Mitango 32
1 Bakitani ya Ribeni mpe ya Gadi bazalaki na bibwele mingi penza. Bamonaki ete mokili ya Yaezeri mpe ya Galadi ezali malamu mingi mpo na kobokola bibwele.
Nowe the children of Reuben, and the children of Gad had an exceeding great multitude of cattell: and they sawe the lande of Iazer, and the lande of Gilead, that it was an apt place for cattel.
2 Bongo bakitani ya Ribeni mpe ya Gadi bayaki koloba na Moyize, na Nganga-Nzambe Eleazari mpe na bakambi ya lisanga:
Then the children of Gad, and the childre of Reuben came, and spake vnto Moses and to Eleazar the Priest, and vnto the princes of the Congregation, saying,
3 « Bingumba ya Ataroti, ya Diboni, ya Yaezeri, ya Nimira, ya Eshiboni, ya Eleale, ya Sebami, ya Nebo mpe ya Beoni;
The land of Ataroth, and Dibon, and Iazer, and Nimrah, and Heshbon, and Elealeh, and Shebam, and Nebo, and Beon,
4 bituka oyo Yawe akweyisaki liboso ya bato ya Isalaele, ezali malamu mpo na kobokola bibwele; nzokande, basali na yo bazali mpe na bibwele. »
Which countrey the Lord smote before the Congregation of Israel, is a lande meete for cattell, and thy seruants haue cattell:
5 Balobaki lisusu: « Soki tozwi ngolu na miso na yo, tika ete mokili oyo epesamela basali na yo lokola libula na biso mpe okatisa biso na ngambo ya Yordani te. »
Wherefore, said they, if we haue foud grace in thy sight, let this lande be giuen vnto thy seruants for a possession, and bring vs not ouer Iorde.
6 Moyize alobaki na bakitani ya Gadi mpe ya Ribeni: — Boni, bandeko na bino bakende na bitumba, bongo bino botikala awa?
And Moses said vnto the children of Gad, and to the children of Reuben, Shall your brethren goe to warre, and ye tary heere?
7 Mpo na nini bolingi lisusu kolembisa mitema ya bana ya Isalaele oyo bazali kokende na mokili oyo Yawe apesaki bango?
Wherefore now discourage ye the heart of the children of Israel, to goe ouer into the lande, which the Lord hath giuen them?
8 Oyo ezali penza makambo oyo batata na bino basalaki tango natindaki bango wuta na Kadeshi-Barinea mpo na kokende kononga mokili.
Thus did your fathers when I sent them from Kadesh-barnea to see the lande.
9 Sima na bango komata na lubwaku ya Eshikoli mpe komona mokili yango, balembisaki mitema ya bana ya Isalaele oyo balingaki kokota na mokili oyo Yawe apesaki bango.
For when they went vp euen vnto the riuer of Eshcol, and sawe the land: they discouraged the heart of the childre of Israel, that they woulde not goe into the lande, which the Lord had giuen them.
10 Na mokolo wana, kanda ya Yawe epelaki mpe alapaki ndayi oyo:
And the Lordes wrath was kindled the same day, and he did sweare, saying,
11 « Lokola batosaki Ngai te na motema mobimba, moko te kati na bato oyo bazali na mibu tuku mibale mpe komata, ba-oyo babimaki na Ejipito, akomona mokili oyo nalakaki, na nzela ya ndayi, epai ya Abrayami, Izaki mpe Jakobi
None of the men that came out of Egypt from twentie yeere olde and aboue, shall see the land for the which I sware vnto Abraham, to Izhak, and to Iaakob, because they haue not wholly followed me:
12 longola kaka Kalebi, mwana mobali ya Yefune, moto ya libota ya Kenizi, mpe Jozue, mwana mobali ya Nuni, pamba te batosaki Ngai Yawe na mitema na bango mobimba. »
Except Caleb the sonne of Iephunneh the Kenesite, and Ioshua the sonne of Nun: for they haue constantly followed the Lord.
13 Yawe atombokelaki Isalaele mpe asalaki ete bayengayenga na esobe mibu tuku minei kino tango molongo nyonso ya bato oyo basalaki mabe na miso na Ye basilaki kokufa.
