Mitango 11
1 Mokolo moko, bana ya Isalaele bakomaki kolelalela na tina na pasi na bango. Boye, kolelalela yango ekomaki kino na matoyi ya Yawe. Tango ayokaki yango, kanda na Ye emataki makasi mpe moto kowuta epai na Yawe epelaki kati na bango mpe etumbaki ndambo ya bato kati na molako.
And the people murmured sinfully before the Lord; and the Lord heard [them] and was very angry; and fire was kindled among them from the Lord, and devoured a part of the camp.
2 Bato bagangaki epai ya Moyize; ye abondelaki Yawe, mpe moto ekufaki.
And the people cried to Moses: and Moses prayed to the Lord, and the fire was quenched.
3 Boye, bakomaki kobenga esika yango « Tabeera, » pamba te moto ya Yawe ezikisaki bato ya Isalaele.
And the name of that place was called Burning; for a fire was kindled among them from the Lord.
4 Mokolo moko, bato ya bikolo mosusu oyo bazalaki elongo na bana ya Isalaele bakomaki na posa makasi ya kolia misuni. Bongo bana ya Isalaele bakomaki lisusu kolelalela mpe koloba: « Ah, nani penza akoki kopesa biso misuni ya kolia?
And the mixed multitude among them lusted exceedingly; and they and the children of Israel sat down and wept and said, Who shall give us flesh to eat?
5 Tokanisi lisusu bambisi, bandunda ya ndenge na ndenge, pasiteki, bandembi, matungulu, ayi oyo tozalaki kolia ya ofele na Ejipito.
We remember the fish, which we ate in Egypt freely; and the cucumbers, and the melons, and the leeks, and the garlic, and the onions.
6 Kasi sik’oyo, banzoto na biso ebebi penza, tozali lisusu te kolia biloko wana nyonso! Tokomi kaka komona mana oyo! »
But now our soul is dried up; our eyes [turn] to nothing but to the manna.
7 Mana ezalaki lokola mbuma ya koriande mpe ezalaki komonana pembe lokola mayi ya nzete oyo babengaka bedeliumi.
And the manna is as coriander seed, and the appearance of it the appearance of hoarfrost.
8 Bato bazalaki kopanzana bipai na bipai mpo na kolokota yango, mpe na sima, bazalaki konika yango na libanga to mpe kotuta yango na liboka, bongo nde bakokaki kolamba yango na banzungu to kosalela yango mikate. Mikate na yango ezalaki na elengi lokola bagato oyo basala na mafuta ya sika.
And the people went through the field, and gathered, and ground it in the mill, or pounded it in a mortar, and baked it in a pan, and made cakes of it; and the sweetness of it was as the taste [of] wafer made with oil.
9 Na butu, tango mamwe ezalaki kokita, mana mpe ezalaki kokweya nzela moko na yango.
And when the dew came upon the camp by night, the manna came down upon it.
10 Moyize ayokaki ndenge libota moko na moko ezalaki kolelalela na ekotelo ya ndako na bango ya kapo. Yawe asilikaki makasi; mpe Moyize ayokaki pasi mingi na motema.
And Moses heard them weeping by their families, every one in his door: and the Lord was very angry; and the thing was evil in the sight of Moses.
11 Moyize alobaki na Yawe: — Mpo na nini komonisa mosali na Yo pasi ya boye? Mabe nini ngai nasali penza mpo ete osundolela ngai mokumba ya bato oyo?
And Moses said to the Lord, Why have you afflicted your servant, and why have I not found grace in your sight, that you should lay the weight of this people upon me?
12 Boni, ngai moto namemaki mokumba ya bato oyo nyonso to nabotaki bango? Mpo na nini oloba na ngai ete namema bango na maboko lokola bana mike, na mokili oyo olakaki na ndayi epai ya bakoko na bango?
Have I conceived all this people, or have I born them? that you say to me, Take them into your bosom, as a nurse would take her suckling, into the land which you sware to their fathers?
