Numbers 16
1 Now Korah son of Izhar son of Kohath son of Levi, along with Dathan and Abiram sons of Eliab, and On son of Peleth, descendants of Reuben, gathered some 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 They rose up against Moses, along with other men from the people of Israel, two hundred and fifty leaders of the community who were well-known members in the community.
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 They assembled themselves together to confront Moses and Aaron. They said to them, “You have gone too far! All the community is set apart, every one of them, and Yahweh is among them. Why do you lift up yourselves above the rest of Yahweh's community?”
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 When Moses heard that, he lay facedown.
Tango Moyize ayokaki bongo, akweyaki elongi kino na mabele.
5 He spoke to Korah and to all those with him, “In the morning Yahweh will make known who belongs to him and who is set apart to him. He will bring that person near to him. The one he chooses he will bring near to himself.
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 Do this, Korah and all your group. Take censers
Yo, Kore, elongo na bato nyonso oyo bazali kolanda yo, bokosala likambo oyo: Bokamata bambabola oyo batumbelaka malasi
7 tomorrow and put fire and incense in them before Yahweh. The one whom Yahweh chooses, that man will be set apart to Yahweh. You have gone too far, you descendants 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 Again, Moses said to Korah, “Now listen, you descendants of Levi:
Moyize alobaki lisusu na Kore: — Bino Balevi, boyoka sik’oyo!
9 is it a small thing for you that the God of Israel has separated you from the community of Israel, to bring you near to himself, to do work in Yahweh's tabernacle, and to stand before the community to serve 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 He has brought you near, and all your kinfolk, the descendants of Levi, with you, yet you are seeking 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 That is why you and all your group have gathered together against Yahweh. So why are you complaining about Aaron, who obeys Yahweh?”
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 Then Moses called for Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, but 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 you have brought us up out of a land flowing with milk and honey, to kill us in the wilderness? Now you want to make yourself ruler 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 In addition, you have not brought us into a land flowing with milk and honey, or given us the fields and vineyards as an inheritance. Now do you want to blind us with empty promises? We will not come to you.”
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 Moses was very angry and said to Yahweh, “Do not respect their offering. I have not taken one donkey from them, and I have not harmed any 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 Then Moses said to Korah, “Tomorrow you and all your company must go before Yahweh—you and they, and Aaron.
Moyize alobaki na Kore: — Lobi, yo mpe bato nyonso oyo bazali kolanda yo, bokotelema elongo na Aron liboso ya Yawe.
17 Each of you must take his censer and put incense in it. Then each man must bring before Yahweh his censer, two hundred and fifty censers. You and Aaron, also, must each bring your 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 So every man took his censer, put fire in it, laid incense in it, and stood at the entrance to 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 Korah assembled all the community against Moses and Aaron at the entrance to the tent of meeting, and Yahweh's glory appeared to all the community.
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 Then Yahweh spoke to Moses and to Aaron:
mpe Yawe alobaki na Moyize mpe Aron:
21 “Separate yourselves from among this community that I may consume them immediately.”
— Bokabwana na lisanga ya bato oyo mpo ete nalingi kosilisa bango kaka na mbala moko.
22 Moses and Aaron lay facedown and said, “God, the God of the spirits of all humanity, if one man sins, must you be angry with all the community?”
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 Yahweh replied to Moses. He said,
Bongo, Yawe alobaki na Moyize:
24 “Speak to the community. Say, 'Get away from the tents of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram.'”
— Loba na lisanga ete bakende mosika ya bandako ya kapo ya Kore, ya Datani mpe ya Abirami.
25 Then Moses rose up and went to Dathan and Abiram; the elders of Israel followed him.
Moyize atelemaki mpe akendeki epai ya Datani mpe Abirami; mpe bakambi nyonso ya Isalaele balandaki ye.
