Deteronomi 22

1 Soki omoni meme to ngombe ya ndeko na yo ezali koyengayenga, kotala yango pamba te, kasi kanga yango mpe zongisa yango epai ya nkolo na yango.

When you see the calf of your brother or his sheep wandering in the way, you shall not overlook them; you shall by all means turn them back to your brother, and you shall restore them to him.

2 Soki ndeko yango avandaka pembeni na yo te to oyebi ye te, mema yango na ndako na yo mpe bomba yango kino akoya koluka yango, bongo okozongisela ye yango.

And if your brother do not come near you, and you do not know him, you shall bring it into your house within; and it shall be with you until your brother shall seek them, and you shall restore them to him.

3 Okosala ndenge moko soki omoni ane ya ndeko na yo to kazaka na ye to eloko mosusu oyo ye abungisi. Kotala yango na pamba te.

Thus shall you do to his ass, and thus shall you do to his garment, and thus shall you do to every thing that your brother has lost; whatever shall have been lost by him, and you shall have found, you shall not have power to overlook.

4 Soki omoni ane ya ndeko na yo to ngombe na ye ekweyi na nzela, kotala yango na pamba te; osalisa ndeko na yo mpo na kotelemisa yango.

You shall not see the ass of your brother, or his calf, fallen in the way: you shall not overlook them, you shall surely help him to raise them up.

5 Mwasi akoki kolata bilamba ya mibali te to mpe mobali akoki te kolata bilamba ya basi, pamba te Yawe, Nzambe na bino, ayinaka moto nyonso oyo asalaka makambo ya ndenge wana.

The apparel of a man shall not be on a woman, neither shall a man put on a woman's dress; for every one that does these things is an abomination to the Lord your God.

6 Soki omoni zala ya ndeke pembeni ya nzela, ezala likolo ya nzete to na mabele, mpe mama ya ndeke evandeli bana to maki, kozwa te mama elongo na bana.

And if you should come upon a brood of birds before your face in the way or upon any tree, or upon the earth, young or eggs, and the mother be brooding on the young or the eggs, you shall not take the dam with the young ones.

7 Osengeli kozwa bana, kasi kotika mama ete ekende mpo ete ozala moto ya esengo mpe ozala na bomoi molayi.

You shall by all means let the mother go, but you shall take the young to yourself; that it may be well with you, and that you may live long.

8 Tango okotonga ndako ya sika, kozanga te kotonga mir ya mokuse zingazinga ya motondo mpo ete omema ngambo ya makila te na ndako na yo soki moto akweyi likolo ya motondo.

If you should build a new house, then shall you make a parapet to your house; so you shall not bring blood-guiltiness upon your house, if one should in any wise fall from it.

9 Kolona te lolenge mibale ya nkona na elanga na yo ya vino; noki te nyonso ekokoma bule: oyo okolona mpe bambuma ya elanga na yo ya vino.

You shall not sow your vineyard with diverse seed, lest the fruit be devoted, and whatever seed you may sow, with the fruit of your vineyard.

10 Okoki kosangisa te na libaya moko, ngombe mpe ane mpo na kobalola mabele.

You shall not plough with an ox and an ass together.

11 Okoki kolata te bilamba oyo basala na bapwale ya meme mpe na lino.

You shall not wear a mingled [garment], woollen and linen together.

12 Okotia basinga na basonge minei ya elamba oyo okolata.

You shall make fringes on the four borders of your garments, with which soever you may be clothed.

13 Soki mobali abali mwasi mpe, sima na kosangisa na ye nzoto, asepeli na ye lisusu te,

And if any one should take a wife, and dwell with her, and hate her,

14 alobi ete ezaleli ya mwasi yango ezali mabe, bongo apanzi ye sango ya mabe na koloba: « Nabalaki mwasi oyo, kasi tango nasangisi na ye nzoto, namoni ete ayebaki nzoto ya mibali, »

and attach to her reproachful words, and bring against her an evil name, and say, I took this woman, and when I came to her I found not her tokens of virginity:

15 wana tata mpe mama ya mwana mwasi, basengeli kolakisa epai na bampaka, na bikuke ya engumba, bilembo oyo ezali kolakisa ete mwana na bango ya mwasi ayebaki nzoto nanu ya mibali te.

then the father and the mother of the damsel shall take and bring out the damsel's tokens of virginity to the elders of the city to the gate.

16 Tata ya mwana mwasi akoloba na bampaka: « Nabalisaki mwana na ngai ya mwasi na mobali oyo, kasi asepeli na ye lisusu te;

And the father of the damsel shall say to the elders, I gave this my daughter to this man for a wife;

17 amoni ete ezaleli ya mwana na ngai ya mwasi ezali malamu te, yango wana alobi: ‹ Mwana mwasi oyo ayebaki nzoto ya mibali. › Kasi tala bilembo oyo ezali kolakisa ete mwana na ngai ya mwasi ayebaki nanu nzoto ya mibali te. » Boye baboti ya mwana mwasi bakofungola elamba liboso ya bampaka ya engumba,

and now he has hated her, and attaches reproachful words to her, saying, I have not found tokens of virginity with your daughter; and these [are] the tokens of my daughter's virginity. And they shall unfold the garment before the elders of the city.

