Exodus 32
1 And the people seeing that Moses delayed to come down from the mount, gathering together against Aaron, said: Arise, make us gods, that may go before us: for as to this Moses, the man that brought us out of the land of Egypt, we know not what has befallen him.
Tango bato bamonaki ete Moyize azali kowumela mpo na kokita na ngomba, basanganaki zingazinga ya Aron mpe balobaki: — Yaka mpe salela biso nzambe oyo akotambola liboso na biso. Pamba te Moyize, moto oyo abimisaki biso na Ejipito, toyebi te makambo nini ekomeli ye.
2 And Aaron said to them: Take the golden earrings from the ears of your wives, and your sons and daughters, and bring them to me.
Aron azongiselaki bango: — Bolongola biloko ya matoyi oyo ezali na matoyi ya basi na bino, ya bana na bino ya basi mpe ya mibali, mpe bomemela ngai yango.
3 And the people did what he had commanded, bringing the earrings to Aaron.
Bato nyonso balongolaki biloko ya matoyi mpe bamemaki yango epai ya Aron.
4 And when he had received them, he fashioned them by founders’ work, and made of them a molten calf. And they said: These are thy gods, O Israel, that have brought thee out of the land of Egypt.
Aron azwaki biloko oyo bapesaki ye, anyangwisaki yango na moto, mpe sima, asalaki ekeko ya mwana ngombe. Bongo balobaki: — Tala nzambe na yo, oh Isalaele, oyo abimisaki yo na Ejipito.
5 And when Aaron saw this, he built an altar before it, and made proclamation by a crier’s voice, saying: Tomorrow is the solemnity of the Lord.
Tango Aron amonaki yango, atongaki etumbelo liboso ya mwana ngombe mpe alobaki: — Feti ekozala lobi mpo na Yawe.
6 And rising in the morning, they offered holocausts, and peace victims, and the people sat down to eat, and drink, and they rose up to play.
Mokolo oyo elandaki, bato balamukaki na tongo makasi, babonzaki bambeka ya kotumba mpe bambeka ya boyokani. Sima na yango, bavandaki mpo na kolia mpe mpo na komela; mpe batelemaki mpo na kosakana.
7 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: Go, get thee down: thy people, which thou hast brought out of the land of Egypt, hath sinned.
Yawe alobaki na Moyize: — Kita, pamba te bato na yo, oyo obimisaki na Ejipito babungi nzela,
8 They have quickly strayed from the way which thou didst shew them: and they have made to themselves a molten calf, and have adored it, and sacrificing victims to it, have said: These are thy gods, O Israel, that have brought thee out of the land of Egypt.
bapesi mokongo noki na makambo oyo natindaki bango mpe bamisaleli ekeko ya mwana ngombe. Bagumbameli yango, babonzeli yango makabo mpe balobi: « Tala nzambe na yo, Oh Isalaele, oyo abimisaki yo na Ejipito. »
9 And again the Lord said to Moses: See that this people is stiffnecked:
Yawe alobaki lisusu na Moyize: — Namoni ete bato oyo bazali batomboki.
10 Let me alone, that my wrath may be kindled against them, and that I may destroy them, and I will make of thee a great nation.
Sik’oyo, tika Ngai moko nasala mpo ete kanda na Ngai ekweyela bango mpe naboma bango. Kasi nakokomisa yo libota monene.
11 But Moses besought the Lord his God, saying: Why, O Lord, is thy indignation kindled against thy people, whom thou hast brought out of the land of Egypt, with great power, and with a mighty hand?
Moyize abondelaki Yawe, Nzambe na ye, mpe alobaki: — Eh Yawe! Mpo na nini kanda na Yo ekweyela bato na Yo, oyo obimisaki na Ejipito, na nguya monene mpe na loboko ya makasi?
12 Let not the Egyptians say, I beseech thee: He craftily brought them out, that he might kill them in the mountains, and destroy them from the earth: let thy anger cease, and be appeased upon the wickedness of thy people.
