Deuteronomy 4
1 Nowe therefore hearken, O Israel, vnto the ordinances and to the lawes which I teache you to doe, that ye may liue and goe in, and possesse the lande, which the Lord God of your fathers giueth you.
Sik’oyo Isalaele, yoka malamu mitindo mpe mibeko oyo nalingi koteya yo. Salela yango mpo ete ozala na bomoi mpe okamata mokili oyo Yawe, Nzambe ya bakoko na yo, apesi yo.
2 Ye shall put nothing vnto the word which I command you, neither shall ye take ought there from, that ye may keepe the commandements of the Lord your God which I commande you.
Kobakisa eloko moko te na oyo natindi yo mpe kolongola eloko moko te kati na yango, kasi tosa mitindo oyo Yawe, Nzambe na yo, apesi yo.
3 Your eyes haue seene what the Lord did because of Baal-Peor, for al the men that folowed Baal-Peor the Lord thy God hath destroyed euery one from among you.
Bomonaki bino moko makambo oyo Yawe, Nzambe na bino, asalaki na Bala ya Peori: abomaki kati na bino bato nyonso oyo bamipesaki na kosalela Bala ya Peori.
4 But ye that did cleaue vnto the Lord your God, are aliue euery one of you this day.
Kasi bino oyo bokangamaki na Yawe, Nzambe na bino, bino nyonso bozali na bomoi na mokolo ya lelo.
5 Behold, I haue taught you ordinances, and lawes, as the Lord my God commanded me, that ye should doe euen so within the land whither ye goe to possesse it.
Tala, nateyaki bino mitindo mpe mibeko ndenge Yawe, Nzambe na ngai, atindaki ngai, mpo ete bokoka kotosa yango na mokili oyo bokokota mpo na kozwa yango.
6 Keepe them therefore, and doe them; for that is your wisdome, and your vnderstanding in the sight of the people, which shall heare all these ordinances, and shall say, Onely this people is wise, and of vnderstanding, and a great nation.
Botosa yango mpe bosalela yango na bokebi; yango nde ekokomisa bino bato ya bwanya mpe ya mayele na miso ya bikolo oyo bakoyoka sango ya mitindo mpe mibeko yango; mpe bakoganga: « Solo, libota monene oyo ezali na bato ya bwanya mpe na bato ya mayele. »
7 For what nation is so great, vnto whome the gods come so neere vnto them, as the Lord our God is neere vnto vs, in all that we call vnto him for?
Pamba te ekolo nini lisusu ya monene, oyo banzambe na yango ezali pembeni na yango ndenge Yawe, Nzambe na biso, azalaka pembeni na biso tango nyonso oyo tobelelaka Ye?
8 And what nation is so great, that hath ordinances and lawes so righteous, as all this Lawe, which I set before you this day?
Mpe ekolo nini mosusu ya monene, oyo ekoki kozala na mitindo mpe mibeko ya sembo lokola Mobeko oyo natie lelo liboso na bino?
9 But take heede to thy selfe, and keepe thy soule diligently, that thou forget not the thinges which thine eyes haue seene, and that they depart not out of thine heart, all the dayes of thy life: but teach them thy sonnes, and thy sonnes sonnes:
Nzokande, sala keba mpe omisenzela mpo ete obosana te makambo oyo miso na yo emonaki to kotika te makambo yango elongwa na motema na yo na mikolo nyonso ya bomoi na yo. Teya yango na bana na yo mpe na bana na bango oyo bakobotama na sima na bango.
10 Forget not the day that thou stoodest before the Lord thy God in Horeb, when the Lord said vnto me, Gather me the people together, and I wil cause them heare my wordes, that they may learne to feare me all the dayes that they shall liue vpon the earth, and that they may teache their children:
Kanisa mokolo oyo otelemaki liboso ya Yawe, Nzambe na yo, na Orebi tango Yawe alobaki na ngai: « Sangisa bato oyo liboso na Ngai mpo na koyoka maloba na Ngai, mpo ete bakoka koyeba kopesa Ngai lokumu tango nyonso bakozala na mokili oyo mpe bakoka koteya yango na bana na bango. »
11 Then came you neere and stoode vnder the mountaine, and the mountaine burnt with fire vnto the mids of heauen, and there was darkenesse, cloudes and mist.
