Deteronomi 13
1 Soki mosakoli moko to moto moko oyo amonaka makambo abimi kati na bino mpe asakoleli bino bilembo minene mpe bikamwa,
And if there arise within thee a prophet, or one who dreams a dream, and he gives thee a sign or a wonder,
2 mpe soki bilembo minene mpe bikamwa oyo asakolaki ekokisami mpe alobi na bino: « Tika ete tosalela mpe togumbamela banzambe mosusu, » nzokande bino boyebi banzambe yango te,
and the sign or the wonder come to pass which he spoke to thee, saying, Let us go and serve other gods, which ye know not;
3 bosengeli te koyoka maloba ya mosakoli wana to ya moto wana oyo amonaka makambo. Yawe, Nzambe na bino, akomeka bino mpo na kotala soki bolingi Ye na motema na bino mobimba mpe na molimo na bino mobimba.
ye shall not hearken to the words of that prophet, or the dreamer of that dream, because the Lord thy God tries you, to know whether ye love your God with all your heart and with all your soul.
4 Bosengeli kosambela mpe kokumisa kaka Yawe, Nzambe na bino; bobatela mitindo na Ye, botosa Ye mpe bokangama na Ye.
Ye shall follow the Lord your God, and fear him, and ye shall hear his voice, and attach yourselves to him.
5 Mosakoli to moto wana oyo amonaka makambo, esengeli baboma ye, pamba te azali koteya mpo ete botombokela Yawe, Nzambe na bino, oyo abimisaki bino na Ejipito mpe asikolaki bino na mokili ya bowumbu. Moto wana azalaki nde na posa ya kopengwisa bino na nzela oyo Yawe, Nzambe na bino, atindaki bino kolanda. Boye, bosengeli kolongola mabe kati na bino.
And that prophet or that dreamer of a dream, shall die; for he has spoken to make thee err from the Lord thy God who brought thee out of the land of Egypt, who redeemed thee from bondage, to thrust thee out of the way which the Lord thy God commanded thee to walk in: so shalt thou abolish the evil from among you.
6 Soki ndeko na yo moko ya mobali to ya mwasi, mwana na yo ya mobali to ya mwasi, mwasi oyo yo olingaka to moninga na yo ya motema alingi kokosa yo na nkuku na koloba: « Tokende kogumbamela banzambe mosusu, » banzambe oyo bino mpe bakoko na bino botikalaki koyeba te,
And if thy brother by thy father or mother, or thy son, or daughter, or thy wife in thy bosom, or friend who is equal to thine own soul, entreat thee secretly, saying, Let us go and serve other gods, which neither thou nor thy fathers have known,
7 banzambe ya bato oyo bazingeli bino, oyo bazali pembeni to mosika, wuta na suka moko ya mokili kino na suka mosusu),
of the gods of the nations that are round about you, who are near thee or at a distance from thee, from one end of the earth to the other;
8 koyoka ye te mpe kondima ye te. Koyokela ye mawa te, kobikisa ye te mpe kobomba ye te.
thou shalt not consent to him, neither shalt thou hearken to him; and thine eye shall not spare him, thou shalt feel no regret for him, neither shalt thou at all protect him:
9 Ya solo, osengeli koboma ye na mabanga. Loboko na yo ekozala loboko ya liboso mpo na kobamba ye mabanga mpe sima maboko ya bato nyonso.
thou shalt surely report concerning him, and thy hands shall be upon him among the first to slay him, and the hands of all the people at the last.
10 Boboma ye na mabanga, pamba te alingaki kopengwisa bino mosika na Yawe, Nzambe na bino, oyo abimisaki bino na Ejipito, mokili ya bowumbu.
And they shall stone him with stones, and he shall die, because he sought to draw thee away from the Lord thy God who brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
11 Boye, Isalaele nyonso ekoyoka mpe ekobanga, bongo moto moko te kati na bino akosala lisusu makambo mabe ya lolenge oyo.
And all Israel shall hear, and fear, and shall not again do according to this evil thing among you.
12 Soki oyoki bato koloba na tina na moko kati na bingumba oyo Yawe, Nzambe na yo, apesi yo mpo na kovanda
And if in one of thy cities which the Lord God gives thee to dwell therein, thou shalt hear men saying,
13 ete bato mabe bamonani kati na yango, batindiki bato ya engumba na bango mpe balobi na bango: « Tika ete tokende kogumbamela banzambe mosusu, » banzambe oyo oyebaki te,
Evil men have gone out from you, and have caused all the inhabitants of their land to fall away, saying, Let us go and worship other gods, whom ye knew not,
14 wana osengeli koluka koyeba, kotuna mpe kotala malamu-malamu. Soki ezali ya solo mpe emonani ete likambo yango ya mbindo esalemaki penza kati na yo,
then thou shalt enquire and ask, and search diligently, and behold, [if] the thing is clearly true, and this abomination has taken place among you,
15 osengeli solo koboma na mopanga bavandi nyonso ya engumba yango. Osengeli kobebisa yango nyonso: bato na yango mpe bibwele na yango.
thou shalt utterly destroy all the dwellers in that land with the edge of the sword; ye shall solemnly curse it, and all things in it.
16 Okosangisa biloko nyonso ya engumba yango oyo bobotoli na esika oyo bato nyonso bakutanaka mpe okotumba engumba nyonso mpe biloko na yango nyonso oyo bobotolaki lokola mbeka ya kotumba mpo na Yawe, Nzambe na bino. Ekotikala mopiku ya mabanga mpo na libela, ekoki kotongama lisusu te.
And all its spoils thou shalt gather into its public ways, and thou shalt burn the city with fire, and all its spoils publicly before the Lord thy God; and it shall be uninhabited for ever, it shall not be built again.
17 Eloko moko te kati na biloko oyo epesama lokola ekila ekoki komonana na maboko na yo, mpo ete Yawe Nzambe apelisela yo lisusu te kanda na Ye ya makasi, kasi atalisa yo ngolu na Ye, ayokela yo mawa mpe akomisa yo ebele ndenge alakaki yango epai ya bakoko na yo na nzela ya ndayi,
And there shall nothing of the cursed thing cleave to thy hand, that the Lord may turn from his fierce anger, and shew thee mercy, and pity thee, and multiply thee, as he sware to thy fathers;
18 soki otosi Yawe, Nzambe na yo, obateli mibeko na Ye nyonso oyo nazali kopesa yo lelo mpe otamboli na bosembo na miso Ye.
if thou wilt hear the voice of the Lord thy God, to keep his commandments, all that I charge thee this day, to do that which is good and pleasing before the Lord thy God.
