< Deuteronomy 11 >
1 Therefore you shall love YHWH your God, and keep his instructions, and his statutes, and his ordinances, and his commandments, always.
Boye, okolinga Yawe, Nzambe na yo, mpe okobatela tango nyonso malako na Ye, bikateli na Ye mpe mitindo na Ye.
2 Know this day: for I do not speak with your children who have not known, and who have not seen the chastisement of YHWH your God, his greatness, his mighty hand, and his outstretched arm,
Nazali koloba na bana na bino te oyo batikalaki te koyeba to komona nyonso wana, kasi na bino oyo bozali awa lelo ete bobosanaka te malako ya Yawe, Nzambe na bino, monene na Ye, nguya na Ye,
3 and his signs, and his works, which he did in the midst of Egypt to Pharaoh the king of Egypt, and to all his land;
bilembo mpe bikamwa oyo asalaki kati na Ejipito, epai ya Faraon, mokonzi ya Ejipito, mpe epai ya mokili na ye mobimba,
4 and what he did to the army of Egypt, to their horses, and to their chariots; how he made the water of the Red Sea to overflow them as they pursued after you, and how YHWH has destroyed them to this day;
makambo oyo asalaki na mampinga ya Ejipito, na bampunda mpe bashar na yango, ndenge azindisaki yango kati na Ebale monene ya barozo, tango ezalaki kolanda bino, mpe ndenge nini Yawe alimwisaki yango libela;
5 and what he did to you in the wilderness, until you came to this place;
makambo oyo asalelaki bino kati na esobe kino bokoma na esika oyo,
6 and what he did to Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, the son of Reuben; how the earth opened its mouth, and swallowed them up, and their households, and their tents, and every living thing that followed them, in the midst of all Israel:
makambo oyo asalaki na Datani mpe Abirami, bana mibali ya Eliabi, na libota ya Ribeni, tango mabele efungolaki monoko na yango mpe emelaki bango elongo na mabota na bango, bandako na bango mpe bato nyonso oyo bazalaki sima na bango kati na Isalaele mobimba.
7 but your eyes have seen all the great work of YHWH which he did.
Ezali bino nde bato bomonaki na miso na bino moko makambo nyonso ya minene oyo Yawe asalaki.
8 Therefore you shall keep every commandment which I command you this day, that you may be strong, and multiply, and go in and possess the land, where you go over to possess it;
Yango wana, bobatela mibeko nyonso oyo napesi bino lelo mpo ete bozala makasi mpe bokoka kobotola mokili oyo bolingi kokota mpo na kozwa
9 and that you may prolong your days in the land, which YHWH swore to your fathers to give to them and to their descendants, a land flowing with milk and honey.
mpe kowumela mingi kati na mokili oyo Yawe alakaki kopesa, na nzela ya ndayi, epai ya bakoko na bino mpe epai ya bakitani na bango, mokili oyo ezali kobimisa miliki mpe mafuta ya nzoyi.
10 For the land, where you go in to possess it, isn't as the land of Egypt, that you came out from, where you sowed your seed, and watered it with your feet, as a garden of herbs;
Mokili oyo ozali kokota mpo na kozwa ekokani te na mokili ya Ejipito epai wapi bowutaki. Kuna, bozalaki kolona bambuma mpe koyeisa mayi na bilanga na kosalaka banzela ya mayi na makolo na bino.
11 but the land, where you go over to possess it, is a land of hills and valleys which drinks water of the rain of the sky,
Kasi mokili oyo bozali kokota mpo na kozwa ezali mokili ya bangomba mpe ya mabwaku, mokili oyo mvula enokaka wuta na likolo.
12 a land which YHWH your God cares for: the eyes of YHWH your God are always on it, from the beginning of the year even to the end of the year.
Ezali mokili oyo Yawe, Nzambe na yo, abatelaka; miso ya Yawe, Nzambe na yo, ezalaka tango nyonso likolo na yango wuta na ebandeli kino na suka ya mobu.
13 It shall happen, if you shall listen diligently to my commandments which I command you this day, to love YHWH your God, and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul,
Soki bokotosa na boyengebene mibeko oyo napesi bino lelo ya kolinga Yawe, Nzambe na bino, mpe ya kosalela Ye na motema na bino mobimba mpe na molimo na bino mobimba,
14 that I will give the rain of your land in its season, the former rain and the latter rain, that you may gather in your grain, and your new wine, and your oil.
nakonokisa kati na mokili na bino mvula na tango na yango, mvula ya ebandeli ya eleko mpe mvula ya suka ya eleko, mpo ete bokoka kobuka mbuma ya malamu, bokoka kozwa vino ya sika mpe mafuta.
15 I will give grass in your fields for your livestock, and you shall eat and be full.
Nakokolisa matiti kati na bilanga mpo na bibwele na bino mpe bokolia mpe bokotonda.
