Numbers 16
1 Now Korah, the son of Izhar, the son of Kohath, the son of Levi, with Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, and On, the son of Peleth, sons of Reuben, took [men]:
Molevi Kore, mwana mobali ya Yitseari, ya libota ya bato ya Keati, elongo na bato misato ya libota ya bato ya Ribeni basalelaki Moyize likita; ezalaki: Datani mpe Abirami, bana mibali ya Eliabi, elongo na Oni, mwana mobali ya Peleti.
2 and they rose up before Moses, with certain of the children of Israel, two hundred and fifty princes of the congregation, called to the assembly, men of renown:
Batombokelaki Moyize. Elongo na bango, ezalaki na bana ya Isalaele nkama mibale na tuku mitano oyo bayebanaki malamu lokola bakambi ya lisanga mpe bazalaki kosangana kati na mayangani ya bakambi ya lisanga.
3 and they assembled themselves together against Moses and against Aaron, and said unto them, Ye take too much upon you, seeing all the congregation are holy, every one of them, and the LORD is among them: wherefore then lift ye up yourselves above the assembly of the LORD?
Bayaki lisanga mpo na kotelemela Moyize mpe Aron. Balobaki na bango: — Bino mpe bolekisi! Lingomba mobimba ezali bule mpe moto nyonso kati na yango azali bule, mpe Yawe azali elongo na bango. Boye, mpo na nini bozali komitia likolo ya lisanga ya Yawe?
4 And when Moses heard it, he fell upon his face:
Tango Moyize ayokaki bongo, akweyaki elongi kino na mabele.
5 and he spake unto Korah and unto all his company, saying, In the morning the LORD will shew who are his, and who is holy, and will cause him to come near unto him: even him whom he shall choose will he cause to come near unto him.
Alobaki na Kore mpe na bato na ye nyonso oyo balandaki ye: — Lobi na tongo, Yawe akolakisa nani azali moto na Ye mpe nani oyo azali bule, mpe akotika ye kopusana pene na Ye; akotika solo moponami na Ye kopusana pene na Ye.
6 This do; take you censers, Korah, and all his company;
Yo, Kore, elongo na bato nyonso oyo bazali kolanda yo, bokosala likambo oyo: Bokamata bambabola oyo batumbelaka malasi
7 and put fire therein, and put incense upon them before the LORD tomorrow: and it shall be that the man whom the LORD doth choose, he [shall be] holy: ye take too much upon you, ye sons of Levi.
mpe, lobi, botia moto mpe malasi ya ansa kati na yango liboso ya Yawe. Moto oyo Yawe akopona, ye nde azali bule. Bino Balevi, bino mpe bolekisi!
8 And Moses said unto Korah, Hear now, ye sons of Levi:
Moyize alobaki lisusu na Kore: — Bino Balevi, boyoka sik’oyo!
9 [seemeth it but] a small thing unto you, that the God of Israel hath separated you from the congregation of Israel, to bring you near to himself; to do the service of the tabernacle of the LORD, and to stand before the congregation to minister unto them;
Ekoki na bino te ete Nzambe ya Isalaele atia bino pembeni kati na lisanga ya Isalaele mpe abenda bino pembeni na Ye mpo na kosala mosala na Mongombo ya Yawe mpe kotelema liboso ya lisanga mpo na kosalela bango?
10 and that he hath brought thee near, and all thy brethren the sons of Levi with thee? and seek ye the priesthood also?
Abendaki bino pembeni na Ye elongo na Balevi nyonso oyo bazali kolanda bino; kasi sik’oyo, bazali lisusu koluka kozwa bonganga-Nzambe!
11 Therefore thou and all thy company are gathered together against the LORD: and Aaron, what is he that ye murmur against him?
Ezali Yawe nde bosalelaki likita, yo elongo na bato oyo bazali kolanda yo. Aron nde nani mpo ete bokoka koyimayima na tina na ye?
12 And Moses sent to call Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab: and they said, We will not come up:
Mpe na sima, Moyize abengisaki Datani mpe Abirami, bana mibali ya Eliabi. Kasi bazongisaki: — Tokoya te!
