Kobima 20
1 Tala maloba oyo Nzambe alobaki:
And God spake 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 Yahweh thy God, —who have brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of servants: —
3 Okozalaka na banzambe mosusu te, bobele Ngai.
Thou shalt not have other gods besides 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 thee an image, or any form, that is in the heavens above, —or that is in the earth beneath, —or that is in the waters beneath 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 be led to serve them—For, I, Yahweh, thy God, am a jealous GOD, visiting the iniquity of fathers upon sons, unto three [generations] and, unto four, 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.
but shewing lovingkindness unto thousands [of generations], —of them who 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 utter the name of Yahweh thy God for falsehood, for Yahweh will not let him go unpunished who uttereth his name for falsehood.
8 Kanisaka mokolo ya Saba mpe bulisaka yango.
Remember the sabbath day, to hallow it:
9 Okosalaka misala na yo nyonso mikolo motoba.
Six days, shalt thou labour, 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 a sabbath unto Yahweh thy God, —thou shalt do no work, thou nor thy son nor thy daughter nor thy servant, nor thy handmaid, nor thy beast, nor thy sojourner who 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, did Yahweh make the heavens and the earth, [and] the sea—and all that in them is, and rested on the seventh day, —for this cause, Yahweh 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.
Honour thy father, and thy mother, —that thy days may be prolonged upon the soil, which Yahweh thy God is about to give unto thee.
13 Okobomaka te.
Thou shalt not commit murder.
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 testify against thy neighbour, with a witness of falsehood.
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 house, —thou shalt not covet, thy neighbour’s wife nor his servant nor his handmaid nor his ox, nor his ass, nor anything which belongeth unto 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, were witnessing the voices and the torches, and the sound of the horn, and the mountain smoking, —so then the people were struck with awe and shrank back, 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—Do not fear, for to the end he may prove you, hath God come, —and to the end the reverence of him may be upon your faces that ye sin not.
21 Bato bazalaki kaka mosika, wana Moyize apusanaki pembeni ya lipata oyo kati na yango Nzambe azalaki.
So then the people stood afar off, and, Moses, approached unto the thick gloom, 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.
Then said Yahweh unto Moses, Thus, shalt thou say, unto the sons of Israel, —Ye yourselves, have seen that out of the heavens, have I spoken with you.
23 Bokomisalela te banzambe ya bikeko ya palata to ya wolo, mpo na kosangisa yango na Ngai.
Ye shall not make [aught] beside me, —neither gods of silver, nor gods of gold, shall ye 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.
An altar of earth, shalt thou make to me, then shalt thou offer thereupon thine ascending-sacrifices and thy peace-offerings, thy sheep, and thine oxen. In every place where I may mention my name, will I come in unto thee and 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.
But if, an altar of stones, thou wilt make to me, thou shalt not build them hewn, —for as soon as thou hast lifted, thy sharp tool, thereupon, thou hast profaned it;
26 Okomata te na etumbelo na Ngai na ematelo mpo ete bolumbu na yo emonana te. »
neither shalt thou go up, by steps unto mine altar, —lest by any means thy shame be discovered thereupon.
