Deuteronomy 16

1 Observe the month of Abib, and keep the Passover to YHWH your God; for in the month of Abib YHWH your God brought you forth out of Egypt by night.

Batela sanza ya Abibi mpe sepela feti ya Pasika mpo na Yawe, Nzambe na yo, pamba te ezalaki na butu moko ya sanza yango nde Yawe abimisaki yo na Ejipito.

2 You shall sacrifice the Passover to YHWH your God, of the flock and the herd, in the place which YHWH shall choose, to cause his name to dwell there.

Tala biloko oyo okobonza lokola mbeka ya Pasika mpo na Yawe, Nzambe na yo, na esika oyo akopona mpo na kotia Kombo na Ye: ngombe ya mobali, meme ya mobali mpe ntaba ya mwasi.

3 You shall eat no leavened bread with it. You shall eat unleavened bread with it seven days, even the bread of affliction; for you came forth out of the land of Egypt in haste: that you may remember the day when you came forth out of the land of Egypt all the days of your life.

Okolia yango te na mapa oyo basangisa na levire. Kasi mikolo sambo, okolia mapa ezanga levire, mapa ya pasi, pamba te obimaki na Ejipito na lombangu. Okosalaka bongo na mikolo nyonso ya bomoi na yo mpo ete okanisaka mokolo oyo obimaki na Ejipito.

4 No yeast shall be seen with you in all your borders seven days; neither shall any of the flesh, which you sacrifice the first day at evening, remain all night until the morning.

Tika ete levire emonana te epai na yo, kati na mokili na yo nyonso mikolo sambo. Kotika te ete nyama oyo babonzi na pokwa ya mokolo ya liboso etikala kino na tongo.

5 You may not sacrifice the Passover within any of your gates, which YHWH your God gives you;

Okoki te kobonza mbeka ya Pasika kati na bingumba nyonso oyo Yawe, Nzambe na bino, apesi yo.

6 but at the place which YHWH your God shall choose, to cause his name to dwell in, there you shall sacrifice the Passover at evening, at the going down of the sun, at the season that you came forth out of Egypt.

Ezali kaka na esika oyo Yawe, Nzambe na yo, akopona mpo na kotia Kombo na Ye nde bokobonza mbeka ya Pasika. Bokosala yango na pokwa, tango moyi elalaka, ngonga oyo obimaki na Ejipito.

7 You shall roast and eat it in the place which YHWH your God shall choose: and you shall turn in the morning, and go to your tents.

Okolamba mpe okolia yango na esika oyo Yawe, Nzambe na yo, akopona. Bongo na tongo, okozonga na ndako na yo.

8 Six days you shall eat unleavened bread. On the seventh day shall be a solemn assembly to YHWH your God; you shall do no work.

Mikolo motoba, okolia mapa ezanga levire; bongo na mokolo ya sambo, okosala feti monene mpo na Yawe, Nzambe na yo; okosala mosala moko te.

9 You shall count for yourselves seven weeks: from the time you begin to put the sickle to the standing grain you shall begin to number seven weeks.

Okotanga baposo sambo, kobanda na mokolo oyo okotia mbeli na elanga ya ble mpo na kobuka ble yango.

10 You shall keep the feast of weeks to YHWH your God with a tribute of a freewill offering of your hand, which you shall give, according as YHWH your God blesses you:

Okosala feti ya Baposo mpo na Yawe, Nzambe na yo; okobonzela Ye makabo wuta na mokano ya motema na yo moko kolanda mapamboli oyo Yawe, Nzambe na yo, akopesa yo.

11 and you shall rejoice before YHWH your God, you, and your son, and your daughter, and your male servant, and your female servant, and the Levite who is within your gates, and the foreigner, and the fatherless, and the widow, who are in the midst of you, in the place which YHWH your God shall choose, to cause his name to dwell there.