Yango wana, bino bopusanaki mpe botelemaki na ebandeli ya ngomba tango ezalaki kopela moto oyo ekomaki kino na likolo elongo na mapata ya mwindo mpe molili makasi.
12 And the Lord spake vnto you out of the middes of the fire, and ye heard the voyce of the wordes, but sawe no similitude, saue a voyce.
Yawe alobelaki bino wuta na moto; boyokaki lokito ya maloba na ye kasi bomonaki ata nzoto te; mongongo kaka nde ezalaki koyokana.
13 Then hee declared vnto you his couenant which he commanded you to doe, euen the ten commandements, and wrote them vpon two tables of stone.
Atalisaki bino boyokani na Ye, mibeko zomi oyo bosengeli kosalela, mpe akomaki yango na bitando mibale ya mabanga.
14 And the Lord commanded me that same time, that I should teach you ordinances and lawes, which ye should obserue in the lande, whither ye goe, to possesse it.
Na tango wana kaka, Yawe atindaki ngai koteya bino bikateli mpe mibeko oyo bosengeli kosalela na mokili oyo bokokende mpo na kozwa yango.
15 Take therefore good heede vnto your selues: for ye sawe no image in the day that the Lord spake vnto you in Horeb out of the middes of the fire:
Bongo, bomisenzela malamu, pamba te bomonaki nzoto te na mokolo oyo Yawe alobelaki bino na ngomba Orebi wuta na moto.
16 That ye corrupt not your selues, and make you a grauen image or representation of any figure: whither it be the likenes of male or female,
Bomibebisa te na kosala ekeko, elilingi ya mwasi to ya mobali,
17 The likenes of any beast that is on earth, or the likenesse of any fethered foule that flieth in the aire:
ya nyama nyonso ya mokili to ya ndeke nyonso oyo epumbwaka na likolo,
18 Or the likenesse of any thing that creepeth on the earth, or the likenesse of any fish that is in the waters beneath the earth,
ya ekelamu nyonso oyo etambolaka na libumu to ya mbisi nyonso oyo etiolaka na se ya mayi.
19 And lest thou lift vp thine eyes vnto heauen, and when thou seest the sunne and the moone and the starres with all the host of heauen, shouldest bee driuen to worship them and serue them, which the Lord thy God hath distributed to all people vnder the whole heauen.
Mpe tango botalaka na mapata mpe bomonaka moyi, sanza, minzoto mpe biloko mosusu oyo ezali na likolo, bokosama te mpo na kofukamela mpe kogumbamela biloko oyo Yawe, Nzambe na bino, apesa na bikolo nyonso oyo ezali na mokili.
20 But the Lord hath taken you and brought you out of the yron fornace: out of Egypt to be vnto him a people and inheritance, as appeareth this day.
Kasi mpo na bino, Yawe azwaki bino mpe abimisaki bino na fulu ya moto ya bibende, oyo ezalaki Ejipito, mpo ete bozala bato ya libula na Ye ndenge bozali sik’oyo.
21 And the Lord was angrie with me for your words, and sware that I should not goe ouer Iorden, and that I should not goe in vnto that good land, which the Lord thy God giueth thee for an inheritance.
Yawe asilikelaki ngai likolo na bino mpe alapaki ndayi na makasi nyonso ete nakoki te kokatisa Yordani mpe kokota na mokili kitoko oyo Yawe, Nzambe na bino, akopesa bino lokola libula.
22 For I must die in this land, and shall not go ouer Iorden: but ye shall goe ouer, and possesse that good land.
Nakokufa na mokili oyo mpe nakokatisa Yordani te; kasi bino, etikali moke bokatisa mpe bokamata mokili oyo ya kitoko.
23 Take heede vnto your selues, least ye forget the couenant of the Lord your God which hee made with you, and least ye make you any grauen image, or likenes of any thing, as the Lord thy God hath charged thee.
Bozala na bokebi mpe bobosana te boyokani oyo Yawe, Nzambe na bino, asalaki elongo na bino. Mpe bomisalela ekeko te na lolenge nyonso oyo Yawe, Nzambe na bino, apekisaki.
24 For the Lord thy God is a consuming fire, and a ielous God.
Pamba te Yawe, Nzambe na bino, azali moto oyo ezikisaka, azali Nzambe na zuwa.
