Mitango 31
1 Yawe alobaki na Moyize:
Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
2 « Zongisa mabe na mabe oyo bato ya Madiani basalaki bana ya Isalaele, mpe na sima, okokende kosangana na bakoko na yo na mokili ya bakufi. »
"Avenge the children of Israel for the Midianites. Afterward you shall be gathered to your people."
3 Boye Moyize alobaki na bato: « Tika ete mibali kati na bino balata bibundeli mpo na kokende kobundisa mokili ya Madiani mpe kozongisela bango mabe na mabe, na Kombo na Yawe.
Moses spoke to the people, saying, "Arm men from among you for the war, that they may go against Midian, to execute Jehovah's vengeance on Midian.
4 Libota moko na moko ya Isalaele ekotinda basoda nkoto moko na etumba. »
Of every tribe one thousand, throughout all the tribes of Israel, you shall send to the war."
5 Boye, baponaki bato nkoto moko mpo na libota moko na moko kati na mabota ya Isalaele. Bongo, bato nkoto zomi na mibale balataki bibundeli mpo na kokende na etumba.
So there were delivered, out of the thousands of Israel, a thousand of every tribe, twelve thousand armed for war.
6 Moyize atindaki bango na etumba bato nkoto moko ya libota moko na moko elongo na Nganga-Nzambe Pineasi, mwana mobali ya Eleazari oyo amemaki bisalelo ya Esika ya bule mpe bakelelo mpo na kopesa mbela.
Moses sent them, one thousand of every tribe, to the war, them and Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest, to the war, with the vessels of the sanctuary and the trumpets for the alarm in his hand.
7 Babundisaki Madiani ndenge Yawe atindaki na nzela ya Moyize mpe babomaki mibali nyonso.
They warred against Midian, as Jehovah commanded Moses; and they killed every male.
8 Kati na molongo ya bato oyo babomaki, ezalaki na bakonzi ya Madiani oyo: Evi, Rekemi, Tsuri, Wuri mpe Reba. Babomaki mpe lisusu Balami, mwana mobali ya Beori na mopanga.
They killed the kings of Midian with the rest of their slain: Evi, and Rekem, and Zur, and Hur, and Reba, the five kings of Midian: Balaam also the son of Beor they killed with the sword.
9 Bana ya Isalaele bakangaki basi mpe bana ya Madiani elongo na banyama, bibwele mpe bozwi na bango nyonso lokola bomengo ya bitumba.
The children of Israel took captive the women of Midian and their little ones; and all their livestock, and all their flocks, and all their goods, they took for a prey.
10 Batumbaki bingumba nyonso epai wapi bato ya Madiani bazalaki kovanda, na milako na bango nyonso.
All their cities in the places in which they lived, and all their encampments, they burnt with fire.
11 Bamemaki bomengo nyonso ya bitumba mpe biloko nyonso oyo babotolaki elongo na bato, banyama;
They took all the spoil, and all the prey, both of man and of animal.
12 mpe bamemaki bakangami, biloko babotolaki mpe bomengo ya bitumba epai ya Moyize, Nganga-Nzambe Eleazari, mpe lisanga ya Isalaele na molako na bango oyo ezalaki na bitando ya Moabi, na libongo ya Yordani, pene ya Jeriko.
They brought the captives, and the prey, and the spoil, to Moses, and to Eleazar the priest, and to the congregation of the children of Israel, to the camp at the plains of Moab, which are by the Jordan at Jericho.
13 Moyize, Nganga-Nzambe Eleazari mpe bakambi nyonso ya lisanga ya Isalaele bayaki koyamba bango na libanda ya molako.
Moses, and Eleazar the priest, and all the leaders of the congregation, went forth to meet them outside of the camp.
14 Moyize atombokelaki bakonzi oyo baponamaki mpo na kotambolisa mampinga, bakonzi ya nkoto ya basoda mpe ya nkama ya basoda, oyo bawutaki na bitumba.
Moses was angry with the officers of the army, the captains of thousands and the captains of hundreds, who came from the service of the war.
15 Moyize atunaki bango: « Boni, botiki basi nyonso na bomoi?
Moses said to them, "Have you saved all the women alive?
16 Ezalaki nde bango bato balandaki toli ya Balami mpe batindikaki bana ya Isalaele na kopesa Yawe mokongo, kati na makambo oyo esalemaki na Peori; mpe yango nde esalaki ete etumbu ekweya likolo ya bato na Yawe.
Look, these caused the children of Israel, through the counsel of Balaam, to commit trespass against Jehovah in the matter of Peor, and so the plague was among the congregation of Jehovah.
17 Sik’oyo, boboma mibali nyonso mpe basi nyonso oyo bayebi nzoto ya mibali;
Now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman who has known man by lying with him.
18 kasi bobatela na bomoi mpo na bino, basi nyonso oyo bayebi nanu nzoto ya mibali te.