26 He spoke to the community and said, “Now leave the tents of these wicked men and touch nothing of theirs, or you will be consumed by 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 the community on every side of the tents of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram left them. Dathan and Abiram came out and stood at the entrance to their tents, with their wives, 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 Then Moses said, “By this you will know that Yahweh has sent me to do all these works, for I have not done them of my own accord.
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 a natural death such as normally happens, then Yahweh has 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 Yahweh creates something new, and the earth opens its mouth and swallows them, with everything that they possess, and they go down alive into Sheol, then you must understand that these men have despised Yahweh.” (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 As soon as Moses finished speaking all these words, the ground opened under those men.
Tango kaka asilisaki koloba makambo oyo nyonso, mabele efungwamaki na se ya matambe ya Datani mpe Abirami;
32 The earth opened its mouth and swallowed them, their families, and all the people who belonged to Korah, as well as all their possessions.
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 they possessed went down alive into Sheol. The earth closed over them, and they perished from among the community. (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 All Israel around them fled from their cries. They exclaimed, “The earth may swallow us up also!”
Bato nyonso ya Isalaele oyo bazalaki pembeni na bango bakimaki tango bayokaki bango koganga. Bazalaki komilobela: « Mabele ekomela biso mpe lokola! »
35 Then fire flashed out from Yahweh and devoured the 250 men who had offered incense.
Moto ewutaki epai na Yawe mpe etumbaki bato nkama mibale na tuku mitano oyo bazalaki kobonza malasi ya ansa.
36 Again Yahweh spoke to Moses and said,
Yawe alobaki na Moyize:
37 “Speak to Eleazar son of Aaron the priest and let him take up the censers out of the flames, for the censers are set apart to me. Then let him scatter the burning coals at a distance.
« 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 Take the censers of those who lost their lives because of their sin. Let them be made into hammered plates as a covering over the altar. Those men did offer them before me, so they are set apart to me. They will be a sign of my presence to the people 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 Eleazar the priest took the bronze censers that had been used by the men who were burned up, and they were hammered out into a covering for 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 reminder to the people of Israel, so that no outsider who was not descended from Aaron should come up to burn incense before Yahweh, so they might not become like Korah and his group—just as Yahweh had commanded through 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 the next morning all the community of the people of Israel complained against Moses and Aaron. They said, “You have killed Yahweh's people.”
Mokolo oyo elandaki, lisanga mobimba ya bana ya Isalaele ekomaki koyimayima mpo na Moyize mpe Aron. Bazalaki koloba: « Bino bobomi bato na Yawe. »
42 Then it happened, when the community had assembled against Moses and Aaron, that they looked toward the tent of meeting and, behold, the cloud was covering it. Yahweh's glory 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 Then Yahweh spoke to Moses. He said,
mpe Yawe alobaki na Moyize:
45 “Go away from in front of this community so that I may consume them immediately.” Then Moses and Aaron lay down with their faces to the ground.
« Bokende mosika ya lisanga oyo mpo ete nasilisa bango kaka na mbala moko. » Mpe bakweyaki bilongi kino na mabele.
46 Moses said to Aaron, “Take the censer, put fire in it from off the altar, put incense in it, carry it quickly to the community, and make atonement for them, because anger is coming from Yahweh. The plague has 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 So Aaron did as Moses directed. He ran into the middle of the community. The plague had quickly started to spread among the people, so he put in 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 Aaron stood between the dead and the living; in this way the plague was stopped.
Atelemaki na kati-kati ya bato oyo bazalaki na bomoi mpe oyo bazalaki ya kokufa mpe etumbu esilaki.
49 Those who died by the plague were 14,700 in number, besides those who had died in the matter of Korah.
Nzokande, bato nkoto zomi na minei na nkama sambo bakufaki na etumbu wana, bakisa oyo bakufaki likolo ya Kore.
50 Aaron returned to Moses at the entrance to the tent of meeting, and the plague ended.
Bongo, Aron azongaki epai ya Moyize na ekotelo ya Ndako ya kapo ya Bokutani, pamba te etumbu esilaki.
