< Kobima 15 >

1 Moyize mpe bana ya Isalaele bayembaki loyembo oyo mpo na lokumu ya Yawe: Nakoyemba mpo na lokumu ya Yawe, mpo ete amonisi monene ya nkembo na Ye! Azindisi mpunda mpe motambolisi na yango kati na ebale monene.
Then sang Moses and the children of Israel this song unto the Lord, and thus did they say, I will sing unto the Lord, for he hath triumphed gloriously: the horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea.
2 Yawe azali makasi na ngai, azali solo loyembo na ngai, azali mobikisi na ngai, azali Nzambe na ngai, nakokumisa Ye; azali Nzambe ya tata na ngai, nakonetola Ye.
My strength and song is the Lord, and he is become my salvation: he is my God, and I will declare his praise, the God of my father, and I will exalt him.
3 Yawe azali elombe ya bitumba; Kombo na Ye ezali Yawe.
The Eternal is the Lord of war; the Eternal is his name.
4 Azindisi na ebale monene, bashar mpe mampinga ya Faraon; abwaki na ebale monene ya barozo, bakonzi mpe basoda oyo Faraon atielaka motema.
The chariots of Pharaoh and his host hath he hurled into the sea; and the chosen of his captains are sunk in the Red Sea.
5 Mozindo ya mayi ezipi bango, bakiti kino na se ya ebale monene lokola libanga.
The depths have covered them; they went down to the bottom as a stone.
6 Loboko na Yo ya mobali, oh Yawe, emonisi nguya na Yo; loboko na Yo ya mobali, oh Yawe, enyati monguna.
Thy right hand, O Lord, is become glorious in power; thy right hand, O Lord, hath dashed in pieces the enemy.
7 Na monene ya nguya na Yo, obebisi batelemeli na Yo; na kanda na Yo, otombokeli bango, mpe baziki lokola matiti.
And in the greatness of thy excellency hast thou overthrown those that rose up against thee; thou didst send forth thy wrath, it consumed them as stubble.
8 Na pema ya zolo na Yo, mayi ekabwani, bambonge etelemi lokola mir, mpe mozindo ya mayi ekangami kati na ebale monene.
And with the breath of thy nostrils the waters were heaped up together, the floods stood upright as a wall; congealed were the depths in the heart of the sea.
9 Monguna amilobelaki: « Nakolanda bango kino nakokanga bango, molimo na ngai ekotonda na biloko oyo nakobotola; nakobimisa mopanga na ngai, mpe loboko na ngai ekobebisa bango. »
The enemy said, I will pursue, I will overtake, I will divide the spoil; my desire shall be satisfied upon them; I will draw my sword, my hand shall destroy them.
10 Kasi Yo, Yawe, ofuli mopepe na Yo, mpe ebale monene ezipi bango. Bazindi lokola mbodi kati na mayi makasi.
Thou didst blow with thy wind, the sea covered them: they sunk as lead in mighty waters.
11 Oh Yawe, nani kati na banzambe azali lokola Yo? Nani azali lokola Yo, kitoko makasi kati na bosantu, somo, mpe abongi na lokumu, mpe asalaka makambo ya kokamwa?
Who is like unto thee, O Lord, among the mighty? who is like unto thee, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders?
12 Osembolaki loboko na Yo ya mobali, mpe mabele emeli bango.
Thou didst stretch out thy right hand, the earth swallowed them.
13 Na bolingo na Yo, otambolisi bato oyo okangoli. Na makasi na Yo, omemi bango na Ndako na Yo ya bule.
Thou leadest forth in thy kindness the people thou hast redeemed; thou guidest it in thy strength unto the habitation of thy holiness.
14 Bikolo eyoki sango na yango mpe ekomi kolenga, somo ekangaki bato ya Filisitia.
Nations hear it and tremble: sorrow seizeth the inhabitants of Palestine.
15 Bakambi ya Edomi bakomi na somo, bankumu ya Moabi bakomi kolenga, bato ya Kanana balembi nzoto.
Then were troubled the dukes of Edom; the mighty men of Moab, trembling seizeth them; faint-hearted become all the inhabitants of Canaan. l
16 Kobanga mpe somo ekweyeli bango. Na nguya ya loboko na Yo, bakomi bababa lokola libanga kino bato na Yo, oh Yawe, balekaki, kino bato oyo osikolaki balekaki.
