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 dost not see the ox of thy brother or his sheep driven away, and hast hidden thyself from them, thou dost certainly turn them back to 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.
and if thy brother [is] not near unto thee, and thou hast not known him, then thou hast removed it unto the midst of thy house, and it hath been with thee till thy brother seek it, and thou hast given it back 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.
and so thou dost to his ass, and so thou dost to his garment, and so thou dost to any lost thing of thy brother's, which is lost by him, and thou hast found it; thou art not able to hide 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 dost not see the ass of thy brother, or his ox, falling in the way, and hast hid thyself from them; thou dost certainly raise [them] up with him.
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 habiliments of a man are not on a woman, nor doth a man put on the garment of a woman, for the abomination of Jehovah thy God [is] any one doing these.
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.
'When a bird's nest cometh before thee in the way, in any tree, or on the earth, brood or eggs, and the mother sitting on the brood or on the eggs, thou dost not take the mother with the young ones;
7 Osengeli kozwa bana, kasi kotika mama ete ekende mpo ete ozala moto ya esengo mpe ozala na bomoi molayi.
thou dost certainly send away the mother, and the young ones dost take to thyself, so that it is well with thee, and thou hast prolonged 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, then thou hast made a parapet to thy roof, and thou dost not put blood on thy house when one falleth 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.
'Thou dost not sow thy vineyard [with] divers things, lest the fulness of the seed which thou dost sow, and the increase of the vineyard, be separated.
10 Okoki kosangisa te na libaya moko, ngombe mpe ane mpo na kobalola mabele.
'Thou dost not plow with an ox and with an ass together.
11 Okoki kolata te bilamba oyo basala na bapwale ya meme mpe na lino.
'Thou dost not put on a mixed cloth, wool and linen together.
12 Okotia basinga na basonge minei ya elamba oyo okolata.
'Fringes thou dost make to thee on the four skirts of thy covering with which thou dost cover [thyself].
13 Soki mobali abali mwasi mpe, sima na kosangisa na ye nzoto, asepeli na ye lisusu te,
'When a man taketh a wife, and hath gone in unto her, and hated 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 laid against her actions of words, and brought out against her an evil name, and said, This woman I have taken, and I draw near unto her, and I have not found in 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 hath the father of the damsel — and her mother — taken and brought out the tokens of virginity of the damsel unto 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 father of the damsel hath said unto the elders, My daughter I have given to this man for a wife, and he doth hate 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 actions of words, saying, I have not found to thy daughter tokens of virginity — and these [are] the tokens of the virginity of my daughter! and they have spread out 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 have taken the 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 fined him a hundred silverlings, and given to the father of the damsel, because he hath brought out an evil name on a virgin of Israel, and she is to him for a wife, he is not able to send 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,
'And if this thing hath been truth — tokens of virginity have not been 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 have brought out the damsel unto the opening of her father's house, and stoned her have the men of her city with stones, and she hath died, for she hath done folly in Israel, to go a-whoring [in] her father's house; and thou hast put away the evil thing out of thy midst.
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.
'When a man is found lying with a woman, married to a husband, then they have died even both of them, the man who is lying with the woman, also the woman; and thou hast put away the evil thing 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,
'When there is a damsel, a virgin, betrothed to a man, and a man hath found her in a city, and 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.
then ye have brought them both out unto the gate of that city, and stoned them with stones, and they have died: — the damsel, because that she hath not cried, [being] in a city; and the man, because that he hath humbled his neighbour's wife; and thou hast put away the evil thing out of thy midst.
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.
'And if in a field the man find the damsel who is betrothed, and the man hath laid hold on her, and lain with her, then hath the man who hath lain with her died 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.
and to the damsel thou dost not do anything, the damsel hath no deadly sin; for as a man riseth against his neighbour and hath murdered him — the life, 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.
for in a field he found her, she hath cried — the damsel who is betrothed — and she hath no saviour.
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;
'When a man findeth a damsel, a virgin who is not betrothed, and hath caught her, and lain with her, and they have been 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 hath the man who is lying with her given to the father of the damsel fifty silverlings, and to him she is for a wife; because that he hath humbled her, he is not able to send 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 doth not take his father's wife, nor uncover his father's skirt.
