Deteronomi 12

1 Tala bikateli mpe mibeko oyo bosengeli kosalela malamu kati na mokili oyo Yawe, Nzambe ya bakoko na bino, azali kopesa bino mpo na kozwa, na tango nyonso oyo bokowumela kati na mokili yango.

And these [are] the ordinances and the judgments, which you shall observe to do in the land, which the Lord God of your fathers gives you for an inheritance, all the days which you live upon the land.

2 Bobebisa bisika nyonso oyo bato ya bikolo oyo bozali kobengana bazalaki kogumbamela banzambe na bango na likolo ya bangomba ya milayi mpe ya mikuse mpe na se ya banzete nyonso oyo ezali na makasa ya mobesu.

You shall utterly destroy all the places in which they served their gods, whose [land] you inherit, on the high mountains and on the hills, and under the thick tree.

3 Bokweyisa bitumbelo na bango, bobuka mabanga na bango ya bule, botumba na moto makonzi na bango ya bule, bopanza na biteni bikeko ya banzambe na bango mpe bolimwisa bakombo na bango na bisika wana.

And you shall destroy their altars, and break in pieces their pillars, and you shall cut down their groves, and you shall burn with fire the graven images of their gods, and you shall abolish their name out of that place.

4 Nzokande mpo na bino, bosengeli te kogumbamela Yawe, Nzambe na bino, na lolenge na bango.

You shall not do so to the Lord your God.

5 Bosengeli koluka esika oyo Yawe, Nzambe na bino, akopona kati na bikolo na bino nyonso mpo na kotia Kombo na Ye mpe mpo na kokomisa yango esika na Ye. Ezali na esika yango kaka nde bosengeli kokende.

But in the place which the Lord your God shall choose in one of your cities to name his name there, and to be called upon, you shall even seek [him] out and go there.

6 Ezali kuna nde bokomema bambeka na bino ya kotumba, makabo na bino, eteni na bino ya zomi, bakado ya ndenge na ndenge, makabo mpo na kokokisa ndayi, makabo oyo bokokata kopesa wuta na mokano ya mitema na bino moko mpe bana mibali ya liboso ya bangombe, ya bameme mpe ya bantaba na bino.

And you shall carry there your whole burnt offerings, and your sacrifices, and your first fruits, and your vowed-offerings, and your free will offerings, and your offerings of thanksgiving, the firstborn of your herds, and of your flocks.

7 Kaka na esika yango, na miso ya Yawe, Nzambe na bino, bino mpe mabota na bino bokolia mpe bokosepela na eloko nyonso oyo bokosala na maboko na bino; pamba te Yawe, Nzambe na bino, apamboli bino.

And you shall eat there before the Lord your God, and you shall rejoice in all the things on which you shall lay your hand, you and your houses, as the Lord your God has blessed you.

8 Bosengeli lisusu te kosala ndenge tozali kosala awa, na mokolo ya lelo: moto nyonso azali kosala ndenge alingi.

You shall not do altogether as we do here today, every man that which is pleasing in his own sight.

9 Pamba te kino lelo, bokoti nanu te na esika ya bopemi mpe bozwi nanu te libula oyo Yawe, Nzambe na bino, azali kopesa bino.

For hitherto you have not arrived at the rest and the inheritance, which the Lord our God gives you.

10 Kasi bokokatisa Yordani mpe bokovanda na mokili oyo Yawe, Nzambe na bino, azali kopesa bino lokola libula. Akopesa bino bopemi na kokangolaka bino na maboko ya banguna na bino nyonso oyo bazingeli bino, mpe bokovanda na kimia.

And you shall go over Jordan, and shall dwell in the land, which the Lord our God takes as an inheritance for you; and he shall give you rest from all your enemies round about, and you shall dwell safely.

11 Boye, na esika oyo Yawe, Nzambe na bino, akopona mpo na kotia Kombo na Ye, bokomema eloko nyonso oyo natindi bino: bambeka na bino ya kotumba, makabo na bino, biteni na bino ya zomi, bakado na bino ya ndenge na ndenge mpe biloko nyonso ya kitoko oyo bozali na yango, oyo bolapaki ndayi mpo na kopesa epai na Yawe.