Mpo na nini bato ya Ejipito baloba: « Nzambe na bango azalaki na makanisi mabe tango abimisaki bango na Ejipito. Ezali nde mpo na koboma bango na mokili ya bangomba mpe kosilisa bango na mokili. » Lembisa kanda na Yo ya makasi mpe kosala lisusu mabe te na bato na Yo.
13 Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, thy servants, to whom thou sworest by thy own self, saying: I will multiply your seed as the stars of heaven: and this whole land that I have spoken of, I will give to you seed, and you shall possess it for ever.
Kanisa Abrayami, Izaki mpe Isalaele, basali na Yo, oyo Yo moko olapelaki ndayi mpe olobaki: « Nakokomisa bakitani na yo ebele lokola minzoto na likolo, nakopesa bango mokili oyo nyonso ndenge kaka nalobaki na bango; mpe yango ekozala libula na bango mpo na libela. »
14 And the Lord was appeased from doing the evil which he had spoken against his people.
Mpe Yawe asalaki lisusu te mabe oyo akanaki kosala bato na Ye.
15 And Moses returned from the mount, carrying the two tables of the testimony in his hand, written on both sides,
Moyize abalukaki mpe akitaki wuta na ngomba, elongo na bitando mibale ya mabanga ya boyokani na maboko na ye; mabanga yango ekomama na bangambo mibale, na liboso mpe na sima.
16 And made by the work of God: the writing also of God was graven in the tables.
Bitando yango ya mabanga ezalaki mosala ya Nzambe, mpe makomi oyo ezalaki ya kokomama na bitando yango ya mabanga ezalaki ya Nzambe.
17 And Josue hearing the noise of the people shouting, said to Moses: The noise of battle is heard in the camp.
Tango Jozue ayokaki makelele ya bato oyo bazalaki koganga, alobaki na Moyize: — Ezali na makelele ya bitumba kati na molako!
18 But he answered: It is not the cry of men encouraging to fight, nor the shout of men compelling to flee: but I hear the voice of singers.
Moyize azongisaki: — Te, ezali makelele ya elonga te, makelele ya kokweyisama mpe te! Oyo ngai nazali koyoka, ezali nde makelele ya banzembo.
19 And when he came nigh to the camp, he saw the calf, and the dances: and being very angry, he threw the tables out of his hand, and broke them at the foot of the mount:
Tango Moyize apusanaki pembeni ya molako, amonaki ekeko ya mwana ngombe mpe bato bazali kobina; asilikaki makasi, abwakaki bitando ya mabanga wuta na maboko na ye mpe apanzaki yango na biteni, na ebandeli ya ngomba.
20 And laying hold of the calf which they had made, he burnt it, and beat it to powder, which he strowed into water, and gave thereof to the children of Israel to drink.
Moyize azwaki ekeko ya mwana ngombe oyo basalaki, atumbaki yango na moto mpe anikaki yango malamu kino ekomaki putulu. Bongo apanzaki yango likolo ya mayi mpe amelisaki bana ya Isalaele mayi yango.
21 And he said to Aaron: What has this people done to thee, that thou shouldst bring upon them a most heinous sin?
Moyize atunaki Aron: — Likambo nini bato oyo basali yo mpo ete okamba bango kino kosala lisumu ya monene boye?
22 And he answered him: Let not my lord be offended: for thou knowest this people, that they are prone to evil.
Aron azongisaki: — Tika ete nkolo na ngai asilika te! Oyebi bato, balingaka kaka kosala mabe.
23 They said to me: Make us gods, that may go before us: for as to this Moses, who brought us forth out of the land of Egypt, we know not what is befallen him.
Balobaki na ngai: « Salela biso Nzambe oyo akotambola liboso na biso, pamba te toyebi te likambo nini ekweyeli Moyize oyo abimisaki biso na Ejipito. »
24 And I said to them: Which of you hath any gold? and they took and brought it to me: and I cast it into the fire, and this calf came out.
