Deteronomi 5
1 Moyize abengisaki Isalaele mobimba mpe alobaki: « Oh Isalaele, yoka malamu bikateli mpe mibeko oyo nakoyebisa yo lelo. Yekola yango, batela yango mpe salela yango.
And Moses called all Israel, and said to them, Hear, Israel, the ordinances and judgments, all that I speak in your ears this day, and ye shall learn them, and observe to do them.
2 Yawe, Nzambe na biso, asalaki boyokani elongo na biso elongo na ngomba Orebi.
The Lord your God made a covenant with you in Choreb.
3 Yawe asalaki te boyokani oyo na bakoko na biso kasi asalaki yango nde na biso, biso nyonso oyo tozali na bomoi awa na mokolo ya lelo.
The Lord did not make this covenant with your fathers, but with you: ye are all here alive this day.
4 Yawe alobaki na bino kati na moto likolo ya ngomba ndenge moto alobanaka na moto miso na miso.
The Lord spoke to you face to face in the mountain out of the midst of the fire.
5 Na tango wana, natelemaki kati ya Yawe mpe bino mpo na koyebisa bino maloba na Yawe, pamba te bozalaki kobanga moto mpe bomataki te likolo ya ngomba. Tala maloba oyo alobaki:
And I stood between the Lord and you at that time to report to you the words of the Lord, (because ye were afraid before the fire, and ye went not up to the mountain) saying,
6 ‹ Nazali Yawe, Nzambe na yo, oyo abimisaki yo wuta na mokili ya Ejipito epai wapi ozalaki na bowumbu.
I am the Lord thy God, who brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
7 Okozalaka na banzambe mosusu te, bobele Ngai.
Thou shalt have no other gods before my face.
8 Okomisalelaka te nzambe ya ekeko to bililingi ya biloko oyo ezali na likolo, na se to na mayi oyo ezali na se ya mabele.
Thou shalt not make to thyself an image, nor likeness of any thing, whatever things [are] in the heaven above, and whatever [are] in the earth beneath, and whatever [are] in the waters under the earth.
9 Okogumbamelaka yango te mpe okosalelaka yango te, pamba te Ngai Yawe, Nzambe na yo, nazali Nzambe ya zuwa; napesaka bana etumbu mpo na masumu ya batata kino na molongo ya misato mpe ya minei ya bato oyo bayinaka Ngai.
Thou shalt not bow down to them, nor shalt thou serve them; for I am the Lord thy God, a jealous God, visiting the sins of the fathers upon the children to the third and fourth generation to them that hate me,
10 Kasi natalisaka bolingo na Ngai kino na molongo ya nkoto epai ya bato oyo balingaka Ngai mpe babatelaka mibeko na Ngai.
and doing mercifully to thousands of them that love me, and that keep my commandments.
11 Okotangaka te na pamba Kombo ya Yawe, Nzambe na yo, pamba te Yawe akopesa etumbu na moto nyonso oyo akotanga Kombo na Ye na pamba.
Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain, for the Lord thy God will certainly not acquit him that takes his name in vain.
12 Kanisaka mokolo ya Saba mpe bulisaka yango, ndenge Yawe, Nzambe na yo, atindaki yo yango.
Keep the sabbath day to sanctify it, as the Lord thy God commanded thee.
13 Okosalaka misala na yo nyonso mikolo motoba.
Six days thou shalt work, and thou shalt do all thy works;
14 Kasi mokolo ya sambo ezali mokolo ya Saba ya Yawe, Nzambe na yo. Na mokolo wana, okosalaka mosala ata moko te, ezala yo, mwana na yo ya mobali, mwana na yo ya mwasi, mowumbu na yo ya mobali, mwasi mowumbu na yo, ngombe na yo, ane na yo, ebwele moko kati na bibwele na yo to mopaya oyo azali kati na bingumba na yo, mpo ete mosali na yo ya mobali mpe mwasi mosali na yo ya mwasi bakoka kopema ndenge yo ozali kopema.
but on the seventh day [is] the sabbath of the Lord thy God: thou shalt do in it no work, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, thy man-servant, and thy maid-servant, thine ox, and thine ass, and all thy cattle, and the stranger that sojourns in the midst of thee; that thy man-servant may rest, and thy maid, and thine ox, as well as thou.
15 Kanisa ete bozalaki bawumbu na Ejipito, mpe Yawe, Nzambe na bino, abimisaki bino kuna na loboko na Ye ya nguya mpe na loboko na Ye ya kosembolama. Yango wana, Yawe, Nzambe na yo, apesi yo mitindo ete otosa mokolo ya Saba.
And thou shalt remember that thou wast a slave in the land of Egypt, and the Lord thy God brought thee out thence with a mighty hand, and a high arm: therefore the Lord appointed thee to keep the sabbath day and to sanctify it.
16 Okopesaka tata na yo mpe mama na yo lokumu, ndenge Yawe, Nzambe na yo, atindaki yo mpo ete ozala na bomoi ya molayi, mpe ozala moto ya esengo kati na mokili oyo Yawe, Nzambe na yo, azali kopesa yo.
Honour thy father and thy mother, as the Lord thy God commanded thee; that it may be well with thee, and that thou mayest live long upon the land, which the Lord thy God gives thee.
