Deuteronomy 12
1 These are the precepts and judgments, that you must do in the land, which the Lord the God of thy fathers will give thee, to possess it all the days that thou shalt walk 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 Destroy all the places in which the nations, that you shall possess, worshipped their gods upon high mountains, and hills, and under every shady 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 Overthrow their altars, and break down their statues, burn their groves with fire, and break their idols in pieces: destroy their names out of those places.
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 You shall not do so to the Lord your God:
Nzokande mpo na bino, bosengeli te kogumbamela Yawe, Nzambe na bino, na lolenge na bango.
5 But you shall come to the place, which the Lord your God shall choose out of all your tribes, to put his name there, and to dwell in it:
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 you shall offer in that place your holocausts and victims, the tithes and firstfruits of your hands and your vows and gifts, the firstborn of your herds and 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 you shall eat there in the sight of the Lord your God: and you shall rejoice in all things, whereunto you shall put your hand, you and your houses wherein the Lord your God hath blessed you.
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 You shall not do there the things we do here this day, every man that which seemeth good to himself.
Bosengeli lisusu te kosala ndenge tozali kosala awa, na mokolo ya lelo: moto nyonso azali kosala ndenge alingi.
9 For until this present time you are not come to refit, and to the possession, which the Lord your God will give you.
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 You shall pass over the Jordan, and shall dwell in the land which the Lord your God will give you, that you may have rest from all enemies round about: and may dwell without any fear,
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 In the place, which the Lord your God shall choose, that his name may be therein. Thither shall you bring all the things that I command you, holocausts, and victims, and tithes, and the firstfruits of your hands: and whatsoever is the choicest in the gifts which you shall vow to the Lord.
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 There shall you feast before the Lord your God, you and your sons and your daughters, your menservants and maid-servants, and the Levite that dwelleth in your cities. For he hath no other part and possession among 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 Beware lest thou offer thy holocausts in every place that thou shalt see:
Bosala keba ete bobonza te bambeka na bino ya kotumba na bisika nyonso oyo bokomona.
14 But in the place which the Lord shall choose in one of thy tribes shalt thou offer sacrifices. and 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 But if thou desirest to eat, and the eating of flesh delight thee, kill, and eat according to the blessing of the Lord thy God, which he hath given thee, in thy cities: whether it be unclean, that is to say, having blemish or defect: or clean, that is to say, sound and without blemish, such as may be offered, as the roe, and the hart, shalt thou eat it:
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 the blood thou shalt not eat, but thou shalt pour it out upon the earth as water.
Kasi bosengeli te kolia makila; bosopa yango lokola mayi na mabele.
17 Thou mayst not eat in thy towns the tithes of thy corn, and thy wine, and thy oil, the firstborn of thy herds and thy cattle, nor any thing that thou vowest, and that thou wilt offer voluntarily, and the firstfruits of thy hands:
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 thou shalt eat them before the Lord thy God in the place which the Lord thy God shall choose, thou and thy son and thy daughter, and thy manservant, and maidservant, and the Levite that dwelleth in thy cities: and thou shalt rejoice and be refreshed before the Lord thy God in all things, whereunto thou shalt put 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 thou forsake not the Levite all the time that thou livest in the land.
Tango nyonso bokovanda kati na mokili na bino, bosala keba ete bobosana Balevi te.
20 When the Lord thy God shall have enlarged thy borders, as he hath spoken to thee, and thou wilt eat the flesh that thy soul desireth:
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 And if the place which the Lord thy God shall choose, that his name should be there, be far off, thou shalt kill of thy herds and of thy flocks, as I have commanded thee, and shalt eat in thy towns, as it pleaseth thee.
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 roe and the hart is eaten, so shalt thou eat them: both the clean and unclean shall eat of them alike.
Bokolia yango ndenge baliaka pambi to mboloko; moto nyonso, azala mbindo to peto, akoki na ye kolia yango.
23 Only beware of this, that thou eat not the blood, for the blood is for the soul: and therefore thou must not eat the soul with the flesh:
Kasi bosala keba ete bolia makila te, pamba te makila ezali bomoi, mpe bosengeli te kolia bomoi elongo na nyama.
24 But thou shalt pour it upon the earth as water,
Bosengeli te kolia makila; kasi bosopa yango na mabele ndenge basopaka mayi.
25 That it may be well with thee and thy children after thee, when thou shalt do that which is pleasing in the sight of the Lord.
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 the things which thou hast sanctified and vowed to the Lord, thou shalt take, and shalt come to the place which the Lord shall 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 shalt offer thy oblations the flesh and the blood upon the altar of the Lord thy God: the blood of thy victims thou shalt pour on the altar: and the flesh thou thyself shalt 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 Observe and hear all the things that I command thee, that it may be well with thee and thy children after thee for ever, when thou shalt do what is good and pleasing in the sight of the Lord 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 the Lord thy God shall have destroyed before thy face the nations, which then shalt go in to possess, and when thou shalt possess them, and dwell 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 Beware lest thou imitate them, after they are destroyed at thy coming in, and lest thou seek after their ceremonies, saying: As these nations have worshipped their gods, so will I also worship.
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 in like manner to the Lord thy God. For they have done to their gods all the abominations which the Lord abhorreth, offering their sons and daughters, and burning them with fire.
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 What I command thee, that only do thou to the Lord: neither add any thing, nor diminish.
Tala, bosala nyonso oyo natindi bino, bobakisa to bolongola ata eloko moko te.
