Numbers 14
1 And so, crying out, the entire crowd wept throughout that night.
Bato nyonso ya lisanga batombolaki mingongo na bango mpe bakomaki kolela makasi butu mobimba.
2 And all the sons of Israel were murmuring against Moses and Aaron, saying:
Bato nyonso ya Isalaele bakomaki koyimayima mpo na Moyize mpe Aron, mpe lisanga mobimba ekomaki koloba: « Ah, elingaki kozala malamu soki tomikufelaki na biso na Ejipito to na esobe!
3 “If only we had died in Egypt,” and, “If only we would perish in this vast wilderness,” and, “May the Lord not lead us into this land, lest we fall by the sword, and our wives, as well as our children, be led away as captives. Is it not better to return to Egypt?”
Boni, Yawe amemi biso na mokili oyo kaka mpo ete tokufa na mopanga? Boye basi mpe bana na biso bakokoma kaka bomengo ya bitumba. Ekozala malamu te mpo na biso ete tozonga na biso na Ejipito? »
4 And they said to one another, “Let us appoint our leader, and so return to Egypt.”
Boye bakomaki kolobana bango na bango: « Tosengeli kopona mokambi mosusu mpe kozonga na Ejipito. »
5 And when Moses and Aaron heard this, they fell prone on the ground in the sight of the multitude of the sons of Israel.
Moyize mpe Aron bakweyaki elongi kino na mabele liboso ya lisanga mobimba ya bana ya Isalaele oyo basanganaki kuna.
6 Yet truly, Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, who themselves had also viewed the land, tore their garments,
Jozue, mwana mobali ya Nuni, mpe Kalebi, mwana mobali ya Yefune, oyo bazalaki na molongo ya bato oyo bakendeki kononga mokili bapasolaki bilamba na bango
7 and they said to the entire multitude of the sons of Israel: “The land that we circled through is very good.
mpe balobaki na lisanga mobimba ya Isalaele: « Mokili oyo totambolaki kati na yango mpe tonongaki ezali malamu mingi penza.
8 If the Lord will be gracious to us, he will lead us into it, and he will give us the land flowing with milk and honey.
Soki tozwi ngolu na miso ya Yawe, akokamba biso kino na mokili yango, mokili oyo ezali kobimisa miliki mpe mafuta ya nzoyi, mpe akopesa biso yango.
9 Do not choose to be rebellious against the Lord. And do not fear the people of this land, for, like bread, so are we able to devour them. All protection has withdrawn from them. The Lord is with us. Do not be afraid.”
Kasi botombokela Yawe te mpe bobanga te bato oyo bazali na mokili yango, pamba te tokomela bango; kobatelama na bango elongwe kati na bango. Nzokande na ngambo na biso, Yawe azali elongo na biso. Bobanga bango te. »
10 And when the entire multitude cried out, and they wanted to crush them with stones, the glory of the Lord appeared, over the roof of the covenant, to all the sons of Israel.
Wana lisanga mobimba ya Isalaele ezalaki koloba ete baboma bango na mabanga, nkembo ya Yawe emonanaki na Ndako ya kapo ya Bokutani na miso ya bato nyonso ya Isalaele.
11 And the Lord said to Moses: “How long will this people disparage me? How long will they refuse to believe me, despite all the signs that I have wrought before them?
Yawe alobaki na Moyize: — Kino tango nini bato oyo bakotiola Ngai? Kino tango nini bakoboya penza kondimela Ngai, ezala mpo na bikamwa nyonso oyo nasali kati na bango?
12 Therefore, I will strike them with a pestilence, and so I will consume them. But you I will make the ruler over a great nation, and one which is mightier than this one.”
Nakokweyisa bango na nzela ya etumbu ya bokono oyo ebomaka mpo na kobebisa bango. Kasi yo, nakokomisa yo ekolo moko monene mpe ya nguya koleka bango.
13 And Moses said to the Lord: “But then the Egyptians, from whose midst you led out this people,
Moyize alobaki na Yawe: — Bato ya Ejipito bakoyoka yango! Nzokande ezali na nguya na Yo nde obimisaki bato oyo kati na bango.
14 and the inhabitants of this land, who have heard that you, O Lord, are among this people, and that you are seen face to face, and that your cloud protects them, and that you go before them with a column of cloud by day, and a column of fire by night,
Mpe bakoyebisa na bavandi ya mokili oyo makambo yango. Oh Yawe, basila koyoka wuta kala ete ozalaka elongo na bato oyo, ete Yo, oh Yawe, omimonisaki epai na bango miso na miso, ete lipata na Yo etelema likolo na bango, ete otambolaka liboso na bango kati na likonzi ya lipata, na moyi, mpe kati na likonzi ya moto, na butu.