13 is it a small thing that thou hast brought us up out of a land flowing with milk and honey, to kill us in the wilderness, but thou must needs make thyself also a prince over us?
Ekoki kaka te mpo na yo kobimisa biso na mokili oyo ezali kobimisa miliki mpe mafuta ya nzoyi, mpo na koya kobomisa biso kati na esobe? Sik’oyo olingi lisusu kokoma mokonzi na biso?
14 Moreover thou hast not brought us into a land flowing with milk and honey, nor given us inheritance of fields and vineyards: wilt thou put out the eyes of these men? we will not come up.
Te, okotisi biso kutu te na mokili oyo ezali kobimisa miliki mpe mafuta ya nzoyi to opesi biso ata libula moko te ya bilanga to ya bilanga ya vino. Boni, okanisi ete bato oyo bakufa miso? Te, tokoya te!
15 And Moses was very wroth, and said unto the LORD, Respect not thou their offering: I have not taken one ass from them, neither have I hurt one of them.
Moyize asilikaki makasi mpe alobaki na Yawe: — Kondima makabo na bango te. Nazwaki ata eloko moko te epai na bango, ezala ane; mpe nasalaki ata moto moko te mabe kati na bango.
16 And Moses said unto Korah, Be thou and all thy congregation before the LORD, thou, and they, and Aaron, tomorrow:
Moyize alobaki na Kore: — Lobi, yo mpe bato nyonso oyo bazali kolanda yo, bokotelema elongo na Aron liboso ya Yawe.
17 and take ye every man his censer, and put incense upon them, and bring ye before the LORD every man his censer, two hundred and fifty censers; thou also, and Aaron, each his censer.
Moko na moko akokamata mbabola na ye, oyo batumbelaka malasi, bongo akotia malasi ya ansa kati na yango mpe akomema yango liboso ya Yawe. Bambabola nyonso ekozala nkama mibale na tuku mitano; yo mpe elongo na Aron bokomema bambabola na bino.
18 And they took every man his censer, and put fire in them, and laid incense thereon, and stood at the door of the tent of meeting with Moses and Aaron.
Moto na moto akamataki mbabola na ye, atiaki moto mpe malasi ya ansa kati na yango; bongo atelemaki esika moko na Moyize mpe Aron, na ekotelo ya Ndako ya kapo ya Bokutani.
19 And Korah assembled all the congregation against them unto the door of the tent of meeting: and the glory of the LORD appeared unto all the congregation.
Tango Kore asangisaki bato nyonso oyo bazalaki kolanda ye mpo na kotelemela Moyize mpe Aron, na ekotelo ya Ndako ya kapo ya Bokutani, nkembo ya Yawe ebimelaki lisanga mobimba,
20 And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,
mpe Yawe alobaki na Moyize mpe Aron:
21 Separate yourselves from among this congregation, that I may consume them in a moment.
— Bokabwana na lisanga ya bato oyo mpo ete nalingi kosilisa bango kaka na mbala moko.
22 And they fell upon their faces, and said, O God, the God of the spirits of all flesh, shall one man sin, and wilt thou be wroth with all the congregation?
Kasi Moyize mpe Aron bakweyaki bilongi kino na mabele mpe bagangaki: — Eh Nzambe ya milimo nyonso ya bato! Okosilikela lisanga mobimba likolo ya lisumu ya moto moko kaka?
23 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
Bongo, Yawe alobaki na Moyize:
24 Speak unto the congregation, saying, Get you up from about the tabernacle of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram.
— Loba na lisanga ete bakende mosika ya bandako ya kapo ya Kore, ya Datani mpe ya Abirami.
25 And Moses rose up and went unto Dathan and Abiram; and the elders of Israel followed him.
Moyize atelemaki mpe akendeki epai ya Datani mpe Abirami; mpe bakambi nyonso ya Isalaele balandaki ye.
26 And he spake unto the congregation, saying, Depart, I pray you, from the tents of these wicked men, and touch nothing of theirs, lest ye be consumed in all their sins.
