Kobima 24
1 Yawe alobaki na Moyize: — Mata epai na Yawe, yo elongo na Aron, Nadabi, Abiyu mpe bakambi tuku sambo ya Isalaele; bokogumbama na mosika.
And he said to Moses, Go up to Jehovah, thou and Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel; and worship afar off.
2 Moyize kaka nde asengeli kopusana pene ya Yawe; kasi bato mosusu te. Lisanga mobimba ya Isalaele mpe ekomata te elongo na ye.
And let Moses alone come near Jehovah; but they shall not come near; neither shall the people go up with him.
3 Tango Moyize akendeki koyebisa bato makambo mpe mibeko nyonso ya Yawe, bato bazongisaki elongo: — Tokosala makambo nyonso oyo Yawe alobi.
And Moses came and told the people all the words of Jehovah, and all the judgments; and all the people answered with one voice, and said, All the words that Jehovah has said will we do!
4 Moyize akomaki maloba nyonso oyo Yawe ayebisaki ye. Mokolo oyo elandaki, alamukaki na tongo makasi mpe atongaki etumbelo na ebandeli ya ngomba. Bongo, atelemisaki mabanga zomi na mibale oyo ezali kotalisa mabota zomi na mibale ya Isalaele.
And Moses wrote all the words of Jehovah, and rose up early in the morning, and built an altar under the mountain, and twelve pillars, according to the twelve tribes of Israel.
5 Atindaki bilenge mibali ya Isalaele ete babonzela Yawe mbeka ya kotumba ya bangombe ya mibali lokola mbeka ya boyokani.
And he sent the youths of the children of Israel, and they offered up burnt-offerings, and sacrificed sacrifices of peace-offering of bullocks to Jehovah.
6 Moyize azwaki ndambo ya makila, atiaki yango na sani; bongo ndambo mosusu, abwakaki-bwakaki yango na likolo ya etumbelo.
And Moses took half the blood, and put [it] in basons; and half of the blood he sprinkled on the altar.
7 Azwaki lisusu buku ya Boyokani mpe atangaki yango liboso ya bana ya Isalaele. Boye bango bazongisaki: — Tokosala makambo nyonso oyo Yawe alobi mpe tokotosa yango.
And he took the book of the covenant, and read [it] in the ears of the people; and they said, All that Jehovah has said will we do, and obey!
8 Moyize azwaki makila, abwakelaki-bwakelaki yango bato mpe alobaki: — Oyo ezali makila ya boyokani oyo Yawe asali elongo na bino kolanda maloba oyo nyonso.
And Moses took the blood, and sprinkled [it] on the people, and said, Behold the blood of the covenant that Jehovah has made with you concerning all these words.
9 Sima na yango, Moyize elongo na Aron, Nadabi, Abiyu mpe bakambi tuku sambo ya Isalaele, bamataki likolo ya ngomba
And Moses and Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel went up;
10 epai wapi bamonaki Nzambe ya Isalaele; se ya matambe na Ye ezalaki lokola mabanga ya talo ya safiri mpe ezalaki na langi ya ble ya kitoko lokola ble ya likolo.
and they saw the God of Israel; and there was under his feet as it were work of transparent sapphire, and as it were the form of heaven for clearness.
11 Kasi Nzambe asembolaki loboko na Ye te mpo na kobeta bakambi ya Isalaele; bamonaki Nzambe, baliaki mpe bamelaki.
And on the nobles of the children of Israel he laid not his hand: they saw God, and ate and drank.
12 Yawe alobaki na Moyize: « Yaka pene na Ngai na likolo ya ngomba mpe telema wana. Ngai nakopesa yo bitando ya mabanga ya papala oyo na likolo na yango nakomi Mobeko mpe mitindo mpo na kopesa bana ya Isalaele malako. »
And Jehovah said to Moses, Come up to me into the mountain, and be there; and I will give thee the tables of stone, and the law, and the commandment that I have written, for their instruction.
13 Boye Moyize atelemaki elongo na mosungi na ye Jozue mpe amataki na ngomba ya Nzambe.
And Moses rose up, and Joshua his attendant; and Moses went up to the mountain of God.
14 Moyize alobaki na bakambi: « Bozela biso awa kino tokozonga. Aron mpe Wuri bazali elongo na bino. Tika ete soki moto azali na likambo, ayebisa bango yango. »
And he said to the elders, Wait here for us, until we return to you; and behold, Aaron and Hur are with you: if any man have any matter, let him come before them.
15 Tango Moyize amataki likolo ya ngomba, mapata ezipaki ye
And Moses went up to the mountain, and the cloud covered the mountain.
16 mpe nkembo ya Yawe ewumelaki na likolo ya ngomba Sinai. Mikolo motoba, mapata ezipaki ngomba. Bongo na mokolo ya sambo, Yawe abengaki Moyize kati na mapata.
And the glory of Jehovah abode on mount Sinai, and the cloud covered it six days; and on the seventh day he called to Moses out of the midst of the cloud.
17 Na miso ya bana ya Isalaele, Nkembo ya Yawe emonanaki na likolo ya ngomba lokola moto oyo etumbaka.
And the appearance of the glory of Jehovah was like a consuming fire on the top of the mountain, before the eyes of the children of Israel.
18 Tango Moyize amataki likolo ya ngomba, akotaki kati na mapata. Awumelaki kuna mikolo tuku minei mpe babutu tuku minei.
And Moses went into the midst of the cloud, and ascended the mountain. And Moses was on the mountain forty days and forty nights.
