Deuteronomy 18
1 “There is not for the priests, the Levites—all the tribe of Levi—a portion and inheritance with Israel; they eat fire-offerings of YHWH, even 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 and he has no inheritance in the midst of his brothers; YHWH Himself [is] his inheritance, as He has spoken to him.
Basengeli te kozala na libula kati na bandeko na bango; Yawe nde azali libula na bango ndenge alakaki bango.
3 And this is the priest’s right from the people, from those sacrificing a sacrifice, whether ox or sheep, he has even given to the priest the leg, and the two cheeks, and the stomach;
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 you give to him the first of your grain, of your new wine, and of your oil, and the first of the fleece of your flock;
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 your God YHWH has fixed on him, out of all your tribes, to stand to serve in the Name of YHWH—him and his sons continually.
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 when the Levite comes from one of your cities, out of all Israel where he has sojourned, and has come with all the desire of his soul to the place which YHWH chooses,
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 has ministered in the Name of his God YHWH like all his brothers, the Levites, who are standing there before YHWH.
asengeli kosala na Kombo na Yawe, Nzambe na ye, ndenge bandeko na ye nyonso Balevi bazali kosala kuna na miso ya Yawe.
8 They eat portion like portion, apart from his sold things from the fathers.
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 coming into the land which your God YHWH is giving to you, you do not learn to do according to 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 is not found in you one causing his son and his daughter to pass over into fire, a user of divinations, an observer of clouds, and an enchanter, and a sorcerer,
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 and a charmer, and one inquiring from a familiar spirit, and a wizard, and one seeking to the dead.
to moto oyo asalelaka makambo ya nkuku to moto oyo atunaka milimo to nganga-kisi to moto oyo asololaka na bakufi.
12 For everyone doing these [is] an abomination [to] YHWH, and because of these abominations your God YHWH is dispossessing them from your presence.
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 must be perfect with your God YHWH,
Bosengeli kozala bato bazangi pamela liboso ya Yawe, Nzambe na bino.
14 for these nations whom you are possessing listen to observers of clouds and to diviners; but you—your God YHWH has not permitted you so.
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 Your God YHWH raises up for you a Prophet like me out of your midst, out of your brothers—you must listen to Him,
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 asked from your God YHWH in Horeb, in the day of the assembly, saying, Do not let me add to hear the voice of my God YHWH, and do not let me see this great fire anymore, and I do not die;
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 YHWH says to me, They have done well [in] what they have spoken;
Yawe alobaki na ngai: « Makambo oyo balobi ezali malamu.
18 I raise up for them a Prophet like you out of the midst of their brothers, and I have given My words in His mouth, and He has spoken to them all that which I 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 has been [that] the man who does not listen to My words which He speaks in My Name, I 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 Only, the prophet who presumes to speak a word in My Name, which I have not commanded him to speak, and who speaks in the name of other gods, indeed, that prophet has died.
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 when you say in your heart, How do we know the word which YHWH has not spoken?
Tango mosusu bokoki komituna: ‹ Ndenge nini tokoki koyeba ete maloba oyo azali koloba ewuti solo epai na Yawe te? ›
22 That which the prophet speaks in the Name of YHWH, and the thing is not, and does not come—it [is] the word which YHWH has not spoken; the prophet has spoken it in presumption; you are not 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. »