And the Lord was very angry with Israel, and made them wander in the wildernesse fourty yeeres, vntill all the generation that had done euill in the sight of the Lord were consumed.
14 Bino mpe bozali kaka ndenge moko, libota ya bato ya masumu, bozali kaka kosala makambo ndenge moko na batata na bino mpe bozali kopelisa lisusu koleka kanda ya Yawe likolo ya Isalaele.
And behold, ye are risen vp in your fathers steade as an encrease of sinfull men, still to augment the fierce wrath of the Lord, toward Israel.
15 Soki boboyi kolanda nzela na Ye, akotika lisusu bato oyo nyonso na esobe mpe bato oyo bakobebisama likolo na bino.
For if ye turne away from following him, he will yet againe leaue the people in the wildernesse, and ye shall destroy all this folke.
16 Babelemaki pene na Moyize mpe balobaki: — Te, tolingi nde kotonga mapango mpo na bibwele na biso mpe bingumba mpo na basi mpe bana na biso awa.
And they went neere to him, and said, We will builde sheepe foldes here for our sheepe, and for our cattell, and cities for our children.
17 Kasi tozali kolata na lombangu bibundeli na biso mpe kokende na liboso ya bana ya Isalaele kino tango tokokomisa bango na esika na bango. Bongo, na tango yango, basi mpe bana na biso bakotikala awa, kati na bingumba batonga makasi, mpo na komibatela liboso ya bavandi ya mokili oyo.
But we our selues will be readie armed to go before the children of Israel, vntill we haue brought them vnto their place: but our childre shall dwell in the defenced cities, because of the inhabitants of the lande.
18 Tokotikala kozonga na bandako na biso te soki moto moko na moko ya Isalaele azwi libula na ye te;
We will not returne vnto our houses, vntil the children of Israel haue inherited, euery man his inheritance.
19 mpe tokotikala kozwa libula moko te elongo na bango na ngambo mosusu ya Yordani, pamba te libula oyo esengeli kopesamela biso ezali na ngambo ya este ya Yordani.
Neither wil we inherite with them beyond Iorden and on that side, because our inheritance is fallen to vs on this side Iorden Eastwarde.
20 Moyize alobaki na bango: — Soki bosali bongo, soki bolati bibundeli mpo na kokende na bitumba liboso ya Yawe,
And Moses saide vnto them, If ye will doe this thing, and goe armed before the Lord to warre:
21 mpe soki bino nyonso oyo bosimbi bibundeli bokeyi na ngambo mosusu ya Yordani liboso ya Yawe, kino abengana banguna na Ye
And will goe euery one of you in harnesse ouer Iorden before the Lord, vntill he hath cast out his enemies from his sight:
22 mpe mokili ekoma na se ya bokonzi ya Yawe, nde bokoki kozonga. Ezali na nzela wana nde bokolongwa na ngambo na miso ya Yawe mpe na miso ya bana ya Isalaele, mpe mokili oyo ekokoma libula na bino na miso ya Yawe.
And vntill the land be subdued before the Lord, then ye shall returne and be innocent toward the Lord, and toward Israel: and this land shalbe your possession before the Lord.
23 Kasi soki bosali bongo te, bokosala nde lisumu na miso ya Yawe mpe boyeba ete, lisumu na bino ekolanda bino.
But if ye will not doe so, beholde, ye haue sinned against the Lord, and be sure, that your sinne will finde you out.
24 Botonga bingumba makasi mpo na basi mpe bana na bino, botonga mapango mpo na bibwele na bino, kasi bokokisa mpe elaka oyo bopesi.
Builde you then cities for your children and folds for your sheepe, and do that ye haue spoke.
25 Bakitani ya Gadi mpe ya Ribeni balobaki na Moyize: — Basali na yo bakotosa mitindo ya nkolo na biso.
Then the children of Gad and the children of Reuben spake vnto Moses, saying, Thy seruats will doe as my lorde commandeth:
26 Bana mpe basi na biso elongo na banyama mpe bibwele na biso bakotikala awa, na bingumba ya Galadi.
Our childre, our wiues, our sheepe, and al our cattell shall remaine there in the cities of Gilead,
27 Kasi mpo na biso basali na yo, mobali nyonso akosimba bibundeli mpo na kokende na bitumba; tokokatisa na ngambo mpo na kobunda liboso ya Yawe ndenge kaka nkolo na biso asili koloba.
