Deuteronomy 12
1 These are the statutes and the decrees that you will keep in the land that Yahweh, the God of your fathers, has given you to possess, all the days that you live on the earth.
Tala bikateli mpe mibeko oyo bosengeli kosalela malamu kati na mokili oyo Yawe, Nzambe ya bakoko na bino, azali kopesa bino mpo na kozwa, na tango nyonso oyo bokowumela kati na mokili yango.
2 You will surely destroy all the places where the nations that you will dispossess worshiped their gods, on the high mountains, on the hills, and under every green tree.
Bobebisa bisika nyonso oyo bato ya bikolo oyo bozali kobengana bazalaki kogumbamela banzambe na bango na likolo ya bangomba ya milayi mpe ya mikuse mpe na se ya banzete nyonso oyo ezali na makasa ya mobesu.
3 You must break down their altars, dash in pieces their stone pillars, and burn their Asherah poles. You must cut down the carved figures of their gods and destroy their name out of that place.
Bokweyisa bitumbelo na bango, bobuka mabanga na bango ya bule, botumba na moto makonzi na bango ya bule, bopanza na biteni bikeko ya banzambe na bango mpe bolimwisa bakombo na bango na bisika wana.
4 You will not worship Yahweh your God like that.
Nzokande mpo na bino, bosengeli te kogumbamela Yawe, Nzambe na bino, na lolenge na bango.
5 But to the place that Yahweh your God will choose out of all your tribes to put his name, that will be the place where he lives, and it is there that you will go.
Bosengeli koluka esika oyo Yawe, Nzambe na bino, akopona kati na bikolo na bino nyonso mpo na kotia Kombo na Ye mpe mpo na kokomisa yango esika na Ye. Ezali na esika yango kaka nde bosengeli kokende.
6 It is there that you will bring your burnt offerings, your sacrifices, your tithes, and the offerings presented by your hand, your offerings for vows, your freewill offerings, and the firstborn of your herds and flocks.
Ezali kuna nde bokomema bambeka na bino ya kotumba, makabo na bino, eteni na bino ya zomi, bakado ya ndenge na ndenge, makabo mpo na kokokisa ndayi, makabo oyo bokokata kopesa wuta na mokano ya mitema na bino moko mpe bana mibali ya liboso ya bangombe, ya bameme mpe ya bantaba na bino.
7 It is there that you will eat before Yahweh your God and rejoice about everything that you have put your hand to, you and your households, where Yahweh your God has blessed you.
Kaka na esika yango, na miso ya Yawe, Nzambe na bino, bino mpe mabota na bino bokolia mpe bokosepela na eloko nyonso oyo bokosala na maboko na bino; pamba te Yawe, Nzambe na bino, apamboli bino.
8 You will not do all the things that we are doing here today; now everyone is doing whatever is right in his own eyes;
Bosengeli lisusu te kosala ndenge tozali kosala awa, na mokolo ya lelo: moto nyonso azali kosala ndenge alingi.
9 for you have not yet come to the rest, to the inheritance that Yahweh your God is giving you.
Pamba te kino lelo, bokoti nanu te na esika ya bopemi mpe bozwi nanu te libula oyo Yawe, Nzambe na bino, azali kopesa bino.
10 But when you go over the Jordan and live in the land that Yahweh your God is causing you to inherit, and he will give you rest from all your enemies round about, so that you live in safety.
Kasi bokokatisa Yordani mpe bokovanda na mokili oyo Yawe, Nzambe na bino, azali kopesa bino lokola libula. Akopesa bino bopemi na kokangolaka bino na maboko ya banguna na bino nyonso oyo bazingeli bino, mpe bokovanda na kimia.
11 Then to the place where Yahweh your God will choose to cause his name to live there—there you will bring everything I command you: your burnt offerings, your sacrifices, your tithes, and the offerings presented by your hand, and all your choice offerings for vows that you will vow to Yahweh.
