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, O Israel, the ceremonies and judgments, which I speak in your ears this day: learn them, and fulfill them in work.
2 Yawe, Nzambe na biso, asalaki boyokani elongo na biso elongo na ngomba Orebi.
The Lord our God made a covenant with us in Horeb.
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.
He made not the covenant with our fathers, but with us, who are now present and living.
4 Yawe alobaki na bino kati na moto likolo ya ngomba ndenge moto alobanaka na moto miso na miso.
He spoke to us face to face in the mount out of the midst of 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:
I was the mediator and stood between the Lord and you at that time, to shew you his words, for you feared the fire, and went not up into the mountain, and he said:
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 not have strange gods in my sight.
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 a graven thing, nor the likeness of any things, that are in heaven above, or that are in the earth beneath, or that abide 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 adore them, and thou shalt not serve them. For I am the Lord thy God, a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon their children unto 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 shewing mercy unto many thousands, to them that love me, and 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 he shall not be unpunished that taketh his name upon a vain thing.
12 Kanisaka mokolo ya Saba mpe bulisaka yango, ndenge Yawe, Nzambe na yo, atindaki yo yango.
Observe the day of the sabbath, to sanctify it, as the Lord thy God hath commanded thee.
13 Okosalaka misala na yo nyonso mikolo motoba.
Six days shalt thou labour, and 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.
The seventh is the day of the sabbath, that is, the rest of the Lord thy God. Thou shalt not do any work therein, thou nor thy son nor thy daughter, nor thy manservant nor thy maidservant, nor thy ox, nor thy ass, nor any of thy beasts, nor the stranger that is within thy gates: that thy manservant and thy maidservant may rest, even as thyself.
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.
Remember that thou also didst serve in Egypt, and the Lord thy God brought thee out from thence with a strong hand, and a stretched out arm. Therefore hath he commanded thee that thou shouldst observe the sabbath day.
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 mother, as the Lord thy God hath commanded thee, that thou mayst live a long time, and it may be well with thee in the land, which the Lord thy God will give thee.
17 Okobomaka te.
Thou shalt not kill.
18 Okosalaka ekobo te.
Neither shalt thou commit adultery.
19 Okoyibaka te.
And thou shalt not steal.
20 Okolobaka te matatoli ya lokuta mpo na kokosela moninga na yo makambo.
Neither shalt thou 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: nor his house, nor his field, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is his.
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 multitude of you in the mountain, out of the midst of the fire and the cloud, and the darkness, with a loud voice, adding nothing more: and he wrote them in two tables of stone, which he delivered unto 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.
But you, after you heard the voice out of the midst of the darkness, and saw the mountain burn, came to me, all the princes of the tribes and the elders, and you said:
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.
Behold the Lord our God hath shewn us his majesty and his greatness, we have heard his voice out of the midst of the fire, and have proved this day that God speaking with man, man hath lived.
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.
Why shall we die therefore, and why shall this exceeding great Are consume us: for if we hear the voice of the Lord our God any more, 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?
What is all flesh, that it should hear the voice of the living God, who speaketh out of the midst of the fire, as we have heard, and be able to 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. »
Approach thou rather: and hear all things that the Lord our God shall say to thee, and thou shalt speak to us, and we will hear and will do them.
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 when the Lord had heard this, he said to me: I have heard the voice of the words of this people, which they spoke to thee: they have spoken all things well.
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!
Who shall give them to have such a mind, to fear me, and to keep all my commandments at all times, that it may be well with them and with their children for ever?
30 Kende, yebisa bango: ‹ Bozonga na bandako na bino. ›
Go and say to them: Return into your tents.
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 speak to thee all my commandments, and ceremonies and judgments: which thou shalt teach them, that they may do them in the land, which I will give them for a possession.
32 Yango wana, bosala keba na oyo nyonso Yawe, Nzambe na bino, atindi bino; bobaluka te ezala na ngambo moko to na ngambo mosusu.
Keep therefore and do the things which the Lord God hath commanded you: you shall not go aside neither to the right hand, nor 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.
But you shall walk in the way that the Lord your God hath commanded, that you may live, and it may be well with you, and your days may be long in the land of your possession.
