Mitango 16
1 Molevi Kore, mwana mobali ya Yitseari, ya libota ya bato ya Keati, elongo na bato misato ya libota ya bato ya Ribeni basalelaki Moyize likita; ezalaki: Datani mpe Abirami, bana mibali ya Eliabi, elongo na Oni, mwana mobali ya Peleti.
Now Korah, the son of Izhar, the son of Kohath, the son of Levi, took Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, and On, the son of Peleth, son of Reuben,
2 Batombokelaki Moyize. Elongo na bango, ezalaki na bana ya Isalaele nkama mibale na tuku mitano oyo bayebanaki malamu lokola bakambi ya lisanga mpe bazalaki kosangana kati na mayangani ya bakambi ya lisanga.
and they rose up before Moses, with certain of the children of Israel, two hundred fifty leaders of the congregation, called to the assembly, men of renown;
3 Bayaki lisanga mpo na kotelemela Moyize mpe Aron. Balobaki na bango: — Bino mpe bolekisi! Lingomba mobimba ezali bule mpe moto nyonso kati na yango azali bule, mpe Yawe azali elongo na bango. Boye, mpo na nini bozali komitia likolo ya lisanga ya Yawe?
and they assembled themselves together against Moses and against Aaron, and said to them, "You take too much on yourself, since all the congregation are holy, everyone of them, and Jehovah is among them: why then lift yourselves up above the assembly of Jehovah?"
4 Tango Moyize ayokaki bongo, akweyaki elongi kino na mabele.
When Moses heard it, he fell on his face:
5 Alobaki na Kore mpe na bato na ye nyonso oyo balandaki ye: — Lobi na tongo, Yawe akolakisa nani azali moto na Ye mpe nani oyo azali bule, mpe akotika ye kopusana pene na Ye; akotika solo moponami na Ye kopusana pene na Ye.
and he spoke to Korah and to all his company, saying, "In the morning Jehovah will show who are his, and who is holy, and will bring him near to him. The one whom he has chosen he will bring near to him.
6 Yo, Kore, elongo na bato nyonso oyo bazali kolanda yo, bokosala likambo oyo: Bokamata bambabola oyo batumbelaka malasi
Do this: take censers, Korah, and all his company;
7 mpe, lobi, botia moto mpe malasi ya ansa kati na yango liboso ya Yawe. Moto oyo Yawe akopona, ye nde azali bule. Bino Balevi, bino mpe bolekisi!
and put fire in them, and put incense on them before Jehovah tomorrow: and it shall be that the man whom Jehovah chooses, he shall be holy. You have gone too far, you sons of Levi."
8 Moyize alobaki lisusu na Kore: — Bino Balevi, boyoka sik’oyo!
Moses said to Korah, "Hear now, you sons of Levi.
9 Ekoki na bino te ete Nzambe ya Isalaele atia bino pembeni kati na lisanga ya Isalaele mpe abenda bino pembeni na Ye mpo na kosala mosala na Mongombo ya Yawe mpe kotelema liboso ya lisanga mpo na kosalela bango?
Is it a small thing to you, that the God of Israel has separated you from the congregation of Israel, to bring you near to himself, to do the service of the tabernacle of Jehovah, and to stand before the congregation to minister to them;
10 Abendaki bino pembeni na Ye elongo na Balevi nyonso oyo bazali kolanda bino; kasi sik’oyo, bazali lisusu koluka kozwa bonganga-Nzambe!
and that he has brought you near, and all your brothers the sons of Levi with you? and do you seek the priesthood also?
11 Ezali Yawe nde bosalelaki likita, yo elongo na bato oyo bazali kolanda yo. Aron nde nani mpo ete bokoka koyimayima na tina na ye?
Therefore you and all your company are gathered together against God. And Aaron, what is he that you murmur against him?"
