Deuteronomy 12

1 These are the statutes and ordinances, which ye shall take heed to do in the land, which Jehovah the God of thy fathers is giving thee to possess it, all the days that ye live upon the earth.

Tala bikateli mpe mibeko oyo bosengeli kosalela malamu kati na mokili oyo Yawe, Nzambe ya bakoko na bino, azali kopesa bino mpo na kozwa, na tango nyonso oyo bokowumela kati na mokili yango.

2 Ye shall utterly destroy all the places wherein the nations which ye shall dispossess have served their gods, upon the high mountains, and upon the hills, and under every green tree;

Bobebisa bisika nyonso oyo bato ya bikolo oyo bozali kobengana bazalaki kogumbamela banzambe na bango na likolo ya bangomba ya milayi mpe ya mikuse mpe na se ya banzete nyonso oyo ezali na makasa ya mobesu.

3 and ye shall break down their altars, and shatter their statues, and burn their Asherahs with fire; and ye shall hew down the graven images of their gods, and ye shall destroy the names of them out of that place.

Bokweyisa bitumbelo na bango, bobuka mabanga na bango ya bule, botumba na moto makonzi na bango ya bule, bopanza na biteni bikeko ya banzambe na bango mpe bolimwisa bakombo na bango na bisika wana.

4 Ye shall not do so unto Jehovah your God;

Nzokande mpo na bino, bosengeli te kogumbamela Yawe, Nzambe na bino, na lolenge na bango.

5 but unto the place which Jehovah your God will choose out of all your tribes to set his name there, his habitation shall ye seek, and thither thou shalt come;

Bosengeli koluka esika oyo Yawe, Nzambe na bino, akopona kati na bikolo na bino nyonso mpo na kotia Kombo na Ye mpe mpo na kokomisa yango esika na Ye. Ezali na esika yango kaka nde bosengeli kokende.

6 and thither ye shall bring your burnt-offerings and your sacrifices, and your tithes, and the heave-offering of your hand, and your vows, and your voluntary-offerings, and the firstlings of your kine and of your sheep;

Ezali kuna nde bokomema bambeka na bino ya kotumba, makabo na bino, eteni na bino ya zomi, bakado ya ndenge na ndenge, makabo mpo na kokokisa ndayi, makabo oyo bokokata kopesa wuta na mokano ya mitema na bino moko mpe bana mibali ya liboso ya bangombe, ya bameme mpe ya bantaba na bino.

7 and ye shall eat there before Jehovah your God, and ye shall rejoice, ye and your households, in all the business of your hand, wherein Jehovah thy God hath blessed thee.

Kaka na esika yango, na miso ya Yawe, Nzambe na bino, bino mpe mabota na bino bokolia mpe bokosepela na eloko nyonso oyo bokosala na maboko na bino; pamba te Yawe, Nzambe na bino, apamboli bino.

8 Ye shall not do after all that we do here this day, each one whatever is right in his own eyes.

Bosengeli lisusu te kosala ndenge tozali kosala awa, na mokolo ya lelo: moto nyonso azali kosala ndenge alingi.

9 For ye are not as yet come to the rest and to the inheritance which Jehovah thy God giveth thee.

Pamba te kino lelo, bokoti nanu te na esika ya bopemi mpe bozwi nanu te libula oyo Yawe, Nzambe na bino, azali kopesa bino.

10 But when ye have gone over the Jordan, and dwell in the land which Jehovah your God causeth you to inherit, and when he hath given you rest from all your enemies round about, and ye dwell in safety,

Kasi bokokatisa Yordani mpe bokovanda na mokili oyo Yawe, Nzambe na bino, azali kopesa bino lokola libula. Akopesa bino bopemi na kokangolaka bino na maboko ya banguna na bino nyonso oyo bazingeli bino, mpe bokovanda na kimia.

11 then there shall be a place which Jehovah your God will choose to cause his name to dwell there; thither shall ye bring all that I command you: your burnt-offerings, and your sacrifices, your tithes, and the heave-offering of your hand, and all your choice vows which ye shall vow to Jehovah.

Boye, na esika oyo Yawe, Nzambe na bino, akopona mpo na kotia Kombo na Ye, bokomema eloko nyonso oyo natindi bino: bambeka na bino ya kotumba, makabo na bino, biteni na bino ya zomi, bakado na bino ya ndenge na ndenge mpe biloko nyonso ya kitoko oyo bozali na yango, oyo bolapaki ndayi mpo na kopesa epai na Yawe.

