< Deuteronomy 29 >

1 These are the things that the Israelis were required to do to keep the agreement that Yahweh was making with them. Moses/I commanded them to keep this agreement [when they/we were] in the Moab region [on the east side of the Jordan River]. This was in addition to the agreement that Yahweh had made with them/us at Sinai [Mountain].
Tala maloba ya boyokani oyo Yawe atindaki Moyize kosala elongo na bana ya Isalaele na etando ya Moabi, na likolo ya boyokani oyo asalaki na bango na ngomba Orebi.
2 Moses/I summoned all the Israeli people and said to them, “You saw [SYN] for yourselves what Yahweh did to the king of Egypt and to his officials and to his entire country.
Moyize abengisaki bana nyonso ya Isalaele mpe alobaki na bango: « Miso na bino emonaki makambo nyonso oyo Yawe asalaki na Ejipito epai ya Faraon, epai ya basali na ye nyonso mpe kati na mokili na ye mobimba.
3 You [SYN] saw all the plagues [that Yahweh caused them to experience], and all the various miracles [DOU] [that Yahweh performed].
Na miso na bino moko, bomonaki komekama monene, bilembo minene mpe bikamwa.
4 But until now, Yahweh has not enabled you to understand [the meaning of] all that you have seen and heard.
Kasi kino na mokolo ya lelo, Yawe apesaki bino te mayele mpo na kososola to miso mpo na komona to matoyi mpo na koyoka.
5 For 40 years Yahweh has led you while you traveled/walked through the desert. During that time, your clothes and your sandals have not worn out.
Na mibu tuku minei oyo Ngai Yawe nakambaki bino na esobe, bilamba na bino enzulukaki te mpe basandale na makolo na bino ekufaki te.
6 You did not have bread to eat or wine or other fermented/strong drinks to drink, but Yahweh [took care of you], in order that you would know that he is your God.
Boliaki mapa te mpe bomelaki vino te to masanga mosusu oyo elangwisaka. Nasalaki yango mpo boyeba ete Ngai nazali Yawe, Nzambe na bino.
7 “And when we came to this place, Sihon, the king who ruled in Heshbon [city], and Og, the king who ruled the Bashan [region], came [with their armies] to attack us, but we defeated them.
Tango bokomaki na esika oyo, Sikoni, mokonzi ya Eshiboni, mpe Ogi, mokonzi ya Bashani, bayaki kobundisa biso, kasi tolongaki bango.
8 We took/conquered their land and divided it among the tribes of Reuben and Gad, and half of the tribe of Manasseh.
Tozwaki mokili na bango mpe topesaki yango lokola libula epai ya bato ya libota ya Ribeni, ya Gadi mpe epai ya ndambo ya libota ya Manase.
9 “So faithfully keep all of this agreement, in order that you will be successful in everything that you do.
Bosalela malamu maloba ya boyokani oyo mpo ete bomona bolamu na makambo nyonso oyo bokosala.
10 Today all of us are standing in the presence of Yahweh our God. The leaders of all our tribes, our elders, our officials, all you Israeli men,
Bino nyonso, bokotelema lelo na miso ya Yawe, Nzambe na bino: bakambi na bino, bakonzi na bino ya masanga, bampaka na bino, bakonzi na bino ya basoda mpe bato mosusu kati na Isalaele
11 your wives, your children, and the foreigners who live among you and cut wood for you and carry water for you, are here.
elongo na bana na bino mpe basi na bino mpe bapaya oyo bazali kati na milako na bino mpo na kobukela bino bakoni mpe kotokelaka bino mayi.
12 [We are here] today to promise to keep this solemn agreement with Yahweh.
Botelemi awa mpo na kosala boyokani elongo na Yawe, Nzambe na bino; boyokani oyo Yawe, Nzambe na bino, azali kosala elongo na bino, na mokolo ya lelo, na kolapa ndayi esangana na bilakeli mabe,
13 [He is making this agreement with you] in order to confirm that you are his people, and that he is your God. This agreement is what he promised you, and which is what he vowed to give to your ancestors Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
mpo na koyebisa bino, na mokolo ya lelo, ete bozali bato na Ye, mpe Ye azali Nzambe na bino ndenge alakaki yango, na nzela ya ndayi, epai na bino mpe bakoko na bino —Abrayami, Izaki mpe Jakobi.
14 This agreement is not only with you.
Yawe azali kosala boyokani oyo, na nzela ya ndayi esangana na bilakeli mabe, elongo na bino kaka te,
15 He is making this agreement with us [who are here today] and also with our descendants who are not yet born.
kasi mpe elongo na ba-oyo bazali awa kati na biso, na mokolo ya lelo, liboso ya Yawe, Nzambe na biso, mpe elongo na ba-oyo bazali awa te elongo na biso.
16 “You remember [the things that our ancestors suffered] in Egypt, and how they traveled through the land that belonged to other nations [after they came out of Egypt].
Bino moko boyebi ndenge nini tozalaki na Ejipito mpe ndenge nini tokatisaki bamboka oyo tolekaki.
17 In those countries they saw those disgusting idols made of wood and stone and [decorated with] silver and gold.
Bomonaki kati na bango biloko na bango ya mbindo, banzambe ya bikeko basala na libaya, na libanga, na palata mpe na wolo.
