Mitango 31
1 Yawe alobaki na Moyize:
And the LORD spoke unto 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. »
'Avenge the children of Israel of the Midianites; afterward shalt thou be gathered unto 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 spoke unto the people, saying: 'Arm ye men from among you for the war, that they may go against Midian, to execute the LORD'S vengeance on Midian.
4 Libota moko na moko ya Isalaele ekotinda basoda nkoto moko na etumba. »
Of every tribe a thousand, throughout all the tribes of Israel, shall ye send 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.
So there were delivered, out of the thousands of Israel, a thousand of every tribe, twelve thousand armed for war.
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, a thousand of every tribe, to the war, them and Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest, to the war, with the holy vessels and the trumpets for the alarm in his hand.
7 Babundisaki Madiani ndenge Yawe atindaki na nzela ya Moyize mpe babomaki mibali nyonso.
And they warred against Midian, as the LORD commanded Moses; and they slew every male.
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 they slew the kings of Midian with the rest of their slain: Evi, and Rekem, and Zur, and Hur, and Reba, the five kings of Midian; Balaam also the son of Beor they slew 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 the children of Israel took captive the women of Midian and their little ones; and all their cattle, and all their flocks, and all their goods, they took for a prey.
10 Batumbaki bingumba nyonso epai wapi bato ya Madiani bazalaki kovanda, na milako na bango nyonso.
And all their cities in the places wherein they dwelt, and all their encampments, they burnt with fire.
11 Bamemaki bomengo nyonso ya bitumba mpe biloko nyonso oyo babotolaki elongo na bato, banyama;
And they took all the spoil, and all the prey, both of man and of beast.
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 the captives, and the prey, and the spoil, unto Moses, and unto Eleazar the priest, and unto the congregation of the children of Israel, unto the camp, unto the plains of Moab, which are by the Jordan at 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 congregation, 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 was wroth with the officers of the host, the captains of thousands and the captains of hundreds, who came from the service of the war.
15 Moyize atunaki bango: « Boni, botiki basi nyonso na bomoi?
And Moses said unto them: 'Have ye saved all the women alive?
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.
Behold, these caused the children of Israel, through the counsel of Balaam, to revolt so as to break faith with the LORD in the matter of Peor, and so the plague was among the congregation of the LORD.
17 Sik’oyo, boboma mibali nyonso mpe basi nyonso oyo bayebi nzoto ya mibali;
Now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman that hath known man by lying with him.
18 kasi bobatela na bomoi mpo na bino, basi nyonso oyo bayebi nanu nzoto ya mibali te.
But all the women children, that have not known man by lying with him, keep alive 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 encamp ye without the camp seven days; whosoever hath killed any person, and whosoever hath touched any slain, purify yourselves on the third day and on the seventh day, ye and your captives.
20 Bokopetola mpe lisusu bilamba nyonso mpe biloko nyonso oyo basala na baposo ya banyama, na suki ya bantaba to mpe na banzete. »
And as to every garment, and all that is made of skin, and all work of goats' hair, and all things made of wood, ye shall purify.'
21 Nganga-Nzambe Eleazari alobaki na basoda oyo bakendeki na bitumba: « Botala bikateli ya mobeko oyo Yawe apesaki epai ya Moyize:
And Eleazar the priest said unto the men of war that went to the battle: 'This is the statute of the law which the LORD hath commanded Moses:
22 ‹ Ezali kaka wolo, palata, bronze, motako, ete, mbodi
Howbeit the gold, and the silver, the brass, the iron, the tin, and the lead,
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.
every thing that may abide the fire, ye shall make to go through the fire, and it shall be clean; nevertheless it shall be purified with the water of sprinkling; and all that abideth not the fire ye shall make to go through the water.
24 Na mokolo ya sambo, bokopetola bilamba na bino mpe bokokoma peto mpe na sima nde bokoki kozonga na molako. › »
And ye shall wash your clothes on the seventh day, and ye shall be clean, and afterward ye may come into the camp.'
25 Yawe alobaki na Moyize:
And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying:
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 prey that was taken, both of man and of beast, thou, and Eleazar the priest, and the heads of the fathers' houses of the congregation;
27 Kabola bomengo ya bitumba yango kati na basoda oyo bakendeki na bitumba mpe bato ya lisanga ya Isalaele oyo batikalaki.
and divide the prey into two parts: between the men skilled in war, that went out to battle, and all the congregation;
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 levy a tribute unto the LORD of the men of war that went out to battle: one soul of five hundred, both of the persons, and of the beeves, and of the asses, and of the flocks;
29 Kamata mpako yango kati na ndambo ya eteni na bango mpe pesa yango epai ya Nganga-Nzambe Eleazari lokola eteni ya Yawe.
take it of their half, and give it unto Eleazar the priest, as a portion set apart for 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. »
And of the children of Israel's half, thou shalt take one drawn out of every fifty, of the persons, of the beeves, of the asses, and of the flocks, even of all the cattle, and give them unto the Levites, that keep the charge of the tabernacle of the LORD.'
