Mitango 31
1 Yawe alobaki na Moyize:
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
2 « Zongisa mabe na mabe oyo bato ya Madiani basalaki bana ya Isalaele, mpe na sima, okokende kosangana na bakoko na yo na mokili ya bakufi. »
Revenge first the children of Israel on the Madianites, and so thou shalt be gathered to thy people.
3 Boye Moyize alobaki na bato: « Tika ete mibali kati na bino balata bibundeli mpo na kokende kobundisa mokili ya Madiani mpe kozongisela bango mabe na mabe, na Kombo na Yawe.
And Moses forthwith said: Arm of you men to fight, who may take the revenge of the Lord on the Madianites.
4 Libota moko na moko ya Isalaele ekotinda basoda nkoto moko na etumba. »
Let a thousand men be chosen out of every tribe of Israel to be sent to the war.
5 Boye, baponaki bato nkoto moko mpo na libota moko na moko kati na mabota ya Isalaele. Bongo, bato nkoto zomi na mibale balataki bibundeli mpo na kokende na etumba.
And they gave a thousand of every tribe, that is to say, twelve thousand men well appointed for battle.
6 Moyize atindaki bango na etumba bato nkoto moko ya libota moko na moko elongo na Nganga-Nzambe Pineasi, mwana mobali ya Eleazari oyo amemaki bisalelo ya Esika ya bule mpe bakelelo mpo na kopesa mbela.
And Moses sent them with Phinees the son of Eleazar the priest, and he delivered to him the holy vessels, and the trumpets to sound.
7 Babundisaki Madiani ndenge Yawe atindaki na nzela ya Moyize mpe babomaki mibali nyonso.
And when they had fought against the Madianites and had overcome them, they slew all the men.
8 Kati na molongo ya bato oyo babomaki, ezalaki na bakonzi ya Madiani oyo: Evi, Rekemi, Tsuri, Wuri mpe Reba. Babomaki mpe lisusu Balami, mwana mobali ya Beori na mopanga.
And their kings Evi, and Recem, and Sur, and Hur, and Rebe, five princes of the nation: Balaam also the son of Beer they killed with the sword.
9 Bana ya Isalaele bakangaki basi mpe bana ya Madiani elongo na banyama, bibwele mpe bozwi na bango nyonso lokola bomengo ya bitumba.
And they took their women, and their children captives, and all their cattle, and all their goods: and all their possessions they plundered:
10 Batumbaki bingumba nyonso epai wapi bato ya Madiani bazalaki kovanda, na milako na bango nyonso.
And all their cities, and their villages, and castles, they burned.
11 Bamemaki bomengo nyonso ya bitumba mpe biloko nyonso oyo babotolaki elongo na bato, banyama;
And they carried away the booty, and all that they had taken both of men and of beasts.
12 mpe bamemaki bakangami, biloko babotolaki mpe bomengo ya bitumba epai ya Moyize, Nganga-Nzambe Eleazari, mpe lisanga ya Isalaele na molako na bango oyo ezalaki na bitando ya Moabi, na libongo ya Yordani, pene ya Jeriko.
And they brought them to Moses, and Eleazar the priest, and to all the multitude of the children of Israel. But the rest of the things for use they carried to the camp on the plains of Moab, beside the Jordan over against Jericho.
13 Moyize, Nganga-Nzambe Eleazari mpe bakambi nyonso ya lisanga ya Isalaele bayaki koyamba bango na libanda ya molako.
And Moses and Eleazar the priest and all the princes of the synagogue went forth to meet them without the camp.
14 Moyize atombokelaki bakonzi oyo baponamaki mpo na kotambolisa mampinga, bakonzi ya nkoto ya basoda mpe ya nkama ya basoda, oyo bawutaki na bitumba.
And Moses being angry with the chief officers of the army, the tribunes, and the centurions that were come from the battle,
15 Moyize atunaki bango: « Boni, botiki basi nyonso na bomoi?
Said: Why have you saved the women?
16 Ezalaki nde bango bato balandaki toli ya Balami mpe batindikaki bana ya Isalaele na kopesa Yawe mokongo, kati na makambo oyo esalemaki na Peori; mpe yango nde esalaki ete etumbu ekweya likolo ya bato na Yawe.
Are not these they, that deceived the children of Israel by the counsel of Balaam, and made you transgress against the Lord by the sin of Phogor, for which also the people was punished?
17 Sik’oyo, boboma mibali nyonso mpe basi nyonso oyo bayebi nzoto ya mibali;
Therefore kill all that are of the male sex, even of the children: and put to death the women, that have carnally known men.
18 kasi bobatela na bomoi mpo na bino, basi nyonso oyo bayebi nanu nzoto ya mibali te.
