Exodus 4
1 Then Moses answered, and said, But lo, they will not beleeue me, nor hearken vnto my voyce: for they will say, The Lord hath not appeared vnto thee.
Moyize azongisaki: — Bongo soki bandimi ngai te, bayoki ngai te? Solo, bakoloba kaka: « Yawe amonanaki na yo te. »
2 And the Lord said vnto him, What is that in thine hande? And he answered, A rod.
Yawe atunaki ye: — Ozali na nini na loboko na yo? Moyize azongisaki: — Nazali na lingenda.
3 Then said he, Cast it on the ground. So he cast it on the grounde, and it was turned into a serpent: and Moses fled from it.
Yawe alobaki: — Bwaka yango na mabele. Moyize abwakaki lingenda yango na mabele mpe ebongwanaki nyoka. Bongo Moyize akimaki mosika na yango.
4 Againe the Lord saide vnto Moses, Put foorth thine hand, and take it by the tayle. Then he put foorth his hande and caught it, and it was turned into a rod in his hand.
Kasi Yawe alobaki na ye: — Sembola loboko na yo mpe kanga nyoka yango na mokila! Moyize asembolaki loboko mpe akangaki nyoka; mpe nyoka yango ebongwanaki lisusu lingenda na loboko na ye.
5 Do this that they may beleeue, that the Lord God of their fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Izhak, and the God of Iaakob hath appeared vnto thee.
Yawe alobaki na ye: — Esalemi bongo mpo ete bandima solo ete Yawe, Nzambe ya bakoko na bango, Nzambe ya Abrayami, ya Izaki mpe ya Jakobi, amonanaki na yo.
6 And the Lord saide furthermore vnto him, Thrust nowe thine hand into thy bosome. And he thrust his hand into his bosome, and when he tooke it out againe, behold, his hand was leprous as snowe.
Sima, Yawe alobaki na ye lisusu: — Tia loboko na yo na tolo na yo. Moyize atiaki loboko na ye na tolo na ye; mpe tango alongolaki yango, loboko yango ezwaki bokono ya maba; ekomaki pembe lokola mvula ya pembe.
7 Moreouer he said, Put thine hand into thy bosome againe. So he put his hande into his bosome againe, and pluckt it out of his bosome, and behold, it was turned againe as his other flesh.
Yawe alobaki na ye: — Sik’oyo, zongisa loboko na yo na tolo na yo. Moyize azongisaki loboko na ye na tolo na ye. Mpe tango alongolaki yango, loboko yango ekomaki lisusu malamu lokola biteni mosusu ya nzoto na ye.
8 So shall it be, if they wil not beleeue thee, neither obey the voyce of ye first signe, yet shall they beleeue for the voyce of the seconde signe.
Yawe alobaki na ye: — Soki bandimi yo te to soki babeti tembe mpo na elembo ya liboso, bakondima na elembo ya mibale.
9 But if they will not yet beleeue these two signes, neither obey vnto thy voyce, then shalt thou take of the water of the riuer, and powre it vpon the drie lande: so the water which thou shalt take out of the riuer, shalbe turned to blood vpon the drie land.
Kasi soki na bilembo oyo mibale, bandimi kaka te to bayoki te, wana okotoka mayi na ebale Nili, okosopa yango na esobe. Mayi oyo okozwa na ebale Nili ekokoma makila tango okosopa yango na mabele.
10 But Moses said vnto the Lord, Oh my Lord, I am not eloquent, neither at any time haue bene, nor yet since thou hast spoken vnto thy seruant: but I am slowe of speach and slowe of tongue.
Moyize alobaki na Yawe: — Ah, Nkolo, nakokaka koloba malamu te! Yango ezali likambo ya lobi oyo eleki te to ya wuta tango obandi koloba na mosali na Yo te, pamba te nazali na monoko mpe na lolemo kilo.
11 Then the Lord said vnto him, Who hath giuen the mouth to man? or who hath made the domme, or the deafe, or him that seeth, or the blinde? haue not I the Lord?
Yawe alobaki na ye: — Nani apesaka monoko epai ya moto? Nani akomisaka moto baba to mokufi matoyi? Nani akomisaka moto, moto oyo amonaka to mokufi miso? Boni, ezali Ngai Yawe te?
12 Therefore goe nowe, and I will be with thy mouth, and will teach thee what thou shalt say.
Sik’oyo kende, Ngai moko nakosunga yo mpo ete oloba malamu, mpe nakoteya yo makambo oyo osengeli koloba.
13 But he saide, Oh my Lord, sende, I pray thee, by the hande of him, whome thou shouldest sende.
Kasi Moyize azongisaki: — Te Nkolo! Nabondeli Yo! Tinda moto mosusu oyo olingi mpo na kosala yango.
14 Then the Lord was verie angrie with Moses, and said, Doe not I know Aaron thy brother the Leuite, that he himselfe shall speake? for loe, he commeth also foorth to meete thee, and when he seeth thee, he will be glad in his heart.
Boye Yawe asilikelaki Moyize mpe alobaki na ye: — Boni, Aron, moto ya libota ya Levi, azali ndeko na yo te? Nayebi ete alobaka malamu mpe ye wana azali koya kokutana na yo; mpe motema na ye ekosepela tango akomona yo.
15 Therefore thou shalt speake vnto him, and put the wordes in his mouth, and I will be with thy mouth, and with his mouth, and will teach you what ye ought to doe.
