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 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 you are an holy people to the LORD your God, and the LORD has chosen you to be a peculiar people to himself, above all the nations that are on 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 ox, the sheep, and the goat,

5 mbuli, mboloko, pambi, ntaba ya zamba, meme ya zamba, mbita mpe mpakasa.

The hart, and the roebuck, and the fallow deer, and the wild goat, and the pygarg, and the wild ox, 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 separates the cleft into two claws, and chews the cud among the beasts, that 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.

Nevertheless these you shall not eat of them that chew the cud, or of them that divide the cloven hoof; as the camel, and the hare, and the coney: for they chew the cud, but divide not the hoof; therefore 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 it divides the hoof, yet chews not the cud, it is unclean to you: you shall not eat of their flesh, nor touch their dead carcass.

9 Kati na bikelamu nyonso oyo evandaka na mayi, bokoki kolia nyonso oyo ezali na binyanyeli mpe biteku.

These you shall eat of all that are in the waters: all that have fins and scales shall you eat:

10 Kasi bokolia te nyonso oyo ezangi binyanyeli mpe biteku: ezali mbindo mpo na bino.

And whatever has not fins and scales you may not eat; it is unclean to you.

11 Bokolia ndeke nyonso oyo ezangi mbindo.

Of all clean birds you shall eat.

12 Kasi tala bandeke oyo bokolia te: mpongo, engondo, mpongo ya ebale monene,

But these are they of which you shall not eat: the eagle, and the ossifrage, and the ospray,

13 kombekombe ya mwindo, bandeke ya lolenge nyonso oyo eliaka misuni, nzengo ya lolenge nyonso,

And the glede, and the kite, and the vulture after his kind,

14 bayanganga ya lolenge nyonso:

And every raven after his kind,

15 maligbanga, kumu, ndeke ya ebale monene mpe bakombekombe ya lolenge nyonso.

And the owl, and the night hawk, and the cuckow, and the hawk after his kind,

16 Esulungutu, esulungutu ya monene, esulungutu ya pembe,

The little owl, and the great owl, and the swan,

17 libeke, ndeke oyo eliaka misuni ya kopola, libata ya mayi,

And the pelican, and the gier eagle, and the cormorant,

18 nkoko, mokwela ya lolenge nyonso, kengele mpe lolema.

And the stork, and the heron after her kind, and the lapwing, and the bat.

19 Bokoki kolia te banyama nyonso ya mike-mike oyo ezali na mapapu, ezali mbindo mpo na bino.

And every creeping thing that flies is unclean to you: they shall not be eaten.

20 Nzokande, bokoki kolia nyonso oyo ezali na mapapu mpe ezangi mbindo.

But of all clean fowls you 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.

You shall not eat of anything that dies of itself: you shall give it to the stranger that is in your gates, that he may eat it; or you may sell it to an alien: for you are an holy people to the LORD your God. You shall not seethe a kid in his mother’s milk.

22 Mibu nyonso, bokotia pembeni eteni ya zomi ya biloko nyonso oyo bilanga na bino ekobota.

You shall truly tithe all the increase of your seed, that the field brings forth 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 before the LORD your God, in the place which he shall choose to place his name there, the tithe of your corn, of your wine, and of your oil, and the firstborn of your herds and of your flocks; 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 way be too long for you, so that you are not able to carry it; or if the place be too far from you, which the LORD your God shall choose to set his name there, when the LORD your God has blessed you:

25 okoteka eteni na yo ya zomi; bongo mbongo oyo okozwa, okokende na yango na esika oyo Yawe, Nzambe na yo, akopona.

Then shall you turn it into money, and bind up the money in your hand, and 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 bestow that money for whatever your soul lusts after, for oxen, or for sheep, or for wine, or for strong drink, or for whatever your soul desires: and you shall eat there before the LORD your God, and you shall rejoice, you, and your 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 that is within your gates; you shall not forsake him; for he has no part nor 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.

At the end of three years you shall bring forth all the tithe of your increase the same year, and shall lay it up within your 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 part nor inheritance with you, ) and the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow, which are within your gates, shall come, and shall eat and be satisfied; that the LORD your God may bless you in all the work of your hand which you do.