And there shall be a place which the Lord your God shall choose for his name to be called there, there shall you bring all things that I order you today; your whole burnt offerings, and your sacrifices, and your tithes, and the first fruits of your hands, and every choice gift of yours, whatever you shall vow to the Lord your God.

12 Kuna kaka nde bokosepela liboso ya Yawe, Nzambe na bino; bino, bana na bino ya mibali mpe ya basi, bawumbu na bino ya mibali, basi bawumbu na bino, mpe Balevi oyo bazali kati na bingumba na bino, pamba te bazangi eteni ya mabele to libula kati na bino.

And you shall rejoice before the Lord your God, you and your sons, and your daughters, and your menservants and your maidservants, and the Levite that is at your gates; because he has no portion or inheritance with you.

13 Bosala keba ete bobonza te bambeka na bino ya kotumba na bisika nyonso oyo bokomona.

Take heed to yourself that you offer not your whole burnt offerings in any place which you shall see;

14 Bokobonza bambeka yango kaka na esika oyo Yawe akopona kati na moko ya bikolo na bino, mpe kuna kaka nde bokosala makambo nyonso oyo natindi bino.

save in the place which the Lord your God shall choose, in one of your tribes, there shall you offer your whole burnt offerings, and there shall you do all things whatever I charge you this day.

15 Nzokande, bokoki kokata kingo ya bibwele na bino mpe kolia misuni na yango ndenge bolingi kati na bingumba na bino nyonso, ezala mboloko to pambi, kolanda mapamboli oyo Yawe, Nzambe na bino, akopesa bino. Moto ya mbindo to moto ya peto akoki na ye kolia yango.

But you shall kill according to all your desire, and shall eat flesh according to the blessing of the Lord your God, which he has given you in every city; the unclean that is within you and the clean shall eat it on equal terms, as the doe or the stag.

16 Kasi bosengeli te kolia makila; bosopa yango lokola mayi na mabele.

Only you shall not eat the blood; you shall pour it out on the ground as water.

17 Bosengeli te kolia kati na bingumba na bino eteni ya zomi ya bambuma na bino, ya vino na bino ya sika, ya mafuta na bino, bana ya liboso ya bangombe na bino, ya bameme na bino, ya bantaba na bino to makabo nyonso oyo bopesaki mpo na kokokisa ndayi, makabo oyo bokataki kopesa wuta na mokano ya mitema na bino moko to makabo ya ndenge na ndenge.

You shall not be able to eat in your cities the tithe of your corn, and of your wine, and of your oil, the firstborn of your herd and of your flock, and all [your] vows as many as you shall have vowed, and your thank-offerings, and the first fruits of your hands.

18 Kasi bokolia yango kaka na miso ya Yawe, Nzambe na bino, na esika oyo Yawe Nzambe akopona: bino, bana na bino ya mibali mpe ya basi, bawumbu na bino ya mibali, basi bawumbu na bino, Balevi oyo bazali kati na bingumba na bino mpe bokosepela liboso ya Yawe, Nzambe na bino, na mosala nyonso oyo maboko na bino ekosala.

But before the Lord your God you shall eat it, in the place which the Lord your God shall choose for himself, you, and your son, and your daughter, your man-servant, and your maidservant, and the stranger that is within your gates; and you shall rejoice before the Lord your God, on whatever you shall lay your hand.

19 Tango nyonso bokovanda kati na mokili na bino, bosala keba ete bobosana Balevi te.

Take heed to yourself that you do not desert the Levite all the time that you live upon the earth.

20 Tango Yawe, Nzambe na bino, akokomisa mokili na bino monene ndenge alakaki bino mpe tango bokozala na posa ya kolia mosuni mpe bokoloba: « Nazali na posa ya kolia mosuni, » bokolia yango ndenge bolingi.

And if the Lord your God shall enlarge your borders, as he said to you, and you shall say, I will eat flesh; if your soul should desire to eat flesh, you shall eat flesh according to all the desire of your soul.

21 Soki esika oyo Yawe, Nzambe na bino, aponi mpo na kotia Kombo na Ye ezali mosika mingi mpo na bino, wana bokokata kingo ya bangombe na bino, ya bantaba na bino, ya bameme na bino, oyo Yawe apesaki bino ndenge natindaki bino mpe bokoki kolia yango ndenge bolingi kati na bingumba na bino.