31 Moyize mpe Nganga-Nzambe Eleazari basalaki ndenge Yawe atindaki Moyize.
And Moses and Eleazar the priest did as the LORD commanded Moses.
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;
Now the prey, over and above the booty which the men of war took, was six hundred thousand and seventy thousand and five thousand sheep,
33 ngombe nkoto tuku sambo na mibale;
and threescore and twelve thousand beeves,
34 ane nkoto tuku motoba na moko
and threescore and one thousand asses,
35 mpe basi oyo bayebi nanu nzoto ya mibali te nkoto tuku misato na mibale.
and thirty and two thousand persons in all, of the women that had not known man by lying with him.
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 the half, which was the portion of them that went out to war, was in number three hundred thousand and thirty thousand and seven thousand and five hundred sheep.
37 mpe mpako mpo na Yawe ezalaki: bameme mpe bantaba nkama motoba na tuku sambo na mitano;
And the LORD'S tribute of the sheep was six hundred and threescore and fifteen.
38 bangombe nkoto tuku misato na motoba, mpe mpako mpo na Yawe ezalaki: bangombe tuku sambo na mibale;
And the beeves were thirty and six thousand, of which the LORD'S tribute was threescore and twelve.
39 ba-ane nkoto tuku misato na nkama mitano, mpe mpako mpo na Yawe ezalaki: ba-ane tuku motoba na moko;
And the asses were thirty thousand and five hundred, of which the LORD'S tribute was threescore and one.
40 bato nkoto zomi na motoba, mpe mpako mpo na Yawe ezalaki: bato tuku misato na mibale.
And the persons were sixteen thousand, of whom the LORD'S tribute was thirty and two persons.
41 Moyize apesaki mpako mpo na Yawe epai ya Nganga-Nzambe Eleazari ndenge Yawe atindaki ye.
And Moses gave the tribute, which was set apart for the LORD, unto Eleazar the priest, as the LORD commanded Moses.
42 Boye, ndambo oyo epesamelaki bana ya Isalaele, oyo Moyize alongolaki na bomengo ya bato oyo bakendeki na bitumba,
And of the children of Israel's half, which Moses divided off from the men that warred —
43 ndambo oyo epesamelaki lisanga ezalaki: meme elongo na bantaba nkoto nkama misato na tuku misato na sambo na nkama mitano;
now the congregation's half was three hundred thousand and thirty thousand and seven thousand and five hundred sheep,
44 ngombe nkoto tuku misato na motoba;
and thirty and six thousand beeves,
45 ba-ane nkoto tuku misato na nkama mitano,
and thirty thousand and five hundred asses,
46 mpe bato nkoto zomi na motoba.
and 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.
even of the children of Israel's half, Moses took one drawn out of every fifty, both of man and of beast, and gave them unto the Levites, that kept the charge of the tabernacle of the LORD; as the LORD commanded Moses.
48 Bongo, bakonzi ya mampinga, bakonzi ya bankoto ya basoda mpe ya bankama bayaki epai ya Moyize.
And the officers that were over the thousands of the host, the captains of thousands, and the captains of hundreds, came near unto Moses;
49 Balobaki na Moyize: « Basali na yo batangi motango ya basoda oyo bazali na se ya bokonzi na biso mpe ata moko te azangi.
and they said unto Moses: 'Thy servants have taken the sum of the men of war that are under our charge, and there lacketh not one man of us.
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. »
And we have brought the LORD'S offering, what every man hath gotten, of jewels of gold, armlets, and bracelets, signet-rings, ear-rings, and girdles, to make atonement for our souls before the LORD.'
51 Moyize mpe Nganga-Nzambe Eleazari bazwaki na maboko na bango, biloko nyonso oyo basala na wolo.
And Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold of them, even all wrought jewels.
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.
And all the gold of the gift that they set apart for the LORD, of the captains of thousands, and of the captains of hundreds, was sixteen thousand seven hundred and fifty shekels. —
53 Soda na soda akamataki na makasi mpo na ye moko bomengo na ye ya bitumba.
For the men of war had taken booty, every man for himself. —
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 Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold of the captains of thousands and of hundreds, and brought it into the tent of meeting, for a memorial for the children of Israel before the LORD.