16 Be careful, lest your heart be deceived, and you turn aside, and serve other gods, and worship them;
Bosala keba ete bokosama te mpe bopengwa te na kogumbamelaka banzambe mosusu mpe na kofukamelaka yango,
17 and the anger of YHWH be kindled against you, and he shut up the sky, so that there shall be no rain, and the land shall not yield its fruit; and you perish quickly from off the good land which YHWH gives you.
noki te Yawe akosilikela bino, akokanga likolo mpo ete enokisa lisusu mvula te mpe mabele ekobota lisusu te mbuma na yango; na bongo bokolimwa kati na mokili ya malamu oyo Yawe apesi bino.
18 Therefore you shall lay up these my words in your heart and in your soul; and you shall bind them for a sign on your hand, and they shall be for symbols between your eyes.
Bobatela malamu kati na mitema mpe milimo na bino maloba na ngai oyo, bokanga yango na maboko na bino lokola bilembo, mpe botia yango na bilongi na bino lokola elembo.
19 You shall teach them your children, talking of them, when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise up.
Boteya yango na bana na bino na kolobelaka bango yango tango bovandi kati na bandako mpe tango bozali kotambola na nzela, tango bolali pongi mpe tango bolamuki.
20 You shall write them on the door posts of your house, and on your gates;
Bokoma yango na makonzi ya bandako na bino mpe na bikuke na bino
21 that your days may be multiplied, and the days of your children, in the land which YHWH swore to your fathers to give them, as the days of the heavens above the earth.
mpo ete mikolo na bino mpe mikolo ya bakitani na bino ezala ebele kati na mokili oyo Yawe alakaki kopesa epai ya bakoko na bino na nzela na ndayi tango nyonso oyo mokili ekowumela.
22 For if you shall diligently keep all this commandment which I command you to do, to love YHWH your God, to walk in all his ways, and to cling to him;
Soki bobateli malamu mibeko nyonso oyo napesi bino mpo na kosalela, na kolingaka Yawe, Nzambe na bino, na kotambolaka na banzela na Ye nyonso mpe na kokangamaka na Ye;
23 then will YHWH drive out all these nations from before you, and you shall dispossess nations greater and mightier than yourselves.
wana Yawe akobengana liboso na bino bikolo oyo nyonso, mpe bokobotola bikolo oyo eleki bino na monene mpe na makasi.
24 Every place whereon the sole of your foot shall tread shall be yours: from the wilderness, and Lebanon, from the river, the river Perath, even to the western sea shall be your border.
Esika nyonso makolo na bino ekonyata, ekozala ya bino. Mokili na bino ekobanda wuta na esobe kino na Libani, wuta na Ebale Efrate kino na este ya Ebale monene.
25 No man shall be able to stand before you: YHWH your God shall lay the fear of you and the dread of you on all the land that you shall tread on, as he has spoken to you.
Moto moko te akolonga kotelemela bino. Ndenge Yawe Nzambe alakaki bino, akotia somo mpe kobanga kati na mokili mobimba, na esika nyonso oyo bokokende.
26 Look, I set before you this day a blessing and a curse:
Tala, natie lelo liboso na bino mapamboli mpe bilakeli mabe.
27 the blessing, if you shall listen to the commandments of YHWH your God, which I command you this day;
Mapamboli, soki botosi mibeko ya Yawe, Nzambe na bino, oyo napesi bino lelo;
28 and the curse, if you shall not listen to the commandments of YHWH your God, but turn aside out of the way which I command you this day, to go after other gods, which you have not known.
bilakeli mabe, soki boboyi kotosa mibeko ya Yawe, Nzambe na bino, mpe bopengwi na nzela oyo natindi bino lelo, na kosalelaka banzambe mosusu oyo bino botikalaki koyeba te.
29 It shall happen, when YHWH your God shall bring you into the land where you go to possess it, that you shall set the blessing on Mount Gerizim, and the curse on Mount Ebal.
Tango Yawe, Nzambe na bino, akokotisa bino na mokili oyo bozali kokota mpo na kozwa, bosengeli kotatola mapamboli na ngomba Garizimi, mpe bilakeli mabe, na ngomba Ebali.
30 Aren't they beyond the Jordan, behind the way of the going down of the sun, in the land of the Canaanites who dwell in the Arabah, over against Gilgal, beside the oaks of Moreh?
Bangomba nyonso mibale ezali na ngambo mosusu ya Yordani, ngambo ya weste, na mokili ya bato ya Kanana oyo bavandaka na etando ya Yordani, etalana na Giligali, pembeni ya banzete minene ya More.
31 For you are to pass over the Jordan to go in to possess the land which YHWH your God gives you, and you shall possess it, and dwell in it.
Kala mingi te, bokokatisa Yordani mpo na kokota mpe kozwa mokili oyo Yawe, Nzambe na bino, azali kopesa bino. Tango bokobotola yango mpe bokowumela kati na yango,
32 You shall observe to do all the statutes and the ordinances which I set before you this day.
bosala keba ete botosa bikateli nyonso mpe mibeko nyonso oyo nazali kotia liboso na bino lelo.
