Exodus 19
1 In the third month, by the coming forth of the sons of Israel out of the land of Egypt, on this day, came they into the desert 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 then was it that they brake up out of Rephidim and came into the desert of Sinai, and encamped in the desert, —yea Israel encamped there before the mountain.
Tango balongwaki na Refidimi, bakotaki na esobe ya Sinai, mpe Isalaele atongaki kuna kati na esobe molako etalana na ngomba.
3 And when Moses, had gone up unto God, then called Yahweh unto him out of the mountain saying, Thus, shalt thou say to the house of Jacob, And tell 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 Ye, have seen what I did unto the Egyptians, —And how I bare you upon wings of eagles, And brought you in unto 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, therefore, if ye will, indeed hearken, to my voice, And keep my covenant, Then shall ye be mine as a treasure beyond all the peoples, For, mine, is all the earth;
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 But, ye, shall be mine, As a kingdom of priests, And a holy nation. These, are the words, which thou shalt speak unto the sons of Israel.
kasi bino bokozala mpo na Ngai ekolo oyo ekosala mosala ya bonganga-Nzambe, ekolo ya bule. » Oyo nde maloba okoyebisa bana ya Isalaele.
7 Then came Moses, and called for the elders of the people, —and put before them all these words which Yahweh had commanded him.
Moyize azongaki, abengisaki bakambi ya Isalaele mpe ayebisaki bango maloba nyonso oyo Yawe atindaki ye koloba.
8 And all the people responded together and said, All that Yahweh hath spoken, will we do. And Moses took back the words of the people, unto Yahweh.
Bato nyonso bazongisaki lokola moto moko: — Tokosala nyonso oyo Yawe alobi. Bongo Moyize amemaki eyano na bango epai na Yawe.
9 Then said Yahweh unto Moses: Lo! I, am coming unto thee in the veiling of cloud, in order that the people may hear when I speak with thee, moreover also, that, in thee, they may trust to times age-abiding. Then told Moses the words of the people unto Yahweh.
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 And Yahweh said unto Moses—Go unto the people, and thou shalt hallow them to-day, and to-morrow, —and they shall 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 shall be ready, by the third day, —for on the third day, will Yahweh come down in the sight of all the people upon Mount Sinai.
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 So then thou shalt set bounds for the people round about saying, Take heed to yourselves—that ye go not up into the mountain, nor touch the boundary thereof, whosoever toucheth the mountain, shall, surely die.
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 it but he shall be, surely stoned, or be, surely shot, whether beast or man, he shall not live, —When the ram’s horn soundeth, they themselves, shall come up within the mount,
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 Then Moses went down out of the mount, unto the people, —and hallowed the people, and they washed their clothes.
Moyize alongwaki na ngomba, akendeki epai ya bana ya Isalaele, abulisaki bango, mpe basukolaki bilamba na bango.
15 And he said unto the people, Be ready, by the third day, —do not approach a woman.
Moyize alobaki na bango: — Bomilengela mpo na mokolo ya misato, bosangisa nzoto te na basi na bino.
16 And it came to pass on the third day, when the morning had come, that there were thunderings and lightnings, and a heavy cloud upon the mount, and the sound of a horn, loud exceedingly, —and all the people who were 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 And Moses brought forth the people, to meet God out of the camp, —and they stationed themselves in the lower part of the mount,
Moyize abimisaki bato mpo ete bakende kokutana na Nzambe, na libanda ya molako. Mpe bato batelemaki na ebandeli ya ngomba.
18 And Mount Sinai, smoked, all over, because Yahweh had come down thereon in fire, —and the smoke thereof went up as the smoke of a furnace, and all the mountain trembled exceedingly.
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 oft as the sound of the horn went on and became exceeding loud, Moses, spake and, God, responded to him with a voice.
Mongongo ya kelelo ezalaki kaka komata se komata. Boye Moyize abandaki koloba na Nzambe, mpe Nzambe azalaki koyanola ye na lokito ya kake.
20 Thus came Yahweh down upon Mount Sinai unto the top of the mount, —and Yahweh called Moses unto the top of the mount, and 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 Then said Yahweh unto Moses, Go down, adjure the people, —lest they press through unto Yahweh to see, and so there fall from among them a multitude.
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 Yea, even the priests who do approach unto Yahweh, must hallow themselves, —lest Yahweh break in upon them.
Ezala Banganga-Nzambe oyo basengeli kopusana pene na Ngai, basengeli komibulisa; noki te Ngai Yawe, nakoboma bango.
23 And Moses said unto Yahweh, The people cannot come up into Mount Sinai, —for, thou thyself, hast adjured us saying: Set bounds to the mountain and hallow it.
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 Yahweh said unto him—Away, down, then shalt thou come up, thou and Aaron with thee, —but as for the priests and the people, let it not be that they press through to come up unto Yahweh lest he break in upon 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 unto the people, —and said [these things] unto them.
Moyize akitaki, akendeki epai ya bana ya Isalaele mpe ayebisaki bango makambo oyo Yawe alobaki.
