Deuteronomy 9
1 Hear, O Israel: thou art to pass over the Jordan this day, to go in to dispossess nations greater and mightier than thyself, cities great and fortified up to heaven,
Oh Isalaele, yoka malamu! Okomi sik’oyo pene ya kokatisa Yordani mpo na kokota mpe kobengana bikolo oyo eleki yo na monene mpe na makasi, bikolo oyo evandaka kati na bingumba minene oyo ezali na bamir batonga makasi mpe ekenda kino na likolo.
2 a people great and tall, the sons of the Anakim, whom thou knowest, and of whom thou hast heard say: 'Who can stand before the sons of Anak?'
Bato yango bazali makasi mpe bingambe, bana ya Anaki! Oyebi bango mpe osila koyoka bato koloba na tina na bango: « Nani akoki kotelema liboso ya bana ya Anaki? »
3 Know therefore this day, that the LORD thy God is He who goeth over before thee as a devouring fire; He will destroy them, and He will bring them down before thee; so shalt thou drive them out, and make them to perish quickly, as the LORD hath spoken unto thee.
Kasi lelo, yeba malamu ete Yawe, Nzambe na yo, azali Ye moko kotambola liboso na yo lokola moto oyo ezikisaka; akobebisa bango mpe akobuka bango liboso na yo; bongo yo okokamata mabele na bango mpe okosilisa bango noki-noki, ndenge Yawe alakaki yo.
4 Speak not thou in thy heart, after that the LORD thy God hath thrust them out from before thee, saying: 'For my righteousness the LORD hath brought me in to possess this land'; whereas for the wickedness of these nations the LORD doth drive them out from before thee.
Tango Yawe, Nzambe na yo, akosilisa kobengana bango liboso na yo, komilobela te kati na motema na yo: « Ezali mpo na bosembo na ngai nde Yawe amemaki ngai mpo ete nakamata mokili oyo. » Te, ezali bongo te! Ezali nde mpo na mabe ya bikolo yango nde Yawe abengani yango liboso na yo.
5 Not for thy righteousness, or for the uprightness of thy heart, dost thou go in to possess their land; but for the wickedness of these nations the LORD thy God doth drive them out from before thee, and that He may establish the word which the LORD swore unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.
Ezali te mpo na bosembo na yo to mpo ete otambolaki alima nde okokota mpo na kozwa mokili na bango, kasi ezali solo mpo na mabe ya bikolo yango nde Yawe, Nzambe na yo, akobengana yango liboso na yo, mpo na kokokisa ndayi oyo alapaki epai ya bakoko na yo Abrayami, Izaki mpe Jakobi.
6 Know therefore that it is not for thy righteousness that the LORD thy God giveth thee this good land to possess it; for thou art a stiffnecked people.
Boye sosola malamu ete ezali te mpo na bosembo na yo nde Yawe, Nzambe na yo, azali kopesa yo mokili oyo ya malamu mpo ete okamata yango, pamba te yo mpe ozali libota ya batomboki.
7 Remember, forget thou not, how thou didst make the LORD thy God wroth in the wilderness; from the day that thou didst go forth out of the land of Egypt, until ye came unto this place, ye have been rebellious against the LORD.
Kanisaka malamu likambo oyo mpe kobosanaka te ndenge nini opelisaki kanda ya Yawe, Nzambe na yo, kati na esobe: banda mokolo oyo bobimaki wuta na Ejipito kino bokomaki na esika oyo, bozalaki kaka kotosa Yawe te.
8 Also in Horeb ye made the LORD wroth, and the LORD was angered with you to have destroyed you.
Na ngomba Orebi, bopesaki Yawe kanda makasi mpe asilikelaki bino makasi kino akomaki na posa ya kobebisa bino.
9 When I was gone up into the mount to receive the tables of stone, even the tables of the covenant which the LORD made with you, then I abode in the mount forty days and forty nights; I did neither eat bread nor drink water.
Tango namataki likolo ya ngomba mpo na kozwa bitando ya mabanga ya boyokani oyo Yawe asalaki elongo na bino, natikalaki likolo ya ngomba mikolo tuku minei mpe babutu tuku minei; naliaki lipa te mpe namelaki mayi te.
10 And the LORD delivered unto me the two tables of stone written with the finger of God; and on them was written according to all the words, which the LORD spoke with you in the mount out of the midst of the fire in the day of the assembly.
Yawe apesaki ngai bitando mibale ya mabanga oyo mosapi ya Nzambe ekomaki. Na likolo na yango, ezali na mibeko nyonso Yawe oyo ayebisaki bino likolo ya ngomba longwa kati na moto, na mokolo oyo bosanganaki.
11 And it came to pass at the end of forty days and forty nights, that the LORD gave me the two tables of stone, even the tables of the covenant.
Na suka ya mikolo tuku minei mpe babutu tuku minei, Yawe apesaki ngai bitando yango mibale ya mabanga ya boyokani.
12 And the LORD said unto me: 'Arise, get thee down quickly from hence; for thy people that thou hast brought forth out of Egypt have dealt corruptly; they are quickly turned aside out of the way which I commanded them; they have made them a molten image.'
Bongo Yawe alobaki na ngai: « Kende, kita mbangu na ngomba oyo, pamba te bato na yo, oyo obimisaki na Ejipito bamikomisi mbindo; bapesi noki mokongo na mibeko oyo napesaki bango mpe bamisaleli ekeko ya ebende banyangwisa na moto. »
13 Furthermore the LORD spoke unto me, saying: 'I have seen this people, and, behold, it is a stiffnecked people;
Mpe Yawe alobaki na ngai: « Natali malamu bato oyo; bazali penza libota ya batomboki!
