Exodus 24
1 Then Yahweh said to Moses/me, “Come to me, up [on top of this mountain], you and Aaron and [his sons] Nadab and Abihu. Also [take along] 70 of the Israeli elders/leaders. While you are still some distance [from the top of the mountain], prostrate yourselves [on the ground] and worship me.
Yawe alobaki na Moyize: — Mata epai na Yawe, yo elongo na Aron, Nadabi, Abiyu mpe bakambi tuku sambo ya Isalaele; bokogumbama na mosika.
2 Moses, [I will allow] you alone to come near to me. The others must not come near, and the [rest of the] people must not come up the mountain.”
Moyize kaka nde asengeli kopusana pene ya Yawe; kasi bato mosusu te. Lisanga mobimba ya Isalaele mpe ekomata te elongo na ye.
3 Moses/I went and told the people everything that Yahweh had said and all that he had commanded. The people all replied together, saying, “We will do everything that Yahweh has told us [to do].”
Tango Moyize akendeki koyebisa bato makambo mpe mibeko nyonso ya Yawe, bato bazongisaki elongo: — Tokosala makambo nyonso oyo Yawe alobi.
4 Then Moses/I wrote down everything that Yahweh had commanded. Early the next morning Moses/I built a [stone] altar. He/I also set up twelve stones, one for each of the Israeli tribes.
Moyize akomaki maloba nyonso oyo Yawe ayebisaki ye. Mokolo oyo elandaki, alamukaki na tongo makasi mpe atongaki etumbelo na ebandeli ya ngomba. Bongo, atelemisaki mabanga zomi na mibale oyo ezali kotalisa mabota zomi na mibale ya Isalaele.
5 He/I also selected some young men. They burned sacrifices to Yahweh and they also sacrificed some cattle [that they did not burn completely], for the purpose of maintaining fellowship with Yahweh.
Atindaki bilenge mibali ya Isalaele ete babonzela Yawe mbeka ya kotumba ya bangombe ya mibali lokola mbeka ya boyokani.
6 Moses/I took half of the blood of the animals that were slaughtered and put it in bowls. The other half of the blood [he/I] threw/splashed against the altar.
Moyize azwaki ndambo ya makila, atiaki yango na sani; bongo ndambo mosusu, abwakaki-bwakaki yango na likolo ya etumbelo.
7 Then he/I took the scroll on which he/I had written [everything that Yahweh had commanded in] the agreement that he had made, and he/I read it [aloud], while all the people were listening. Then all the people said, “We will do all that Yahweh has told us to do. We will obey [everything].”
Azwaki lisusu buku ya Boyokani mpe atangaki yango liboso ya bana ya Isalaele. Boye bango bazongisaki: — Tokosala makambo nyonso oyo Yawe alobi mpe tokotosa yango.
8 Then Moses/I took the blood [that was in the bowls] and threw/splashed it on the people. He/I said, “This is the blood [that (confirms/puts into effect)] the agreement that Yahweh made with you when he gave you all these commands.”
Moyize azwaki makila, abwakelaki-bwakelaki yango bato mpe alobaki: — Oyo ezali makila ya boyokani oyo Yawe asali elongo na bino kolanda maloba oyo nyonso.
9 Then Moses/I, along with Aaron, Nadab, Abihu, and the 70 Israeli elders/leaders, went up [the mountain],
Sima na yango, Moyize elongo na Aron, Nadabi, Abiyu mpe bakambi tuku sambo ya Isalaele, bamataki likolo ya ngomba
10 and they/we saw God, the one whom the Israeli people worship. Under his feet was something like a pavement [made of expensive blue stones called] sapphires. They were as clear as the sky is [when there are no clouds].
epai wapi bamonaki Nzambe ya Isalaele; se ya matambe na Ye ezalaki lokola mabanga ya talo ya safiri mpe ezalaki na langi ya ble ya kitoko lokola ble ya likolo.
11 God did not harm [MTY] those Israeli elders/leaders [because of their having seen him]. They saw God, and they ate and drank together! [Then we all went back down the mountain].
Kasi Nzambe asembolaki loboko na Ye te mpo na kobeta bakambi ya Isalaele; bamonaki Nzambe, baliaki mpe bamelaki.
12 Then Yahweh said to Moses/me, “Come up to me [again] on [top of this] mountain. While you are here, I will give you [two] stone slabs on which I have written all the laws [DOU] that I have given to you to instruct/teach [the people].”
Yawe alobaki na Moyize: « Yaka pene na Ngai na likolo ya ngomba mpe telema wana. Ngai nakopesa yo bitando ya mabanga ya papala oyo na likolo na yango nakomi Mobeko mpe mitindo mpo na kopesa bana ya Isalaele malako. »
13 So Moses/I told the elders, “Stay here [with the other people] until we return! Do not forget that Aaron and Hur will be with you. So if anyone has a dispute [while I am gone], he can go to those two men.” Then Moses/I went with his/my servant Joshua [part of the way] up the mountain that [was dedicated to] God.
Boye Moyize atelemaki elongo na mosungi na ye Jozue mpe amataki na ngomba ya Nzambe.
Moyize alobaki na bakambi: « Bozela biso awa kino tokozonga. Aron mpe Wuri bazali elongo na bino. Tika ete soki moto azali na likambo, ayebisa bango yango. »
15 Then Moses/I went the [rest of the way] up the mountain. A cloud covered the mountain.
Tango Moyize amataki likolo ya ngomba, mapata ezipaki ye
16 The (glory/brilliant light) of Yahweh came down on the mountain and covered it for six days. On the seventh day, Yahweh called to Moses/me from the middle of the cloud.
mpe nkembo ya Yawe ewumelaki na likolo ya ngomba Sinai. Mikolo motoba, mapata ezipaki ngomba. Bongo na mokolo ya sambo, Yawe abengaki Moyize kati na mapata.
17 When the Israeli people [looked at] the top of the mountain, the glory of Yahweh was like a big fire that was burning [there].
Na miso ya bana ya Isalaele, Nkembo ya Yawe emonanaki na likolo ya ngomba lokola moto oyo etumbaka.
18 Moses/I went into the cloud on top of the mountain. He/I was there for 40 days and nights.
Tango Moyize amataki likolo ya ngomba, akotaki kati na mapata. Awumelaki kuna mikolo tuku minei mpe babutu tuku minei.
