< Exodus 18 >
1 And whanne Jetro, the prest of Madian, `the alye of Moises, hadde herd alle thingis which God hadde do to Moises, and to Israel his puple, for the Lord hadde led Israel out of the lond of Egipt,
Jetro, Nganga-Nzambe ya Madiani mpe bokilo ya Moyize, ayokaki makambo nyonso oyo Nzambe asalelaki Moyize mpe Isalaele, bato na Ye, mpe ndenge nini Yawe abimisaki Isalaele na Ejipito.
2 he took Sefora, `the wijf of Moises, whom he hadde sent ayen,
Jetro amemaki Sefora, mwasi ya Moyize, oyo ye Moyize azongisaki nanu epai ya baboti na ye,
3 and hise twei sones, of which oon was clepid Gersan, for the fadir seide, Y was a comelyng in alien lond,
elongo na bana mibali mibale oyo Sefora abotelaki Moyize. Mwana ya liboso, kombo na ye ezalaki « Gerishomi, » pamba te Moyize amilobelaki: « Nakomaki mopaya kati na mokili ya mopaya; »
4 forsothe the tother was clepid Eliezer, for Moises seide, God of my fadir is myn helpere, and he delyuerede me fro the swerd of Farao.
mwana ya mibale, kombo na ye ezalaki « Eliezeri, » pamba te amilobelaki: « Nzambe ya tata na ngai asungaki ngai mpe akangolaki ngai wuta na mopanga ya Faraon. »
5 Therfor Jetro, `alie of Moises, cam, and the sones of Moises and his wijf camen to Moises, in to deseert, where Jetro settide tentis bisidis the hil of God;
Jetro, bokilo ya Moyize, elongo na bana mibali ya Moyize mpe mwasi ya Moyize bayaki epai ya Moyize, na esobe epai wapi batongaki molako pembeni ya ngomba ya Nzambe.
6 and sente to Moises, and seide, Y Jetro, thin alie, come to thee, and thi wijf, and thi twei sones with hir.
Jetro atindelaki Moyize maloba oyo: — Ngai Jetro, bokilo na yo, nazali koya epai na yo elongo na mwasi na yo mpe bana na yo mibale ya mibali.
7 And Moises yede out into the comyng of his alie, and worschipide, and kiste hym, and thei gretten hem silf to gidere with pesible wordis.
Moyize abimaki mpo na kokutana na bokilo na ye; agumbamaki liboso na ye mpe apesaki ye beze. Batunanaki basango ya moko na moko mpe bakotaki na ndako ya kapo.
8 And whanne he hadde entrid in to the tabernacle, Moises tolde to `his alie alle thingis whiche God hadde do to Farao, and to Egipcians, for Israel, and he tolde al the trauel which bifelle to hem in the weie, of which the Lord delyuerede hem.
Moyize ayebisaki bokilo na ye makambo nyonso oyo Yawe asalaki Faraon mpe bato ya Ejipito mpo na kokangola Isalaele, pasi nyonso oyo bakutanaki na yango na nzela mpe ndenge nini Yawe abikisaki bango.
9 And Jetro was glad on alle the goodis whiche the Lord hadde do to Israel, for he delyuerede Israel fro the hond of Egipcians.
Jetro asepelaki koyoka makambo wana nyonso ya kitoko oyo Yawe asalelaki bana ya Isalaele tango akangolaki bango wuta na maboko ya bato ya Ejipito.
10 And Jetro seide, Blessid be `the Lord, that delyuerede you fro the hond of Egipcians, and fro `the hond of Farao, which Lord delyuered his puple fro the hond of Egipt;
Jetro alobaki: — Tika ete Yawe akumisama, Ye oyo akangolaki yo wuta na maboko ya bato ya Ejipito mpe ya Faraon, Ye oyo akangolaki bato wuta na bowumbu ya bato ya Ejipito.
11 now Y knowe that the Lord is greet aboue alle goddis, for `thei diden proudli ayens hem.
Nandimi sik’oyo ete Yawe azali monene koleka banzambe nyonso, pamba te asali makambo ya lolenge oyo epai ya banyokoli ya Isalaele.
12 Therfor Jetro, `alie of Moises, offride brent sacrifices and offryngis to God; and Aaron, and alle the eldere men of Israel, camen to ete breed with hym bifore God.
Bongo Jetro, bokilo ya Moyize, abonzelaki Nzambe mbeka ya kotumba mpe bambeka mosusu. Aron elongo na bakambi nyonso ya Isalaele bayaki mpo na kolia lipa elongo na bokilo ya Moyize, na miso ya Nzambe.
13 Forsothe in the tother dai Moises sat that he schulde deme the puple, that stood niy Moises, fro the morewtid til to euentid.
Mokolo oyo elandaki, Moyize avandaki mpo na kosambisa bato. Bato batelemaki liboso ya Moyize, kobanda na tongo kino na pokwa.
