Deuteronomy 21
1 If one is found slain, lying in a field in the land that the LORD your God is giving you to possess, and it is not known who killed 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 your elders and judges must come out and measure the distance from the victim to the neighboring cities.
bampaka mpe basambisi na bino basengeli kobima mpo na komeka molayi, kobanda na esika oyo ebembe ezali kino na bingumba ya zingazinga,
3 Then the elders of the city nearest the victim shall take a heifer that has never been yoked or used for work,
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 bring the heifer to a valley with running water that has not been plowed or sown, and break its neck there by the stream.
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 forward, for the LORD your God has chosen them to serve Him and pronounce blessings in His name and to give a ruling in every dispute and case of assault.
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 Then all the elders of the city nearest the victim shall wash their hands by the stream over the heifer whose neck has been broken,
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 declare, “Our hands did not shed this blood, nor did our eyes see it.
mpe bakoloba: « Maboko na biso esopaki makila oyo te, mpe miso na biso emonaki te tango likambo yango esalemaki.
8 Accept this atonement, O LORD, for Your people Israel whom You have redeemed, and do not hold the shedding of innocent blood against them.” And the bloodshed will be atoned for.
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 you shall purge from among you the guilt of shedding innocent blood, since you have done what is right in the eyes of the LORD.
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 you go to war against your enemies and the LORD your God delivers them into your hand and you take them captive,
Tango bokokende kobundisa banguna na bino, bongo Yawe, Nzambe na bino, akabi bango na maboko na bino mpe bokangi ndambo ya bato;
11 if you see a beautiful woman among them, and you desire her and want to take her as your wife,
soki bomoni mwasi ya kitoko kati na bango mpe moko kati na bino asepeli na ye, akoki solo kobala ye.
12 then you shall bring her into your house. She must shave her head, trim 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 put aside the clothing of her captivity. After she has lived in your house a full month and mourned her father and mother, you may have relations with her and be her husband, and she shall be your 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 if you are not pleased with her, you are to let her go wherever she wishes. But you must not sell her for money or treat her as a slave, since you have dishonored 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, one beloved and the other unloved, and both bear him sons, but the unloved wife has the firstborn son,
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 when that man assigns his inheritance to his sons he must not appoint the son of the beloved wife as the firstborn over the son of the unloved wife.
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 Instead, he must acknowledge the firstborn, the son of his unloved wife, by giving him a double portion of all that he has. For that son is the firstfruits of his father’s strength; the right of the firstborn belongs to him.
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 does not obey his father and mother and does not listen to them when disciplined,
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 his father and mother are to lay hold of him and bring him to the elders of his city, to the gate of his hometown,
tata mpe mama na ye bakokanga ye mpe bakomema ye epai ya bampaka na ekuke ya engumba na bango.
20 and say to the elders, “This son of ours is stubborn and rebellious; he does not obey us. 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 Then all the men of his city will stone him to death. So you must purge the evil from among you, and all Israel will hear and be afraid.
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 If a man has committed a sin worthy of death, and he is executed, and you hang his body on a tree,
Soki moto asali mabe oyo esengi ete bapesa ye etumbu ya kufa, bongo badiembiki nzoto na ye na nzete,
23 you must not leave the body on the tree overnight, but you must be sure to bury him that day, because anyone who is hung on a tree is under God’s curse. You must not defile the land that the LORD your God is giving you as 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.
