Exodus 19
1 In the third month, on the same day of the month that the Israelites had left the land of Egypt, they came to the Wilderness of Sinai.
Sanza misato sima na bana ya Isalaele kobima na Ejipito, kaka na mokolo yango, bana ya Isalaele bakomaki na esobe ya Sinai.
2 After they had set out from Rephidim, they entered the Wilderness of Sinai, and Israel camped there in front of the mountain.
Tango balongwaki na Refidimi, bakotaki na esobe ya Sinai, mpe Isalaele atongaki kuna kati na esobe molako etalana na ngomba.
3 Then Moses went up to God, and the LORD called to him from the mountain, “This is what you are to tell the house of Jacob and explain to the sons of Israel:
Moyize amataki na ngomba mpo na kosolola na Nzambe; mpe wuta na likolo ya ngomba, Yawe abengaki ye mpe alobaki na ye: — Tala makambo oyo okoyebisa bakitani ya Jakobi mpe oyo okotalisa na bana ya Isalaele:
4 ‘You have seen for yourselves what I did to Egypt, and how I carried you on eagles’ wings and brought you to Myself.
« Bomonaki bino moko ndenge nini nasalaki bato ya Ejipito mpe ndenge nini namemaki bino lokola na mapapu ya mpongo kino epai na Ngai.
5 Now if you will indeed obey My voice and keep My covenant, you will be My treasured possession out of all the nations—for the whole earth is Mine.
Soki botosi Ngai penza mpe bobateli boyokani na Ngai, bokozala mpo na Ngai ekolo ya motuya kati na bikolo nyonso. Atako mokili mobimba ezali ya Ngai,
6 And unto Me you shall be a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.’ These are the words that you are to speak to the Israelites.”
kasi bino bokozala mpo na Ngai ekolo oyo ekosala mosala ya bonganga-Nzambe, ekolo ya bule. » Oyo nde maloba okoyebisa bana ya Isalaele.
7 So Moses went back and summoned the elders of the people and set before them all these words that the LORD had commanded him.
Moyize azongaki, abengisaki bakambi ya Isalaele mpe ayebisaki bango maloba nyonso oyo Yawe atindaki ye koloba.
8 And all the people answered together, “We will do everything that the LORD has spoken.” So Moses brought their words back to the LORD.
Bato nyonso bazongisaki lokola moto moko: — Tokosala nyonso oyo Yawe alobi. Bongo Moyize amemaki eyano na bango epai na Yawe.
9 The LORD said to Moses, “Behold, I will come to you in a dense cloud, so that the people will hear when I speak with you, and they will always put their trust in you.” And Moses relayed to the LORD what the people had said.
Yawe alobaki na Moyize: — Nazali koya epai na yo kati na lipata monene, mpo ete bana ya Isalaele bayoka tango nakosolola na yo mpe mpo ete batia tango nyonso elikya na bango epai na yo. Moyize ayebisaki Yawe makambo nyonso oyo bana ya Isalaele balobaki.
10 Then the LORD said to Moses, “Go to the people and consecrate them today and tomorrow. They must wash their clothes
Yawe alobaki na Moyize: — Kende epai ya bato, bulisa bango lelo mpe lobi, bongo yebisa bango ete basukola bilamba na bango;
11 and be prepared by the third day, for on the third day the LORD will come down on Mount Sinai in the sight of all the people.
bamibongisa mpo na mokolo ya misato, pamba te na mokolo wana nde Ngai Yawe, nakokita na likolo ya ngomba Sinai, na miso ya bana nyonso ya Isalaele.
12 And you are to set up a boundary for the people around the mountain and tell them, ‘Be careful not to go up on the mountain or touch its base. Whoever touches the mountain shall surely be put to death.
Okotia bandelo zingazinga ya ngomba mpo na bato mpe okoyebisa bango: « Bosala keba ete bomata te na ngomba oyo mpe bopusana te pembeni na yango. Moto nyonso oyo akotuta yango akokufa penza.
