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] sons of your God YHWH; you do not cut yourselves, nor make 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] a holy people to your God YHWH, and YHWH has fixed on you to be to Him for a people, a peculiar treasure, out of all the peoples who [are] on the face of the ground.
3 Bokoki te kolia ata eloko moko ya mbindo.
You do not eat any abomination;
4 Tala banyama oyo bokoki kolia: ngombe, meme, ntaba,
this [is] the beast which you eat: ox, lamb of the sheep, or kid of the goats,
5 mbuli, mboloko, pambi, ntaba ya zamba, meme ya zamba, mbita mpe mpakasa.
deer, and roe, and fallow deer, and wild goat, and ibex, and antelope, and zemer;
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 dividing the hoof, and cleaving the cleft into two hooves, bringing up the cud, among the beasts—you eat it.
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.
Only, this you do not eat, of those bringing up the cud, and of those dividing the cloven hoof: the camel, and the hare, and the hyrax, for they are bringing up the cud, but the hoof has not divided—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 sow, for it is dividing the hoof, and not [bringing] up the cud—it [is] unclean to you; you do not eat of their flesh, and you do not come against their carcass.
9 Kati na bikelamu nyonso oyo evandaka na mayi, bokoki kolia nyonso oyo ezali na binyanyeli mpe biteku.
This you eat of all which [are] in the waters: anything that has fins and scales you eat;
10 Kasi bokolia te nyonso oyo ezangi binyanyeli mpe biteku: ezali mbindo mpo na bino.
and anything which does not have fins and scales you do not eat—it [is] unclean to you.
11 Bokolia ndeke nyonso oyo ezangi mbindo.
Any clean bird you eat;
12 Kasi tala bandeke oyo bokolia te: mpongo, engondo, mpongo ya ebale monene,
and these [are] they of which you do not eat: the eagle, and the bearded vulture, and the osprey,
13 kombekombe ya mwindo, bandeke ya lolenge nyonso oyo eliaka misuni, nzengo ya lolenge nyonso,
and the kite, and the falcon, and the vulture after 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 nightjar [[or male ostrich]], and the seagull, and the hawk after its kind;
16 Esulungutu, esulungutu ya monene, esulungutu ya pembe,
the little owl, and the great owl, and the waterhen,
17 libeke, ndeke oyo eliaka misuni ya kopola, libata ya mayi,
and the pelican, and the Egyptian vulture, and the cormorant,
18 nkoko, mokwela ya lolenge nyonso, kengele mpe lolema.
and the stork, and the heron after 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 every teeming thing which is flying—it [is] unclean to you; they are not eaten;
20 Nzokande, bokoki kolia nyonso oyo ezali na mapapu mpe ezangi mbindo.
any clean bird you 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 do not eat of any carcass; you give it to the sojourner who [is] within your gates, and he has eaten it; or sell [it] to a stranger; for you [are] a holy people to your God YHWH. You do 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.
You certainly tithe all the increase of your seed which the field is bringing 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 have eaten before your God YHWH, in the place where He chooses to cause His Name to dwell, the tithe of your grain, of your new wine, and of your oil, and the firstlings of your herd, and of your flock, so that you learn to fear your God YHWH [for] all the days.
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 when the way is too much for you, that you are not able to carry it—when the place is too far off from you which your God YHWH chooses to put His Name there, when your God YHWH blesses 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 have given [it] in money, and have bound up the money in your hand, and gone to the place on which your God YHWH fixes;
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 have given the money for anything which your soul desires, for oxen, and for sheep, and for wine, and for strong drink, and for anything which your soul asks for, and you have eaten before your God YHWH there, and you have rejoiced, you 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.
As for the Levite who [is] within your gates, you do not forsake him, for he has no portion and 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 bring out all the tithe of your increase in that year, and have placed [it] 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 has come in—for he has no part and inheritance with you—and the sojourner, and the fatherless, and the widow, who [are] within your gates, and they have eaten, and been satisfied, so that your God YHWH blesses you in all the work of your hand which you do.”
