< Deuteronomy 1 >

1 These [are] the words which Moses spoke to all Israel on this side Jordan in the desert towards the west near the Red Sea, between Pharan Tophol, and Lobon, and Aulon, and the gold works.
Tala maloba oyo Moyize ayebisaki bana nyonso ya Isalaele na ngambo ya este ya Yordani kati na esobe, kati na etando Araba oyo etalana na Sufi, kati ya Parani mpe Tofeli, kati ya Labani, Atseroti mpe Di-Zaabi.
2 [It is] a journey of eleven days from Choreb to mount Seir as far as Cades Barne.
Esengaka mikolo zomi na moko ya mobembo wuta na Orebi kino na Kadeshi-Barinea, na nzela ya ngomba Seiri.
3 And it came to pass in the fortieth year, in the eleventh month, on the first [day] of the month, Moses spoke to all the children of Israel, according to all things which the Lord commanded him for them:
Na mokolo ya liboso ya sanza ya zomi na moko, na mobu ya minei, Moyize alobaki na bana ya Isalaele makambo nyonso oyo Yawe atindaki ye na tina na bango.
4 after he had smitten Seon king of the Amorites who dwelt in Esebon, and Og the king of Basan who dwelt in Astaroth and in Edrain;
Makambo yango esalemaki sima na Moyize kolonga Sikoni, mokonzi ya bato ya Amori, oyo azalaki koyangela wuta na Eshiboni, mpe sima na ye kolonga Ogi, mokonzi ya Bashani, oyo azalaki kovanda na Ashitaroti mpe na Edreyi.
5 beyond Jordan in the land of Moab, Moses began to declare this law, saying,
Ezalaki na ngambo ya este ya Yordani, na mokili ya Moabi, nde Moyize alimbolaki mobeko oyo. Alobaki na bango:
6 The Lord your God spoke to us in Choreb, saying, Let it suffice you to have dwelt [so long] in this mountain.
« Yawe, Nzambe na biso, alobaki na biso, na ngomba Orebi: ‹ Bowumeli mpe mingi na ngomba oyo.
7 Turn ye and depart and enter into the mountain of the Amorites, and [go] to all that dwell near about Araba, to the mountain and the plain and to the south, and the land of the Chananites near the sea, and Antilibanus, as far as the great river, the river Euphrates.
Bolongola molako mpe bokende kino na etuka ya bangomba ya bato ya Amori; bokende na bamboka nyonso oyo ezali pene ya Araba, na bangomba, na mboka ya se, na Negevi mpe pembeni-pembeni ya mayi monene, kati na mokili ya bato ya Kanana mpe na mokili ya Libani kino na Efrate, ebale monene.
8 Behold, [God] has delivered the land before you; go in and inherit the land, which I sware to your fathers, Abraam, and Isaac, and Jacob, to give it to them and to their seed after them.
Tala, napesi bino mokili oyo. Bokota mpe bokamata mokili oyo Yawe alakaki kopesa, na nzela ya ndayi, epai ya bakoko na bino —Abrayami, Izaki, Jakobi— mpe bakitani na bango. › »
9 And I spoke to you at that time, saying, I shall not be able by myself to bear you.
Na tango wana, nalobaki na bino: — Ngai moko nakokoka te kokamba bino.
10 The Lord your God has multiplied you, and, behold, ye are to-day as the stars of heaven for multitude.
Yawe, Nzambe na bino, akomisi bino ebele koleka mpe tala lelo motango na bino ekomi lokola minzoto na likolo.
11 The Lord God of your fathers add to you a thousand-fold more than you are, and bless you as he has spoken to you.
Tika ete Yawe, Nzambe ya bakoko na bino, akomisa bino ebele mbala nkoto moko mpe apambola bino ndenge alakaki!
12 How shall I alone be able to bear your labour, and your burden, and your gainsayings?
Nakokoka ndenge nini komema ngai moko makambo na bino, mikumba na bino, mpe kowelana na bino?
13 Take to yourselves wise and understanding and prudent men for your tribes, and I will set your leaders over you.
Bopona bato ya bwanya, ya mayele mpe ya lokumu kati na moko na moko ya mabota na bino, mpe ngai nakotia bango bakambi na bino.
14 And ye answered me and said, The thing which thou hast told us [is] good to do.
Bozongiselaki ngai: — Makambo oyo osili koyebisa biso ezali malamu.
15 So I took of you wise and understanding and prudent men, and I set them to rule over you as rulers of thousands, and rulers of hundreds, and rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens, and officers to your judges.
Boye, nazwaki bakambi kati na mabota na bino, bato ya lokumu mpe ya bwanya, bongo nakomisaki bango bakambi ya bankoto, ya bankama, ya batuku mitano mpe ya bazomi, mpe bakalaka mpo na mabota na bino.
16 And I charged your judges at that time, saying, Hear [causes] between your brethren, and judge rightly between a man and [his] brother, and the stranger that is with him.