13 No hand shall touch him, but he shall surely be stoned or shot with arrows—whether man or beast, he must not live.’ Only when the ram’s horn sounds a long blast may they approach the mountain.”
Soki moto moko abuki mobeko oyo, bakosimba ye te, kasi bakoboma ye na mabanga to bakotobola ye likonga; ezala moto to nyama, asengeli kokufa. Kaka soki lokito ya liseke ya meme eyokani makasi nde ndambo ya bato bakomata na ngomba. »
14 When Moses came down from the mountain to the people, he consecrated them, and they washed their clothes.
Moyize alongwaki na ngomba, akendeki epai ya bana ya Isalaele, abulisaki bango, mpe basukolaki bilamba na bango.
15 “Be prepared for the third day,” he said to the people. “Do not draw near to a woman.”
Moyize alobaki na bango: — Bomilengela mpo na mokolo ya misato, bosangisa nzoto te na basi na bino.
16 On the third day, when morning came, there was thunder and lightning. A thick cloud was upon the mountain, and a very loud blast of the ram’s horn went out, so that all the people in the camp trembled.
Na tongo ya mokolo ya misato, bakake ebetaki, mikalikali ezalaki kongenga, mpe lipata monene ezipaki ngomba; bongo bato bayokaki bakelelo kobeta makasi. Bato nyonso kati na molako balengaki.
17 Then Moses brought the people out of the camp to meet with God, and they stood at the foot of the mountain.
Moyize abimisaki bato mpo ete bakende kokutana na Nzambe, na libanda ya molako. Mpe bato batelemaki na ebandeli ya ngomba.
18 Mount Sinai was completely enveloped in smoke, because the LORD had descended on it in fire. And the smoke rose like the smoke of a furnace, and the whole mountain quaked violently.
Milinga ezipaki ngomba Sinai mpo ete Yawe akitaki na likolo na yango na lolenge ya moto, bongo milinga yango ezalaki komata lokola milinga oyo ebimaka na fulu ya moto. Mpe ngomba nyonso eninganaki makasi.
19 And as the sound of the ram’s horn grew louder and louder, Moses spoke and God answered him in the thunder.
Mongongo ya kelelo ezalaki kaka komata se komata. Boye Moyize abandaki koloba na Nzambe, mpe Nzambe azalaki koyanola ye na lokito ya kake.
20 The LORD descended to the top of Mount Sinai and called Moses to the summit. So Moses went up,
Yawe akitaki na likolo ya ngomba Sinai mpe abengaki Moyize mpo ete amata na songe ya ngomba yango. Boye Moyize amataki.
21 and the LORD said to him, “Go down and warn the people not to break through to see the LORD, lest many of them perish.
Yawe alobaki na Moyize: — Kita mpe kebisa bato ete baleka bandelo te mpo na koluka komona Ngai Yawe, noki te mingi kati na bango bakokufa.
22 Even the priests who approach the LORD must consecrate themselves, or the LORD will break out against them.”
Ezala Banganga-Nzambe oyo basengeli kopusana pene na Ngai, basengeli komibulisa; noki te Ngai Yawe, nakoboma bango.
23 But Moses said to the LORD, “The people cannot come up Mount Sinai, for You solemnly warned us, ‘Put a boundary around the mountain and set it apart as holy.’”
Moyize alobaki na Yawe: — Bato ya Isalaele bakoki te komata na ngomba Sinai, pamba te Yo moko oyebisaki biso ete totia bandelo zingazinga ya ngomba mpe tomona yango lokola bule.
24 And the LORD replied, “Go down and bring Aaron with you. But the priests and the people must not break through to come up to the LORD, or He will break out against them.”
Yawe azongiselaki ye: — Kita lisusu; bongo omata elongo na Aron. Kasi mpo na Banganga-Nzambe mpe bana ya Isalaele, tika ete bawelela komata te epai na Ngai Yawe, noki te nakoboma bango.
25 So Moses went down to the people and spoke to them.
Moyize akitaki, akendeki epai ya bana ya Isalaele mpe ayebisaki bango makambo oyo Yawe alobaki.
