Deuteronomy 32
1 Give ear, you heavens, and I will speak. Let the earth hear 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 condense as the dew, as the small rain on the tender grass, as the showers on the herb.
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 For I will proclaim the name of YHWH. Ascribe greatness to our God.
Nakosakola Kombo ya Yawe. Bokumisa monene ya Nzambe na biso!
4 The Rock, his work is perfect, for all his ways are justice: a God of faithfulness 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 dealt corruptly with him. They are not his children, because of their defect. 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 you thus requite YHWH, foolish people and unwise? Isn't he your father who has bought you? He has 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 gave to the nations their inheritance, when he divided humankind, he set the bounds of the peoples according to the number of the sons of God.
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 YHWH'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, in the waste howling wilderness. He surrounded him. He cared for 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 that stirs up her nest, that flutters over her young, he spread abroad his wings, he took them, he bore them on his feathers.
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 YHWH alone led him. There was no foreign 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. He ate the increase of the field. He caused him to suck honey out of the rock, 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 the herd, and milk of the flock, with fat of lambs, rams of the breed of Bashan, and goats, with the finest of the wheat. Of the blood of the grape you drank wine.
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 Jacob ate his fill. Jeshurun grew fat, and kicked. You have grown fat. You have grown thick. You have become sleek. Then he forsook God who 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 moved him to jealousy with strange gods. They provoked him to anger with abominations.
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 to demons, not God, to gods that they did not know, to new gods that came up recently, which your fathers did not dread.
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 the Rock who fathered you, you are unmindful, and have forgotten God who gave you birth.
Bobosanaki Libanga oyo ebotaki bino mpe bomonaki pamba Nzambe oyo apesaki bino bomoi.
19 YHWH saw and abhorred, because of the provocation of his sons and his daughters.
Yawe amonaki likambo oyo mpe abwakaki bango, pamba te bana na bango ya mibali mpe ya basi bapesaki Ye kanda.
20 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 faithfulness.
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. I will move them to jealousy with those who 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 my anger, and burns to the lowest Sheol, and devours the earth with its increase, and sets the foundations of the mountains on fire. (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 evils on them. I will spend my arrows on them.
Nakobakisela bango pasi likolo ya pasi, nakobwakela bango makonga na Ngai.
24 They shall be wasted with hunger, and devoured with burning heat and bitter destruction. I will send the teeth of animals on them, With the poison of crawling creatures 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 Outside the sword shall bereave, and in the rooms, terror; on both young man and virgin, The nursing infant with the gray-haired man.
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 want to cut them to pieces. I will remove the memory of them from men;
Nalobaki: Nakopanza bango mpe nakosala ete bato babosana bango.
27 were it not that I feared the provocation of the enemy, lest their adversaries should judge wrongly, lest they should say, 'Our hand is exalted, YHWH 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. There is no understanding in them.
Bato oyo bazali ekolo ezanga mayele, bazali na bososoli te kati na bango.
29 Oh 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 could one chase a thousand, and two put ten thousand to flight, unless their Rock had sold them, and YHWH had delivered 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, 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 serpents, The cruel venom of asps.
Vino na bango ezali ngenge ya banyoka, ngenge ya etupa, ngenge oyo ebomaka.
34 "Isn't this laid up in store with me, sealed up among my treasures?
« Boni, ebombami epai na Ngai te? Ekangami te lokola elembo na bomengo na Ngai?
35 Vengeance is mine, I will repay, at the time when their foot slides; for the day of their calamity is near, and the things to come hasten upon them."
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 YHWH will judge his people, and have compassion on his servants, when he sees that their strength is gone and there is none remaining, confined or set free.
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 will say, "Where are their gods, the rock in which they took refuge?
Bongo akoloba: « Wapi banzambe na bango? Wapi libanga epai wapi babombamaki?
38 Who ate the fat of their sacrifices and drank the wine of their drink offering? Let them rise up and help you. Let them 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 besides me. I kill, and I make alive. I wound, and I heal; and there is no one who 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, 'As I live forever,
Natomboli loboko na Ngai na likolo, mpe nalobi: Na Kombo na Ngai,
41 if I sharpen my flashing sword and my hand takes hold on judgment; I will render vengeance to my adversaries, and will recompense those who 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 my arrows drunk with blood. My sword shall devour flesh with the blood of the slain and the captives, from the head of the leaders of 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 heavens, with him, and let all the angels of God worship him. Rejoice, O nations, with his people, and let all the children of God strengthen themselves in him. For he will avenge the blood of his children, and he will render vengeance to his enemies, and he will recompense them that hate him, and he atones for the land of 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 Moses came and spoke all the words of this song in the ears of the people, he and Joshua 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 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 He said to them, "Set your heart to all the words which I testify to you this day, which 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 no vain thing for you; because it is your life, and through this thing you shall prolong your days in the land, where you go over the 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 YHWH spoke to Moses that same day, saying,
Na mokolo wana kaka, Yawe alobaki na Moyize:
49 "Go up into this mountain of Abarim, to Mount Nebo, which is in the land of Moab, that is over against Jericho; and see the land of Canaan, which I give to 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 on the mountain where you go up, and be gathered to your people, as Aaron your brother died on Mount Hor, and was gathered to 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 you trespassed against me in the midst of the children of Israel at the waters of Meribah of Kadesh, in the wilderness of Zin; because you did not sanctify me 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 For you shall see the land before you; but you shall not go there into 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. »
