Deuteronomy 1
1 These are the words that Moses spoke to all Israel beyond the Jordan in the wilderness, in the plain of the Jordan River valley over against Suph, between Paran, Tophel, Laban, Hazeroth, and Dizahab.
Tala maloba oyo Moyize ayebisaki bana nyonso ya Isalaele na ngambo ya este ya Yordani kati na esobe, kati na etando Araba oyo etalana na Sufi, kati ya Parani mpe Tofeli, kati ya Labani, Atseroti mpe Di-Zaabi.
2 It is eleven days' journey from Horeb by the way of Mount Seir to Kadesh Barnea.
Esengaka mikolo zomi na moko ya mobembo wuta na Orebi kino na Kadeshi-Barinea, na nzela ya ngomba Seiri.
3 It happened in the fortieth year, in the eleventh month, on the first day of the month, that Moses spoke to the people of Israel, telling them all that Yahweh commanded him concerning them.
Na mokolo ya liboso ya sanza ya zomi na moko, na mobu ya minei, Moyize alobaki na bana ya Isalaele makambo nyonso oyo Yawe atindaki ye na tina na bango.
4 This was after Yahweh had attacked Sihon the king of the Amorites, who lived in Heshbon, and Og the king of Bashan, who lived in Ashtaroth at Edrei.
Makambo yango esalemaki sima na Moyize kolonga Sikoni, mokonzi ya bato ya Amori, oyo azalaki koyangela wuta na Eshiboni, mpe sima na ye kolonga Ogi, mokonzi ya Bashani, oyo azalaki kovanda na Ashitaroti mpe na Edreyi.
5 Beyond the Jordan, in the land of Moab, Moses began to announce these instructions, saying,
Ezalaki na ngambo ya este ya Yordani, na mokili ya Moabi, nde Moyize alimbolaki mobeko oyo. Alobaki na bango:
6 “Yahweh our God spoke to us at Horeb, saying, 'You have lived long enough in this hill country.
« Yawe, Nzambe na biso, alobaki na biso, na ngomba Orebi: ‹ Bowumeli mpe mingi na ngomba oyo.
7 Turn and take your journey, and go to the hill country of the Amorites and to all the places near there in the plain of the Jordan River valley, in the hill country, in the lowland, in the Negev, and by the seashore—the land of the Canaanites, and in Lebanon as far as the great river, the Euphrates.
Bolongola molako mpe bokende kino na etuka ya bangomba ya bato ya Amori; bokende na bamboka nyonso oyo ezali pene ya Araba, na bangomba, na mboka ya se, na Negevi mpe pembeni-pembeni ya mayi monene, kati na mokili ya bato ya Kanana mpe na mokili ya Libani kino na Efrate, ebale monene.
8 Look, I have set the land before you; go in and possess the land that Yahweh swore to your fathers—to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob—to give to them and to their descendants after them.'
Tala, napesi bino mokili oyo. Bokota mpe bokamata mokili oyo Yawe alakaki kopesa, na nzela ya ndayi, epai ya bakoko na bino —Abrayami, Izaki, Jakobi— mpe bakitani na bango. › »
9 I spoke to you at that time, saying, 'I am not able to carry you myself alone.
Na tango wana, nalobaki na bino: — Ngai moko nakokoka te kokamba bino.
10 Yahweh your God has multiplied you, and, look, you are today as the multitude of the stars of heaven.
Yawe, Nzambe na bino, akomisi bino ebele koleka mpe tala lelo motango na bino ekomi lokola minzoto na likolo.
11 May Yahweh, the God of your fathers, make you a thousand times as many as you are, and bless you, as he has promised you!
Tika ete Yawe, Nzambe ya bakoko na bino, akomisa bino ebele mbala nkoto moko mpe apambola bino ndenge alakaki!
12 But how can I myself alone carry your loads, your burdens, and your disputes?
Nakokoka ndenge nini komema ngai moko makambo na bino, mikumba na bino, mpe kowelana na bino?
13 Take wise men, understanding men, and men of good repute from each tribe, and I will make them heads over you.'
Bopona bato ya bwanya, ya mayele mpe ya lokumu kati na moko na moko ya mabota na bino, mpe ngai nakotia bango bakambi na bino.
14 You answered me and said, 'The thing that you have spoken is good for us to do.'
Bozongiselaki ngai: — Makambo oyo osili koyebisa biso ezali malamu.
15 So I took the heads of your tribes, wise men, and men of good repute, and made them heads over you, captains of thousands, captains of hundreds, captains of fifties, captains of tens, and officers, tribe by tribe.
Boye, nazwaki bakambi kati na mabota na bino, bato ya lokumu mpe ya bwanya, bongo nakomisaki bango bakambi ya bankoto, ya bankama, ya batuku mitano mpe ya bazomi, mpe bakalaka mpo na mabota na bino.
