Mitango 14
1 Bato nyonso ya lisanga batombolaki mingongo na bango mpe bakomaki kolela makasi butu mobimba.
All the congregation lifted up their voice, and cried; 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!
All the children of Israel [God prevails] murmured against Moses [Drawn out] and against Aaron [Light-bringer]. The whole congregation said to them, “We wish that we had died in the land of Egypt [Abode of slavery], or that we had died in this wilderness!
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? »
Why does Adonai bring us to this land, to fall by the sword? Our wives and our little ones will be captured or killed! Wouldn’t it be better for us to teshuvah ·completely return· into Egypt [Abode of slavery]?”
4 Boye bakomaki kolobana bango na bango: « Tosengeli kopona mokambi mosusu mpe kozonga na Ejipito. »
They said to one another, “Let us make a captain, and let us teshuvah ·completely return· into Egypt [Abode of slavery].”
5 Moyize mpe Aron bakweyaki elongi kino na mabele liboso ya lisanga mobimba ya bana ya Isalaele oyo basanganaki kuna.
Then Moses [Drawn out] and Aaron [Light-bringer] fell on their faces before all the assembly of the congregation of the children of Israel [God prevails].
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
Joshua [Yah Salvation] the son of Nun and Caleb [Dog] the son of Jephunneh, who were of those who spied out the land, tore their clothes.
7 mpe balobaki na lisanga mobimba ya Isalaele: « Mokili oyo totambolaki kati na yango mpe tonongaki ezali malamu mingi penza.
They spoke to all the congregation of the children of Israel [God prevails], saying, “The land, which we passed through to spy it out, is an exceeding good land.
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 Adonai delights in us, then he will bring us into this land, and give it to us; a land which flows with milk and honey.
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. »
Only don’t rebel against Adonai, neither fear the people of the land; for they are bread for us. Their defense is removed from over them, and Adonai is with us. Don’t fear them.”
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.
But all the congregation threatened to stone them with stones. The kavod Yahweh ·weighty glory of He sustains breathing· appeared in the Tent of Meeting to all the children of Israel [God prevails].
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?
Adonai said to Moses [Drawn out], “How long will this people despise me? and how long will they not trust in me, for all the signs which I have worked 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 strike them with the pestilence, and disinherit them, and will make of you a nation greater and mightier than they.”
13 Moyize alobaki na Yawe: — Bato ya Ejipito bakoyoka yango! Nzokande ezali na nguya na Yo nde obimisaki bato oyo kati na bango.
Moses [Drawn out] said to Adonai, “Then the Egyptians [people from Abode of slavery] will sh'ma ·hear obey· it; for you brought up this people in your might 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.
They will tell it to the inhabitants of this land. They have sh'ma ·heard obeyed· that you Adonai are in the middle of this people; for you Adonai are seen face to face, and your cloud stands over them, and you go before them, in a pillar of cloud by day, 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:
Now if you killed this people as one man, then the nations which have sh'ma ·heard obeyed· the fame of you will speak, saying,
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 Adonai was not able to bring this people into the land which he swore to them, therefore he has slain them in the wilderness.’
17 Sik’oyo, nabondeli Yo, tika ete makasi ya Nkolo emonisama na nguya na yango kolanda ndenge olobaki:
Now please let the power of 'Adonay [Lord] be great, according as you have 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. »
‘Adonai is slow to anger, and abundant in chesed ·loving-kindness·, forgiving depravity (moral evil) and rebellious breach of relationship; and that will by no means clear the guilty, visiting the depravity (moral evil) of the fathers on the children, on the third and on the 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.
Please pardon the depravity (moral evil) of this people according to the greatness of your chesed ·loving-kindness·, and according as you have forgiven this people, from Egypt [Abode of slavery] even until now.”