Na tango wana, napesaki bakambi na bino mokumba oyo: « Boyoka kowelana oyo ezali kati na bandeko na bino mpe bokata makambo na bosembo; ezala kowelana kati ya bana ya Isalaele bango na bango to kati ya mwana ya Isalaele mpe mopaya.
17 Thou shalt not have respect to persons in judgment, thou shalt judge small and great equally; thou shalt not shrink from before the person of a man, for the judgment is God's; and whatsoever matter shall be too hard for you, ye shall bring it to me, and I will hear it.
Bopona bilongi te na tango ya kosambisa, boyoka bato nyonso: azala moto pamba to moto monene. Bobanga moto te, pamba te kosambisa ezali likambo ya Nzambe. Bomemela ngai likambo oyo eleki bino na makasi mpe ngai nakoyoka yango. »
18 And I charged upon you at that time all the commands which ye shall perform.
Mpe na tango wana, nayebisaki bino makambo nyonso oyo bosengeli kosala.
19 And we departed from Choreb, and went through all that great wilderness and terrible, which ye saw, by the way of the mountain of the Amorite, as the Lord our God charged us, and we came as far as Cades Barne.
Boye, ndenge Yawe, Nzambe na biso, atindaki biso, tolongwaki na ngomba Orebi mpe tokendeki na etuka ya bangomba ya bato ya Amori. Tokatisaki esobe monene mpe ya somo oyo bomonaki mpe tokomaki na Kadeshi-Barinea.
20 And I said to you, Ye have come as far as the mountain of the Amorite, which the Lord our God gives to you:
Nalobaki na bino: — Bosili kokoma na etuka ya bangomba ya bato ya Amori, etuka oyo Yawe, Nzambe na biso, apesi biso.
21 behold, the Lord your God has delivered to us the land before you: go up and inherit it as the Lord God of your fathers said to you; fear not, neither be afraid.
Botala, Yawe, Nzambe na bino, apesi bino mokili; bokende mpe bokamata yango ndenge Yawe, Nzambe ya bakoko na bino, alobaki na bino. Bobanga te mpe bozala na mpiko.
22 And ye all came to me, and said, Let us send men before us, and let them go up to the land for us; and let them bring back to us a report of the way by which we shall go up, and of the cities into which we shall enter.
Bato nyonso kati na bino bayaki epai na ngai mpe balobaki: — Tika ete totinda liboso na biso bato mpo na konongela biso mokili mpe komemela biso sango ya nzela oyo tokoki kolanda mpe ya bingumba epai wapi tokokende.
23 And the saying pleased me: and I took of you twelve men, one man of a tribe.
Likanisi yango emonanaki malamu na miso na ngai, yango wana naponaki kati na bino mibali zomi na mibale, mobali moko mpo na libota moko.
24 And they turned and went up to the mountain, and they came as far as the valley of the cluster, and surveyed it.
Balongwaki mpe bakendeki, bongo bamataki kino na etuka ya bangomba mpe bakomaki na lubwaku ya Eshikoli oyo banongaki.
25 And they took in their hands of the fruit of the land, and brought it to you, and said, The land is good which the Lord our God gives us.
Bakamataki na maboko na bango ndambo ya bambuma ya mokili wana mpe bamemelaki biso yango. Tala sango oyo bapesaki biso: « Mboka oyo Yawe, Nzambe na biso, apesi biso ezali malamu. »
26 Yet ye would not go up, but rebelled against the words of the Lord our God.
Kasi boboyaki komata, botombokelaki etinda ya Yawe, Nzambe na bino.
27 And ye murmured in your tents, and said, Because the Lord hated us, he has brought us out of the land of Egypt to deliver us into the hands of the Amorites, to destroy us.
Bongo boyimaki-yimaki kati na bandako na bino mpe bolobaki: « Yawe alingaka biso te, yango wana abimisaki biso na Ejipito mpo na kokaba biso na maboko ya bato ya Amori mpo ete bango baboma biso.
28 Whither do we go up? and your brethren drew away your heart, saying, [It is a] great nation and populous, and mightier than we; and [there are] cities great and walled up to heaven: moreover we saw there the sons of the giants.
Boni, tokende kaka kuna? Bandeko na biso basili kolembisa biso nzoto. Balobi: ‹ Bato yango bazali makasi mpe bingambe koleka biso, bingumba na bango ezali minene mpe bamir na yango ekenda kino na likolo. Tomonaki lisusu bana ya Anaki kuna. › »
29 And I said to you, Fear not, neither be ye afraid of them;
Nalobaki na bino: « Bozala na somo te mpe bobanga bango te,
30 the Lord your God who goes before your face, he shall fight against them together with you effectually, according to all that he wrought for you in the land of Egypt;
pamba te Yawe, Nzambe na bino, azali kotambola liboso na bino mpe akobunda mpo na bino ndenge asalaki na Ejipito, na miso ya bato nyonso.
