Deuteronomy 8
1 All the commandment which I am commanding thee to-day, shalt thou, observe, to do, —that ye may, live, and multiply, and enter in and possess the land, which Yahweh sware unto 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 So then, thou shalt remember all the way in which Yahweh thy God caused thee to journey these forty years in the desert, —that he might humble thee to put thee to the proof to know what was in thy heart, —whether thou wouldest 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 So he humbled thee, and suffered thee to hunger, and fed thee with manna which thou hadst not known, neither had thy fathers known, —that he might lead thee to consider that not on bread alone, shall the son of earth live, but on whatsoever cometh from the bidding of Yahweh, shall the son of earth 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 Thy mantle, hath not fallen with age from off thee, and, thy foot, hath not become swollen, —these forty years.
Bilamba na yo etikalaki konzuluka te mpe makolo na yo etikalaki kovimba te na mibu wana tuku minei.
5 Thou must consider, then with thy heart, —that as a man chasteneth his son, Yahweh thy God, hath been chastening thee.
Boye sosola ete Yawe, Nzambe na yo, azalaki koteya yo ndenge tata ateyaka mwana na ye.
6 Thou shalt therefore keep the commandments of Yahweh thy God, —to walk in his ways and to revere him.
Tosaka mitindo ya Yawe, Nzambe na yo, na kotambolaka na banzela na Ye mpe na kopesaka Ye lokumu.
7 For, Yahweh thy God, is bringing thee into a good land; a land of ravines of water, of fountains and depths, coming forth in valley, and in mountain:
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 vine and fig-tree, and pomegranate, —a land of olive oil, 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 wherein not in scarcity, shalt thou eat food, thou shalt lack nothing therein, —a land whose stones are iron, and out of whose hills thou mayest hew copper.
mokili oyo bokozanga lipa te mpe eloko moko te; mokili oyo mabanga ezali bibende mpe bokoki kobimisa motako na bangomba.
10 So then thou shalt eat and be satisfied, —and bless Yahweh thy God, for the good land which he hath given unto thee.
Tango bokolia mpe bokotonda, bosanzola Yawe, Nzambe na bino, mpo na mokili ya malamu oyo apesi bino.
11 Take heed to thyself, lest thou forget Yahweh thy God, —so as not to keep his commandments and his regulations and his statutes, which I am commanding thee to-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 thou eat, and be satisfied, —and goodly houses, thou build and inhabit;
Tango okolia mpe okotonda, tango okotonga bandako ya kitoko mpe okovanda kuna,
13 and thy herd and thy flock, increase, and silver and gold, increase unto thee, —and all that thou hast, increase;
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 and so thy heart be lifted up, —and thou forget Yahweh thy God, who brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt out of the house of servants;
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 caused thee to journey through the great and terrible desert, of fiery serpents and scorpions, and thirsty wastes where was no water, —who brought forth for thee water out of the flinty rock;
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 thee with manna in the desert, which thy fathers had not known, —that he might humble thee, and that he might put thee to the proof, to do thee good in thy hereafter,
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 thou shouldest say in thy heart, —Mine own strength and the might of mine own hand, have 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 thou shalt remember Yahweh thy God, that it was, he, who had been giving thee strength to get wealth, —that so he might establish his covenant which he sware to thy 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 But it shall be if thou forget, Yahweh thy God, and go after ether gods, and serve them, and bow thyself down to them, I testify against you to-day, that ye shall perish:
Soki obosani Yawe, Nzambe na yo, soki osaleli banzambe mosusu, soki ogumbameli mpe ofukameli yango, nalobi na bino solo lelo ete bokobebisama.
20 like the nations which, Yahweh, is causing to perish from before you, so, shall ye perish, because ye would not hearken unto the voice of Yahweh your God.
Bokobebisama solo lokola bikolo oyo Yawe abebisaki liboso na bino, mpo ete botosi te Yawe, Nzambe na bino.