12 Mpe na sima, Moyize abengisaki Datani mpe Abirami, bana mibali ya Eliabi. Kasi bazongisaki: — Tokoya te!
Moses sent to call Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab; and they said, "We won't come up:
13 Ekoki kaka te mpo na yo kobimisa biso na mokili oyo ezali kobimisa miliki mpe mafuta ya nzoyi, mpo na koya kobomisa biso kati na esobe? Sik’oyo olingi lisusu kokoma mokonzi na biso?
is it a small thing that you have brought us up out of a land flowing with milk and honey, to kill us in the wilderness, but you must also make yourself a prince over us?
14 Te, okotisi biso kutu te na mokili oyo ezali kobimisa miliki mpe mafuta ya nzoyi to opesi biso ata libula moko te ya bilanga to ya bilanga ya vino. Boni, okanisi ete bato oyo bakufa miso? Te, tokoya te!
Moreover you haven't brought us into a land flowing with milk and honey, nor given us inheritance of fields and vineyards: will you put out the eyes of these men? We won't come up."
15 Moyize asilikaki makasi mpe alobaki na Yawe: — Kondima makabo na bango te. Nazwaki ata eloko moko te epai na bango, ezala ane; mpe nasalaki ata moto moko te mabe kati na bango.
Moses was very angry, and said to Jehovah, "Do not respect their offering: I have not taken one donkey from them, neither have I hurt one of them."
16 Moyize alobaki na Kore: — Lobi, yo mpe bato nyonso oyo bazali kolanda yo, bokotelema elongo na Aron liboso ya Yawe.
Moses said to Korah, "You and all your company go before Jehovah, you, and they, and Aaron, tomorrow:
17 Moko na moko akokamata mbabola na ye, oyo batumbelaka malasi, bongo akotia malasi ya ansa kati na yango mpe akomema yango liboso ya Yawe. Bambabola nyonso ekozala nkama mibale na tuku mitano; yo mpe elongo na Aron bokomema bambabola na bino.
and each man take his censer, and put incense on them, and each man bring before Jehovah his censer, two hundred fifty censers; you also, and Aaron, each his censer."
18 Moto na moto akamataki mbabola na ye, atiaki moto mpe malasi ya ansa kati na yango; bongo atelemaki esika moko na Moyize mpe Aron, na ekotelo ya Ndako ya kapo ya Bokutani.
They each took his censer, and put fire in them, and laid incense thereon, and stood at the door of the Tent of Meeting with Moses and Aaron.
19 Tango Kore asangisaki bato nyonso oyo bazalaki kolanda ye mpo na kotelemela Moyize mpe Aron, na ekotelo ya Ndako ya kapo ya Bokutani, nkembo ya Yawe ebimelaki lisanga mobimba,
Korah assembled all the congregation against them to the door of the Tent of Meeting: and the glory of Jehovah appeared to all the congregation.
20 mpe Yawe alobaki na Moyize mpe Aron:
Jehovah spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,
21 — Bokabwana na lisanga ya bato oyo mpo ete nalingi kosilisa bango kaka na mbala moko.
"Separate yourselves from among this congregation, that I may consume them in a moment."
22 Kasi Moyize mpe Aron bakweyaki bilongi kino na mabele mpe bagangaki: — Eh Nzambe ya milimo nyonso ya bato! Okosilikela lisanga mobimba likolo ya lisumu ya moto moko kaka?
They fell on their faces, and said, "God, the God of the spirits of all flesh, shall one man sin, and will you be angry with all the congregation?"
23 Bongo, Yawe alobaki na Moyize:
Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
24 — Loba na lisanga ete bakende mosika ya bandako ya kapo ya Kore, ya Datani mpe ya Abirami.
"Speak to the congregation, saying, 'Get away from around the tent of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram.'"
25 Moyize atelemaki mpe akendeki epai ya Datani mpe Abirami; mpe bakambi nyonso ya Isalaele balandaki ye.
Moses rose up and went to Dathan and Abiram; and the elders of Israel followed him.