15 may hear that you have killed so great a multitude, as if they were one man, and they may say:
Na bongo, soki obomi bato oyo nyonso na mbala moko, bikolo oyo eyokaki sango oyo mpo na Yo ekoloba:
16 ‘He was not able to lead the people into the land about which he had sworn. Therefore, he slew them in the wilderness.’
« Yawe azangaki penza makoki ya kokotisa bato oyo na mokili oyo alakaki, na nzela ya ndayi, ete akopesa bango yango, yango wana abomaki bango kati na esobe. »
17 Therefore, may the strength of the Lord be magnified, just as you swore, saying:
Sik’oyo, nabondeli Yo, tika ete makasi ya Nkolo emonisama na nguya na yango kolanda ndenge olobaki:
18 ‘The Lord is patient and full of mercy, taking away iniquity and wickedness, and forsaking no one who is harmless. He visits the sins of the fathers upon the sons, to the third and fourth generation.’
« Nazali Yawe oyo asilikaka noki te, atonda na bolingo, alimbisaka masumu mpe botomboki; kasi apesaka moto oyo asali mabe etumbu, apesaka bana etumbu mpo na masumu ya batata kino na molongo ya misato mpe ya minei. »
19 Forgive, I beg you, the sins of this people, according to the greatness of your mercy, just as you have been gracious to them in their journey from Egypt to this place.”
Nabondeli Yo, kolanda bolingo monene na Yo, limbisa masumu ya bato oyo ndenge kaka olimbisaki bango wuta babimaki na Ejipito kino sik’oyo.
20 And the Lord said: “I have forgiven them according to your word.
Yawe azongisaki: — Nalimbisi bango ndenge osengi.
21 Also, as I live, the entire world shall be filled with the glory of the Lord.
Kasi na Kombo na Ngai, mpe lokola mokili mobimba etondi na nkembo ya Yawe,
22 And yet, all the men who have seen my majesty, and the signs that I have wrought in Egypt and in the wilderness, and who have tested me ten times already, and yet have not obeyed my voice,
moko te kati na bato oyo bamonaki nkembo na Ngai mpe bikamwa oyo nasalaki kati na Ejipito mpe na esobe kasi baboyaki kotosa Ngai mpe bamekaki Ngai mbala zomi,
23 these shall not see the land, about which I swore to their fathers, neither shall any of those who detracted me gaze upon it.
moko te kati na bango akomona lisusu mokili oyo nalakaki na nzela na ndayi epai ya bakoko na bango, moko te kati na ba-oyo batiolaki Ngai akomona lisusu mokili yango.
24 My servant Caleb, who, being full of another spirit, has followed me, I will lead into this land, through which he has wandered, and his offspring shall possess it.
Kasi lokola Kalebi, mosali na Ngai, atambolisamaka na molimo mosusu mpe atamboli na bosembo na miso na Ngai, nakokotisa ye na mokili oyo asilaki kokende, mpe bakitani na ye bakokamata yango lokola libula.
25 For the Amalekites and the Canaanites live in the valleys. Tomorrow, move the camp and return into the wilderness, by the way of the Red Sea.”
Lokola bato ya Amaleki mpe ya Kanana bazali nanu kovanda na lubwaku, bino bokobaluka mpe bokozonga lobi na tongo na esobe, na nzela oyo ekenda na ebale monene ya Barozo.
26 And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying:
Yawe alobaki na Moyize mpe Aron:
27 “How long will this very wicked multitude murmur against me? I have heard the complaints of the sons of Israel.
— Kino penza tango nini lisanga oyo ya batomboki ekokoba kotelemela Ngai? Solo, nayoki bileli mpe koyimayima ya bana ya Isalaele na tina na Ngai.
28 Therefore, say to them: As I live, says the Lord, as you spoke in my hearing, so will I do to you.
Yebisa bango: « Nalapi ndayi, » elobi Yawe, « nakosalela bino makambo nyonso oyo nayoki bino koloba.
29 In the wilderness, here shall your carcasses lie. All you who were numbered from twenty years and above, and who have murmured against me,
Bibembe na bino ekolala na esobe oyo. Bino nyonso oyo bozali na mibu tuku mibale mpe koleka, bino oyo botangamaki na motango mpe boyimaki-yimaki mpo na Ngai,
30 you shall not enter into the land, over which I lifted up my hand to cause you to live there, except Caleb the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua the son of Nun.
bokokota te na mokili oyo nalakaki na nzela ya ndayi, na kotombola loboko, ete nakokomisa yango mokili na bino, longola kaka Kalebi, mwana mobali ya Yefune, mpe Jozue, mwana mobali ya Nuni.
