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.
And much cattle hath been to the sons of Reuben and to the sons of Gad, very many; and they see the land of Jazer, and the land of Gilead, and lo, the place [is] a place [for] cattle;
2 Bongo bakitani ya Ribeni mpe ya Gadi bayaki koloba na Moyize, na Nganga-Nzambe Eleazari mpe na bakambi ya lisanga:
and the sons of Gad, and the sons of Reuben, come in and speak unto Moses, and unto Eleazar the priest, and unto the princes of the company, saying:
3 « Bingumba ya Ataroti, ya Diboni, ya Yaezeri, ya Nimira, ya Eshiboni, ya Eleale, ya Sebami, ya Nebo mpe ya Beoni;
'Ataroth, and Dibon, and Jazer, 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. »
the land which Jehovah hath smitten before the company of Israel, is a land for cattle, and thy servants have cattle.'
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. »
And they say, 'If we have found grace in thine eyes, let this land be given to thy servants for a possession; cause us not to pass over the Jordan.'
6 Moyize alobaki na bakitani ya Gadi mpe ya Ribeni: — Boni, bandeko na bino bakende na bitumba, bongo bino botikala awa?
And Moses saith to the sons of Gad and to the sons of Reuben, 'Do your brethren go in to the battle, and ye — do ye sit here?
7 Mpo na nini bolingi lisusu kolembisa mitema ya bana ya Isalaele oyo bazali kokende na mokili oyo Yawe apesaki bango?
and why discourage ye the heart of the sons of Israel from passing over unto the land which Jehovah hath given to 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 in my sending them from Kadesh-Barnea to see the land;
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.
and they go up unto the valley of Eshcol, and see the land, and discourage the heart of the sons of Israel so as not to go in unto the land which Jehovah hath given to them;
10 Na mokolo wana, kanda ya Yawe epelaki mpe alapaki ndayi oyo:
and the anger of Jehovah burneth in that day, and He sweareth, 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
They do not see — the men who are coming up out of Egypt from a son of twenty years and upward — the ground which I have sworn to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, for they have not been fully after 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. »
save Caleb son of Jephunneh the Kenezite, and Joshua son of Nun, for they have been fully after Jehovah;
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 anger of Jehovah burneth against Israel, and He causeth them to wander in the wilderness forty years, until the consumption of all the generation which is doing the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah.
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 lo, ye have risen in the stead of your fathers, an increase of men — sinners, to add yet to the fury of the anger of Jehovah toward Israel;
15 Soki boboyi kolanda nzela na Ye, akotika lisusu bato oyo nyonso na esobe mpe bato oyo bakobebisama likolo na bino.
when ye turn back from after Him, then He hath added yet to leave him in the wilderness, and ye have done corruptly to all this people.'
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 come nigh unto him, and say, 'Folds for the flock we build for our cattle here, and cities for our infants;
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.
and we — we are armed hasting before the sons of Israel till that we have brought them in unto their place; and our infants have dwelt in the cities of defence because of the inhabitants of the land;
18 Tokotikala kozonga na bandako na biso te soki moto moko na moko ya Isalaele azwi libula na ye te;
we do not turn back unto our houses till the sons of Israel have inherited each 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.
for we do not inherit with them beyond the Jordan and yonder, for our inheritance hath come unto us beyond the Jordan at the [sun] -rising.'
20 Moyize alobaki na bango: — Soki bosali bongo, soki bolati bibundeli mpo na kokende na bitumba liboso ya Yawe,
And Moses saith unto them, 'If ye do this thing: if ye are armed before Jehovah for battle,
21 mpe soki bino nyonso oyo bosimbi bibundeli bokeyi na ngambo mosusu ya Yordani liboso ya Yawe, kino abengana banguna na Ye
and every armed one of you hath passed over the Jordan before Jehovah, till his dispossessing His enemies from before Him,
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 the land hath been subdued before Jehovah — then afterwards ye do turn back, and have been acquitted by Jehovah, and by Israel; and this land hath been to you for a possession before Jehovah.
23 Kasi soki bosali bongo te, bokosala nde lisumu na miso ya Yawe mpe boyeba ete, lisumu na bino ekolanda bino.
'And if ye do not so, lo, ye have sinned against Jehovah, and know ye your sin, that it doth find you;
24 Botonga bingumba makasi mpo na basi mpe bana na bino, botonga mapango mpo na bibwele na bino, kasi bokokisa mpe elaka oyo bopesi.
build for yourselves cities for your infants, and folds for your flock, and that which is going out from your mouth do ye.'
25 Bakitani ya Gadi mpe ya Ribeni balobaki na Moyize: — Basali na yo bakotosa mitindo ya nkolo na biso.
And the sons of Gad and the sons of Reuben speak unto Moses, saying, 'Thy servants do as my lord is commanding;
26 Bana mpe basi na biso elongo na banyama mpe bibwele na biso bakotikala awa, na bingumba ya Galadi.
our infants, our wives, our cattle, and all our beasts, are there in 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.
and thy servants pass over, every armed one of the host, before Jehovah, to battle, as my lord is saying.'
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.
And Moses commandeth concerning them Eleazar the priest, and Joshua son of Nun, and the heads of the fathers of the tribes of the sons 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 saith unto them, 'If the sons of Gad and the sons of Reuben pass over with you the Jordan, every one armed for battle, before Jehovah, and the land hath been subdued before you, then ye have given to them the land of Gilead for a possession;
30 Kasi soki bakatisi elongo na bino te mpo na kokende na bitumba, bakozwa libula elongo na bino, na mokili ya Kanana.
and if they do not pass over armed with you, then they have possessions in your midst 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 sons of Gad and the sons of Reuben answer, saying, 'That which Jehovah hath spoken unto thy servants — so we do;
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 — we pass over armed before Jehovah [to] the land of Canaan, and with us [is] the possession of our inheritance beyond the Jordan.'
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.
And Moses giveth to them, to the sons of Gad, and to the sons of Reuben, and to the half of the tribe of Manasseh son of Joseph, the kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorite, and the kingdom of Og king of Bashan, the land by its cities, in the borders, the cities of the land round about.
34 Bakitani ya Gadi batongaki bingumba oyo: Diboni, Ataroti, Aroeri;
And the sons of Gad build Dihon, 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, cities of defence, and sheepfolds.
37 Bakitani ya libota ya Ribeni batongaki bingumba oyo: Eshiboni, Eleale mpe Kiriatayimi
And the sons of Reuben have build Heshbon, and Elealeh, and Kirjathaim,
38 elongo na Nebo mpe Bala-Meoni, kombo oyo babongola na Sibima. Bapesaki bakombo na bingumba oyo batongaki.
and Nebo, and Baal-Meon (changed in name), and Shibmah, and they call by [these] names the names of the cities which they have 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 sons of Machir son of Manasseh go to Gilead, and capture it, and dispossess the Amorite, who [is] in it;
40 Boye, Moyize apesaki mokili ya Galadi epai ya bakitani ya Makiri, mwana mobali ya Manase, mpe bakomaki kovanda kuna.
and Moses giveth Gilead to Machir son of Manasseh, and he dwelleth in it.
41 Yairi, moko kati na bakitani ya Manase, abotolaki bamboka na yango ya mike mpe abengaki yango Avoti Yairi.
And Jair son of Manasseh hath gone and captureth their towns, and calleth them 'Towns of Jair;'