25 When thou shalt beget children and childrens children, and shalt haue remained long in the land, if ye corrupt your selues, and make any grauen image, or likenes of any thing, and worke euill in the sight of the Lord thy God, to prouoke him to anger,
Tango bokozala na bana mpe bakoko, mpe bokowumela tango molayi na mokili, soki bokosami mpe bosali ekeko ya lolenge nyonso, soki bosali mabe na miso ya Yawe, Nzambe na bino, soki botumboli kanda na Ye,
26 I call heauen and earth to record against you this day, that ye shall shortly perish from the land, whereunto ye goe ouer Iorden to possesse it: ye shall not prolong your dayes therein, but shall vtterly be destroyed.
soki bosali makambo wana, likolo mpe se ekozala motatoli kati na ngai mpe bino: bokolimwa noki na mokili oyo bokokende kozwa sima na bino kokatisa Yordani. Bokowumela kuna tango molayi te, kasi bokobebisama solo;
27 And the Lord shall scatter you among the people, and ye shall be left few in nomber among the nations, whither the Lord shall bring you:
Yawe akopanza bino kati na bato. Kasi ndambo kaka ya bato kati na bino nde bakowumela kati na bikolo epai wapi Yawe akomema bino.
28 And there ye shall serue gods, euen ye worke of mans hand, wood, and stone, which neither see, nor heare, nor eate, nor smelll.
Kuna, bokogumbamela banzambe oyo esalemi na maboko ya bato, banzambe ya banzete to ya mabanga, oyo ekoki komona te, koyoka te, kolia te mpe koyoka solo te.
29 But if from thence thou shalt seeke the Lord thy God, thou shalt finde him, if thou seeke him with all thine heart, and with all thy soule.
Kasi soki, wuta na mokili wana, boluki Yawe, Nzambe na bino, bokomona Ye soki boluki Ye na motema na bino mobimba mpe na molimo na bino mobimba.
30 When thou art in tribulation, and all these things are come vpon thee, at the length if thou returne to the Lord thy God, and bee obedient vnto his voyce,
Tango bokozala na mawa mpe pasi nyonso oyo ekokomela bino, sima na mikolo, bokozonga epai na Yawe, Nzambe na bino, mpe bokotosa Ye.
31 (For the Lord thy God is a mercifull God) he will not forsake thee, neither destroy thee, nor forget the couenant of thy fathers, which hee sware vnto them.
Pamba te Yawe, Nzambe na bino, azali Nzambe ya mawa, akosundola bino te, akobebisa bino te mpe akobosana te boyokani oyo asala na bakoko na bino tango alapaki ndayi.
32 For inquire now of the dayes that are past, which were before thee, since the day that God created man vpon the earth, and aske from the one ende of heauen vnto the other, if there came to passe such a great thing as this, or whether any such like thing hath bene heard.
Luka koyeba makambo oyo esalema na mikolo ya liboso, liboso ete yo obotama, wuta mokolo oyo Nzambe asala moto na mokili; luka oyeba makambo oyo esalema kati na mokili banda na suka moko kino na suka mosusu, soki likambo ya monene boye esila kosalema, soki likambo ya boye esila koyokana.
33 Did euer people heare the voyce of God speaking out of the middes of a fire, as thou hast heard, and liued?
Boni, ezali na bato bayoka mongongo ya Nzambe kolobela bango kati na moto ndenge bino boyokaki mpe botikali na bomoi?
34 Or hath God assayed to go and take him a nation from among nations, by tentations, by signes, and by wonders, and by warre, and by a mightie hand, and by a stretched out arme, and by great feare, according vnto all that the Lord your God did vnto you in Egypt before your eyes?
Boni, ezali na nzambe oyo ameka kobimisa mpo na ye ekolo moko wuta na ekolo mosusu na nzela ya komekama, ya bilembo, ya bikamwa, ya bitumba, ya maboko na ye ya nguya, mpe na kosembola loboko to na nzela ya misala minene ya somo lokola makambo nyonso oyo Yawe, Nzambe na bino, asala mpo na bino kati na Ejipito na miso na bino?
35 Vnto thee it was shewed, that thou mightest knowe, that the Lord hee is God, and that there is none but he alone.
Omonaki makambo nyonso wana mpo oyeba ete Yawe kaka nde azali Nzambe, mosusu azali te.
36 Out of heauen hee made thee heare his voyce to instruct thee, and vpon earth he shewed thee his great fire, and thou heardest his voyce out of the middes of the fire.