18 So be sure that no man or woman or family or tribe that is here [today] turns away from Yahweh our God, to worship/serve the gods of those nations. Doing that would be like a root [of a plant that would grow] among you and bear poisonous and bitter fruit [MET].
Bosala keba ete, na mokolo ya lelo, mobali moko te, mwasi moko te, etuka moko te to libota moko te epengwa na nzela ya Yawe, Nzambe na biso, mpo na kokende kogumbamela banzambe wana ya bikeko. Bosala keba ete, kati na bino, ezala na mosisa moko te oyo ekobota ngenge ya bololo ya ndenge wana.
19 “Be sure that no one here today who hears this agreement thinks, ‘Everything will go well with me, even if I stubbornly do what I want to.’ If you are stubborn like that, the result will be that Yahweh will eventually get rid of all of you, both good people and evil people [MET].
Sima na koyoka maloba oyo ya bilakeli, tika ete moto moko te kati na bino amipambola na koloba: ‹ Nakolonga na makambo na ngai nyonso atako natamboli kolanda baposa ya motema na ngai moko. › Pamba te, moto oyo akosala mabe oyo akomema moto oyo ayebi likambo te na libunga na ye.
20 Yahweh will not forgive anyone who is [stubborn] like that. Instead, he will be extremely angry [DOU] with that person, and that person will experience all the curses that I have told you about, until Yahweh gets rid of that person and his family [IDM].
Yawe akolimbisa ye te; kanda makasi na Ye mpe zuwa na Ye ekokweyela moto wana. Bilakeli nyonso ya mabe oyo ekomama kati na buku oyo ekokweyela ye mpe Yawe akolongola kombo na ye kati na mokili.
21 From all the tribes of Israel, Yahweh will separate that individual. Yahweh will cause him to experience all the disasters that I have listed in the agreement that states the things that Yahweh will do to curse [those who disobey] the laws [that I have written] in this scroll/book.
Yawe akotia ye pembeni kati na bikolo nyonso ya Isalaele, akokaba ye na pasi ndenge ezali bilakeli mabe nyonso ya boyokani oyo ekomama kati na buku ya Mobeko.
22 “In the future, your descendants and people from other countries will see the disasters and the illnesses that Yahweh has caused to happen to you.
Milongo ya bana na bino oyo ekoya sima na bino mpe bapaya oyo bakowuta na mikili ya mosika bakomona bitumbu oyo Yawe akokweyisela mokili wana.
23 They will see that all your land has been ruined by burning sulfur and salt. Nothing will have been planted. Not even weeds will grow there. Your land will resemble Sodom and Gomorrah [cities], and Admah and Zeboiim [cities], which Yahweh destroyed when he was very angry [DOU] [with the people who lived there].
Mokili mobimba ekopela na moto ya sofolo mpe ekotonda na mungwa. Bakolona ata eloko moko te, eloko moko te ekobima mpe matiti ekobota te. Mokili yango ekobebisama ndenge Sodome mpe Gomore, Adima mpe Tseboyimi, ebebisamaki: bingumba oyo Yawe abebisaki na kanda na Ye ya makasi.
24 And the people from those other nations will ask, ‘Why did Yahweh do this to this land? Why was he very angry [with the people who lived here]?’
Bikolo nyonso ekotuna: ‹ Mpo na nini Yawe asali likambo ya boye na mokili oyo? Mpo na nini kanda makasi boye? ›
25 “Then other people will reply, ‘It is because they refused to keep the agreement that Yahweh, the God whom their ancestors [worshiped], had made with them when he brought them out of Egypt.
Mpe eyano ekozala: ‹ Esalemaki bongo, pamba te bato oyo babukaki boyokani oyo Yawe, Nzambe ya bakoko na bango, asalaki elongo na bango tango abimisaki bango na Ejipito.
26 Instead, they served/worshiped other gods that they had never worshiped before, gods that Yahweh had told them not to worship.
Bakendeki kosambela banzambe mosusu mpe bagumbamelaki bango, banzambe oyo bayebaki te mpe oyo Ye apekisaki bango.
27 So, Yahweh became very angry with the Israeli people in this land, and he caused them to experience all the disasters that their leader warned them about.
Yango wana, kanda ya Yawe epeli na mokili wana mpe amemi bilakeli mabe nyonso oyo ekomami na buku oyo, kati na mokili wana.
28 Yahweh became extremely angry [DOU] with them and took/yanked them [MET] out of their land and banished them into another land, and they are still there.’
Yawe apikolaki bango na mokili na bango na kanda na Ye ya makasi mpe na kotomboka na Ye ya makasi. Abwakaki bango na mokili mosusu ndenge ezali komonana lelo. ›
29 “[There are some] things that Yahweh our God has (kept secret/not revealed), but he has revealed his laws to us, and [he expects] us and our descendants to obey them forever.”
Makambo oyo ebombama ezali mpo na Yawe, Nzambe na biso; mpe makambo oyo emonisami ezali mpo na biso mpe bakitani na biso, mpo na tango nyonso, mpo ete tokoka kosalela maloba nyonso ya mibeko oyo. »
