Kobima 34
1 Yawe alobaki na Moyize: — Bongisa bitando mibale ya mabanga lokola oyo ya liboso; nakokoma na bitando yango maloba oyo ezalaki na likolo ya bitando ya liboso oyo obukaki.
The Lord told Moses, “Cut out two stone tablets like the first ones, and I will write on them again the same words that were on the first tablets—the ones you broke.
2 Omilengela mpo na lobi na tongo. Na tongo-tongo, okomata na ngomba Sinai mpe okotelema liboso na Ngai, kuna na songe ya ngomba.
Get ready in the morning, and then come up Mount Sinai. Stand before me there on the mountain top.
3 Moto moko te asengeli komata elongo na yo; na ngomba mobimba, moto moko te amonana; bameme, bantaba to bangombe esengeli mpe te kolia na ebandeli ya ngomba.
Nobody else can come up with you—I don't want to see anyone anywhere on the mountain, and no flocks or herds should graze at the foot of the mountain.”
4 Moyize abongisaki bitando mibale ya mabanga lokola oyo ya liboso. Bongo na tongo-tongo ya mokolo oyo elandaki, amataki ngomba Sinai ndenge kaka Yawe atindaki ye; amemaki bitando mibale ya mabanga, na maboko na ye.
So Moses cut out two stone tablets like the previous ones and went up Mount Sinai early in the morning as the Lord had ordered him, taking with him the two stone tablets.
5 Yawe akitaki kati na lipata, atelemaki wana pene na ye, mpe Moyize abelelaki Kombo ya Yawe.
The Lord descended in a cloud, stood there with him, and called out the name “Yahweh.”
6 Yawe alekaki liboso ya Moyize, mpe Moyize atatolaki: — Yawe, Yawe, Nzambe na mawa mpe na ngolu, Nzambe oyo asilikaka noki te, atondi na bolingo mpe na boboto,
The Lord passed in front of him, calling out, “Yahweh! Yahweh! I am the God of grace and mercy! I am slow to become angry, full of trustworthy love and always faithful.
7 atalisaka bolingo na Ye kino na milongo nkoto, alimbisaka mabe, botomboki mpe masumu, kasi azangaka te kopesa etumbu na moto oyo asali mabe, Nzambe oyo apesaka bakitani etumbu mpo na mabe ya batata na bango kino na molongo ya misato mpe ya minei!
I go on showing my trustworthy love to thousands, forgiving guilt, rebellion, and sin. But I will not leave the guilty unpunished—the impact of sin will affect not only the parents, but also their children and grandchildren, up until the third and fourth generation.”
8 Mbala moko, Moyize afukamaki mpe agumbamelaki Yawe;
Moses quickly bowed down to the ground, and worshiped.
9 alobaki: — Eh Nkolo, soki penza nazwi ngolu na miso na Yo, nabondeli Yo: tambola kati na biso. Atako bato oyo bazali batomboki, kasi limbisa mabe mpe masumu na biso, mpe zwa biso lokola bato na Yo!
He said, “Lord, if it's true that you're happy with me, please accompany us. Admittedly this is a rebellious people, but please forgive our guilt and sin. Accept us as specially belonging to you.”
10 Yawe azongisaki: — Nalingi kosala boyokani elongo na bino. Liboso ya bato na yo nyonso, nakosala makambo ya kokamwa oyo etikala nanu kosalema te na mokili mobimba to na ekolo moko. Boye bato nyonso oyo bazali zingazinga na yo bakomona misala ya somo oyo Ngai Yawe nakosala na nzela na yo.
The Lord said, “Look, I'm making an agreement with you. Right in front of all of you I will do miracles that have never been done before—not among anyone anywhere on earth. Everyone here and those around will see the Lord at work, for what I'm going to do for you will be incredible.
11 Botosa makambo oyo nazali kotinda bino lelo. Nakobengana liboso na bino: bato ya Amori, ya Kanana, ya Iti, ya Perizi, ya Evi mpe ya Yebusi.