Okosepela liboso ya Yawe, Nzambe na yo, na esika oyo akopona mpo na kotia Kombo na Ye: yo, bana na yo ya mibali, bana na yo ya basi, bawumbu na yo ya mibali, basi bawumbu na yo, Balevi oyo bazali kati na bingumba na yo, bapaya, bana bitike mpe basi bakufisa mibali oyo bazali kovanda kati na yo.

12 You shall remember that you were a bondservant in Egypt: and you shall observe and do these statutes.

Kobosana te ete ozalaki mowumbu kati na Ejipito mpe salela malamu mitindo oyo.

13 You shall keep the feast of tents seven days, after that you have gathered in from your threshing floor and from your winepress:

Mpo na oyo etali feti ya Bandako ya kapo, okosala yango mikolo sambo sima na yo kosangisa bambuma na yo ya ble mpe kokamola vino na yo.

14 and you shall rejoice in your feast, you, and your son, and your daughter, and your male servant, and your female servant, and the Levite, and the foreigner, and the fatherless, and the widow, who are within your gates.

Okozala na esengo na feti yango: yo, bana na yo ya mibali mpe ya basi, bawumbu na yo ya mibali, basi bawumbu na yo, Balevi, bapaya, bana bitike mpe basi bakufisa mibali oyo bazali kati na bingumba na yo.

15 You shall keep a feast to YHWH your God seven days in the place which YHWH shall choose; because YHWH your God will bless you in all your increase, and in all the work of your hands, and you shall be altogether joyful.

Mikolo sambo, okosala yango feti mpo na Yawe, Nzambe na yo, na bisika oyo Yawe akopona; pamba te Yawe, Nzambe na yo, akopambola milona na yo mpe misala nyonso ya maboko na yo; bongo esengo na yo ekozala mingi koleka.

16 Three times in a year shall all your males appear before YHWH your God in the place which he shall choose: in the feast of unleavened bread, and in the feast of weeks, and in the feast of tents; and they shall not appear before YHWH empty:

Mbala misato na mobu, mibali nyonso basengeli kokende liboso ya Yawe, Nzambe na yo, na esika oyo Ye akopona: na feti ya Mapa ezanga levire, na feti ya Baposo, mpe na feti ya Bandako ya kapo. Moko te akokende liboso ya Yawe, maboko pamba:

17 every man shall give as he is able, according to the blessing of YHWH your God which he has given you.

moko na moko kati na bino asengeli komema likabo kolanda mapamboli oyo Yawe, Nzambe na yo, apesi ye.

18 You shall make judges and officers in all your gates, which YHWH your God gives you, according to your tribes; and they shall judge the people with righteous judgment.

Okopona basambisi mpe bakalaka kati na bikolo na yo nyonso, kati na bingumba nyonso oyo Yawe, Nzambe na yo, akopesa yo. Bakokata makambo ya bato na bosembo.

19 You shall not wrest justice: you shall not respect persons; neither shall you take a bribe; for a bribe does blind the eyes of the wise, and pervert the words of the righteous.

Okobebisaka bosembo te, okoponaka bilongi te, okondimaka kanyaka te, pamba te ezipaka miso ya bato ya bwanya mpe ebebisaka maloba ya bato ya sembo.

20 You shall follow that which is altogether just, that you may live, and inherit the land which YHWH your God gives you.

Okosalelaka bosembo mpe bosembo kaka, mpo ete owumela mpe okamata mokili oyo Yawe, Nzambe na yo, akopesa yo.

21 You shall not plant for yourselves an Asherah of any kind of tree beside the altar of YHWH your God, which you shall make for yourselves.

Okotelemisa te likonzi ya nzambe mwasi Ashera pembeni ya etumbelo oyo okotonga mpo na Yawe, Nzambe na yo.

22 Neither shall you set yourself up a pillar; which YHWH your God hates.

Okotelemisa te libanga ya bule, pamba te Yawe, Nzambe na yo, ayinaka nyonso wana.
