Deteronomi 14
1 Bozali bana ya Yawe, Nzambe na bino: Bokoki te komikata nzoloko mpe kokokola suki ya mito na bino soki moto akufi,
Ye are the sons of Jehovah your God. Ye shall not cut yourselves, nor make any baldness between your eyes for the dead.
2 pamba te bozali libota ya bule mpo na Yawe, Nzambe na bino. Yawe aponaki bino kati na bato nyonso oyo bazali kati na mokili mpo ete bozala libota ya motuya mpo na Ye.
For thou are a holy people to Jehovah thy God, and Jehovah has chosen thee to be a people for his own possession, above all peoples that are upon the face of the earth.
3 Bokoki te kolia ata eloko moko ya mbindo.
Thou shall not eat any abominable thing.
4 Tala banyama oyo bokoki kolia: ngombe, meme, ntaba,
These are the beasts which ye may eat: the ox, the sheep, and the goat,
5 mbuli, mboloko, pambi, ntaba ya zamba, meme ya zamba, mbita mpe mpakasa.
the hart, and the gazelle, and the roebuck, and the wild goat, and the ibex, and the antelope, and the chamois.
6 Bokoki lisusu kolia nyama nyonso oyo ezali na litindi epasuka na kati-kati mpe ezongisaka na monoko biloko oyo ewuti na libumu.
And every beast that parts the hoof, and has the hoof cloven in two, and chews the cud, among the beasts, that may ye eat.
7 Kasi, kati na banyama oyo ezongisaka na monoko biloko oyo ewuti na libumu kasi litindi na yango epasuka te na kati-kati, tala banyama oyo bosengeli te kolia: shamo, mpanya ya matoyi milayi mpe mpanya ya zamba; pamba te ezongisaka na monoko biloko oyo ewuti na libumu, kasi litindi na yango epasuka te na kati-kati: ezali mbindo mpo na bino.
Nevertheless of those that chew the cud, or of those that have the hoof cloven, these ye shall not eat: the camel, and the hare, and the coney, because they chew the cud but do not part the hoof, they are unclean to you,
8 Nzokande ngulu ezali na litindi epasuka na kati-kati kasi ezongisaka te na monoko biloko oyo ewuti na libumu. Boye, ngulu ezali mbindo; bosengeli te kolia mosuni na yango to kosimba ebembe na yango.
and the swine, because he parts the hoof but does not chew the cud, he is unclean to you. Of their flesh ye shall not eat, and their carcasses ye shall not touch.
9 Kati na bikelamu nyonso oyo evandaka na mayi, bokoki kolia nyonso oyo ezali na binyanyeli mpe biteku.
These ye may eat of all that are in the waters: whatever has fins and scales ye may eat.
10 Kasi bokolia te nyonso oyo ezangi binyanyeli mpe biteku: ezali mbindo mpo na bino.
And whatever does not have fins and scales ye shall not eat; it is unclean to you.
11 Bokolia ndeke nyonso oyo ezangi mbindo.
Of all clean birds ye may eat,
12 Kasi tala bandeke oyo bokolia te: mpongo, engondo, mpongo ya ebale monene,
but these are those of which ye shall not eat: the eagle, and the ossifrage, and the osprey,
13 kombekombe ya mwindo, bandeke ya lolenge nyonso oyo eliaka misuni, nzengo ya lolenge nyonso,
and the glede, and the falcon, and the kite according to its kind,
14 bayanganga ya lolenge nyonso:
and every raven after its kind,
15 maligbanga, kumu, ndeke ya ebale monene mpe bakombekombe ya lolenge nyonso.
and the ostrich, and the night-hawk, and the sea-gull, and the hawk according to its kind,
16 Esulungutu, esulungutu ya monene, esulungutu ya pembe,
the little owl, and the great owl, and the horned owl,
17 libeke, ndeke oyo eliaka misuni ya kopola, libata ya mayi,
and the pelican, and the vulture, and the cormorant,
18 nkoko, mokwela ya lolenge nyonso, kengele mpe lolema.
and the stork, and the heron according to its kind, and the hoopoe, and the bat.
19 Bokoki kolia te banyama nyonso ya mike-mike oyo ezali na mapapu, ezali mbindo mpo na bino.
And all winged creeping things are unclean to you. They shall not be eaten.
