Kobima 32
1 Tango bato bamonaki ete Moyize azali kowumela mpo na kokita na ngomba, basanganaki zingazinga ya Aron mpe balobaki: — Yaka mpe salela biso nzambe oyo akotambola liboso na biso. Pamba te Moyize, moto oyo abimisaki biso na Ejipito, toyebi te makambo nini ekomeli ye.
And when the people saw that Moses delayed to come down from the mountain, the people combined against Aaron, and said to him, Arise and make us gods who shall go before us; for this Moses, the man who brought us forth out of the land of Egypt—we do not know what is become of him.
2 Aron azongiselaki bango: — Bolongola biloko ya matoyi oyo ezali na matoyi ya basi na bino, ya bana na bino ya basi mpe ya mibali, mpe bomemela ngai yango.
And Aaron says to them, Take off the golden ear-rings which are in the ears of your wives and daughters, and bring them to me.
3 Bato nyonso balongolaki biloko ya matoyi mpe bamemaki yango epai ya Aron.
And all the people took off the golden ear-rings that were in their ears, and brought them to Aaron.
4 Aron azwaki biloko oyo bapesaki ye, anyangwisaki yango na moto, mpe sima, asalaki ekeko ya mwana ngombe. Bongo balobaki: — Tala nzambe na yo, oh Isalaele, oyo abimisaki yo na Ejipito.
And he received them at their hands, and formed them with a graving tool; and he made them a molten calf, and said, These [are] your gods, O Israel, which have brought you up out of the land of Egypt.
5 Tango Aron amonaki yango, atongaki etumbelo liboso ya mwana ngombe mpe alobaki: — Feti ekozala lobi mpo na Yawe.
And Aaron having seen it built an altar before it, and Aaron made proclamation saying, To-morrow [is] a feast of the Lord.
6 Mokolo oyo elandaki, bato balamukaki na tongo makasi, babonzaki bambeka ya kotumba mpe bambeka ya boyokani. Sima na yango, bavandaki mpo na kolia mpe mpo na komela; mpe batelemaki mpo na kosakana.
And having risen early on the morrow, he offered whole burnt offerings, and offered a peace-offering; and the people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play.
7 Yawe alobaki na Moyize: — Kita, pamba te bato na yo, oyo obimisaki na Ejipito babungi nzela,
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, Go quickly, descend hence, for your people whom you brought out of the land of Egypt have transgressed;
8 bapesi mokongo noki na makambo oyo natindaki bango mpe bamisaleli ekeko ya mwana ngombe. Bagumbameli yango, babonzeli yango makabo mpe balobi: « Tala nzambe na yo, Oh Isalaele, oyo abimisaki yo na Ejipito. »
they have quickly gone out of the way which you commanded; they have made for themselves a calf, and worshipped it, and sacrificed to it, and said,
9 Yawe alobaki lisusu na Moyize: — Namoni ete bato oyo bazali batomboki.
These are your gods, O Israel, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt.
10 Sik’oyo, tika Ngai moko nasala mpo ete kanda na Ngai ekweyela bango mpe naboma bango. Kasi nakokomisa yo libota monene.
And now let me alone, and I will be very angry with them and consume them, and I will make you a great nation.
11 Moyize abondelaki Yawe, Nzambe na ye, mpe alobaki: — Eh Yawe! Mpo na nini kanda na Yo ekweyela bato na Yo, oyo obimisaki na Ejipito, na nguya monene mpe na loboko ya makasi?
And Moses prayed before the Lord God, and said, Therefore, O Lord, are you very angry with your people, whom you brought out of the land of Egypt with great strength, and with your high arm?
12 Mpo na nini bato ya Ejipito baloba: « Nzambe na bango azalaki na makanisi mabe tango abimisaki bango na Ejipito. Ezali nde mpo na koboma bango na mokili ya bangomba mpe kosilisa bango na mokili. » Lembisa kanda na Yo ya makasi mpe kosala lisusu mabe te na bato na Yo.