But you must carefully follow what I tell you to do today. Pay attention! I'm going to drive out ahead of you the Amorites, Canaanites, Hittites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites.
12 Bokeba! Bosala boyokani te elongo na bavandi ya mokili oyo bozali kokende, noki te bakokoma motambo kati na bino!
Make sure you don't agree to a peace treaty with the people living in the land where you are going. Otherwise they will become a trap for you.
13 Bokweyisa bitumbelo na bango, bopanza bikeko na bango mpe bobuka makonzi oyo bapika mpo na nzambe mwasi Ashera.
For you must tear down their altars, knock down their idolatrous pillars, and cut down their Asherah poles,
14 Bogumbamela nzambe mosusu te, pamba te Yawe andimaka bombanda te; Kombo na Ye ezali Nzambe ya zuwa.
because you must not worship any other gods than the Lord. His name stands for being exclusive, because he is a God who demands an exclusive relationship.
15 Bokeba! Bosala boyokani te elongo na bavandi ya mokili yango; noki te tango bakosambela banzambe na bango mpe bakobonzela yango mbeka, babenga bino mpo ete bolia mbeka na bango elongo;
Make sure you don't agree to a peace treaty with the people living in the land, for when they prostitute themselves by worshiping and sacrificing to their gods, they will invite you to join them, and you will eat from their pagan sacrifices.
16 mpe soki bozwi na libala bana na bango ya basi mpo na bana na bino ya mibali, wana bana na bango ya basi bakokoba kosambela banzambe na bango ya bikeko, bakotindika bana na bino ya mibali na kosambela banzambe na bango.
When you have their daughters marry your sons and those daughters prostitute themselves to their gods, they will make your sons worship their gods in the same way.
17 Bokosala nzambe ya ekeko te.
Don't make any idols for yourselves.
18 Bokosala feti ya Mapa ezanga levire. Mikolo sambo, bokolia mapa ezanga levire ndenge natindaki yo. Bokosala yango na tango ekatama, na sanza ya Abibi, pamba te ezali na sanza yango nde bobimaki na Ejipito.
Observe the Festival of Unleavened Bread. For seven days you are to eat bread made without yeast, as I ordered you to do. You are to do this at the specified time in the month of Abib, because that was the month when you left Egypt.
19 Mwana mobali nyonso ya liboso azali ya Ngai; ekozala mpe bongo mpo na mwana mobali nyonso ya liboso kati na bibwele na bino: ezala mwana ngombe, mwana ntaba to mwana meme.
Every firstborn is mine. That includes all the firstborn males of your livestock from your cattle herds, and flocks.
20 Nzokande, mpo na mwana liboso ya ane, bokosikola yango na mwana meme. Soki bosikoli yango te, bokobuka yango kingo. Bokosikola bana na bino nyonso ya liboso ya mibali. Moto moko te akoya kotelema liboso na Ngai maboko pamba.
You can redeem the firstborn of a donkey with a lamb, but if you don't, you must break its neck. All your firstborn sons must be redeemed. No one is to come before me without an offering.
21 Bokosala mosala mikolo motoba, kasi na mokolo ya sambo, bosengeli kopema: ezala na tango ya kolona to na tango ya kobuka.
You shall work for six days, but you shall rest on the seventh day. Even during the times of sowing and harvest you shall rest.
22 Bokosala feti ya Baposo mpo na kosepela na tina na bambuma ya liboso ya ble oyo ekomeli, mpe feti ya kobuka bambuma na suka ya mobu.
Observe the Festival of Weeks when you offer the firstfruits of wheat harvest, and the Harvest Festival at the end of the agricultural year.
23 Mbala misato na mobu, mibali nyonso basengeli koya liboso ya Nkolo Yawe, Nzambe ya Isalaele.
Three times every year all your males must appear before the Lord Yahweh, the God of Israel.
