Deteronomi 10
1 Na tango wana, Yawe alobaki na ngai: « Bongisa bitando mibale ya mabanga lokola oyo ya liboso mpe mata epai na ngai na likolo ya ngomba; okosala lisusu sanduku ya mabaya.
“At that time YHWH has said to me, Hew two tablets of stone for yourself like the first, and come up to Me into the mountain, and you have made an ark of wood for yourself,
2 Nakokoma na bitando yango maloba oyo ezalaki na likolo ya bitando ya mabanga ya liboso, oyo obukaki; mpe okotia bitando yango kati na sanduku. »
and I write on the tablets the words which were on the first tablets, which you have broken, and you have placed them in the Ark.
3 Boye nasalaki sanduku na mabaya ya nzete ya akasia mpe nabongisaki bitando mibale ya mabanga lokola oyo ya liboso. Namataki likolo ya ngomba, namemaki bitando mibale ya mabanga, na maboko na ngai.
And I make an ark of shittim wood, and hew two tablets of stone like the first, and go up to the mountain with the two tablets in my hand.
4 Yawe akomaki likolo ya bitando yango maloba oyo akomaki liboso: mibeko zomi oyo Yawe ayebisaki bino na likolo ya ngomba kati na moto, na mokolo ya mayangani; mpe Yawe apesaki ngai yango.
And He writes on the tablets according to the first writing, the Ten Commandments, which YHWH has spoken to you in the mountain, out of the midst of the fire, in the day of the assembly, and YHWH gives them to me,
5 Boye nakitaki wuta na ngomba mpe natiaki bitando yango mibale ya mabanga kati na sanduku oyo nasalaki ndenge Yawe atindaki ngai mpe ezali kuna sik’oyo.
and I turn and come down from the mountain, and put the tablets in the Ark which I had made, and they are there, as YHWH commanded me.
6 Bana ya Isalaele batambolaki wuta na mabulu ya mayi ya Bene-Yaakani kino na Mosera. Aron akufaki kuna mpe bakundaki ye. Mpe Eleazari, mwana na ye ya mobali, akitanaki na ye lokola Nganga-Nzambe.
And the sons of Israel have journeyed from Beeroth of the sons of Jaakan to Mosera; Aaron died there, and he is buried there, and his son Eleazar acts as priest in his stead.
7 Longwa wana, bakendeki na Gudigoda; sima bakendeki na Yotibata, mokili ya miluka ebele.
From there they journeyed to Gudgodah, and from Gudgodah to Jotbathah, a land of brooks of water.
8 Na tango wana, Yawe atiaki pembeni libota ya Levi mpo na komemaka Sanduku ya Boyokani ya Yawe, mpo na kotelemaka liboso ya Yawe, mpo na kosalaka mosala na Ye mpe mpo na kopambolaka bato na Kombo na Ye ndenge bazali kosala kino lelo.
At that time YHWH has separated the tribe of Levi to carry the Ark of the Covenant of YHWH, to stand before YHWH, to serve Him, and to bless in His Name to this day;
9 Yango wana, bana ya Levi bazali na ndambo ya mabele te to libula te kati na bandeko na bango: Yawe nde azali libula na bango, ndenge Yawe, Nzambe na bino, alobaki na bango.
therefore there has not been a portion and inheritance for Levi with his brothers; YHWH Himself [is] his inheritance, as your God YHWH has spoken to him.
10 Boye natikalaki likolo ya ngomba mikolo tuku minei mpe babutu tuku minei ndenge nasalaki na mbala ya liboso, mpe Yawe ayokelaki ngai na mbala oyo lisusu, pamba te kobebisa bino ezalaki mokano na Ye te.
And I have stood in the mountain, as the former days, [for] forty days and forty nights, and YHWH also listens to me at that time; YHWH has not willed to destroy you.
11 Na sima, Yawe alobaki na ngai: « Kende mpe kamba bato oyo mpo ete bakota mpe bakamata mokili oyo nalakaki kopesa epai na batata na bango na nzela ya ndayi. »
And YHWH says to me, Rise, go to journey before the people, and they go in and possess the land which I have sworn to their fathers to give to them.
12 Sik’oyo, Oh Isalaele, likambo nini Yawe, Nzambe na yo, azali kozela epai na yo? Yawe, Nzambe na yo, azali kozela ete otosa Yawe, Nzambe na yo, na kotambola na banzela na Ye nyonso, na kolinga Ye mpe kosalela Yawe, Nzambe na yo, na motema na yo mobimba mpe na molimo na yo mobimba,
And now, O Israel, what is your God YHWH asking from you, except to fear your God YHWH, to walk in all His ways, and to love Him, and to serve your God YHWH with all your heart and with all your soul,
13 mpe ete obatela mibeko mpe bikateli ya Yawe, oyo nazali kopesa yo na mokolo ya lelo mpo na bolamu na yo moko.
to keep the commands of YHWH, and His statutes which I am commanding you today, for good for you?
14 Yawe, Nzambe na yo, nde azali Nkolo ya likolo, ya likolo koleka likolo, ya mabele mpe ya nyonso oyo ezali kati na yango.
Behold, the heavens, even the heavens of the heavens, [belong] to your God YHWH, [as does] the earth and all that [is] in it.
15 Nzokande, Yawe alakisaki bolingo na Ye epai ya batata na bino mpe alingaki bango. Yango wana aponaki bino, bino bakitani na bango, kati na bikolo nyonso ndenge ezali lelo.
Only, YHWH has delighted in your fathers, to love them, and He fixes on their seed after them—on you, out of all the peoples, as [at] this day.
16 Bopetola mitema na bino, oyo etonda na masumu mpe botombokela lisusu Yawe te;
And you have circumcised the foreskin of your heart, and you do not harden your neck anymore.
17 pamba te Yawe, Nzambe na bino, azali Nzambe ya banzambe, Nkolo ya bankolo, Nzambe Monene, Nzambe ya nguya mpe ya somo, oyo aponaka bilongi te mpe azwaka kanyaka te,
For He, your God YHWH, [is] God of the gods and Lord of the lords—the great, the mighty, and the fearful God, who does not accept by appearances, nor takes a bribe;
18 abundelaka mwana etike mpe mwasi oyo akufisa mobali, alingaka mopaya mpe apesaka ye bilei mpe bilamba.
He is doing the judgment of fatherless and widow, and loving the sojourner, to give bread and raiment to him.
19 Bino mpe bosengeli kolinga bapaya, pamba te bino mpe bozalaki bapaya na Ejipito.
And you have loved the sojourner, for you were sojourners in the land of Egypt.
20 Tosa Yawe, Nzambe na yo, mpe salela Ye; kangama na Ye mpe lapaka ndayi na Kombo na Ye.
You fear your God YHWH, you serve Him, and you cleave to Him, and you swear by His Name.
21 Azali masanzoli na yo, azali Nzambe na yo, oyo asalelaka yo makambo minene mpe makambo ya somo oyo omonaki na miso na yo moko.
He [is] your praise, and He [is] your God, who has done these great and fearful [things] with you which your eyes have seen.
22 Bakoko na yo nyonso oyo bakendeki na Ejipito bazalaki tuku sambo; mpe sik’oyo, Yawe, Nzambe na yo, akomisi bino ebele lokola minzoto ya likolo.
Your fathers went down to Egypt with seventy persons, and now your God YHWH has made you as [the] stars of the heavens for multitude.”
