Exodus 32
1 And, when the people saw that Moses delayed to come down out of the mount, the people gathered themselves together unto Aaron, and said unto him—Up, make for us gods, who shall go before us, for, as for this Moses—the man who brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we know not what hath 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 unto them, Break off the rings of gold, which are in the ears of your wives, of your sons and of your daughters, —and bring them unto 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 all the people of themselves brake off the rings of gold which were in their ears, and brought them unto Aaron.
Bato nyonso balongolaki biloko ya matoyi mpe bamemaki yango epai ya Aron.
4 And he received [the gold] at their hand, and fashioned it with a graving tool, and made it a molten calf, and they said—These, are thy gods, O Israel, who brought thee up, 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 it, he built an altar before it. And Aaron made proclamation, and said, A festival to Yahweh, to-morrow!
Tango Aron amonaki yango, atongaki etumbelo liboso ya mwana ngombe mpe alobaki: — Feti ekozala lobi mpo na Yawe.
6 So they rose up early, on the morrow, and offered ascending-sacrifices, and brought near peace-offerings, and the people sat down, to eat and to drink, and then rose up—to make sport!
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 Then spake Yahweh unto Moses—Go get thee down, for thy people whom thou hast brought up out of the land of Egypt have corrupted themselves.
Yawe alobaki na Moyize: — Kita, pamba te bato na yo, oyo obimisaki na Ejipito babungi nzela,
8 They have turned aside quickly out of the way which I commanded them, they have made for themselves—a molten calf, and have bowed themselves down thereto and have sacrificed thereto, and have said. These, are thy gods, O Israel, who have brought thee up 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 So then Yahweh said unto Moses, —I have looked on this people, and lo! a stiff-necked people, it is.
Yawe alobaki lisusu na Moyize: — Namoni ete bato oyo bazali batomboki.
10 Now, therefore, let me alone, that mine anger may kindle upon them and that I may consume them, and may 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 And Moses besought the face of Yahweh his God, —and said—Wherefore, O Yahweh, should thine anger kindle upon thy people, whom thou hast brought forth out of the land of Egypt with great might and with a firm 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 Wherefore should the Egyptians speak saying—For mischief, hath he taken them forth to slay them among the mountains, and to make an end of them from off the face of the ground? Turn thou from the kindling of thine anger, and be grieved over the calamity to 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 Have remembrance of Abraham, of Isaac and of Israel thy servants to whom thou didst swear by thyself, and didst speak unto them saying, I will multiply your seed, as the stars of the heavens, —and, all this land of which I have spoken, will I give to your seed, and they shall inherit it to times age-abiding.
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 So then Yahweh was grieved, —over the calamity—which he had spoken of inflicting on his people.
Mpe Yawe asalaki lisusu te mabe oyo akanaki kosala bato na Ye.
15 And Moses turned and went down out of the mount, with the two tables of testimony in his hand, —tables written upon on both sides of them, on this and on that, were they written.
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 Now as for, the tables, the work of God, they were, —and, as for the writing, the writing of God, it was, graven upon 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 Joshua heard the noise of the people as they shouted, —so he said unto Moses—The noise of war, 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 said—Not the noise of the cry of heroism, nor yet the noise of the cry of defeat, —the noise of alternate song, do I hear.
Moyize azongisaki: — Te, ezali makelele ya elonga te, makelele ya kokweyisama mpe te! Oyo ngai nazali koyoka, ezali nde makelele ya banzembo.
19 And it came to pass when he drew near unto the camp, and saw the calf, and the dancings, that the anger of Moses kindled, and he cast out of his hands the tables, and brake them in pieces at the foot of the mountain.
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 Then took he the calf which they had made and burned it in the fire, and ground it till it became powder, and strewed it on the face of the waters, and made the sons of Israel 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 Moses said unto Aaron, What had this people done to thee, —that thou shouldst have brought upon them a great sin?
Moyize atunaki Aron: — Likambo nini bato oyo basali yo mpo ete okamba bango kino kosala lisumu ya monene boye?
22 And Aaron said, Let not the anger of my lord kindle, —thou thyself, knowest the people, that ready for mischief, they are.
Aron azongisaki: — Tika ete nkolo na ngai asilika te! Oyebi bato, balingaka kaka kosala mabe.
23 So they said to me—Make for us gods, who shall go before us, —for, as for this, Moses—the man who brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we know not what hath 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—Whosoever hath gold let them break it off, So they gave it to me, —and I cast it into the fire, and there came out—this calf.
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 Moses saw the people, that unbridled, they were, —for Aaron had given them the rein, for a whispering, 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 So Moses took his stand in the gate of the camp, and said—Who is for Yahweh? …To me! Then gathered unto him all the sons of Levi,
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 Yahweh, God of Israel, Put ye every man his sword upon his thigh, —pass through and return from gate to gate in the camp, and slay ye every man his brother and every man his friend and every man his 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 So the sons of Levi did, according to the word of Moses, —and there fell from among the people on that day, about three thousand men.
Balevi basalaki ndenge Moyize atindaki; mpe na mokolo wana, bato pene nkoto misato bakufaki.
29 And Moses said—Install yourselves to-day, unto Yahweh, yea every man for his son and for his brother, —so will he bestow upon you to-day, a blessing.
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 it came to pass, on the morrow, that Moses said unto the people, Ye, have sinned a great sin, —Now, therefore, I must go up unto Yahweh, Peradventure, I may make a propitiatory-covering for your sin.
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 So Moses returned unto Yahweh, and said, —Oh now, this people hath sinned a great sin, and they have made for themselves—gods of gold.
Moyize azongaki epai na Yawe mpe alobaki: — Ah! Tala lisumu monene bato oyo basali. Bamisalelaki nzambe ya wolo.
32 Now, therefore, if thou wilt forgive their sin, …but if not, blot me I pray thee out of thy book, which 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 Yahweh said unto Moses, —Him who hath sinned against me, must I blot out of my book.
Yawe azongiselaki Moyize: — Moto nyonso oyo asalaki lisumu liboso na Ngai, ye nde nakolongola na buku na Ngai.
34 Now, therefore, go lead the people to the place of which I spake to thee, lo! my messenger, shall go before thee, —But, in the day when I do visit, then will I visit upon them their sin.
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 And Yahweh plagued the people, —for what they had done with the calf, which Aaron made.
Yawe apesaki bato etumbu likolo ya ekeko ya mwana ngombe oyo balobaki na Aron ete asala.