But the girls, and all the women that are virgins save for yourselves:
19 Moto nyonso kati na bino oyo abomaki moto to asimbaki ebembe, asengeli kozala libanda ya molako mikolo sambo. Boye, na mokolo ya misato mpe ya sambo, bosengeli komipetola, bino mpe bakangami na bino.
And stay without the camp seven days. He that hath killed a man, or touched one that is killed, shall be purified the third day and the seventh day.
20 Bokopetola mpe lisusu bilamba nyonso mpe biloko nyonso oyo basala na baposo ya banyama, na suki ya bantaba to mpe na banzete. »
And of all the spoil, every garment, or vessel, or any thing made for use, of the skins, or hair of goats, or of wood, shall be purified.
21 Nganga-Nzambe Eleazari alobaki na basoda oyo bakendeki na bitumba: « Botala bikateli ya mobeko oyo Yawe apesaki epai ya Moyize:
Eleazar also the priest spoke to the men of the army, that had fought, in this manner: This is the ordinance of the law, which the Lord hath commanded Moses:
22 ‹ Ezali kaka wolo, palata, bronze, motako, ete, mbodi
Gold, and silver, and brass, and iron, and lend, and tin,
23 mpe biloko nyonso oyo ezikaka na moto te nde bokolekisa na moto mpo na kopetola yango; bokopetola yango lisusu na mayi ya bopetolami. Kasi bokopetola na mayi biloko nyonso oyo ezikaka na moto.
And all that may pass through the fire, shall be purified by fire, but whatsoever cannot abide the fire, shall be sanctified with the water of expiation:
24 Na mokolo ya sambo, bokopetola bilamba na bino mpe bokokoma peto mpe na sima nde bokoki kozonga na molako. › »
And you shall wash your garments the seventh day, and being purified, you shall afterwards enter into the camp.
25 Yawe alobaki na Moyize:
And the Lord said to Moses:
26 « Yo, Moyize, mpe Nganga-Nzambe Eleazari, elongo na bakambi ya mabota ya lisanga ya Isalaele, botanga motango ya bato, ya banyama nyonso oyo bakangaki.
Take the sum of the things that were taken both of man and beast, thou and Eleazar the priest and the princes of the multitude:
27 Kabola bomengo ya bitumba yango kati na basoda oyo bakendeki na bitumba mpe bato ya lisanga ya Isalaele oyo batikalaki.
And thou shalt divide the spoil equally, between them that fought and went out to the war, and between the rest of the multitude.
28 Na ndambo eteni oyo okopesa na basoda oyo bakendeki na bitumba, tia pembeni lokola mpako mpo na Yawe, moto moko kati na bato nkama mitano, ebwele moko kati na bibwele nkama mitano, ezala ya ngombe, ya ane, ya meme to ya bantaba.
And thou shalt separate a portion to the Lord from them that fought and were in the battle, one soul of five hundred as well of persons as of oxen and asses and sheep.
29 Kamata mpako yango kati na ndambo ya eteni na bango mpe pesa yango epai ya Nganga-Nzambe Eleazari lokola eteni ya Yawe.
And thou shalt give it to Eleazar the priest, because they are the firstfruits of the Lord.
30 Kamata kati na ndambo ya eteni ya bana ya Isalaele, moko kati na tuku mitano, ezala ya bato, ya ngombe, ya ane, ya meme, ya bantaba to ya bibwele mosusu mpe pesa yango epai ya Balevi oyo bazali na mokumba ya kobatela Mongombo na Yawe. »
Out of the moiety also of the children of Israel thou shalt take the fiftieth head of persons, and of oxen, and asses, and sheep, and of all beasts, and thou shalt give them to the Levites that watch in the charge of the tabernacle of the Lord.
31 Moyize mpe Nganga-Nzambe Eleazari basalaki ndenge Yawe atindaki Moyize.
And Moses and Eleazar did as the Lord had commanded.
32 Bomengo ya bitumba oyo etikalaki na oyo basoda oyo bakendeki na bitumba babotolaki ezalaki: meme na bantaba nkoto nkama motoba na tuku sambo na mitano;
And the spoil which the army had taken, was six hundred seventy-five thousand sheep,
33 ngombe nkoto tuku sambo na mibale;
Seventy-two thousand oxen,
34 ane nkoto tuku motoba na moko
Sixty-one thousand asses:
35 mpe basi oyo bayebi nanu nzoto ya mibali te nkoto tuku misato na mibale.
And thirty-two thousand persons of the female sex, that had not known men.
