Mitango 20
1 Na sanza ya liboso, lisanga mobimba ya Isalaele ekomaki na esobe ya Tsini mpe bavandaki na Kadeshi. Ezalaki kuna nde Miriami akufaki mpe bakundaki ye.
In the first month all the children of Israel came into the waste land of Zin, and put up their tents in Kadesh; there death came to Miriam, and they put her body to rest in the earth.
2 Nzokande esika yango ezalaki na mayi ya komela te mpo na lisanga ya Isalaele, mpe bato basanganaki mpo na kotombokela Moyize mpe Aron.
And there was no water for the people: and they came together against Moses and against Aaron.
3 Baswanisaki Moyize mpe balobaki: « Elingaki kozala malamu soki tokufaki na biso tango bandeko na biso bakufaki liboso ya Yawe!
And the people were angry with Moses and said, If only death had overtaken us when our brothers came to their death before the Lord!
4 Mpo na nini omemaki lisanga ya Yawe na esobe oyo? Ezali mpo ete biso mpe bibwele na biso tokufa awa?
Why have you taken the Lord's people into this waste, for death to come to us and to our cattle there?
5 Mpo na nini obimisaki biso na Ejipito mpe omemi biso na esika oyo ya pasi, esika oyo bakoki kutu kolona ata eloko moko te, esika oyo ezanga ata mbuma ya figi to ya vino to mpe ya grenade, esika oyo ezanga kutu ata mayi ya komela? »
Why have you made us come out of Egypt into this evil place? This is no place of seed or figs or vines or other fruits, and there is no water for drinking.
6 Moyize mpe Aron babimaki kati ya lingomba mpe bakendeki na ekuke ya Ndako ya kapo ya Bokutani, bakweyaki elongi kino na mabele, mpe nkembo ya Yawe ebimelaki bango.
Then Moses and Aaron went away from the people to the door of the Tent of meeting; and, falling on their faces there, they saw the glory of the Lord.
7 Yawe alobaki na Moyize:
And the Lord said to Moses,
8 « Zwa lingenda na yo; bongo elongo na Aron, ndeko na yo ya mobali, bosangisa lisanga mobimba esika moko. Boloba na libanga wana na miso na bango, mpe ekobimisa mayi wuta na yango. Okobimisa mayi na libanga mpo ete bato ya lisanga mobimba bakoka komela elongo na bibwele na bango. »
Take the rod, you and Aaron, your brother, and make all the people come together, and before their eyes give orders to the rock to give out its water; and so make water come out of the rock for them, and give the people and their cattle drink.
9 Moyize azwaki lingenda oyo ezalaki liboso ya Yawe, ndenge kaka Yawe atindaki ye.
And Moses took the rod from before the Lord as he gave him orders.
10 Ye mpe Aron basangisaki lisanga ya bato esika moko liboso ya libanga, mpe Moyize alobaki na bango: « Boyoka, bino batomboki, tokoki kobimisela bino mayi na libanga oyo? »
Then Moses and Aaron made the people come together in front of the rock, and he said to them, Give ear now, you people whose hearts are turned from the Lord; are we to get water for you out of the rock?
11 Moyize atombolaki loboko na ye mpe abetaki lingenda na ye na libanga mbala mibale. Mayi ebimaki; bongo lisanga mobimba elongo na bibwele na bango bamelaki.
And lifting up his hand, Moses gave the rock two blows with his rod: and water came streaming out, and the people and their cattle had drink enough.
12 Kasi Yawe alobaki na Moyize mpe Aron: « Lokola bondimeli Ngai te mpe bopesi lokumu na bosantu na Ngai te na miso ya bana ya Isalaele, bokokotisa lisusu lingomba oyo te na mokili oyo napesi bango. »
Then the Lord said to Moses and Aaron, Because you had not enough faith in me to keep my name holy before the children of Israel, you will not take this people into the land which I have given them.
13 Ezalaki mayi ya Meriba epai wapi bana ya Isalaele baswanaki na Yawe, mpe epai wapi Yawe alakisaki bosantu na Ye kati na bango.
These are the waters of Meribah; because the children of Israel went against the Lord, and they saw that he was holy among them.
14 Wuta na Kadeshi, Moyize atindaki bantoma epai ya mokonzi ya Edomi mpe alobaki: — Tala maloba oyo ndeko na yo, Isalaele, alobi: « Oyebi pasi nyonso oyo ekomelaki biso.
