Deuteronomy 6
1 This, then is the commandment—[namely] the statutes and the regulations, which Yahweh your God hath commanded to teach you, —that ye may do them in the land whither ye are passing over to possess it:
Tala mibeko, bikateli mpe malako oyo Yawe, Nzambe na bino, atindi ngai koteya bino mpo ete bosalela yango kati na mokili oyo bokokota mpo na kokamata yango,
2 that thou mayest revere Yahweh thy God, [so as] to keep all his statutes and his commandments which I am commanding thee, thou and thy son and thy sons’ son, all the days of thy life, —and that thy days may be prolonged.
mpo ete yo, bana na yo mpe bakitani na yo, botosa Yawe, Nzambe na bino, tango nyonso oyo bokozala na bomoi na kobatelaka bikateli na Ye nyonso mpe mibeko oyo napesi bino mpo ete bozala na bomoi molayi.
3 Therefore shalt thou hear, O Israel, and shalt observe to do, that it may be well with thee, and that ye may multiply greatly, as Yahweh the God of thy fathers hath spoken to thee, in a land flowing with milk and honey.
Oh Isalaele, yoka malamu! Senzela ete otosa yango mpo ete ozala malamu mpe bokoma ebele na mokili oyo ezali kobimisa miliki mpe mafuta ya nzoyi, ndenge Yawe Nzambe ya bakoko na bino alakaki bino.
4 Hear, O Israel: Yahweh, is our God, —Yahweh alone.
Isalaele, yoka malamu! Yawe azali Nzambe na biso, Yawe azali kaka moko.
5 Thou shalt therefore love Yahweh thy God, —with all thy heart and with all thy soul, and with all thy might;
Okolinga Yawe, Nzambe na yo, na motema na yo mobimba, na molimo na yo mobimba mpe na makasi na yo nyonso.
6 so shall these words which I am commanding thee to-day, be upon thy heart;
Tika ete mibeko oyo napesi yo lelo, ewumela kati na motema na yo.
7 and thou shalt impress them upon thy sons, and shalt speak of them, —when thou sittest in thy house and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down and when thou risest up;
Okoteyaka yango na bana na yo tango ozali na ndako, tango ozali kotambola na nzela, tango olali mpe tango olamuki.
8 and thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thy hand, —and they shall serve for bands between thine eyes;
Kanga yango na maboko na yo lokola bilembo mpe tia yango na elongi na yo lokola elembo.
9 and thou shalt write them upon the posts of thy house and within thy gates.
Koma yango na makonzi ya ndako na yo mpe na bikuke na yo.
10 So shall it be, when Yahweh thy God shall bring thee into the land, which he sware to thy fathers—to Abraham to Isaac and to Jacob to give unto thee, —into cities great and goodly, which thou didst not build;
Tango Yawe, Nzambe na yo, akokotisa yo na mokili oyo alapelaki ndayi epai ya bakoko na yo, epai ya Abrayami, Izaki, mpe Jakobi mpo na kopesa yo bingumba ya minene mpe ya malamu oyo yo otongaki te,
11 and houses full of all good things, which thou filledst not, and hewn cisterns which thou hewedst not, vineyards and oliveyards which thou plantedst not, —and shalt eat and be full,
bandako etonda na biloko ya malamu ya ndenge na ndenge oyo yo otiaki te, mabulu ya mayi oyo yo otimolaki te, bilanga ya vino mpe ya olive oyo yo olonaki te; boye tango okolia mpe okotonda;
12 take heed unto thyself, lest thou forget Yahweh, —who brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt out of the house of servants.
keba ete obosana Yawe te oyo abimisaki yo na Ejipito, mokili ya bowumbu.
13 Yahweh thy God, shalt thou revere And him, shalt thou serve, —And by his name, shalt thou swear.
Tosa Yawe, Nzambe na yo; salela kaka Ye mpe lapa ndayi na yo na Kombo na Ye.
14 Ye shall not go after other gods, —of the gods of the peoples who are surrounding you;
Kosalela banzambe mosusu te, banzambe ya bato oyo bazingeli yo;
15 for a jealous GOD, is Yahweh thy God in thy midst, —lest the anger of Yahweh thy God kindle upon thee, and so he destroy thee from off the face of the ground.
pamba te Yawe, Nzambe na yo, oyo azali kati na yo, azali Nzambe ya zuwa, mpo ete asilikela yo te mpe abebisa yo te na mokili.
16 Ye shall not put Yahweh your God to the proof, —as ye put him to the proof in Massah [that is, "The place of proving"].
Komeka te Yawe, Nzambe na yo, ndenge osalaki na Masa.
17 Ye shall, keep, the commandments of Yahweh your God and his testimonies and his statutes which he hath commanded thee;
Batela malamu mibeko, mitindo mpe bikateli ya Yawe, Nzambe na yo, oyo apesi yo.
18 so shalt thou do what is right and what is pleasing in the eyes of Yahweh, —that it may be well with thee, and thou mayest enter in and possess the good land, which Yahweh sware unto thy fathers;
Sala oyo ezali alima mpe malamu na miso ya Yawe, mpo ete ozala moto ya esengo, mpo ete okota, mpe mpo ete okamata mokili ya malamu oyo Yawe alakaki kopesa na bakoko na yo na nzela ya ndayi,
19 to thrust out all thine enemies from before thee, —As spake Yahweh.
na kobengana banguna na yo nyonso liboso na yo, ndenge Yawe alobaki.
20 When thy son shall ask thee in time to come, saying, —What mean the testimonies and the statutes and the regulations, which Yahweh our God commanded you?
Na mikolo ekoya, soki mwana na yo ya mobali atuni yo: Mitindo, bikateli mpe mibeko oyo Yawe, Nzambe na biso, atinda yo, elingi kolakisa nini?
21 Then shalt thou say unto thy son, Servants, were we unto Pharaoh in Egypt, —and Yahweh brought us forth out of Egypt with a firm hand;
Okoloba na ye: Tozalaki bawumbu ya Faraon na Ejipito, kasi Yawe abimisaki biso na Ejipito na loboko na ye ya nguya.
22 and Yahweh put forth signs and wonders great and sore upon Egypt upon Pharaoh and upon all his household before our eyes;
Yawe asalaki na miso na biso bilembo minene mpe bikamwa, ya minene mpe ya somo na Ejipito, na Faraon mpe na ndako na ye mobimba.
23 but he brought us forth from thence, —that he might bring us in, to give unto us the land, which he sware unto our fathers.
Kasi abimisaki biso kuna mpo na kokotisa biso mpe kopesa biso mokili oyo alakaki na bakoko na biso na ndayi oyo alapaki.
24 So then Yahweh commanded us to do all these statutes, to revere Yahweh our God, —for our good, all the days, to preserve us alive (as at this day);
Yawe atindaki biso kotosa mibeko oyo nyonso mpe kobanga Yawe, Nzambe na biso, mpo ete tozala tango nyonso malamu mpe tozala na bomoi ndenge ezali lelo.
25 and righteousness, shall it be to us, —when we take heed to do all this commandment, before Yahweh our God, as he commanded us.
Mpe soki totosi malamu mibeko nyonso oyo, liboso ya Yawe, Nzambe na biso, ndenge atindaki biso, wana tokozala bato ya sembo.
