Deteronomi 18
1 Banganga-Nzambe oyo bazali Balevi, elongo na libota mobimba ya Balevi basengeli te kozwa eteni ya mabele to libula kati na Isalaele; basengeli kobika kaka na makabo bazikisa na moto mpo na Yawe mpe na libula na Ye, pamba te yango nde ezali libula na bango.
The Priests of the Leuites, and all the tribe of Leui shall haue no part nor inheritace with Israel, but shall eate the offerings of the Lord made by fire, and his inheritance.
2 Basengeli te kozala na libula kati na bandeko na bango; Yawe nde azali libula na bango ndenge alakaki bango.
Therefore shall they haue no inheritance among their brethren: for the Lord is their inheritance, as he hath sayd vnto them.
3 Tala eteni oyo Banganga-Nzambe basengeli kozwa epai na bato oyo bakobonza ngombe to meme lokola mbeka: lipeka, mbanga mpe biloko ya kati. Okopesa yango epai ya Nganga-Nzambe oyo azali kosala mosala.
And this shalbe the Priests duetie of the people, that they, which offer sacrifice, whether it be bullocke or sheepe, shall giue vnto the Priest the shoulder, and the two cheekes, and the mawe.
4 Okopesa ye bambuma na yo ya liboso ya ble, ya vino ya sika, ya mafuta mpe bapwale nyonso ya liboso oyo okolongola na bameme na yo;
The first fruites also of thy corne, of thy wine, and of thine oyle, and the first of the fleece of thy sheepe shalt thou giue him.
5 pamba te Yawe, Nzambe na yo, aponi ye elongo na bakitani na ye kati na bikolo na yo nyonso mpo na kotelema mpe kosala tango nyonso mosala na Kombo na Yawe kati na Tempelo.
For the Lord thy God hath chosen him out of all thy tribes, to stande and minister in the Name of the Lord, him, and his sonnes for euer.
6 Soki moko kati na Balevi alongwe na engumba moko kati na bingumba ya Isalaele epai wapi azalaki kovanda, mpe ayei ndenge motema na ye elingi, na esika oyo Yawe Nzambe akopona;
Also when a Leuite shall come out of any of thy cities of all Israel, where hee remained, and come with all the desire of his heart vnto the place, which the Lord shall chuse,
7 asengeli kosala na Kombo na Yawe, Nzambe na ye, ndenge bandeko na ye nyonso Balevi bazali kosala kuna na miso ya Yawe.
He shall then minister in the Name of the Lord his God, as all his brethren the Leuites, which remaine there before the Lord.
8 Akozwa eteni ya ndenge moko na bango na oyo etali biloko ya kolia, bakisa mbongo oyo akozwa tango bakoteka biloko ya libota.
They shall haue like portions to eat beside that which commeth of his sale of his patrimonie.
9 Tango okokota na mokili oyo Yawe, Nzambe na yo, akopesa yo, okomekola te misala ya mbindo ya bikolo oyo ezali kuna.
When thou shalt come into ye land which the Lord thy God giueth thee, thou shalt not learne to do after ye abominations of those nations.
10 Moto moko te kati na yo akobonza na moto mwana na ye ya mobali to ya mwasi epai ya moto oyo asalelaka soloka, kindoki, oyo atalaka minzoto mpo na kosakola makambo, oyo asalelaka maji
Let none be founde among you that maketh his sonne or his daughter to goe thorough the fire, or that vseth witchcraft, or a regarder of times, or a marker of the flying of foules, or a sorcerer,
11 to moto oyo asalelaka makambo ya nkuku to moto oyo atunaka milimo to nganga-kisi to moto oyo asololaka na bakufi.
Or a charmer, or that counselleth with spirits, or a soothsaier, or that asketh counsel at ye dead.
12 Moto nyonso oyo asalaka makambo oyo, azali mbindo na miso ya Yawe; mpe ezali mpo na makambo nyonso oyo ya nkele nde Yawe, Nzambe na bino, akobengana bikolo wana liboso na bino.
For all that doe such things are abomination vnto the Lord, and because of these abominations the Lord thy God doeth cast them out before thee.
13 Bosengeli kozala bato bazangi pamela liboso ya Yawe, Nzambe na bino.
Thou shalt be vpright therefore with the Lord thy God.
14 Bikolo oyo bokobotola ezali bikolo oyo elandaka bato wana, esalelaka kindoki mpe soloka. Kasi mpo na bino, Yawe, Nzambe na bino, akoki te kopesa bino nzela ya kosala bongo.
For these nations which thou shalt possesse, hearken vnto those that regarde the times, and vnto sorcerers: as for thee, the Lord thy God hath not suffred thee so.
15 Yawe, Nzambe na bino, akobimisela bino mosakoli moko lokola ngai, oyo akowuta kati na bandeko na bino; bosengeli koyoka ye.
The Lord thy God will raise vp vnto thee a Prophet like vnto me, from among you, euen of thy brethren: vnto him ye shall hearken,
16 Yango nde likambo oyo bosengaki epai na Yawe, Nzambe na bino, na ngomba Orebi, na mokolo ya mayangani, tango bolobaki: « Toboyi koyoka lisusu mongongo ya Yawe, Nzambe na biso, to komona lisusu moto makasi oyo, noki te tokokufa. »
According to al that thou desiredst of the Lord thy God in Horeb, in the day of the assemblie, when thou saidest, Let me heare the voice of my Lord God no more, nor see this great fire any more, that I die not.
17 Yawe alobaki na ngai: « Makambo oyo balobi ezali malamu.
And the Lord sayde vnto me, They haue well spoken.
18 Nakobimisa kati na bandeko na bango mosakoli moko lokola yo; nakotia maloba na Ngai kati na monoko na ye, mpe akoyebisa bango nyonso oyo Ngai nakotinda ye.
I will raise them vp a Prophet from among their brethren like vnto thee, and will put my woordes in his mouth, and he shall speake vnto them all that I shall commaund him.
19 Soki moto aboyi koyoka maloba na Ngai, oyo mosakoli yango akoloba na Kombo na Ngai, Ngai moko nakopesa ye etumbu.
And whosoeuer will not hearken vnto my wordes, which he shall speake in my Name, I will require it of him.
20 Kasi soki mosakoli moko alobi ete azali koloba na Kombo na Ngai, bongo alobi likambo moko oyo Ngai natindi ye te to azali koloba na kombo ya banzambe mosusu, basengeli koboma ye.
But the prophet that shall presume to speake a worde in my name, which I haue not commanded him to speake, or that speaketh in the name of other gods, euen the same prophet shall die.
21 Tango mosusu bokoki komituna: ‹ Ndenge nini tokoki koyeba ete maloba oyo azali koloba ewuti solo epai na Yawe te? ›
And if thou thinke in thine heart, Howe shall we knowe the worde which the Lord hath not spoken?
22 Soki makambo oyo mosakoli alobi na Kombo na Yawe ekokisami te to esalemi te, wana maloba yango ewutaki na Yawe te. Mosakoli wana alobaki kaka na ndenge na ye moko, bobanga ye te. »
When a prophet speaketh in the Name of the Lord, if the thing follow not nor come to passe, that is the thing which the Lord hath not spoken, but the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously: thou shalt not therefore be afraid of him.