Boye, na esika oyo Yawe, Nzambe na bino, akopona mpo na kotia Kombo na Ye, bokomema eloko nyonso oyo natindi bino: bambeka na bino ya kotumba, makabo na bino, biteni na bino ya zomi, bakado na bino ya ndenge na ndenge mpe biloko nyonso ya kitoko oyo bozali na yango, oyo bolapaki ndayi mpo na kopesa epai na Yawe.
12 You will rejoice before Yahweh your God—you, your sons, your daughters, your male servants, your female servants, and the Levites who are within your gate, because he has no portion or inheritance among you.
Kuna kaka nde bokosepela liboso ya Yawe, Nzambe na bino; bino, bana na bino ya mibali mpe ya basi, bawumbu na bino ya mibali, basi bawumbu na bino, mpe Balevi oyo bazali kati na bingumba na bino, pamba te bazangi eteni ya mabele to libula kati na bino.
13 Pay attention to yourself that you do not offer your burnt offerings at every place that you see;
Bosala keba ete bobonza te bambeka na bino ya kotumba na bisika nyonso oyo bokomona.
14 but it is at the place that Yahweh will choose among one of your tribes that you will offer your burnt offerings, and there you will do everything that I command you.
Bokobonza bambeka yango kaka na esika oyo Yawe akopona kati na moko ya bikolo na bino, mpe kuna kaka nde bokosala makambo nyonso oyo natindi bino.
15 However, you may kill and eat animals within all your gates, as you wish, receiving the blessing of Yahweh your God for all that he has given you; the unclean and the clean persons both may eat of it, animals such as the gazelle and the deer.
Nzokande, bokoki kokata kingo ya bibwele na bino mpe kolia misuni na yango ndenge bolingi kati na bingumba na bino nyonso, ezala mboloko to pambi, kolanda mapamboli oyo Yawe, Nzambe na bino, akopesa bino. Moto ya mbindo to moto ya peto akoki na ye kolia yango.
16 But you will not eat the blood; you will pour it out on the earth like water.
Kasi bosengeli te kolia makila; bosopa yango lokola mayi na mabele.
17 You may not eat within your gates from the tithe of your grain, your new wine, your oil, or the firstborn of your herd or flock; and you may not eat any of the meat you sacrifice along with any of your vows that you make, nor that of your freewill offerings, nor that of the offering you present with your hand.
Bosengeli te kolia kati na bingumba na bino eteni ya zomi ya bambuma na bino, ya vino na bino ya sika, ya mafuta na bino, bana ya liboso ya bangombe na bino, ya bameme na bino, ya bantaba na bino to makabo nyonso oyo bopesaki mpo na kokokisa ndayi, makabo oyo bokataki kopesa wuta na mokano ya mitema na bino moko to makabo ya ndenge na ndenge.
18 Instead, you will eat them before Yahweh your God in the place that Yahweh your God will choose—you, your son, your daughter, your male servant, your female servant, and the Levite who is within your gates; you will rejoice before Yahweh your God about everything to which you put your hand.
Kasi bokolia yango kaka na miso ya Yawe, Nzambe na bino, na esika oyo Yawe Nzambe akopona: bino, bana na bino ya mibali mpe ya basi, bawumbu na bino ya mibali, basi bawumbu na bino, Balevi oyo bazali kati na bingumba na bino mpe bokosepela liboso ya Yawe, Nzambe na bino, na mosala nyonso oyo maboko na bino ekosala.
19 Pay attention to yourself so that you do not forsake the Levite as long as you live on your land.
Tango nyonso bokovanda kati na mokili na bino, bosala keba ete bobosana Balevi te.
20 When Yahweh your God enlarges your borders, as he has promised you, and you say, 'I will eat flesh,' because of your desire to eat meat, you may eat meat, as your soul desires.
Tango Yawe, Nzambe na bino, akokomisa mokili na bino monene ndenge alakaki bino mpe tango bokozala na posa ya kolia mosuni mpe bokoloba: « Nazali na posa ya kolia mosuni, » bokolia yango ndenge bolingi.
21 If the place that Yahweh your God chooses to put his name is too far from you, then you will kill some of your herd and your flock that Yahweh has given you, as I have commanded you; you may eat within your gates, as your soul desires.
