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 the LORD said unto me, Hew thee two tables of stone like unto the first, and come up unto me into the mount, and make thee an ark of wood.
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 will write on the tables the words that were on the first tables which thou brakest, and thou shalt put 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.
So I made an ark of acacia wood, and hewed two tables of stone like unto the first, and went up into the mount, having the two tables in mine 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 wrote on the tables, according to the first writing, the ten commandments, which the LORD spake unto you in the mount out of the midst of the fire in the day of the assembly: and the LORD gave them unto 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 turned and came down from the mount, and put the tables in the ark which I had made; and there they be, as the LORD 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 children of Israel journeyed from Beeroth Bene-jaakan to Moserah: there Aaron died, and there he was buried; and Eleazar his son ministered in the priest’s office in his stead.
7 Longwa wana, bakendeki na Gudigoda; sima bakendeki na Yotibata, mokili ya miluka ebele.
From thence they journeyed unto 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 the LORD separated the tribe of Levi, to bear the ark of the covenant of the LORD, to stand before the LORD to minister unto him, and to bless in his name, unto 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.
Wherefore Levi hath no portion nor inheritance with his brethren; the LORD is his inheritance, according as the LORD thy God spake unto 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 stayed in the mount, as at the first time, forty days and forty nights: and the LORD hearkened unto me that time also; the LORD would not destroy thee.
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 the LORD said unto me, Arise, take thy journey before the people; and they shall go in and possess the land, which I sware unto their fathers to give unto 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, Israel, what doth the LORD thy God require of thee, but to fear the LORD thy God, to walk in all his ways, and to love him, and to serve the LORD thy God with all thy heart and with all thy 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 commandments of the LORD, and his statutes, which I command thee this day for thy good?
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, unto the LORD thy God belongeth the heaven, and the heaven of heavens, the earth, with all that therein is.
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 the LORD had a delight in thy fathers to love them, and he chose their seed after them, even you above all peoples, as at this day.
16 Bopetola mitema na bino, oyo etonda na masumu mpe botombokela lisusu Yawe te;
Circumcise therefore the foreskin of your heart, and be no more stiffnecked.
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 the LORD your God, he is God of gods, and Lord of lords, the great God, the mighty, and the terrible, which regardeth not persons, nor taketh reward.
18 abundelaka mwana etike mpe mwasi oyo akufisa mobali, alingaka mopaya mpe apesaka ye bilei mpe bilamba.
He doth execute the judgment of the fatherless and widow, and loveth the stranger, in giving him food and raiment.
19 Bino mpe bosengeli kolinga bapaya, pamba te bino mpe bozalaki bapaya na Ejipito.
Love ye therefore the stranger: for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt.
20 Tosa Yawe, Nzambe na yo, mpe salela Ye; kangama na Ye mpe lapaka ndayi na Kombo na Ye.
Thou shalt fear the LORD thy God; him shalt thou serve; and to him shalt thou cleave, and by his name shalt thou swear.
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 thy praise, and he is thy God, that hath done for thee these great and terrible things, which thine 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.
Thy fathers went down into Egypt with threescore and ten persons; and now the LORD thy God hath made thee as the stars of heaven for multitude.
