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 the Canaanite, king of Arad, dwelling in the south, hears that Israel has come the way of the Atharim, and he fights against Israel, and takes [some] of them captive.
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 vows a vow to YHWH and says, “If You certainly give this people into my hand, then I have devoted their cities”;
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 YHWH listens to the voice of Israel and gives up the Canaanite, and he devotes them and their cities, and calls the name of the place Hormah.
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 they journey from Mount Hor, the way of the Red Sea, to go around the land of Edom, and the soul of the people is short in 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 speak against God and against Moses, “Why have you brought us up out of Egypt to die in a wilderness? For there is no bread, and there is no water, and our soul has been weary of this light bread.”
6 Bongo Yawe atindelaki bango banyoka ya ngenge oyo ekomaki koswa bato mpe bana ya Isalaele ebele bakufaki.
And YHWH sends the burning serpents among the people, and they bite the people, and many people of Israel die;
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 come to Moses and say, “We have sinned, for we have spoken against YHWH and against you; pray to YHWH that He turns the serpent aside from us”; and Moses prays in behalf of the people.
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 YHWH says to Moses, “Make a burning [serpent] for yourself, and set it on an ensign; and it has been, everyone who is bitten and has seen it—he has lived.”
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 makes a serpent of bronze, and sets it on the ensign, and it has been, if the serpent has bitten any man, and he has looked expectingly to the serpent of bronze—he has lived.
10 Bana ya Isalaele balongwaki wana mpe bakendeki kotonga molako na bango na Oboti.
And the sons of Israel journey and encamp 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 they journey from Oboth and encamp in Ije-Abarim, in the wilderness that [is] on the front of Moab, at the rising of the sun.
12 Kolongwa wana, bakendeki kotonga molako na bango na lubwaku ya Zeredi.
From there they have journeyed and encamp 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.
From there they have journeyed and encamp beyond Arnon, which [is] in the wilderness which is coming out of the border of the Amorite, for Arnon [is] the border of Moab, between Moab and the Amorite;
14 Yango wana, buku ya bitumba ya Yawe eloba: « Wahebi kati na Sufa mpe miluka na yango, Arinoni
therefore it is said in [the] scroll of the Wars of YHWH: “Waheb in Suphah, 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 the spring of the brooks, Which turned aside to the dwelling of Ar, And has leaned to the border 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 from there [they journeyed] to Beer; it [is] the well [concerning] which YHWH said to Moses, “Gather the people, and I give water to them.”
17 Boye, bana ya Isalaele bayembaki loyembo oyo: « Oh libulu, bimisa mayi! Boyembela yango!
Then Israel sings this song: “Spring up, O well, Let all answer to it!
18 Libulu oyo bana bakonzi batimola, oyo bato minene batobola na mangenda mpe banzete na bango. » Kolongwa na esobe, bakendeki kino na Matana;
A well—princes have dug it, Nobles of the people have prepared it, With the lawgiver, with their staffs.” And from the wilderness [they journeyed] to Mattanah,
19 kolongwa na Matana bakendeki na Naalieli, kolongwa na Naalieli bakendeki kino na Bamoti;
and from Mattanah to Nahaliel, and from Nahaliel to Bamoth,
20 mpe kolongwa na Bamoti bakendeki kino na lubwaku ya Moabi, na songe ya ngomba Pisiga, oyo eleki molayi na esobe.
and from Bamoth, in the valley which [is] in the field of Moab, [to] the top of Pisgah, which has looked on the front of the wilderness.
21 Bana ya Isalaele batindaki bantoma mpo na koyebisa Sikoni, mokonzi ya bato ya Amori:
And Israel sends messengers to Sihon king of the Amorite, saying,
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. »
“Let me pass through your land, we do not turn aside into a field or into a vineyard; we do not drink waters of a well; we go in the king’s way until we pass over your border.”
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 Sihon has not permitted Israel to pass through his border, and Sihon gathers all his people, and comes out to meet Israel in the wilderness, and comes to Jahaz, and fights 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 strikes him by the mouth of the sword, and possesses his land from Arnon to Jabbok—to the sons of Ammon; for the border of the sons of Ammon [is] strong.
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 takes all these cities, and Israel dwells in all the cities of the Amorite, in Heshbon and in all its villages;
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 Heshbon is a city of Sihon king of the Amorite, and he has fought against the former king of Moab, and takes all his land out of his hand as far as Arnon;
27 Yango wana balobaka na masese: « Boya na Eshiboni! Tika ete etelema lisusu! Tika ete engumba Sikoni etongama lisusu!
therefore those using allegories say: “Enter Heshbon, Let the city of Sihon be built and ready,
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 fire has gone out from Heshbon, A flame from the city of Sihon, It has consumed Ar of Moab, Owners of the high places 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 you, O Moab, You have perished, O people of Chemosh! He has given his sons [as] fugitives, And his daughters into captivity, To Sihon king of the Amorite!
30 Kasi tolongi bango; Eshiboni nyonso ebebisami kino na Diboni, topanzi yango nyonso kino na Nofaki, mpe kino na Medeba. »
And we shoot them; Heshbon has perished as far as Dibon, And we make desolate as far as Nophah, Which [is] as far as Medeba.”
31 Boye Isalaele avandaki na mokili ya bato ya Amori.
And Israel dwells in the land of the Amorite,
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 sends to spy out Jaazer, and they capture its villages, and dispossess the Amorite who [is] 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 turn and go up the way of Bashan, and Og king of Bashan comes out to meet them, he and all his people, to battle [at] Edrei.
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 YHWH says to Moses, “Do not fear him, for into your hand I have given him, and all his people, and his land, and you have done to him as you have done to Sihon king of the Amorite, who is dwelling in Heshbon.”
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 they strike him, and his sons, and all his people, until he has no remnant left to him, and they possess his land.
