Deuteronomy 7
1 When the LORD your God brings you into the land that you are entering to possess, and He drives out before you many nations—the Hittites, Girgashites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites, seven nations larger and stronger than you—
Tango Yawe, Nzambe na yo, akokotisa yo na mokili oyo ozali kokende mpo na kozwa yango lokola libula mpe tango akobengana liboso na yo bikolo ebele—bato ya Iti, ya Girigazi, ya Amori, ya Kanana, ya Perizi, ya Evi mpe ya Yebusi, bikolo sambo oyo eleki yo na motango ya bato mpe na makasi—
2 and when the LORD your God has delivered them over to you to defeat them, then you must devote them to complete destruction. Make no treaty with them and show them no mercy.
mpe tango Yawe, Nzambe na yo, akokaba bango na maboko na yo, mpe tango okolonga bango, okobebisa bango nyonso mpe okotika ata ndambo te; okosala ata boyokani moko te elongo na bango; koyokela bango mawa te.
3 Do not intermarry with them. Do not give your daughters to their sons or take their daughters for your sons,
Okosangana ata moke te na bango na nzela ya libala, okopesa te na libala bana na yo ya basi epai ya bana na bango ya mibali, mpe okozwa te na libala bana na bango ya basi mpo na bana na yo ya mibali;
4 because they will turn your sons away from following Me to serve other gods. Then the anger of the LORD will burn against you, and He will swiftly destroy you.
noki te, bakopengwisa bana na yo ya mibali na miso na Ngai mpo ete basalela Ngai lisusu te kasi basalela banzambe mosusu, bongo Yawe akosilikela bino mpe akobebisa yo noki.
5 Instead, this is what you are to do to them: tear down their altars, smash their sacred pillars, cut down their Asherah poles, and burn their idols in the fire.
Tala makambo oyo bosengeli kosala bango: bokokweyisa bitumbelo na bango, bokopanza bikeko na bango, bokobuka makonzi ya nzambe mwasi Ashera mpe bokotumba na moto banzambe na bango ya bikeko,
6 For you are a people holy to the LORD your God. The LORD your God has chosen you to be a people for His prized possession out of all peoples on the face of the earth.
pamba te bozali libota ya bule mpo na Yawe, Nzambe na bino. Yawe, Nzambe na bino, aponaki bino kati na bato nyonso oyo bazali na mokili mpo ete bozala bato na Ye, bozwi na Ye moko penza.
7 The LORD did not set His affection on you and choose you because you were more numerous than the other peoples, for you were the fewest of all peoples.
Ezali te mpo ete bozalaki mingi koleka bato mosusu nde Yawe alakisaki bino bolingo na Ye, bozalaki kutu moke koleka bato nyonso.
8 But because the LORD loved you and kept the oath He swore to your fathers, He brought you out with a mighty hand and redeemed you from the house of slavery, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt.
Kasi ezali mpo ete Yawe alingaka bino mpe abatelaka ndayi oyo alapaki epai ya bakoko na bino. Yango wana, na loboko na Ye ya nguya, Yawe abimisaki bino mpe asikolaki bino na mokili ya bowumbu, na maboko ya Faraon, mokonzi ya Ejipito.
9 Know therefore that the LORD your God is God, the faithful God who keeps His covenant of loving devotion for a thousand generations of those who love Him and keep His commandments.
Boye yeba ete Yawe, Nzambe na yo, azali Nzambe moko kaka ya solo; azali Nzambe ya boyengebene, abatelaka boyokani mpe bolingo na Ye kino na molongo ya nkoto ya bakitani oyo balingaka Ye mpe babatelaka mibeko na Ye.
10 But those who hate Him He repays to their faces with destruction; He will not hesitate to repay to his face the one who hates Him.
Kasi azelaka te kopesa etumbu na moto oyo ayinaka Ye mpe abomaka ye mbala moko.
11 So keep the commandments and statutes and ordinances that I am giving you to follow this day.
Yango wana, bosala keba mpo na kosalela mitindo, bikateli mpe mibeko oyo napesi bino lelo.
12 If you listen to these ordinances and keep them carefully, then the LORD your God will keep His covenant and the loving devotion that He swore to your fathers.
Soki bokosala keba na mibeko oyo mpe bokosalela yango malamu, Yawe, Nzambe na bino, akobatela bolingo mpe boyokani na Ye elongo na bino ndenge alapaki ndayi epai ya bakoko na bino.
13 He will love you and bless you and multiply you. He will bless the fruit of your womb and the produce of your land—your grain, new wine, and oil, the young of your herds and the lambs of your flocks—in the land that He swore to your fathers to give you.
