1 Yawe alobaki na Moyize kati na esobe ya Sinai, na sanza ya liboso ya mobu oyo ya mibale sima na kobima na bango na Ejipito. Alobaki na ye:
And Yahweh spake unto Moses in the desert of Sinai, in the second year by their coming forth out of the land of Egypt in the first month, saying:
2 « Tika ete bana ya Isalaele basepela feti ya Pasika na mokolo oyo ekatama.
Let the sons of Israel therefore, keep the passover in its appointed season:
3 Bosala feti yango na tango oyo ekatama, na pokwa ya mokolo ya zomi na minei, ya sanza oyo, kolanda mibeko mpe malako na yango nyonso. »
on the fourteenth day of this month between the two evenings, shall ye keep it, in its appointed season, —according to all the statute thereof and according to all the regulations thereof, shall ye keep it.
4 Boye, Moyize ayebisaki bana ya Isalaele ete basepelaka feti ya Pasika.
Then spake Moses unto the sons of Israel that they should keep the passover.
5 Basepelaki Pasika kati na esobe ya Sinai, na pokwa ya mokolo ya zomi na minei, ya sanza ya liboso. Bana ya Isalaele basalaki makambo nyonso ndenge kaka Yawe apesaki mitindo na nzela ya Moyize.
So they kept the passover in the first [month], on the fourteenth day of the month between the two evenings, in the desert of Sinai, —according to all that Yahweh commanded Moses, so, did the sons of Israel.
6 Kasi bato mosusu kati na bango basepelaki Pasika te na mokolo wana, pamba te bazalaki mbindo mpo ete basimbaki ebembe. Boye, kaka na mokolo wana, bakendeki komona Moyize na Aron
But so it was that there were, certain men who had become unclean by a dead person, and could not keep the passover on that day, —therefore came they near before Moses and before Aaron on that day.
7 mpe bayebisaki Moyize: — Tokomi mbindo mpo ete tosimbaki ebembe. Boye, mpo na nini te biso mpe tomema likabo na biso epai na Yawe elongo na bato mosusu ya Isalaele?
Then said those men unto him, We, are unclean by a dead person, —wherefore should we become of less esteem for want of offering the oblation of Yahweh in its appointed season, in the midst of the sons of Israel?
8 Moyize azongiselaki bango: — Bozela nanu ete naluka koyeba makambo oyo Yawe atindi na tina na bino.
And Moses said unto them, —Stay, and let me hear, what Yahweh shall command concerning you!
9 Boye Yawe alobaki na Moyize:
Then spake Yahweh unto Moses, saying:
10 — Yebisa bana ya Isalaele: « Soki moko kati na bino to kati na bakitani na bino akomi mbindo mpo ete asimbi ebembe na mokolo wana, ezala soki azali mosika na mobembo, akoki kosepela feti ya Pasika mpo na lokumu na Yawe.
Speak unto the sons of Israel, saying, —Though, any man, be unclean by a dead person or be on a journey afar off, whether in the case of yourselves or of your generations, yet shall he keep a passover unto Yahweh.
11 Basengeli kosepela yango na pokwa ya mokolo ya zomi na minei ya sanza ya mibale; bakolia mwana meme elongo na mapa ezanga levire mpe matiti ya bololo.
In the second month, on the fourteenth day between the two evenings, shall they keep it, —with unleavened cakes and bitter herbs, shall they eat it.
12 Bakotika eloko moko te kino na tongo mpe bakobuka mokuwa ata moko te. Basengeli kolanda mibeko na yango nyonso na tango ya kosepela feti ya Pasika.
They shall not leave thereof until morning, and no bone, shall they break therein—according to all the statutes of the passover, shall they keep it.
13 Kasi soki moto moko asepeli feti ya Pasika te, wana azali mbindo te mpe asali mobembo te, basengeli kolongola ye kati na libota na ye, pamba te abonzeli Yawe likabo te na tango oyo ekatama; akomema mikumba ya masumu na ye.
But as for the man who is, clean, and no a journey, doth not chance to be and yet faileth to keep the passover, that person shall he cut off from among his kinsfolk, —for the oblation of Yahweh, hath he not offered in its appointed season, his own sin, shall, that man, bear.
