Deuteronomy 21
1 If a man is found slain in the land which Jehovah thy God gives thee to possess it, lying in the field, and it not be known who has smitten him,
Soki kati na mokili oyo Yawe, Nzambe na bino, akopesa bino mpo na kozwa, bakuti moto akufa alali na elanga, bongo moto oyo abomaki ye ayebani te,
2 then thy elders and thy judges shall come forth. And they shall measure to the cities which are round about him who is slain,
bampaka mpe basambisi na bino basengeli kobima mpo na komeka molayi, kobanda na esika oyo ebembe ezali kino na bingumba ya zingazinga,
3 and it shall be, that the city which is nearest to the slain man, even the elders of that city shall take a heifer of the herd, which has not been worked with, and which has not drawn in the yoke,
mpo na koyeba engumba oyo eleki pene. Bongo bampaka ya engumba yango bakozwa mwana ngombe ya mwasi oyo nanu basaleli mosala te mpe nanu bakangi ekangiseli na kingo te;
4 and the elders of that city shall bring down the heifer to a valley with running water, which is neither plowed nor sown, and shall break the heifer's neck there in the valley.
bakomema mwana ngombe yango ya mwasi na lubwaku oyo, kati na yango, basala nanu mosala ya bilanga te mpe balona nanu ata eloko moko te, na esika oyo mayi ezali kotiola. Ezali kuna nde bampaka bakobuka yango kingo.
5 And the priests the sons of Levi shall come near, for Jehovah thy God has chosen them to minister to him, and to bless in the name of Jehovah, and according to their word shall every controversy and every stroke be.
Banganga-Nzambe, bana mibali ya Levi, bakopusana; pamba te ezali bango nde Yawe, Nzambe na bino, apona mpo na kosala mosala na Ye, mpo na kopambola bato na Kombo na Yawe mpe mpo na kokata makambo tango nyonso kowelana mpe kozokisana ezali.
6 And all the elders of that city, who are nearest to the slain man, shall wash their hands over the heifer whose neck was broken in the valley,
Bongo bampaka ya engumba yango bakosukola maboko na bango na likolo ya mwana ngombe ya mwasi oyo bakobuka kingo na lubwaku
7 and they shall answer and say, Our hands have not shed this blood, neither have our eyes seen it.
mpe bakoloba: « Maboko na biso esopaki makila oyo te, mpe miso na biso emonaki te tango likambo yango esalemaki.
8 Forgive, O Jehovah, thy people Israel whom thou have redeemed, and allow no innocent blood to remain in the midst of thy people Israel. And the blood shall be forgiven them.
Eh Yawe, ndima kolimbisa masumu ya Isalaele, bato na Yo, oyo osikolaki. Kotangela bango ngambo te ya makila ya moto oyo ayebi likambo te. » Boye, Yawe akolimbisa bango mpo na makila oyo etangaki.
9 So shall thou put away the innocent blood from the midst of thee when thou shall do that which is right in the eyes of Jehovah.
Na nzela wana nde bokolongola, kati na bino, ngambo ya kosopa makila ya moto oyo ayebi likambo te wana bokosala likambo ya bosembo na miso ya Yawe.
10 When thou go forth to battle against thine enemies, and Jehovah thy God delivers them into thy hands, and thou carry them away captive,
Tango bokokende kobundisa banguna na bino, bongo Yawe, Nzambe na bino, akabi bango na maboko na bino mpe bokangi ndambo ya bato;
11 and see among the captives a beautiful woman, and thou have a desire for her, and would take her to thee to wife,
soki bomoni mwasi ya kitoko kati na bango mpe moko kati na bino asepeli na ye, akoki solo kobala ye.
12 then thou shall bring her home to thy house. And she shall shave her head, and pare her nails,
Boye mobali oyo asepeli kobala mwasi yango akokotisa ye kati na ndako na ye, mpe mwasi yango akomikokola suki ya moto na ye, akomikata manzaka na ye;
13 and she shall put the raiment of her captivity from off her, and shall remain in thy house, and bewail her father and her mother a full month. And after that thou shall go in to her, and be her husband, and she shall be thy wife.
akotia pembeni bilamba oyo alataki tango bakangaki ye mpe akovanda na ndako ya mobali yango. Sima na ye kolela tata mpe mama na ye sanza mobimba, mobali yango akosangisa na ye nzoto mpe akokoma mobali na ye; bongo ye akokoma mwasi ya mobali yango.
