Exodus 33
1 And Jehovah said to Moses, Depart, go up hence, thou and the people that thou hast brought up out of the land of Egypt, into the land that I swore unto Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, saying, Unto thy seed will I give it,
Yawe alobaki na Moyize: — Kende, longwa na esika oyo elongo na bato oyo obimisaki na Ejipito; kende na mokili oyo nalakaki na ndayi epai ya Abrayami, Izaki mpe Jakobi ete nakopesa yango epai na bana na yo.
2 (and I will send an angel before thee, and dispossess the Canaanite, the Amorite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite, )
Nakotinda anjelu liboso na yo, nakobengana bato ya Kanana ya Amori, ya Iti, ya Perizi, ya Evi mpe ya Yebusi.
3 into a land flowing with milk and honey; for I will not go up in the midst of thee, for thou art a stiff-necked people, — lest I consume thee on the way.
Bokende na mokili oyo ezali kobimisa miliki mpe mafuta ya nzoyi. Mpo na Ngai, nakotambola elongo na bino te, pamba te bozali batomboki, noki te nakosilisa koboma bino na nzela.
4 And when the people heard this evil word, they mourned; and no man put on his ornaments.
Tango bato bayokaki maloba oyo ya somo, balataki pili, mpe ata moto moko te alataki lisusu biloko ya monzele.
5 Now Jehovah had said to Moses, Say unto the children of Israel, Ye are a stiff-necked people: in one moment I will come up into the midst of thee and will consume thee. And now put off thine ornaments from thee, and I will know what I will do unto thee.
Bongo Yawe alobaki na Moyize: — Loba na bana ya Isalaele: « Bozali batomboki; soki natamboli elongo na bino ata mpo na tango moke, nakosilisa koboma bino. Bolongola biloko na bino ya monzele, mpe nakoyebisa bino makambo oyo nakosala bino. »
6 And the children of Israel stripped themselves of their ornaments at mount Horeb.
Bana ya Isalaele balongolaki biloko na bango ya monzele na ngomba Orebi.
7 And Moses took the tent, and pitched it outside the camp, far from the camp, and called it the Tent of meeting. And it came to pass [that] every one who sought Jehovah went out to the tent of meeting which was outside the camp.
Moyize azwaki ndako ya kapo mpe atelemisaki yango mwa mosika, na libanda ya molako, mpo na bolamu na bango; mpe abengaki yango Ndako ya kapo ya Bokutani. Moto nyonso oyo alingaki kokutana na Yawe, asengelaki kokende na Ndako ya kapo ya Bokutani, na libanda ya molako.
8 And it came to pass, when Moses went out to the tent, all the people rose up, and stood every man at the entrance of his tent, and they looked after Moses until he entered into the tent.
Mbala nyonso oyo Moyize azalaki kokende na Ndako ya kapo ya Bokutani, bato nyonso bazalaki kotelema: moko na moko azalaki kotelema na ekuke ya ndako na ye ya kapo mpo na kotala Moyize kino akokota na Ndako ya kapo ya Bokutani.
9 And it came to pass when Moses entered into the tent, the pillar of cloud descended, and stood at the entrance of the tent, and [Jehovah] talked with Moses.
Soki Moyize akoti na kati, likonzi ya lipata ezalaki kokita mpe kotelema na ekotelo ya Ndako ya kapo ya Bokutani; bongo Yawe azalaki kosolola na Moyize.
10 And all the people saw the pillar of cloud standing at the entrance of the tent; and all the people rose and worshipped, every man at the entrance of his tent.
Bato nyonso bazalaki komona likonzi ya lipata kotelema na ekotelo ya Ndako ya kapo ya Bokutani. Boye bazalaki kotelema mpe kofukamela Yawe, moko na moko na ekuke ya ndako na ye ya kapo.
11 And Jehovah spoke with Moses face to face, as a man speaks with his friend. And he returned to the camp; but his attendant, Joshua the son of Nun, a young man, departed not from within the tent.