31 and in this wilderness which ye saw, by the way of the mountain of the Amorite; how the Lord thy God will bear thee as a nursling, as if any man should nurse his child, through all the way which ye have gone until ye came to this place.
Mpe na esobe, na banzela nyonso oyo botambolaki kino bokoma na esika oyo, bomonaki ndenge nini Yawe, Nzambe na bino, amemaki bino ndenge tata amemaka mwana na ye. »
32 And in this matter ye believed not the Lord our God,
Atako bongo, botiaki elikya te epai na Yawe, Nzambe na bino,
33 who goes before you in the way to choose you a place, guiding you in fire by night, shewing you the way by which ye go, and a cloud by day.
oyo azalaki kotambola liboso na bino na nzela mpo na kolukela bino esika ya kotonga molako. Na butu, azalaki lokola likonzi ya moto; mpe na moyi, azalaki lokola likonzi ya lipata; mpo na kolakisa bino nzela oyo bosengelaki kotambola.
34 And the Lord heard the voice of your words, and being greatly provoked he sware, saying,
Tango Yawe ayokaki nyonso oyo bozalaki koloba, asilikaki mpe alapaki ndayi:
35 Not one of these men shall see this good land, which I sware to their fathers,
« Moto moko te kati na molongo oyo ya bato mabe akoki komona mokili ya kitoko oyo nalakaki kopesa na bakoko na bango na nzela ya ndayi,
36 except Chaleb the son of Jephonne, he shall see it; and to him I will give the land on which he went up, and to his sons, because he attended to the things of the Lord.
longola kaka Kalebi, mwana mobali ya Yefune; ye akomona yango, mpe nakopesa na ye mpe na bakitani na ye, mokili oyo lokolo na ye enyataki, pamba te asalelaki Ngai Yawe na motema na ye mobimba. »
37 And the Lord was angry with me for your sake, saying, Neither shalt thou by any means enter therein.
Likolo na bino, Yawe asilikelaki mpe ngai; alobaki: « Yo mpe lisusu okokota te kati na mokili yango.
38 Joshua the son of Naue, who stands by thee, he shall enter in there; do thou strengthen him, for he shall cause Israel to inherit it.
Kasi mosungi na yo Jozue, mwana mobali ya Nuni, ye akokota kati na yango. Lendisa ye, pamba te ye nde akokamba Isalaele mpo na kozwa mokili yango lokola libula.
39 And every young child who this day knows not good or evil, —they shall enter therein, and to them I will give it, and they shall inherit it.
Bongo, bana na bino oyo bolobaki ete bakomema bango na bowumbu, bana na bino oyo bayebi nanu te kokesenisa malamu mpe mabe, bango nde bakokota na mokili yango. Nakopesa bango mokili yango, mpe bakokamata yango.
40 And ye turned and marched into the wilderness, in the way by the Red Sea.
Mpo na bino, bobaluka mpe bokende na esobe, na nzela ya ebale monene ya Barozo. »
41 And ye answered and said, We have sinned before the Lord our God; we will go up and fight according to all that the Lord our God has commanded us: and having taken every one his weapons of war, and being gathered together, ye went up to the mountain.
Bozongiselaki ngai: « Tosali masumu epai na Yawe. Tokokende mpe tokobunda ndenge Yawe, Nzambe na biso, atindaki biso. » Boye, moto nyonso kati na bino alataki bibundeli na ye, mpe bokanisaki ete ezali likambo ya pasi te komata na etuka ya bangomba.
42 And the Lord said to me, Tell them, Ye shall not go up, neither shall ye fight, for I am not with you; thus shall ye not be destroyed before your enemies.
Kasi Yawe alobaki na ngai: « Yebisa bango ete bamata te mpe babunda te, pamba te nakozala elongo na bango te; banguna na bango bakolonga bango. »
43 And I spoke to you, and ye did not hearken to me; and ye transgressed the commandment of the Lord; and ye forced your way and went up into the mountain.
Nzokande nayebisaki bino, kasi boyokaki kaka te; botombokelaki mitindo ya Yawe; mpe, na lolendo na bino, bomataki na etuka ya bangomba.
44 And the Amorite who dwelt in that mountain came out to meet you, and pursued you as bees do, and wounded you from Seir to Herma.
Boye, bato ya Amori oyo bavandaka na bangomba yango bakitelaki bino mpe babundisaki bino, babenganaki bino lokola liboke ya banzoyi mpe balongaki bino longwa na Seiri kino na Orima.
45 And ye sat down and wept before the Lord our God, and the Lord hearkened not to your voice, neither did he take heed to you.
Bozongaki mpe bolelaki liboso ya Yawe, kasi aboyaki koyoka kolela na bino, akangaki matoyi na Ye.
46 And ye dwelt in Cades many days, as many days as ye dwelt [there].
Bongo bovandaki na Kadeshi mikolo ebele.