16 I commanded your judges at that time, saying, 'Hear the disputes between your brothers, and judge righteously between a man and his brother, and the foreigner who is with him.
Na tango wana, napesaki bakambi na bino mokumba oyo: « Boyoka kowelana oyo ezali kati na bandeko na bino mpe bokata makambo na bosembo; ezala kowelana kati ya bana ya Isalaele bango na bango to kati ya mwana ya Isalaele mpe mopaya.
17 You will not show partiality to anyone in a dispute; you will hear the small and the great alike. You will not be afraid of the face of man, for the judgment is God's. The dispute that is too hard for you, you will bring to me, and I will hear it.'
Bopona bilongi te na tango ya kosambisa, boyoka bato nyonso: azala moto pamba to moto monene. Bobanga moto te, pamba te kosambisa ezali likambo ya Nzambe. Bomemela ngai likambo oyo eleki bino na makasi mpe ngai nakoyoka yango. »
18 I commanded you at that time all the things that you should do.
Mpe na tango wana, nayebisaki bino makambo nyonso oyo bosengeli kosala.
19 We journeyed away from Horeb and went through all that great and terrible wilderness that you saw, on our way to the hill country of the Amorites, as Yahweh our God had commanded us; and we came to Kadesh Barnea.
Boye, ndenge Yawe, Nzambe na biso, atindaki biso, tolongwaki na ngomba Orebi mpe tokendeki na etuka ya bangomba ya bato ya Amori. Tokatisaki esobe monene mpe ya somo oyo bomonaki mpe tokomaki na Kadeshi-Barinea.
20 I said to you, 'You have come to the hill country of the Amorites, which Yahweh our God is giving to us.
Nalobaki na bino: — Bosili kokoma na etuka ya bangomba ya bato ya Amori, etuka oyo Yawe, Nzambe na biso, apesi biso.
21 Look, Yahweh your God has set the land before you; go up, take possession, as Yahweh, the God of your fathers, has spoken to you; do not be afraid, neither be discouraged.'
Botala, Yawe, Nzambe na bino, apesi bino mokili; bokende mpe bokamata yango ndenge Yawe, Nzambe ya bakoko na bino, alobaki na bino. Bobanga te mpe bozala na mpiko.
22 Every one of you came to me and said, 'Let us send men ahead of us, so that they may search out the land for us, and bring us word about the way by which we should attack, and about the cities to which we will come.'
Bato nyonso kati na bino bayaki epai na ngai mpe balobaki: — Tika ete totinda liboso na biso bato mpo na konongela biso mokili mpe komemela biso sango ya nzela oyo tokoki kolanda mpe ya bingumba epai wapi tokokende.
23 The advice pleased me well; I took twelve men of you, one man for every tribe.
Likanisi yango emonanaki malamu na miso na ngai, yango wana naponaki kati na bino mibali zomi na mibale, mobali moko mpo na libota moko.
24 They turned and went up into the hill country, came to the Valley of Eshkol, and scouted it.
Balongwaki mpe bakendeki, bongo bamataki kino na etuka ya bangomba mpe bakomaki na lubwaku ya Eshikoli oyo banongaki.
25 They took some of the produce of the land in their hands and brought it down to us. They also brought us word and said, 'It is a good land that Yahweh our God is giving to us.'
Bakamataki na maboko na bango ndambo ya bambuma ya mokili wana mpe bamemelaki biso yango. Tala sango oyo bapesaki biso: « Mboka oyo Yawe, Nzambe na biso, apesi biso ezali malamu. »
26 Yet you refused to attack, but rebelled against the commandment of Yahweh your God.
Kasi boboyaki komata, botombokelaki etinda ya Yawe, Nzambe na bino.
27 You complained in your tents and said, “It is because Yahweh hated us that he has brought us out of the land of Egypt, to give us into the hand of the Amorites to destroy us.
Bongo boyimaki-yimaki kati na bandako na bino mpe bolobaki: « Yawe alingaka biso te, yango wana abimisaki biso na Ejipito mpo na kokaba biso na maboko ya bato ya Amori mpo ete bango baboma biso.
28 Where can we go now? Our brothers have made our heart to melt, saying, 'Those people are bigger and taller than we are; their cities are large and are fortified up to the heavens; moreover, we have seen the sons of the Anakim there.'”
Boni, tokende kaka kuna? Bandeko na biso basili kolembisa biso nzoto. Balobi: ‹ Bato yango bazali makasi mpe bingambe koleka biso, bingumba na bango ezali minene mpe bamir na yango ekenda kino na likolo. Tomonaki lisusu bana ya Anaki kuna. › »
29 Then I said to you, 'Do not be terrified, neither be afraid of them.
Nalobaki na bino: « Bozala na somo te mpe bobanga bango te,
30 Yahweh your God, who goes before you, he will fight for you, like everything that he did for you in Egypt before your eyes,
pamba te Yawe, Nzambe na bino, azali kotambola liboso na bino mpe akobunda mpo na bino ndenge asalaki na Ejipito, na miso ya bato nyonso.
