 For a fire is gone out of Cheshbon, a flame from the city of Sichon: it hath consumed 'Ar-Moab, the men of the high places of the Arnon.
Moto ebimaki wuta na Eshiboni, ndemo ya moto ebimaki wuta na engumba ya Sikoni, etumbaki Ari ya Moabi, bavandi ya bangomba ya Arinoni.
29 Woe to thee, Moab! thou art lost, O people of Kemosh: he hath suffered his sons to become fugitives, and his daughters to go into captivity, unto the king of the Emorites, Sichon.
Oh Moabi, mawa na yo! Oh bato ya Kemoshi, bobebisami! Bakomisaki bana na ye ya mibali bakimi; mpe bana basi na ye, bakangami ya mokonzi Sikoni, mokonzi ya Amori.
30 We have thrown them down; lost is Cheshbon even unto Dibon, and we have laid waste [all] up to Nophach, which reacheth unto Medeba.
Kasi tolongi bango; Eshiboni nyonso ebebisami kino na Diboni, topanzi yango nyonso kino na Nofaki, mpe kino na Medeba. »
31 Thus Israel dwelt in the land of the Emorites.
Boye Isalaele avandaki na mokili ya bato ya Amori.
32 And Moses sent to spy out Ya'zer, and they captured the villages thereof, and drove out the Emorites that were there.
Sima na yango, Moyize atindaki banongi na Yaezeri, bana ya Isalaele babotolaki bamboka ya mike-mike oyo ya zingazinga na yango mpe babenganaki bato ya Amori oyo bazalaki kovanda kuna.
33 And they turned and went up by the way to Bashan; and 'Og, the king of Bashan, went out against them, he, and all his people, to the battle at Edrei.
Boye bana ya Isalaele babalukaki mpe bakendeki pembeni-pembeni ya nzela oyo ekenda kino na Bashani. Ogi, mokonzi ya Bashani, elongo na mampinga na ye nyonso babimaki mpo na kokutana na bango mpe kobundisa bango na Edreyi.
34 And the Lord said unto Moses, Fear him not; for into thy hand have I delivered him, and all his people, and his land; and thou shalt do unto him as thou hast done unto Sichon, the king of the Emorites, who dwelt at Cheshbon.
Bongo Yawe alobaki na Moyize: « Kobanga ye te, pamba te nakabi ye elongo na mampinga na ye nyonso mpe mokili na ye na maboko na yo; sala ye ndenge osalaki Sikoni, mokonzi ya bato ya Amori, oyo azalaki kovanda na Eshiboni. »
35 And they smote him and his sons, and all his people, until there was none left unto him that escaped; and they took possession of his land.
Boye, bana ya Isalaele babomaki ye elongo na bana na ye ya mibali mpe mampinga na ye nyonso; batikaki ata moto moko te na bomoi, mpe bakamataki mokili na ye.
