Deuteronomy 32
1 Give ear, ye heavens, and I will speak; and let the earth hear the words of my mouth.
Oh likolo, yoka malamu, pamba te nalingi koloba! Oh mabele, yoka malamu maloba ya monoko na ngai!
2 My doctrine shall drop as the rain, my speech shall distil as the dew; as the small rain upon the tender grass, and as the showers upon the herb.
Tika ete mateya na ngai ekweya lokola mvula, mpe maloba na ngai ekita lokola londende, lokola mvula moke na likolo ya matiti, lokola mvula makasi na likolo ya milona!
3 For I will proclaim the name of the LORD; ascribe ye greatness unto our God.
Nakosakola Kombo ya Yawe. Bokumisa monene ya Nzambe na biso!
4 The Rock, His work is perfect; for all His ways are justice; a God of faithfulness and without iniquity, just and right is He.
Yawe azali lokola Libanga; misala na Ye ezali ya kokoka, mpe banzela na Ye nyonso ezali sembo; azali Nzambe ya boyengebene, asalaka mabe te; azali sembo mpe alima.
5 Is corruption His? No; His children's is the blemish; a generation crooked and perverse.
Kasi bino, bomibebisaki liboso na Ye; bozali lisusu bana na Ye te, mpo na mabe na bino, bino molongo ya bana mabe mpe ya bapengwi.
6 Do ye thus requite the LORD, O foolish people and unwise? is not He thy father that hath gotten thee? hath He not made thee, and established thee?
Boni, ezali ndenge wana nde bofuti Yawe? Oh bato ya maboma, bato bazanga bwanya! Boni, Yawe azali Tata na bino te? Azali Mokeli na bino te? Ye nde asalaki bino mpe abongisaki bino.
7 Remember the days of old, consider the years of many generations; ask thy father, and he will declare unto thee, thine elders, and they will tell thee.
Bokanisa mikolo ya kala, mpe botala milongo oyo eleka kala! Botuna na batata na bino, mpe bakoyebisa bino. Botuna na bampaka na bino, mpe bakolimbolela bino.
8 When the Most High gave to the nations their inheritance, when He separated the children of men, He set the borders of the peoples according to the number of the children of Israel.
Tango Ye-Oyo-Aleki-Likolo apesaki na ekolo moko na moko mabele na yango, tango akabolaki bato nyonso, atiaki bandelo mpo na bato kolanda motango ya ba-anjelu ya Nzambe.
9 For the portion of the LORD is His people, Jacob the lot of His inheritance.
Pamba te eteni ya Yawe ezali bato na Ye; Jakobi azali libula na Ye.
10 He found him in a desert land, and in the waste, a howling wilderness; He compassed him about, He cared for him, He kept him as the apple of His eye.
Amonaki ye na esobe, kati na mokili oyo ekawuka, etonda na koganga ya somo. Azingelaki ye, abatelaki ye, akengelaki ye lokola mbuma ya liso na Ye.
11 As an eagle that stirreth up her nest, hovereth over her young, spreadeth abroad her wings, taketh them, beareth them on her pinions —
Azali lokola mpongo oyo ezali kolakisa bana na yango kopumbwa. Epumbwaka pembeni-pembeni ya bana na yango, etandaka mapapu na yango mpo na kokanga bana na yango, mpe ememaka yango likolo ya masala na yango.
12 The LORD alone did lead him, and there was no strange god with Him.
Ye moko Yawe akambaki bango; nzambe moko te ya bapaya azalaki elongo na Ye.
13 He made him ride on the high places of the earth, and he did eat the fruitage of the field; and He made him to suck honey out of the crag, and oil out of the flinty rock;
Akambaki bango na bisika oyo eleki likolo kati na mokili, aleisaki bango bambuma ya elanga, amelisaki bango mafuta ya nzoyi oyo ezalaki kobima na libanga, mafuta oyo ezalaki kobima na mabele ya mabanga,
14 Curd of kine, and milk of sheep, with fat of lambs, and rams of the breed of Bashan, and he-goats, with the kidney-fat of wheat; and of the blood of the grape thou drankest foaming wine.
miliki ya bangombe mpe ya bameme; apesaki bango mafuta ya bameme mpe ya bantaba, ya bana meme mpe ya ntaba ya mafuta; mpe apesaki bameme ya mibali ya kitoko ya Bashani. Baliaki lisusu ble oyo eleki kitoko, bamelaki vino ya motane oyo ewutaki na bambuma ya vino.
