Deuteronomy 17
1 Thou shall not sacrifice to Jehovah thy God an ox, or a sheep, in which is a blemish or anything bad, for that is an abomination to Jehovah thy God.
Okobonza te epai na Yawe, Nzambe na yo, ngombe to meme oyo ezali na mbeba to oyo ezali mabe, pamba te yango ezali likambo ya nkele liboso ya Yawe, Nzambe na yo.
2 If there be found in the midst of thee, within any of thy gates which Jehovah thy God gives thee, man or woman, who does that which is evil in the sight of Jehovah thy God, in transgressing his covenant,
Soki kati na moko ya bingumba oyo Yawe, Nzambe na yo, apesi yo; emonani na mobali to mwasi oyo asali mabe na miso ya Yawe, Nzambe na yo, wana abuki boyokani elongo na Ye
3 and has gone and served other gods, and worshiped them, or the sun, or the moon, or any of the host of heaven, which I have not commanded,
mpe akei kosalela banzambe mosusu mpe kofukamela yango: moyi, sanza to minzoto nyonso ya likolo, nzokande natindaki bango bongo te;
4 and it be told thee, and thou have heard of it, then shall thou inquire diligently. And, behold, if it be true, and the thing certain, that such abomination is wrought in Israel,
bongo bamemeli yo sango ya ndenge wana, yekola yango malamu. Soki emonani solo ete likambo ya nkele esalemi kati na Isalaele;
5 then thou shall bring forth that man or that woman, who has done this evil thing, to thy gates, even the man or the woman, and thou shall stone them to death with stones.
kamata mobali to mwasi oyo asali likambo wana ya nkele, mema ye na ekuke ya engumba na yo mpe bamba ye mabanga kino akokufa.
6 At the mouth of two witnesses, or three witnesses, shall he who is to die be put to death. He shall not be put to death at the mouth of one witness.
Ezali kaka na litatoli ya bato mibale to misato nde okoki koboma moto, kasi na litatoli ya moto moko te.
7 The hand of the witnesses shall be first upon him to put him to death, and afterward the hand of all the people. So thou shall put away the evil from the midst of thee.
Maboko ya motatoli nde ekozala maboko ya liboso ya koboma moto yango, mpe na sima, maboko ya bato nyonso. Na nzela wana nde okolongola mabe kati na yo.
8 If there arise a matter too hard for thee in judgment, between blood and blood, between plea and plea, and between stroke and stroke, being matters of controversy within thy gates, then thou shall arise, and get thee up to the place which Jehovah thy God shall choose.
Soki makambo oyo eleki yo makasi mpo na kosambisa ekomi na bisambiselo na yo, makambo lokola koboma bato, kowelana, kozokisa bato, mema yango na esika oyo Yawe, Nzambe na bino, akopona.
9 And thou shall come to the priests the Levites, and to the judge who shall be in those days, and thou shall inquire. And they shall show thee the sentence of judgment.
Okokende epai ya Banganga-Nzambe oyo bazali Balevi mpe epai ya mosambisi oyo azali kosala mosala na tango wana. Okotalisa bango likambo yango mpe bango nde bakokata likambo.
10 And thou shall do according to the tenor of the sentence which they shall show thee from that place which Jehovah shall choose. And thou shall observe to do according to all that they shall teach thee,
Bongo yo okosala kolanda mikano oyo bango bakopesa yo na esika oyo Yawe akopona. Sala keba ete osala makambo nyonso oyo bakotinda yo.
11 according to the tenor of the law which they shall teach thee, and according to the judgment which they shall tell thee, thou shall do. Thou shall not turn aside from the sentence, which they shall show thee, to the right hand, nor to the left.
Okosala kolanda mobeko oyo bakoteya yo mpe bikateli oyo bakopesa yo. Kokende libanda te ya bikateli oyo bakopesa yo.
12 And the man who does presumptuously, in not hearkening to the priest who stands to minister there before Jehovah thy God, or to the judge, even that man shall die, and thou shall put away the evil from Israel.
Moto oyo akosala lolendo mpe akoboya kotosa Nganga-Nzambe to mosambisi oyo atelemi mpo kosala mosala na esika oyo Yawe aponaki mpo na ye, basengeli koboma ye. Na nzela wana nde okolongola mabe kati na Isalaele.
13 And all the people shall hear, and fear, and do no more presumptuously.
Bato nyonso bakoyoka likambo yango, bakokoma na somo mpe bakosala lisusu lolendo te.
14 When thou have come to the land which Jehovah thy God gives thee, and shall possess it, and shall dwell in it, and shall say, I will set a king over me like all the nations that are round about me,
Tango okokota na mokili oyo Yawe, Nzambe na yo, akopesa yo; tango okozwa yango mpe okovanda kati na yango, tango mosusu okoki koloba: « Tika ete toluka mokonzi oyo akokonza biso ndenge ezali na bikolo nyonso oyo ezingeli biso, »
15 thou shall surely set him king over thee whom Jehovah thy God shall choose. Thou shall set a king over thee from among thy brothers. Thou may not put a foreigner over thee who is not thy brother.
sala keba ete opona kaka mokonzi oyo Yawe, Nzambe na yo, akopona. Asengeli kowuta kati na bandeko na bino. Kotia mopaya te oyo azali ndeko na bino te kati na Isalaele mpo na kokonza bino.
16 Only he shall not multiply horses to himself, nor cause the people to return to Egypt, to the end that he may multiply horses, inasmuch as Jehovah has said to you, Ye shall henceforth return no more that way.
Nzokande mokonzi yango asengeli te kozala na bampunda ebele mpo na ye moko mpe kozongisa bato na Ejipito mpo na kobakisa motango ya bampunda, pamba te Yawe alobaki na bino: « Botikala kozonga lisusu te na nzela oyo. »
17 Neither shall he multiply wives to himself, that his heart turn not away. Neither shall he greatly multiply to himself silver and gold.
Asengeli te kozala na basi ebele noki te motema na ye ekopengwa. Asengeli te kozala na palata mpe wolo ebele koleka.
18 And it shall be, when he sits upon the throne of his kingdom, that he shall write for him a copy of this law in a book, out of it before the priests the Levites,
Tango mokonzi yango akovanda na kiti na ye ya bokonzi, akozwa buku ya Mobeko epai ya Banganga-Nzambe oyo bazali Balevi mpe akokoma makambo oyo ezali na buku yango mpo na ye moko.
19 and it shall be with him. And he shall read in it all the days of his life, that he may learn to fear Jehovah his God, to keep all the words of this law and these statutes, to do them,
Akozala na buku yango tango nyonso mpe akotanga yango mikolo nyonso ya bomoi na ye mpo ete ayekola kokumisa Yawe, Nzambe na ye, mpe asalela malamu maloba nyonso ya Mobeko oyo mpe bikateli na yango;
20 that his heart not be lifted up above his brothers, and that he turn not aside from the commandment, to the right hand, or to the left, to the end that he may prolong his days in his kingdom, he and his sons, in the midst of Israel.
mpo ete atombola te na lolendo liboso ya bandeko na ye to abima te libanda ya mibeko na yango. Boye, ye elongo na bakitani na ye bakowumela tango molayi na bokonzi kati na Isalaele.
