Deuteronomy 9
1 'Hear, Israel, thou art passing over to-day the Jordan, to go in to possess nations greater and mightier than thyself; cities great and fenced in the heavens;
Oh Isalaele, yoka malamu! Okomi sik’oyo pene ya kokatisa Yordani mpo na kokota mpe kobengana bikolo oyo eleki yo na monene mpe na makasi, bikolo oyo evandaka kati na bingumba minene oyo ezali na bamir batonga makasi mpe ekenda kino na likolo.
2 a people great and tall, sons of Anakim, whom thou — thou hast known, (and thou — thou hast heard: Who doth station himself before sons of Anak?)
Bato yango bazali makasi mpe bingambe, bana ya Anaki! Oyebi bango mpe osila koyoka bato koloba na tina na bango: « Nani akoki kotelema liboso ya bana ya Anaki? »
3 and thou hast known to-day, that Jehovah thy God [is] He who is passing over before thee — a fire consuming; He doth destroy them, and He doth humble them before thee, and thou hast dispossessed them, and destroyed them hastily, as Jehovah hath spoken to thee.
Kasi lelo, yeba malamu ete Yawe, Nzambe na yo, azali Ye moko kotambola liboso na yo lokola moto oyo ezikisaka; akobebisa bango mpe akobuka bango liboso na yo; bongo yo okokamata mabele na bango mpe okosilisa bango noki-noki, ndenge Yawe alakaki yo.
4 'Thou dost not speak in thy heart (in Jehovah thy God's driving them away from before thee), saying, For my righteousness hath Jehovah brought me in to possess this land, seeing for the wickedness of these nations is Jehovah dispossessing them from thy presence;
Tango Yawe, Nzambe na yo, akosilisa kobengana bango liboso na yo, komilobela te kati na motema na yo: « Ezali mpo na bosembo na ngai nde Yawe amemaki ngai mpo ete nakamata mokili oyo. » Te, ezali bongo te! Ezali nde mpo na mabe ya bikolo yango nde Yawe abengani yango liboso na yo.
5 not for thy righteousness, and for the uprightness of thy heart, art thou going in to possess their land; but for the wickedness of these nations is Jehovah thy God dispossessing them from before thee; and in order to establish the word which Jehovah hath sworn to thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob;
Ezali te mpo na bosembo na yo to mpo ete otambolaki alima nde okokota mpo na kozwa mokili na bango, kasi ezali solo mpo na mabe ya bikolo yango nde Yawe, Nzambe na yo, akobengana yango liboso na yo, mpo na kokokisa ndayi oyo alapaki epai ya bakoko na yo Abrayami, Izaki mpe Jakobi.
6 and thou hast known, that not for thy righteousness is Jehovah thy God giving to thee this good land to possess it, for a people stiff of neck thou [art].
Boye sosola malamu ete ezali te mpo na bosembo na yo nde Yawe, Nzambe na yo, azali kopesa yo mokili oyo ya malamu mpo ete okamata yango, pamba te yo mpe ozali libota ya batomboki.
7 'Remember — do not forget — that [with] which thou hast made Jehovah thy God wroth in the wilderness; even from the day that thou hast come out of the land of Egypt till your coming in unto this place rebels ye have been with Jehovah;
Kanisaka malamu likambo oyo mpe kobosanaka te ndenge nini opelisaki kanda ya Yawe, Nzambe na yo, kati na esobe: banda mokolo oyo bobimaki wuta na Ejipito kino bokomaki na esika oyo, bozalaki kaka kotosa Yawe te.
8 even in Horeb ye have made Jehovah wroth, and Jehovah sheweth Himself angry against you — to destroy you.
Na ngomba Orebi, bopesaki Yawe kanda makasi mpe asilikelaki bino makasi kino akomaki na posa ya kobebisa bino.
9 'In my going up into the mount to receive the tables of stone (tables of the covenant which Jehovah hath made with you), and I abide in the mount forty days and forty nights; bread I have not eaten, and water I have not drunk;
Tango namataki likolo ya ngomba mpo na kozwa bitando ya mabanga ya boyokani oyo Yawe asalaki elongo na bino, natikalaki likolo ya ngomba mikolo tuku minei mpe babutu tuku minei; naliaki lipa te mpe namelaki mayi te.
10 and Jehovah giveth unto me the two tables of stone written with the finger of God, and on them according to all the words which Jehovah hath spoken with you in the mount, out of the midst of the fire, in the day of the assembly.
Yawe apesaki ngai bitando mibale ya mabanga oyo mosapi ya Nzambe ekomaki. Na likolo na yango, ezali na mibeko nyonso Yawe oyo ayebisaki bino likolo ya ngomba longwa kati na moto, na mokolo oyo bosanganaki.
11 'And it cometh to pass, at the end of forty days and forty nights, Jehovah hath given unto me the two tables of stone — tables of the covenant,
Na suka ya mikolo tuku minei mpe babutu tuku minei, Yawe apesaki ngai bitando yango mibale ya mabanga ya boyokani.
12 and Jehovah saith unto me, Rise, go down, hasten from this, for thy people hath done corruptly, whom thou hast brought out of Egypt; they have turned aside hastily out of the way which I have commanded them — they have made to themselves a molten thing!
Bongo Yawe alobaki na ngai: « Kende, kita mbangu na ngomba oyo, pamba te bato na yo, oyo obimisaki na Ejipito bamikomisi mbindo; bapesi noki mokongo na mibeko oyo napesaki bango mpe bamisaleli ekeko ya ebende banyangwisa na moto. »
13 'And Jehovah speaketh unto me, saying, I have seen this people, and lo, a people stiff of neck it [is];
Mpe Yawe alobaki na ngai: « Natali malamu bato oyo; bazali penza libota ya batomboki!
