< Deuteronomy 23 >
1 No man with crushed or severed genitals may enter the assembly of the LORD.
Mobali moko te oyo baboma mokongo to balongola nzoto ya mibali akoki kokota na lisanga ya Yawe.
2 No one of illegitimate birth may enter the assembly of the LORD, nor may any of his descendants, even to the tenth generation.
Mwana makangu moko te to bakitani na ye bakoki kokota na lisanga ya Yawe ata sima na milongo zomi.
3 No Ammonite or Moabite or any of their descendants may enter the assembly of the LORD, even to the tenth generation.
Moto moko te ya Amoni to ya Moabi to bakitani na bango bakoki kokota na lisanga ya Yawe ata sima na milongo zomi.
4 For they did not meet you with food and water on your way out of Egypt, and they hired Balaam son of Beor from Pethor in Aram-naharaim to curse you.
Pamba te bayaki te koyamba bino na mapa mpe na mayi na nzela na bino tango bobimaki na Ejipito; mpe bazwaki Balami, mwana mobali ya Beori, moto ya Petori, wuta na mokili ya Mezopotami, mpo ete alakela bino mabe.
5 Yet the LORD your God would not listen to Balaam, and the LORD your God turned the curse into a blessing for you, because the LORD your God loves you.
Kasi Yawe, Nzambe na bino, ayokaki Balami te mpe abongolaki elakeli mabe lipamboli mpo na bino, pamba te Yawe, Nzambe na bino, alingi bino.
6 You are not to seek peace or prosperity from them as long as you live.
Tango nyonso bokozala na bomoi, bokoki te kosala boyokani ya kimia elongo na bango.
7 Do not despise an Edomite, for he is your brother. Do not despise an Egyptian, because you lived as a foreigner in his land.
Bokoki te komona bato ya Edomi lokola bato ya mbindo, pamba te bazali bandeko na bino. Bokoki te komona bato ya Ejipito lokola bato ya mbindo, pamba te bovandaki kati na mokili na bango lokola bapaya.
8 The third generation of children born to them may enter the assembly of the LORD.
Bakitani na bango, kobanda na molongo ya misato, nde bakoki kokota na lisanga ya Yawe.
9 When you are encamped against your enemies, then you shall keep yourself from every wicked thing.
Tango bokotonga milako mpo na kobundisa banguna na bino, bozala mosika na eloko nyonso oyo ezali mbindo.
10 If any man among you becomes unclean because of a nocturnal emission, he must leave the camp and stay outside.
Soki mobali moko kati na bino azali mbindo, pamba te abimisaki mayi ya mibali na butu, asengeli kokende libanda ya molako mpe kovanda kuna.
11 When evening approaches, he must wash with water, and when the sun sets he may return to the camp.
Kasi na pokwa, na tango moyi elalaka, asengeli komisukola nzoto mpe kozonga na molako.
12 You must have a place outside the camp to go and relieve yourself.
Bokopona esika moko na libanda ya molako, mpo na kosala zongo.
13 And you must have a digging tool in your equipment so that when you relieve yourself you can dig a hole and cover up your excrement.
Moto na moto, kati na bisalelo na ye, asengeli kozala na pawu ya moke mpo na kotimola mabele; mpe soki akei kosala zongo inene, akotimola mwa libulu mpe akokunda nyei na ye.
14 For the LORD your God walks throughout your camp to protect you and deliver your enemies to you. Your camp must be holy, lest He see anything unclean among you and turn away from you.
Pamba te Yawe, Nzambe na bino, atambolaka kati na molako na bino mpo na kobatela bino mpe kokangola bino na maboko ya banguna na bino. Molako na bino esengeli kozala bule mpo ete akoka komona te eloko moko ya mbindo kati na bino mpe apesa bino mokongo te.
15 Do not return a slave to his master if he has taken refuge with you.
Soki mowumbu ayei kobombama epai na yo, kozongisa ye te na maboko ya nkolo na ye.
16 Let him live among you wherever he chooses, in the town of his pleasing. Do not oppress him.
Tika ete awumela epai na yo, na esika nyonso oyo alingi, mpe na engumba nyonso oyo aponi; konyokola ye te.
17 No daughter or son of Israel is to be a shrine prostitute.
Kati na bana ya Isalaele, azala mobali to mwasi, moko te asengeli komipesa na kindumba ya bule.
18 You must not bring the wages of a prostitute, whether female or male, into the house of the LORD your God to fulfill any vow, because both are detestable to the LORD your God.
Bosengeli te kokotisa na Tempelo ya Yawe, Nzambe na bino, lifuti ya mwasi ya ndumba to ya mobali ya ndumba, mpo na kokokisa ndayi ya lolenge nyonso, pamba te Yawe, Nzambe na bino, amonaka bango nyonso mibale nkele.
19 Do not charge your brother interest on money, food, or any other type of loan.
Okoki te kozwa mileki epai ya ndeko na yo tango odefisi ye mosolo, bilei to eloko mosusu oyo ekoki kobota mileki.
20 You may charge a foreigner interest, but not your brother, so that the LORD your God may bless you in everything to which you put your hand in the land that you are entering to possess.
Okoki kozwa mileki epai ya mopaya, kasi epai ya ndeko na yo moto ya Isalaele te; mpo ete Yawe, Nzambe na bino, apambola bino na misala nyonso oyo maboko na bino ekosala kati na mokili oyo bokokota mpo na kozwa.
21 If you make a vow to the LORD your God, do not be slow to keep it, because He will surely require it of you, and you will be guilty of sin.
Soki olapi ndayi epai na Yawe, Nzambe na yo, kowumela te mpo na kokokisa yango; noki te Yawe, Nzambe na yo, akotuna yo yango mpe ekozala lisumu mpo na yo.
22 But if you refrain from making a vow, you will not be guilty of sin.
Kasi soki oboyi na yo kolapa ndayi, okomema ngambo te.
23 Be careful to follow through on what comes from your lips, because you have freely vowed to the LORD your God with your own mouth.
Likambo nyonso oyo bibebu na yo ekobimisa, osengeli kosalela yango, pamba te olapaki ndayi epai na Yawe, Nzambe na yo, na monoko na yo moko mpe wuta na mokano ya motema na yo.
24 When you enter your neighbor’s vineyard, you may eat your fill of grapes, but you must not put any in your basket.
Soki okoti na elanga ya vino ya moninga na yo, okoki kolia bambuma nyonso oyo olingi, kasi kotia eloko moko te na kitunga na yo.
25 When you enter your neighbor’s grainfield, you may pluck the heads of grain with your hand, but you must not put a sickle to your neighbor’s grain.
Soki okoti na elanga ya ble ya moninga na yo, okoki kobuka ble na maboko, kasi kosalela mbeli te.
