Numbers 10
1 Yahweh also told Moses/me,
Yawe alobaki na Moyize:
2 “[Tell someone to] make two trumpets by hammering each one from [one lump of] silver. Blow the trumpets to summon the people to come together and also to signal that they must move their tents [to a new location].
« Sala bakelelo mibale na palata oyo batuta. Okosalela yango mpo na kobengisa lisanga mpe mpo na kopesa mitindo ya kolongola molako.
3 If both trumpets are blown, it means that everyone must gather together at the entrance of the Sacred Tent.
Soki bakelelo nyonso mibale ebeti nzela moko, lisanga mobimba ekosangana pembeni na yo, na ekotelo ya Ndako ya kapo ya Bokutani.
4 If only one trumpet is blown, it means that only the [twelve] leaders of the tribes must gather together.
Soki kelelo moko kaka nde ebeti, kaka bakambi, bakonzi ya bituka ya Isalaele nde bakosangana liboso na yo.
5 If the trumpets are blown loudly, the tribes that are to the east [of the Sacred Tent] should start to travel.
Soki kelelo ebeti makasi, mabota oyo etongi molako na ngambo ya este ekokende.
6 When the trumpets are blown loudly the second time, the tribes that are to the south should start to travel. The loud blasts on the trumpet will signal that they should start to travel.
Soki ebeti makasi mpo na mbala ya mibale, mabota oyo etongi molako na ngambo ya sude ekokende. Ebeteli ya kelelo nde ekozala elembo mpo na kopesa mbela ya kokende.
7 When you want only to gather the people together, blow the trumpets, but do not blow them as loudly.
Mpo na kosangisa lisanga, beta bakelelo, kasi makasi te.
8 “The priests who are descended from Aaron are the ones who should blow the trumpets. That is a regulation that will never be changed.
Bana mibali ya Aron, Banganga-Nzambe, bango nde bakobanda kobeta bakelelo yango. Ekozala mobeko ya libela mpo na bino mpe bakitani na bino.
9 When you fight against enemies who attack you in your own land, tell the priests to blow the trumpets loudly. I, Yahweh, your God, will hear that, and I will rescue you from your enemies.
Tango, kati na mokili na bino moko, bokokende na bitumba mpo na kotelemela monguna oyo azali konyokola bino, bokobeta bakelelo na bino makasi. Boye, Yawe, Nzambe na bino, akokanisa bino mpe akokangola bino na maboko ya banguna na bino.
10 Also tell the priests to blow the trumpets when the people are happy, and at the festivals [each year], and at the times when they celebrate the new moon each month. Tell them to blow the trumpets when the people bring offerings that will be completely burned, and when they bring offerings to maintain fellowship with me. If they do that, it will help you to remember that I, Yahweh your God, [will help you].”
Mpe lisusu, na batango na bino ya kosepela, na bafeti na bino oyo ekatama mpe ya ebandeli ya sanza, bokobeta bakelelo mpo na kobonza mbeka na bino ya kotumba mpe ya boyokani. Yango ekozala ekaniseli mpo na bino na miso ya Nzambe na bino. Nazali Yawe, Nzambe na bino. »
11 On the twentieth day of May in the second year [after the/we Israelis left Egypt], the cloud rose up from above the Sacred Tent.
Na mokolo ya tuku mibale, ya sanza ya mibale, ya mobu oyo ya mibale, lipata etelemaki na likolo ya Mongombo ya Litatoli.
12 So we/the Israelis traveled from the Sinai Desert, and we/they continued traveling [north] until the cloud stopped in the Paran Desert.
Boye, bana ya Isalaele balongwaki na esobe ya Sinai, basalaki mobembo mpe batambolaki bisika na bisika kino tango lipata eyaki kopema na esobe ya Parani.
13 That was the first time we/they moved, obeying the instructions that Yahweh had given to Moses/me to tell them.
Ezalaki mbala na bango ya liboso ya kolongwa na molako mpe kotambola kolanda mitindo oyo Yawe apesaki na nzela ya Moyize.
14 The group that went first, carrying their flag/banner, was the group from the tribe of Judah. Nahshon, the son of Amminadab, was their leader.
Mampinga ya molako ya Yuda ezalaki kotambola liboso, elongo na bendele na bango. Nashoni, mwana mobali ya Aminadabi, nde azalaki mokonzi na bango.
15 The group from the tribe of Issachar [followed them]. Nethanel, the son of Zuar, was their leader.
Netaneeli, mwana mobali ya Tsuwari, azalaki mokonzi ya mampinga ya libota ya Isakari.
16 The group from the tribe of Zebulun went next. Eliab, the son of Helon, was their leader.
Eliabi, mwana mobali ya Eloni, azalaki mokonzi ya mampinga ya libota ya Zabuloni.
17 Then they dismantled the Sacred Tent, and the descendants of Gershon and Merari carried it, and they went next.
Bongo bakabolaki Mongombo na biteni-biteni. Bakitani ya Gerishoni mpe ya Merari nde bamemaki yango mpe bakendeki.