17 Okobomaka te.
Thou shalt not commit murder.
18 Okosalaka ekobo te.
Thou shalt not commit adultery.
19 Okoyibaka te.
Thou shalt not steal.
20 Okolobaka te matatoli ya lokuta mpo na kokosela moninga na yo makambo.
Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.
21 Okolulaka te mwasi ya moninga na yo; okolulaka te ndako ya moninga na yo, elanga na ye, mowumbu na ye ya mobali to mwasi mowumbu na ye, ngombe na ye, ane na ye to eloko nyonso oyo ezali ya moninga na yo. › »
Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife; thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house, nor his field, nor his man-servant, nor his maid, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any beast of his, nor any thing that is thy neighbour's.
22 Oyo nde mibeko oyo Yawe alobaki na mongongo makasi kati na moto epai ya lisanga mobimba oyo ezalaki likolo ya ngomba kati na mapata mpe molili makasi; mpe abakisaki ata likambo moko te. Bongo akomaki yango na bitando mibale ya mabanga mpe apesaki ngai yango.
These words the Lord spoke to all the assembly of you in the mountain out of the midst of the fire—[there was] darkness, blackness, storm, a loud voice—and he added no more, and he wrote them on two tables of stone, and he gave them to me.
23 Tango boyokaki mongongo kobima kati na molili, wana ngomba ezalaki kopela moto, bakambi nyonso ya mabota na bino mpe bampaka na bino bayaki epai na ngai.
And it came to pass when ye heard the voice out of the midst of the fire, for the mountain burned with fire, that ye came to me, even all the heads of your tribes, and your elders:
24 Balobaki: « Yawe, Nzambe na biso, alakisi biso nkembo na Ye mpe lokumu na Ye; mpe toyoki mongongo na Ye wuta na moto. Lelo, tomoni ete moto akoki kozala na bomoi ata soki Nzambe asololi na ye.
and ye said, Behold, the Lord our God has shewn us his glory, and we have heard his voice out of the midst of the fire: this day we have seen that God shall speak to man, and he shall live.
25 Kasi sik’oyo mpo na nini tokufa kaka boye? Moto ya monene oyo ekoki kozikisa biso mpe koboma biso soki tokobi koyoka mongongo na Yawe, Nzambe na biso, kolobela biso.
And now let us not die, for this great fire will consume us, if we shall hear the voice of the Lord our God any more, and we shall die.
26 Pamba te nani kati na mokili akoki koyoka mongongo ya Nzambe na bomoi koloba kati na moto ndenge biso toyokaki bongo atikala na bomoi?
For what flesh [is there] which has heard the voice of the living God, speaking out of the midst of the fire, as we [have heard], and shall live?
27 Pusana pembeni mpe yoka makambo nyonso oyo Yawe, Nzambe na biso, akoloba; bongo na sima, okoyebisa biso makambo nyonso oyo Yawe, Nzambe na biso, akoloba na yo; mpe biso tokoyoka mpe tokotosa yango. »
Do thou draw near, and hear all that the Lord our God shall say, and thou shalt speak to us all things whatsoever the Lord our God shall speak to thee, and we will hear, and do.
28 Yawe ayokaki bino tango boyebisaki ngai mpe alobaki na ngai: « Nayoki makambo oyo bato oyo balobi na yo. Nyonso oyo balobi ezali malamu.
And the Lord heard the voice of your words as ye spoke to me; and the Lord said to me, I have heard the voice of the words of this people, even all things that they have said to thee. [They have] well [said] all that they have spoken.
29 Oh, soki mitema na bango ezalaki penza ya kobongama mpo na kobanga Ngai mpe kobatela mibeko na Ngai tango nyonso, mpo ete bakoka kozala tango nyonso malamu elongo na bana na bango!
O that there were such a heart in them, that they should fear me and keep my commands always, that it might be well with them and with their sons for ever.
30 Kende, yebisa bango: ‹ Bozonga na bandako na bino. ›
Go, say to them, Return ye to your houses;
31 Kasi yo, vanda awa elongo na Ngai mpo ete napesa yo mibeko nyonso, bikateli nyonso, mpe mitindo nyonso oyo okoteya bango mpo ete basalela yango kati na mokili oyo nakopesa bango lokola libula. »
but stand thou here with me, and I will tell thee all the commands, and the ordinances, and the judgments, which thou shalt teach them, and let them do so in the land which I give them for an inheritance.
32 Yango wana, bosala keba na oyo nyonso Yawe, Nzambe na bino, atindi bino; bobaluka te ezala na ngambo moko to na ngambo mosusu.
And ye shall take heed to do as the Lord thy God commanded thee; ye shall not turn aside to the right hand or to the left,
33 Botambola na banzela nyonso oyo Yawe, Nzambe na bino, atindaki bino mpo ete bozala na bomoi, mpo ete bozala bato ya esengo, mpe mpo ete bobakisa mikolo ya bomoi na bino kati na mokili oyo bokokamata.
according to all the way which the Lord thy God commanded thee to walk in it, that he may give thee rest; and that it may be well with thee, and ye may prolong your days on the land which ye shall inherit.