15 But Jeshurun waxed fat, and kicked — thou didst wax fat, thou didst grow thick, thou didst become gross — and he forsook God who made him, and contemned the Rock of his salvation.
Yeshuruni akomaki monene mpe moto makasi; atondaki na biloko ya kolia, akomaki kilo mpe moselu; asundolaki Nzambe oyo akelaki ye mpe abwakaki Libanga na ye, Mobikisi na ye.
16 They roused Him to jealousy with strange gods, with abominations did they provoke Him.
Bapesaki Yawe kanda makasi likolo ya banzambe na bango ya bapaya, mpe bapesaki Ye kanda na nzela ya misala na bango ya mbindo.
17 They sacrificed unto demons, no-gods, gods that they knew not, new gods that came up of late, which your fathers dreaded not.
Babonzaki bambeka epai ya milimo mabe oyo ezali Nzambe te; babonzaki yango epai ya banzambe oyo bango bayebaki te, banzambe oyo ebimaki sika, banzambe oyo bakoko na bino basambelaki te.
18 Of the Rock that begot thee thou wast unmindful, and didst forget God that bore thee.
Bobosanaki Libanga oyo ebotaki bino mpe bomonaki pamba Nzambe oyo apesaki bino bomoi.
19 And the LORD saw, and spurned, because of the provoking of His sons and His daughters.
Yawe amonaki likambo oyo mpe abwakaki bango, pamba te bana na bango ya mibali mpe ya basi bapesaki Ye kanda.
20 And He said: 'I will hide My face from them, I will see what their end shall be; for they are a very froward generation, children in whom is no faithfulness.
Alobaki: « Nakobombela bango elongi na Ngai, mpe nakotala ndenge nini suka na bango ekozala, pamba te bazali molongo ya bato mabe, bana bazanga boyengebene.
21 They have roused Me to jealousy with a no-god; they have provoked Me with their vanities; and I will rouse them to jealousy with a no-people; I will provoke them with a vile nation.
Bazwelaki Ngai mbanda oyo azali ata nzambe te, batumbolaki kanda na Ngai likolo ya biloko oyo ekoki kutu kozala ata banzambe ya bikeko te. Boye, Ngai mpe nakosala ete bango mpe bayokela oyo ezali ata ekolo te zuwa; nakosala ete ekolo moko ya bazoba epesa bango kanda.
22 For a fire is kindled in My nostril, and burneth unto the depths of the nether-world, and devoureth the earth with her produce, and setteth ablaze the foundations of the mountains. (Sheol h7585)
Pamba te kanda na Ngai epeli makasi lokola moto, mpe ekozikisa kino se ya mokili ya bakufi, ekotumba mabele, bambuma na yango mpe miboko ya bangomba. (Sheol h7585)
23 I will heap evils upon them; I will spend Mine arrows upon them;
Nakobakisela bango pasi likolo ya pasi, nakobwakela bango makonga na Ngai.
24 The wasting of hunger, and the devouring of the fiery bolt, and bitter destruction; and the teeth of beasts will I send upon them, with the venom of crawling things of the dust.
Nakotindela bango nzala makasi, bokono oyo esalaka nzoto moto-moto mpo ete esilisa bango, mpe etumbu oyo ekoboma bango. Nakotindela bango minu ya banyama ya zamba, ngenge ya nyoka oyo etambolaka na libumu.
25 Without shall the sword bereave, and in the chambers terror; slaying both young man and virgin, the suckling with the man of gray hairs.
Na libanda, mopanga ekokomisa bango bato bazanga bana; kati na bandako na bango, somo ekokonza; bilenge mibali mpe bilenge basi, bana mike mpe bampaka, bango nyonso bakokufa.
