Deteronomi 21
1 Soki kati na mokili oyo Yawe, Nzambe na bino, akopesa bino mpo na kozwa, bakuti moto akufa alali na elanga, bongo moto oyo abomaki ye ayebani te,
If one be founde slaine in the lande, which the Lord thy God giueth thee to possesse it, lying in the field, and it is not knowe who hath slaine him,
2 bampaka mpe basambisi na bino basengeli kobima mpo na komeka molayi, kobanda na esika oyo ebembe ezali kino na bingumba ya zingazinga,
Then thine Elders and thy Iudges shall come forth, and measure vnto the cities that are round about him that is slayne.
3 mpo na koyeba engumba oyo eleki pene. Bongo bampaka ya engumba yango bakozwa mwana ngombe ya mwasi oyo nanu basaleli mosala te mpe nanu bakangi ekangiseli na kingo te;
Aud let ye Elders of that citie, which is next vnto the slaine man, take out of the droue an heifer that hath not bene put to labour, nor hath drawen in the yoke.
4 bakomema mwana ngombe yango ya mwasi na lubwaku oyo, kati na yango, basala nanu mosala ya bilanga te mpe balona nanu ata eloko moko te, na esika oyo mayi ezali kotiola. Ezali kuna nde bampaka bakobuka yango kingo.
And let the Elders of that citie bring the heifer vnto a stonie valley, which is neyther eared nor sowen, and strike off the heifers necke there in the valley.
5 Banganga-Nzambe, bana mibali ya Levi, bakopusana; pamba te ezali bango nde Yawe, Nzambe na bino, apona mpo na kosala mosala na Ye, mpo na kopambola bato na Kombo na Yawe mpe mpo na kokata makambo tango nyonso kowelana mpe kozokisana ezali.
Also the Priests the sonnes of Leui (whom the Lord thy God hath chosen to minister, and to blesse in the name of the Lord) shall come forth, and by their word shall all strife and plague be tried.
6 Bongo bampaka ya engumba yango bakosukola maboko na bango na likolo ya mwana ngombe ya mwasi oyo bakobuka kingo na lubwaku
And all the Elders of that citie that came neere to the slayne man, shall wash their hands ouer the heifer that is beheaded in the valley:
7 mpe bakoloba: « Maboko na biso esopaki makila oyo te, mpe miso na biso emonaki te tango likambo yango esalemaki.
And shall testifie, and say, Our handes haue not shed this blood, neither haue our eies seene it.
8 Eh Yawe, ndima kolimbisa masumu ya Isalaele, bato na Yo, oyo osikolaki. Kotangela bango ngambo te ya makila ya moto oyo ayebi likambo te. » Boye, Yawe akolimbisa bango mpo na makila oyo etangaki.
O Lord, be mercifull vnto thy people Israel, whom thou hast redeemed, and lay no innocent blood to the charge of thy people Israel, and the blood shalbe forgiuen them.
9 Na nzela wana nde bokolongola, kati na bino, ngambo ya kosopa makila ya moto oyo ayebi likambo te wana bokosala likambo ya bosembo na miso ya Yawe.
So shalt thou take away the cry of innocet blood from thee, when thou shalt do that which is right in the sight of the Lord.
10 Tango bokokende kobundisa banguna na bino, bongo Yawe, Nzambe na bino, akabi bango na maboko na bino mpe bokangi ndambo ya bato;
Whe thou shalt go to warre against thine enemies, and the Lord thy God shall deliuer them into thine hands, and thou shalt take the captiues,
11 soki bomoni mwasi ya kitoko kati na bango mpe moko kati na bino asepeli na ye, akoki solo kobala ye.
And shalt see among the captiues a beautifull woman, and hast a desire vnto her, and wouldest take her to thy wife,
12 Boye mobali oyo asepeli kobala mwasi yango akokotisa ye kati na ndako na ye, mpe mwasi yango akomikokola suki ya moto na ye, akomikata manzaka na ye;
Then thou shalt bring her home to thine house, and she shall shaue her head, and pare her nayles,
13 akotia pembeni bilamba oyo alataki tango bakangaki ye mpe akovanda na ndako ya mobali yango. Sima na ye kolela tata mpe mama na ye sanza mobimba, mobali yango akosangisa na ye nzoto mpe akokoma mobali na ye; bongo ye akokoma mwasi ya mobali yango.