24 Mpo na bolamu na yo, nakobengana bikolo liboso na yo mpe nakoyeisa mokili na yo monene. Moto moko te akoluka kobotola mokili na yo tango okobanda komata mbala misato na mobu, mpo na kokutana na Yawe, Nzambe na yo.
I will drive out the nations ahead of you and expand your borders, and no one will come and take your land when you go three times a year to appear before the Lord your God.
25 Okobonzela Ngai te makila ya nyama elongo na mapa batia levire; okobomba te kino lobi na tongo mbeka oyo babonzi mpo na Pasika.
Don't offer bread made with yeast when you present a sacrifice to me, don't keep any sacrifice from the Passover Feast until the morning.
26 Okomema na Ndako ya Yawe, Nzambe na yo, bambuma ya liboso ya mabele na yo. Okolamba te mwana ntaba oyo ezali nanu komela mabele ya mama na yango.
When you harvest your crops, bring the firstfruits to the house of the Lord your God. Don't cook a young goat in milk from its mother.”
27 Yawe alobaki lisusu na Moyize: — Koma maloba oyo, pamba te ezali na nzela na yango nde nasalaki boyokani elongo na yo mpe Isalaele.
Then the Lord told Moses, “Write down these words, because these are the basis for the agreement I have made with you and with Israel.”
28 Moyize asalaki kuna elongo na Yawe mikolo tuku minei mpe babutu tuku minei; aliaki ata eloko moko te mpe amelaki mayi te. Bongo Moyize akomaki na bitando ya mabanga maloba ya Boyokani oyo babengi mibeko zomi.
Moses spent forty days and forty nights there with the Lord without eating bread or drinking water. He wrote down on the tablets the words of the agreement, the Ten Commandments.
29 Nzokande, tango Moyize akitaki wuta na ngomba Sinai, na bitando ya mabanga mibale ya mibeko na maboko na ye, ayebaki te ete elongi na ye ezalaki kongenga, mpo ete asololaki na Yawe.
When Moses came down from Mount Sinai carrying the two tablets of the Law, he didn't realize that his face was shining brightly because he had been speaking with the Lord.
30 Tango Aron mpe bana nyonso ya Isalaele bamonaki ete elongi ya Moyize ezali kongenga, babangaki kopusana pembeni na ye.
When Aaron and the Israelites saw Moses with his face shining so brightly they were frightened to approach him.
31 Moyize abengaki bango; bongo Aron mpe bakambi nyonso ya lisanga ya Isalaele bapusanaki pembeni ya Moyize, mpe ye Moyize asololaki na bango.
But Moses called out to them, so Aaron and all the community leaders went over to him, and he talked with them.
32 Sima na yango, bana nyonso ya Isalaele bapusanaki pembeni ya Moyize mpe ayebisaki bango mibeko nyonso oyo Yawe apesaki ye na ngomba Sinai.
Afterwards all the Israelites came over and he gave them all the Lord's instructions he'd received on Mount Sinai.
33 Tango Moyize asilisaki kosolola na bango, azipaki elongi na ye na vwale.
After Moses finished talking with them, he put a veil over his face.
34 Kasi tango nyonso Moyize azalaki kokota liboso ya Yawe mpo na kosolola na Ye, azalaki kolongola vwale kino tango akobima. Mpe soki abimi, azalaki koyebisa na bana ya Isalaele mibeko nyonso oyo azalaki kozwa epai na Yawe.
However, whenever Moses went in to talk with the Lord, he would take off the veil until he came out again. Then he would tell the Israelites the Lord's instructions,
35 Mpe bana ya Isalaele bazalaki komona elongi ya Moyize kongenga. Bongo azalaki kozongisa vwale na elongi na ye kino tango azalaki kozonga mpo na kosolola na Yawe.
and the Israelites would see his face shining brightly. So he would put the veil over his face until the next time he went to talk with the Lord.
