Kobima 20
1 Tala maloba oyo Nzambe alobaki:
And God said all these words:
2 « Nazali Yawe, Nzambe na yo, oyo abimisaki yo wuta na mokili ya Ejipito epai wapi ozalaki na bowumbu.
I am the Lord your God who took you out of the land of Egypt, out of the prison-house.
3 Okozalaka na banzambe mosusu te, bobele Ngai.
You are to have no other gods but me.
4 Okomisalelaka te nzambe ya ekeko to bililingi ya biloko oyo ezali na likolo, na se to na mayi oyo ezali na se ya mabele.
You are not to make an image or picture of anything in heaven or on the earth or in the waters under the earth:
5 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.
You may not go down on your faces before them or give them worship: for I, the Lord your God, am a God who will not give his honour to another; and I will send punishment on the children for the wrongdoing of their fathers, to the third and fourth generation of my haters;
6 Kasi natalisaka bolingo na Ngai kino na molongo ya nkoto epai ya bato oyo balingaka Ngai mpe babatelaka mibeko na Ngai.
And I will have mercy through a thousand generations on those who have love for me and keep my laws.
7 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.
You are not to make use of the name of the Lord your God for an evil purpose; whoever takes the Lord's name on his lips for an evil purpose will be judged a sinner by the Lord
8 Kanisaka mokolo ya Saba mpe bulisaka yango.
Keep in memory the Sabbath and let it be a holy day.
9 Okosalaka misala na yo nyonso mikolo motoba.
On six days do all your work:
10 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, bibwele na yo to mopaya oyo azali kati na bingumba na yo.
But the seventh day is a Sabbath to the Lord your God; on that day you are to do no work, you or your son or your daughter, your man-servant or your woman-servant, your cattle or the man from a strange country who is living among you:
11 Pamba te na mikolo motoba, Yawe asalaki Likolo, mabele, ebale monene mpe nyonso oyo ezali kati na yango, kasi akataki mosala na mokolo ya sambo. Yango wana, Yawe apambolaki mokolo ya Saba mpe abulisaki yango.
For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, and the sea, and everything in them, and he took his rest on the seventh day: for this reason the Lord has given his blessing to the seventh day and made it holy.
12 Okopesaka tata na yo mpe mama na yo lokumu mpo ete ozala na bomoi ya molayi kati na mokili oyo Yawe, Nzambe na yo, azali kopesa yo.
Give honour to your father and to your mother, so that your life may be long in the land which the Lord your God is giving you.
13 Okobomaka te.
Do not put anyone to death without cause.
14 Okosalaka ekobo te.
Do not be false to the married relation.
15 Okoyibaka te.
Do not take the property of another.
16 Okolobaka te matatoli ya lokuta mpo na kokosela moninga na yo makambo.
Do not give false witness against your neighbour.
17 Okolulaka te ndako ya moninga na yo; okolulaka te mwasi ya moninga na yo, 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. »
Let not your desire be turned to your neighbour's house, or his wife or his man-servant or his woman-servant or his ox or his ass or anything which is his.
18 Tango bato bayokaki bakake mpe koganga ya kelelo, mpe bamonaki mikalikali mpe milinga kobima na ngomba, balengaki. Batelemaki mosika
And all the people were watching the thunderings and the flames and the sound of the horn and the mountain smoking; and when they saw it, they kept far off, shaking with fear.
19 mpe balobaki na Moyize: — Tika ete yo moko oloba na biso, mpe tokoyoka yo; kasi Nzambe te, noki te tokokufa!
And they said to Moses, To your words we will give ear, but let not the voice of God come to our ears, for fear death may come on us.
20 Moyize azongiselaki bango: — Bobanga te! Nzambe ayei nde komeka bino mpo ete kobanga Nzambe ezala kati na bino mpe bosala masumu te.
And Moses said to the people, Have no fear: for God has come to put you to the test, so that fearing him you may be kept from sin.
21 Bato bazalaki kaka mosika, wana Moyize apusanaki pembeni ya lipata oyo kati na yango Nzambe azalaki.
And the people kept their places far off, but Moses went near to the dark cloud where God was.
22 Yawe alobaki na Moyize: — Yebisa makambo oyo epai ya bana ya Isalaele: « Bomonaki bino moko ndenge nini nalobelaki bino wuta na likolo.
And the Lord said to Moses, Say to the children of Israel, You yourselves have seen that my voice has come to you from heaven
23 Bokomisalela te banzambe ya bikeko ya palata to ya wolo, mpo na kosangisa yango na Ngai.
Gods of silver and gods of gold you are not to make for yourselves.
24 Okotongela Ngai etumbelo ya mabele epai wapi okobonza bambeka na yo ya kotumba, bambeka na yo ya boyokani, meme na yo, ntaba na yo, ngombe na yo. Esika nyonso oyo nakomimonisa mpo na lokumu ya Kombo na Ngai, nakoya epai na yo mpe nakopambola yo.
Make for me an altar of earth, offering on it your burned offerings and your peace-offerings, your sheep and your oxen: in every place where I have put the memory of my name, I will come to you and give you my blessing.
25 Soki otongeli Ngai etumbelo ya mabanga, okotonga yango te na mabanga oyo bakata; pamba te soki okati yango, okobebisa bosantu na yango.
And if you make me an altar of stone do not make it of cut stones: for the touch of an instrument will make it unclean.
26 Okomata te na etumbelo na Ngai na ematelo mpo ete bolumbu na yo emonana te. »
And do not go up by steps to my altar, for fear that your bodies may be seen uncovered.
