Deuteronomy 14
1 Sons, are ye unto Yahweh your God, —ye shall not cut yourselves, neither shall ye put baldness between your eyes for the dead.
Bozali bana ya Yawe, Nzambe na bino: Bokoki te komikata nzoloko mpe kokokola suki ya mito na bino soki moto akufi,
2 For, a holy people, thou art unto Yahweh thy God, —and, of thee, did Yahweh make choice, that thou shouldest become his people as a treasure, above all the peoples that are on the face of the ground.
pamba te bozali libota ya bule mpo na Yawe, Nzambe na bino. Yawe aponaki bino kati na bato nyonso oyo bazali kati na mokili mpo ete bozala libota ya motuya mpo na Ye.
3 Thou shalt not eat any abominable thing.
Bokoki te kolia ata eloko moko ya mbindo.
4 These, are the beasts which ye may eat, —the ox, the young of sheep, and the young of goats;
Tala banyama oyo bokoki kolia: ngombe, meme, ntaba,
5 the hart and the gazelle and the roebuck, —and the wild goat and the mountain goat, and the wild ox, and the mountain sheep.
mbuli, mboloko, pambi, ntaba ya zamba, meme ya zamba, mbita mpe mpakasa.
6 And every beast that parteth the hoof and cleaveth the cleft into two claws, chewing the cud, among beasts, the same, shall ye eat.
Bokoki lisusu kolia nyama nyonso oyo ezali na litindi epasuka na kati-kati mpe ezongisaka na monoko biloko oyo ewuti na libumu.
7 Nevertheless these, shall ye not eat, of them that chew the cud, and of them that divide the cloven hoof, —the camel and the hare and the rabbit for, though they do chew the cud, yet the hoof, do they not part, unclean, they are unto you.
Kasi, kati na banyama oyo ezongisaka na monoko biloko oyo ewuti na libumu kasi litindi na yango epasuka te na kati-kati, tala banyama oyo bosengeli te kolia: shamo, mpanya ya matoyi milayi mpe mpanya ya zamba; pamba te ezongisaka na monoko biloko oyo ewuti na libumu, kasi litindi na yango epasuka te na kati-kati: ezali mbindo mpo na bino.
8 And, the swine, because though he doth divide the hoof, yet he cheweth not the cud, unclean, he is unto you, —of their flesh, shall ye not eat, and their carcases, shall ye not touch.
Nzokande ngulu ezali na litindi epasuka na kati-kati kasi ezongisaka te na monoko biloko oyo ewuti na libumu. Boye, ngulu ezali mbindo; bosengeli te kolia mosuni na yango to kosimba ebembe na yango.
9 These, may ye eat of all that that are in the waters, —whatsoever hath fins and scales, ye may eat;
Kati na bikelamu nyonso oyo evandaka na mayi, bokoki kolia nyonso oyo ezali na binyanyeli mpe biteku.
10 and, whatsoever hath not, fins and scales, ye may not eat, —unclean, it is unto you.
Kasi bokolia te nyonso oyo ezangi binyanyeli mpe biteku: ezali mbindo mpo na bino.
11 Of every clean bird, ye may eat;
Bokolia ndeke nyonso oyo ezangi mbindo.
12 saving these, of which ye may not eat, —the eagle and the ossifrage and the osprey;
Kasi tala bandeke oyo bokolia te: mpongo, engondo, mpongo ya ebale monene,
13 and the vulture and the kite, and the falcon after its kind;
kombekombe ya mwindo, bandeke ya lolenge nyonso oyo eliaka misuni, nzengo ya lolenge nyonso,
14 and every raven after its kind;
bayanganga ya lolenge nyonso:
15 and the female ostrich, and the male ostrich and the sea-gull, —and the hawk, after its kind;
maligbanga, kumu, ndeke ya ebale monene mpe bakombekombe ya lolenge nyonso.
16 and the pelican and the bittern, and the swan;
Esulungutu, esulungutu ya monene, esulungutu ya pembe,
17 and the vomiting pelican and the little vulture and the gannet;
libeke, ndeke oyo eliaka misuni ya kopola, libata ya mayi,
18 and the stork, and the parrot, after its kind, —and the mountain-cock, and the bat.
nkoko, mokwela ya lolenge nyonso, kengele mpe lolema.