14 Soki mpe mopaya oyo avandi kati na bino alingi kosepela Pasika ya Yawe, asengeli kosala kaka bongo, asengeli kolanda mibeko mpe malako na yango. Ezala mpo na bapaya to mpo na bana mboka, bosengeli kozala na mibeko ya losambo ya ndenge moko. »
When moreover there may sojourn with you a sojourner, who would keep a passover unto Yahweh, according to the statute of the passover, and according to the regulation thereof, so, must he keep [it], —one statute, shall there be for you, both for the sojourner and for the native of the land.
15 Na mokolo oyo batelemisaki Mongombo, lipata ezipaki Ndako ya kapo ya Litatoli. Wuta na pokwa kino na tongo, lipata oyo ezalaki likolo ya Mongombo ezalaki komonana lokola moto.
Now, on the day the habitation was reared, the cloud covered the habitation, even the tent of the testimony, —and in the evening, it was over the habitation, like an appearance of fire, until morning,
16 Mpe ekobaki kozala kaka ndenge wana: lipata ezalaki kozipa Mongombo; bongo na butu, ezalaki komonana lokola moto.
Thus, came it to pass continually, the cloud, covered it, —and an appearance of fire, by night;
17 Tango nyonso lipata ezalaki kolongwa na likolo ya Ndako ya kapo, bana ya Isalaele mpe bazalaki kokende; mpe esika nyonso oyo lipata ezalaki kotelema, esika wana nde bazalaki mpe kosala molako na bango.
but at the bidding of the upgoings of the cloud from off the tent, then, after that, the sons of Israel set forward, —and in the place where the cloud abode, there the sons of Israel encamped:
18 Ezalaki na mitindo na Yawe kaka nde bana ya Isalaele bazalaki kotambola mpe kosala molako na bango. Tango nyonso lipata ezalaki kowumela na likolo ya Mongombo, bango mpe bazalaki kowumela na molako.
at the bidding of Yahweh, the sons of Israel set forward, and at the bidding of Yahweh, they encamped, —all the days that the cloud abode upon the habitation, they remained encamped.
19 Soki lipata ewumeli tango molayi likolo ya Mongombo, bana ya Isalaele bazalaki kotosa mitindo na Yawe mpe bazalaki kokende te.
And when the cloud lengthened out its stay upon the habitation, many days, then would the sons of Israel keep the watch of Yahweh, and would not set forward.
20 Soki mpe lipata esali kaka mwa ndambo ya mikolo na likolo ya Mongombo, na mitindo na Yawe, bazalaki kowumela na molako na bango; mpe bazalaki kokende soki kaka Yawe apesi mitindo.
And, so it was, when the cloud would be a few days upon the habitation, at the bidding of Yahweh, they remained encamped, and at the bidding of Yahweh, they set forward.
21 Na mbala mosusu, lipata ezalaki kowumela butu moko kaka, wuta na pokwa kino na tongo; bongo tango ezalaki kolongwa na tongo na esika moko mpo na kokende na esika mosusu, bango mpe bazalaki kokende. To mpe ezalaki kosala mokolo moko mpe butu moko; mpe soki elongwe, bango mpe bazalaki kokende.
And, so it was, when the cloud would be from evening until morning, as soon as the cloud went up in the morning, so soon did they set forward: whether by day or by night, as soon as the cloud went up, so soon did they set forward.
22 Soki lipata etelemi na likolo ya Mongombo mikolo mibale to sanza moko to mpe mobu moko, bana ya Isalaele mpe bazalaki kaka kowumela na molako, bazalaki kokende te; kasi soki elongwe, bango mpe bazalaki kokende.
Whether for two days or a month or a year, the cloud lengthened out its stay upon the habitation abiding thereupon, the sons of Israel remained encamped and set not forward, —but at the upgoings thereof, they set forward.
23 Ezalaki kaka na mitindo na Yawe nde bazalaki kowumela na molako to kokende. Boye, bazalaki kosala mosala ya Yawe kolanda mitindo oyo Yawe apesaki na nzela ya Moyize.
At the bidding of Yahweh, they encamped, and at the bidding of Yahweh, they set forward, —the watch of Yahweh, they kept, at the bidding of Yahweh by the hand of Moses.
