Mitango 21
1 Tango moto ya mboka Kanana, mokonzi ya Aradi, oyo azalaki kovanda na Negevi ayokaki ete Isalaele azali koya pembeni ya nzela ya Atarimi, abundisaki bana ya Isalaele mpe akangaki bamosusu kati na bango na boloko.
And Arad the Chananitish king who dwelt by the wilderness, heard that Israel came by the way of Atharin; and he made war on Israel, and carried off some of them captives.
2 Boye, bana ya Isalaele balapaki ndayi oyo epai na Yawe: « Soki okabi bato oyo na maboko na biso, tokobebisa bingumba na bango nyonso. »
And Israel vowed a vow to the Lord, and said, If thou wilt deliver this people into my power, I will devote it and its cities [to thee].
3 Yawe ayokaki kolela ya bana ya Isalaele mpe apesaki bango elonga likolo ya bato ya mboka Kanana elongo na bingumba na bango. Yango wana, babengaka esika yango « Orima » oyo elingi koloba: kobebisama.
And the Lord hearkened to the voice of Israel, and delivered the Chananite into his power; and [Israel] devoted him and his cities, and they called the name of that place Anathema.
4 Bana ya Isalaele batikaki ngomba Ori mpe bakendeki pembeni-pembeni ya nzela ya ebale monene ya Barozo, mpo na kokima mokili ya Edomi. Kasi bato bakokaki lisusu te kokanga motema na nzela.
And having departed from mount Or by the way [leading] to the Red Sea, they compassed the land of Edom, and the people lost courage by the way.
5 Batombokelaki Nzambe mpe Moyize, balobaki: « Mpo na nini boye! Bobimisaki biso na Ejipito mpo ete toya kokufa na esobe? Bilei ezali te, mayi ezali te mpe tolembi kolia bilei oyo ya pamba-pamba! »
And the people spoke against God and against Moses, saying, Why is this? Hast thou brought us ought of Egypt to slay us in the wilderness? for there is not bread nor water; and our soul loathes this light bread.
6 Bongo Yawe atindelaki bango banyoka ya ngenge oyo ekomaki koswa bato mpe bana ya Isalaele ebele bakufaki.
And the Lord sent among the people deadly serpents, and they bit the people, and much people of the children of Israel died.
7 Bato bayaki epai ya Moyize mpe balobaki: « Tosalaki masumu tango totombokelaki Yawe mpe totombokelaki yo. Bondela Yawe ete alongola mosika na biso banyoka oyo. » Boye, Moyize abondelaki mpo na bato.
And the people came to Moses and said, We have sinned, for we have spoken against the Lord, and against thee: pray therefore to the Lord, and let him take away the serpent from us.
8 Yawe alobaki na Moyize: — Salisa nyoka moko ya ebende mpe telemisa yango likolo ya nzete mpo ete moto nyonso oyo aswami, atala yango mpe abika.
And Moses prayed to the Lord for the people; and the Lord said to Moses, Make thee a serpent, and put it on a signal-[staff]; and it shall come to pass that whenever a serpent shall bite a man, every one [so] bitten that looks upon it shall live.
9 Boye, Moyize asalisaki nyoka moko ya ebende mpe atelemisaki yango na likolo ya nzete. Boye moto nyonso oyo nyoka eswaki, bongo atalaki nyoka ya ebende, abikaki.
And Moses made a serpent of brass, and put it upon a signal-[staff]: and it came to pass that whenever a serpent bit a man, and he looked on the brazen serpent, he lived.
10 Bana ya Isalaele balongwaki wana mpe bakendeki kotonga molako na bango na Oboti.
And the children of Israel departed, and encamped in Oboth.
11 Kolongwa na Oboti bakendeki kotonga molako na bango na Iye-Abarimi, na esobe oyo etalana na Moabi, na ngambo oyo moyi ebimaka.
And having departed from Oboth, they encamped in Achalgai, on the farther side in the wilderness, which is opposite Moab, toward the east.