26 I thought I would make an end of them, I would make their memory cease from among men;
Nalobaki: Nakopanza bango mpe nakosala ete bato babosana bango.
27 Were it not that I dreaded the enemy's provocation, lest their adversaries should misdeem, lest they should say: Our hand is exalted, and not the LORD hath wrought all this.'
Kasi nazali kobanga ete banguna bafinga Ngai mpe bayini na bango bamikosa te na koloba: ‹ Tolongaki na makasi na biso moko, Yawe asalaki eloko moko te. › »
28 For they are a nation void of counsel, and there is no understanding in them.
Bato oyo bazali ekolo ezanga mayele, bazali na bososoli te kati na bango.
29 If they were wise, they would understand this, they would discern their latter end.
Soki kaka bazalaki bato ya bwanya, balingaki kososola likambo oyo mpe koyeba ndenge nini suka na bango ekozala!
30 How should one chase a thousand, and two put ten thousand to flight, except their Rock had given them over and the LORD had delivered them up?
Ndenge nini moto moko akoki kobengana bato nkoto moko, to bato mibale, kobundisa bato nkoto zomi soki Libanga na bango atekaki bango te to soki Yawe asundolaki bango te?
31 For their rock is not as our Rock, even our enemies themselves being judges.
Pamba te Libanga na bango azali lokola libanga na biso te; bango moko banguna na biso bayebi yango.
32 For their vine is of the vine of Sodom, and of the fields of Gomorrah; their grapes are grapes of gall, their clusters are bitter;
Bilanga na bango ya vino ewuti na bilanga ya vino ya Sodome mpe na bilanga ya Gomore. Bambuma na bango etondi na ngenge, mpe maboke ya bambuma na bango ezali bololo.
33 Their wine is the venom of serpents, and the cruel poison of asps.
Vino na bango ezali ngenge ya banyoka, ngenge ya etupa, ngenge oyo ebomaka.
34 'Is not this laid up in store with Me, sealed up in My treasuries?
« Boni, ebombami epai na Ngai te? Ekangami te lokola elembo na bomengo na Ngai?
35 Vengeance is Mine, and recompense, against the time when their foot shall slip; for the day of their calamity is at hand, and the things that are to come upon them shall make haste.
Ngai nde nazongisaka mabe na mabe, Ngai nde nakofuta moto na moto. Tango lokolo na bango ekobeta libaku, na tango wana nde pasi na bango ekoya na lombangu, mpe nyonso oyo Nzambe abongisa wuta kala mpo na bango ekowumela te. »
36 For the LORD will judge His people, and repent Himself for His servants; when He seeth that their stay is gone, and there is none remaining, shut up or left at large.
Yawe akosambisa bato na Ye, mpe akoyokela basali na Ye mawa; tango akomona ete makasi na bango esili, mpe akomona ete ezali lisusu na moto moko te oyo bakoki kokanga to kokangola.
37 And it is said: Where are their gods, the rock in whom they trusted;
Bongo akoloba: « Wapi banzambe na bango? Wapi libanga epai wapi babombamaki?
38 Who did eat the fat of their sacrifices, and drank the wine of their drink-offering? let him rise up and help you, let him be your protection.
Wapi banzambe oyo ezalaki kolia mafuta ya bambeka na bango mpe komela makabo na bango ya vino? Tika ete etelema mpo na kosalisa bino mpe kopesa bino ebombamelo!
39 See now that I, even I, am He, and there is no god with Me; I kill, and I make alive; I have wounded, and I heal; and there is none that can deliver out of My hand.
Botala sik’oyo, Ngai kaka nde nazali Nzambe; mosusu azali te! Nabomaka mpe napesaka bomoi; nazokisaka mpe nabikisaka. Mpe moto moko te akoki kokangola oyo ezali na maboko na Ngai.