Bongo nayebisaki bango: « Tika ete moto nyonso oyo azali na biloko ya matoyi ya wolo alongola yango. » Bapesaki ngai wolo, nanyangwisaki yango na moto mpe nasalaki na yango ekeko ya mwana ngombe oyo.
25 And when Moses saw that the people were naked, (for Aaron had stripped them by occasion of the shame of the filth, and had set them naked among their enemies, )
Moyize amonaki ete bato bazalaki kati na mobulu, pamba te Aron akambaki bango mabe; yango wana bakomaki eloko ya kotiola na miso ya banguna na bango.
26 Then standing in the gate of the camp, he said: If any man be on the Lord’s side let him join with me. And all the sons of Levi gathered themselves together unto him:
Moyize atelemaki na ekotelo ya molako mpe alobaki: — Tika ete moto nyonso oyo azali mpo na Yawe aya epai na ngai. Mpe Balevi nyonso basanganaki pene na ye.
27 And he said to them: Thus saith the Lord God of Israel: Put every man his sword upon his thigh: go, and return from gate to gate through the midst of the camp, and let every man kill his brother, and friend, and neighbour.
Alobaki na bango: — Tala makambo oyo Yawe, Nzambe ya Isalaele, alobi: « Tika ete moto nyonso atia mopanga na mopende na ye. Botambola kati na molako wuta na ndako ya kapo moko kino na ndako ya kapo mosusu; mpe moko na moko na bino aboma ndeko na ye ya mobali, moninga na ye mpe mozalani na ye. »
28 And the sons of Levi did according to the words of Moses, and there were slain that day about three and twenty thousand men.
Balevi basalaki ndenge Moyize atindaki; mpe na mokolo wana, bato pene nkoto misato bakufaki.
29 And Moses said: You have consecrated your hands this day to the Lord, every man in his son and in his brother, that a blessing may be given to you.
Moyize alobaki: — Na mokolo ya lelo, Yawe atie bino pembeni mpo ete bobomi bana na bino moko ya mibali mpe bandeko na bino ya mibali. Bongo mpo na yango, apamboli bino.
30 And when the next day was come, Moses spoke to the people: You have sinned a very great sin: I will go up to the Lord, if by any means I may be able to entreat him for your crime.
Mokolo elandaki, Moyize alobaki na bato: — Bosalaki lisumu monene. Kasi sik’oyo, nakomata epai na Yawe; tango mosusu, nakozwa bolimbisi mpo na lisumu na bino.
31 And returning to the Lord, he said: I beseech thee: this people hath sinned a heinous sin, and they have made to themselves gods of gold: either forgive them this trespass,
Moyize azongaki epai na Yawe mpe alobaki: — Ah! Tala lisumu monene bato oyo basali. Bamisalelaki nzambe ya wolo.
32 Or if thou do not, strike me out of the book that thou hast written.
Kasi sik’oyo, nabondeli Yo, limbisa lisumu na bango, soki te longola kombo na ngai na buku ya bomoi oyo okomaki.
33 And the Lord answered him: He that hath sinned against me, him will I strike out of my book:
Yawe azongiselaki Moyize: — Moto nyonso oyo asalaki lisumu liboso na Ngai, ye nde nakolongola na buku na Ngai.
34 But go thou, and lead this people whither I have told thee: my angel shall go before thee. And I in the day of revenge will visit this sin also of theirs.
Sik’oyo, kende! Kamba bato na esika oyo nalobaki na yo. Tala, anjelu na Ngai akozala liboso na yo. Atako bongo, tango mokolo ekokoka mpo ete napesa etumbu, nakopesa bango etumbu mpo na lisumu na bango.
35 The Lord therefore struck the people for the guilt on occasion of the calf which Aaron had made.
Yawe apesaki bato etumbu likolo ya ekeko ya mwana ngombe oyo balobaki na Aron ete asala.