14 let Me alone, that I may destroy them, and blot out their name from under heaven; and I will make of thee a nation mightier and greater than they.'
Tika Ngai kosala: nakobebisa bango mpe nakolimwisa bakombo na bango kati na mokili, kasi nakokomisa yo ekolo ya nguya mpe ya bato ebele koleka bango. »
15 So I turned and came down from the mount, and the mount burned with fire; and the two tables of the covenant were in my two hands.
Bongo nabalukaki mpe nakitaki wuta na ngomba oyo ekomaki kopela moto; nasimbaki na maboko na ngai bitando mibale ya mabanga ya boyokani.
16 And I looked, and, behold, ye had sinned against the LORD your God; ye had made you a molten calf; ye had turned aside quickly out of the way which the LORD had commanded you.
Tango natalaki, namonaki ete bosalaki solo masumu epai na Yawe, Nzambe na bino: bomisalelaki ekeko ya mwana ngombe ya ebende banyangwisa na moto; bopengwaki noki na nzela oyo Yawe atindaki bino.
17 And I took hold of the two tables, and cast them out of my two hands, and broke them before your eyes.
Boye, nazwaki bitando yango mibale ya mabanga, nabwakaki yango wuta na maboko na ngai mpe napanzaki yango na biteni na miso na bino.
18 And I fell down before the LORD, as at the first, forty days and forty nights; I did neither eat bread nor drink water; because of all your sin which ye sinned, in doing that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, to provoke Him.
Bongo nakweyaki mbala moko liboso ya Yawe mikolo tuku minei mpe babutu tuku minei, naliaki lipa te mpe namelaki mayi te mpo na lisumu monene oyo bosalaki wana bosalaki mabe na miso ya Yawe mpe, na bongo, bopesaki Ye kanda.
19 For I was in dread of the anger and hot displeasure, wherewith the LORD was wroth against you to destroy you. But the LORD hearkened unto me that time also.
Nabangaki kanda mpe kotomboka ya Yawe, pamba te asilikelaki bino makasi kino akomaki na posa ya kobebisa bino; kasi Yawe ayokelaki ngai lisusu.
20 Moreover the LORD was very angry with Aaron to have destroyed him; and I prayed for Aaron also the same time.
Yawe asilikelaki mpe Aron makasi kino alingaki koboma ye; kasi na tango wana, nabondelaki mpe mpo na Aron.
21 And I took your sin, the calf which ye had made, and burnt it with fire, and beat it in pieces, grinding it very small, until it was as fine as dust; and I cast the dust thereof into the brook that descended out of the mount. —
Nazwaki lisusu eloko oyo ememisaki bino masumu, ekeko ya mwana ngombe oyo bosalaki, natumbaki yango na moto, natutaki mpe nanikaki yango malamu kino ekomaki putulu; mpe nabwakaki putulu yango na mayi oyo ezalaki kotiola wuta na ngomba.
22 And at Taberah, and at Massah, and at Kibroth-hattaavah, ye made the LORD wroth.
Na Tabeera, na Masa, na Kibiroti-Atava, bokobaki kaka kopesa Yawe kanda.
23 And when the LORD sent you from Kadesh-barnea, saying: 'Go up and possess the land which I have given you'; then ye rebelled against the commandment of the LORD your God, and ye believed Him not, nor hearkened to His voice.
Mpe tango Yawe alingaki ete bolongwa na Kadeshi-Barinea, apesaki bino mitindo: « Bokende! Bokamata mokili oyo napesi bino. » Kasi botosaki te mitindo ya Yawe, Nzambe na bino; botiaki elikya te kati na Ye mpe botosaki Ye te.
24 Ye have been rebellious against the LORD from the day that I knew you. —
Wuta mokolo oyo nayeba bino, botikala te kotosa Yawe.
25 So I fell down before the LORD the forty days and forty nights that I fell down; because the LORD had said He would destroy you.
Nakweyaki liboso ya Yawe mikolo tuku minei mpe babutu tuku minei, pamba te Yawe azalaki koloba ete akoboma bino.
26 And I prayed unto the LORD, and said: 'O Lord GOD, destroy not Thy people and Thine inheritance, that Thou hast redeemed through Thy greatness, that Thou hast brought forth out of Egypt with a mighty hand.
Nabondelaki Yawe mpe nalobaki: « Nkolo Yawe, kobebisa bato na Yo te, bazali libula na Yo moko oyo osikolaki na nguya monene na Yo mpe obimisaki na Ejipito na loboko na Yo ya nguya.
27 Remember Thy servants, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; look not unto the stubbornness of this people, nor to their wickedness, nor to their sin;
Kanisa basali na Yo Abrayami, Izaki mpe Jakobi! Kotala te botomboki ya bato oyo, mabe na bango mpe masumu na bango;
28 lest the land whence Thou broughtest us out say: Because the LORD was not able to bring them into the land which He promised unto them, and because He hated them, He hath brought them out to slay them in the wilderness.
noki te bato ya mokili oyo longwa kuna obimisaki biso, bakoloba: ‹ Ezali mpo ete Yawe azalaki na makoki te ya kokotisa bango na mokili oyo alakaki bango to ezali mpo ete azalaki koyina bango, yango wana abimisaki bango wuta na Ejipito mpo na koboma bango na esobe. ›
29 Yet they are Thy people and Thine inheritance, that Thou didst bring out by Thy great power and by Thy outstretched arm.'
Nzokande bazali bato na Yo mpe libula na Yo, oyo obimisaki na nguya monene na Yo mpe na loboko na Yo ya nguya. »