12 And ye shall rejoice before Jehovah your God, ye, and your sons, and your daughters, and your bondmen, and your handmaids, and the Levite that is within your gates; for he hath no portion nor inheritance with you.

Kuna kaka nde bokosepela liboso ya Yawe, Nzambe na bino; bino, bana na bino ya mibali mpe ya basi, bawumbu na bino ya mibali, basi bawumbu na bino, mpe Balevi oyo bazali kati na bingumba na bino, pamba te bazangi eteni ya mabele to libula kati na bino.

13 Take heed to thyself that thou offer not thy burnt-offerings in every place that thou seest;

Bosala keba ete bobonza te bambeka na bino ya kotumba na bisika nyonso oyo bokomona.

14 but in the place which Jehovah will choose in one of thy tribes, there thou shalt offer thy burnt-offerings, and there thou shalt do all that I command thee.

Bokobonza bambeka yango kaka na esika oyo Yawe akopona kati na moko ya bikolo na bino, mpe kuna kaka nde bokosala makambo nyonso oyo natindi bino.

15 Nevertheless, according to all the desire of thy soul thou mayest slay and eat flesh in all thy gates, according to the blessing of Jehovah thy God which he hath given thee: the unclean and the clean may eat thereof, as of the gazelle, and the hart.

Nzokande, bokoki kokata kingo ya bibwele na bino mpe kolia misuni na yango ndenge bolingi kati na bingumba na bino nyonso, ezala mboloko to pambi, kolanda mapamboli oyo Yawe, Nzambe na bino, akopesa bino. Moto ya mbindo to moto ya peto akoki na ye kolia yango.

16 Only, ye shall not eat the blood; ye shall pour it upon the earth as water.

Kasi bosengeli te kolia makila; bosopa yango lokola mayi na mabele.

17 Thou mayest not eat within thy gates the tithe of thy corn, or of thy new wine, or of thine oil, or the firstlings of thy kine or of thy sheep, nor any of thy vows which thou vowest, nor thy voluntary-offerings, nor the heave-offering of thy hand;

Bosengeli te kolia kati na bingumba na bino eteni ya zomi ya bambuma na bino, ya vino na bino ya sika, ya mafuta na bino, bana ya liboso ya bangombe na bino, ya bameme na bino, ya bantaba na bino to makabo nyonso oyo bopesaki mpo na kokokisa ndayi, makabo oyo bokataki kopesa wuta na mokano ya mitema na bino moko to makabo ya ndenge na ndenge.

18 but before Jehovah thy God shalt thou eat them in the place which Jehovah thy God will choose, thou and thy son, and thy daughter, and thy bondman, and thy handmaid, and the Levite that is within thy gates; and thou shalt rejoice before Jehovah thy God in all the business of thy hand.

Kasi bokolia yango kaka na miso ya Yawe, Nzambe na bino, na esika oyo Yawe Nzambe akopona: bino, bana na bino ya mibali mpe ya basi, bawumbu na bino ya mibali, basi bawumbu na bino, Balevi oyo bazali kati na bingumba na bino mpe bokosepela liboso ya Yawe, Nzambe na bino, na mosala nyonso oyo maboko na bino ekosala.

19 Take heed to thyself that thou forsake not the Levite all the days thou shalt be in thy land.

Tango nyonso bokovanda kati na mokili na bino, bosala keba ete bobosana Balevi te.

20 When Jehovah thy God shall enlarge thy border, as he promised thee, and thou say, I will eat flesh, because thy soul longeth to eat flesh, thou mayest eat flesh, according to all the desire of thy soul.

Tango Yawe, Nzambe na bino, akokomisa mokili na bino monene ndenge alakaki bino mpe tango bokozala na posa ya kolia mosuni mpe bokoloba: « Nazali na posa ya kolia mosuni, » bokolia yango ndenge bolingi.

21 If the place which Jehovah thy God will choose to set his name there be too far from thee, then thou shalt slay of thy kine and of thy sheep which Jehovah hath given thee, as I have commanded thee, and thou shalt eat in thy gates according to all the desire of thy soul.

