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.
You shall not see your brother’s ox or his sheep go astray, and hide yourself from them: you shall in any case bring them again to your brother.
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 be not near to you, or if you know him not, then you shall bring it to your own house, and it shall be with you until your brother seek after it, and you shall restore it to him again.
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.
In like manner shall you do with his ass; and so shall you do with his raiment; and with all lost thing of your brother’s, which he has lost, and you have found, shall you do likewise: you may not hide yourself.
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 your brother’s ass or his ox fall down by the way, and hide yourself from them: you shall surely help him to lift them up again.
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 woman shall not wear that which pertains to a man, neither shall a man put on a woman’s garment: for all that do so are 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.
If a bird’s nest chance to be before you in the way in any tree, or on the ground, whether they be young ones, or eggs, and the dam sitting on the young, or on the eggs, you shall not take the dam with the young:
7 Osengeli kozwa bana, kasi kotika mama ete ekende mpo ete ozala moto ya esengo mpe ozala na bomoi molayi.
But you shall in any wise let the dam go, and take the young to you; that it may be well with you, and that you may prolong your days.
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.
When you build a new house, then you shall make a battlement for your roof, that you bring not blood on your house, if any man fall from there.
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 divers seeds: lest the fruit of your seed which you have sown, and the fruit of your vineyard, be defiled.
10 Okoki kosangisa te na libaya moko, ngombe mpe ane mpo na kobalola mabele.
You shall not plow 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 garment of divers sorts, as of woolen and linen together.
12 Okotia basinga na basonge minei ya elamba oyo okolata.
You shall make you fringes on the four quarters of your clothing, with which you cover yourself.
13 Soki mobali abali mwasi mpe, sima na kosangisa na ye nzoto, asepeli na ye lisusu te,
If any man take a wife, and go in to 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 give occasions of speech against her, and bring up an evil name on her, and say, I took this woman, and when I came to her, I found her not a maid:
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 shall the father of the damsel, and her mother, take and bring forth the tokens of the damsel’s virginity to the elders of the city in 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 damsel’s father shall say to the elders, I gave my daughter to this man to wife, and he hates her;
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, see, he has given occasions of speech against her, saying, I found not your daughter a maid; and yet these are the tokens of my daughter’s virginity. And they shall spread the cloth 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 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 they shall amerce him in an hundred shekels of silver, and give them to the father of the damsel, because he has brought up an evil name on a virgin of Israel: and she shall be his wife; he may not put her away all his days.
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 thing 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 they shall bring out the damsel to the door of her father’s house, and the men of her city shall stone her with stones that she die: because she has worked folly in Israel, to play the whore in her father’s house: so shall you put evil away from among 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.
If a man be found lying with a woman married to an husband, then they shall both of them die, both the man that lay with the woman, and the woman: so shall you put away evil from 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,
If a damsel that is a virgin be betrothed to an husband, and a man find her in the city, and lie 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.
Then you shall bring them both out to the gate of that city, and you shall stone them with stones that they die; the damsel, because she cried not, being in the city; and the man, because he has humbled his neighbor’s wife: so you shall put away evil from among you.
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 a betrothed damsel in the field, and the man force her, and lie with her: then the man only that lay with her shall die.
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.
But to the damsel you shall do nothing; there is in the damsel no sin worthy of death: for as when a man rises against his neighbor, and slays him, even so is this matter:
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.
For he found her in the field, and the betrothed damsel cried, and there was none to save 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;
If a man find a damsel that is a virgin, which is not betrothed, and lay hold on her, and lie with her, and they 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.
Then the man that lay with her shall give to the damsel’s father fifty shekels of silver, and she shall be his wife; because he has humbled her, he may not put her away all his days.
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, nor discover his father’s skirt.