13 Ngai nakozwa misuni ya kolia wapi mpo na bato oyo nyonso oyo bazali kokoba kolelalela epai na ngai: « Pesa biso misuni ya kolia! »
Whence have I flesh to give to all this people? for they weep to me, saying, Give us flesh, that we may eat.
14 Ngai moko nakokoka te komema bato oyo nyonso; mokumba oyo eleki monene mpo na ngai.
I shall not be able to bear this people alone, for this thing is too heavy for me.
15 Soki ezali kaka boye nde ozali kosala ngai, eleki malamu ete oboma ngai kaka sik’oyo. Soki nazwi ngolu na miso na Yo, kotika te ete namona kobebisama na ngai.
And if you do thus to me, kill me utterly, if I have found favor with you, that I may not see my affliction.
16 Yawe alobaki na Moyize: — Kati na bakambi ya Isalaele, sangisela Ngai mibali tuku sambo, ba-oyo oyebi ete bazali bakambi mpe bakalaka kati na bato. Tika ete baya na Ndako ya kapo ya Bokutani mpe batelema wana elongo na yo.
And the Lord said to Moses, Gather me seventy men from the elders of Israel, whom you yourself know that they are the elders of the people, and their scribes; and you shall bring them to the tabernacle of witness, and they shall stand there with you.
17 Nakokita mpe nakosolola na yo kuna. Nakokamata Molimo oyo ezali epai na yo mpe nakotia yango epai na bango. Bongo, bakosunga yo mpo na komema mokumba ya bato oyo mpo ete omema yango lisusu yo moko te.
And I will go down, and speak there with you; and I will take of the spirit that is upon you, and will put it upon them; and they shall bear together with you the burden of the people, and you shall not bear them alone.
18 Loba na bato: « Bomibongisa mpe bomibulisa mpo na lobi, pamba te bokolia misuni. Yawe ayokaki tango bozalaki kolelalela: ‹ Ah, nani penza akoki kopesa biso misuni ya kolia? Biso oyo tozalaki na biso malamu na Ejipito! › Sik’oyo Yawe akopesa bino misuni mpe bokolia yango.
And to the people you shall say, Purify yourselves for the morrow, and you shall eat flesh; for you wept before the Lord, saying, Who shall give us flesh to eat? for it was well with us in Egypt: and the Lord shall allow you to eat flesh, and you shall eat flesh.
19 Bokolia yango te kaka mokolo moko to mikolo mibale to mitano to zomi to mpe tuku mibale.
You shall not eat one day, nor two, nor five days, nor ten days, nor twenty days;
20 Kasi bokolia yango sanza mobimba kino ekobima bino na zolo mpe bokoyoka yango nkele, pamba te bobwakaki Yawe oyo azali kati na bino, bolelaki-lelaki liboso na Ye mpe bolobaki: ‹ Mpo na nini tobimaki na Ejipito? › »
you shall eat for a full month, until [the flesh] come out at your nostrils; and it shall be nausea to you, because you disobeyed the Lord, who is among you, and wept before him, saying, What had we to do to come out of Egypt?
21 Moyize alobaki lisusu: — Bato nkoto nkama motoba bazali kotambola sima na ngai, mpe Yo ozali koloba: « Nakopesa bango misuni ya kolia mpo na sanza mobimba! »
And Moses said, The people among whom I am are six hundred thousand footmen; and you said, I will give them flesh to eat, and they shall eat a whole month.
22 Ekokoka penza ata soki babomi bibwele nyonso oyo bazali na yango, ezala ngombe to bantaba? Ekokoka penza ata soki balobi mbisi nyonso ya ebale monene?
Shall sheep and oxen be slain for them, and shall it suffice them? or shall all the fish of the sea be gathered together for them, and shall it suffice them?
23 Yawe alobaki na Moyize: — Boni, loboko na Yawe ezali solo mokuse? Okomona sik’oyo soki maloba oyo nalobi ekokokisama to ekokokisama te mpo na yo.
And the Lord said to Moses, Shall not the hand of the Lord be fully sufficient? now shall you know whether my word shall come to pass to you or not.