Soki esika oyo Yawe, Nzambe na bino, aponi mpo na kotia Kombo na Ye ezali mosika mingi mpo na bino, wana bokokata kingo ya bangombe na bino, ya bantaba na bino, ya bameme na bino, oyo Yawe apesaki bino ndenge natindaki bino mpe bokoki kolia yango ndenge bolingi kati na bingumba na bino.
22 Like the gazelle and the deer are eaten, so you will eat of it; the unclean and the clean persons may eat of it alike.
Bokolia yango ndenge baliaka pambi to mboloko; moto nyonso, azala mbindo to peto, akoki na ye kolia yango.
23 Only be sure that you do not consume the blood, for the blood is the life; you will not eat the life with the meat.
Kasi bosala keba ete bolia makila te, pamba te makila ezali bomoi, mpe bosengeli te kolia bomoi elongo na nyama.
24 You will not eat it; you will pour it out on the earth like water.
Bosengeli te kolia makila; kasi bosopa yango na mabele ndenge basopaka mayi.
25 You will not eat it, so that it may go well with you, and with your children after you, when you will do what is right in the eyes of Yahweh.
Bolia yango te mpo ete bomona bolamu, bino mpe bana na bino; na nzela wana nde bokosala oyo ezali alima na miso ya Yawe.
26 But the things that belong to Yahweh that you have and the offerings for your vows—you will take these and go to the place that Yahweh chooses.
Kasi bokozwa biloko na bino ya bule mpe biloko nyonso oyo bolapaki ndayi mpo na kopesa, mpe bokokende na esika oyo Yawe akopona.
27 There you will offer your burnt offerings, the meat and the blood, on the altar of Yahweh your God; the blood of your sacrifices will be poured out on the altar of Yahweh your God, and you will eat the flesh.
Bokotumba mosuni mpe makila ya bambeka na bino ya kotumba na etumbelo ya Yawe, Nzambe na bino. Bokosopa makila ya bambeka na bino mosusu na etumbelo ya Yawe, Nzambe na bino; kasi mpo na mosuni na yango, bokoki na bino kolia yango.
28 Observe and listen to all these words that I command you, that it may go well with you and with your children after you forever, when you do what is good and right in the eyes of Yahweh your God.
Bosala keba mpo na kotosa mibeko oyo nazali kopesa bino mpo ete bomona bolamu tango nyonso, bino mpe bana na bino, pamba te na nzela wana nde bokosala oyo ezali malamu mpe alima na miso ya Yawe, Nzambe na bino.
29 When Yahweh your God cuts off the nations from before you, when you go in to dispossess them, and you dispossess them, and live in their land,
Yawe, Nzambe na bino, akolimwisa na liboso na bino bikolo oyo bozali kokende kobundisa mpe kobotola. Kasi tango bokobengana bango mpe bokovanda na bamboka na bango,
30 pay attention to yourself that you are not trapped into following them, after they are destroyed from before you—trapped into investigating their gods, into asking, 'How do these nations worship their gods? I will do the same.'
mpe tango bokosilisa kobebisa bango liboso na bino, bosala keba ete bokweya te na motambo na bango ya kosalela banzambe na bango mpe na motambo ya koluka koyeba na komitunaka: « Ndenge nini bikolo oyo esalelaka banzambe na bango? Tokosala ndenge moko mpe kati na bingumba na biso. »
31 You must not worship Yahweh your God in that way, for everything that is an abomination to Yahweh, things that he hates—they have done these with their gods; they even burn their sons and their daughters in fire for their gods.
Bokoki te kogumbamela Yawe, Nzambe na bino, ndenge bango basalaka. Pamba te Yawe amonaka yango lokola likambo ya nkele mpe ayinaka makambo oyo basalaki mpo na banzambe na bango: bazalaki ata kotumbaka na moto bana na bango ya mibali mpe ya basi lokola mbeka mpo na banzambe na bango.
32 Whatever I command you, observe it. Do not add to it or take away from it.
Tala, bosala nyonso oyo natindi bino, bobakisa to bolongola ata eloko moko te.