14 desist from Me, and I destroy them, and blot out their name from under the heavens, and I make thee become a nation more mighty and numerous than it.
Tika Ngai kosala: nakobebisa bango mpe nakolimwisa bakombo na bango kati na mokili, kasi nakokomisa yo ekolo ya nguya mpe ya bato ebele koleka bango. »
15 'And I turn, and come down from the mount, and the mount is burning with fire, and the two tables of the covenant on my two hands,
Bongo nabalukaki mpe nakitaki wuta na ngomba oyo ekomaki kopela moto; nasimbaki na maboko na ngai bitando mibale ya mabanga ya boyokani.
16 and I see, and lo, ye have sinned against Jehovah your God; ye have made to yourselves a molten calf; ye have turned aside hastily out of the way which Jehovah hath commanded you.
Tango natalaki, namonaki ete bosalaki solo masumu epai na Yawe, Nzambe na bino: bomisalelaki ekeko ya mwana ngombe ya ebende banyangwisa na moto; bopengwaki noki na nzela oyo Yawe atindaki bino.
17 'And I lay hold on the two tables, and cast them out of my two hands, and break them before your eyes,
Boye, nazwaki bitando yango mibale ya mabanga, nabwakaki yango wuta na maboko na ngai mpe napanzaki yango na biteni na miso na bino.
18 and I throw myself before Jehovah, as at first, forty days and forty nights; bread I have not eaten, and water I have not drunk, because of all your sins which ye have sinned, by doing the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah, to make Him angry.
Bongo nakweyaki mbala moko liboso ya Yawe mikolo tuku minei mpe babutu tuku minei, naliaki lipa te mpe namelaki mayi te mpo na lisumu monene oyo bosalaki wana bosalaki mabe na miso ya Yawe mpe, na bongo, bopesaki Ye kanda.
19 'For I have been afraid because of the anger and the fury with which Jehovah hath been wroth against you, to destroy you; and Jehovah doth hearken unto me also at this time.
Nabangaki kanda mpe kotomboka ya Yawe, pamba te asilikelaki bino makasi kino akomaki na posa ya kobebisa bino; kasi Yawe ayokelaki ngai lisusu.
20 'And with Aaron hath Jehovah shewed himself very angry, to destroy him, and I pray also for Aaron at that time;
Yawe asilikelaki mpe Aron makasi kino alingaki koboma ye; kasi na tango wana, nabondelaki mpe mpo na Aron.
21 and your sin, which ye have made — the calf — I have taken, and I burn it with fire, and beat it, grinding well till that it [is] small as dust, and I cast its dust unto the brook which is going down out of the mount.
Nazwaki lisusu eloko oyo ememisaki bino masumu, ekeko ya mwana ngombe oyo bosalaki, natumbaki yango na moto, natutaki mpe nanikaki yango malamu kino ekomaki putulu; mpe nabwakaki putulu yango na mayi oyo ezalaki kotiola wuta na ngomba.
22 'And in Taberah, and in Massah, and in Kibroth-Hattaavah, ye have been making Jehovah wroth:
Na Tabeera, na Masa, na Kibiroti-Atava, bokobaki kaka kopesa Yawe kanda.
23 and in Jehovah's sending you from Kadesh-Barnea, saying, Go up, and possess the land which I have given to you, then ye provoke the mouth of Jehovah your God, and have not given credence to Him, nor hearkened to His voice;
Mpe tango Yawe alingaki ete bolongwa na Kadeshi-Barinea, apesaki bino mitindo: « Bokende! Bokamata mokili oyo napesi bino. » Kasi botosaki te mitindo ya Yawe, Nzambe na bino; botiaki elikya te kati na Ye mpe botosaki Ye te.
24 rebels ye have been with Jehovah from the day of my knowing you.
Wuta mokolo oyo nayeba bino, botikala te kotosa Yawe.
25 'And I throw myself before Jehovah, the forty days and the forty nights, as I had thrown myself, for Jehovah hath said — to destroy you;
Nakweyaki liboso ya Yawe mikolo tuku minei mpe babutu tuku minei, pamba te Yawe azalaki koloba ete akoboma bino.
26 and I pray unto Jehovah, and say, Lord Jehovah, destroy not Thy people, and Thine inheritance, whom Thou hast ransomed in Thy greatness; whom Thou hast brought out of Egypt with a strong hand;
Nabondelaki Yawe mpe nalobaki: « Nkolo Yawe, kobebisa bato na Yo te, bazali libula na Yo moko oyo osikolaki na nguya monene na Yo mpe obimisaki na Ejipito na loboko na Yo ya nguya.
27 be mindful of Thy servants, of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob, turn not unto the stiffness of this people, and unto its wickedness, and unto its sin;
Kanisa basali na Yo Abrayami, Izaki mpe Jakobi! Kotala te botomboki ya bato oyo, mabe na bango mpe masumu na bango;
28 lest the land say from which Thou hast brought us out, Because of Jehovah's want of ability to bring them in unto the land of which He hath spoken to them, and because of His hating them, He brought them out to put them to death in the wilderness;
noki te bato ya mokili oyo longwa kuna obimisaki biso, bakoloba: ‹ Ezali mpo ete Yawe azalaki na makoki te ya kokotisa bango na mokili oyo alakaki bango to ezali mpo ete azalaki koyina bango, yango wana abimisaki bango wuta na Ejipito mpo na koboma bango na esobe. ›
29 and they [are] Thy people, and Thine inheritance, whom Thou hast brought out by Thy great power, and by Thy stretched-out arm!
Nzokande bazali bato na Yo mpe libula na Yo, oyo obimisaki na nguya monene na Yo mpe na loboko na Yo ya nguya. »