Then Moses sent men from Kadesh to the king of Edom to say to him, Your brother Israel says, You have knowledge of all the things we have been through;
15 Bakoko na biso bakendeki na Ejipito mpe tokomaki kovanda kuna mibu ebele. Bato ya Ejipito banyokolaki biso elongo na bakoko na biso;
How our fathers went down into Egypt, and we were living in Egypt for a long time; and the Egyptians were cruel to us and to our fathers:
16 kasi tango togangaki epai na Yawe, ayokaki kolela na biso, atindelaki biso anjelu oyo abimisaki biso na Ejipito. Sik’oyo tozali awa na kadeshi, engumba oyo ezali na suka ya mokili na yo.
And the Lord gave ear to the voice of our cry, and sent an angel and took us out of Egypt: and now we are in Kadesh, a town on the edge of your land;
17 Tobondeli yo, tika biso tolekela na mboka na yo. Tokokota na elanga to na elanga ya vino moko te mpe tokomela mayi ya mabulu na bino te. Tokotambola kaka pembeni-pembeni ya nzela ya monene ya mokonzi bongo, tokokatisa ezala na ngambo ya loboko ya mobali to ya mwasi te, kino tokosilisa kokatisa mokili na yo. »
Let us now go through your land: we will not go into field or vine-garden, or take the water of the springs; we will go by the highway, not turning to the right or to the left, till we have gone past the limits of your land.
18 Kasi mokonzi ya Edomi azongiselaki ye: — Okoki kolekela na mokili na ngai te; soki omeki, tokobimela bino mpe tokobundisa bino na mopanga.
And Edom said, You are not to go through my land, for if you do I will come out against you with the sword.
19 Bana ya Isalaele bazongiselaki ye: — Tokotambola kaka pembeni-pembeni ya nzela ya monene mpe soki biso to bibwele na biso tomeli mayi na bino, tokofuta yango. Tolingi kaka eloko moko, eloko mosusu te: toleka kaka na makolo.
And the children of Israel said to him, We will go up by the highway: and if we or our cattle take of your water, we will give you a price for it: only let us go through on our feet, nothing more.
20 Azongiselaki bango lisusu: — Bokoki kolekela awa te. Boye, bato ya Edomi babimelaki bango na mampinga monene ya basoda mpo na kobundisa bana ya Isalaele.
But he said, You are not to go through. And Edom came out against them in his strength, with a great army.
21 Lokola Edomi eboyaki ete bana ya Isalaele balekela na etuka na yango, bana ya Isalaele bazwaki nzela mosusu.
So Edom would not let Israel go through his land; and Israel went in another direction.
22 Lisanga mobimba ya Isalaele babimaki wuta na Kadeshi mpe bakomaki kino na ngomba Ori.
And they went on from Kadesh, and came, with all their people, to Mount Hor.
23 Bongo, Yawe alobaki na Moyize mpe Aron na ngomba Ori, pembeni ya mondelo ya Edomi:
And at Mount Hor, at the edge of the land of Edom, the Lord said to Moses and Aaron,
24 « Aron alingi kokende kokutana na bakoko na ye, pamba te akokota te na mokili oyo napesi bana ya Isalaele, mpo ete bino mibale botombokelaki mitindo na Ngai na mayi ya Meriba.
Aaron will be put to rest with his people; he will not go into the land which I have given to the children of Israel, because you went against my word at the waters of Meribah.
25 Kamata Aron na Eleazari, mwana na ye ya mobali mpe mema bango likolo ya ngomba Ori.
So take Aaron and Eleazar, his son, up into Mount Hor;
26 Longola Aron bilamba na ye mpe latisa yango Eleazari, mwana na ye ya mobali, pamba te Aron alingi kokende kokutana na bakoko na ye, akokufa kuna. »
And take Aaron's robes off him and put them on Eleazar, his son: and death will come to Aaron there, and he will be put to rest with his people.
27 Moyize asalaki ndenge kaka Yawe atindaki: bamataki likolo ya ngomba Ori na miso ya lisanga mobimba.
So Moses did as the Lord had said, and before the eyes of all the people they went up Mount Hor.
28 Moyize alongolaki Aron bilamba mpe alatisaki yango Eleazari, mwana na ye ya mobali. Mpe Aron akufa kuna na likolo ya ngomba. Boye, Moyize mpe Eleazari bakitaki ngomba;
And Moses took off Aaron's robes, and put them on Eleazar, his son; and there on the top of the mountain death came to Aaron: then Moses and Eleazar came down from the mountain.
29 mpe tango lingomba mobimba eyokaki sango ete Aron asilaki kokufa, bato nyonso ya Isalaele basalelaki ye matanga ya mikolo tuku misato.
And when the people saw that Aaron was dead, all the children of Israel gave themselves up to weeping for him for thirty days.