31 and also in the wilderness, where you have seen how Yahweh your God carried you, as a man carries his son, everywhere you went until you came to this place.'
Mpe na esobe, na banzela nyonso oyo botambolaki kino bokoma na esika oyo, bomonaki ndenge nini Yawe, Nzambe na bino, amemaki bino ndenge tata amemaka mwana na ye. »
32 Yet in spite of this word you did not believe Yahweh your God,
Atako bongo, botiaki elikya te epai na Yawe, Nzambe na bino,
33 who went before you on the way to find a place for you to make camp, in fire by night and in a cloud by day.
oyo azalaki kotambola liboso na bino na nzela mpo na kolukela bino esika ya kotonga molako. Na butu, azalaki lokola likonzi ya moto; mpe na moyi, azalaki lokola likonzi ya lipata; mpo na kolakisa bino nzela oyo bosengelaki kotambola.
34 Yahweh heard the sound of your words and was angry; he swore and said,
Tango Yawe ayokaki nyonso oyo bozalaki koloba, asilikaki mpe alapaki ndayi:
35 'Surely not one of these men of this evil generation will see the good land that I swore to give to your ancestors,
« Moto moko te kati na molongo oyo ya bato mabe akoki komona mokili ya kitoko oyo nalakaki kopesa na bakoko na bango na nzela ya ndayi,
36 save Caleb son of Jephunneh; he will see it. To him I will give the land that he has stepped on, and to his children, because he has wholly followed Yahweh.'
longola kaka Kalebi, mwana mobali ya Yefune; ye akomona yango, mpe nakopesa na ye mpe na bakitani na ye, mokili oyo lokolo na ye enyataki, pamba te asalelaki Ngai Yawe na motema na ye mobimba. »
37 Also Yahweh was angry with me because of you, saying, 'You also will not go in there;
Likolo na bino, Yawe asilikelaki mpe ngai; alobaki: « Yo mpe lisusu okokota te kati na mokili yango.
38 Joshua son of Nun, who stands before you, he will go in there; encourage him, for he will lead Israel to inherit it.
Kasi mosungi na yo Jozue, mwana mobali ya Nuni, ye akokota kati na yango. Lendisa ye, pamba te ye nde akokamba Isalaele mpo na kozwa mokili yango lokola libula.
39 Moreover, your little children, the ones you said would be victims, who today have no knowledge of good or evil—they will go in there. To them I will give it, and they will possess it.
Bongo, bana na bino oyo bolobaki ete bakomema bango na bowumbu, bana na bino oyo bayebi nanu te kokesenisa malamu mpe mabe, bango nde bakokota na mokili yango. Nakopesa bango mokili yango, mpe bakokamata yango.
40 But as for you, turn and take your journey into the wilderness along the way to the Sea of Reeds.'
Mpo na bino, bobaluka mpe bokende na esobe, na nzela ya ebale monene ya Barozo. »
41 Then you answered and said to me, 'We have sinned against Yahweh; we will go up and fight, and we will follow all that Yahweh our God has commanded us to do.' Every man among you put on his weapons of war, and you were ready to attack the hill country.
Bozongiselaki ngai: « Tosali masumu epai na Yawe. Tokokende mpe tokobunda ndenge Yawe, Nzambe na biso, atindaki biso. » Boye, moto nyonso kati na bino alataki bibundeli na ye, mpe bokanisaki ete ezali likambo ya pasi te komata na etuka ya bangomba.
42 Yahweh said to me, 'Say to them, “Do not attack and do not fight, for I will not be with you, and you will be defeated by your enemies.'
Kasi Yawe alobaki na ngai: « Yebisa bango ete bamata te mpe babunda te, pamba te nakozala elongo na bango te; banguna na bango bakolonga bango. »
43 I spoke to you in this way, but you did not listen. You rebelled against the commandment of Yahweh; you were arrogant and attacked the hill country.
Nzokande nayebisaki bino, kasi boyokaki kaka te; botombokelaki mitindo ya Yawe; mpe, na lolendo na bino, bomataki na etuka ya bangomba.
44 But the Amorites, who lived in that hill country, came out against you and chased you like bees, and struck you down in Seir, as far as Hormah.
Boye, bato ya Amori oyo bavandaka na bangomba yango bakitelaki bino mpe babundisaki bino, babenganaki bino lokola liboke ya banzoyi mpe balongaki bino longwa na Seiri kino na Orima.
45 You returned and wept before Yahweh; but Yahweh did not listen to your voice, nor did he pay attention to you.
Bozongaki mpe bolelaki liboso ya Yawe, kasi aboyaki koyoka kolela na bino, akangaki matoyi na Ye.
46 So you stayed in Kadesh many days, all the days that you stayed there.
Bongo bovandaki na Kadeshi mikolo ebele.