14 And it shall be, if thou have no delight in her, then thou shall let her go where she will, but thou shall not sell her at all for money. Thou shall not deal with her harshly, because thou have humbled her.
Soki mobali asepeli lisusu na mwasi yango te, akotika ye kokende na esika nyonso oyo alingi; akoki te koteka ye to kokomisa ye lokola mowumbu, pamba te asambwisaki ye.
15 If a man has two wives, the one beloved, and the other regarded inferior, and they have borne him sons, both the beloved and the one regarded inferior, and if the firstborn son be hers who was regarded inferior,
Soki mobali azali na basi mibale, bongo alingaka moko koleka mosusu, mpe bango mibale baboteli ye bana, kasi mwana ya liboso azali mwana mobali ya mwasi oyo ye alingaka mingi te;
16 then it shall be, in the day that he causes his sons to inherit that which he has, that he may not make the son of the beloved the firstborn before the son of the one regarded inferior, who is the firstborn.
tango akokabola bozwi na ye lokola libula epai ya bana na ye ya mibali; akoki te kokomisa mwana ya liboso, mwana mobali ya mwasi oyo ye alingaka koleka na esika ya mwana mobali ya mwasi oyo ye alingaka mingi te.
17 But he shall acknowledge the firstborn, the son of the one regarded inferior, by giving him a double portion of all that he has, for he is the beginning of his strength. The right of the firstborn is his.
Kasi akozwa mwana mobali ya mwasi oyo ye alingaka mingi te lokola mwana ya liboso mpe akopesa ye biteni mibale ya biloko nyonso oyo azali na yango. Mwana mobali wana azali elembo ya liboso ya bokasi ya tata na ye, boye asengeli kozwa makoki nyonso oyo ebongi na mwana ya liboso.
18 If a man has a stubborn and rebellious son, who will not obey the voice of his father, or the voice of his mother, and, though they chasten him, will not hearken to them,
Soki moto azali na mwana oyo azali moto makasi mpe motomboki, oyo atosaka te ezala tata to mpe mama na ye, mpe ayokelaka bango te ata soki bapesi ye etumbu,
19 then his father and his mother shall lay hold on him, and bring him out to the elders of his city, and to the gate of his place.
tata mpe mama na ye bakokanga ye mpe bakomema ye epai ya bampaka na ekuke ya engumba na bango.
20 And they shall say to the elders of his city, This our son is stubborn and rebellious, he will not obey our voice. He is a glutton, and a drunkard.
Bakoloba na bampaka ya engumba: « Mwana na biso oyo azali moto makasi mpe motomboki, atosaka biso te, azali lokoso mpe molangwi masanga. »
21 And all the men of his city shall stone him to death with stones. So thou shall put away the evil from the midst of thee, and all Israel shall hear, and fear.
Boye bato nyonso ya engumba na ye bakobamba ye mabanga kino akokufa. Na nzela wana nde bokolongola mabe kati na bino. Tango bana nyonso ya Isalaele bakoyoka yango, bakobanga.
22 And if a man has committed a sin worthy of death, and he be put to death, and thou hang him on a tree,
Soki moto asali mabe oyo esengi ete bapesa ye etumbu ya kufa, bongo badiembiki nzoto na ye na nzete,
23 his body shall not remain all night upon the tree, but thou shall surely bury him the same day, for he who is hanged is accursed of God, that thou not defile thy land which Jehovah thy God gives thee for an inheritance.
ebembe na ye ekowumela te butu mobimba na nzete wana; bosengeli kokunda yango kaka na mokolo wana, pamba te moto nyonso oyo badiembiki na nzete azali na se ya bilakeli mabe ya Nzambe. Bosengeli te kokomisa mbindo mokili oyo Yawe, Nzambe na bino, apesi bino lokola libula.
