Deuteronomy 18
1 The priests and the Levites—all the tribe of Levi—shall have no portion nor inheritance with Israel. They shall eat the offerings of Yahweh made by fire and his portion.
Banganga-Nzambe oyo bazali Balevi, elongo na libota mobimba ya Balevi basengeli te kozwa eteni ya mabele to libula kati na Isalaele; basengeli kobika kaka na makabo bazikisa na moto mpo na Yawe mpe na libula na Ye, pamba te yango nde ezali libula na bango.
2 They shall have no inheritance among their brothers. Yahweh is their inheritance, as he has spoken to them.
Basengeli te kozala na libula kati na bandeko na bango; Yawe nde azali libula na bango ndenge alakaki bango.
3 This shall be the priests’ due from the people, from those who offer a sacrifice, whether it be ox or sheep, that they shall give to the priest: the shoulder, the two cheeks, and the inner parts.
Tala eteni oyo Banganga-Nzambe basengeli kozwa epai na bato oyo bakobonza ngombe to meme lokola mbeka: lipeka, mbanga mpe biloko ya kati. Okopesa yango epai ya Nganga-Nzambe oyo azali kosala mosala.
4 You shall give him the first fruits of your grain, of your new wine, and of your oil, and the first of the fleece of your sheep.
Okopesa ye bambuma na yo ya liboso ya ble, ya vino ya sika, ya mafuta mpe bapwale nyonso ya liboso oyo okolongola na bameme na yo;
5 For Yahweh your God has chosen him out of all your tribes to stand to minister in Yahweh’s name, him and his sons forever.
pamba te Yawe, Nzambe na yo, aponi ye elongo na bakitani na ye kati na bikolo na yo nyonso mpo na kotelema mpe kosala tango nyonso mosala na Kombo na Yawe kati na Tempelo.
6 If a Levite comes from any of your gates out of all Israel where he lives, and comes with all the desire of his soul to the place which Yahweh shall choose,
Soki moko kati na Balevi alongwe na engumba moko kati na bingumba ya Isalaele epai wapi azalaki kovanda, mpe ayei ndenge motema na ye elingi, na esika oyo Yawe Nzambe akopona;
7 then he shall minister in the name of Yahweh his God, as all his brothers the Levites do, who stand there before Yahweh.
asengeli kosala na Kombo na Yawe, Nzambe na ye, ndenge bandeko na ye nyonso Balevi bazali kosala kuna na miso ya Yawe.
8 They shall have like portions to eat, in addition to that which comes from the sale of his family possessions.
Akozwa eteni ya ndenge moko na bango na oyo etali biloko ya kolia, bakisa mbongo oyo akozwa tango bakoteka biloko ya libota.
9 When you have come into the land which Yahweh your God gives you, you shall not learn to imitate the abominations of those nations.
Tango okokota na mokili oyo Yawe, Nzambe na yo, akopesa yo, okomekola te misala ya mbindo ya bikolo oyo ezali kuna.
10 There shall not be found with you anyone who makes his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, one who uses divination, one who tells fortunes, or an enchanter, or a sorcerer,
Moto moko te kati na yo akobonza na moto mwana na ye ya mobali to ya mwasi epai ya moto oyo asalelaka soloka, kindoki, oyo atalaka minzoto mpo na kosakola makambo, oyo asalelaka maji
11 or a charmer, or someone who consults with a familiar spirit, or a wizard, or a necromancer.
to moto oyo asalelaka makambo ya nkuku to moto oyo atunaka milimo to nganga-kisi to moto oyo asololaka na bakufi.
12 For whoever does these things is an abomination to Yahweh. Because of these abominations, Yahweh your God drives them out from before you.
Moto nyonso oyo asalaka makambo oyo, azali mbindo na miso ya Yawe; mpe ezali mpo na makambo nyonso oyo ya nkele nde Yawe, Nzambe na bino, akobengana bikolo wana liboso na bino.
13 You shall be blameless with Yahweh your God.
Bosengeli kozala bato bazangi pamela liboso ya Yawe, Nzambe na bino.
14 For these nations that you shall dispossess listen to those who practice sorcery and to diviners; but as for you, Yahweh your God has not allowed you so to do.
Bikolo oyo bokobotola ezali bikolo oyo elandaka bato wana, esalelaka kindoki mpe soloka. Kasi mpo na bino, Yawe, Nzambe na bino, akoki te kopesa bino nzela ya kosala bongo.
15 Yahweh your God will raise up to you a prophet from among you, of your brothers, like me. You shall listen to him.
Yawe, Nzambe na bino, akobimisela bino mosakoli moko lokola ngai, oyo akowuta kati na bandeko na bino; bosengeli koyoka ye.
16 This is according to all that you desired of Yahweh your God in Horeb in the day of the assembly, saying, “Let me not hear again Yahweh my God’s voice, neither let me see this great fire any more, that I not die.”
Yango nde likambo oyo bosengaki epai na Yawe, Nzambe na bino, na ngomba Orebi, na mokolo ya mayangani, tango bolobaki: « Toboyi koyoka lisusu mongongo ya Yawe, Nzambe na biso, to komona lisusu moto makasi oyo, noki te tokokufa. »
17 Yahweh said to me, “They have well said that which they have spoken.
Yawe alobaki na ngai: « Makambo oyo balobi ezali malamu.
18 I will raise them up a prophet from among their brothers, like you. I will put my words in his mouth, and he shall speak to them all that I shall command him.
Nakobimisa kati na bandeko na bango mosakoli moko lokola yo; nakotia maloba na Ngai kati na monoko na ye, mpe akoyebisa bango nyonso oyo Ngai nakotinda ye.
19 It shall happen, that whoever will not listen to my words which he shall speak in my name, I will require it of him.
Soki moto aboyi koyoka maloba na Ngai, oyo mosakoli yango akoloba na Kombo na Ngai, Ngai moko nakopesa ye etumbu.
20 But the prophet who speaks a word presumptuously in my name, which I have not commanded him to speak, or who speaks in the name of other gods, that same prophet shall die.”
Kasi soki mosakoli moko alobi ete azali koloba na Kombo na Ngai, bongo alobi likambo moko oyo Ngai natindi ye te to azali koloba na kombo ya banzambe mosusu, basengeli koboma ye.
21 You may say in your heart, “How shall we know the word which Yahweh has not spoken?”
Tango mosusu bokoki komituna: ‹ Ndenge nini tokoki koyeba ete maloba oyo azali koloba ewuti solo epai na Yawe te? ›
22 When a prophet speaks in Yahweh’s name, if the thing doesn’t follow, nor happen, that is the thing which Yahweh has not spoken. The prophet has spoken it presumptuously. You shall not be afraid of him.
Soki makambo oyo mosakoli alobi na Kombo na Yawe ekokisami te to esalemi te, wana maloba yango ewutaki na Yawe te. Mosakoli wana alobaki kaka na ndenge na ye moko, bobanga ye te. »
