Kobima 19
1 Sanza misato sima na bana ya Isalaele kobima na Ejipito, kaka na mokolo yango, bana ya Isalaele bakomaki na esobe ya Sinai.
And in the third month of the departure of the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt, on the same day, they came into the wilderness of Sina.
2 Tango balongwaki na Refidimi, bakotaki na esobe ya Sinai, mpe Isalaele atongaki kuna kati na esobe molako etalana na ngomba.
And they departed from Raphidin, and came into the wilderness of Sina, and there Israel encamped before the mountain.
3 Moyize amataki na ngomba mpo na kosolola na Nzambe; mpe wuta na likolo ya ngomba, Yawe abengaki ye mpe alobaki na ye: — Tala makambo oyo okoyebisa bakitani ya Jakobi mpe oyo okotalisa na bana ya Isalaele:
And Moses went up to the mount of God, and God called him out of the mountain, saying, These things shall you say to the house of Jacob, and you shall report them to the children of Israel.
4 « Bomonaki bino moko ndenge nini nasalaki bato ya Ejipito mpe ndenge nini namemaki bino lokola na mapapu ya mpongo kino epai na Ngai.
You have seen all that I have done to the Egyptians, and I took you up as upon eagles' wings, and I brought you near to myself.
5 Soki botosi Ngai penza mpe bobateli boyokani na Ngai, bokozala mpo na Ngai ekolo ya motuya kati na bikolo nyonso. Atako mokili mobimba ezali ya Ngai,
And now if you will indeed hear my voice, and keep my covenant, you shall be to me a peculiar people above all nations; for the whole earth is mine.
6 kasi bino bokozala mpo na Ngai ekolo oyo ekosala mosala ya bonganga-Nzambe, ekolo ya bule. » Oyo nde maloba okoyebisa bana ya Isalaele.
And you shall be to me a royal priesthood and a holy nation: these words shall you speak to the children of Israel.
7 Moyize azongaki, abengisaki bakambi ya Isalaele mpe ayebisaki bango maloba nyonso oyo Yawe atindaki ye koloba.
And Moses came and called the elders of the people, and he set before them all these words, which God appointed them.
8 Bato nyonso bazongisaki lokola moto moko: — Tokosala nyonso oyo Yawe alobi. Bongo Moyize amemaki eyano na bango epai na Yawe.
And all the people answered with one accord, and said, All things that God has spoken, we will do and listen to: and Moses reported these words to God.
9 Yawe alobaki na Moyize: — Nazali koya epai na yo kati na lipata monene, mpo ete bana ya Isalaele bayoka tango nakosolola na yo mpe mpo ete batia tango nyonso elikya na bango epai na yo. Moyize ayebisaki Yawe makambo nyonso oyo bana ya Isalaele balobaki.
And the Lord said to Moses, Behold! I come to you in a pillar of a cloud, that the people may hear me speaking to you, and may believe you for ever: and Moses reported the words of the people to the Lord.
10 Yawe alobaki na Moyize: — Kende epai ya bato, bulisa bango lelo mpe lobi, bongo yebisa bango ete basukola bilamba na bango;
And the Lord said to Moses, Go down and solemnly charge the people, and sanctify them today and to-morrow, and let them wash their garments.
11 bamibongisa mpo na mokolo ya misato, pamba te na mokolo wana nde Ngai Yawe, nakokita na likolo ya ngomba Sinai, na miso ya bana nyonso ya Isalaele.
And let them be ready against the third day, for on the third day the Lord will descend upon mount Sina before all the people.
12 Okotia bandelo zingazinga ya ngomba mpo na bato mpe okoyebisa bango: « Bosala keba ete bomata te na ngomba oyo mpe bopusana te pembeni na yango. Moto nyonso oyo akotuta yango akokufa penza.
And you shall separate the people round about, saying, Take heed to yourselves that you go not up into the mountain, nor touch any part of it: every one that touches the mountain shall surely die.
