Mitango 16
1 Molevi Kore, mwana mobali ya Yitseari, ya libota ya bato ya Keati, elongo na bato misato ya libota ya bato ya Ribeni basalelaki Moyize likita; ezalaki: Datani mpe Abirami, bana mibali ya Eliabi, elongo na Oni, mwana mobali ya Peleti.
Now Korach, the son of Yizhar, the son of Kehath, the son of Levi, was presumptuous, together with Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, and On, the son of Peleth, sons of Reuben:
2 Batombokelaki Moyize. Elongo na bango, ezalaki na bana ya Isalaele nkama mibale na tuku mitano oyo bayebanaki malamu lokola bakambi ya lisanga mpe bazalaki kosangana kati na mayangani ya bakambi ya lisanga.
So that they rose up before Moses, with certain men of the children of Israel, in number two hundred and fifty; [who were] princes of the congregation, called to the assembly, men of renown.
3 Bayaki lisanga mpo na kotelemela Moyize mpe Aron. Balobaki na bango: — Bino mpe bolekisi! Lingomba mobimba ezali bule mpe moto nyonso kati na yango azali bule, mpe Yawe azali elongo na bango. Boye, mpo na nini bozali komitia likolo ya lisanga ya Yawe?
And they assembled themselves against Moses, and against Aaron, and said unto them, Ye assume too much; for the whole of the congregation are all of them holy, and the Lord is among them; wherefore then will you lift yourselves up above the congregation of the Lord?
4 Tango Moyize ayokaki bongo, akweyaki elongi kino na mabele.
And when Moses heard it, he fell upon his face:
5 Alobaki na Kore mpe na bato na ye nyonso oyo balandaki ye: — Lobi na tongo, Yawe akolakisa nani azali moto na Ye mpe nani oyo azali bule, mpe akotika ye kopusana pene na Ye; akotika solo moponami na Ye kopusana pene na Ye.
And he spoke unto Korach and unto all his company, saying, Tomorrow, —then will the Lord make known who is his, and who is holy, that he may cause them to come near unto him; and him whom he shall choose will he cause to come near unto him.
6 Yo, Kore, elongo na bato nyonso oyo bazali kolanda yo, bokosala likambo oyo: Bokamata bambabola oyo batumbelaka malasi
This do ye: Take yourselves censers, Korach and all his company;
7 mpe, lobi, botia moto mpe malasi ya ansa kati na yango liboso ya Yawe. Moto oyo Yawe akopona, ye nde azali bule. Bino Balevi, bino mpe bolekisi!
And put therein fire, and put upon them incense before the Lord, tomorrow; and it shall be that the man whom the Lord will choose, he shall be the holy one; you assume too much, ye sons of Levi.
8 Moyize alobaki lisusu na Kore: — Bino Balevi, boyoka sik’oyo!
And Moses said unto Korach, Hear, I pray you, ye sons of Levi:
9 Ekoki na bino te ete Nzambe ya Isalaele atia bino pembeni kati na lisanga ya Isalaele mpe abenda bino pembeni na Ye mpo na kosala mosala na Mongombo ya Yawe mpe kotelema liboso ya lisanga mpo na kosalela bango?
It is too little for you, that the God of Israel hath separated you from the congregation of Israel, to bring you near unto himself, to do the service of the tabernacle of the Lord, and to stand before the congregation to minister for them?
10 Abendaki bino pembeni na Ye elongo na Balevi nyonso oyo bazali kolanda bino; kasi sik’oyo, bazali lisusu koluka kozwa bonganga-Nzambe!
And he hath brought thee near, and all thy brethren the sons of Levi with thee: and now will ye seek the priesthood also?
11 Ezali Yawe nde bosalelaki likita, yo elongo na bato oyo bazali kolanda yo. Aron nde nani mpo ete bokoka koyimayima na tina na ye?
For which cause [beware], thou and all thy company that are gathered together against the Lord; for Aaron, what is he, that ye should murmur against him:
12 Mpe na sima, Moyize abengisaki Datani mpe Abirami, bana mibali ya Eliabi. Kasi bazongisaki: — Tokoya te!
And Moses sent to call Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab; but they said, We will not come up:
13 Ekoki kaka te mpo na yo kobimisa biso na mokili oyo ezali kobimisa miliki mpe mafuta ya nzoyi, mpo na koya kobomisa biso kati na esobe? Sik’oyo olingi lisusu kokoma mokonzi na biso?
