Mitango 10
1 Yawe alobaki na Moyize:
The Lord told Moses,
2 « Sala bakelelo mibale na palata oyo batuta. Okosalela yango mpo na kobengisa lisanga mpe mpo na kopesa mitindo ya kolongola molako.
“Make two trumpets out of hammered silver. They are to be used for summoning the Israelites and to have the camp move out.
3 Soki bakelelo nyonso mibale ebeti nzela moko, lisanga mobimba ekosangana pembeni na yo, na ekotelo ya Ndako ya kapo ya Bokutani.
When both trumpets are blown, all the Israelites are to gather before you at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting.
4 Soki kelelo moko kaka nde ebeti, kaka bakambi, bakonzi ya bituka ya Isalaele nde bakosangana liboso na yo.
But if only one is blown, then only the tribal leaders are to gather before you.
5 Soki kelelo ebeti makasi, mabota oyo etongi molako na ngambo ya este ekokende.
When you blow the trumpet loudly, which is the alarm signal to move out, the camps on the east side are to march out first.
6 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.
When you blow the trumpet loudly the second time, the camps on the south side are to march out. That's their signal to start moving.
7 Mpo na kosangisa lisanga, beta bakelelo, kasi makasi te.
To summon the people, blow the trumpets normally, not the loud alarm signal.
8 Bana mibali ya Aron, Banganga-Nzambe, bango nde bakobanda kobeta bakelelo yango. Ekozala mobeko ya libela mpo na bino mpe bakitani na bino.
Aaron's descendants are to blow the trumpets. This regulation is for all time and for all future generations.
9 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.
When you're in your own land and have to go into battle against an enemy who has attacked you, blow the alarm signal and the Lord your God won't forget you—he will save you from your enemies.
10 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. »
Blow the trumpets when you celebrate too, at your regular feasts and at the beginning of each month. This is when you give your burnt offerings and fellowship offerings which act as a reminder for you before your God. I am the Lord your God.”
11 Na mokolo ya tuku mibale, ya sanza ya mibale, ya mobu oyo ya mibale, lipata etelemaki na likolo ya Mongombo ya Litatoli.
The cloud rose up from the Tabernacle of the Testimony on the twentieth day of the second month of the second year.
12 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.
The Israelites left the Desert of Sinai and moved from place to place until the cloud stopped in the Desert of Paran.
13 Ezalaki mbala na bango ya liboso ya kolongwa na molako mpe kotambola kolanda mitindo oyo Yawe apesaki na nzela ya Moyize.
This was the first time they moved out following the Lord's command through Moses.
14 Mampinga ya molako ya Yuda ezalaki kotambola liboso, elongo na bendele na bango. Nashoni, mwana mobali ya Aminadabi, nde azalaki mokonzi na bango.

Then the Tabernacle was dismantled, and the Gershonites and the Merarites set off, carrying it.

Then the Kohathites set off, carrying the holy objects. The Tabernacle would be put up before they arrived.

28 Wana nde ezalaki molongo oyo mampinga ya bana ya Isalaele ezalaki kotambola na yango.
This was the order in which the Israelite tribal divisions moved out.
29 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.
Moses explained to Hobab, the son of Moses' father-in-law Reuel the Midianite, “We're leaving for the place of which the Lord promised, ‘I'm going to give it to you.’ Come with us, and we'll be good to you, because the Lord has promised good things to Israel.”
30 Obabi azongiselaki ye: — Te! Nakokende elongo na bino te, nakozonga na mboka na ngai, kati na libota na ngai.
“No, I won't go—I'll return to my own country and my own people,” Hobab replied.
31 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.
“Please don't abandon us now,” Moses said, “because you're the one who knows where we should camp in the desert and you can guide us.
32 Soki otamboli na biso elongo, tokokabola elongo na yo eloko nyonso ya malamu oyo Yawe akopesa biso.
If you come with us, whatever good things the Lord blesses us with we'll share with you.”
33 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.
They left the mountain of the Lord to go on a three-day journey The Ark of the Lord's Agreement led the way for them during these three days to find a place for them to camp.
34 Na moyi, lipata na Yawe ezalaki likolo na bango, na tango bazalaki kolongola molako.
The cloud of the Lord was above them during day as they moved on from the camp.
35 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! »
Whenever the Ark was carried out, Moses would call out, “Stand up, Lord, and may your enemies be scattered, and may those who hate you run away from you.”
36 Mpe tango nyonso lipata ezalaki kopema, azalaki koloba: « Oh Yawe, zonga kati na bana ya Isalaele, pamba te bazali ebele penza! »
Whenever it was set down, he would call out, “Return, Lord, to the thousands and thousands of the people of Israel.”