12 Kolongwa wana, bakendeki kotonga molako na bango na lubwaku ya Zeredi.
And thence they departed, and encamped in the valley of Zared.
13 Kolongwa wana, bakendeki kotonga molako na bango na ngambo mosusu ya Arinoni, mayi oyo elekela na esobe, wuta na etuka ya mokili ya bato ya Amori. Mayi ya Arinoni ezalaki na mondelo ya Moabi, na kati-kati ya mokili ya Moabi mpe ya Amori.
And they departed thence and encamped on the other side of Arnon in the wilderness, [the country] which extends from the coasts of the Amorites; for Arnon is the borders of Moab, between Moab and the Amorites.
14 Yango wana, buku ya bitumba ya Yawe eloba: « Wahebi kati na Sufa mpe miluka na yango, Arinoni
Therefore it is said in a book, A war of the Lord has set on fire Zoob, and the brooks of Arnon.
15 mpe nzela ya miluka ya mabwaku oyo ekenda kino na engumba Ari mpe elekela pembeni-pembeni ya mondelo ya Moabi. »
And he has appointed brooks to cause Er to dwell [there]; and it lies near to the coasts of Moab.
16 Kolongwa wana, bakobaki kokende kino na Beri oyo ezalaki libulu ya mayi epai wapi Yawe alobaki na Moyize: « Sangisa bato esika moko mpo ete nakopesa bango mayi. »
And thence [they came to] the well; this [is] the well of which the Lord said to Moses, Gather the people, and I will give them water to drink.
17 Boye, bana ya Isalaele bayembaki loyembo oyo: « Oh libulu, bimisa mayi! Boyembela yango!
Then Israel sang this song at the well, Begin [to sing] of the well;
18 Libulu oyo bana bakonzi batimola, oyo bato minene batobola na mangenda mpe banzete na bango. » Kolongwa na esobe, bakendeki kino na Matana;
the princes digged it, the kings of the nations in their kingdom, in their lordship sank it in the rock: and [they went] from the well to Manthanain,
19 kolongwa na Matana bakendeki na Naalieli, kolongwa na Naalieli bakendeki kino na Bamoti;
and from Manthanain to Naaliel, and from Naaliel to Bamoth, and from Bamoth to Janen, which is in the plain of Moab [as seen] from the top of the quarried [rock] that looks toward the wilderness.
20 mpe kolongwa na Bamoti bakendeki kino na lubwaku ya Moabi, na songe ya ngomba Pisiga, oyo eleki molayi na esobe.
And Moses sent ambassadors to Seon king of the Amorites, with peaceable words, saying,
21 Bana ya Isalaele batindaki bantoma mpo na koyebisa Sikoni, mokonzi ya bato ya Amori:
We will pass through thy land, we will go by the road; we will not turn aside to the field or to the vineyard.
22 « Tika biso tolekela na mokili na yo. Tokokota te na elanga to na elanga ya vino moko, mpe tokomela te mayi ya mabulu na bino; tokoleka kaka na nzela ya monene ya mokonzi kino tokosilisa kokatisa mokili na yo. »
We will not drink water out of thy well; we will go by the king's highway, until we have past thy boundaries.
23 Kasi Sikoni aboyaki kopesa bana ya Isalaele nzela ya kolekela na mokili na ye; asangisaki mampinga na ye nyonso ya basoda mpe abimaki na esobe mpo na kobundisa Isalaele. Abundisaki Isalaele tango akomaki na Yakatsi.
And Seon did not allow Israel to pass through his borders, and Seon gathered all his people, and went out to set the battle in array against Israel into the wilderness; and he came to Jassa, and set the battle in array against Israel.
24 Kasi Isalaele alongaki ye mpe akamataki mokili na ye wuta na Arinoni kino na Yaboki, mpe lisusu kino na mokili ya bato ya Amoni, mpo ete bazalaki kokengela mondelo yango makasi.