Is it too little that thou hast brought us up out of a land flowing with milk and honey, to kill us in the wilderness, that thou wilt assume to make thyself also a prince over us?
14 Te, okotisi biso kutu te na mokili oyo ezali kobimisa miliki mpe mafuta ya nzoyi to opesi biso ata libula moko te ya bilanga to ya bilanga ya vino. Boni, okanisi ete bato oyo bakufa miso? Te, tokoya te!
Moreover thou hast not brought us into a land flowing with milk and honey, and thou hast not given us inheritance of fields and vineyards: wilt thou bore out the eyes of these men? we will not come up.
15 Moyize asilikaki makasi mpe alobaki na Yawe: — Kondima makabo na bango te. Nazwaki ata eloko moko te epai na bango, ezala ane; mpe nasalaki ata moto moko te mabe kati na bango.
And this displeased Moses greatly, and he said unto the Lord, Have no respect unto their offering: I have not taken away an ass of any one of them, nor have I done wrong to any one of them.
16 Moyize alobaki na Kore: — Lobi, yo mpe bato nyonso oyo bazali kolanda yo, bokotelema elongo na Aron liboso ya Yawe.
And Moses said unto Korach, Thou and all thy company, be ye before the Lord, thou, and they, and Aaron, tomorrow:
17 Moko na moko akokamata mbabola na ye, oyo batumbelaka malasi, bongo akotia malasi ya ansa kati na yango mpe akomema yango liboso ya Yawe. Bambabola nyonso ekozala nkama mibale na tuku mitano; yo mpe elongo na Aron bokomema bambabola na bino.
And take ye every man his censer, and put incense upon them, and bring ye near before the Lord every man his censer, two hundred and fifty censers; thou also, and Aaron, each his censer.
18 Moto na moto akamataki mbabola na ye, atiaki moto mpe malasi ya ansa kati na yango; bongo atelemaki esika moko na Moyize mpe Aron, na ekotelo ya Ndako ya kapo ya Bokutani.
And they took every man his censer, and put fire on them, and laid incense thereupon; and they stood at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation with Moses and Aaron.—
19 Tango Kore asangisaki bato nyonso oyo bazalaki kolanda ye mpo na kotelemela Moyize mpe Aron, na ekotelo ya Ndako ya kapo ya Bokutani, nkembo ya Yawe ebimelaki lisanga mobimba,
And Korach assembled against them all the congregation unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation; and the glory of the Lord then appeared unto all the congregation.
20 mpe Yawe alobaki na Moyize mpe Aron:
And the Lord spoke unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,
21 — Bokabwana na lisanga ya bato oyo mpo ete nalingi kosilisa bango kaka na mbala moko.
Separate yourselves from the midst of this congregation, and I will make an end of them in a moment.
22 Kasi Moyize mpe Aron bakweyaki bilongi kino na mabele mpe bagangaki: — Eh Nzambe ya milimo nyonso ya bato! Okosilikela lisanga mobimba likolo ya lisumu ya moto moko kaka?
And they fell upon their faces, and said, O God, the God of the spirits of all flesh, this one man doth sin, and with all the congregation wouldst thou be wroth!
23 Bongo, Yawe alobaki na Moyize:
And the Lord spoke unto Moses, saying,
24 — Loba na lisanga ete bakende mosika ya bandako ya kapo ya Kore, ya Datani mpe ya Abirami.
Speak unto the congregation, saying, Get you away from about the dwelling of Korach, Dathan, and Abiram.
25 Moyize atelemaki mpe akendeki epai ya Datani mpe Abirami; mpe bakambi nyonso ya Isalaele balandaki ye.
And Moses rose up and went unto Dathan and Abiram; and there went after him the elders of Israel.