[Take heed] lest at any time the Egyptians speak, saying, With evil intent he brought them out to kill them in the mountains, and to consume them from off the earth; cease from your wrathful anger, and be merciful to the sin of your people,
13 Kanisa Abrayami, Izaki mpe Isalaele, basali na Yo, oyo Yo moko olapelaki ndayi mpe olobaki: « Nakokomisa bakitani na yo ebele lokola minzoto na likolo, nakopesa bango mokili oyo nyonso ndenge kaka nalobaki na bango; mpe yango ekozala libula na bango mpo na libela. »
remembering Abraam and Isaac and Jacob your servants, to whom you have sworn by yourself, and have spoken to them, saying, I will greatly multiply your seed as the stars of heaven for multitude, and all this land which you spoke of to give to them, so that they shall possess it for ever.
14 Mpe Yawe asalaki lisusu te mabe oyo akanaki kosala bato na Ye.
And the Lord was prevailed upon to preserve his people.
15 Moyize abalukaki mpe akitaki wuta na ngomba, elongo na bitando mibale ya mabanga ya boyokani na maboko na ye; mabanga yango ekomama na bangambo mibale, na liboso mpe na sima.
And Moses turned and went down from the mountain, and the two tables of testimony were in his hands, tables of stone written on both their sides: they were written within and without.
16 Bitando yango ya mabanga ezalaki mosala ya Nzambe, mpe makomi oyo ezalaki ya kokomama na bitando yango ya mabanga ezalaki ya Nzambe.
And the tables were the work of God, and the writing the writing of God written on the tables.
17 Tango Jozue ayokaki makelele ya bato oyo bazalaki koganga, alobaki na Moyize: — Ezali na makelele ya bitumba kati na molako!
And Joshua having heard the voice of the people crying, says to Moses, There is a noise of war in the camp.
18 Moyize azongisaki: — Te, ezali makelele ya elonga te, makelele ya kokweyisama mpe te! Oyo ngai nazali koyoka, ezali nde makelele ya banzembo.
And [Moses] says, It is not the voice of them that begin the battle, nor the voice of them that begin [the cry] of defeat, but the voice of them that begin [the banquet] of wine do I hear.
19 Tango Moyize apusanaki pembeni ya molako, amonaki ekeko ya mwana ngombe mpe bato bazali kobina; asilikaki makasi, abwakaki bitando ya mabanga wuta na maboko na ye mpe apanzaki yango na biteni, na ebandeli ya ngomba.
And when he drew near to the camp, he sees the calf and the dances; and Moses being very angry cast the two tables out of his hands, and broke them to pieces under the mountain.
20 Moyize azwaki ekeko ya mwana ngombe oyo basalaki, atumbaki yango na moto mpe anikaki yango malamu kino ekomaki putulu. Bongo apanzaki yango likolo ya mayi mpe amelisaki bana ya Isalaele mayi yango.
And having taken the calf which they made, he consumed it with fire, and ground it very small, and scattered it on the water, and made the children of Israel to drink it.
21 Moyize atunaki Aron: — Likambo nini bato oyo basali yo mpo ete okamba bango kino kosala lisumu ya monene boye?
And Moses said to Aaron, What has this people done to you, that you have brought upon them a great sin?
22 Aron azongisaki: — Tika ete nkolo na ngai asilika te! Oyebi bato, balingaka kaka kosala mabe.
And Aaron said to Moses, Be not angry, [my] lord, for you know the impetuosity of this people.
23 Balobaki na ngai: « Salela biso Nzambe oyo akotambola liboso na biso, pamba te toyebi te likambo nini ekweyeli Moyize oyo abimisaki biso na Ejipito. »
For they say to me, Make us gods, which shall go before us; for as for this man Moses, who brought us out of Egypt, we do not know what is become of him.
