< Mitango 14 >
1 Bato nyonso ya lisanga batombolaki mingongo na bango mpe bakomaki kolela makasi butu mobimba.
Then all ye Congregation lifted vp their voice, and cryed: and the people wept that night,
2 Bato nyonso ya Isalaele bakomaki koyimayima mpo na Moyize mpe Aron, mpe lisanga mobimba ekomaki koloba: « Ah, elingaki kozala malamu soki tomikufelaki na biso na Ejipito to na esobe!
And all the children of Israel murmured against Moses and Aaron: and the whole assemblie said vnto them, Would God we had died in the land of Egypt, or in this wildernesse: would God we were dead.
3 Boni, Yawe amemi biso na mokili oyo kaka mpo ete tokufa na mopanga? Boye basi mpe bana na biso bakokoma kaka bomengo ya bitumba. Ekozala malamu te mpo na biso ete tozonga na biso na Ejipito? »
Wherefore nowe hath the Lord brought vs into this lande to fall vpon the sworde? our wiues, and our children shall be a pray: were it not better for vs to returne into Egypt?
4 Boye bakomaki kolobana bango na bango: « Tosengeli kopona mokambi mosusu mpe kozonga na Ejipito. »
And they said one to another, Let vs make a Captaine and returne into Egypt.
5 Moyize mpe Aron bakweyaki elongi kino na mabele liboso ya lisanga mobimba ya bana ya Isalaele oyo basanganaki kuna.
Then Moses and Aaron fell on their faces before all the assemblie of the Congregation of the children of Israel.
6 Jozue, mwana mobali ya Nuni, mpe Kalebi, mwana mobali ya Yefune, oyo bazalaki na molongo ya bato oyo bakendeki kononga mokili bapasolaki bilamba na bango
And Ioshua the sonne of Nun, and Caleb the sonne of Iephunneh two of them that searched the lande, rent their clothes,
7 mpe balobaki na lisanga mobimba ya Isalaele: « Mokili oyo totambolaki kati na yango mpe tonongaki ezali malamu mingi penza.
And spake vnto all the assemblie of the childre of Israel, saying, The land which we walked through to search it, is a very good lande.
8 Soki tozwi ngolu na miso ya Yawe, akokamba biso kino na mokili yango, mokili oyo ezali kobimisa miliki mpe mafuta ya nzoyi, mpe akopesa biso yango.
If the Lord loue vs, he will bring vs into this land, and giue it vs, which is a land that floweth with milke and honie.
9 Kasi botombokela Yawe te mpe bobanga te bato oyo bazali na mokili yango, pamba te tokomela bango; kobatelama na bango elongwe kati na bango. Nzokande na ngambo na biso, Yawe azali elongo na biso. Bobanga bango te. »
But rebell not ye against the Lord, neither feare ye the people of the land: for they are but bread for vs: their shielde is departed from the, and the Lord is with vs, feare them not.
10 Wana lisanga mobimba ya Isalaele ezalaki koloba ete baboma bango na mabanga, nkembo ya Yawe emonanaki na Ndako ya kapo ya Bokutani na miso ya bato nyonso ya Isalaele.
And all the multitude saide, Stone them with stones: but the glory of the Lord appeared in the Tabernacle of the Congregation, before all the children of Israel.
11 Yawe alobaki na Moyize: — Kino tango nini bato oyo bakotiola Ngai? Kino tango nini bakoboya penza kondimela Ngai, ezala mpo na bikamwa nyonso oyo nasali kati na bango?
And the Lord said vnto Moses, How long will this people prouoke me, and howe long will it be, yer they beleeue me, for al the signes which I haue shewed among them?
12 Nakokweyisa bango na nzela ya etumbu ya bokono oyo ebomaka mpo na kobebisa bango. Kasi yo, nakokomisa yo ekolo moko monene mpe ya nguya koleka bango.
I will smite them with the pestilence and destroy them, and will make thee a greater nation and mightier then they.
13 Moyize alobaki na Yawe: — Bato ya Ejipito bakoyoka yango! Nzokande ezali na nguya na Yo nde obimisaki bato oyo kati na bango.
But Moses saide vnto the Lord, When the Egyptians shall heare it, (for thou broughtest this people by thy power from among them)
14 Mpe bakoyebisa na bavandi ya mokili oyo makambo yango. Oh Yawe, basila koyoka wuta kala ete ozalaka elongo na bato oyo, ete Yo, oh Yawe, omimonisaki epai na bango miso na miso, ete lipata na Yo etelema likolo na bango, ete otambolaka liboso na bango kati na likonzi ya lipata, na moyi, mpe kati na likonzi ya moto, na butu.
