Deuteronomy 8
1 'All the command which I am commanding thee to-day ye observe to do, so that ye live, and have multiplied, and gone in, and possessed the land which Jehovah hath sworn to your fathers;
Salela na bokebi mitindo nyonso oyo nalingi kopesa bino lelo mpo ete bokoka kovanda, kokoma ebele, kokota mpe kozwa mokili oyo Yawe alakaki epai ya bakoko na bino na nzela ya ndayi.
2 and thou hast remembered all the way which Jehovah thy God hath caused thee to go these forty years in the wilderness, in order to humble thee to try thee, to know that which [is] in thy heart, whether thou dost keep His commands or not.
Kobosanaka te ndenge Yawe, Nzambe na yo, akambaki yo na mobembo nyonso kati na esobe mibu tuku minei, mpe ndenge abukaki lolendo na yo mpe amekaki yo mpo na koyeba mozindo ya motema na yo mpe kotala soki okotosa mibeko na Ye to te.
3 'And He doth humble thee, and cause thee to hunger and doth cause thee to eat the manna (which thou hast not known, even thy fathers have not known), in order to cause thee to know that not by bread alone doth man live, but by every produce of the mouth of Jehovah man doth live.
Abukaki lolendo na yo, abomaki yo nzala mpe aleisaki yo mana oyo yo mpe batata na yo botikalaki koyeba te, mpo na koteya yo ete moto abikaka kaka na lipa te, kasi mpe na maloba nyonso oyo ebimaka na monoko ya Yawe.
4 'Thy raiment hath not worn out from off thee, and thy foot hath not swelled these forty years,
Bilamba na yo etikalaki konzuluka te mpe makolo na yo etikalaki kovimba te na mibu wana tuku minei.
5 and thou hast known, with thy heart, that as a man chastiseth his son Jehovah thy God is chastising thee,
Boye sosola ete Yawe, Nzambe na yo, azalaki koteya yo ndenge tata ateyaka mwana na ye.
6 and thou hast kept the commands of Jehovah thy God, to walk in His ways, and to fear Him.
Tosaka mitindo ya Yawe, Nzambe na yo, na kotambolaka na banzela na Ye mpe na kopesaka Ye lokumu.
7 'For Jehovah thy God is bringing thee in unto a good land, a land of brooks of waters, of fountains, and of depths coming out in valley and in mountain:
Pamba te Yawe, Nzambe na yo, azali kokotisa yo na mokili ya malamu, mokili oyo etonda na mayi, na mabulu ya mayi mpe na bitima oyo etiolaka na lubwaku mpe na bangomba;
8 a land of wheat, and barley, and vine, and fig, and pomegranate; a land of oil olive and honey;
mokili oyo etonda na ble, na orje, na vino, na banzete ya figi, na banzete ya grenade; mokili ya mafuta ya olive mpe ya nzoyi;
9 a land in which without scarcity thou dost eat bread, thou dost not lack anything in it; a land whose stones [are] iron, and out of its mountains thou dost dig brass;
mokili oyo bokozanga lipa te mpe eloko moko te; mokili oyo mabanga ezali bibende mpe bokoki kobimisa motako na bangomba.
10 and thou hast eaten, and been satisfied, and hast blessed Jehovah thy God, on the good land which he hath given to thee.
Tango bokolia mpe bokotonda, bosanzola Yawe, Nzambe na bino, mpo na mokili ya malamu oyo apesi bino.
11 'Take heed to thyself, lest thou forget Jehovah thy God so as not to keep His commands, and His judgments, and His statutes which I am commanding thee to-day;
Sala keba ete obosana te Yawe, Nzambe na yo, na kozanga kotosa mitindo na Ye, mibeko na Ye mpe bikateli na Ye oyo nazali kopesa yo lelo.
12 lest thou eat, and hast been satisfied, and good houses dost build, and hast inhabited;
Tango okolia mpe okotonda, tango okotonga bandako ya kitoko mpe okovanda kuna,
13 and thy herd and thy flock be multiplied, and silver and gold be multiplied to thee; and all that is thine be multiplied:
tango bangombe na yo, bantaba na yo mpe bameme na yo ekobotana mingi, tango palata na yo mpe wolo na yo ekokoma ebele mpe biloko nyonso oyo ozali na yango ekokoma ebele;
14 'And thy heart hath been high, and thou hast forgotten Jehovah thy God (who is bringing thee out of the land of Egypt, out of a house of servants;
sala keba ete motema na yo etonda na lofundu te mpe obosana te Yawe, Nzambe na yo, oyo abimisaki yo na Ejipito, mokili ya bowumbu,
15 who is causing thee to go in the great and the terrible wilderness — burning serpent, and scorpion, and thirst — where there is no water; who is bringing out to thee waters from the flinty rock;
oyo akambaki yo na esobe ya monene mpe ya somo, na bitando ekawuka mpe ezanga mayi, etando etonda na banyoka ya ngenge mpe na koto mpe abimiselaki yo mayi ya komela wuta na libanga moko ya makasi.
16 who is causing thee to eat manna in the wilderness, which thy fathers have not known, in order to humble thee, and in order to try thee, to do thee good in thy latter end),
Kati na esobe yango, apesaki yo mana mpo na kolia, bilei oyo batata na yo batikala koyeba te, mpo na kobuka lolendo na yo mpe komeka yo, mpo ete na suka, okoka komona bolamu.
17 and thou hast said in thy heart, My power, and the might of my hand, hath made for me this wealth:
Boye sala keba ete omilobela te: « Nguya na ngai moko mpe makasi ya maboko na ngai moko nde eboteli ngai bomengo oyo! »
18 'And thou hast remembered Jehovah thy God, for He it [is] who is giving to thee power to make wealth, in order to establish His covenant which He hath sworn to thy fathers as [at] this day.
Mpo na yango, kobosanaka te ete ezali Yawe, Nzambe na yo, nde apesaki yo makoki ya kozwa bomengo oyo mpo na kolendisa boyokani na Ye, oyo asalaki elongo na bakoko na bino na nzela ya ndayi, ndenge ezali na mokolo ya lelo.
19 'And it hath been — if thou really forget Jehovah thy God, and hast gone after other gods, and served them, and bowed thyself to them, I have testified against you to-day that ye do utterly perish;
Soki obosani Yawe, Nzambe na yo, soki osaleli banzambe mosusu, soki ogumbameli mpe ofukameli yango, nalobi na bino solo lelo ete bokobebisama.
20 as the nations whom Jehovah is destroying from your presence, so ye perish; because ye hearken not to the voice of Jehovah your God.
Bokobebisama solo lokola bikolo oyo Yawe abebisaki liboso na bino, mpo ete botosi te Yawe, Nzambe na bino.
