Deuteronomy 8
1 You shall observe to do all the commandment which I command you this day, that you may live, and multiply, and go in and possess the land which YHWH swore to your fathers.
Salela na bokebi mitindo nyonso oyo nalingi kopesa bino lelo mpo ete bokoka kovanda, kokoma ebele, kokota mpe kozwa mokili oyo Yawe alakaki epai ya bakoko na bino na nzela ya ndayi.
2 You shall remember all the way which YHWH your God has led you these forty years in the wilderness, that he might humble you, to prove you, and to know what was in your heart, whether you would keep his commandments, or not.
Kobosanaka te ndenge Yawe, Nzambe na yo, akambaki yo na mobembo nyonso kati na esobe mibu tuku minei, mpe ndenge abukaki lolendo na yo mpe amekaki yo mpo na koyeba mozindo ya motema na yo mpe kotala soki okotosa mibeko na Ye to te.
3 He humbled you, and allowed you to be hungry, and fed you with manna, which you did not know, neither did your fathers know; that he might make you know that humankind cannot live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God shall humankind live.
Abukaki lolendo na yo, abomaki yo nzala mpe aleisaki yo mana oyo yo mpe batata na yo botikalaki koyeba te, mpo na koteya yo ete moto abikaka kaka na lipa te, kasi mpe na maloba nyonso oyo ebimaka na monoko ya Yawe.
4 Your clothing did not grow old on you, neither did your foot swell, these forty years.
Bilamba na yo etikalaki konzuluka te mpe makolo na yo etikalaki kovimba te na mibu wana tuku minei.
5 You shall consider in your heart that as a man chastens his son, so YHWH your God chastens you.
Boye sosola ete Yawe, Nzambe na yo, azalaki koteya yo ndenge tata ateyaka mwana na ye.
6 You shall keep the commandments of YHWH your God, to walk in his ways, and to fear him.
Tosaka mitindo ya Yawe, Nzambe na yo, na kotambolaka na banzela na Ye mpe na kopesaka Ye lokumu.
7 For YHWH your God brings you into a good and spacious land, a land of brooks of water, of springs, and underground water flowing into valleys and hills;
Pamba te Yawe, Nzambe na yo, azali kokotisa yo na mokili ya malamu, mokili oyo etonda na mayi, na mabulu ya mayi mpe na bitima oyo etiolaka na lubwaku mpe na bangomba;
8 a land of wheat and barley, and vines and fig trees and pomegranates; a land of olive trees and honey;
mokili oyo etonda na ble, na orje, na vino, na banzete ya figi, na banzete ya grenade; mokili ya mafuta ya olive mpe ya nzoyi;
9 a land in which you shall eat bread without scarcity, and in which you will lack nothing; a land whose stones are iron, and out of whose hills you may dig copper.
mokili oyo bokozanga lipa te mpe eloko moko te; mokili oyo mabanga ezali bibende mpe bokoki kobimisa motako na bangomba.
10 You shall eat and be full, and you shall bless YHWH your God for the good land which he has given you.
Tango bokolia mpe bokotonda, bosanzola Yawe, Nzambe na bino, mpo na mokili ya malamu oyo apesi bino.
11 Beware lest you forget YHWH your God, in not keeping his commandments, and his ordinances, and his statutes, which I command you this day:
Sala keba ete obosana te Yawe, Nzambe na yo, na kozanga kotosa mitindo na Ye, mibeko na Ye mpe bikateli na Ye oyo nazali kopesa yo lelo.
12 lest, when you have eaten and are full, and have built goodly houses, and lived in them;
Tango okolia mpe okotonda, tango okotonga bandako ya kitoko mpe okovanda kuna,
13 and when your herds and your flocks multiply, and your silver and your gold is multiplied, and all that you have is multiplied;
tango bangombe na yo, bantaba na yo mpe bameme na yo ekobotana mingi, tango palata na yo mpe wolo na yo ekokoma ebele mpe biloko nyonso oyo ozali na yango ekokoma ebele;
14 then your heart be lifted up, and you forget YHWH your God, who brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage;
sala keba ete motema na yo etonda na lofundu te mpe obosana te Yawe, Nzambe na yo, oyo abimisaki yo na Ejipito, mokili ya bowumbu,
15 who led you through the great and terrible wilderness, with fiery serpents and scorpions, and thirsty ground where there was no water; who brought you forth water out of the rock of flint;
oyo akambaki yo na esobe ya monene mpe ya somo, na bitando ekawuka mpe ezanga mayi, etando etonda na banyoka ya ngenge mpe na koto mpe abimiselaki yo mayi ya komela wuta na libanga moko ya makasi.
16 who fed you in the wilderness with manna, which your fathers did not know; that he might humble you, and that he might prove you, to do you good at your latter end:
Kati na esobe yango, apesaki yo mana mpo na kolia, bilei oyo batata na yo batikala koyeba te, mpo na kobuka lolendo na yo mpe komeka yo, mpo ete na suka, okoka komona bolamu.
17 and lest you say in your heart, "My power and the might of my hand has gotten me this wealth."
Boye sala keba ete omilobela te: « Nguya na ngai moko mpe makasi ya maboko na ngai moko nde eboteli ngai bomengo oyo! »
18 But you shall remember YHWH your God, for it is he who gives you power to get wealth; that he may establish his covenant which he swore to your fathers, as at this day.
Mpo na yango, kobosanaka te ete ezali Yawe, Nzambe na yo, nde apesaki yo makoki ya kozwa bomengo oyo mpo na kolendisa boyokani na Ye, oyo asalaki elongo na bakoko na bino na nzela ya ndayi, ndenge ezali na mokolo ya lelo.
19 It shall be, if you shall forget YHWH your God, and walk after other gods, and serve them, and worship them, I testify against you this day that you shall surely perish.
Soki obosani Yawe, Nzambe na yo, soki osaleli banzambe mosusu, soki ogumbameli mpe ofukameli yango, nalobi na bino solo lelo ete bokobebisama.
20 As the nations that YHWH makes to perish before you, so you shall perish; because you wouldn't listen to the voice of YHWH your God.
Bokobebisama solo lokola bikolo oyo Yawe abebisaki liboso na bino, mpo ete botosi te Yawe, Nzambe na bino.
