Numbers 22
1 And thei yeden forth, and settiden tentis in the feeldi places of Moab, where Jerico is set ouer Jordan.
Bana ya Isalaele batambolaki mobembo na bitando ya Moabi mpe batongaki molako na bango pembeni-pembeni ya ebale Yordani, oyo ezalaki etalana na Jeriko.
2 Forsothe Balach, the sone of Sephor, siy alle thingis whiche Israel hadde do to Ammorrei,
Boye Balaki, mwana mobali ya Tsipori, ayokaki sango ya makambo nyonso oyo bana ya Isalaele basalaki bato ya Amori.
3 and that men of Moab `hadden dred Israel, and miyten not bere the assailing of him.
Mpe bato ya Moabi bakomaki kobanga makasi mpo ete bana ya Isalaele bazalaki ebele penza. Boye, bakomaki na somo mingi liboso ya bana ya Isalaele.
4 And he seide to the grettere men in birthe of Madian, So this puple schal do a wei alle men that dwellen in oure coostis, as an oxe is wont to do awei an eerbe `til to the rootis. Forsothe he, `that is, Balaac, was kyng in that tyme in Moab.
Bongo bato ya Moabi balobaki na bakambi ya Madiani: « Ebele ya bato oyo bazali koya mpo na kobebisa biloko nyonso oyo ezingeli biso lokola ngombe oyo ezali kolia matiti ya elanga. » Na tango wana, ezalaki Balaki, mwana mobali ya Tsipori, nde azalaki mokonzi ya Moabi.
5 Therfor he sente messangeris to Balaam, the sone of Beor, a fals diuynour, that dwellide on the flood of the lond of the sones of Amon, that thei schulden clepe hym, and schulden seie, Lo! a puple yede out of Egipt, `which puple hilide the face of erthe, and sittith ayens me.
Atindaki bantoma kobenga Balami, mwana mobali ya Beori, oyo azalaki kovanda na Petori, pembeni ya ebale Efrate, mboka oyo ye abotama. Balaki alobaki na Balami: — Bato moko bawuti kobima na Ejipito, batondisi mokili mobimba mpe bayei sik’oyo kovanda pembeni na ngai.
6 Therfor come thou, and curse this puple, which is strongere than Y, if in ony maner Y may smyte and dryue hym out of my lond; for Y knowe, that he is blissid whom thou blissist, and he is cursid whom thou hast cursid.
Nabondeli yo, yaka kolakela bango mabe, pamba te bazali makasi mingi koleka ngai, tango mosusu nakokoka kolonga bango mpe kobengana bango na mboka. Pamba te nayebi ete bato oyo opamboli, bapambolamaka; mpe ba-oyo olakeli mabe, balakelamaka mpe mabe.
7 The eldere men of Moab and the grettere men in birthe of Madian yeden forth, hauynge in hondis the prijs of fals dyuynyng; and whanne thei hadden come to Balaam, and hadden teld to hym alle the wordis of Balaach, he answeride,
Bakambi ya Moabi mpe ya Madiani bakendeki mpe bamemaki makabo mpo na kopesa na Balami, momoni makambo. Tango bakomaki epai ya Balami, bayebisaki ye makambo oyo Balaki atindaki.
8 Dwelle ye here to nyyt, and Y schal answere what euer thing the Lord schal seie to me. Sotheli while thei dwelliden at Balaam, God cam, and seide to hym,
Balami alobaki na bango: — Bolekisa butu awa, mpe nakozongisela bino eyano oyo Yawe akopesa ngai. Boye bakambi ya Moabi bavandaki elongo na ye.
9 What wolen these men at thee `to hem silf?
Nzambe ayaki epai ya Balami mpe atunaki ye: — Bato oyo bazali epai na yo bazali banani?
10 Balaam answeride, Balaach, the sone of Sephor, kyng of Moabitis, sente to me, and seide, Lo!
Balami alobaki na Nzambe: — Balaki, mwana mobali ya Tsipori, mokonzi ya Moabi, atindeli ngai maloba oyo:
11 a puple which is gon out of Egipt hilide the face of erthe; come thou, and curse hem, if in ony maner Y may fiyte, and dryue hym awey.
« Bato moko bawuti kobima na Ejipito mpe batondisi mokili mobimba. Sik’oyo yaka mpe lakela bango mabe mpo na ngai. Tango mosusu nakokoka kobundisa bango mpe kobengana bango. »
12 And God seide to Balaam, Nyle thou go with hem, nether curse thou the puple, for it is blessid.
Kasi Nzambe alobaki na Balami: — Kokende elongo na bango te. Okoki kolakela bato wana mabe te, pamba te bazali bato bapambolama.
13 Which Balaam roos eerli, and seide to the princes, Go ye in to youre lond, for God forbeed me to come with you.
Na tongo ya mokolo oyo elandaki, Balami alamukaki mpe alobaki na bakambi ya Balaki: — Bozonga na mboka na bino, pamba te Yawe aboyi ete nakende elongo na bino.