But all the girls, who have not known man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves.
19 Moto nyonso kati na bino oyo abomaki moto to asimbaki ebembe, asengeli kozala libanda ya molako mikolo sambo. Boye, na mokolo ya misato mpe ya sambo, bosengeli komipetola, bino mpe bakangami na bino.
"Encamp outside of the camp seven days: whoever has killed any person, and whoever has touched any slain, purify yourselves on the third day and on the seventh day, you and your captives.
20 Bokopetola mpe lisusu bilamba nyonso mpe biloko nyonso oyo basala na baposo ya banyama, na suki ya bantaba to mpe na banzete. »
As to every garment, and all that is made of skin, and all work of goats' hair, and all things made of wood, you shall purify yourselves."
21 Nganga-Nzambe Eleazari alobaki na basoda oyo bakendeki na bitumba: « Botala bikateli ya mobeko oyo Yawe apesaki epai ya Moyize:
Eleazar the priest said to the men of war who went to the battle, "This is the statute of the law which Jehovah has commanded Moses:
22 ‹ Ezali kaka wolo, palata, bronze, motako, ete, mbodi
however the gold, and the silver, the bronze, the iron, the tin, and the lead,
23 mpe biloko nyonso oyo ezikaka na moto te nde bokolekisa na moto mpo na kopetola yango; bokopetola yango lisusu na mayi ya bopetolami. Kasi bokopetola na mayi biloko nyonso oyo ezikaka na moto.
everything that may withstand the fire, you shall make to go through the fire, and it shall be clean; nevertheless it shall be purified with the water for impurity: and all that doesn't withstand the fire you shall make to go through the water.
24 Na mokolo ya sambo, bokopetola bilamba na bino mpe bokokoma peto mpe na sima nde bokoki kozonga na molako. › »
You shall wash your clothes on the seventh day, and you shall be clean; and afterward you shall come into the camp."
25 Yawe alobaki na Moyize:
Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
26 « Yo, Moyize, mpe Nganga-Nzambe Eleazari, elongo na bakambi ya mabota ya lisanga ya Isalaele, botanga motango ya bato, ya banyama nyonso oyo bakangaki.
"Take the sum of the prey that was taken, both of man and of animal, you, and Eleazar the priest, and the heads of the ancestral houses of the congregation;
27 Kabola bomengo ya bitumba yango kati na basoda oyo bakendeki na bitumba mpe bato ya lisanga ya Isalaele oyo batikalaki.
and divide the prey into two parts: between the men skilled in war, who went out to battle, and all the congregation.
28 Na ndambo eteni oyo okopesa na basoda oyo bakendeki na bitumba, tia pembeni lokola mpako mpo na Yawe, moto moko kati na bato nkama mitano, ebwele moko kati na bibwele nkama mitano, ezala ya ngombe, ya ane, ya meme to ya bantaba.
Levy a tribute to Jehovah of the men of war who went out to battle: one soul of five hundred; of the persons, of the cattle, of the donkeys, and of the flocks.
29 Kamata mpako yango kati na ndambo ya eteni na bango mpe pesa yango epai ya Nganga-Nzambe Eleazari lokola eteni ya Yawe.
Take it of their half, and give it to Eleazar the priest, for Jehovah's wave offering.
30 Kamata kati na ndambo ya eteni ya bana ya Isalaele, moko kati na tuku mitano, ezala ya bato, ya ngombe, ya ane, ya meme, ya bantaba to ya bibwele mosusu mpe pesa yango epai ya Balevi oyo bazali na mokumba ya kobatela Mongombo na Yawe. »
Of the children of Israel's half, you shall take one drawn out of every fifty, of the persons, of the cattle, of the donkeys, and of the flocks, of all the livestock, and give them to the Levites, who perform the duty of the tabernacle of Jehovah."
31 Moyize mpe Nganga-Nzambe Eleazari basalaki ndenge Yawe atindaki Moyize.
Moses and Eleazar the priest did as Jehovah commanded Moses.
32 Bomengo ya bitumba oyo etikalaki na oyo basoda oyo bakendeki na bitumba babotolaki ezalaki: meme na bantaba nkoto nkama motoba na tuku sambo na mitano;
Now the prey, over and above the booty which the men of war took, was six hundred seventy-five thousand sheep,
33 ngombe nkoto tuku sambo na mibale;
and seventy-two thousand head of cattle,
34 ane nkoto tuku motoba na moko
and sixty-one thousand donkeys,
35 mpe basi oyo bayebi nanu nzoto ya mibali te nkoto tuku misato na mibale.
and thirty-two thousand persons in all, of the women who had not known man by lying with him.