26 Akebisaki lisanga mobimba: « Bozala mosika ya bandako ya kapo ya bato oyo ya mabe. Bosimba ata eloko moko te ya bango, noki te bokokufa likolo ya masumu na bango! »
He spoke to the congregation, saying, "Depart, please, from the tents of these wicked men, and touch nothing of theirs, lest you be consumed in all their sins."
27 Boye bakendeki mosika ya bandako ya kapo ya Kore, ya Datani mpe ya Abirami. Datani mpe Abirami elongo na basi, bana mpe bakoko na bango babimaki libanda mpe bakendeki kotelema liboso ya bikotelo ya bandako na bango ya kapo.
So they went away from the tent of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram, on every side: and Dathan and Abiram came out, and stood at the door of their tents, and their wives, and their sons, and their little ones.
28 Bongo Moyize alobaki: « Tala ndenge nini bokoyeba solo ete Yawe atindaki ngai kosala makambo oyo nyonso, kasi ezali makanisi ya motema na ngai moko te:
Moses said, "Hereby you shall know that Jehovah has sent me to do all these works; for they are not from my own mind.
29 Soki bato oyo bakufi kufa ya bato nyonso mpe bamoni makambo oyo bato nyonso bamonaka, wana nde Yawe atindaki ngai te!
If these men die the common death of all men, or if they be visited after the visitation of all men; then Jehovah hasn't sent me.
30 Kasi soki Yawe asali penza likambo moko ya sika, bongo mabele efungoli monoko na yango mpe emeli bango elongo na biloko na bango nyonso, mpe bakiti ya bomoi kati na mokili ya bakufi, wana nde bokoyeba solo ete bato oyo batiolaki Yawe. » (Sheol h7585)
But if Jehovah make a new thing, and the ground open its mouth, and swallow them up, with all that appertain to them, and they go down alive into Sheol; then you shall understand that these men have despised Jehovah." (Sheol h7585)
31 Tango kaka asilisaki koloba makambo oyo nyonso, mabele efungwamaki na se ya matambe ya Datani mpe Abirami;
It happened, as he made an end of speaking all these words, that the ground split apart that was under them;
32 efungolaki monoko na yango mpe emelaki bango elongo na mabota na bango, bato ya Kore nyonso elongo na bozwi na bango nyonso.
and the earth opened its mouth, and swallowed them up, and their households, and all the men who appertained to Korah, and all their goods.
33 Bakitaki ya bomoi kati na mokili ya bakufi elongo na biloko na bango nyonso, mabele ezipaki bango mpe bakufaki ndenge wana. Mpe balimwaki kati na lisanga. (Sheol h7585)
So they, and all that appertained to them, went down alive into Sheol: and the earth closed on them, and they perished from among the assembly. (Sheol h7585)
34 Bato nyonso ya Isalaele oyo bazalaki pembeni na bango bakimaki tango bayokaki bango koganga. Bazalaki komilobela: « Mabele ekomela biso mpe lokola! »
All Israel that were around them fled at their cry; for they said, "Lest the earth swallow us up."
35 Moto ewutaki epai na Yawe mpe etumbaki bato nkama mibale na tuku mitano oyo bazalaki kobonza malasi ya ansa.
Fire came forth from Jehovah, and devoured the two hundred fifty men who offered the incense.
36 Yawe alobaki na Moyize:
Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
37 « Loba na Eleazari, mwana mobali ya Nganga-Nzambe Aron, ete balongola bambabola oyo batumbelaka malasi na kati-kati ya moto, mpe bapanza makala ya moto mosika, pamba te bambabola wana ezali bule.
"Speak to Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest, that he take up the censers out of the burning, and scatter the fire yonder; for they are holy,
38 Tika ete bakamata bambabola yango, atako ezali ya bato oyo bakufaki likolo ya masumu na bango; mpe tika ete batuta yango na marto mpo ete ekoma papala mpe batia yango likolo ya etumbelo, pamba te bamemaki yango liboso ya Yawe mpe ekomaki bule. Tika ete yango ekoma elembo mpo na bana ya Isalaele. »
even the censers of these sinners against their own lives; and let them be made beaten plates for a covering of the altar: for they offered them before Jehovah; therefore they are holy; and they shall be a sign to the children of Israel."
