Exodus 32
1 When the people saw that Moses delayed in coming down the mountain, they gathered around Aaron and said to him, “Come, make us an idol that will go before us. As for this Moses, the man who brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we do not know what has happened to 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 So Aaron said to them, “Take off the golden rings that are on your wives' ears, and the ears of 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 All the people took off the golden rings that were on their ears and brought them to Aaron.
Bato nyonso balongolaki biloko ya matoyi mpe bamemaki yango epai ya Aron.
4 He received the gold from them, fashioned it in a mold, and made it into a molded calf. Then the people said, “Israel, this is your god who brought you 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 When Aaron saw this, he built an altar before the calf and made a proclamation; he said, “Tomorrow will be a festival in Yahweh's honor.”
Tango Aron amonaki yango, atongaki etumbelo liboso ya mwana ngombe mpe alobaki: — Feti ekozala lobi mpo na Yawe.
6 The people arose early the next day and offered burnt offerings and brought fellowship offerings. Then they sat down to eat and to drink, and then got up to carouse in wild celebration.
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 Yahweh spoke to Moses, “Go quickly, for your people, whom you 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 quickly left the way that I commanded them. They have molded for themselves a calf and have worshiped it and sacrificed to it. They have said, 'Israel, this is your god who brought you 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 Then Yahweh said to Moses, “I have seen this people. Look, they are a stiff-necked people.
Yawe alobaki lisusu na Moyize: — Namoni ete bato oyo bazali batomboki.
10 Now then, do not try to stop me. My anger will burn hot against them, so I will destroy them. Then I will make a great nation from you.”
Sik’oyo, tika Ngai moko nasala mpo ete kanda na Ngai ekweyela bango mpe naboma bango. Kasi nakokomisa yo libota monene.
11 But Moses tried to calm down Yahweh his God. He said, “Yahweh, why does your anger burn against your people, whom you have 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 Why should the Egyptians say, 'He led them out with evil intent, to kill them in the mountains and to destroy them from the face of the earth?' Turn from your burning anger and relent from this punishment on your 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 Call to mind Abraham and Isaac and Israel, your servants, to whom you swore by your own self and said to them, 'I will make your descendants as many as the stars in the heavens, and I will give to your descendants all this land of which I have spoken. They will inherit it forever.'”
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 Then Yahweh relented from the punishment that he had said he would inflict on his people.
Mpe Yawe asalaki lisusu te mabe oyo akanaki kosala bato na Ye.
15 Then Moses turned around and went down the mountain, carrying the two tablets of the covenant decrees in his hand. The tablets were written on both their sides, on both the front and the back.
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 The tablets were God's own work, and the writing was God's own writing, engraved on the tablets.
Bitando yango ya mabanga ezalaki mosala ya Nzambe, mpe makomi oyo ezalaki ya kokomama na bitando yango ya mabanga ezalaki ya Nzambe.
17 When Joshua heard the noise of the people as they shouted, he said to Moses, “There is the noise of combat 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 Moses said, “It is not the sound of a victor, and not the sound of defeated people, but the sound of singing that 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 When Moses approached the camp, he saw the calf and the people dancing. He became very angry. He threw the tablets out of his hands and broke them at the bottom 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 He took the calf that the people had made, burned it, ground it to powder, and poured it into the water. Then he made the people of Israel drink it.
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 Then Moses said to Aaron, “What did this people do to you, that you have brought such a great sin on them?”
Moyize atunaki Aron: — Likambo nini bato oyo basali yo mpo ete okamba bango kino kosala lisumu ya monene boye?
22 Aaron said, “Do not let your anger burn hot, my master. You know these people, how they are set on doing evil.
Aron azongisaki: — Tika ete nkolo na ngai asilika te! Oyebi bato, balingaka kaka kosala mabe.
23 They said to me, 'Make us a god who will go before us. As for this Moses, the man who brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we do not know what has happened to 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 So I said to them, 'Whoever has any gold, let him take it off.' They gave me the gold and I threw it into the fire, and out came 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 Moses saw that the people were running wild (for Aaron had let them get out of control, causing their enemies to mock them).
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 Moses stood at the entrance to the camp and said, “Whoever is on Yahweh's side, come to me.” All the Levites gathered around 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 He said to them, “Yahweh, the God of Israel, says this: 'Let each man fasten his sword on his side and go back and forth from entrance to entrance throughout the camp, and kill his brother, his companion, and his neighbor.'”
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 The Levites did what Moses ordered. That day about three thousand of the people died.
Balevi basalaki ndenge Moyize atindaki; mpe na mokolo wana, bato pene nkoto misato bakufaki.
29 Moses said to the Levites, “You have been placed into Yahweh's service today, for each of you has taken action against his son and his brother, so Yahweh might give you a blessing today.”
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 The next day Moses said to the people, “You have committed a very great sin. Now I will go up to Yahweh. Perhaps I can make atonement 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 Moses returned to Yahweh and said, “Oh, these people have committed a great sin and made themselves an idol of gold.
Moyize azongaki epai na Yawe mpe alobaki: — Ah! Tala lisumu monene bato oyo basali. Bamisalelaki nzambe ya wolo.
32 But now, please forgive their sin; but if you do not, blot me out of the book that you have written.”
Kasi sik’oyo, nabondeli Yo, limbisa lisumu na bango, soki te longola kombo na ngai na buku ya bomoi oyo okomaki.
33 Yahweh said to Moses, “Whoever has sinned against me, that person I will blot out of my book.
Yawe azongiselaki Moyize: — Moto nyonso oyo asalaki lisumu liboso na Ngai, ye nde nakolongola na buku na Ngai.
34 So now go, lead the people to the place of which I have spoken to you. See, my angel will go before you. But on the day that I punish them, I will punish them for 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 Yahweh sent a plague on the people because they had made the calf, the one that Aaron made.
Yawe apesaki bato etumbu likolo ya ekeko ya mwana ngombe oyo balobaki na Aron ete asala.
