Deuteronomy 8
1 Every commandment which I command thee this day shall ye take heed to do, that ye may live, and multiply, and enter in and possess the land which Jehovah swore unto your fathers.
Salela na bokebi mitindo nyonso oyo nalingi kopesa bino lelo mpo ete bokoka kovanda, kokoma ebele, kokota mpe kozwa mokili oyo Yawe alakaki epai ya bakoko na bino na nzela ya ndayi.
2 And thou shalt remember all the way which Jehovah thy God led thee these forty years in the wilderness, to humble thee, and to prove thee, to know what was in thy heart, whether thou wouldest keep his commandments or not.
Kobosanaka te ndenge Yawe, Nzambe na yo, akambaki yo na mobembo nyonso kati na esobe mibu tuku minei, mpe ndenge abukaki lolendo na yo mpe amekaki yo mpo na koyeba mozindo ya motema na yo mpe kotala soki okotosa mibeko na Ye to te.
3 And he humbled thee, and suffered thee to hunger, and fed thee with the manna, which thou hadst not known, and which thy fathers knew not; that he might make thee know that man doth not live by bread alone, but by everything that goeth out of the mouth of Jehovah doth man live.
Abukaki lolendo na yo, abomaki yo nzala mpe aleisaki yo mana oyo yo mpe batata na yo botikalaki koyeba te, mpo na koteya yo ete moto abikaka kaka na lipa te, kasi mpe na maloba nyonso oyo ebimaka na monoko ya Yawe.
4 Thy clothing grew not old upon thee, neither did thy foot swell, these forty years.
Bilamba na yo etikalaki konzuluka te mpe makolo na yo etikalaki kovimba te na mibu wana tuku minei.
5 And know in thy heart that, as a man chasteneth his son, so Jehovah thy God chasteneth thee;
Boye sosola ete Yawe, Nzambe na yo, azalaki koteya yo ndenge tata ateyaka mwana na ye.
6 and thou shalt keep the commandments of Jehovah thy God, to walk in his ways, and to fear him.
Tosaka mitindo ya Yawe, Nzambe na yo, na kotambolaka na banzela na Ye mpe na kopesaka Ye lokumu.
7 For Jehovah thy God bringeth thee into a good land, a land of water-brooks, of springs, and of deep waters, that gush forth in the valleys and hills;
Pamba te Yawe, Nzambe na yo, azali kokotisa yo na mokili ya malamu, mokili oyo etonda na mayi, na mabulu ya mayi mpe na bitima oyo etiolaka na lubwaku mpe na bangomba;
8 a land of wheat, and barley, and vines, and fig-trees, and pomegranates; a land of olive-trees and honey;
mokili oyo etonda na ble, na orje, na vino, na banzete ya figi, na banzete ya grenade; mokili ya mafuta ya olive mpe ya nzoyi;
9 a land wherein thou shalt eat bread without scarceness, where thou shalt lack nothing; a land whose stones are iron, and out of whose mountains thou wilt dig copper.
mokili oyo bokozanga lipa te mpe eloko moko te; mokili oyo mabanga ezali bibende mpe bokoki kobimisa motako na bangomba.
10 And thou shalt eat and be filled, and shalt bless Jehovah thy God for the good land which he hath given thee.
Tango bokolia mpe bokotonda, bosanzola Yawe, Nzambe na bino, mpo na mokili ya malamu oyo apesi bino.
11 Beware that thou forget not Jehovah thy God, in not keeping his commandments, and his ordinances, and his statutes, which I command thee this day;
Sala keba ete obosana te Yawe, Nzambe na yo, na kozanga kotosa mitindo na Ye, mibeko na Ye mpe bikateli na Ye oyo nazali kopesa yo lelo.
12 lest when thou hast eaten and art full, and hast built and inhabited fine houses,
Tango okolia mpe okotonda, tango okotonga bandako ya kitoko mpe okovanda kuna,
13 and thy herds and thy flocks multiply, and thy silver and thy gold is multiplied, and all that thou hast is multiplied,
tango bangombe na yo, bantaba na yo mpe bameme na yo ekobotana mingi, tango palata na yo mpe wolo na yo ekokoma ebele mpe biloko nyonso oyo ozali na yango ekokoma ebele;
14 then thy heart be lifted up, and thou forget Jehovah thy God, who brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage;
sala keba ete motema na yo etonda na lofundu te mpe obosana te Yawe, Nzambe na yo, oyo abimisaki yo na Ejipito, mokili ya bowumbu,
15 who led thee through the great and terrible wilderness, [a wilderness of] fiery serpents, and scorpions, and drought, where there is no water; who brought thee forth water out of the rock of flint;
oyo akambaki yo na esobe ya monene mpe ya somo, na bitando ekawuka mpe ezanga mayi, etando etonda na banyoka ya ngenge mpe na koto mpe abimiselaki yo mayi ya komela wuta na libanga moko ya makasi.
16 who fed thee in the wilderness with manna, which thy fathers knew not, that he might humble thee, and that he might prove thee, to do thee good at thy latter end;
Kati na esobe yango, apesaki yo mana mpo na kolia, bilei oyo batata na yo batikala koyeba te, mpo na kobuka lolendo na yo mpe komeka yo, mpo ete na suka, okoka komona bolamu.
17 — and thou say in thy heart, My power and the might of my hand has procured me this wealth.
Boye sala keba ete omilobela te: « Nguya na ngai moko mpe makasi ya maboko na ngai moko nde eboteli ngai bomengo oyo! »
18 But thou shalt remember Jehovah thy God, that it is he who giveth thee power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he swore unto thy fathers, as it is this day.
Mpo na yango, kobosanaka te ete ezali Yawe, Nzambe na yo, nde apesaki yo makoki ya kozwa bomengo oyo mpo na kolendisa boyokani na Ye, oyo asalaki elongo na bakoko na bino na nzela ya ndayi, ndenge ezali na mokolo ya lelo.
19 And it shall be, if thou do at all forget Jehovah thy God, and go after other gods, and serve them, and bow down to them, I testify against you this day that ye shall utterly perish.
Soki obosani Yawe, Nzambe na yo, soki osaleli banzambe mosusu, soki ogumbameli mpe ofukameli yango, nalobi na bino solo lelo ete bokobebisama.
20 As the nations which Jehovah is causing to perish before you, so shall ye perish; because ye would not hearken unto the voice of Jehovah your God.
Bokobebisama solo lokola bikolo oyo Yawe abebisaki liboso na bino, mpo ete botosi te Yawe, Nzambe na bino.