Soki esika oyo Yawe, Nzambe na bino, aponi mpo na kotia Kombo na Ye ezali mosika mingi mpo na bino, wana bokokata kingo ya bangombe na bino, ya bantaba na bino, ya bameme na bino, oyo Yawe apesaki bino ndenge natindaki bino mpe bokoki kolia yango ndenge bolingi kati na bingumba na bino.

22 Even as the gazelle and the hart is eaten, so thou shalt eat them: the unclean and the clean alike may eat of them.

Bokolia yango ndenge baliaka pambi to mboloko; moto nyonso, azala mbindo to peto, akoki na ye kolia yango.

23 Only, be sure that thou eat not the blood; for the blood is the life, and thou mayest not eat the life with the flesh;

Kasi bosala keba ete bolia makila te, pamba te makila ezali bomoi, mpe bosengeli te kolia bomoi elongo na nyama.

24 thou shalt not eat it; thou shalt pour it upon the earth as water:

Bosengeli te kolia makila; kasi bosopa yango na mabele ndenge basopaka mayi.

25 thou shalt not eat it; that it may go well with thee, and with thy children after thee, when thou shalt do what is right in the eyes of Jehovah.

Bolia yango te mpo ete bomona bolamu, bino mpe bana na bino; na nzela wana nde bokosala oyo ezali alima na miso ya Yawe.

26 But thy hallowed things which thou hast, and what thou hast vowed, thou shalt take, and come to the place which Jehovah will choose;

Kasi bokozwa biloko na bino ya bule mpe biloko nyonso oyo bolapaki ndayi mpo na kopesa, mpe bokokende na esika oyo Yawe akopona.

27 and thou shalt offer thy burnt-offerings, the flesh and the blood, upon the altar of Jehovah thy God; and the blood of thy sacrifices shall be poured out upon the altar of Jehovah thy God, and the flesh shalt thou eat.

Bokotumba mosuni mpe makila ya bambeka na bino ya kotumba na etumbelo ya Yawe, Nzambe na bino. Bokosopa makila ya bambeka na bino mosusu na etumbelo ya Yawe, Nzambe na bino; kasi mpo na mosuni na yango, bokoki na bino kolia yango.

28 Take heed to hear all these words which I command thee, that it may be well with thee, and with thy children after thee for ever, when thou doest what is good and right in the eyes of Jehovah thy God.

Bosala keba mpo na kotosa mibeko oyo nazali kopesa bino mpo ete bomona bolamu tango nyonso, bino mpe bana na bino, pamba te na nzela wana nde bokosala oyo ezali malamu mpe alima na miso ya Yawe, Nzambe na bino.

29 When Jehovah thy God cutteth off from before thee the nations whither thou goest, to take possession of them, and thou hast dispossessed them, and dwellest in their land,

Yawe, Nzambe na bino, akolimwisa na liboso na bino bikolo oyo bozali kokende kobundisa mpe kobotola. Kasi tango bokobengana bango mpe bokovanda na bamboka na bango,

30 take heed to thyself that thou be not ensnared [to follow] after them, after that they are destroyed from before thee; and that thou inquire not after their gods, saying, How did these nations serve their gods? even so will I do likewise.

mpe tango bokosilisa kobebisa bango liboso na bino, bosala keba ete bokweya te na motambo na bango ya kosalela banzambe na bango mpe na motambo ya koluka koyeba na komitunaka: « Ndenge nini bikolo oyo esalelaka banzambe na bango? Tokosala ndenge moko mpe kati na bingumba na biso. »

31 Thou shalt not do so to Jehovah thy God; for every [thing that is] abomination to Jehovah, which he hateth, have they done unto their gods; for even their sons and their daughters have they burned in the fire to their gods.

Bokoki te kogumbamela Yawe, Nzambe na bino, ndenge bango basalaka. Pamba te Yawe amonaka yango lokola likambo ya nkele mpe ayinaka makambo oyo basalaki mpo na banzambe na bango: bazalaki ata kotumbaka na moto bana na bango ya mibali mpe ya basi lokola mbeka mpo na banzambe na bango.

32 Everything that I command you, ye shall take heed to do it; thou shalt not add thereto, nor take from it.

Tala, bosala nyonso oyo natindi bino, bobakisa to bolongola ata eloko moko te.