26 Akebisaki lisanga mobimba: « Bozala mosika ya bandako ya kapo ya bato oyo ya mabe. Bosimba ata eloko moko te ya bango, noki te bokokufa likolo ya masumu na bango! »
And he spoke unto the congregation, saying, Depart, I pray you, from the tents of these wicked men, and touch nothing which belongeth to them, lest ye be destroyed through all their sins.
27 Boye bakendeki mosika ya bandako ya kapo ya Kore, ya Datani mpe ya Abirami. Datani mpe Abirami elongo na basi, bana mpe bakoko na bango babimaki libanda mpe bakendeki kotelema liboso ya bikotelo ya bandako na bango ya kapo.
So they got away from the dwelling of Korach, Dathan, and Abiram, on every side: and Dathan and Abiram came out, standing [boldly] at the door of their tents, with their wives, and their sons, and their little ones.
28 Bongo Moyize alobaki: « Tala ndenge nini bokoyeba solo ete Yawe atindaki ngai kosala makambo oyo nyonso, kasi ezali makanisi ya motema na ngai moko te:
And Moses said, Through this shall ye know that the Lord hath sent me to do all these deeds; that [I have] not done them out of my own heart.
29 Soki bato oyo bakufi kufa ya bato nyonso mpe bamoni makambo oyo bato nyonso bamonaka, wana nde Yawe atindaki ngai te!
If these men die as all men die, and if the visitation of all men be visited on them: then hath the Lord not sent me.
30 Kasi soki Yawe asali penza likambo moko ya sika, bongo mabele efungoli monoko na yango mpe emeli bango elongo na biloko na bango nyonso, mpe bakiti ya bomoi kati na mokili ya bakufi, wana nde bokoyeba solo ete bato oyo batiolaki Yawe. » (Sheol h7585)
But if the Lord do create a new thing, and the earth open her mouth, and swallow them up, with all that appertaineth unto them, and they go down alive into the pit: then shall ye understand that these men have provoked the Lord. (Sheol h7585)
31 Tango kaka asilisaki koloba makambo oyo nyonso, mabele efungwamaki na se ya matambe ya Datani mpe Abirami;
And it came to pass, when he had made an end of speaking all these words, that the ground that was under them was cloven asunder:
32 efungolaki monoko na yango mpe emelaki bango elongo na mabota na bango, bato ya Kore nyonso elongo na bozwi na bango nyonso.
And the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed them up, and their houses, and all the men that appertained unto Korach, and all their goods.
33 Bakitaki ya bomoi kati na mokili ya bakufi elongo na biloko na bango nyonso, mabele ezipaki bango mpe bakufaki ndenge wana. Mpe balimwaki kati na lisanga. (Sheol h7585)
And they went down, they, and all they that appertained to them, alive into the pit; and the earth closed over them, and they disappeared from the midst of the congregation. (Sheol h7585)
34 Bato nyonso ya Isalaele oyo bazalaki pembeni na bango bakimaki tango bayokaki bango koganga. Bazalaki komilobela: « Mabele ekomela biso mpe lokola! »
And all Israel that were round about them fled at their cry; for they said, Perhaps the earth may swallow us up [also].
35 Moto ewutaki epai na Yawe mpe etumbaki bato nkama mibale na tuku mitano oyo bazalaki kobonza malasi ya ansa.
And there came out a fire from the Lord, and consumed the two hundred and fifty men that had offered the incense.
36 Yawe alobaki na Moyize:
And the Lord spoke unto Moses, saying,
37 « Loba na Eleazari, mwana mobali ya Nganga-Nzambe Aron, ete balongola bambabola oyo batumbelaka malasi na kati-kati ya moto, mpe bapanza makala ya moto mosika, pamba te bambabola wana ezali bule.
Speak unto Elazar the son of Aaron the priest, that he lift up the censers out of the burning, and throw out the fire far away; for they have been hallowed:
38 Tika ete bakamata bambabola yango, atako ezali ya bato oyo bakufaki likolo ya masumu na bango; mpe tika ete batuta yango na marto mpo ete ekoma papala mpe batia yango likolo ya etumbelo, pamba te bamemaki yango liboso ya Yawe mpe ekomaki bule. Tika ete yango ekoma elembo mpo na bana ya Isalaele. »
The censers of these sinners against their own lives; and they shall make of them broad plates for a covering for the altar; for they brought them near before the Lord, and they have thus become hallowed; and they shall serve for a sign unto the children of Israel.
