Deteronomi 14
1 Bozali bana ya Yawe, Nzambe na bino: Bokoki te komikata nzoloko mpe kokokola suki ya mito na bino soki moto akufi,
You are the children of the Lord your God: you shall not make any baldness between you 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 you are a holy people to the Lord your God, and the Lord your God has chosen you to be a peculiar people to himself of all the nations on the face of the earth.
3 Bokoki te kolia ata eloko moko ya mbindo.
You shall not eat any abominable thing.
4 Tala banyama oyo bokoki kolia: ngombe, meme, ntaba,
These [are] the beasts which you shall eat; the calf of the herd, and lamb of the sheep, and kid of the goats;
5 mbuli, mboloko, pambi, ntaba ya zamba, meme ya zamba, mbita mpe mpakasa.
the stag, and doe, and pygarg, and wild goat, and camelopard.
6 Bokoki lisusu kolia nyama nyonso oyo ezali na litindi epasuka na kati-kati mpe ezongisaka na monoko biloko oyo ewuti na libumu.
Every beast that divides the hoofs, and makes claws of two divisions, and that chews the cud amongst beasts, these you shall 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.
And these you shall not eat of them that chew the cud, and of those that divide the hoofs, and make distinct claws; the camel, and the hare, and the rabbit; because they chew the cud, and do not divide the hoof, these 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 as for the swine, because he divides the hoof, and makes claws of the hoof, yet he chews not the cud, he is unclean to you; you shall not eat of their flesh, you shall not touch their dead bodies.
9 Kati na bikelamu nyonso oyo evandaka na mayi, bokoki kolia nyonso oyo ezali na binyanyeli mpe biteku.
And these you shall eat of all that are in the water, you shall eat all that have fins and scales.
10 Kasi bokolia te nyonso oyo ezangi binyanyeli mpe biteku: ezali mbindo mpo na bino.
And all that have not fins and scales you shall not eat; they are unclean to you.
11 Bokolia ndeke nyonso oyo ezangi mbindo.
You shall eat every clean bird.
12 Kasi tala bandeke oyo bokolia te: mpongo, engondo, mpongo ya ebale monene,
And these of them you shall not eat; the eagle, and the ossifrage, and the sea-eagle,
13 kombekombe ya mwindo, bandeke ya lolenge nyonso oyo eliaka misuni, nzengo ya lolenge nyonso,
and the vulture, and the kite and the like to it,
14 bayanganga ya lolenge nyonso:
15 maligbanga, kumu, ndeke ya ebale monene mpe bakombekombe ya lolenge nyonso.
and the sparrow, and the owl, and the cormorant,
16 Esulungutu, esulungutu ya monene, esulungutu ya pembe,
and the heron, and the swan, and the stork,
17 libeke, ndeke oyo eliaka misuni ya kopola, libata ya mayi,
and the cormorant, and the hawk, and its like, and the hoopoe, and the raven,
18 nkoko, mokwela ya lolenge nyonso, kengele mpe lolema.
and the pelican, and the diver and the like to it, and the red-bill and the bat.
19 Bokoki kolia te banyama nyonso ya mike-mike oyo ezali na mapapu, ezali mbindo mpo na bino.
All winged animals that creep are unclean to you; you shall not eat of them.
20 Nzokande, bokoki kolia nyonso oyo ezali na mapapu mpe ezangi mbindo.
You shall eat every clean bird.
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.
You shall eat nothing that dies of itself; it shall be given to the sojourner in your cities and he shall eat it, or you shall sell it to a stranger, because you are a holy people to the Lord your God. You shall not boil a lamb in his mother's milk.
22 Mibu nyonso, bokotia pembeni eteni ya zomi ya biloko nyonso oyo bilanga na bino ekobota.
You shall tithe a tenth of all the produce of your seed, the fruit of your 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 you shall eat it in the place which the Lord your God shall choose to have his name called there; you shall bring the tithe of your corn and of your wine, and of your oil, the firstborn of your herd and of your flock, that you may learn to fear the Lord your 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 journey be too far for you, and you are not able to bring them, because the place [is] far from you which the Lord your God shall choose to have his name called there, because the Lord your God will bless you;
25 okoteka eteni na yo ya zomi; bongo mbongo oyo okozwa, okokende na yango na esika oyo Yawe, Nzambe na yo, akopona.
then you shall sell them for money, and you shall take the money in your hands, and you shall go to the place which the Lord your 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 you shall give the money for whatever your soul shall desire, for oxen or for sheep, or for wine, or [you shall lay it out] on strong drink, or on whatever your soul may desire, and you shall eat there before the Lord your God, and you shall rejoice and your house,
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 that is in your cities, because he has not a portion or inheritance with you.
28 Na suka ya mibu misato nyonso, bokomema biteni ya zomi nyonso ya mibu wana mpe bokobomba yango na bingumba na bino.
After three years you shall bring out all the tithes of your fruits, in that year you shall lay it up in your cities.
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 shall come, because he has no part or lot with you, and the stranger, and the orphan, and the widow which is in your cities; and they shall eat and be filled, that the Lord your God may bless you in all the works which you shall do.
