Deteronomi 16

1 Batela sanza ya Abibi mpe sepela feti ya Pasika mpo na Yawe, Nzambe na yo, pamba te ezalaki na butu moko ya sanza yango nde Yawe abimisaki yo na Ejipito.

Observe the month of Abib, and keep the passover to the LORD your God: for in the month of Abib the LORD your God brought you forth out of Egypt by night.

2 Tala biloko oyo okobonza lokola mbeka ya Pasika mpo na Yawe, Nzambe na yo, na esika oyo akopona mpo na kotia Kombo na Ye: ngombe ya mobali, meme ya mobali mpe ntaba ya mwasi.

You shall therefore sacrifice the passover to the LORD your God, of the flock and the herd, in the place which the LORD shall choose to place his name there.

3 Okolia yango te na mapa oyo basangisa na levire. Kasi mikolo sambo, okolia mapa ezanga levire, mapa ya pasi, pamba te obimaki na Ejipito na lombangu. Okosalaka bongo na mikolo nyonso ya bomoi na yo mpo ete okanisaka mokolo oyo obimaki na Ejipito.

You shall eat no leavened bread with it; seven days shall you eat unleavened bread therewith, even the bread of affliction; for you came forth out of the land of Egypt in haste: that you may remember the day when you came forth out of the land of Egypt all the days of your life.

4 Tika ete levire emonana te epai na yo, kati na mokili na yo nyonso mikolo sambo. Kotika te ete nyama oyo babonzi na pokwa ya mokolo ya liboso etikala kino na tongo.

And there shall be no leavened bread seen with you in all your coast seven days; neither shall there any thing of the flesh, which you sacrificed the first day at even, remain all night until the morning.

5 Okoki te kobonza mbeka ya Pasika kati na bingumba nyonso oyo Yawe, Nzambe na bino, apesi yo.

You may not sacrifice the passover within any of your gates, which the LORD your God gives you:

6 Ezali kaka na esika oyo Yawe, Nzambe na yo, akopona mpo na kotia Kombo na Ye nde bokobonza mbeka ya Pasika. Bokosala yango na pokwa, tango moyi elalaka, ngonga oyo obimaki na Ejipito.

But at the place which the LORD your God shall choose to place his name in, there you shall sacrifice the passover at even, at the going down of the sun, at the season that you came forth out of Egypt.

7 Okolamba mpe okolia yango na esika oyo Yawe, Nzambe na yo, akopona. Bongo na tongo, okozonga na ndako na yo.

And you shall roast and eat it in the place which the LORD your God shall choose: and you shall turn in the morning, and go to your tents.

8 Mikolo motoba, okolia mapa ezanga levire; bongo na mokolo ya sambo, okosala feti monene mpo na Yawe, Nzambe na yo; okosala mosala moko te.

Six days you shall eat unleavened bread: and on the seventh day shall be a solemn assembly to the LORD your God: you shall do no work therein.

9 Okotanga baposo sambo, kobanda na mokolo oyo okotia mbeli na elanga ya ble mpo na kobuka ble yango.

Seven weeks shall you number to you: begin to number the seven weeks from such time as you begin to put the sickle to the corn.

10 Okosala feti ya Baposo mpo na Yawe, Nzambe na yo; okobonzela Ye makabo wuta na mokano ya motema na yo moko kolanda mapamboli oyo Yawe, Nzambe na yo, akopesa yo.

And you shall keep the feast of weeks to the LORD your God with a tribute of a freewill offering of your hand, which you shall give to the LORD your God, according as the LORD your God has blessed you:

11 Okosepela liboso ya Yawe, Nzambe na yo, na esika oyo akopona mpo na kotia Kombo na Ye: yo, bana na yo ya mibali, bana na yo ya basi, bawumbu na yo ya mibali, basi bawumbu na yo, Balevi oyo bazali kati na bingumba na yo, bapaya, bana bitike mpe basi bakufisa mibali oyo bazali kovanda kati na yo.

And you shall rejoice before the LORD your God, you, and your son, and your daughter, and your manservant, and your maidservant, and the Levite that is within your gates, and the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow, that are among you, in the place which the LORD your God has chosen to place his name there.

12 Kobosana te ete ozalaki mowumbu kati na Ejipito mpe salela malamu mitindo oyo.

And you shall remember that you were a slave in Egypt: and you shall observe and do these statutes.

13 Mpo na oyo etali feti ya Bandako ya kapo, okosala yango mikolo sambo sima na yo kosangisa bambuma na yo ya ble mpe kokamola vino na yo.

You shall observe the feast of tabernacles seven days, after that you have gathered in your corn and your wine:

14 Okozala na esengo na feti yango: yo, bana na yo ya mibali mpe ya basi, bawumbu na yo ya mibali, basi bawumbu na yo, Balevi, bapaya, bana bitike mpe basi bakufisa mibali oyo bazali kati na bingumba na yo.

And you shall rejoice in your feast, you, and your son, and your daughter, and your manservant, and your maidservant, and the Levite, the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow, that are within your gates.

15 Mikolo sambo, okosala yango feti mpo na Yawe, Nzambe na yo, na bisika oyo Yawe akopona; pamba te Yawe, Nzambe na yo, akopambola milona na yo mpe misala nyonso ya maboko na yo; bongo esengo na yo ekozala mingi koleka.

Seven days shall you keep a solemn feast to the LORD your God in the place which the LORD shall choose: because the LORD your God shall bless you in all your increase, and in all the works of your hands, therefore you shall surely rejoice.

16 Mbala misato na mobu, mibali nyonso basengeli kokende liboso ya Yawe, Nzambe na yo, na esika oyo Ye akopona: na feti ya Mapa ezanga levire, na feti ya Baposo, mpe na feti ya Bandako ya kapo. Moko te akokende liboso ya Yawe, maboko pamba:

Three times in a year shall all your males appear before the LORD your God in the place which he shall choose; in the feast of unleavened bread, and in the feast of weeks, and in the feast of tabernacles: and they shall not appear before the LORD empty:

17 moko na moko kati na bino asengeli komema likabo kolanda mapamboli oyo Yawe, Nzambe na yo, apesi ye.

Every man shall give as he is able, according to the blessing of the LORD your God which he has given you.

18 Okopona basambisi mpe bakalaka kati na bikolo na yo nyonso, kati na bingumba nyonso oyo Yawe, Nzambe na yo, akopesa yo. Bakokata makambo ya bato na bosembo.

Judges and officers shall you make you in all your gates, which the LORD your God gives you, throughout your tribes: and they shall judge the people with just judgment.

19 Okobebisaka bosembo te, okoponaka bilongi te, okondimaka kanyaka te, pamba te ezipaka miso ya bato ya bwanya mpe ebebisaka maloba ya bato ya sembo.

You shall not wrest judgment; you shall not respect persons, neither take a gift: for a gift does blind the eyes of the wise, and pervert the words of the righteous.

20 Okosalelaka bosembo mpe bosembo kaka, mpo ete owumela mpe okamata mokili oyo Yawe, Nzambe na yo, akopesa yo.

That which is altogether just shall you follow, that you may live, and inherit the land which the LORD your God gives you.

21 Okotelemisa te likonzi ya nzambe mwasi Ashera pembeni ya etumbelo oyo okotonga mpo na Yawe, Nzambe na yo.

You shall not plant you a grove of any trees near to the altar of the LORD your God, which you shall make you.

22 Okotelemisa te libanga ya bule, pamba te Yawe, Nzambe na yo, ayinaka nyonso wana.

Neither shall you set you up any image; which the LORD your God hates.