14 And whanne `his alie hadde seyn this, that is, alle thingis `whiche he dide in the puple, he seide, What is this that thou doist in the puple? whi sittist thou aloone, and al the puple abidith fro the morewtid til to euentid?
Tango bokilo na ye amonaki makambo nyonso oyo Moyize azalaki kosala mpo na bato, alobaki: — Mpo na nini ozali kosala bongo tango ozali kotala makambo ya bato? Mpo na nini ozali yo moko lokola mosambisi? Mpo na nini bato oyo nyonso batelemi pembeni na yo, kobanda na tongo kino na pokwa?
15 To whom Moises answeride, The puple cometh to me, and axith the sentence of God;
Moyize azongiselaki ye: — Bayaka epai na ngai mpo na kotuna toli ya Nzambe.
16 and whanne ony strijf bifallith to hem, thei comen to me, that Y deme bitwixe hem, and schewe `the comaundementis of God, and hise lawis.
Soki bazali na kowelana, bayaka epai na ngai; mpe ngai nakataka makambo, sima nalakisaka bango mibeko mpe bikateli ya Nzambe.
17 And Jetro seide, Thou doist a thing not good,
Bokilo ya Moyize alobaki na ye: — Lolenge na yo ya kosala ezali malamu te.
18 thou art wastid with a fonned trauel, bothe thou and this puple which is with thee; the werk is a boue thi strengthis, thou aloone maist not suffre it.
Okolemba noki elongo na bato oyo bazali koya epai na yo. Mosala oyo eleki makasi mpo na yo; okolonga kosala yango yo moko te.
19 But here thou my wordis and counseils, and the Lord schal be with thee; be thou to the puple in these thingis that perteynen to God, that thou telle the thingis that ben seid to the puple;
Yoka sik’oyo toli oyo nalingi kopesa yo, mpe tika ete Nzambe azala na yo. Mosala na yo ezali: kozala molobeli ya bato liboso ya Nzambe, komema mikumba na bango epai ya Nzambe
20 and schewe to the puple the cerymonyes, and custom of worschipyng, and the weie bi which `thei owen to go, and the werk which `thei owen to do.
mpe kolakisa bango bikateli elongo na mibeko oyo ekotalisa bango nzela ya kolanda mpe makambo oyo basengeli kosala.
21 Forsothe puruey thou of al the puple myyti men, and dredynge God, in whiche is treuthe, and whiche haten auarice; and ordeyne thou of hem tribunes, and centuriouns, and quinquagenaries, and deenys,
Mpe lisusu, kati na bato, pona mibali ya mayele, oyo batosaka Nzambe, oyo bato bakoki kotiela motema mpo ete basalelaka bosembo mpe bazwaka kanyaka te. Okotia bango lokola bakambi ya bato: bakambi ya bankoto, ya bankama, ya batuku mitano mpe ya bazomi.
22 whiche schulen deme the puple in al tyme; sotheli what ever thing is grettere, telle thei to thee, and deme thei ooneli lesse thingis, and be it esiere to thee, whanne the burthun is departid in to othere men.
Okopesa bango mosala ya kosambisa bato tango nyonso mpe ndingisa ya kokata bango moko makambo ya mike; kasi babanda komemela yo kaka makambo ya minene. Soki osali bongo, okozala lisusu na mokumba ya makasi te; pamba te okokabola yango elongo na bango.
23 If thou schalt do this, thou schalt fille the comaundement of God, and thou schalt mowe bere hise comaundementis; and al this puple schal turne ayen with pees to her places.
Soki osaleli toli oyo napesi yo mpe soki Nzambe akambi yo, okolonga, mpe bato oyo nyonso bakobanda kozonga na esengo epai na bango.
24 And whanne these thingis weren herd, Moises dide alle thingis whiche Jetro counselide.
Moyize ayokaki toli oyo bokilo na ye apesaki ye mpe asalelaki makambo nyonso oyo alobaki.
25 And whanne noble men of al Israel weren chosun Moises ordeynede hem princis of the puple, tribunes, and centuriouns, and quinquagenaries, and denes,
Moyize aponaki bato ya mayele kati na bana ya Isalaele mpe akomisaki bango bakambi ya bato: bakambi ya bankoto, ya bankama, ya batuku mitano mpe ya bazomi.
26 whiche demeden the puple in al tyme; forsothe, whateuer thing was hardere, thei telden to Moises, and thei demeden esiere thingis oneli.
Bazalaki tango nyonso kati na bato mpo na kosambisa bato mpe kokata makambo; bazalaki kokata bango moko makambo ya mike, kasi bazalaki komema oyo ya minene epai ya Moyize.
27 And Moises lefte `his alie, which turnede ayen, and yede in to his lond.
Moyize apesaki nzela ete bokilo na ye akende, mpe Jetro azongaki na mokili na ye.
