Deteronomi 1
1 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.
These bee the wordes which Moses spake vnto all Israel, on this side Iorden in the wildernesse, in the plaine, ouer against the red Sea, betweene Paran and Tophel, and Laban, and Hazeroth, and Di-zahab.
2 Esengaka mikolo zomi na moko ya mobembo wuta na Orebi kino na Kadeshi-Barinea, na nzela ya ngomba Seiri.
There are eleuen dayes iourney from Horeb vnto Kadesh-barnea, by the way of mout Seir.
3 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.
And it came to passe in the first day of the eleuenth moneth, in the fourtieth yeere that Moses spake vnto the children of Israel according vnto all that the Lord had giuen him in commandement vnto them,
4 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.
After that he had slaine Sihon the king of the Amorites which dwelt in Heshbon, and Og king of Bashan, which dwelt at Ashtaroth in Edrei.
5 Ezalaki na ngambo ya este ya Yordani, na mokili ya Moabi, nde Moyize alimbolaki mobeko oyo. Alobaki na bango:
On this side Iorden in the lande of Moab began Moses to declare this lawe, saying,
6 « Yawe, Nzambe na biso, alobaki na biso, na ngomba Orebi: ‹ Bowumeli mpe mingi na ngomba oyo.
The Lord our God spake vnto vs in Horeb, saying, Ye haue dwelt long ynough in this mount,
7 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.
Turne you and depart, and goe vnto the mountaine of the Amorites, and vnto all places neere thereunto in the plaine, in the mountaine, or in the valley: both Southwarde, and to the Sea side, to the land of the Canaanites, and vnto Lebanon: euen vnto the great riuer, the riuer Perath.
8 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. › »
Beholde, I haue set the land before you: go in and possesse that land which the Lord sware vnto your fathers, Abraham, Izhak, and Iaakob, to giue vnto them and to their seede after them.
9 Na tango wana, nalobaki na bino: — Ngai moko nakokoka te kokamba bino.
And I spake vnto you the same time, saying, I am not able to beare you my selfe alone:
10 Yawe, Nzambe na bino, akomisi bino ebele koleka mpe tala lelo motango na bino ekomi lokola minzoto na likolo.
The Lord your God hath multiplied you: and beholde, ye are this day as the starres of heauen in nomber:
11 Tika ete Yawe, Nzambe ya bakoko na bino, akomisa bino ebele mbala nkoto moko mpe apambola bino ndenge alakaki!
(The Lord God of your fathers make you a thousand times so many moe as ye are, and blesse you, as he hath promised you)
12 Nakokoka ndenge nini komema ngai moko makambo na bino, mikumba na bino, mpe kowelana na bino?
Howe can I alone beare your combrance and your charge, and your strife?
13 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.
Bring you men of wisedome and of vnderstanding, and knowen among your tribes, and I will make them rulers ouer you:
14 Bozongiselaki ngai: — Makambo oyo osili koyebisa biso ezali malamu.
Then ye answered me and said, The thing is good that thou hast commanded vs to doe.
15 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.
So I tooke the chiefe of your tribes wise and knowen men, and made them rulers ouer you, captaines ouer thousands, and captaines ouer hundreds, and captaines ouer fiftie, and captaines ouer tenne, and officers among your tribes.
16 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.
And I charged your iudges that same time, saying, Heare the controuersies betweene your brethren, and iudge righteously betweene euery man and his brother, and the stranger that is with him.
17 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. »
Ye shall haue no respect of person in iudgement, but shall heare the small aswell as the great: yee shall not feare the face of man: for the iudgement is Gods: and the cause that is too hard for you, bring vnto me, and I will heare it.
18 Mpe na tango wana, nayebisaki bino makambo nyonso oyo bosengeli kosala.
Also I commanded you the same time all the things which ye should doe.
19 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.
Then we departed from Horeb, and went through all that great and terrible wildernesse (as yee haue seene) by the way of the mountaine of the Amorites, as the Lord our God commanded vs: and we came to Kadesh-barnea.
20 Nalobaki na bino: — Bosili kokoma na etuka ya bangomba ya bato ya Amori, etuka oyo Yawe, Nzambe na biso, apesi biso.
And I saide vnto you, Yee are come vnto the mountaine of the Amorites, which the Lord our God doeth giue vnto vs.
21 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.
Beholde, the Lord thy God hath layde the land before thee: go vp and possesse it, as the Lord the God of thy fathers hath saide vnto thee: feare not, neither be discouraged.
22 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.
Then ye came vnto me euery one, and said, We wil send men before vs, to search vs out the land and to bring vs word againe, what way we must go vp by, and vnto what cities we shall come.