And if the place be far from you, which the Lord your God shall choose for himself, that his name be called upon it, then you shall kill of your herd and of your flock which God shall have given you, even as I commanded you, and you shall eat in your cities according to the desire of your soul.

22 Bokolia yango ndenge baliaka pambi to mboloko; moto nyonso, azala mbindo to peto, akoki na ye kolia yango.

As the doe and the stag are eaten, so shall you eat it; the unclean in you and the clean shall eat it in like manner.

23 Kasi bosala keba ete bolia makila te, pamba te makila ezali bomoi, mpe bosengeli te kolia bomoi elongo na nyama.

Take diligent heed that you eat no blood, for blood [is] the life of it; the life shall not be eaten with the flesh.

24 Bosengeli te kolia makila; kasi bosopa yango na mabele ndenge basopaka mayi.

You shall not eat [it]; you shall pour it out on the ground as water.

25 Bolia yango te mpo ete bomona bolamu, bino mpe bana na bino; na nzela wana nde bokosala oyo ezali alima na miso ya Yawe.

You shall not eat it, that it may be well with you and with your sons after you, if you shall do that which is good and pleasing before the Lord your God.

26 Kasi bokozwa biloko na bino ya bule mpe biloko nyonso oyo bolapaki ndayi mpo na kopesa, mpe bokokende na esika oyo Yawe akopona.

But you shall take your holy things, if you have any, and your vowed-offerings, and come to the place which the Lord your God shall choose to have his name named upon it.

27 Bokotumba mosuni mpe makila ya bambeka na bino ya kotumba na etumbelo ya Yawe, Nzambe na bino. Bokosopa makila ya bambeka na bino mosusu na etumbelo ya Yawe, Nzambe na bino; kasi mpo na mosuni na yango, bokoki na bino kolia yango.

And you shall sacrifice your whole burnt offerings, you shall offer the flesh upon the altar of the Lord your God; but the blood of your sacrifices you shall pour out at the foot of the altar of the Lord your God, but the flesh you shall eat.

28 Bosala keba mpo na kotosa mibeko oyo nazali kopesa bino mpo ete bomona bolamu tango nyonso, bino mpe bana na bino, pamba te na nzela wana nde bokosala oyo ezali malamu mpe alima na miso ya Yawe, Nzambe na bino.

Beware and listen, and you shall do all the commands which I charge you, that it may be well with you and with your sons for ever, if you shall do that which is pleasing and good before the Lord your God.

29 Yawe, Nzambe na bino, akolimwisa na liboso na bino bikolo oyo bozali kokende kobundisa mpe kobotola. Kasi tango bokobengana bango mpe bokovanda na bamboka na bango,

And if the Lord your God shall utterly destroy the nations, to whom you go in there to inherit their land, from before you, and you shall inherit it, and dwell in their land;

30 mpe tango bokosilisa kobebisa bango liboso na bino, bosala keba ete bokweya te na motambo na bango ya kosalela banzambe na bango mpe na motambo ya koluka koyeba na komitunaka: « Ndenge nini bikolo oyo esalelaka banzambe na bango? Tokosala ndenge moko mpe kati na bingumba na biso. »

take heed to yourself that you seek not to follow them after they are destroyed before you, saying, How do these nations act towards their gods? I will do likewise.

31 Bokoki te kogumbamela Yawe, Nzambe na bino, ndenge bango basalaka. Pamba te Yawe amonaka yango lokola likambo ya nkele mpe ayinaka makambo oyo basalaki mpo na banzambe na bango: bazalaki ata kotumbaka na moto bana na bango ya mibali mpe ya basi lokola mbeka mpo na banzambe na bango.

You shall not do so to your God; for they have sacrificed to their gods the abominations of the Lord which he hates, for they burn their sons and their daughters in fire to their gods.

32 Tala, bosala nyonso oyo natindi bino, bobakisa to bolongola ata eloko moko te.

Every word that I command you this day, it shall you observe to do: you shall not add to it, nor diminish from it.