36 Ndambo ya eteni ya bomengo ya bitumba oyo bato oyo bakendeki na bitumba bazwaki ezalaki: bameme mpe bantaba nkoto nkama misato na tuku misato na sambo na nkama mitano;
The half, which was the portion of those who went out to war, was in number three hundred thirty-seven thousand five hundred sheep:
37 mpe mpako mpo na Yawe ezalaki: bameme mpe bantaba nkama motoba na tuku sambo na mitano;
and Jehovah's tribute of the sheep was six hundred seventy-five.
38 bangombe nkoto tuku misato na motoba, mpe mpako mpo na Yawe ezalaki: bangombe tuku sambo na mibale;
The cattle were thirty-six thousand; of which Jehovah's tribute was seventy-two.
39 ba-ane nkoto tuku misato na nkama mitano, mpe mpako mpo na Yawe ezalaki: ba-ane tuku motoba na moko;
The donkeys were thirty thousand five hundred; of which Jehovah's tribute was sixty-one.
40 bato nkoto zomi na motoba, mpe mpako mpo na Yawe ezalaki: bato tuku misato na mibale.
The persons were sixteen thousand; of whom Jehovah's tribute was thirty-two persons.
41 Moyize apesaki mpako mpo na Yawe epai ya Nganga-Nzambe Eleazari ndenge Yawe atindaki ye.
Moses gave the tribute, which was Jehovah's wave offering, to Eleazar the priest, as Jehovah commanded Moses.
42 Boye, ndambo oyo epesamelaki bana ya Isalaele, oyo Moyize alongolaki na bomengo ya bato oyo bakendeki na bitumba,
Of the children of Israel's half, which Moses divided off from the men who warred
43 ndambo oyo epesamelaki lisanga ezalaki: meme elongo na bantaba nkoto nkama misato na tuku misato na sambo na nkama mitano;
(now the congregation's half was three hundred thirty-seven thousand five hundred sheep,
44 ngombe nkoto tuku misato na motoba;
and thirty-six thousand head of cattle,
45 ba-ane nkoto tuku misato na nkama mitano,
and thirty thousand five hundred donkeys,
46 mpe bato nkoto zomi na motoba.
and sixteen thousand persons),
47 Na ndambo oyo epesamelaki bana ya Isalaele, Moyize alongolaki moto moko kati na bato tuku mitano mpe nyama moko kati na banyama tuku mitano, ndenge Yawe atindaki ye mpe apesaki yango epai ya Balevi oyo bazalaki na mokumba ya kobatela Mongombo na Yawe.
even of the children of Israel's half, Moses took one drawn out of every fifty, both of man and of animal, and gave them to the Levites, who performed the duty of the tabernacle of Jehovah; as Jehovah commanded Moses.
48 Bongo, bakonzi ya mampinga, bakonzi ya bankoto ya basoda mpe ya bankama bayaki epai ya Moyize.
The officers who were over the thousands of the army, the captains of thousands, and the captains of hundreds, came near to Moses;
49 Balobaki na Moyize: « Basali na yo batangi motango ya basoda oyo bazali na se ya bokonzi na biso mpe ata moko te azangi.
and they said to Moses, "Your servants have taken the sum of the men of war who are under our command, and there lacks not one man of us.
50 Boye, tomemi epai na Yawe lokola makabo, biloko ya wolo oyo: biloko oyo balataka na maboko, bapete, bamedayi, biloko ya matoyi, basheneti oyo moko na moko na biso azwaki mpo na kosala mosala ya bolimbisi masumu liboso ya Yawe. »
We have brought Jehovah's offering, what every man has gotten, of jewels of gold, armlets, and bracelets, signet rings, earrings, and necklaces, to make atonement for our souls before Jehovah."
51 Moyize mpe Nganga-Nzambe Eleazari bazwaki na maboko na bango, biloko nyonso oyo basala na wolo.
Moses and Eleazar the priest took their gold, even all worked jewels.
52 Wolo nyonso oyo Moyize mpe Nganga-Nzambe Eleazari bazwaki lokola makabo mpo na Yawe, na maboko ya bakonzi ya bankoto mpe ya bankama, ezalaki bakilo nkama moko na tuku mwambe na minei.
All the gold of the wave offering that they offered up to Jehovah, of the captains of thousands, and of the captains of hundreds, was sixteen thousand seven hundred fifty shekels.
53 Soda na soda akamataki na makasi mpo na ye moko bomengo na ye ya bitumba.
(The men of war had taken booty, every man for himself.)
54 Moyize mpe Nganga-Nzambe Eleazari bazwaki wolo na maboko ya bakonzi ya nkoto ya basoda mpe ya nkama ya basoda mpe bamemaki yango kati na Ndako ya kapo ya Bokutani lokola ekaniseli mpo na bana ya Isalaele liboso ya Yawe.
Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold of the captains of thousands and of hundreds, and brought it into the Tent of Meeting, for a memorial for the children of Israel before Jehovah.