18 The group from the tribe of Reuben went next, carrying their flag. Elizur, the son of Shedeur, was their leader.
Mampinga ya molako ya Ribeni elandaki na sima mpo na kotambola. Elitsuri, mwana mobali ya Shedewuri, nde azalaki mokonzi na bango.
19 The group from the tribe of Simeon was next. Shelumiel, the son of Zurishaddai, was their leader.

20 The group from the tribe of Gad was next. Eliasaph, the son of Deuel, was their leader.
Eliazafi, mwana mobali ya Deweli, azalaki mokonzi ya mampinga ya libota ya Gadi.
21 The group descended from Kohath was next. They carried the sacred items from the Sacred Tent. The Sacred Tent itself was set up at the new location before they arrived there.
Sima, bato ya Keati bakendeki mpe bamemaki biloko ya bule. Balevi mosusu bazalaki kotonga Mongombo liboso ete bakoma.
22 The group from the tribe of Ephraim was next, carrying their flag. Elishama, the son of Ammihud, was their leader.
Mampinga ya molako ya Efrayimi elandaki mpe na sima mpo na kotambola. Elishama, mwana mobali ya Amiwudi, nde azalaki mokonzi na bango.
23 The group from the tribe of Manasseh went next. Gamaliel, the son of Pedahzur, was their leader.
Gamilieli, mwana mobali ya Pedakitsuri, azalaki mokonzi ya mampinga ya libota ya Manase.
24 The group from the tribe of Benjamin, went next. Abidan, the son of Gideoni, was their leader.
Abidani, mwana mobali ya Gideoni, azalaki mokonzi ya mampinga ya libota ya Benjame.
25 The ones who went last were the group from the tribe of Dan, carrying their flag. Ahiezer, the son of Ammishaddai, was their leader.
Boye, mpo na kosukisa, mampinga ya libota ya Dani mpe elandaki na sima mpo na kotambola na se ya bendele na bango. Akiezeri, mwana mobali ya Amishadayi, nde azalaki mokonzi na bango.
26 The group from the tribe of Asher went next. Pagiel, the son of Ocran, was their leader.

27 The group from the tribe of Naphtali went last. Ahira, the son of Enan, was their leader.
mpe Akira, mwana mobali ya Enani, azalaki mokonzi ya mampinga ya libota ya Nefitali.
28 That was the order in which the groups of Israeli tribes traveled.
Wana nde ezalaki molongo oyo mampinga ya bana ya Isalaele ezalaki kotambola na yango.
29 One day Moses/I said to his/my brother-in-law Hobab, the son of Reuel from the Midian people-group, “We are on the way to the place that Yahweh promised to give to us. Come with us, and we will take good care of you, because Yahweh has promised [to do] good things for us Israeli people.”
Moyize alobaki na Obabi, mwana mobali ya Reweli, moto ya Madiani, bokilo ya Moyize: — Tozali kokende na mokili oyo Yawe alobaki: « Nakopesa bino mokili yango. » Yaka kotambola elongo na biso. Tokosala ete obika bolamu oyo Yawe alakaki kosalela Isalaele.
30 But Hobab replied, “No, I will not go with you. I want to return to my own land and to my own family.”
Obabi azongiselaki ye: — Te! Nakokende elongo na bino te, nakozonga na mboka na ngai, kati na libota na ngai.
31 But Moses/I said, “Please do not leave us. You know the places where we can set up our tents in this desert, and you can guide us.
Kasi Moyize alobaki: — Nabondeli yo: kotika biso te, pamba te yo nde oyebi bisika oyo tosengeli kotonga molako kati na esobe; okozala motambolisi na biso.
32 Come with us. We will share with you all the good things that Yahweh gives to us.”
Soki otamboli na biso elongo, tokokabola elongo na yo eloko nyonso ya malamu oyo Yawe akopesa biso.
33 [So Hobab agreed to go with them]. The Israelis left Sinai Mountain, [which they called] Yahweh’s Mountain, and they walked for three days. The [men carrying the] sacred chest went in front of the other people for those three days, and they kept looking for a place to set up their tents.
Boye, balongwaki na ngomba ya Yawe mpe batambolaki mikolo misato ya mobembo. Sanduku ya Boyokani ya Yawe etambolaki liboso na bango na mobembo oyo ya mikolo misato mpo na kolukela bango esika ya kopema.
34 The cloud sent by Yahweh was over them every day.
Na moyi, lipata na Yawe ezalaki likolo na bango, na tango bazalaki kolongola molako.
35 Each morning when the men who were carrying the sacred chest started to walk, Moses/I said, “Yahweh, arise! Scatter your enemies! Cause those who hate you to run away from you!”
Tango nyonso Sanduku ezalaki kokende, Moyize azalaki koloba: « Oh Yawe, telema! Tika ete banguna na Yo bapalangana! Tika ete banguna na Yo bakima liboso na Yo! »
36 And each time the men [stopped to] set down the sacred chest, Moses/I said, “Yahweh, stay close to the thousands of us Israelis!”
Mpe tango nyonso lipata ezalaki kopema, azalaki koloba: « Oh Yawe, zonga kati na bana ya Isalaele, pamba te bazali ebele penza! »