13 Soki moto moko abuki mobeko oyo, bakosimba ye te, kasi bakoboma ye na mabanga to bakotobola ye likonga; ezala moto to nyama, asengeli kokufa. Kaka soki lokito ya liseke ya meme eyokani makasi nde ndambo ya bato bakomata na ngomba. »
A hand shall not touch it, for [every one that touches] shall be stoned with stones or shot through with a dart, whether beast or whether man, it shall not live: when the voices and trumpets and cloud depart from off the mountain, they shall come up on the mountain.
14 Moyize alongwaki na ngomba, akendeki epai ya bana ya Isalaele, abulisaki bango, mpe basukolaki bilamba na bango.
And Moses went down from the mountain to the people, and sanctified them, and they washed their clothes.
15 Moyize alobaki na bango: — Bomilengela mpo na mokolo ya misato, bosangisa nzoto te na basi na bino.
And he said to the people, Be ready: for three days come not near to a woman.
16 Na tongo ya mokolo ya misato, bakake ebetaki, mikalikali ezalaki kongenga, mpe lipata monene ezipaki ngomba; bongo bato bayokaki bakelelo kobeta makasi. Bato nyonso kati na molako balengaki.
And it came to pass on the third day, as the morning drew near, there were voices and lightnings and a dark cloud on mount Sina: the voice of the trumpet sounded loud, and all the people in the camp trembled.
17 Moyize abimisaki bato mpo ete bakende kokutana na Nzambe, na libanda ya molako. Mpe bato batelemaki na ebandeli ya ngomba.
And Moses led the people forth out of the camp to meet God, and they stood by under the camp.
18 Milinga ezipaki ngomba Sinai mpo ete Yawe akitaki na likolo na yango na lolenge ya moto, bongo milinga yango ezalaki komata lokola milinga oyo ebimaka na fulu ya moto. Mpe ngomba nyonso eninganaki makasi.
The mount of Sina was altogether on a smoke, because God had descended upon it in fire; and the smoke went up as the smoke of a furnace, and the people were exceedingly amazed.
19 Mongongo ya kelelo ezalaki kaka komata se komata. Boye Moyize abandaki koloba na Nzambe, mpe Nzambe azalaki koyanola ye na lokito ya kake.
And the sounds of the trumpet were waxing very much louder. Moses spoke, and God answered him with a voice.
20 Yawe akitaki na likolo ya ngomba Sinai mpe abengaki Moyize mpo ete amata na songe ya ngomba yango. Boye Moyize amataki.
And the Lord came down upon mount Sina on the top of the mountain; and the Lord called Moses to the top of the mountain, and Moses went up.
21 Yawe alobaki na Moyize: — Kita mpe kebisa bato ete baleka bandelo te mpo na koluka komona Ngai Yawe, noki te mingi kati na bango bakokufa.
And God spoke to Moses, saying, Go down, and solemnly charge the people, lest at any time they draw near to God to gaze, and a multitude of them fall.
22 Ezala Banganga-Nzambe oyo basengeli kopusana pene na Ngai, basengeli komibulisa; noki te Ngai Yawe, nakoboma bango.
And let the priests that draw near to the Lord God sanctify themselves, destroy some of them.
23 Moyize alobaki na Yawe: — Bato ya Isalaele bakoki te komata na ngomba Sinai, pamba te Yo moko oyebisaki biso ete totia bandelo zingazinga ya ngomba mpe tomona yango lokola bule.
And Moses said to God, The people will not be able to approach to the mount of Sina, for you have solemnly charged us, saying, Set bounds to the mountain and sanctify it.
24 Yawe azongiselaki ye: — Kita lisusu; bongo omata elongo na Aron. Kasi mpo na Banganga-Nzambe mpe bana ya Isalaele, tika ete bawelela komata te epai na Ngai Yawe, noki te nakoboma bango.
And the Lord said to him, Go, descend, and come up you and Aaron with you; but let not the priests and the people force their way to come up to God, lest the Lord destroy some of them.
25 Moyize akitaki, akendeki epai ya bana ya Isalaele mpe ayebisaki bango makambo oyo Yawe alobaki.
And Moses went down to the people, and spoke to them.