Fear and dread shall fall upon them; by the greatness of thy arm they shall be still as a stone: till thy people pass over, O Lord, till this people pass over, which thou hast purchased.
17 Okomema bango mpe okovandisa bango na ngomba na Yo, esika oyo obongisaki, oh Nkolo, mpo na kovanda, Esika ya bule, oh Yawe, esika oyo maboko na Yo esalaki.
Thou wilt bring them, and plant them on the mountain of thy inheritance, the place, O Lord, which thou hast wrought for thy residence, the sanctuary, O Lord, which thy hands have established.
18 Yawe akotikala mokonzi libela na libela!
The Lord will reign for ever and ever.
19 Tango bampunda ya Faraon, bashar na ye elongo na bato oyo batambolisaka yango bamikotisaki kati na ebale monene, Yawe azongisaki mayi ya ebale monene likolo na bango. Nzokande bana ya Isalaele bakatisaki ebale monene lokola na esobe.
For the horse of Pharaoh went in with his chariots and with his horsemen into the sea, and the Lord brought again upon them the waters of the sea; but the children of Israel went on dry ground through the midst of the sea.
20 Miriami, mwasi mosakoli mpe ndeko mwasi ya Aron, azwaki mbunda moke na loboko na ye mpe basi nyonso balandaki ye; bazalaki kobeta bambunda mike mpe kobina.
Then took Miriam the prophetess, the sister of Aaron, a timbrel in her hand; and all the women went out after her with timbrels and with dances.
21 Miriami ayembaki elongo na bango: « Boyembela Yawe, pamba te amonisi monene ya nkembo na Ye; azindisi na ebale monene, mpunda mpe motambolisi na yango. »
And Miriam began her song to them, Sing ye to the Lord, for he hath triumphed gloriously: the horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea.
22 Moyize atambolisaki bana ya Isalaele wuta na ebale monene ya barozo mpe amemaki bango na nzela oyo ekenda na esobe ya Shuri. Batambolaki mikolo misato kati na esobe mpe bamonaki mayi te.
And Moses caused Israel to depart from the Red Sea, and they went out into the wilderness of Shur; and they went three days in the wilderness, and found no water.
23 Tango bakomaki na Mara epai wapi bamonaki mayi, bakokaki te komela mayi yango, pamba te ezalaki bololo. Yango wana babengaki esika yango Mara.
And they came to Marah; but they could not drink the waters of Marah, for they were bitter; therefore they called its name Marah.
24 Boye bato bayimaki-yimaki na tina na Moyize mpe balobaki: « Tokomela nini? »
And the people murmured against Moses, saying, What shall we drink?
25 Boye Moyize abelelaki Yawe, mpe Yawe alakisaki ye eteni ya nzete. Moyize abwakaki yango na mayi, mpe mayi ekomaki elengi mpo na komela. Ezalaki kuna nde Yawe apesaki bango bikateli, mibeko mpe amekaki bango.
And he cried unto the Lord; and the Lord showed him a tree, which he cast into the waters, and the waters were made sweet: there he made for them a statute and an ordinance, and there he proved them.
26 Alobaki: « Soki boyoki na bokebi mongongo na Yawe, Nzambe na bino, mpe bosali oyo ezali sembo na miso na Ye, soki bosali keba na malako na Ye mpe bobateli bikateli na Ye nyonso, nakotindela bino ata bokono moko te oyo natindelaki bato ya Ejipito; pamba te nazali Yawe oyo abikisaka bino na bokono. »
And he said, If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the Lord thy God, and wilt do that which is right in his eyes, and wilt give ear to his commandments, and wilt keep all his statutes: I will put none of those diseases upon thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians; for I the Lord am thy physician.
27 Bongo bana ya Isalaele bakomaki na Elimi epai wapi bitima zomi na mibale mpe banzete ya mbila tuku sambo ezalaki. Ezalaki kuna nde batongaki molako na bango, pene ya mayi.
And they came to Elim, and there were twelve wells of water, and seventy palm-trees: and they encamped there by the water.