14 The princes turneden ayen, and seiden to Balaach, Balaam nolde come with vs.
Boye, bakambi ya Moabi bazongaki epai ya Balaki mpe balobaki: — Balami aboyi koya elongo na biso.
15 Eft Balaach sente many mo and noblere men, than he hadde sent bifore;
Balaki atindaki bakambi mosusu oyo bazalaki mingi mpe na lokumu koleka bakambi oyo atindaki liboso.
16 whiche seiden, whanne thei hadden come to Balaam, Balaach, the sone of Sephor, seith thus, Tarye thou not to come to me, redi to onoure thee;
Bakomaki epai ya Balami mpe balobaki: — Tala liloba oyo Balaki, mwana ya mobali ya Tsipori alobi: « Tika ete eloko moko te epekisa yo koya epai na ngai!
17 and what euer thing thou wolt, Y schal yyue to thee; come thou, and curse this puple.
Pamba te nakopesa yo lifuti ya malamu mpe nakosala nyonso oyo okoloba. Yaka penza mpe lakela bato oyo mabe mpo na ngai. »
18 Balaam answeride, Thouy Balaach schal yyue to me his howsful of siluer and of gold, Y schal not mowe chaunge the word of my God, that Y speke ethir more ethir lesse.
Kasi Balami azongiselaki bango: — Ezala soki Balaki apesi ngai palata mpe wolo oyo etondi na ndako na ye, nakokoka kosala eloko moko te ya monene to ya moke oyo ekokende libanda ya mibeko ya Yawe, Nzambe na ngai.
19 Y biseche, that ye dwelle here also in this nyyt, that Y may wite what the Lord schal answere eft to me.
Bino mpe lisusu bolekisa butu awa ndenge bandeko na bino basalaki, mpo ete naluka koyeba lisusu likambo oyo Yawe akoyebisa na ngai.
20 Therfor the Lord cam to Balaam in the nyyt, and seide to hym, If these men comen to clepe thee, rise thou, and go with hem, so oneli that thou do that that Y schal comaunde to thee.
Na butu wana, Nzambe ayaki epai na Balami mpe alobaki: — Lokola bato oyo bayei mpo na kobenga yo, kende elongo na bango. Kasi sala kaka makambo oyo nakoyebisa yo.
21 Balaam roos eerli, and whanne his femal asse was sadelid, he yede forth with hem.
Na tongo ya mokolo oyo elandaki, Balami alamukaki, abongisaki ane na ye ya mwasi mpe akendeki elongo na bakambi ya Moabi.
22 And God was wrooth. And the `aungel of the Lord stood in the weie ayens Balam, that sat on the femal asse, and hadde twei children with hym.
Kasi tango akendeki, Nzambe asilikaki makasi mpe anjelu ya Yawe atelemaki na nzela mpo na kokanga ye nzela tango azalaki kotambola likolo ya ane elongo na basali na ye mibale.
23 The femal asse siy the aungel stondynge in the weie, with swerd drawun, and `turnede a wei hir silf fro the weie, and yede bi the feeld. And whanne Balaam beet hir, and wolde lede ayen to the path,
Tango ane emonaki anjelu ya Yawe atelema na kati-kati ya nzela na mopanga ya minu na loboko na ye, ane ebimaki na nzela mpe ekimaki na elanga. Boye, Balami abetaki ane mpo ete ekoka kozonga na nzela.
24 the aungel stood in the streitnessis of twei wallis, with whiche the vyneris weren cumpassid.
Mpe lisusu, anjelu ya Yawe akendeki kotelema na nzela moko ya moke, oyo elekela na kati-kati ya bilanga mibale ya vino, oyo mopanzi moko na moko na yango ezalaki lokola na bamir mibale.
25 And the femal asse siy the aungel, and ioynede hir silf to the wal, and hurtlide the foot of the sittere; and he beet eft `the asse.
Tango ane emonaki anjelu ya Yawe, epusanaki pembeni ya mir, efinaki lokolo ya Balami na mir. Balami abetaki yango lisusu.
26 And neuer the lesse the aungel yede to the streit place, where me `myyte not go out of the weie, nether to the riyt side nether to the left side, and stood ayens hym.
Anjelu ya Yawe alekaki liboso na bango mpe akendeki kotelema na esika moko ya moke penza, epai wapi nzela ya kobalukela na ngambo ya loboko ya mobali to ya mwasi ezali te.
27 And whanne the femal asse siy the aungel stondynge, sche felde doun vndir the feet of the sittere, which was wrooth ful greetli, and beet hir sidis with a staaf.
Tango ane emonaki anjelu ya Yawe, evandelaki Balami, nkolo na yango. Balami atombokaki makasi mpe akomaki kobamba ane lingenda na ye.
