Deuteronomy 32
1 Give ear, O all of you heavens, and I will speak; and hear, O earth, 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 herb, and as the showers upon the grass:
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 Because I will publish the name of the LORD: ascribe all of you greatness unto our God.
Nakosakola Kombo ya Yawe. Bokumisa monene ya Nzambe na biso!
4 He is the Rock, his work is perfect: for all his ways are judgment: a God of truth 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 They have corrupted themselves, their spot is not the spot of his children: they are a perverse and crooked generation.
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 all of you thus requite the LORD, O foolish people and unwise? is not he your father that has bought you? has he not made you, and established you?
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 your father, and he will show you; your elders, and they will tell you.
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 divided to the nations their inheritance, when he separated the sons of Adam, he set the bounds of the people 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 LORD's portion is his people; Jacob is 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 howling wilderness; he led him about, he instructed 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 stirs up her nest, flutteres over her young, spreads abroad her wings, takes them, bears them on her wings:
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 So 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, that he might eat the increase of the fields; and he made him to suck honey out of the rock, 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 Butter of cattle, and milk of sheep, with fat of lambs, and rams of the breed of Bashan, and goats, with the fat of kidneys of wheat; and you did drink the pure blood of the grape.
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: you are becoming fat, you are grown thick, you are covered with fatness; then he forsook God which made him, and lightly esteemed 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 provoked him to jealousy with strange gods, with abominations provoked they him to anger.
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 devils, not to God; to gods whom they knew not, to new gods that came newly up, whom your fathers feared 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 brings forth you you are unmindful, and have forgotten God that formed you.
Bobosanaki Libanga oyo ebotaki bino mpe bomonaki pamba Nzambe oyo apesaki bino bomoi.
19 And when the LORD saw it, he abhorred them, because of the provoking of his sons, and of 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 perverse generation, children in whom is no faith.
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 moved me to jealousy with that which is not God; they have provoked me to anger with their vanities: and I will move them to jealousy with those which are not a people; I will provoke them to anger with a foolish 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 mine anger, and shall burn unto the low hell, and shall consume the earth with her increase, and set on fire 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 evil upon them; I will spend mine arrows upon them.
Nakobakisela bango pasi likolo ya pasi, nakobwakela bango makonga na Ngai.
24 They shall be burnt with hunger, and devoured with burning heat, and with bitter destruction: I will also send the teeth of beasts upon them, with the poison of serpents 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 The sword without, and terror within, shall destroy both the young man and the virgin, the nursing infant also 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 said, I would scatter them into corners, I would make the remembrance of them to cease from among men:
Nalobaki: Nakopanza bango mpe nakosala ete bato babosana bango.
27 Were it not that I feared the wrath of the enemy, lest their adversaries should behave themselves strangely, and lest they should say, Our hand is high, and the LORD has not done 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, neither is there any understanding in them.
Bato oyo bazali ekolo ezanga mayele, bazali na bososoli te kati na bango.
29 O that they were wise, that they understood this, that they would consider 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 sold them, and the LORD had shut 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 poison of dragons, and the cruel venom 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, and sealed up among my treasures?
« Boni, ebombami epai na Ngai te? Ekangami te lokola elembo na bomengo na Ngai?
35 To me belongs vengeance and recompence; their foot shall slide in due time: for the day of their calamity is at hand, and the things that shall come upon them 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 shall judge his people, and repent himself for his servants, when he sees that their power is gone, and there is none shut up, or left.
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 he shall say, Where are their gods, their rock in whom they trusted,
Bongo akoloba: « Wapi banzambe na bango? Wapi libanga epai wapi babombamaki?
38 Which did eat the fat of their sacrifices, and drank the wine of their drink offerings? let them rise up and help you, and 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 wound, and I heal: neither is there any 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, I live for ever.
Natomboli loboko na Ngai na likolo, mpe nalobi: Na Kombo na Ngai,
41 If I sharpen my glittering sword, and mine hand take hold on judgment; I will render vengeance to mine enemies, and will reward 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; and that with the blood of the slain and of the captives, from the beginning of revenges upon 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 Rejoice, O all of you nations, with his people: for he will avenge the blood of his servants, and will render vengeance to his adversaries, and will be merciful unto his land, and to 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 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 And he said unto them, Set your hearts unto all the words which I testify among you this day, which all of you shall command your children 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 not a vain thing for you; because it is your life: and through this thing all of you shall prolong your days in the land, where all of you go over 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 very same day, saying,
Na mokolo wana kaka, Yawe alobaki na Moyize:
49 Get you up into this mountain Abarim, unto mount Nebo, which is in the land of Moab, that is opposite to 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 where you go up, and be gathered unto your people; as Aaron your 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 all of you trespassed against me among the children of Israel at the waters of MeribahKadesh, in the wilderness of Zin; because all of you 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 Yet you shall see the land before you; but you shall not go thither unto 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. »