24 Bongo nayebisaki bango: « Tika ete moto nyonso oyo azali na biloko ya matoyi ya wolo alongola yango. » Bapesaki ngai wolo, nanyangwisaki yango na moto mpe nasalaki na yango ekeko ya mwana ngombe oyo.
And I said to them, If any one has golden ornaments, take them off; and they gave them me, and I cast them into the fire, and there came out this calf.
25 Moyize amonaki ete bato bazalaki kati na mobulu, pamba te Aron akambaki bango mabe; yango wana bakomaki eloko ya kotiola na miso ya banguna na bango.
And when Moses saw that the people was scattered, —for Aaron [had] scattered them [so as to be] a rejoicing to their enemies, —
26 Moyize atelemaki na ekotelo ya molako mpe alobaki: — Tika ete moto nyonso oyo azali mpo na Yawe aya epai na ngai. Mpe Balevi nyonso basanganaki pene na ye.
then stood Moses at the gate of the camp, and said, Who is on the Lord's side? let him come to me. Then all the sons of Levi came to him.
27 Alobaki na bango: — Tala makambo oyo Yawe, Nzambe ya Isalaele, alobi: « Tika ete moto nyonso atia mopanga na mopende na ye. Botambola kati na molako wuta na ndako ya kapo moko kino na ndako ya kapo mosusu; mpe moko na moko na bino aboma ndeko na ye ya mobali, moninga na ye mpe mozalani na ye. »
And he says to them, Thus says the Lord God of Israel, Put every one his sword on his thigh, and go through and return from gate to gate through the camp, and kill every one his brother, and every one his neighbour, and every one him that is nearest to him.
28 Balevi basalaki ndenge Moyize atindaki; mpe na mokolo wana, bato pene nkoto misato bakufaki.
And the sons of Levi did as Moses spoke to them, and there fell of the people in that day to the [number of] three thousand men.
29 Moyize alobaki: — Na mokolo ya lelo, Yawe atie bino pembeni mpo ete bobomi bana na bino moko ya mibali mpe bandeko na bino ya mibali. Bongo mpo na yango, apamboli bino.
And Moses said to them, You have filled your hands this day to the Lord each one on his son or on his brother, so that blessing should be given to you.
30 Mokolo elandaki, Moyize alobaki na bato: — Bosalaki lisumu monene. Kasi sik’oyo, nakomata epai na Yawe; tango mosusu, nakozwa bolimbisi mpo na lisumu na bino.
And it came to pass after the morrow [had begun], that Moses said to the people, You have sinned a great sin; and now I will go up to God, that I may make atonement for your sin.
31 Moyize azongaki epai na Yawe mpe alobaki: — Ah! Tala lisumu monene bato oyo basali. Bamisalelaki nzambe ya wolo.
And Moses returned to the Lord and said, I pray, O Lord, this people has sinned a great sin, and they have made for themselves golden gods.
32 Kasi sik’oyo, nabondeli Yo, limbisa lisumu na bango, soki te longola kombo na ngai na buku ya bomoi oyo okomaki.
And now if you will forgive their sin, forgive [it]; and if not, blot me out of your book, which you have written.
33 Yawe azongiselaki Moyize: — Moto nyonso oyo asalaki lisumu liboso na Ngai, ye nde nakolongola na buku na Ngai.
And the Lord said to Moses, If any one has sinned against me, I will blot them out of my book.
34 Sik’oyo, kende! Kamba bato na esika oyo nalobaki na yo. Tala, anjelu na Ngai akozala liboso na yo. Atako bongo, tango mokolo ekokoka mpo ete napesa etumbu, nakopesa bango etumbu mpo na lisumu na bango.
And now go, descend, and lead this people into the place of which I spoke to you: behold, my angel shall go before your face; and in the day when I shall visit I will bring upon them their sin.
35 Yawe apesaki bato etumbu likolo ya ekeko ya mwana ngombe oyo balobaki na Aron ete asala.
And the Lord struck the people for the making the calf, which Aaron made.