24 Boye, Moyize abimaki mpe ayebisaki bato maloba oyo Yawe ayebisaki ye. Asangisaki bakambi tuku sambo mpe atelemisaki bango zingazinga ya Ndako ya kapo.
And Moses went out, and spoke the words of the Lord to the people; and he gathered seventy men of the elders of the people, and he set them round about the tabernacle.
25 Yawe akitaki na nzela ya lipata mpe asololaki na ye; akamataki nguya ya Molimo, oyo ezalaki epai na Ye, mpe atiaki yango epai ya bakambi tuku sambo. Tango kaka Molimo akitelaki bango, bakomaki kosakola, kasi bakobaki te.
And the Lord came down in a cloud, and spoke to him, and took of the spirit that was upon him, and put it upon the seventy men that were elders; and when the spirit rested upon them, they prophesied and ceased.
26 Nzokande, bato mibale oyo bakombo na bango ezalaki Elidadi mpe Medadi batikalaki kati na molako. Bango mpe bazalaki na molongo ya bampaka, kasi bakendeki te na Ndako ya kapo. Molimo akitelaki bango mpe bakomaki kosakola kati na molako.
And there were two men left in the camp, the name of the one was Eldad, and the name of the other Modad; and the spirit rested upon them, and these were of the number of them that were enrolled, but they did not come to the tabernacle; and they prophesied in the camp.
27 Elenge mobali moko apotaki mbangu mpe akendeki koyebisa Moyize: — Elidadi mpe Medadi bazali kosakola kati na molako!
And a young man ran and told Moses, and spoke, saying, Eldad and Modad prophesy in the camp.
28 Jozue, mwana mobali ya Nuni, oyo azalaki mosungi ya Moyize wuta bolenge na ye alobaki: — Moyize, nkolo na ngai, pekisa bango!
And Joshua the son of Naue, who attended on Moses, the chosen one, said, [My] lord Moses, forbid them.
29 Kasi Moyize azongisaki: — Boni, okosalela ngai zuwa na likambo nini? Nakosepela kutu ete bato nyonso bakoma basakoli mpe Yawe akitisa Molimo na Ye epai na bango!
And Moses said to him, Are you jealous on my account? and would that all the Lord's people were prophets; whenever the Lord shall put his spirit upon them.
30 Bongo, Moyize mpe bakambi nyonso ya Isalaele bazongaki na molako.
And Moses departed into the camp, himself and the elders of Israel.
31 Boye, Yawe atindaki mopepe moko oyo ememaki bankanga wuta na ebale monene mpe ebwakaki yango na molako mpe na zingazinga na yango. Etando oyo bankanga ekweyaki ezalaki molayi ya mobembo ya mokolo moko na makolo, mpe ezipaki mabele na bosanda ya metele moko.
And there went forth a wind from the Lord, and brought quails over from the sea; and it brought them down upon the camp a day's journey on this side, and a day's journey on that side, round about the camp, as it were two cubits from the earth.
32 Bato babimaki mpo na kolokota bankanga mokolo mobimba, butu na yango mpe mokolo oyo elandaki. Moto moko te atikalaki kozwa na se ya bakilo nkoto moko; mpe batandaki yango na zingazinga ya molako.
And the people rose up all the day, and all the night, and all the next day, and gathered quails; he that gathered least, gathered ten measures; and they refreshed themselves round about the camp.
33 Kasi, wana misuni ezalaki nanu kati na minoko na bango mpe basilisaki nanu kotafuna yango te, kanda ya Yawe epelaki mpo na bango mpe apesaki bango etumbu ya makasi.
The flesh was yet between their teeth, before it failed, when the Lord was angry with the people, and the Lord struck the people with a very great plague.
34 Yango wana, bakomaki kobenga esika yango « Kibiroti-Atava, » pamba te ezalaki na esika wana nde bakundaki bato ya lokoso.
And the name of that place was called the Graves of Lust; for there they buried the people that lusted.
35 Longwa na Kibiroti-Atava, bana ya Isalaele basalaki mobembo kino na Atseroti mpe bavandaki kuna.
The people departed from the Graves of Lust to Aseroth; and the people halted at Aseroth.
