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.
Thou shalt not see thy brother's ox or his lamb go astray, and withdraw thyself from them: thou shalt surely bring them back again unto thy 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.
But if thy brother be not nigh unto thee, or thou know him not: then shalt thou take it unto thy own house, and it shall remain with thee until thy brother inquire after it, and then shalt thou restore it 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.
In like manner shalt thou do with his ass; and in like manner shalt thou do with his raiment; and in like manner shalt thou do with every lost thing of thy brother's, which may have been lost to him, and which thou hast found; thou art not at liberty to withdraw thyself.
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.
Thou shalt not see thy brother's ass or his ox fallen down by the way, and withdraw thyself from them: thou shalt 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.
A woman shall not have upon her the apparel of a man, and a man shall not put on a woman's garment; for an abomination unto the Lord thy God are all who do this.
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 thee in the way, on any tree, or on the ground, with young ones, or with eggs, and the mother be sitting upon the young, or upon the eggs: thou shalt not take the mother with the young;
7 Osengeli kozwa bana, kasi kotika mama ete ekende mpo ete ozala moto ya esengo mpe ozala na bomoi molayi.
But thou shalt surely let the mother go, and the young thou mayest take to thyself; in order that it may be well with thee, and that thou mayest live many 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 thou buildest a new house, thou shalt make a battlement for thy roof; that thou bring not blood upon thy house, if any one were to 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.
Thou shalt not sow thy vineyard with divers seeds; that the ripe fruit of thy seed which thou hast sown, and the fruit of the vineyard, be not defiled.
10 Okoki kosangisa te na libaya moko, ngombe mpe ane mpo na kobalola mabele.
Thou shalt not plough with an ox and an ass together.
11 Okoki kolata te bilamba oyo basala na bapwale ya meme mpe na lino.
Thou shalt not wear a garment of divers sorts, of woolen and linen together.
12 Okotia basinga na basonge minei ya elamba oyo okolata.
Thou shalt make thyself fringes upon the four corners of thy vesture, wherewith thou coverest thyself.
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 unto 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 he lay an accusation against her, and spread abroad an evil name upon her, and say, This woman I took [for wife], and when I came near to her, I found no tokens of virginity in her:
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 unto 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 unto the elders, My daughter I gave unto this man for wife; but he hath conceived hatred toward 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, lo, he hath laid an accusation [against her], saying, I have found no tokens of virginity in thy daughter; 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 a hundred shekels of silver, and give them unto the father of the damsel; because he hath spread abroad an evil name upon a virgin of Israel; and she shall remain his wife; he shall not be at liberty to 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 was true, there have not been found tokens of virginity in 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 lead 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 hath wrought a disgraceful deed in Israel, to commit incest in her father's house; and thou shalt put away the evil from the midst of thee.
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 a husband: then shall both of them die, the man that lieth with the woman, and the woman; and thou shalt put away the 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 unto a man, 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 shall ye lead them both out unto the gate of that city, and ye shall stone them with stones that they die; the damsel, because she cried not [for aid] in the city; and the man, because he hath done violence to his neighbor's wife; and thou shalt put away the evil from the midst of thee.
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 in the field the man should find the betrothed damsel, and the man take hold of her by force, and lie with her: then shall the man that lay with her die alone;
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 unto the damsel shalt thou not do any thing; there is in the damsel no sin worthy of death; for as when a man riseth against his neighbor, and striketh him dead. 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 in the field did he find her; had the betrothed damsel even cried, there would have been none to aid 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, who is not betrothed, and lay fast 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 shall the man who lieth with her give unto the father of the damsel fifty shekels of silver; and she shall become his wife, because he hath done violence to her, he shall not be at liberty to 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 lather's wife, and he shall not uncover his father's skirt.