39 Boye, Nganga-Nzambe Eleazari alokotaki bambabola nyonso ya bronze oyo bato oyo bazikaki na moto bamemaki, mpe atutaki yango na marto mpo na kotia yango likolo ya etumbelo;
Eleazar the priest took the bronze censers, which those who were burnt had offered; and they beat them out for a covering of the altar,
40 ndenge Yawe atindaki ye, na nzela ya Moyize. Yango ekozala lokola ekaniseli mpo na bana ya Isalaele ete moto moko te, moto oyo abulisama te, moto oyo azali mopaya liboso ya bakitani ya Aron, akoki koya kotumba malasi ya ansa liboso ya Yawe, noki te akokoma lokola Kore mpe bato oyo balandaki ye.
to be a memorial to the children of Israel, to the end that no stranger, who isn't of the descendants of Aaron, comes near to burn incense before Jehovah; that he not be as Korah, and as his company: as Jehovah spoke to him by Moses.
41 Mokolo oyo elandaki, lisanga mobimba ya bana ya Isalaele ekomaki koyimayima mpo na Moyize mpe Aron. Bazalaki koloba: « Bino bobomi bato na Yawe. »
But on the next day all the congregation of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron, saying, "You have killed Jehovah's people."
42 Kasi tango lisanga mobimba esanganaki mpo na kotelemela Moyize mpe Aron, babalukaki na ngambo ya Ndako ya kapo ya Bokutani, mpe mbala moko lipata ezipaki yango mpe nkembo na Yawe emonisamaki.
It happened, when the congregation was assembled against Moses and against Aaron, that they looked toward the Tent of Meeting: and look, the cloud covered it, and the glory of Jehovah appeared.
43 Boye, Moyize mpe Aron bakendeki liboso ya Ndako ya kapo ya Bokutani
Moses and Aaron came to the front of the Tent of Meeting.
44 mpe Yawe alobaki na Moyize:
Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
45 « Bokende mosika ya lisanga oyo mpo ete nasilisa bango kaka na mbala moko. » Mpe bakweyaki bilongi kino na mabele.
"Get away from among this congregation, that I may consume them in a moment." They fell on their faces.
46 Moyize alobaki na Aron: « Kamata mbabola na yo mpe tia malasi ya ansa kati na yango elongo na moto ya etumbelo. Bongo, kima mbangu kati na lisanga mpo na kosala mosala ya bolimbisi masumu mpo na bango, pamba te kanda makasi ebimi liboso ya Yawe, etumbu ezali koya. »
Moses said to Aaron, "Take your censer, and put fire from off the altar in it, and lay incense on it, and carry it quickly to the congregation, and make atonement for them; for wrath has gone out from Jehovah. The plague has begun."
47 Aron asalaki ndenge kaka Moyize alobaki, mpe akimaki mbangu na kati-kati ya lisanga. Nzokande, etumbu emibandelaki kosala mosala na yango na kati-kati ya bato, kasi Aron abonzaki malasi ya ansa mpe asalaki mosala ya bolimbisi masumu mpo na bango.
Aaron did as Moses said, and ran into the midst of the assembly; and look, the plague has begun among the people: and he put on the incense, and made atonement for the people.
48 Atelemaki na kati-kati ya bato oyo bazalaki na bomoi mpe oyo bazalaki ya kokufa mpe etumbu esilaki.
He stood between the dead and the living; and the plague was stayed.
49 Nzokande, bato nkoto zomi na minei na nkama sambo bakufaki na etumbu wana, bakisa oyo bakufaki likolo ya Kore.
Now those who died by the plague were fourteen thousand and seven hundred, besides those who died about the matter of Korah.
50 Bongo, Aron azongaki epai ya Moyize na ekotelo ya Ndako ya kapo ya Bokutani, pamba te etumbu esilaki.
Aaron returned to Moses to the door of the Tent of Meeting: and the plague was stayed.
