Deuteronomy 18
1 The priests the Levites, and all the tribe of Levi, shall have no part nor inheritance with Israel: they shall eat the offerings of the LORD made by fire, and his inheritance.
Banganga-Nzambe oyo bazali Balevi, elongo na libota mobimba ya Balevi basengeli te kozwa eteni ya mabele to libula kati na Isalaele; basengeli kobika kaka na makabo bazikisa na moto mpo na Yawe mpe na libula na Ye, pamba te yango nde ezali libula na bango.
2 Therefore shall they have no inheritance among their brothers: the LORD is their inheritance, as he has said to them.
Basengeli te kozala na libula kati na bandeko na bango; Yawe nde azali libula na bango ndenge alakaki bango.
3 And this shall be the priest’s due from the people, from them that offer a sacrifice, whether it be ox or sheep; and they shall give to the priest the shoulder, and the two cheeks, and the maw.
Tala eteni oyo Banganga-Nzambe basengeli kozwa epai na bato oyo bakobonza ngombe to meme lokola mbeka: lipeka, mbanga mpe biloko ya kati. Okopesa yango epai ya Nganga-Nzambe oyo azali kosala mosala.
4 The first fruit also of your corn, of your wine, and of your oil, and the first of the fleece of your sheep, shall you give him.
Okopesa ye bambuma na yo ya liboso ya ble, ya vino ya sika, ya mafuta mpe bapwale nyonso ya liboso oyo okolongola na bameme na yo;
5 For the LORD your God has chosen him out of all your tribes, to stand to minister in the name of the LORD, him and his sons for ever.
pamba te Yawe, Nzambe na yo, aponi ye elongo na bakitani na ye kati na bikolo na yo nyonso mpo na kotelema mpe kosala tango nyonso mosala na Kombo na Yawe kati na Tempelo.
6 And if a Levite come from any of your gates out of all Israel, where he sojourned, and come with all the desire of his mind to the place which the LORD shall choose;
Soki moko kati na Balevi alongwe na engumba moko kati na bingumba ya Isalaele epai wapi azalaki kovanda, mpe ayei ndenge motema na ye elingi, na esika oyo Yawe Nzambe akopona;
7 Then he shall minister in the name of the LORD his God, as all his brothers the Levites do, which stand there before the LORD.
asengeli kosala na Kombo na Yawe, Nzambe na ye, ndenge bandeko na ye nyonso Balevi bazali kosala kuna na miso ya Yawe.
8 They shall have like portions to eat, beside that which comes of the sale of his patrimony.
Akozwa eteni ya ndenge moko na bango na oyo etali biloko ya kolia, bakisa mbongo oyo akozwa tango bakoteka biloko ya libota.
9 When you are come into the land which the LORD your God gives you, you shall not learn to do after the abominations of those nations.
Tango okokota na mokili oyo Yawe, Nzambe na yo, akopesa yo, okomekola te misala ya mbindo ya bikolo oyo ezali kuna.
10 There shall not be found among you any one that makes his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that uses divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch.
Moto moko te kati na yo akobonza na moto mwana na ye ya mobali to ya mwasi epai ya moto oyo asalelaka soloka, kindoki, oyo atalaka minzoto mpo na kosakola makambo, oyo asalelaka maji
11 Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer.
to moto oyo asalelaka makambo ya nkuku to moto oyo atunaka milimo to nganga-kisi to moto oyo asololaka na bakufi.
12 For all that do these things are an abomination to the LORD: and because of these abominations the LORD your God does drive them out from before you.
Moto nyonso oyo asalaka makambo oyo, azali mbindo na miso ya Yawe; mpe ezali mpo na makambo nyonso oyo ya nkele nde Yawe, Nzambe na bino, akobengana bikolo wana liboso na bino.
13 You shall be perfect with the LORD your God.
Bosengeli kozala bato bazangi pamela liboso ya Yawe, Nzambe na bino.
14 For these nations, which you shall possess, listened to observers of times, and to diviners: but as for you, the LORD your God has not suffered you so to do.
Bikolo oyo bokobotola ezali bikolo oyo elandaka bato wana, esalelaka kindoki mpe soloka. Kasi mpo na bino, Yawe, Nzambe na bino, akoki te kopesa bino nzela ya kosala bongo.
15 The LORD your God will raise up to you a Prophet from the middle of you, of your brothers, like to me; to him you shall listen;
Yawe, Nzambe na bino, akobimisela bino mosakoli moko lokola ngai, oyo akowuta kati na bandeko na bino; bosengeli koyoka ye.
16 According to all that you desired of the LORD your God in Horeb in the day of the assembly, saying, Let me not hear again the voice of the LORD my God, neither let me see this great fire any more, that I die not.
Yango nde likambo oyo bosengaki epai na Yawe, Nzambe na bino, na ngomba Orebi, na mokolo ya mayangani, tango bolobaki: « Toboyi koyoka lisusu mongongo ya Yawe, Nzambe na biso, to komona lisusu moto makasi oyo, noki te tokokufa. »
17 And the LORD said to me, They have well spoken that which they have spoken.
Yawe alobaki na ngai: « Makambo oyo balobi ezali malamu.
18 I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brothers, like to you, and will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak to them all that I shall command him.
Nakobimisa kati na bandeko na bango mosakoli moko lokola yo; nakotia maloba na Ngai kati na monoko na ye, mpe akoyebisa bango nyonso oyo Ngai nakotinda ye.
19 And it shall come to pass, that whoever will not listen to my words which he shall speak in my name, I will require it of him.
Soki moto aboyi koyoka maloba na Ngai, oyo mosakoli yango akoloba na Kombo na Ngai, Ngai moko nakopesa ye etumbu.
20 But the prophet, which shall presume to speak a word in my name, which I have not commanded him to speak, or that shall speak in the name of other gods, even that prophet shall die.
Kasi soki mosakoli moko alobi ete azali koloba na Kombo na Ngai, bongo alobi likambo moko oyo Ngai natindi ye te to azali koloba na kombo ya banzambe mosusu, basengeli koboma ye.
21 And if you say in your heart, How shall we know the word which the LORD has not spoken?
Tango mosusu bokoki komituna: ‹ Ndenge nini tokoki koyeba ete maloba oyo azali koloba ewuti solo epai na Yawe te? ›
22 When a prophet speaks in the name of the LORD, if the thing follow not, nor come to pass, that is the thing which the LORD has not spoken, but the prophet has spoken it presumptuously: you shall not be afraid of him.
Soki makambo oyo mosakoli alobi na Kombo na Yawe ekokisami te to esalemi te, wana maloba yango ewutaki na Yawe te. Mosakoli wana alobaki kaka na ndenge na ye moko, bobanga ye te. »