Then they shall say to the inhabitants of this land, (for they haue heard that thou, Lord, art among this people, and that thou, Lord, art seene face to face, and that thy cloude standeth ouer them, and that thou goest before them by day time in a pillar of a cloude, and in a pillar of fire by night)
15 Na bongo, soki obomi bato oyo nyonso na mbala moko, bikolo oyo eyokaki sango oyo mpo na Yo ekoloba:
That thou wilt kill this people as one man: so the heathen which haue heard the fame of thee, shall thus say,
16 « Yawe azangaki penza makoki ya kokotisa bato oyo na mokili oyo alakaki, na nzela ya ndayi, ete akopesa bango yango, yango wana abomaki bango kati na esobe. »
Because the Lord was not able to bring this people into the lande, which he sware vnto them, therefore hath he slaine them in the wildernesse.
17 Sik’oyo, nabondeli Yo, tika ete makasi ya Nkolo emonisama na nguya na yango kolanda ndenge olobaki:
And now, I beseech thee, let the power of my Lord be great, according as thou hast spoken, saying,
18 « Nazali Yawe oyo asilikaka noki te, atonda na bolingo, alimbisaka masumu mpe botomboki; kasi apesaka moto oyo asali mabe etumbu, apesaka bana etumbu mpo na masumu ya batata kino na molongo ya misato mpe ya minei. »
The Lord is slowe to anger, and of great mercie, and forgiuing iniquitie, and sinne, but not making the wicked innocent, and visiting the wickednes of the fathers vpon the children, in the thirde and fourth generation:
19 Nabondeli Yo, kolanda bolingo monene na Yo, limbisa masumu ya bato oyo ndenge kaka olimbisaki bango wuta babimaki na Ejipito kino sik’oyo.
Be mercifull, I beseech thee, vnto the iniquitie of this people, according to thy great mercie, and as thou hast forgiuen this people from Egypt, euen vntill nowe.
20 Yawe azongisaki: — Nalimbisi bango ndenge osengi.
And the Lord said, I haue forgiuen it, according to thy request.
21 Kasi na Kombo na Ngai, mpe lokola mokili mobimba etondi na nkembo ya Yawe,
Notwithstanding, as I liue, all the earth shall be filled with the glory of the Lord.
22 moko te kati na bato oyo bamonaki nkembo na Ngai mpe bikamwa oyo nasalaki kati na Ejipito mpe na esobe kasi baboyaki kotosa Ngai mpe bamekaki Ngai mbala zomi,
For all those men which haue seene my glory, and my miracles which I did in Egypt, and in the wildernes, and haue tempted me this ten times, and haue not obeyed my voyce,
23 moko te kati na bango akomona lisusu mokili oyo nalakaki na nzela na ndayi epai ya bakoko na bango, moko te kati na ba-oyo batiolaki Ngai akomona lisusu mokili yango.
Certainely they shall not see the lande, whereof I sware vnto their fathers: neither shall any that prouoke me, see it.
24 Kasi lokola Kalebi, mosali na Ngai, atambolisamaka na molimo mosusu mpe atamboli na bosembo na miso na Ngai, nakokotisa ye na mokili oyo asilaki kokende, mpe bakitani na ye bakokamata yango lokola libula.
But my seruant Caleb, because he had another spirite, and hath followed me stil, euen him will I bring into the lande, whither he went, and his seede shall inherite it.
25 Lokola bato ya Amaleki mpe ya Kanana bazali nanu kovanda na lubwaku, bino bokobaluka mpe bokozonga lobi na tongo na esobe, na nzela oyo ekenda na ebale monene ya Barozo.
Nowe the Amalekites and the Canaanites remaine in the valley: wherefore turne backe to morowe, and get you into the wildernesse, by the way of the red Sea.
26 Yawe alobaki na Moyize mpe Aron:
After, the Lord spake vnto Moses and to Aaron, saying,
27 — Kino penza tango nini lisanga oyo ya batomboki ekokoba kotelemela Ngai? Solo, nayoki bileli mpe koyimayima ya bana ya Isalaele na tina na Ngai.
How long shall I suffer this wicked multitude to murmure against me? I haue heard the murmurings of the children of Israel, which they murmure against me.
28 Yebisa bango: « Nalapi ndayi, » elobi Yawe, « nakosalela bino makambo nyonso oyo nayoki bino koloba.
Tell them, As I liue (saith the Lord) I wil surely do vnto you, euen as ye haue spoken in mine eares.
29 Bibembe na bino ekolala na esobe oyo. Bino nyonso oyo bozali na mibu tuku mibale mpe koleka, bino oyo botangamaki na motango mpe boyimaki-yimaki mpo na Ngai,
Your carkeises shall fall in this wildernes, and all you that were counted through all your nombers, from twentie yeere olde and aboue, which haue murmured against me,
30 bokokota te na mokili oyo nalakaki na nzela ya ndayi, na kotombola loboko, ete nakokomisa yango mokili na bino, longola kaka Kalebi, mwana mobali ya Yefune, mpe Jozue, mwana mobali ya Nuni.