Yawe azalaki kosolola na Moyize ndenge moto asololaka na moninga na ye. Wana Moyize azalaki kozonga na molako; Jozue, mwana mobali ya Nuni, elenge oyo azalaki kosunga ye, azalaki kotikala kati na ndako ya kapo.
12 And Moses said to Jehovah, Behold, thou sayest unto me, Bring up this people; but thou dost not let me know whom thou wilt send with me; and thou hast said, I know thee by name, and thou hast also found grace in mine eyes.
Moyize alobaki na Yawe: — Tala, ozali koloba na ngai ete nakamba bato oyo, kasi ozali koyebisa ngai te nani okotinda elongo na ngai. Nzokande Yo nde olobaki na ngai: « Nayebi yo na kombo na yo, » mpe lisusu: « Ozwi ngolu na miso na Ngai. »
13 And now, if indeed I have found grace in thine eyes, make me now to know thy way, that I may know thee, that I may find grace in thine eyes; and consider that this nation is thy people!
Sik’oyo, soki penza nazwi ngolu na miso na Yo, teya ngai banzela na Yo mpo ete nayeba Yo mpe nazwa ngolu na miso na Yo. Mpe kanisa lisusu ete libota wana bazali bato na Yo.
14 And he said, My presence shall go, and I will give thee rest.
Yawe azongisaki: — Ngai moko nakotambola elongo na yo mpe nakopesa yo bopemi.
15 And he said to him, If thy presence do not go, bring us not up hence.
Moyize azongisaki: — Soki Yo moko okotambola elongo na biso te, kolongola biso te na esika oyo.
16 And how shall it be known then that I have found grace in thine eyes — I and thy people? [Is it] not by thy going with us? so shall we be distinguished, I and thy people, from every people that is on the face of the earth.
Soki otamboli elongo na biso te, ndenge nini bato bakoyeba ete ngai mpe bato na Yo tozwi ngolu na miso na Yo? Ezali nde tango okotambola elongo na biso nde ngai mpe bato na yo tokokesana na bikolo nyonso oyo ezali kati na mokili.
17 And Jehovah said to Moses, I will do this thing also that thou hast said; for thou hast found grace in mine eyes, and I know thee by name.
Yawe alobaki na Moyize: — Nakosala makambo nyonso oyo osengi Ngai, pamba te ozwi ngolu na miso na Ngai mpe nayebi yo na kombo na yo.
18 And he said, Let me, I pray thee, see thy glory.
Moyize azongisaki: — Monisa ngai nkembo na Yo.
19 And he said, I will make all my goodness pass before thy face, and I will proclaim the name of Jehovah before thee; and I will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and I will shew mercy on whom I will shew mercy.
Yawe azongisaki: — Nakolekisa bolamu na Ngai nyonso liboso na yo mpe nakotatola nani oyo nazali liboso na yo; natalisaka ngolu epai ya moto oyo Ngai nasepeli kosalela ngolu, mpe nayokelaka mawa moto oyo Ngai nasepeli koyokela mawa.
20 And he said, Thou canst not see my face; for Man shall not see me, and live.
Kasi okokoka komona elongi na Ngai te, pamba te moto moko te akoki komona Ngai mpe azala na bomoi.
21 And Jehovah said, Behold, [there is] a place by me: there shalt thou stand on the rock.
Yawe alobaki lisusu: — Ezali na esika moko awa, pembeni na Ngai, epai wapi okoki kotelema na likolo ya libanga.
22 And it shall come to pass, when my glory passeth by, that I will put thee in a cleft of the rock, and will cover thee with my hand, until I have passed by.
Tango nkembo na Ngai ekoleka, nakotia yo kati na lidusu ya libanga mpe nakozipa yo na loboko na Ngai kino nakoleka.
23 And I will take away my hand, and thou shalt see me from behind; but my face shall not be seen.
Bongo tango nakolongola loboko na Ngai, okomona Ngai kaka na mokongo; kasi okokoka komona elongi na Ngai te.