Akolinga bino mpe akopambola bino, akokomisa bino ebele, akopambola mabota na bino, mbuma ya mabele na bino: milona na bino, vino ya sika mpe mafuta; akopambola bitonga ya bangombe na bino, bameme na bino mpe bantaba na bino kati na mokili oyo alapaki ndayi epai ya bakoko na bino ete akopesa bino yango.
14 You will be blessed above all peoples; among you there will be no barren man or woman or livestock.
Bokopambolama koleka bato nyonso. Mobali moko te to mwasi moko te akozanga bana, mpe ebwele na yo moko te ekozanga bana.
15 And the LORD will remove from you all sickness. He will not lay upon you any of the terrible diseases you knew in Egypt, but He will inflict them on all who hate you.
Yawe akobatela yo na bokono nyonso, akobwakela yo ata bokono moko te oyo yo oyebaki te na Ejipito, kasi akokweyisa yango likolo ya bayini na yo.
16 You must destroy all the peoples the LORD your God will deliver to you. Do not look on them with pity. Do not worship their gods, for that will be a snare to you.
Okoboma bato nyonso oyo Yawe, Nzambe na yo, akokaba na maboko na yo; okoyokela bango mawa te. Kosalela banzambe na bango te mpo ete yango ekozala motambo mpo na yo.
17 You may say in your heart, “These nations are greater than we are; how can we drive them out?”
Tango mosusu okomilobela: « Bikolo oyo ezali makasi koleka biso, ndenge nini tokolonga kobengana yango? »
18 But do not be afraid of them. Be sure to remember what the LORD your God did to Pharaoh and all Egypt:
Te! Kobanga yango soki moke te! Kanisa malamu makambo oyo Yawe, Nzambe na yo, asalaki Faraon mpe Ejipito mobimba.
19 the great trials that you saw, the signs and wonders, and the mighty hand and outstretched arm by which the LORD your God brought you out. The LORD your God will do the same to all the peoples you now fear.
Omonaki na miso na yo komekama makasi, bilembo ya kokamwa mpe bikamwa, loboko ya nguya mpe loboko esembolama oyo na nzela na yango Yawe, Nzambe na yo, abimisaki yo na Ejipito. Yawe, Nzambe na yo, akosala ndenge moko epai ya bato oyo ozali kobanga.
20 Moreover, the LORD your God will send the hornet against them until even the survivors hiding from you have perished.
Mpe kutu, Yawe, Nzambe na yo, akotindela bango banzoyi ya minene kino tango bato oyo bakotikala mpe bakobombama liboso na yo bakokufa.
21 Do not be terrified by them, for the LORD your God, who is among you, is a great and awesome God.
Kolenga te liboso na bango, pamba te Yawe, Nzambe na yo, oyo azali kati na yo, azali Nzambe Monene mpe ya somo.
22 The LORD your God will drive out these nations before you little by little. You will not be enabled to eliminate them all at once, or the wild animals would multiply around you.
Yawe, Nzambe na yo, akobengana moke-moke bikolo oyo ezali liboso na yo; okokoka te kosilisa bango na mbala moko, noki te banyama mabe ekokoma ebele zingazinga na yo.
23 But the LORD your God will give them over to you and throw them into great confusion, until they are destroyed.
Kasi Yawe, Nzambe na yo, akokaba bango na maboko na yo, akotia bango noki na mobulu monene kino bakobebisama.
24 He will hand their kings over to you, and you will wipe out their names from under heaven. No one will be able to stand against you; you will annihilate them.
Yawe akokaba bakonzi na bango na maboko na yo, mpe okolimwisa bakombo na bango na mokili; moko te akokoka kotelemela yo, okobebisa bango.
25 You must burn up the images of their gods; do not covet the silver and gold that is on them or take it for yourselves, or you will be ensnared by it; for it is detestable to the LORD your God.
Okotumba na moto banzambe na bango ya bikeko. Kolula te mpe kozwa te palata mpe wolo oyo ezali na likolo na yango, ekoki kozala motambo mpo na yo; pamba te ezali nkele na miso ya Yawe, Nzambe na yo.
26 And you must not bring any detestable thing into your house, or you, like it, will be set apart for destruction. You are to utterly detest and abhor it, because it is set apart for destruction.
Kokotisa te mpe kolinga te eloko ya mbindo kati na ndako na yo. Okotia yango pembeni mpo na kobebisa yango nyonso. Zwa yango lokola eloko ya nkele mpe ya mbindo, pamba te etiami pembeni mpo na kobebisama.
