Deuteronomy 17
1 Thou shalt not sacrifice to the LORD thy God [any] bullock, or sheep, in which is blemish, [or] any evil favoredness: for that [is] an abomination to the LORD thy God.
Okobonza te epai na Yawe, Nzambe na yo, ngombe to meme oyo ezali na mbeba to oyo ezali mabe, pamba te yango ezali likambo ya nkele liboso ya Yawe, Nzambe na yo.
2 If there shall be found among you, within any of thy gates which the LORD thy God giveth thee, man or woman that hath wrought wickedness in the sight of of the LORD thy God, in transgressing his covenant,
Soki kati na moko ya bingumba oyo Yawe, Nzambe na yo, apesi yo; emonani na mobali to mwasi oyo asali mabe na miso ya Yawe, Nzambe na yo, wana abuki boyokani elongo na Ye
3 And hath gone and served other gods, and worshiped them, either the sun, or moon, or any of the host of heaven, which I have not commanded;
mpe akei kosalela banzambe mosusu mpe kofukamela yango: moyi, sanza to minzoto nyonso ya likolo, nzokande natindaki bango bongo te;
4 And it shall be told thee, and thou hast heard [of it], and inquired diligently, and behold, [it is] true, [and] the thing certain, [that] such abomination is wrought in Israel:
bongo bamemeli yo sango ya ndenge wana, yekola yango malamu. Soki emonani solo ete likambo ya nkele esalemi kati na Isalaele;
5 Then shalt thou bring forth to thy gates that man or that woman, who have committed that wicked thing, [even] that man or that woman, and shalt stone them with stones, till they die.
kamata mobali to mwasi oyo asali likambo wana ya nkele, mema ye na ekuke ya engumba na yo mpe bamba ye mabanga kino akokufa.
6 At the mouth of two witnesses, or three witnesses, shall he that is worthy of death be put to death; [but] at the mouth of one witness he shall not be put to death.
Ezali kaka na litatoli ya bato mibale to misato nde okoki koboma moto, kasi na litatoli ya moto moko te.
7 The hands of the witnesses shall be first upon him to put him to death, and afterward the hands of all the people. So thou shalt remove the evil from among you.
Maboko ya motatoli nde ekozala maboko ya liboso ya koboma moto yango, mpe na sima, maboko ya bato nyonso. Na nzela wana nde okolongola mabe kati na yo.
8 If there shall arise a matter too hard for thee in judgment, between blood and blood, between plea and plea, and between stroke and stroke, [being] matters of controversy within thy gates: then shalt thou arise, and go up to the place which the LORD thy God shall choose;
Soki makambo oyo eleki yo makasi mpo na kosambisa ekomi na bisambiselo na yo, makambo lokola koboma bato, kowelana, kozokisa bato, mema yango na esika oyo Yawe, Nzambe na bino, akopona.
9 And thou shalt come to the priests the Levites, and to the judge that shall be in those days, and inquire; and they shall show thee the sentence of judgment:
Okokende epai ya Banganga-Nzambe oyo bazali Balevi mpe epai ya mosambisi oyo azali kosala mosala na tango wana. Okotalisa bango likambo yango mpe bango nde bakokata likambo.
10 And thou shalt do according to the sentence, which they of that place which the LORD shall choose shall show thee; and thou shalt observe to do according to all that they inform thee:
Bongo yo okosala kolanda mikano oyo bango bakopesa yo na esika oyo Yawe akopona. Sala keba ete osala makambo nyonso oyo bakotinda yo.
11 According to the sentence of the law which they shall teach thee, and according to the judgment which they shall tell thee, thou shalt do: thou shalt not decline from the sentence which they shall show thee, [to] the right hand, nor [to] the left.
Okosala kolanda mobeko oyo bakoteya yo mpe bikateli oyo bakopesa yo. Kokende libanda te ya bikateli oyo bakopesa yo.
12 And the man that will do presumptuously, and will not hearken to the priest that standeth to minister there before the LORD thy God, or to the judge, even that man shall die: and thou shalt remove the evil from Israel.
Moto oyo akosala lolendo mpe akoboya kotosa Nganga-Nzambe to mosambisi oyo atelemi mpo kosala mosala na esika oyo Yawe aponaki mpo na ye, basengeli koboma ye. Na nzela wana nde okolongola mabe kati na Isalaele.
13 And all the people shall hear, and fear, and do no more presumptuously.
Bato nyonso bakoyoka likambo yango, bakokoma na somo mpe bakosala lisusu lolendo te.
14 When thou art come into the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, and shalt possess it, and shalt dwell in it, and shalt say, I will set a king over me, like as all the nations that [are] about me;
Tango okokota na mokili oyo Yawe, Nzambe na yo, akopesa yo; tango okozwa yango mpe okovanda kati na yango, tango mosusu okoki koloba: « Tika ete toluka mokonzi oyo akokonza biso ndenge ezali na bikolo nyonso oyo ezingeli biso, »
15 Thou shalt in any wise set [him] king over thee whom the LORD thy God shall choose: [one] from among thy brethren shalt thou set king over thee: thou mayest not set a stranger over thee, who [is] not thy brother.
sala keba ete opona kaka mokonzi oyo Yawe, Nzambe na yo, akopona. Asengeli kowuta kati na bandeko na bino. Kotia mopaya te oyo azali ndeko na bino te kati na Isalaele mpo na kokonza bino.
16 But he shall not multiply horses to himself, nor cause the people to return to Egypt, to the end that he should multiply horses: forasmuch as the LORD hath said to you, ye shall henceforth return no more that way.
Nzokande mokonzi yango asengeli te kozala na bampunda ebele mpo na ye moko mpe kozongisa bato na Ejipito mpo na kobakisa motango ya bampunda, pamba te Yawe alobaki na bino: « Botikala kozonga lisusu te na nzela oyo. »
17 Neither shall he multiply wives to himself, that his heart may turn not away: neither shall he greatly accumulate to himself silver and gold.
Asengeli te kozala na basi ebele noki te motema na ye ekopengwa. Asengeli te kozala na palata mpe wolo ebele koleka.
18 And it shall be when he sitteth upon the throne of his kingdom, that he shall write him a copy of this law in a book out of [that which is] before the priests the Levites.
Tango mokonzi yango akovanda na kiti na ye ya bokonzi, akozwa buku ya Mobeko epai ya Banganga-Nzambe oyo bazali Balevi mpe akokoma makambo oyo ezali na buku yango mpo na ye moko.
19 And it shall be with him, and he shall read in it all the days of his life: that he may learn to fear the LORD his God, to keep all the words of this law and these statutes, to do them:
Akozala na buku yango tango nyonso mpe akotanga yango mikolo nyonso ya bomoi na ye mpo ete ayekola kokumisa Yawe, Nzambe na ye, mpe asalela malamu maloba nyonso ya Mobeko oyo mpe bikateli na yango;
20 That his heart may not be lifted above his brethren, and that he may not turn aside from the commandment [to] the right hand or [to] the left: to the end that he may prolong [his] days in his kingdom, he, and his children, in the midst of Israel.
mpo ete atombola te na lolendo liboso ya bandeko na ye to abima te libanda ya mibeko na yango. Boye, ye elongo na bakitani na ye bakowumela tango molayi na bokonzi kati na Isalaele.