28 And the Lord openyde the `mouth of the femal asse, and sche spak, What have Y doon to thee? whi smytist thou me, lo! now the thridde tyme?
Bongo, Yawe afungolaki monoko ya ane, mpe elobaki na Balami: — Likambo nini nasali yo mpo ete okoka kobeta ngai mbala misato?
29 Balaam answeride, For thou hast disserued, and hast scornyd me; Y wolde that Y hadde a swerd to sle thee.
Balami azongiselaki ane: — Ozali kosakana na ngai! Soki nazalaki na mopanga na loboko na ngai, mbele nabomi yo kaka sik’oyo!
30 And the femal asse seide, Whether Y am not thi beeste on which thou were wont to sitte euere til in to this present dai? seie thou, what lijk thing Y dide euere to thee? And he seide, Neuere.
Ane elobi na Balami: — Boni, nazali ane na yo te oyo osalelaka tango nyonso kino na mokolo ya lelo? Nazalaka solo na momesano ya kosalela yo makambo ya boye? Balami azongisaki: — Te!
31 Anoon the Lord openyde `the iyen of Balaam, and he siy the aungel stondynge in the weie, holdynge a drawun swerd in the hoond; and Balaam worschipide hym lowli in to erthe.
Boye, Yawe afungolaki miso ya Balami, mpe Balami amonaki anjelu ya Yawe atelema na nzela, na mopanga na ye ya monene. Bongo, Balami afukamaki mpe akweyaki elongi kino na mabele.
32 To whom the aungel seide, Whi `betist thou thi femal asse `the thridde tyme? Y cam to be aduersarie to thee, for thi weie is weiward, and contrarye to me;
Anjelu ya Yawe atunaki ye: — Mpo na nini obeti ane na yo mbala misato? Nayaki awa mpo na kokanga yo nzela, pamba te nzela na yo ezali mabe liboso na Ngai.
33 and if the femal asse hadde not bowid a wey fro the weie, and youe place to ayenstondere, Y hadde slayn thee, and sche schulde lyue.
Ane emonaki Ngai mpe ekimaki Ngai mbala misato. Soki ekimaki Ngai te, solo penza, nalingaki koboma yo, kasi nalingaki kotika yango na bomoi.
34 Balaam seide, Y synnede, not witynge that thou stodist ayens me; and now, if it displesith thee that Y go, Y schal turne ayen.
Balami alobaki na anjelu ya Yawe: — Nasali masumu. Nayebaki te ete otelemaki na nzela mpo na kokanga ngai nzela. Kasi soki osepeli na mobembo oyo te, nakozonga na ngai.
35 The aungel seide, Go thou with these men, but be war that thou speke not other thing than Y schal comaunde to thee. Therfor Balaam yede with the princes.
Anjelu ya Yawe alobaki na Balami: — Kende elongo na bato oyo kasi okoloba kaka makambo oyo nakoloba na yo. Boye, Balami akendeki elongo na bakambi ya Balaki.
36 And whanne Balaach hadde herde this, he yede out in to the comyng of hym, in the citee of Moabitis, whiche is set in the laste coostis of Arnon.
Tango Balaki ayokaki sango ete Balami azali koya, akendeki kokutana na ye na engumba ya bato ya Moabi, oyo ezalaka na mondelo ya Arinoni, na suka ya mokili na ye.
37 And he seide to Balaam, Y sente messangeris to clepe thee; whi camest thou not anoon to me? whethir for Y may not yelde meede to thi comyng?
Balaki alobaki na Balami: — Boni, natindaki te bato na lombangu mpo na kobenga yo? Mpo na nini oyaki epai na ngai te? Okanisaki ete nazangi makoki ya kofuta yo?
38 To whom Balaam answeride, Lo! Y am present, whethir Y schal mow speke other thing than that, that God schal putte in my mouth?
Balami azongiselaki Balaki: — Malamu, nayei sik’oyo epai na yo. Kasi nakoki solo koloba na yo kaka likambo moko? Nakoloba kaka makambo oyo Nzambe akotia na monoko na ngai.
39 Therfor thei yeden forth to gidere, and camen in to a citee, which was in the laste coost of `his rewme.
Boye, Balami akendeki nzela moko na Balaki kino na Kiriati-Utsoti.
40 And whanne Balaach hadde slayn scheep and oxun, he sente yiftis to Balaam and the princes that weren with hym.
Balaki abonzaki mbeka ya ngombe mpe ya meme, apesaki ndambo epai ya Balami mpe ndambo mosusu epai ya bakambi oyo bazalaki na ye elongo.
41 Forsothe whanne the morewtid was maad, Balaach ledde Balaam to the hiye placis of Baal, and he bihelde the laste part of the puple, `that is, al the oost til to the laste part.
Na tongo ya mokolo oyo elandaki, Balaki amemaki Balami, mpe bamataki na Bamoti-Bala; mpe wuta kuna, bakokaki komona ndambo ya bana ya Isalaele.
