< Deteronomi 11 >
1 Boye, okolinga Yawe, Nzambe na yo, mpe okobatela tango nyonso malako na Ye, bikateli na Ye mpe mitindo na Ye.
'And thou hast loved Jehovah thy God, and kept His charge, and His statutes, and His judgments, and His commands, all the days;
2 Nazali koloba na bana na bino te oyo batikalaki te koyeba to komona nyonso wana, kasi na bino oyo bozali awa lelo ete bobosanaka te malako ya Yawe, Nzambe na bino, monene na Ye, nguya na Ye,
and ye have known to-day — for it is not your sons who have not known, and who have not seen the chastisement of Jehovah your God, His greatness, His strong hand, and His stretched-out arm,
3 bilembo mpe bikamwa oyo asalaki kati na Ejipito, epai ya Faraon, mokonzi ya Ejipito, mpe epai ya mokili na ye mobimba,
and His signs, and His doings, which He hath done in the midst of Egypt, to Pharaoh king of Egypt, and to all his land;
4 makambo oyo asalaki na mampinga ya Ejipito, na bampunda mpe bashar na yango, ndenge azindisaki yango kati na Ebale monene ya barozo, tango ezalaki kolanda bino, mpe ndenge nini Yawe alimwisaki yango libela;
and that which He hath done to the force of Egypt, to its horses, and to its chariot, when He hath caused the waters of the Red Sea to flow against their faces in their pursuing after them, and Jehovah destroyeth them, unto this day;
5 makambo oyo asalelaki bino kati na esobe kino bokoma na esika oyo,
and that which He hath done to you in the wilderness, till your coming in unto this place;
6 makambo oyo asalaki na Datani mpe Abirami, bana mibali ya Eliabi, na libota ya Ribeni, tango mabele efungolaki monoko na yango mpe emelaki bango elongo na mabota na bango, bandako na bango mpe bato nyonso oyo bazalaki sima na bango kati na Isalaele mobimba.
and that which He hath done to Dathan, and to Abiram, sons of Eliab, sons of Reuben, when the earth hath opened her mouth and swalloweth them, and their houses, and their tents, and all that liveth, which is at their feet, in the midst of all Israel:
7 Ezali bino nde bato bomonaki na miso na bino moko makambo nyonso ya minene oyo Yawe asalaki.
' — But [it is] your eyes which are seeing all the great work of Jehovah, which He hath done;
8 Yango wana, bobatela mibeko nyonso oyo napesi bino lelo mpo ete bozala makasi mpe bokoka kobotola mokili oyo bolingi kokota mpo na kozwa
and ye have kept all the command which I am commanding thee to-day, so that ye are strong, and have gone in, and possessed the land whither ye are passing over to possess it,
9 mpe kowumela mingi kati na mokili oyo Yawe alakaki kopesa, na nzela ya ndayi, epai ya bakoko na bino mpe epai ya bakitani na bango, mokili oyo ezali kobimisa miliki mpe mafuta ya nzoyi.
and so that ye prolong days on the ground which Jehovah hath sworn to your fathers to give to them and to their seed — a land flowing with milk and honey.
10 Mokili oyo ozali kokota mpo na kozwa ekokani te na mokili ya Ejipito epai wapi bowutaki. Kuna, bozalaki kolona bambuma mpe koyeisa mayi na bilanga na kosalaka banzela ya mayi na makolo na bino.
'For the land whither thou art going in to possess it, is not as the land of Egypt whence ye have come out, where thou sowest thy seed, and hast watered with thy foot, as a garden of the green herb;
11 Kasi mokili oyo bozali kokota mpo na kozwa ezali mokili ya bangomba mpe ya mabwaku, mokili oyo mvula enokaka wuta na likolo.
but the land whither ye are passing over to possess it, [is] a land of hills and valleys; of the rain of the heavens it drinketh water;
12 Ezali mokili oyo Yawe, Nzambe na yo, abatelaka; miso ya Yawe, Nzambe na yo, ezalaka tango nyonso likolo na yango wuta na ebandeli kino na suka ya mobu.
a land which Jehovah thy God is searching; continually [are] the eyes of Jehovah thy God upon it, from the beginning of the year even unto the latter end of the year.
13 Soki bokotosa na boyengebene mibeko oyo napesi bino lelo ya kolinga Yawe, Nzambe na bino, mpe ya kosalela Ye na motema na bino mobimba mpe na molimo na bino mobimba,
'And it hath been — if thou hearken diligently unto My commands which I am commanding you to-day, to love Jehovah your God, and to serve Him with all your heart, and with all your soul —
14 nakonokisa kati na mokili na bino mvula na tango na yango, mvula ya ebandeli ya eleko mpe mvula ya suka ya eleko, mpo ete bokoka kobuka mbuma ya malamu, bokoka kozwa vino ya sika mpe mafuta.
that I have given the rain of your land in its season — sprinkling and gathered — and thou hast gathered thy corn, and thy new wine, and thine oil,
15 Nakokolisa matiti kati na bilanga mpo na bibwele na bino mpe bokolia mpe bokotonda.
and I have given herbs in thy field for thy cattle, and thou hast eaten, and been satisfied.