But thy seruants will goe euery one armed to warre before the Lord for to fight, as my lorde saith.
28 Boye, Moyize apesaki mitindo na tina na bango epai ya Nganga-Nzambe Eleazari, epai ya Jozue, mwana mobali ya Nuni, mpe epai ya bakambi ya mabota ya Isalaele.
So concerning them, Moses commanded Eleazar the Priest, and Ioshua the sonne of Nun, and the chiefe fathers of the tribes of the children of Israel:
29 Moyize alobaki na bango: — Soki bakitani ya Gadi mpe ya Ribeni, bango nyonso basimbi bibundeli mpo na kokende na bitumba, bakatisi ngambo ya Yordani elongo na bino liboso ya Yawe, mpe tango mokili ekokoma na se ya bokonzi na bino, bopesa bango mokili ya Galadi lokola libula na bango.
And Moses said vnto them, If the children of Gad, and the children of Reuben, will go with you ouer Iorden, all armed to fight before the Lord, then when the land is subdued before you, ye shall giue the the lad of Gilead for a possessio:
30 Kasi soki bakatisi elongo na bino te mpo na kokende na bitumba, bakozwa libula elongo na bino, na mokili ya Kanana.
But if they will not goe ouer with you armed, then they shall haue their possessions amog you in the land of Canaan.
31 Bakitani ya Gadi mpe ya Ribeni bazongisaki: — Basali na yo bakosala makambo oyo Yawe alobaki na biso.
And the children of Gad, and the children of Reuben answered, saying, As the Lord hath said vnto thy seruants, so will we doe.
32 Tokokatisa na ngambo mosusu liboso ya Yawe kino na mokili ya Kanana mpo na bitumba. Kasi mabele oyo biso tosengeli kozwa lokola libula ekozala na ngambo oyo ya Yordani.
We will goe armed before the Lord into the lande of Canaan: that the possession of our inheritance may be to vs on this side Iorden.
33 Boye, Moyize apesaki epai ya bakitani ya Gadi, ya Ribeni mpe ya ndambo ya libota ya Manase, mwana mobali ya Jozefi mokili ya Sikoni, mokonzi ya bato ya Amori mpe mokili ya Ogi, mokonzi ya Bashani: mokili mobimba elongo na bingumba na yango mpe mboka mike oyo ezingelaki yango.
So Moses gaue vnto them, euen to the children of Gad, and to the children of Reuben, and to halfe the tribe of Manasseh the sonne of Ioseph, the kingdome of Sihon King of the Amorites, and the kingdome of Og King of Bashan, the lande with the cities thereof and coastes, euen the cities of the countrey round about.
34 Bakitani ya Gadi batongaki bingumba oyo: Diboni, Ataroti, Aroeri;
Then the children of Gad built Dibon, and Ataroth, and Aroer,
35 Aroti-Shofani, Yaezeri, Yogibeka;

36 Beti-Nimira mpe Beti-Arani lokola bingumba ya makasi; mpe batongaki lisusu mapango mpo na bibwele na bango.
And Beth-nimrah, and Beth-haran, defenced cities: also sheepe foldes.

And Nebo, and Baal-meon, and turned their names, and Shibmah: and gaue other names vnto the cities which they built.
39 Bakitani ya Makiri, mwana mobali ya Manase bakendeki kino na Galadi, babotolaki yango mpe babenganaki bato ya Amori oyo bazalaki kovanda kuna.
And the children of Machir the sonne of Manasseh went to Gilead, and tooke it, and put out the Amorites that dwelt therein.
40 Boye, Moyize apesaki mokili ya Galadi epai ya bakitani ya Makiri, mwana mobali ya Manase, mpe bakomaki kovanda kuna.
Then Moses gaue Gilead vnto Machir the sonne of Manasseh, and he dwelt therein.
41 Yairi, moko kati na bakitani ya Manase, abotolaki bamboka na yango ya mike mpe abengaki yango Avoti Yairi.
And Iair the sonne of Manasseh went and tooke the small townes thereof, and called them Hauoth Iair.