18 mpe bampaka ya engumba bakozwa mobali yango mpe bakopesa ye etumbu:

And the elders of that city shall take that man, and shall chastise him,

19 bakofutisa ye lomande ya mbongo ya bibende ya palata, nkama moko, mpe bakopesa yango epai ya tata ya mwana mwasi, pamba te mobali oyo asambwisi elenge mwasi ya Isalaele oyo ayebaki nanu nzoto ya mibali te mpe akokoba kozala mwasi na ye: akoki kokabwana na ye te mikolo nyonso ya bomoi na ye.

and shall fine him a hundred shekels, and shall give [them] to the father of the damsel, because he has brought forth an evil name against a virgin of Israel; and she shall be his wife: he shall never be able to put her away.

20 Kasi soki makambo oyo bafundeli ye ezali ya solo, mpe ezali ata na elamba moko te oyo ezali kotalisa ete ayebaki nanu nzoto ya mibali te,

But if this report be true, and the tokens of virginity be not found for the damsel;

21 esengeli bamema ye libanda ya ndako ya tata na ye, mpe kuna bato ya engumba na ye bakobamba ye mabanga kino akokufa: asalaki likambo ya soni kati na Isalaele na kosalaka kindumba tango azalaki na ndako ya tata na ye. Na nzela wana nde bosengeli kolongola mabe kati na bino.

then shall they bring out the damsel to the doors of her father's house, and shall stone her with stones, and she shall die; because she has wrought folly amongst the children of Israel, to defile the house of her father by whoring: so you shall remove the evil one from amongst you.

22 Soki bakangi mobali azali kosangisa nzoto na mwasi ya mobali mosusu, bango nyonso mibale basengeli kokufa. Na nzela wana nde bosengeli kolongola mabe kati na Isalaele.

And if a man be found lying with a woman married to a man, you shall kill them both, the man that lay with the woman, and the woman: so shall you remove the wicked one out of Israel.

23 Soki kati na engumba mobali moko akutani na elenge mwasi oyo ayebi nanu nzoto ya mibali te bongo asangisi na ye nzoto, nzokande elenge mwasi yango azali na mobali oyo alingi kobala ye,

And if there be a young damsel espoused to a man, and a man should have found her in the city and have lain with her;

24 bokomema bango mibale na ekuke ya engumba wana mpe kobamba bango mabanga kino bakokufa. Bokoboma mwana mwasi, pamba te azalaki kati na engumba kasi agangaki te mpo ete baya kosunga ye; bokoboma mobali, pamba te asangisaki nzoto na makasi na mwasi ya mobali mosusu. Na nzela wana nde bosengeli kolongola mabe kati na bino.

you shall bring them both out to the gate of their city, and they shall be stoned with stones, and they shall die; the damsel, because she cried not in the city; and the man, because he humbled his neighbour's spouse: so shall you remove the evil one from yourselves.

25 Soki mobali akoti na zamba na mwasi oyo ayebi nanu nzoto ya mibali te mpe asangisi na ye nzoto na makasi, nzokande mwasi yango azali na mobali oyo alingi kobala ye, kaka mobali oyo asali likambo wana nde asengeli kokufa.

But if a man find in the field a damsel that is betrothed, and he should force her and lie with her, you shall kill the man that lay with her only.

26 Bokosala likambo moko te epai ya mwana mwasi, pamba te asali lisumu moko te oyo ekoki komema ye na kufa. Likambo oyo ekokani na moto oyo abundisi moninga na ye mpe abomi ye.

And the damsel has not [committed] a sin worthy of death; as if a man should rise up against his neighbour, and kill him, so [is] this thing;

27 Pamba te mobali wana akutanaki na mwasi wana na zamba, mpe mwana mwasi wana akokaki koganga na ndenge nyonso alingi, kasi moto moko te akokaki komonana kuna mpo na kosunga ye.

because he found her in the field; the betrothed damsel cried, and there was none to help her.

28 Soki mobali akutani na elenge mwasi, oyo ayebi nanu nzoto ya mibali te mpe azali te na mobali oyo alingi kobala ye, asangisi na ye nzoto na makasi, mpe bomoni bango;

And if any one should find a young virgin who has not been betrothed, and should force [her] and lie with her, and be found,

29 mobali wana asengeli kofuta mbongo ya bibende ya palata, tuku mitano epai ya tata ya elenge mwasi, asengeli kobala elenge mwasi yango; pamba te asangisi na ye nzoto na makasi: akoki kokabwana na ye te mikolo nyonso ya bomoi na ye.

the man who lay with her shall give to the father of the damsel fifty silver didrachmas, and she shall be his wife, because he has humbled her; he shall never be able to put her away.

30 Mwana mobali moko te akoki kobala mwasi ya tata na ye, noki te akosambwisa mbeto ya tata na ye.

A man shall not take his father's wife, and shall not uncover his father's skirt.