Ye shall not doubtles come into the land, for the which I lifted vp mine hande, to make you dwell therein, saue Caleb the sonne of Iephunneh, and Ioshua the sonne of Nun.
31 Kasi nakomema bana na bino oyo na tina na bango bolobaki ete bakozwa bango lokola bomengo ya bitumba, mpe nakokotisa bango na esengo kati na mokili yango oyo botiolaki.
But your children, (which ye said shoulde be a pray) them will I bring in, and they shall knowe the lande which ye haue refused:
32 Nzokande bino, bibembe na bino ekolala na esobe oyo.
But euen your carkeises shall fall in this wildernes,
33 Bana na bino bakokoma babateli bibwele awa na esobe mibu tuku minei. Lokola botamboli na bosembo te na miso na Ngai, bakomona pasi kino ebembe na bino ya suka elala na esobe.
And your children shall wander in the wildernesse, fourtie yeeres, and shall beare your whoredomes, vntill your carkeises be wasted in the wildernesse.
34 Lokola bosalaki mikolo tuku minei mpo na kononga mokili, bokomona pasi mibu tuku minei mpo na masumu na bino: mobu moko mpo na mokolo moko. Na bongo bokoyeba mbano oyo ezali kati na likambo ya kotelemela Ngai.
After the number of the dayes, in the which ye searched out the lande, euen fourtie dayes, euery day for a yeere, shall ye beare your iniquity, for fourtie yeeres, and ye shall feele my breach of promise.
35 Ngai Yawe nde nalobi; mpe nakosala solo makambo oyo epai ya lisanga oyo mobimba ya batomboki oyo basanganaki mpo na kotelemela Ngai. Bakomona suka na bango kati na esobe oyo; ezali awa nde bakokufa. »
I the Lord haue said, Certainely I will doe so to all this wicked company, that are gathered together against me: for in this wildernesse they shall be consumed, and there they shall die.
36 Bato oyo Moyize atindaki mpo na kononga mokili mpe, na bozongi na bango, batindikaki lisanga mobimba na koyimayima na tina na ye wana bapanzaki sango mabe na tina na mokili;
And the men which Moses had sent to search the land (which, when they came againe, made all the people to murmure against him, and brought vp a slander vpon the lande)
37 bato oyo babimisaki maloba mabe na tina na mokili yango, bazwaki etumbu mpe bakufaki liboso ya Yawe.
Euen those men that did bring vp that vile slander vpon the land, shall die by a plague before the Lord.
38 Kati na bato oyo bakendeki kononga mokili, kaka Jozue, mwana mobali ya Nuni, mpe Kalebi, mwana mobali ya Yefune, nde babikaki.
But Ioshua the sonne of Nun, and Caleb the sonne of Iephunneh, of those men that went to search the land, shall liue.
39 Tango Moyize ayebisaki makambo oyo epai ya bato nyonso ya Isalaele, balelaki makasi.
Then Moses tolde these sayings vnto all the children of Israel, and the people sorowed greatly.
40 Na tongo-tongo ya mokolo oyo elandaki, bamataki na songe ya ngomba kati na etuka ya bangomba mpe balobaki: — Solo, tosalaki masumu; kasi sik’oyo, tozali kokende kuna, na esika oyo Yawe alakaki biso.
And they rose vp earely in the morning, and gate them vp into the toppe of the mountaine, saying, Loe, we be readie, to goe vp to the place which the Lord hath promised: for wee haue sinned.
41 Kasi Moyize alobaki: — Mpo na nini bozali koboya kotosa mitindo ya Yawe? Likambo oyo ekolonga te!
But Moses said, Wherefore transgresse yee thus the commandement of the Lord? it will not so come well to passe.
42 Bokende te, pamba te Yawe azali elongo na bino te; banguna na bino bakolonga bino.
Goe not vp (for the Lord is not among you) lest ye be ouerthrowe before your enemies.
43 Bato ya Amaleki mpe ya Kanana bakokutana na bino kuna. Bongo lokola bopesaki Yawe mokongo, bokokweya na mopanga mpo ete akozala elongo na bino te.
For the Amalekites and the Canaanites are there before you, and ye shall fall by the sworde: for in as much as ye are turned away from the Lord, the Lord also will not be with you.
44 Na lolendo na bango, bakendeki kaka na songe ya ngomba kati na etuka ya bangomba; kasi Moyize alongwaki te na molako, ndenge moko mpe mpo na Sanduku ya Boyokani ya Yawe.
Yet they presumed obstinately to goe vp to the top of the mountaine: but the Arke of the couenant of the Lord, and Moses departed not out of the campe.
45 Boye, bato ya Amaleki mpe ya Kanana oyo bazalaki kovanda na bangomba yango bakitelaki bango, babundisaki bango, balongaki bango mpe balandaki bango kino na Orima.
Then the Amalekites and the Canaanites, which dwelt in that mountaine, came downe and smote them, and consumed them vnto Hormah.