19 And, as for every creeping thing that flieth, unclean, it is unto you, —they, shall not be eaten.
Bokoki kolia te banyama nyonso ya mike-mike oyo ezali na mapapu, ezali mbindo mpo na bino.
20 All clean fowls, ye may eat.
Nzokande, bokoki kolia nyonso oyo ezali na mapapu mpe ezangi mbindo.
21 Ye shall not eat any thing that dieth of itself: to the sojourner who is within thy gates, mayest thou give it and he may eat it or thou mayest sell it to a foreigner, for a holy people, art thou unto Yahweh thy God. Thou shalt not boil a kid, in the milk of its dam.
Bokoki kolia te nyama oyo bokuti ya kokufa; bokopesa yango epai ya mopaya oyo azali kovanda kati na engumba na bino; ye akoki na ye kolia yango; soki te bokoki na bino koteka yango epai ya moleki nzela, pamba te bozali libota ya bule mpo na Yawe, Nzambe na bino. Bokoki te kolamba mwana ntaba oyo ezali nanu komela mabele.
22 Thou shalt surely tithe, all the increase of thy seed, —which the field bringeth forth year by year.
Mibu nyonso, bokotia pembeni eteni ya zomi ya biloko nyonso oyo bilanga na bino ekobota.
23 And thou shalt eat before Yahweh thy God—in the place which he shall choose to make a habitation for his name there, —the tithe of thy corn thy new wine and thine oil, and the firstlings of thy herd and of thy flock, —that thou mayest learn to revere Yahweh thy God all the days.
Na miso ya Yawe, Nzambe na bino, mpe na esika oyo akopona mpo na kotia Kombo na Ye, bokolia eteni ya zomi ya ble na bino, ya vino ya sika mpe ya mafuta, bana nyonso ya liboso ya bangombe na bino, ya bantaba na bino mpe ya bameme na bino. Na bongo, bokoyekola kotosa Yawe, Nzambe na bino.
24 But, when the way becometh too long for thee because thou canst not carry it, because the place is too far for thee which Yahweh thy God shall choose to put his name there, —because Yahweh thy God blesseth thee,
Kasi soki esika yango ezali mosika mingi mpo na yo komema eteni na yo ya zomi epai na Yawe, Nzambe na yo, pamba te esika oyo Yawe aponaki mpo na kotia Kombo na Ye ezali mosika mingi, wana Nzambe na yo apamboli yo,
25 then shalt thou turn it into silver, —and shalt bind up the silver in thy hand, and shalt journey unto the place, which Yahweh thy God shall choose;
okoteka eteni na yo ya zomi; bongo mbongo oyo okozwa, okokende na yango na esika oyo Yawe, Nzambe na yo, akopona.
26 and shalt turn the silver into whatsoever thy soul desireth—of the herd or of the flock, or of wine or of strong drink, or of whatsoever thy soul shall ask thee for, —and shalt eat it there, before Yahweh thy God, and shalt rejoice, thou and thy household,
Okosalela mbongo yango mpo na kosomba eloko nyonso oyo olingi: ngombe, meme, ntaba, vino to masanga nyonso oyo elangwisaka to eloko nyonso oyo olingi. Bongo yo elongo na ndako na yo mobimba, bokoki kolia yango na esika wana, liboso ya Yawe, Nzambe na yo, mpe okosepela elongo na libota na yo.
27 and, the Levite who is within thy gates, thou shalt not forsake him, —for he hath neither portion nor inheritance with thee.
Kobosana te Balevi oyo bazali kati na bingumba na bino mpo ete bazali ata na eteni ya mabele te to libula mpo na bango moko.
28 At the end of three years, shalt thou bring forth all the tithe of thine increase in that year, —and shalt lay it up within thy gates;
Na suka ya mibu misato nyonso, bokomema biteni ya zomi nyonso ya mibu wana mpe bokobomba yango na bingumba na bino.
29 and the Levite shall come in—because he hath neither portion nor inheritance with thee—and the sojourner and the fatherless and the widow who are within thy gates, and they shall eat and be satisfied, —that Yahweh thy God may bless thee, in all the work of thy hand which thou shalt do.
Na bongo, Balevi oyo bazali na eteni ya mabele te to na libula te mpo na bango moko elongo na bapaya, bana bitike mpe basi bakufisa mibali oyo bavandaka na bingumba na bino, bakoya kolia mpe kotonda mpo ete Yawe, Nzambe na bino, akoka kopambola bino na misala na bino nyonso ya maboko.