23 Likanisi yango emonanaki malamu na miso na ngai, yango wana naponaki kati na bino mibali zomi na mibale, mobali moko mpo na libota moko.
So the saying pleased me well, and I tooke twelue men of you, of euery tribe one.
24 Balongwaki mpe bakendeki, bongo bamataki kino na etuka ya bangomba mpe bakomaki na lubwaku ya Eshikoli oyo banongaki.
Who departed, and went vp into the mountaine, and came vnto the riuer Eshcol, and searched out the land.
25 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. »
And tooke of the fruite of the land in their hands, and brought it vnto vs, and brought vs worde againe, and sayd, It is a good land, which the Lord our God doeth giue vs.
26 Kasi boboyaki komata, botombokelaki etinda ya Yawe, Nzambe na bino.
Notwithstanding, ye would not go vp, but were disobedient vnto the commandement of the Lord your God,
27 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.
And murmured in your tentes, and sayd, Because the Lord hated vs, therefore hath hee brought vs out of the land of Egypt, to deliuer vs into the hand of the Amorites, and to destroy vs.
28 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. › »
Whither shall we go vp? our brethren haue discouraged our hearts, saying, The people is greater, and taller then we: the cities are great and walled vp to heauen: and moreouer we haue seene the sonnes of the Anakims there.
29 Nalobaki na bino: « Bozala na somo te mpe bobanga bango te,
But I sayd vnto you, Dread not, nor be afrayd of them.
30 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.
The Lord your God, who goeth before you, he shall fight for you, according to all that he did vnto you in Egypt before your eyes,
31 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. »
And in the wildernesse, where thou hast seene how the Lord thy God bare thee, as a man doeth beare his sonne, in all the way which ye haue gone, vntill ye came vnto this place.
32 Atako bongo, botiaki elikya te epai na Yawe, Nzambe na bino,
Yet for all this ye did not beleeue the Lord your God,
33 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.
Who went in the way before you, to search you out a place to pitch your tentes in, in fire by night, that ye might see what way to goe, and in a cloude by day.
34 Tango Yawe ayokaki nyonso oyo bozalaki koloba, asilikaki mpe alapaki ndayi:
Then the Lord heard the voyce of your wordes, and was wroth, and sware, saying,
35 « 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,
Surely there shall not one of these men of this froward generation, see that good land, which I sware to giue vnto your fathers,
36 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. »
Saue Caleb the sonne of Iephunneh: he shall see it, and to him will I giue the land that he hath troden vpon, and to his children, because he hath constantly followed the Lord.
37 Likolo na bino, Yawe asilikelaki mpe ngai; alobaki: « Yo mpe lisusu okokota te kati na mokili yango.
Also the Lord was angry with me for your sakes, saying, Thou also shalt not goe in thither,
38 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.
But Ioshua the sonne of Nun which standeth before thee, he shall go in thither: incourage him: for he shall cause Israel to inherite it.
39 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.
Moreouer, your children, which ye sayd should be a praye, and your sonnes, which in that day had no knowledge betweene good and euill, they shall go in thither, and vnto them wil I giue it, and they shall possesse it.
40 Mpo na bino, bobaluka mpe bokende na esobe, na nzela ya ebale monene ya Barozo. »
But as for you, turne backe, and take your iourney into the wildernesse by the way of the red Sea.
41 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.
Then ye answered and sayd vnto me, We haue sinned against the Lord, we wil go vp, and fight, according to all that the Lord our God hath commanded vs: and ye armed you euery man to the warre, and were ready to goe vp into the mountaine.
42 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. »
But the Lord said vnto me, Say vnto them, Goe not vp, neither fight, (for I am not among you) least ye fall before your enemies.
43 Nzokande nayebisaki bino, kasi boyokaki kaka te; botombokelaki mitindo ya Yawe; mpe, na lolendo na bino, bomataki na etuka ya bangomba.
And when I told you, ye would not heare, but rebelled against the commandement of the Lord, and were presumptuous, and went vp into the mountaine.
44 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.
Then the Amorites which dwelt in that mountaine came out against you, and chased you (as bees vse to doe) and destroied you in Seir, euen vnto Hormah.
45 Bozongaki mpe bolelaki liboso ya Yawe, kasi aboyaki koyoka kolela na bino, akangaki matoyi na Ye.
And when ye came againe, ye wept before the Lord, but the Lord would not heare your voyce, nor incline his eares vnto you.
46 Bongo bovandaki na Kadeshi mikolo ebele.
So ye abode in Kadesh a long time, according to the time that ye had remained before.
