< Exodus 32 >

1 And the people see that Moses is delaying to come down from the mount, and the people assemble against Aaron, and say unto him, 'Rise, make for us gods who go before us, for this Moses — the man who brought us up out of the land of Egypt — we have not known what hath 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 And Aaron saith unto them, 'Break off the rings of gold which [are] in the ears of your wives, your sons, and your daughters, and bring in 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 themselves break off the rings of gold which [are] in their ears, and bring in unto Aaron,
Bato nyonso balongolaki biloko ya matoyi mpe bamemaki yango epai ya Aron.
4 and he receiveth from their hand, and doth fashion it with a graving tool, and doth make it a molten calf, and they say, 'These 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 Aaron seeth, and buildeth an altar before it, and Aaron calleth, and saith, 'A festival to Jehovah — to-morrow;'
Tango Aron amonaki yango, atongaki etumbelo liboso ya mwana ngombe mpe alobaki: — Feti ekozala lobi mpo na Yawe.
6 and they rise early on the morrow, and cause burnt-offerings to ascend, and bring nigh peace-offerings; and the people sit down to eat and to drink, and rise up to play.
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 And Jehovah saith unto Moses, 'Go, descend, for thy people whom thou hast brought up out of the land of Egypt hath done corruptly,
Yawe alobaki na Moyize: — Kita, pamba te bato na yo, oyo obimisaki na Ejipito babungi nzela,
8 they have turned aside hastily from the way that I have commanded them; they have made for themselves a molten calf, and bow themselves to it, and sacrifice to it, and say, These thy gods, O Israel, who 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 And Jehovah saith unto Moses, 'I have seen this people, and lo, it [is] a stiff-necked people;
Yawe alobaki lisusu na Moyize: — Namoni ete bato oyo bazali batomboki.
10 and now, let Me alone, and My anger doth burn against them, and I consume them, and I make thee become 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 appeaseth the face of Jehovah his God, and saith, 'Why, O Jehovah, doth Thine anger burn against Thy people, whom Thou hast brought forth out of the land of Egypt with great power and with a strong 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 do the Egyptians speak, saying, For evil He brought them out to slay them among mountains, and to consume them from off the face of the ground? turn back from the heat of Thine anger, and repent of the evil against 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 'Be mindful of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Israel, Thy servants, to whom Thou hast sworn by Thyself, and unto whom Thou speakest: I multiply your seed as stars of the heavens, and all this land, as I have said, I give to your seed, and they have inherited to the age;'
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 and Jehovah repenteth of the evil which He hath spoken of doing to His people.
Mpe Yawe asalaki lisusu te mabe oyo akanaki kosala bato na Ye.
15 And Moses turneth, and goeth down from the mount, and the two tables of the testimony [are] in his hand, tables written on both their sides, on this and on that [are] 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 and the tables are the work of God, and the writing is the writing of God, graven on 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 heareth the voice of the people in their shouting, and saith unto Moses, 'A noise of battle in the camp!'
Tango Jozue ayokaki makelele ya bato oyo bazalaki koganga, alobaki na Moyize: — Ezali na makelele ya bitumba kati na molako!
18 and he saith, 'It is not the voice of the crying of might, nor is it the voice of the crying of weakness — a voice of singing I am hearing.'
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 cometh to pass, when he hath drawn near unto the camp, that he seeth the calf, and the dancing, and the anger of Moses burneth, and he casteth out of his hands the tables, and breaketh them under the mount;
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 and he taketh the calf which they have made, and burneth [it] with fire, and grindeth until [it is] small, and scattereth on the face of the waters, and causeth the sons of Israel to 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 saith unto Aaron, 'What hath this people done to thee, that thou hast brought in upon it 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 saith, 'Let not the anger of my lord burn; thou — thou hast known the people that it [is] in evil;
Aron azongisaki: — Tika ete nkolo na ngai asilika te! Oyebi bato, balingaka kaka kosala mabe.
23 and they say to me, Make for us gods, who go before us, for this Moses — the man who brought us up out of the land of Egypt — we have not known what hath 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 and I say to them, Whoso hath gold, let them break [it] off, and they give to me, and I cast it into the fire, and this calf cometh out.'
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 seeth the people that it [is] unbridled, for Aaron hath made it unbridled for contempt among its withstanders,
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 and Moses standeth in the gate of the camp, and saith, 'Who [is] for Jehovah? — unto me!' and all the sons of Levi are gathered unto 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 and he saith to them, 'Thus said Jehovah, God of Israel, Put each his sword by his thigh, pass over and turn back from gate to gate through the camp, and slay each his brother, and each his friend, and each his relation.'
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 And the sons of Levi do according to the word of Moses, and there fall of 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 saith, 'Consecrate your hand to-day to Jehovah, for a man [is] against his son, and against his brother, so as to bring on 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 cometh to pass, on the morrow, that Moses saith unto the people, 'Ye — ye have sinned a great sin, and now I go up unto Jehovah, if so be I atone 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 And Moses turneth back unto Jehovah, and saith, 'Oh this people hath sinned a great sin, that they make to themselves a god of gold;
Moyize azongaki epai na Yawe mpe alobaki: — Ah! Tala lisumu monene bato oyo basali. Bamisalelaki nzambe ya wolo.
32 and now, if Thou takest away their sin — and 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 Jehovah saith unto Moses, 'Whoso hath sinned against Me — I blot him out of My book;
Yawe azongiselaki Moyize: — Moto nyonso oyo asalaki lisumu liboso na Ngai, ye nde nakolongola na buku na Ngai.
34 and now, go, lead the people whithersoever I have spoken to thee of; lo, My messenger goeth before thee, and in the day of my charging — then I have charged 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 Jehovah plagueth the people, because they made the calf which Aaron made.
Yawe apesaki bato etumbu likolo ya ekeko ya mwana ngombe oyo balobaki na Aron ete asala.