40 For I lift up My hand to heaven, and say: As I live for ever,
Natomboli loboko na Ngai na likolo, mpe nalobi: Na Kombo na Ngai,
41 If I whet My glittering sword, and My hand take hold on judgment; I will render vengeance to Mine adversaries, and will recompense them that hate Me.
tango nakopelisa minu ya mopanga na Ngai, mpe loboko na Ngai ekosimba yango mpo na kosambisa, nakozongisa mabe na mabe epai ya bayini na Ngai, mpe nakofuta ba-oyo balingaka Ngai te.
42 I will make Mine arrows drunk with blood, and My sword shall devour flesh; with the blood of the slain and the captives, from the long-haired heads of the enemy.'
Tango mopanga na Ngai ekozala kosasa misuni ya bato, nakolangwisa makonga na Ngai na makila ya bato oyo babomi, ya bakangami mpe ya mito ya bakonzi ya banguna. »
43 Sing aloud, O ye nations, of His people; for He doth avenge the blood of His servants, and doth render vengeance to His adversaries, and doth make expiation for the land of His people.
Oh bikolo, bosepela elongo na bato na Ye! Bino ba-anjelu nyonso, bogumbamela Nzambe; pamba te akozongisa mabe na mabe mpo na makila ya basali na Ye, akozongisa mabe na mabe epai ya banguna na Ye mpe akosala mosala ya bolimbisi masumu mpo na mokili na Ye mpe bato na Ye.
44 And Moses came and spoke all the words of this song in the ears of the people, he, and Hoshea the son of Nun.
Moyize ayaki mpe alobaki maloba nyonso ya nzembo oyo, mpe bato nyonso bazalaki koyoka ye; azalaki elongo na Oze, mwana mobali ya Nuni.
45 And when Moses made an end of speaking all these words to all Israel,
Tango Moyize asilisaki koloba maloba oyo nyonso epai ya bana nyonso ya Isalaele,
46 he said unto them: 'Set your heart unto all the words wherewith I testify against you this day; that ye may charge your children therewith to observe to do all the words of this law.
alobaki na bango lisusu: « Bobatela malamu kati na mitema na bino maloba nyonso oyo nalobi na bino lelo, mpo ete bopesa mitindo epai ya bana na bino ete batosa penza maloba nyonso ya mibeko oyo.
47 For it is no vain thing for you; because it is your life, and through this thing ye shall prolong your days upon the land, whither ye go over the Jordan to possess it.'
Ezali maloba ya pamba te epai na bino, kasi ezali nde bomoi na bino. Ezali na nzela na yango nde bokozala na bomoi molayi kati na mokili oyo bokozwa sima na kokatisa Yordani. »
48 And the LORD spoke unto Moses that selfsame day, saying:
Na mokolo wana kaka, Yawe alobaki na Moyize:
49 'Get thee up into this mountain of Abarim, unto mount Nebo, which is in the land of Moab, that is over against Jericho; and behold the land of Canaan, which I give unto the children of Israel for a possession;
« Mata na ngomba Abarimi, ngomba Nebo oyo ezali kati na Moabi mpe etalana na Jeriko; mpe tala mokili ya Kanana, mokili oyo nazali kopesa epai ya bana ya Isalaele lokola libula na bango.
50 and die in the mount whither thou goest up, and be gathered unto thy people; as Aaron thy brother died in mount Hor, and was gathered unto his people.
Okokufa na ngomba oyo okomata; mpe kuna, okokende kokutana na bakoko na yo, oyo bakufa ndenge Aron, ndeko na yo ya mobali, akufaki na ngomba Ori mpe akutanaki na bakoko na ye,
51 Because ye trespassed against Me in the midst of the children of Israel at the waters of Meribath-kadesh, in the wilderness of Zin; because ye sanctified Me not in the midst of the children of Israel.
pamba te bino mibale botambolaki te na boyengebene liboso na Ngai, na miso ya bana ya Isalaele, na mayi ya Meriba, pembeni ya Kadeshi, kati na esobe ya Tsini, mpe bobatelaki te bosantu na Ngai kati na bana ya Isalaele.
52 For thou shalt see the land afar off; but thou shalt not go thither into the land which I give the children of Israel.'
Yango wana okomona mokili yango kaka na mosika, okokota te na mokili oyo nalingi kopesa na bana ya Isalaele. »