20 Yawe azongisaki: — Nalimbisi bango ndenge osengi.
Adonai said, “I have pardoned according to your word:
21 Kasi na Kombo na Ngai, mpe lokola mokili mobimba etondi na nkembo ya Yawe,
but in very deed, as I live, and as all the earth shall be filled with the kavod Yahweh ·weighty glory of He sustains breathing·;
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,
because all those men who have seen my glory, and my signs, which I worked in Egypt [Abode of slavery] and in the wilderness, yet have tempted me these ten times, and have not sh'ma ·heard obeyed· my voice;
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.
surely they shall not see the land which I swore to their fathers, neither shall any of those who despised 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 servant Caleb [Dog], because he had another spirit with him, and has followed me fully, him I will bring into the land into which he went. His offspring shall possess 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.
Since the Amalekite [Descendant of Man who licks up] and the Canaanite [Descendant of Humbled] dwell in the valley, tomorrow turn, and go into the wilderness by the way to the Sea of Suf [Reed Sea].”
26 Yawe alobaki na Moyize mpe Aron:
Adonai spoke to Moses [Drawn out] and to Aaron [Light-bringer], 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 bear with this evil congregation, that murmur against me? I have sh'ma ·heard obeyed· the murmurings of the children of Israel [God prevails], which they murmur against me.
28 Yebisa bango: « Nalapi ndayi, » elobi Yawe, « nakosalela bino makambo nyonso oyo nayoki bino koloba.
Tell them, ‘As I live, says Adonai, surely as you have spoken in my ears, so will I do to you.
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 dead bodies shall fall in this wilderness; and all who were counted of you, according to your whole number, from twenty years old and upward, who have 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.
surely you shall not come into the land, concerning which I swore that I would make you dwell therein, except Caleb [Dog] the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua [Yah Salvation] the son 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 little ones, that you said should be captured or killed, them I will bring in, and they shall know the land which you have rejected.
32 Nzokande bino, bibembe na bino ekolala na esobe oyo.
But as for you, your dead bodies shall fall in this wilderness.
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.
Your children shall be wanderers in the wilderness forty years, and shall bear your prostitution, until your dead bodies are consumed in the wilderness.
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 days in which you spied out the land, even forty days, for every day a year, you will bear your depravities (moral evils), even forty years, and you will know my alienation.’
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, Adonai, have spoken. I will surely do this to all this evil congregation, who are gathered together against me. In this wilderness 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;
The men, whom Moses [Drawn out] sent to spy out the land, who teshuvah ·completely returned·, and made all the congregation to murmur against him, by bringing up an evil report against the land,
37 bato oyo babimisaki maloba mabe na tina na mokili yango, bazwaki etumbu mpe bakufaki liboso ya Yawe.
even those men who brought up an evil report of the land, died by the plague before Adonai.
38 Kati na bato oyo bakendeki kononga mokili, kaka Jozue, mwana mobali ya Nuni, mpe Kalebi, mwana mobali ya Yefune, nde babikaki.
But Joshua [Yah Salvation] the son of Nun, and Caleb [Dog] the son of Jephunneh, remained alive of those men who went to spy out the land.
39 Tango Moyize ayebisaki makambo oyo epai ya bato nyonso ya Isalaele, balelaki makasi.
Moses [Drawn out] told these words to all the children of Israel [God prevails], and the people mourned 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.
They rose up early in the morning, and went up to the top of the mountain, saying, “Behold, we are here, and will go up to the place which Adonai has promised: for we have sinned ·deviated (from the standard goal)·.”
41 Kasi Moyize alobaki: — Mpo na nini bozali koboya kotosa mitindo ya Yawe? Likambo oyo ekolonga te!
Moses [Drawn out] said, “Why are you disobeying the order of Adonai? You shall not succeed!
42 Bokende te, pamba te Yawe azali elongo na bino te; banguna na bino bakolonga bino.
Don’t go up, for Adonai is not among you; that you not be struck down 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 there the Amalekite [Descendant of Man who licks up] and the Canaanite [Descendant of Humbled] are before you, and you shall fall by the sword, because you turned back from following Adonai, therefore Adonai 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.
But they presumed to go up to the top of the mountain. Nevertheless, the ark of Adonai’s covenant and Moses [Drawn out] didn’t depart out of the camp.
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 [Descendants of Man who licks up] came down, and the Canaanites [Descendants of Humbled] who lived in that mountain, and struck them and beat them down, even to Hormah.
