Kobima 20
1 Tala maloba oyo Nzambe alobaki:
And the Lord spoke all these words, saying:
2 « 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.
3 Okozalaka na banzambe mosusu te, bobele Ngai.
Thou shalt have no other gods beside 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.
Thou shalt not make to thyself an idol, nor likeness of anything, whatever things are in the heaven above, and whatever are in the earth beneath, and whatever are 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.
Thou shalt not bow down to them, nor serve them; for I am the Lord thy God, a jealous God, recompensing the sins of the fathers upon the children, to the third and fourth generation to them that hate me,
6 Kasi natalisaka bolingo na Ngai kino na molongo ya nkoto epai ya bato oyo balingaka Ngai mpe babatelaka mibeko na Ngai.
and bestowing mercy on them that love me to thousands [of them], and on them that keep my commandments.
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.
Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain; for the Lord thy God will not acquit him that takes his name in vain.
8 Kanisaka mokolo ya Saba mpe bulisaka yango.
Remember the sabbath day to keep it holy.
9 Okosalaka misala na yo nyonso mikolo motoba.
Six days thou shalt labour, and shalt perform all thy 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 on the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord thy God; on it thou shalt do no work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy servant nor thy maidservant, thine ox nor thine ass, nor any cattle of thine, nor the stranger that sojourns with thee.
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 the heaven and the earth, and the sea and all things in them, and rested on the seventh day; therefore the Lord blessed the seventh day, and hallowed it.
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.
Honour thy father and thy mother, that it may be well with thee, and that thou mayest live long on the good land, which the Lord thy God gives to thee.
13 Okobomaka te.
Thou shalt not commit adultery.
14 Okosalaka ekobo te.
Thou shalt not steal.
15 Okoyibaka te.
Thou shalt not kill.
16 Okolobaka te matatoli ya lokuta mpo na kokosela moninga na yo makambo.
Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy 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. »
Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife; thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house; nor his field, nor his servant, nor his maid, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any of his cattle, nor whatever belongs to thy neighbour.
18 Tango bato bayokaki bakake mpe koganga ya kelelo, mpe bamonaki mikalikali mpe milinga kobima na ngomba, balengaki. Batelemaki mosika
And all the people perceived the thundering, and the flashes, and the voice of the trumpet, and the mountain smoking; and all the people feared and stood afar off,
19 mpe balobaki na Moyize: — Tika ete yo moko oloba na biso, mpe tokoyoka yo; kasi Nzambe te, noki te tokokufa!
and said to Moses, Speak thou to us, and let not God speak to us, lest we die.
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 says to them, Be of good courage, for God is come to you to try you, that his fear may be among you, that ye sin not.
21 Bato bazalaki kaka mosika, wana Moyize apusanaki pembeni ya lipata oyo kati na yango Nzambe azalaki.
And the people stood afar off, and Moses went into the darkness 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, Thus shalt thou say to the house of Jacob, and thou shalt report it to the children of Israel, Ye have seen that I have spoken to you from heaven.
23 Bokomisalela te banzambe ya bikeko ya palata to ya wolo, mpo na kosangisa yango na Ngai.
Ye shall not make to yourselves gods of silver, and gods of gold ye shall not make to 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.
Ye shall make to me an altar of earth; and upon it ye shall sacrifice your whole burnt-offerings, and your peace-offerings, and your sheep and your calves in every place, where I shall record my name; and I will come to thee and bless thee.
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 thou wilt make to me an altar of stones, thou shalt not build them hewn [stones]; for thou hast lifted up thy tool upon them, and they are defiled.
26 Okomata te na etumbelo na Ngai na ematelo mpo ete bolumbu na yo emonana te. »
Thou shalt not go up to my altar by steps, that thou mayest not uncover thy nakedness upon it.