Okoloba na ye mpe okotia maloba na monoko na ye, bongo Ngai nakosunga bino mibale mpo ete bokoka koloba malamu, mpe nakoteya bino makambo oyo bosengeli kosala.
16 And he shall be thy spokesman vnto the people: and he shall be, euen he shall be as thy mouth, and thou shalt be to him as God.
Ye akoloba epai ya bato na esika na yo, akozala molobeli na yo; bongo yo okozala lokola nzambe na ye.
17 Moreouer thou shalt take this rod in thine hand, wherewith thou shalt do miracles.
Kasi zwa lingenda oyo ezali na maboko na yo mpo ete osala bilembo ya kokamwa na nzela na yango.
18 Therefore Moses went and returned to Iethro his father in lawe, and said vnto him, I pray thee, let me goe, and returne to my brethren, which are in Egypt, and see whether they be yet aliue. Then Iethro said to Moses, Go in peace.
Moyize azongaki epai ya Jetro, tata-bokilo na ye, mpe alobaki na ye: — Nasengeli kokende epai ya bandeko na ngai, na Ejipito, mpo ete natala soki ndambo kati na bango bazali nanu na bomoi. Jetro ozongisaki: — Kende na kimia!
19 (For the Lord had said vnto Moses in Midian, Goe, returne to Egypt: for they are all dead which went about to kill thee)
Yawe alobaki na Moyize tango azalaki nanu na mokili ya Madiani: — Telema mpe zonga na Ejipito, pamba te bato nyonso oyo balingaki koboma yo basili kokufa.
20 Then Moses tooke his wife, and his sonnes, and put them on an asse, and returned towarde the lande of Egypt, and Moses tooke the rod of God in his hand.
Moyize azwaki mwasi na ye mpe bana na ye ya mibali, atiaki bango likolo ya ane mpe azongaki na Ejipito. Azwaki lisusu lingenda ya Nzambe na loboko na ye.
21 And the Lord saide vnto Moses, When thou art entred and come into Egypt againe, see that thou doe all the wonders before Pharaoh, which I haue put in thine hand: but I will harden his heart, and he shall not let the people goe.
Yawe alobaki na Moyize: — Sik’oyo, lokola ozali kozonga na Ejipito, tala bikamwa nyonso oyo napesi yo nguya ya kosala; okosala yango liboso ya Faraon. Ngai nakokomisa motema na ye libanga mpo ete akoka kotika te bato na Ngai kokende.
22 Then thou shalt say to Pharaoh, Thus saith the Lord, Israel is my sonne, euen my first borne.
Okoloba na Faraon: « Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: ‹ Isalaele azali mwana na Ngai ya liboso ya mobali.
23 Wherefore I say to thee, Let my sonne go, that he may serue me: if thou refuse to let him goe, beholde, I will slay thy sonne, euen thy first borne.
Mpe nalobi na yo: Tika mwana na Ngai ya mobali kokende mpo ete asalela Ngai. Soki kaka oboyi kotika ye, nakoboma mwana na yo ya liboso ya mobali. › »
24 And as he was by the waye in the ynne, the Lord met him, and would haue killed him.
Nzokande na nzela, na esika oyo balekisaki butu, Yawe akutanaki na Moyize mpe alukaki koboma ye.
25 Then Zipporah tooke a sharpe knife, and cut away the foreskinne of her sonne, and cast it at his feete, and said, Thou art indeede a bloody husband vnto me.
Kasi Sefora azwaki libanga ya songe, akataki ngenga ya mwana na ye ya mobali mpe atutisaki ngenga yango na makolo ya Moyize; alobaki: — Solo, ozali penza mpo na ngai mobali ya makila.
26 So he departed from him. Then she saide, O bloodie husband (because of the circumcision)
Bongo Yawe atikaki Moyize. Ezalaki na tango wana nde Sefora alobaki na Moyize likolo na likambo ya kokatama ngenga: — Mobali ya makila.
27 Then the Lord saide vnto Aaron, Goe meete Moses in the wildernesse. And he went and mette him in the Mount of God, and kissed him.
Yawe alobaki na Aron: — Kende kokutana na Moyize na esobe. Aron akendeki, akutanaki na Moyize na ngomba ya Nzambe mpe apesaki ye beze.
28 Then Moses tolde Aaron all the wordes of the Lord, who had sent him, and all the signes wherewith he had charged him.
Moyize ayebisaki Aron makambo nyonso oyo Yawe atindaki ye koloba mpe bikamwa nyonso oyo atindaki ye kosala.
29 So went Moses and Aaron, and gathered all the Elders of the children of Israel.
Bongo Moyize mpe Aron bakendeki kosangisa bakambi nyonso ya Isalaele.
30 And Aaron told all the wordes, which the Lord had spoken vnto Moses, and he did the miracles in the sight of the people,
Aron ayebisaki bango maloba nyonso oyo Yawe alobaki na Moyize. Asalaki bikamwa liboso ya bato.
31 And the people beleeued, and when they heard that the Lord had visited the children of Israel, and had looked vpon their tribulation, they bowed downe, and worshipped.
Bato bandimaki. Bongo tango bayokaki ete Yawe akanisaki bana ya Isalaele mpe amonaki pasi na bango, bafukamaki mpe bagumbamelaki Yawe.