39 Boye, Nganga-Nzambe Eleazari alokotaki bambabola nyonso ya bronze oyo bato oyo bazikaki na moto bamemaki, mpe atutaki yango na marto mpo na kotia yango likolo ya etumbelo;
And Elazar the priest took the copper censers, which they that were burnt had brought near; and they beat them out for a covering unto the altar:
40 ndenge Yawe atindaki ye, na nzela ya Moyize. Yango ekozala lokola ekaniseli mpo na bana ya Isalaele ete moto moko te, moto oyo abulisama te, moto oyo azali mopaya liboso ya bakitani ya Aron, akoki koya kotumba malasi ya ansa liboso ya Yawe, noki te akokoma lokola Kore mpe bato oyo balandaki ye.
As a memorial unto the children of Israel, in order that no stranger, who is not of the seed of Aaron, should come near to burn incense before the Lord; that he become not as Korach, and as his company; as the Lord had spoken to him by the hand of Moses.
41 Mokolo oyo elandaki, lisanga mobimba ya bana ya Isalaele ekomaki koyimayima mpo na Moyize mpe Aron. Bazalaki koloba: « Bino bobomi bato na Yawe. »
And all the congregation of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and Aaron, on the morrow, saying, It is you who have caused the people of the Lord to die.
42 Kasi tango lisanga mobimba esanganaki mpo na kotelemela Moyize mpe Aron, babalukaki na ngambo ya Ndako ya kapo ya Bokutani, mpe mbala moko lipata ezipaki yango mpe nkembo na Yawe emonisamaki.
And it came to pass, when the congregation assembled against Moses and against Aaron, that they looked toward the tabernacle of the congregation, and, behold, the cloud covered it; and the glory of the Lord appeared.
43 Boye, Moyize mpe Aron bakendeki liboso ya Ndako ya kapo ya Bokutani
And Moses came with Aaron before the tabernacle of the congregation.
44 mpe Yawe alobaki na Moyize:
And the Lord spoke unto Moses, saying,
45 « Bokende mosika ya lisanga oyo mpo ete nasilisa bango kaka na mbala moko. » Mpe bakweyaki bilongi kino na mabele.
Remove yourselves from the midst of this congregation, that I may consume them in a moment. And they fell upon their faces.
46 Moyize alobaki na Aron: « Kamata mbabola na yo mpe tia malasi ya ansa kati na yango elongo na moto ya etumbelo. Bongo, kima mbangu kati na lisanga mpo na kosala mosala ya bolimbisi masumu mpo na bango, pamba te kanda makasi ebimi liboso ya Yawe, etumbu ezali koya. »
And Moses said unto Aaron, Take the censer, and put therein fire from off the altar, and put on incense, and carry [it] quickly unto the congregation, and make an atonement for them; for the wrath is gone forth from the Lord; the plague hath begun.
47 Aron asalaki ndenge kaka Moyize alobaki, mpe akimaki mbangu na kati-kati ya lisanga. Nzokande, etumbu emibandelaki kosala mosala na yango na kati-kati ya bato, kasi Aron abonzaki malasi ya ansa mpe asalaki mosala ya bolimbisi masumu mpo na bango.
And Aaron took as Moses had commanded, and he ran into the midst of the assembly; and, behold, the plague had begun among the people: and he put on the incense, and made an atonement for the people.
48 Atelemaki na kati-kati ya bato oyo bazalaki na bomoi mpe oyo bazalaki ya kokufa mpe etumbu esilaki.
And he stood between the dead and the living; and the plague was stayed.
49 Nzokande, bato nkoto zomi na minei na nkama sambo bakufaki na etumbu wana, bakisa oyo bakufaki likolo ya Kore.
And those who died in the plague were fourteen thousand and seven hundred, besides those that had died about the matter of Korach.
50 Bongo, Aron azongaki epai ya Moyize na ekotelo ya Ndako ya kapo ya Bokutani, pamba te etumbu esilaki.
And Aaron returned unto Moses, to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, after the plague had been stayed.