And Israel smote him with the slaughter of the sword, and they became possessors of his land, from Arnon to Jaboc, as far as the children of Amman, for Jazer is the borders of the children of Amman.
25 Isalaele abotolaki bingumba nyonso ya bato ya Amori mpe bakomaki kovanda kati na yango, bakisa Eshiboni mpe bamboka mike na yango nyonso ya zingazinga.
And Israel took all their cities, and Israel dwelt in all the cities of the Amorites, in Esebon, and in all cities belonging to it.
26 Eshiboni ezalaki engumba oyo Sikoni, mokonzi ya bato ya Amori, oyo abundisaki mokonzi ya kala ya Moabi mpe abotolaki na maboko na ye mokili nyonso, kino na Arinoni.
For Esebon is the city of Seon king of the Amorites; and he before fought against the king of Moab, and they took all his land, from Aroer to Arnon.
27 Yango wana balobaka na masese: « Boya na Eshiboni! Tika ete etelema lisusu! Tika ete engumba Sikoni etongama lisusu!
Therefore say they who deal in dark speeches, Come to Esebon, that the city of Seon may be built and prepared.
28 Moto ebimaki wuta na Eshiboni, ndemo ya moto ebimaki wuta na engumba ya Sikoni, etumbaki Ari ya Moabi, bavandi ya bangomba ya Arinoni.
For a fire has gone forth from Esebon, a flame from the city of Seon, and has consumed as far as Moab, and devoured the pillars of Arnon.
29 Oh Moabi, mawa na yo! Oh bato ya Kemoshi, bobebisami! Bakomisaki bana na ye ya mibali bakimi; mpe bana basi na ye, bakangami ya mokonzi Sikoni, mokonzi ya Amori.
Woe to thee, Moab; thou art lost, thou people of Chamos: their sons are sold for preservation, and their daughters are captives to Seon king of the Amorites.
30 Kasi tolongi bango; Eshiboni nyonso ebebisami kino na Diboni, topanzi yango nyonso kino na Nofaki, mpe kino na Medeba. »
And their seed shall perish [from] Esebon to Daebon; and their women have yet farther kindled a fire against Moab.
31 Boye Isalaele avandaki na mokili ya bato ya Amori.
And Israel dwelt in all the cities of the Amorites.
32 Sima na yango, Moyize atindaki banongi na Yaezeri, bana ya Isalaele babotolaki bamboka ya mike-mike oyo ya zingazinga na yango mpe babenganaki bato ya Amori oyo bazalaki kovanda kuna.
And Moses sent to spy out Jazer; and they took it, and its villages, and cast out the Amorite that dwelt there.
33 Boye bana ya Isalaele babalukaki mpe bakendeki pembeni-pembeni ya nzela oyo ekenda kino na Bashani. Ogi, mokonzi ya Bashani, elongo na mampinga na ye nyonso babimaki mpo na kokutana na bango mpe kobundisa bango na Edreyi.
And having returned, they went up the road thhebraismat leads to Basan; and Og the king of Basan went forth to meet them, and all his people to war to Edrain.
34 Bongo Yawe alobaki na Moyize: « Kobanga ye te, pamba te nakabi ye elongo na mampinga na ye nyonso mpe mokili na ye na maboko na yo; sala ye ndenge osalaki Sikoni, mokonzi ya bato ya Amori, oyo azalaki kovanda na Eshiboni. »
And the Lord said to Moses, Fear him not; for I have delivered him and all his people, and all his land, into thy hands; and thou shalt do to him as thou didst to Seon king of the Amorites, who dwelt in Esebon.
35 Boye, bana ya Isalaele babomaki ye elongo na bana na ye ya mibali mpe mampinga na ye nyonso; batikaki ata moto moko te na bomoi, mpe bakamataki mokili na ye.
And he smote him and his sons, and all his people, until he left none of his to be taken alive; and they inherited his land.
