Mitango 31
1 Yawe alobaki na Moyize:
And the LORD spake 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 spake unto the people, saying, Arm some of yourselves unto the war, and let them go against the Midianites, and avenge the LORD of 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 to the war, a thousand of [every] tribe, them and Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest, to the war, with the holy instruments, and the trumpets to blow in his hand.
7 Babundisaki Madiani ndenge Yawe atindaki na nzela ya Moyize mpe babomaki mibali nyonso.
And they warred against the Midianites, as the LORD commanded Moses; and they slew all the males.
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, beside the rest of them that were slain; [namely], Evi, and Rekem, and Zur, and Hur, and Reba, 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 [all] the women of Midian captives, and their little ones, and took the spoil of all their cattle, and all their flocks, and all their goods.
10 Batumbaki bingumba nyonso epai wapi bato ya Madiani bazalaki kovanda, na milako na bango nyonso.
And they burnt all their cities wherein they dwelt, and all their goodly castles, 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 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 the captives, and the prey, and the spoil, unto Moses, and Eleazar the priest, and unto the congregation of the children of Israel, unto the camp at the plains of Moab, which [are] by Jordan [near] 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, [with] the captains over thousands, and captains over hundreds, which came from the battle.
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 commit trespass against the LORD in the matter of Peor, and there was a plague 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 a 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 do ye abide without the camp seven days: whosoever hath killed any person, and whosoever hath touched any slain, purify [both] yourselves and your captives on the third day, and on 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 purify all [your] raiment, and all that is made of skins, and all work of goats’ [hair], and all things made of wood.
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 which went to the battle, This [is] the ordinance of the law which the LORD commanded Moses;
22 ‹ Ezali kaka wolo, palata, bronze, motako, ete, mbodi
Only 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 [it] go through the fire, and it shall be clean: nevertheless it shall be purified with the water of separation: and all that abideth not the fire ye shall make 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 shall come into the camp.
25 Yawe alobaki na Moyize:
And the LORD spake 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 chief fathers 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 them that took the war upon them, who went out to battle, and between 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 which went out to battle: one soul of five hundred, [both] of the persons, and of the beeves, and of the asses, and of the sheep:
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, [for] an heave offering 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. »
And of the children of Israel’s half, thou shalt take one portion of fifty, of the persons, of the beeves, of the asses, and of the flocks, of all manner of beasts, and give them unto the Levites, which 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;
And the booty, [being] the rest of the prey which the men of war had caught, 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 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 seven and thirty 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 which 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] the LORD’s heave offering, 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 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 half [that pertained unto] the congregation 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 asses and five hundred,
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 portion of fifty, [both] of man and of beast, and gave them unto the Levites, which 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 which [were] over thousands of the host, the captains of thousands, and 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 which [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. »
We have therefore brought an oblation for the LORD, what every man hath gotten, of jewels of gold, chains, and bracelets, rings, earrings, and tablets, to make an 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 offering that they offered up to 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 spoil, 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 tabernacle of the congregation, [for] a memorial for the children of Israel before the LORD.