20 Nzokande, bokoki kolia nyonso oyo ezali na mapapu mpe ezangi mbindo.
Of all clean birds ye may eat.
21 Bokoki kolia te nyama oyo bokuti ya kokufa; bokopesa yango epai ya mopaya oyo azali kovanda kati na engumba na bino; ye akoki na ye kolia yango; soki te bokoki na bino koteka yango epai ya moleki nzela, pamba te bozali libota ya bule mpo na Yawe, Nzambe na bino. Bokoki te kolamba mwana ntaba oyo ezali nanu komela mabele.
Ye shall not eat of anything that dies of itself. Thou may give it to the sojourner who is within thy gates, that he may eat it, or thou may sell it to a foreigner, for thou are a holy people to Jehovah thy God. Thou shall not boil a kid in its mother's milk.
22 Mibu nyonso, bokotia pembeni eteni ya zomi ya biloko nyonso oyo bilanga na bino ekobota.
Thou shall surely tithe all the increase of thy seed; that which comes forth from the field year by year.
23 Na miso ya Yawe, Nzambe na bino, mpe na esika oyo akopona mpo na kotia Kombo na Ye, bokolia eteni ya zomi ya ble na bino, ya vino ya sika mpe ya mafuta, bana nyonso ya liboso ya bangombe na bino, ya bantaba na bino mpe ya bameme na bino. Na bongo, bokoyekola kotosa Yawe, Nzambe na bino.
And thou shall eat before Jehovah thy God, in the place which he shall choose to cause his name to dwell there, the tithe of thy grain, of thy new wine, and of thine oil, and the firstlings of thy herd and of thy flock, that thou may learn to fear Jehovah thy God always.
24 Kasi soki esika yango ezali mosika mingi mpo na yo komema eteni na yo ya zomi epai na Yawe, Nzambe na yo, pamba te esika oyo Yawe aponaki mpo na kotia Kombo na Ye ezali mosika mingi, wana Nzambe na yo apamboli yo,
And if the way is too long for thee, so that thou are not able to carry it, because the place is too far from thee, which Jehovah thy God shall choose to set his name there when Jehovah thy God shall bless thee,
25 okoteka eteni na yo ya zomi; bongo mbongo oyo okozwa, okokende na yango na esika oyo Yawe, Nzambe na yo, akopona.
then thou shall turn it into money, and bind up the money in thy hand, and shall go to the place which Jehovah thy God shall choose.
26 Okosalela mbongo yango mpo na kosomba eloko nyonso oyo olingi: ngombe, meme, ntaba, vino to masanga nyonso oyo elangwisaka to eloko nyonso oyo olingi. Bongo yo elongo na ndako na yo mobimba, bokoki kolia yango na esika wana, liboso ya Yawe, Nzambe na yo, mpe okosepela elongo na libota na yo.
And thou shall bestow the money for whatever thy soul desires, for oxen, or for sheep, or for wine, or for strong drink, or for whatever thy soul asks of thee. And thou shall eat there before Jehovah thy God, and thou shall rejoice, thou and thy household.
27 Kobosana te Balevi oyo bazali kati na bingumba na bino mpo ete bazali ata na eteni ya mabele te to libula mpo na bango moko.
And the Levite who is within thy gates, thou shall not forsake him, for he has no portion nor inheritance with thee.
28 Na suka ya mibu misato nyonso, bokomema biteni ya zomi nyonso ya mibu wana mpe bokobomba yango na bingumba na bino.
At the end of every three years thou shall bring forth all the tithe of thine increase in the same year, and shall lay it up within thy gates.
29 Na bongo, Balevi oyo bazali na eteni ya mabele te to na libula te mpo na bango moko elongo na bapaya, bana bitike mpe basi bakufisa mibali oyo bavandaka na bingumba na bino, bakoya kolia mpe kotonda mpo ete Yawe, Nzambe na bino, akoka kopambola bino na misala na bino nyonso ya maboko.
And the Levite, because he has no portion nor inheritance with thee, and the sojourner, and the fatherless, and the widow, who are within thy gates, shall come, and shall eat and be satisfied, that Jehovah thy God may bless thee in all the work of thy hand which thou do.
