Deuteronomy 26
1 When you have come into the land that Yahweh your God is giving you as an inheritance, and when you possess it and live in it,
Tango bokokota na mokili oyo Yawe, Nzambe na bino, akopesa bino lokola libula, tango bokozwa yango mpe bokovanda kuna,
2 then you must take some of the first of all the harvest of the land that you have brought in from the land that Yahweh your God is giving you. You must put it in a basket and go to the place that Yahweh your God will choose as his sanctuary.
moko na moko kati na bino akozwa ndambo ya bambuma ya liboso ya biloko nyonso oyo akozwa na mabele ya mokili oyo Yawe, Nzambe na bino, akopesa bino; akotia yango na kitunga mpe akokende na esika oyo Yawe, Nzambe na bino, akopona mpo na kotia Kombo na Ye.
3 You must go to the priest who will be serving in those days and say to him, 'I acknowledge today to Yahweh your God that I have come to the land that Yahweh swore to our ancestors to give us.'
Akoloba na Nganga-Nzambe oyo akozala na mosala na tango wana: « Natatoli lelo liboso ya Yawe, Nzambe na yo, ete nakomi na mokili oyo Yawe alakaki kopesa na bakoko na biso na nzela ya ndayi. »
4 The priest must take the basket out of your hand and set it down before the altar of Yahweh your God.
Nganga-Nzambe akozwa kitunga na maboko na ye mpe akokitisa yango liboso ya etumbelo ya Yawe, Nzambe na bino.
5 You must say before Yahweh your God, 'My ancestor was a wandering Aramean. He went down into Egypt and stayed there, and his people were few in number. There he became a great, mighty, and populous nation.
Bongo okoloba liboso ya Yawe, Nzambe na yo: « Koko na ngai azalaki moto ya Arami oyo azalaki koyengayenga; akendeki na Ejipito na bato moke, awumelaki kuna mpe akomaki ekolo monene, ekolo ya nguya mpe ya bato ebele.
6 The Egyptians treated us badly and afflicted us. They made us do the work of slaves.
Kasi bato ya Ejipito banyokolaki biso, bayokisaki biso pasi mpe bapesaki biso misala makasi.
7 We cried out to Yahweh, the God of our fathers, and he heard our voice and saw our affliction, our labor, and our oppression.
Boye togangaki epai na Yawe, Nzambe ya bakoko na biso. Wana ayokaki mingongo na biso, amonaki mawa, pasi mpe minyoko na biso;
8 Yahweh brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand, with an outstretched arm, with great fearsomeness, with signs, and with wonders;
Yawe abimisaki biso na Ejipito na somo makasi, na bilembo minene mpe na bikamwa, na nzela ya loboko na Ye ya nguya mpe esembolama.
9 and he has brought us to this place and has given us this land, a land that flows with milk and honey.
Amemaki biso na esika oyo mpe apesaki biso mokili oyo, mokili oyo ezali kobimisa miliki mpe mafuta ya nzoyi.
10 Now look, I have brought the first of the harvest of the land that you, Yahweh, have given me.' You must set it down before Yahweh your God and worship before him;
Sik’oyo oh Yawe, tala, namemi bambuma ya liboso ya mabele oyo opesaki ngai. » Sima na yango, okotia kitunga liboso ya Yawe, Nzambe na yo, mpe okogumbama liboso na Ye.
11 and you must rejoice in all the good that Yahweh your God has done for you, for your house—you, and the Levite, and the foreigner who is among you.
Boye, na biloko nyonso ya malamu oyo Yawe, Nzambe na yo, akopesa yo mpe bandeko na yo; okosepela na yango elongo na Balevi mpe bapaya oyo bazali kati na bino.
12 When you have finished giving all the tithe of your harvest in the third year, that is, the year of tithing, then you must give it to the Levite, to the foreigner, to the fatherless, and to the widow, so that they may eat within your city gates and be filled.
Na mobu nyonso ya misato, mobu ya eteni ya zomi, tango okosilisa kotia pembeni eteni ya zomi ya biloko nyonso oyo okozwa, okopesa yango epai ya Balevi, epai ya bapaya, epai ya bana bitike mpe epai ya basi bakufisa mibali; mpo ete balia yango na bingumba na yo mpe batonda.
13 You must say before Yahweh your God, 'I have brought out of my house the things that belong to Yahweh, and have given them to the Levite, to the foreigner, to the fatherless, and to the widow, according to all your commandments that you have given me. I have not transgressed any of your commandments, neither have I forgotten them.
Bongo okotatola maloba oyo epai na Yawe, Nzambe na yo: « Nalongolaki kati na ndako na ngai eteni ya bule mpe napesi yango epai ya Balevi, bapaya, bana bitike mpe basi bakufisa mibali, kolanda makambo nyonso oyo otindaki ngai. Napengwaki te na mitindo na Yo mpe nabosanaki yango te.
14 I have not eaten any of it in my mourning, nor have I put it somewhere else when I was impure, nor have I given any of it in honor of the dead. I have listened to the voice of Yahweh my God; I have obeyed everything you have commanded me to do.
Naliaki ata eteni moko te ya bule tango nazalaki na matanga, nalongolaki eloko moko te kati na yango tango nazalaki mbindo mpe nabonzaki eloko moko te kati na yango epai ya bakufi. Natosaki Yawe, Nzambe na ngai, mpe nasalaki makambo nyonso oyo otindaki ngai.
15 Look down from the holy place where you live, from heaven, and bless your people Israel, and the land that you have given us, as you had sworn to our fathers, a land flowing with milk and honey.'
Tala wuta likolo, esika na Yo ya bule epai wapi ovandaka, mpe pambola Isalaele, bato na Yo, mpe mokili oyo opesaki biso ndenge olakaki yango epai ya bakoko na biso na nzela ya ndayi, mokili oyo ezali kobimisa miliki mpe mafuta ya nzoyi. »
16 Today Yahweh your God is commanding you to obey these statutes and decrees; you will therefore keep them and do them with all your heart and with all your soul.
Lelo, Yawe, Nzambe na yo, apesi yo mitindo ete osalela malamu bikateli mpe mibeko oyo; batela yango malamu na motema na yo mobimba mpe na molimo na yo mobimba.
17 You have declared today that Yahweh is your God, and that you will walk in his ways and keep his statutes, his commandments, and his decrees, and that you will listen to his voice.
Lelo, ondimi ete Yawe azali Nzambe na yo; ndenge opesaki elaka ete okotosa Ye, okobatela mibeko na Ye nyonso mpe okosala makambo nyonso oyo Ye akotinda yo.
18 Today Yahweh has declared that you are a people who are his own possession, as he had promised you, and that you are to keep all his commandments,
Lelo mpe, Yawe andimi ete ozala ekolo na Ye penza, ndenge alakaki yo mpe ndenge apesaki yo mitindo ete otosa mibeko na Ye nyonso.
19 and he will set you high above all the other nations that he has made, and you will receive praise, fame, and honor. You will be a people that is set apart to Yahweh your God, just as he said.”
Na bongo, Yawe, Nzambe na yo, akokomisa yo monene koleka bikolo nyonso oyo Ye akela; akopesa yo lokumu, nkembo na Kombo na Ye. Okozala libota ya bule mpo na Yawe, Nzambe na yo, ndenge alakaki yango.
