Kobima 20
1 Tala maloba oyo Nzambe alobaki:
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 your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
3 Okozalaka na banzambe mosusu te, bobele Ngai.
“You shall 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.
“You shall not make for yourselves an idol, nor any image of anything that is in the heavens above, or that is in 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.
you shall not bow yourself down to them, nor serve them, for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children, on the third and on the fourth generation of those who 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 loving kindness to thousands of those 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.
“You shall not misuse the name of the LORD your God, for the LORD will not hold him guiltless who misuses his name.
8 Kanisaka mokolo ya Saba mpe bulisaka yango.
“Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.
9 Okosalaka misala na yo nyonso mikolo motoba.
You shall labour six days, and 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. You shall not do any work in it, you, nor your son, nor your daughter, your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your livestock, nor your stranger who is within your 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 heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day; therefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath 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.
“Honour your father and your mother, that your days may be long in the land which the LORD your God gives you.
13 Okobomaka te.
“You shall not murder.
14 Okosalaka ekobo te.
“You shall not commit adultery.
15 Okoyibaka te.
“You shall not steal.
16 Okolobaka te matatoli ya lokuta mpo na kokosela moninga na yo makambo.
“You shall not give false testimony 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. »
“You shall not covet your neighbour’s house. You shall not covet your neighbour’s wife, nor his male servant, nor his female servant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything that is your neighbour’s.”
18 Tango bato bayokaki bakake mpe koganga ya kelelo, mpe bamonaki mikalikali mpe milinga kobima na ngomba, balengaki. Batelemaki mosika
All the people perceived the thunderings, the lightnings, the sound of the shofar, and the mountain smoking. When the people saw it, they trembled, and stayed at a distance.
19 mpe balobaki na Moyize: — Tika ete yo moko oloba na biso, mpe tokoyoka yo; kasi Nzambe te, noki te tokokufa!
They said to Moses, “Speak with us yourself, and we will listen; but don’t let 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.
Moses said to the people, “Don’t be afraid, for God has come to test you, and that his fear may be before you, that you won’t sin.”
21 Bato bazalaki kaka mosika, wana Moyize apusanaki pembeni ya lipata oyo kati na yango Nzambe azalaki.
The people stayed at a distance, and Moses came near to 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.
The LORD said to Moses, “This is what you shall tell the children of Israel: ‘You yourselves have seen that I have talked with you from heaven.
23 Bokomisalela te banzambe ya bikeko ya palata to ya wolo, mpo na kosangisa yango na Ngai.
You shall most certainly not make gods of silver or gods of gold for yourselves to be alongside me.
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.
You shall make an altar of earth for me, and shall sacrifice on it your burnt offerings and your peace offerings, your sheep and your cattle. In every place where I record my name I will come to you and I will bless you.
25 Soki otongeli Ngai etumbelo ya mabanga, okotonga yango te na mabanga oyo bakata; pamba te soki okati yango, okobebisa bosantu na yango.
If you make me an altar of stone, you shall not build it of cut stones; for if you lift up your tool on it, you have polluted it.
26 Okomata te na etumbelo na Ngai na ematelo mpo ete bolumbu na yo emonana te. »
You shall not go up by steps to my altar, that your nakedness may not be exposed to it.’