31 But your little ones, about whom you said that they would be a prey to the enemies, I will lead them in, so that they may see the land that has displeased you.
Kasi nakomema bana na bino oyo na tina na bango bolobaki ete bakozwa bango lokola bomengo ya bitumba, mpe nakokotisa bango na esengo kati na mokili yango oyo botiolaki.
32 Your carcasses shall lie in the wilderness.
Nzokande bino, bibembe na bino ekolala na esobe oyo.
33 Your sons shall wander in the desert for forty years, and they shall bear your fornication, until the carcasses of their fathers are consumed in the desert.
Bana na bino bakokoma babateli bibwele awa na esobe mibu tuku minei. Lokola botamboli na bosembo te na miso na Ngai, bakomona pasi kino ebembe na bino ya suka elala na esobe.
34 According to the number of the forty days, during which you examined the land, one year shall be charged for each day. And so, for forty years you shall take back your iniquities, and you shall know my retribution.
Lokola bosalaki mikolo tuku minei mpo na kononga mokili, bokomona pasi mibu tuku minei mpo na masumu na bino: mobu moko mpo na mokolo moko. Na bongo bokoyeba mbano oyo ezali kati na likambo ya kotelemela Ngai.
35 For just as I have spoken, so shall I do, to this entire most wicked multitude, which has risen up together against me. In the wilderness, here shall it fade away and die.”
Ngai Yawe nde nalobi; mpe nakosala solo makambo oyo epai ya lisanga oyo mobimba ya batomboki oyo basanganaki mpo na kotelemela Ngai. Bakomona suka na bango kati na esobe oyo; ezali awa nde bakokufa. »
36 Therefore, all the men, whom Moses had sent to contemplate the land, and who, having returned, had caused the entire multitude to murmur against him, disparaging the land as if it were evil,
Bato oyo Moyize atindaki mpo na kononga mokili mpe, na bozongi na bango, batindikaki lisanga mobimba na koyimayima na tina na ye wana bapanzaki sango mabe na tina na mokili;
37 suffered death and were struck down in the sight of the Lord.
bato oyo babimisaki maloba mabe na tina na mokili yango, bazwaki etumbu mpe bakufaki liboso ya Yawe.
38 But only Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh remained alive, out of all those who had journeyed to examine the land.
Kati na bato oyo bakendeki kononga mokili, kaka Jozue, mwana mobali ya Nuni, mpe Kalebi, mwana mobali ya Yefune, nde babikaki.
39 And Moses spoke all these words to all the sons of Israel, and the people mourned exceedingly.
Tango Moyize ayebisaki makambo oyo epai ya bato nyonso ya Isalaele, balelaki makasi.
40 And behold, rising up at first light, they climbed to the top of the mountain, and they said, “We are prepared to ascend to the place, about which the Lord has spoken, for we have sinned.”
Na tongo-tongo ya mokolo oyo elandaki, bamataki na songe ya ngomba kati na etuka ya bangomba mpe balobaki: — Solo, tosalaki masumu; kasi sik’oyo, tozali kokende kuna, na esika oyo Yawe alakaki biso.
41 And Moses said to them: “Why do you transgress the word of the Lord, merely because it will not result in prosperity for you?
Kasi Moyize alobaki: — Mpo na nini bozali koboya kotosa mitindo ya Yawe? Likambo oyo ekolonga te!
42 Do not ascend, for the Lord is not with you, lest you be overthrown before your enemies.
Bokende te, pamba te Yawe azali elongo na bino te; banguna na bino bakolonga bino.
43 The Amalekite and the Canaanite are before you, by whose sword you shall be ruined, for you were not willing to consent to the Lord, and so the Lord is not with you.”
Bato ya Amaleki mpe ya Kanana bakokutana na bino kuna. Bongo lokola bopesaki Yawe mokongo, bokokweya na mopanga mpo ete akozala elongo na bino te.
44 But they, having been darkened, ascended to the top of the mountain. But the ark of the testament of the Lord, and Moses, did not withdraw from the camp.
Na lolendo na bango, bakendeki kaka na songe ya ngomba kati na etuka ya bangomba; kasi Moyize alongwaki te na molako, ndenge moko mpe mpo na Sanduku ya Boyokani ya Yawe.
45 And the Amalekites descended, along with those Canaanites who were living in the mountains. And so, striking and cutting them down, they pursued them all the way to Hormah.
Boye, bato ya Amaleki mpe ya Kanana oyo bazalaki kovanda na bangomba yango bakitelaki bango, babundisaki bango, balongaki bango mpe balandaki bango kino na Orima.