16 Bosala keba ete bokosama te mpe bopengwa te na kogumbamelaka banzambe mosusu mpe na kofukamelaka yango,
'Take heed to yourselves, lest your heart be enticed, and ye have turned aside, and served other gods, and bowed yourselves to them,
17 noki te Yawe akosilikela bino, akokanga likolo mpo ete enokisa lisusu mvula te mpe mabele ekobota lisusu te mbuma na yango; na bongo bokolimwa kati na mokili ya malamu oyo Yawe apesi bino.
and the anger of Jehovah hath burned against you, and He hath restrained the heavens, and there is no rain, and the ground doth not give her increase, and ye have perished hastily from off the good land which Jehovah is giving to you.
18 Bobatela malamu kati na mitema mpe milimo na bino maloba na ngai oyo, bokanga yango na maboko na bino lokola bilembo, mpe botia yango na bilongi na bino lokola elembo.
'And ye have placed these my words on your heart, and on your soul, and have bound them for a sign on your hand, and they have been for frontlets between your eyes;
19 Boteya yango na bana na bino na kolobelaka bango yango tango bovandi kati na bandako mpe tango bozali kotambola na nzela, tango bolali pongi mpe tango bolamuki.
and ye have taught them to your sons, by speaking of them in thy sitting in thy house, and in thy going in the way, and in thy lying down, and in thy rising up,
20 Bokoma yango na makonzi ya bandako na bino mpe na bikuke na bino
and hast written them on the side-posts of thy house, and on thy gates,
21 mpo ete mikolo na bino mpe mikolo ya bakitani na bino ezala ebele kati na mokili oyo Yawe alakaki kopesa epai ya bakoko na bino na nzela na ndayi tango nyonso oyo mokili ekowumela.
so that your days are multiplied, and the days of your sons, on the ground which Jehovah hath sworn to your fathers to give to them, as the days of the heavens on the earth.
22 Soki bobateli malamu mibeko nyonso oyo napesi bino mpo na kosalela, na kolingaka Yawe, Nzambe na bino, na kotambolaka na banzela na Ye nyonso mpe na kokangamaka na Ye;
'For, if ye diligently keep all this command which I am commanding you — to do it, to love Jehovah your God, to walk in all His ways, and to cleave to Him,
23 wana Yawe akobengana liboso na bino bikolo oyo nyonso, mpe bokobotola bikolo oyo eleki bino na monene mpe na makasi.
then hath Jehovah dispossessed all these nations from before you, and ye have possessed nations, greater and mightier than you;
24 Esika nyonso makolo na bino ekonyata, ekozala ya bino. Mokili na bino ekobanda wuta na esobe kino na Libani, wuta na Ebale Efrate kino na este ya Ebale monene.
every place on which the sole of your foot treadeth is yours; from the wilderness, and Lebanon, from the river, the river Phrat, even unto the farther sea is your border;
25 Moto moko te akolonga kotelemela bino. Ndenge Yawe Nzambe alakaki bino, akotia somo mpe kobanga kati na mokili mobimba, na esika nyonso oyo bokokende.
no man doth station himself in your presence; your dread and your fear doth Jehovah your God put on the face of all the land on which ye tread, as He hath spoken to you.
26 Tala, natie lelo liboso na bino mapamboli mpe bilakeli mabe.
'See, I am setting before you to-day a blessing and a reviling:
27 Mapamboli, soki botosi mibeko ya Yawe, Nzambe na bino, oyo napesi bino lelo;
the blessing, when ye hearken unto the commands of Jehovah your God, which I am commanding you to-day;
28 bilakeli mabe, soki boboyi kotosa mibeko ya Yawe, Nzambe na bino, mpe bopengwi na nzela oyo natindi bino lelo, na kosalelaka banzambe mosusu oyo bino botikalaki koyeba te.
and the reviling, if ye do not hearken unto the commands of Jehovah your God, and have turned aside out of the way which I am commanding you to-day, to go after other gods which ye have not known.
29 Tango Yawe, Nzambe na bino, akokotisa bino na mokili oyo bozali kokota mpo na kozwa, bosengeli kotatola mapamboli na ngomba Garizimi, mpe bilakeli mabe, na ngomba Ebali.
'And it hath been, when Jehovah thy God doth bring thee in unto the land whither thou art going in to possess it, that thou hast given the blessing on mount Gerizim, and the reviling on mount Ebal;
30 Bangomba nyonso mibale ezali na ngambo mosusu ya Yordani, ngambo ya weste, na mokili ya bato ya Kanana oyo bavandaka na etando ya Yordani, etalana na Giligali, pembeni ya banzete minene ya More.
are they not beyond the Jordan, behind the way of the going in of the sun, in the land of the Canaanite, who is dwelling in the plain over-against Gilgal, near the oaks of Moreh?
31 Kala mingi te, bokokatisa Yordani mpo na kokota mpe kozwa mokili oyo Yawe, Nzambe na bino, azali kopesa bino. Tango bokobotola yango mpe bokowumela kati na yango,
for ye are passing over the Jordan to go in to possess the land which Jehovah your God is giving to you; and ye have possessed it, and dwelt in it,
32 bosala keba ete botosa bikateli nyonso mpe mibeko nyonso oyo nazali kotia liboso na bino lelo.
and observed to do all the statutes and the judgments which I am setting before you to day.