And she shall put off the garment that shee was taken in, and she shall remaine in thine house, and bewaile her father and her mother a moneth long: and after that shalt thou go in vnto her, and marry her, and she shalbe thy wife.
14 Soki mobali asepeli lisusu na mwasi yango te, akotika ye kokende na esika nyonso oyo alingi; akoki te koteka ye to kokomisa ye lokola mowumbu, pamba te asambwisaki ye.
And if thou haue no fauour vnto her, then thou mayest let her go whither she will, but thou shalt not sell her for money, nor make marchandise of her, because thou hast humbled her.
15 Soki mobali azali na basi mibale, bongo alingaka moko koleka mosusu, mpe bango mibale baboteli ye bana, kasi mwana ya liboso azali mwana mobali ya mwasi oyo ye alingaka mingi te;
If a man haue two wiues, one loued and another hated, and they haue borne him children, both the loued and also the hated: if the first borne be the sonne of the hated,
16 tango akokabola bozwi na ye lokola libula epai ya bana na ye ya mibali; akoki te kokomisa mwana ya liboso, mwana mobali ya mwasi oyo ye alingaka koleka na esika ya mwana mobali ya mwasi oyo ye alingaka mingi te.
Then when the time commeth, that hee appointeth his sonnes to be heires of that which he hath, he may not make the sonne of the beloued first borne before the sonne of the hated, which is the first borne:
17 Kasi akozwa mwana mobali ya mwasi oyo ye alingaka mingi te lokola mwana ya liboso mpe akopesa ye biteni mibale ya biloko nyonso oyo azali na yango. Mwana mobali wana azali elembo ya liboso ya bokasi ya tata na ye, boye asengeli kozwa makoki nyonso oyo ebongi na mwana ya liboso.
But he shall acknowledge the sonne of the hated for the first borne, and giue him double portion of all that he hath: for hee is the first of his strength, and to him belongeth the right of the first borne.
18 Soki moto azali na mwana oyo azali moto makasi mpe motomboki, oyo atosaka te ezala tata to mpe mama na ye, mpe ayokelaka bango te ata soki bapesi ye etumbu,
If any man haue a sonne that is stubburne and disobedient, which wil not hearken vnto the voice of his father, nor the voyce of his mother, and they haue chastened him, and he would not obey them,
19 tata mpe mama na ye bakokanga ye mpe bakomema ye epai ya bampaka na ekuke ya engumba na bango.
Then shall his father and his mother take him, and bring him out vnto the Elders of his citie, and vnto the gate of the place where he dwelleth,
20 Bakoloba na bampaka ya engumba: « Mwana na biso oyo azali moto makasi mpe motomboki, atosaka biso te, azali lokoso mpe molangwi masanga. »
And shall say vnto the Elders of his citie, This our sonne is stubburne and disobedient, and he wil not obey our admonition: he is a riotour, and a drunkard.
21 Boye bato nyonso ya engumba na ye bakobamba ye mabanga kino akokufa. Na nzela wana nde bokolongola mabe kati na bino. Tango bana nyonso ya Isalaele bakoyoka yango, bakobanga.
Then all the men of his citie shall stone him with stones vnto death: so thou shalt take away euill from among you, that all Israel may heare it, and feare.
22 Soki moto asali mabe oyo esengi ete bapesa ye etumbu ya kufa, bongo badiembiki nzoto na ye na nzete,
If a man also haue committed a trespasse worthy of death, and is put to death, and thou hangest him on a tree,
23 ebembe na ye ekowumela te butu mobimba na nzete wana; bosengeli kokunda yango kaka na mokolo wana, pamba te moto nyonso oyo badiembiki na nzete azali na se ya bilakeli mabe ya Nzambe. Bosengeli te kokomisa mbindo mokili oyo Yawe, Nzambe na bino, apesi bino lokola libula.
His body shall not remaine all night vpon the tree, but thou shalt bury him the same day: for the curse of God is on him that is hanged. Defile not therfore thy land which the Lord thy God giueth thee to inherite.