36 Ndambo ya eteni ya bomengo ya bitumba oyo bato oyo bakendeki na bitumba bazwaki ezalaki: bameme mpe bantaba nkoto nkama misato na tuku misato na sambo na nkama mitano;
And one half was given to them that had been in the battle, to wit, three hundred thirty-seven thousand five hundred sheep:
37 mpe mpako mpo na Yawe ezalaki: bameme mpe bantaba nkama motoba na tuku sambo na mitano;
Out of which, for the portion of the Lord, were reckoned six hundred seventy-five sheep.
38 bangombe nkoto tuku misato na motoba, mpe mpako mpo na Yawe ezalaki: bangombe tuku sambo na mibale;
And out of the thirty-six thousand oxen, seventy-two oxen:
39 ba-ane nkoto tuku misato na nkama mitano, mpe mpako mpo na Yawe ezalaki: ba-ane tuku motoba na moko;
Out of the thirty thousand five hundred asses, sixty-one asses:
40 bato nkoto zomi na motoba, mpe mpako mpo na Yawe ezalaki: bato tuku misato na mibale.
Out of the sixteen thousand persons, there fell to the portion of the Lord, thirty-two souls.
41 Moyize apesaki mpako mpo na Yawe epai ya Nganga-Nzambe Eleazari ndenge Yawe atindaki ye.
And Moses delivered the number of the firstfruits of the Lord to Eleazar the priest, as had been commanded him,
42 Boye, ndambo oyo epesamelaki bana ya Isalaele, oyo Moyize alongolaki na bomengo ya bato oyo bakendeki na bitumba,
Out of the half of the children of Israel, which he had separated for them that had been in the battle.
43 ndambo oyo epesamelaki lisanga ezalaki: meme elongo na bantaba nkoto nkama misato na tuku misato na sambo na nkama mitano;
But out of the half that fell to the rest of the multitude, that is to say, out of the three hundred thirty-seven thousand five hundred sheep,
44 ngombe nkoto tuku misato na motoba;
And out of the thirty-six thousand oxen,
45 ba-ane nkoto tuku misato na nkama mitano,
And out of the thirty thousand five hundred asses,
46 mpe bato nkoto zomi na motoba.
And out of the sixteen thousand persons,
47 Na ndambo oyo epesamelaki bana ya Isalaele, Moyize alongolaki moto moko kati na bato tuku mitano mpe nyama moko kati na banyama tuku mitano, ndenge Yawe atindaki ye mpe apesaki yango epai ya Balevi oyo bazalaki na mokumba ya kobatela Mongombo na Yawe.
Moses took the fiftieth head, and gave it to the Levites that watched in the tabernacle of the Lord, as the Lord had commanded.
48 Bongo, bakonzi ya mampinga, bakonzi ya bankoto ya basoda mpe ya bankama bayaki epai ya Moyize.
And when the commanders of the army, and the tribunes and centurions were come to Moses, they said:
49 Balobaki na Moyize: « Basali na yo batangi motango ya basoda oyo bazali na se ya bokonzi na biso mpe ata moko te azangi.
We thy servants have reckoned up the number of the fighting men, whom we had under our hand, and not so much as one was wanting.
50 Boye, tomemi epai na Yawe lokola makabo, biloko ya wolo oyo: biloko oyo balataka na maboko, bapete, bamedayi, biloko ya matoyi, basheneti oyo moko na moko na biso azwaki mpo na kosala mosala ya bolimbisi masumu liboso ya Yawe. »
Therefore we offer as gifts to the Lord what gold every one of us could find in the booty, in garters and tablets, rings and bracelets, and chains, that thou mayst pray to the Lord for us.
51 Moyize mpe Nganga-Nzambe Eleazari bazwaki na maboko na bango, biloko nyonso oyo basala na wolo.
And Moses and Eleazar the priest received all the gold in divers kinds,
52 Wolo nyonso oyo Moyize mpe Nganga-Nzambe Eleazari bazwaki lokola makabo mpo na Yawe, na maboko ya bakonzi ya bankoto mpe ya bankama, ezalaki bakilo nkama moko na tuku mwambe na minei.
In weight sixteen thousand seven hundred and fifty sicles, from the tribunes and from the centurions.
53 Soda na soda akamataki na makasi mpo na ye moko bomengo na ye ya bitumba.
For that which every one had taken in the booty was his own.
54 Moyize mpe Nganga-Nzambe Eleazari bazwaki wolo na maboko ya bakonzi ya nkoto ya basoda mpe ya nkama ya basoda mpe bamemaki yango kati na Ndako ya kapo ya Bokutani lokola ekaniseli mpo na bana ya Isalaele liboso ya Yawe.
And that which was received they brought into the tabernacle of the testimony, for a memorial of the children of Israel before the Lord.
