Deuteronomy 16
1 Observe the month of Abib, when thou shalt keep a passover unto Yahweh thy God, —for in the month of Abib, did Yahweh thy God bring thee 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 therefore shalt thou sacrifice a passover unto Yahweh thy God of flock or herd, —in the place which Yahweh shall choose to make a habitation for his name 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 Thou shalt not eat therewith any thing leavened, seven days, shalt thou eat therewith unleavened cakes the bread of humiliation, —for in haste, camest thou forth out of the land of Egypt, that thou mayest remember the day when thou camest forth out of the land of Egypt, all the days of thy 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 And there shall not be seen with thee leaven in any of thy bounds seven days, —neither shall there remain all night of the flesh which thou shalt sacrifice in the evening, on the first day, unto 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 Thou mayest not sacrifice the passover, —within any of thine own gates which Yahweh thy God is giving unto thee;
Okoki te kobonza mbeka ya Pasika kati na bingumba nyonso oyo Yawe, Nzambe na bino, apesi yo.
6 but in the place which Yahweh thy God shall choose to make a habitation for his name, there, shalt thou sacrifice the passover in the evening, —at the going in of the sun, at the very time thou camest 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 Therefore shalt thou cook and eat it in the place which Yahweh thy God, shall choose, —and shalt turn away in the morning, and go thy way unto thy tents.
Okolamba mpe okolia yango na esika oyo Yawe, Nzambe na yo, akopona. Bongo na tongo, okozonga na ndako na yo.
8 Six days, shalt thou eat unleavened cakes, —and, on the seventh day, shall be a closing feast, unto Yahweh thy God, thou shalt 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 Seven weeks, shalt thou count unto thee, —from the beginning of thrusting in the sickle into the standing corn, shalt thou begin to count, seven weeks.
Okotanga baposo sambo, kobanda na mokolo oyo okotia mbeli na elanga ya ble mpo na kobuka ble yango.
10 So shalt thou keep the festival of weeks unto Yahweh thy God, in the measure of the freewill offering of thy hand which thou shalt give, —as Yahweh thy God shall bless thee.
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 So shalt thou rejoice before Yahweh thy God—thou, and thy son and thy daughter and thy servant and thy handmaid, and the Levite who is within thy gates, and the sojourner, and the fatherless and the widow who are in thy midst, —in the place which Yahweh thy God shall choose, to make a habitation for his name 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 So shalt thou remember that a servant, thou wast in Egypt, —and shalt observe and do these statutes.
Kobosana te ete ozalaki mowumbu kati na Ejipito mpe salela malamu mitindo oyo.
13 The festival of booths, shalt thou keep for thyself seven days, —when thou hast gathered in out of thy threshing-floor and out of thy wine-vat.
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 thou shalt rejoice in thy festival, —thou, and thy son and thy daughter, and thy servant and thy handmaid, and the Levite and the sojourner, and the fatherless and the widow, who are within thy 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 Seven days, shalt thou keep festival unto Yahweh thy God, in the place which Yahweh shall choose, —for Yahweh thy God, will bless thee, in all thine increase and in all the work of thy hands, —therefore shalt thou do nothing but, rejoice.
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 the year, shall each one of thy males see the face of Yahweh thy God, in the place which he shall choose, at the festival of unleavened cakes and at the festival of weeks and at the festival of booths, —and none shall see the face of Yahweh empty-handed:
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 according as his hand can give, —according to the blessing of Yahweh thy God, which he hath bestowed upon thee.
moko na moko kati na bino asengeli komema likabo kolanda mapamboli oyo Yawe, Nzambe na yo, apesi ye.
18 Judges and officers, shalt thou appoint thee in all thy gates, which Yahweh thy God is giving unto thee, by thy 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 Thou shalt not wrest judgment, thou shalt not take note of faces, —nor shalt thou accept a bribe, for the bribe, blindeth the eyes of wise men, and perverteth the words of righteous men.
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 What is right, what is right, shalt thou pursue, —that thou mayest live and possess the land, which, Yahweh thy God, is giving unto thee.
Okosalelaka bosembo mpe bosembo kaka, mpo ete owumela mpe okamata mokili oyo Yawe, Nzambe na yo, akopesa yo.
21 Thou shalt not plant thee, as a sacred stem, any tree, —near unto the altar of Yahweh thy God which thou shalt make for thyself;
Okotelemisa te likonzi ya nzambe mwasi Ashera pembeni ya etumbelo oyo okotonga mpo na Yawe, Nzambe na yo.
22 neither shalt thou set thee up a pillar, —which Yahweh thy God, doth hate.
Okotelemisa te libanga ya bule, pamba te Yawe, Nzambe na yo, ayinaka nyonso wana.