Wuta na likolo, ayebisaki yo na mongongo na Ye mpo na koteya yo; na se, Yawe alakisaki yo moto na ye ya monene mpe oyokaki mongongo na Ye kobima kati na moto.
37 And because hee loued thy fathers, therefore hee chose their seede after them, and hath brought thee out of Egypt in his sight by his mightie power,
Lokola alingaki bakoko na yo mpe aponaki bakitani na bango, abimisaki yo na Ejipito na nguya na Ye mpe na makasi na Ye ya monene
38 To thrust out nations greater and mightier then thou, before thee, to bring thee in, and to giue thee their land for inheritance: as appeareth this day.
mpo na kobengana liboso na yo bikolo minene mpe ya makasi koleka yo mpe kokotisa yo na bamboka na bango mpo na kopesa yo yango lokola libula ndenge yango ezali na mokolo ya lelo.
39 Vnderstande therefore this day, and consider in thine heart, that the Lord, he is God in heauen aboue, and vpon the earth beneath: there is none other.
Yeba yango lelo mpe tia yango na motema na yo ete Yawe kaka nde azali Nzambe na likolo mpe na se, mosusu azali te.
40 Thou shalt keepe therefore his ordinances, and his commandements which I commaund thee this day, that it may goe well with thee, and with thy children after thee, and that thou mayst prolong thy dayes vpon the earth, which the Lord thy God giueth thee for euer.
Batela bikateli mpe mitindo na Ye, oyo nazali kopesa yo lelo mpo ete ozala moto ya esengo, yo mpe bana na yo sima na yo, mpe mpo ete owumela tango molayi na mokili oyo Yawe, Nzambe, na yo apesi yo mpo na libela.
41 Then Moses separated three cities on this side of Iorden toward the sunne rising:
Moyize aponaki bingumba misato na ngambo ya este ya Yordani,
42 That the slayer should flee thither, which had killed his neighbour at vnwares, and hated him not in time past, might flee, I say, vnto one of those cities, and liue:
mpo ete moto nyonso oyo akoboma moninga na ye na nko te, na kozanga koyina ye liboso, akoka kokimela na moko kati na bingumba yango mpe akoka kobikisa bomoi na ye.
43 That is, Bezer in the wildernesse, in the plaine countrey of the Reubenites: and Ramoth in Gilead among the Gadites: and Golan in Bashan among them of Manasseh.
Tala bingumba yango: Mpo na libota ya Ribeni, engumba Betseri kati na etando ya esobe; mpo na libota ya Gadi, engumba Ramoti ya Galadi, mpe mpo na libota ya Manase, engumba Golani kati na Bashani.
44 So this is the law which Moses set before the children of Israel.
Tala Mobeko oyo Moyize atiaki liboso ya bana ya Isalaele:
45 These are the witnesses, and the ordinances, and the lawes which Moses declared to the children of Israel after they came out of Egypt,
Tala malako, bikateli mpe mibeko oyo Moyize apesaki na bana ya Isalaele tango babimaki na Ejipito;
46 On this side Iorden, in the valley ouer against Beth-peor, in the land of Sihon King of the Amorites, which dwelt at Heshbon, whom Moses and the children of Israel smote, after they were come out of Egypt:
mpe tango bazalaki na lubwaku etalana na Beti-Peori, na ngambo ya este ya Yordani, kati na mokili ya Sikoni, mokonzi ya bato ya Amori, oyo azalaki kovanda na Eshiboni oyo Moyize mpe bana ya Isalaele balongaki tango babimaki na Ejipito.
47 And they possessed his land, and the lande of Og King of Bashan, two Kings of the Amorites, which were on this side Iorden towarde the sunne rising:
Bazwaki mokili na ye mpe mokili ya Ogi, mokonzi ya Bashani. Bakonzi nyonso mibale bazalaki bato ya Amori mpe bakonzaki na ngambo ya este ya Yordani.
48 From Aroer, which is by the banke of the riuer Arnon, euen vnto mount Sion, which is Hermon,
Bana ya Isalaele bavandaki na etando oyo ebandaki na Aroeri, na ngomba Arinoni kino na ngomba Sirioni oyo babengi Erimoni;
49 And all the plaine by Iorden Eastwarde, euen vnto the Sea, of ye plaine, vnder the springs of Pisgah.
bakisa Araba nyonso na este ya Yordani kino na ebale monene ya Araba, na ebandeli ya ngomba Pisiga.