Akebisaki lisanga mobimba: « Bozala mosika ya bandako ya kapo ya bato oyo ya mabe. Bosimba ata eloko moko te ya bango, noki te bokokufa likolo ya masumu na bango! »
27 So they gat them up from the tabernacle of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram, on every side: and Dathan and Abiram came out, and stood at the door of their tents, and their wives, and their sons, and their little ones.
Boye bakendeki mosika ya bandako ya kapo ya Kore, ya Datani mpe ya Abirami. Datani mpe Abirami elongo na basi, bana mpe bakoko na bango babimaki libanda mpe bakendeki kotelema liboso ya bikotelo ya bandako na bango ya kapo.
28 And Moses said, Hereby ye shall know that the LORD hath sent me to do all these works; for [I have] not [done them] of mine own mind.
Bongo Moyize alobaki: « Tala ndenge nini bokoyeba solo ete Yawe atindaki ngai kosala makambo oyo nyonso, kasi ezali makanisi ya motema na ngai moko te:
29 If these men die the common death of all men, or if they be visited after the visitation of all men; then the LORD hath not sent me.
Soki bato oyo bakufi kufa ya bato nyonso mpe bamoni makambo oyo bato nyonso bamonaka, wana nde Yawe atindaki ngai te!
30 But if the LORD make a new thing, and the ground open her mouth, and swallow them up, with all that appertain unto them, and they go down alive into the pit; then ye shall understand that these men have despised the LORD. (Sheol h7585)
Kasi soki Yawe asali penza likambo moko ya sika, bongo mabele efungoli monoko na yango mpe emeli bango elongo na biloko na bango nyonso, mpe bakiti ya bomoi kati na mokili ya bakufi, wana nde bokoyeba solo ete bato oyo batiolaki Yawe. » (Sheol h7585)
31 And it came to pass, as he made an end of speaking all these words, that the ground clave asunder that was under them:
Tango kaka asilisaki koloba makambo oyo nyonso, mabele efungwamaki na se ya matambe ya Datani mpe Abirami;
32 and the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed them up, and their households, and all the men that appertained unto Korah, and all their goods.
efungolaki monoko na yango mpe emelaki bango elongo na mabota na bango, bato ya Kore nyonso elongo na bozwi na bango nyonso.
33 So they, and all that appertained to them, went down alive into the pit: and the earth closed upon them, and they perished from among the assembly. (Sheol h7585)
Bakitaki ya bomoi kati na mokili ya bakufi elongo na biloko na bango nyonso, mabele ezipaki bango mpe bakufaki ndenge wana. Mpe balimwaki kati na lisanga. (Sheol h7585)
34 And all Israel that were round about them fled at the cry of them: for they said, Lest the earth swallow us up.
Bato nyonso ya Isalaele oyo bazalaki pembeni na bango bakimaki tango bayokaki bango koganga. Bazalaki komilobela: « Mabele ekomela biso mpe lokola! »
35 And fire came forth from the LORD, and devoured the two hundred and fifty men that offered the incense.
Moto ewutaki epai na Yawe mpe etumbaki bato nkama mibale na tuku mitano oyo bazalaki kobonza malasi ya ansa.
36 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
Yawe alobaki na Moyize:
37 Speak unto Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest, that he take up the censers out of the burning, and scatter thou the fire yonder; for they are holy;
« Loba na Eleazari, mwana mobali ya Nganga-Nzambe Aron, ete balongola bambabola oyo batumbelaka malasi na kati-kati ya moto, mpe bapanza makala ya moto mosika, pamba te bambabola wana ezali bule.
38 even the censers of these sinners against their own lives, and let them be made beaten plates for a covering of the altar: for they offered them before the LORD, therefore they are holy: and they shall be a sign unto the children of Israel.
