Kobima 20
1 Tala maloba oyo Nzambe alobaki:
And God 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 have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery.
3 Okozalaka na banzambe mosusu te, bobele Ngai.
Thou shalt have no other gods before 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 unto thyself any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is on the earth beneath, or that is in the water 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 thyself down to them, nor serve them; for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, unto the third and fourth generation of 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 showing mercy unto the thousandth generation of them that love me, and 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 will not hold him guiltless that taketh 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 shalt thou labor, and do 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 the seventh day is the sabbath in honor of the Lord thy God; on it thou shalt not do any work, neither thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy man-servant, nor thy maid-servant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates;
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 heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested on the seventh day; therefore the Lord blessed the sabbath 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.
Honor thy father and thy mother; in order that thy days may be prolonged upon the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee.
13 Okobomaka te.
Thou shalt not kill.
14 Okosalaka ekobo te.
Thou shalt not commit adultery.
15 Okoyibaka te.
Thou shalt not steal.
16 Okolobaka te matatoli ya lokuta mpo na kokosela moninga na yo makambo.
Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor.
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 neighbor's house. Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's wife, nor his man-servant, nor his maid-servant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbor's.
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 thunders, and the lightnings, and the sound of the cornet, and the mountain smoking; and when the people saw it, they removed trembling, 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 they said unto Moses, Speak thou with us, and we will hear; but let not God speak with 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 said unto the people, Fear not; for in order to prove you, did God come, and in order that his fear may be before your faces, 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 drew near unto the thick 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 unto Moses, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, Ye have seen that from heaven I have spoken with you.
23 Bokomisalela te banzambe ya bikeko ya palata to ya wolo, mpo na kosangisa yango na Ngai.
Ye shall not make any thing with me; gods of silver, and gods of gold ye shall not make unto 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.
An altar of earth shalt thou make unto me, and shalt sacrifice thereon thy burnt-offerings, and thy peace-offerings, thy sheep, and thy oxen; in every place where I shall permit my name to be mentioned, I will come unto thee, and I will 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 me an altar of stone, thou shalt not build it of hewn stone; for if thou lift up thy tool upon it, thou hast polluted it.
26 Okomata te na etumbelo na Ngai na ematelo mpo ete bolumbu na yo emonana te. »
Neither shalt thou go up by steps upon my altar, that thy nakedness be not laid open thereon.
