Mitango 26
1 Sima na etumbu wana, Yawe alobaki na Moyize mpe na Nganga-Nzambe Eleazari, mwana mobali ya Aron:
After the plague [ended], Yahweh said to Eleazar and Moses/me,
2 « Botanga motango ya bato ya lisanga mobimba ya Isalaele, bato nyonso oyo bazali na mibu tuku mibale mpe koleka, oyo bazali na makoki ya kosala mosala ya kisoda kati na Isalaele. »
“Count all the people of Israel [again]. Write down the names of all the men who are at least 20 years old who are able to fight [in battles], along with their family names.”
3 Moyize elongo na Nganga-Nzambe Eleazari basololaki na bango na etando ya Moabi, na libongo ya Yordani, pene na Jeriko, mpe balobaki:
So while the Israelis were on the plains where the Moab people-group lived, Eleazar and Moses/I told this to the Israeli leaders:
4 « Tokotanga motango ya bana mibali nyonso ya Isalaele oyo bazali na mibu tuku mibale mpe koleka, ndenge Yawe apesaki mitindo epai ya Moyize. » Tala bana ya Isalaele oyo babimaki na Ejipito:

“Divide Canaan land among the tribes. Distribute the land according the number of people in each tribe that are on your lists.
54 Bokopesa eteni ya mabele ya monene epai ya libota oyo ezali mpe monene, eteni ya mabele ya moke epai ya libota oyo ezali mpe moke. Libota moko na moko ekozwa libula na yango, kolanda motango ya bato oyo batangaki.
Decide by (casting lots/throwing stones which are marked) to determine which group will get which area, but give the largest areas to the groups with the most people.”
55 Bakokabola mokili na kobeta zeke mpe libota moko na moko ekozwa libula na yango, kolanda bakombo ya bakoko ya bikolo na bango.

The leaders counted 23,000 men from the descendants of Levi who were at least one month old. But these men were not counted when the rest of the Israeli people [were counted], because they were not given any land.

Those were the men whom Eleazar and Moses/I said should be counted. They counted the Israeli people on the plains where the Moab people-group lived, on the [east] side of the Jordan River, across from Jericho [city].
64 Kati na bango, moko te atikalaki na bomoi, kati na ba-oyo Moyize mpe Nganga-Nzambe Aron batangaki, tango batangaki bana ya Isalaele kati na esobe ya Sinai.
None of the men whom they counted were on the lists that were made by Aaron and Moses/me when the Israelis were in the Sinai Desert,
65 Pamba te Yawe alobaki na bana ya Isalaele wana ete bakokufa solo na esobe, mpe moko te kati na bango longola kaka Kalebi, mwana mobali ya Yefune, mpe Jozue, mwana mobali ya Nuni.
because Yahweh had said about them, “They will all die in this desert,” [and that is what happened]. The only ones who were still alive were Jephunneh’s son Caleb and Nun’s son Joshua.