Tika ete bakamata bambabola yango, atako ezali ya bato oyo bakufaki likolo ya masumu na bango; mpe tika ete batuta yango na marto mpo ete ekoma papala mpe batia yango likolo ya etumbelo, pamba te bamemaki yango liboso ya Yawe mpe ekomaki bule. Tika ete yango ekoma elembo mpo na bana ya Isalaele. »
39 And Eleazar the priest took the brasen censers, which they that were burnt had offered; and they beat them out for a covering of the altar:
Boye, Nganga-Nzambe Eleazari alokotaki bambabola nyonso ya bronze oyo bato oyo bazikaki na moto bamemaki, mpe atutaki yango na marto mpo na kotia yango likolo ya etumbelo;
40 to be a memorial unto the children of Israel, to the end that no stranger, which is not of the seed of Aaron, come near to burn incense before the LORD; that he be not as Korah, and as his company: as the LORD spake unto him by the hand of Moses.
ndenge Yawe atindaki ye, na nzela ya Moyize. Yango ekozala lokola ekaniseli mpo na bana ya Isalaele ete moto moko te, moto oyo abulisama te, moto oyo azali mopaya liboso ya bakitani ya Aron, akoki koya kotumba malasi ya ansa liboso ya Yawe, noki te akokoma lokola Kore mpe bato oyo balandaki ye.
41 But on the morrow all the congregation of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron, saying, Ye have killed the people of the LORD.
Mokolo oyo elandaki, lisanga mobimba ya bana ya Isalaele ekomaki koyimayima mpo na Moyize mpe Aron. Bazalaki koloba: « Bino bobomi bato na Yawe. »
42 And it came to pass, when the congregation was assembled against Moses and against Aaron, that they looked toward the tent of meeting: and, behold, the cloud covered it, and the glory of the LORD appeared.
Kasi tango lisanga mobimba esanganaki mpo na kotelemela Moyize mpe Aron, babalukaki na ngambo ya Ndako ya kapo ya Bokutani, mpe mbala moko lipata ezipaki yango mpe nkembo na Yawe emonisamaki.
43 And Moses and Aaron came to the front of the tent of meeting.
Boye, Moyize mpe Aron bakendeki liboso ya Ndako ya kapo ya Bokutani
44 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
mpe Yawe alobaki na Moyize:
45 Get you up from among this congregation, that I may consume them in a moment. And they fell upon their faces.
« Bokende mosika ya lisanga oyo mpo ete nasilisa bango kaka na mbala moko. » Mpe bakweyaki bilongi kino na mabele.
46 And Moses said unto Aaron, Take thy censer, and put fire therein from off the altar, and lay incense thereon, and carry it quickly unto the congregation, and make atonement for them: for there is wrath gone out from the LORD; the plague is begun.
Moyize alobaki na Aron: « Kamata mbabola na yo mpe tia malasi ya ansa kati na yango elongo na moto ya etumbelo. Bongo, kima mbangu kati na lisanga mpo na kosala mosala ya bolimbisi masumu mpo na bango, pamba te kanda makasi ebimi liboso ya Yawe, etumbu ezali koya. »
47 And Aaron took as Moses spake, and ran into the midst of the assembly; and, behold, the plague was begun among the people: and he put on the incense, and made atonement for the people.
Aron asalaki ndenge kaka Moyize alobaki, mpe akimaki mbangu na kati-kati ya lisanga. Nzokande, etumbu emibandelaki kosala mosala na yango na kati-kati ya bato, kasi Aron abonzaki malasi ya ansa mpe asalaki mosala ya bolimbisi masumu mpo na bango.
48 And he stood between the dead and the living; and the plague was stayed.
Atelemaki na kati-kati ya bato oyo bazalaki na bomoi mpe oyo bazalaki ya kokufa mpe etumbu esilaki.
49 Now they that died by the plague were fourteen thousand and seven hundred, besides them that died about the matter of Korah.
Nzokande, bato nkoto zomi na minei na nkama sambo bakufaki na etumbu wana, bakisa oyo bakufaki likolo ya Kore.
50 And Aaron returned unto Moses unto the door of the tent of meeting: and the plague was stayed.
Bongo, Aron azongaki epai ya Moyize na ekotelo ya Ndako ya kapo ya Bokutani, pamba te etumbu esilaki.
