Deteronomi 23
1 Mobali moko te oyo baboma mokongo to balongola nzoto ya mibali akoki kokota na lisanga ya Yawe.
He who is wounded in the testicles, or has his private part cut off, shall not enter into the assembly of Jehovah.
2 Mwana makangu moko te to bakitani na ye bakoki kokota na lisanga ya Yawe ata sima na milongo zomi.
A bastard shall not enter into the assembly of Jehovah, even to the tenth generation none of his shall enter into the assembly of Jehovah.
3 Moto moko te ya Amoni to ya Moabi to bakitani na bango bakoki kokota na lisanga ya Yawe ata sima na milongo zomi.
An Ammonite or a Moabite shall not enter into the assembly of Jehovah, even to the tenth generation none belonging to them shall enter into the assembly of Jehovah forever,
4 Pamba te bayaki te koyamba bino na mapa mpe na mayi na nzela na bino tango bobimaki na Ejipito; mpe bazwaki Balami, mwana mobali ya Beori, moto ya Petori, wuta na mokili ya Mezopotami, mpo ete alakela bino mabe.
because they met you not with bread and with water on the way, when ye came forth out of Egypt, and because they hired against thee Balaam the son of Beor from Pethor of Mesopotamia, to curse thee.
5 Kasi Yawe, Nzambe na bino, ayokaki Balami te mpe abongolaki elakeli mabe lipamboli mpo na bino, pamba te Yawe, Nzambe na bino, alingi bino.
Nevertheless Jehovah thy God would not hearken to Balaam, but Jehovah thy God turned the curse into a blessing to thee, because Jehovah thy God loved thee.
6 Tango nyonso bokozala na bomoi, bokoki te kosala boyokani ya kimia elongo na bango.
Thou shall not seek their peace nor their prosperity all thy days forever.
7 Bokoki te komona bato ya Edomi lokola bato ya mbindo, pamba te bazali bandeko na bino. Bokoki te komona bato ya Ejipito lokola bato ya mbindo, pamba te bovandaki kati na mokili na bango lokola bapaya.
Thou shall not abhor an Edomite, for he is thy brother. Thou shall not abhor an Egyptian, because thou were a sojourner in his land.
8 Bakitani na bango, kobanda na molongo ya misato, nde bakoki kokota na lisanga ya Yawe.
The sons of the third generation who are born to them shall enter into the assembly of Jehovah.
9 Tango bokotonga milako mpo na kobundisa banguna na bino, bozala mosika na eloko nyonso oyo ezali mbindo.
When the army goes forth against thine enemies, then thou shall keep thee from every evil thing.
10 Soki mobali moko kati na bino azali mbindo, pamba te abimisaki mayi ya mibali na butu, asengeli kokende libanda ya molako mpe kovanda kuna.
If there be among you any man, who is not clean by reason of an accident by night, then he shall go abroad out of the camp. He shall not come inside the camp.
11 Kasi na pokwa, na tango moyi elalaka, asengeli komisukola nzoto mpe kozonga na molako.
But it shall be, when evening comes on, he shall bathe himself in water, and when the sun is down, he shall come inside the camp.
12 Bokopona esika moko na libanda ya molako, mpo na kosala zongo.
Thou shall have a place also outside the camp, where thou shall go forth abroad.
13 Moto na moto, kati na bisalelo na ye, asengeli kozala na pawu ya moke mpo na kotimola mabele; mpe soki akei kosala zongo inene, akotimola mwa libulu mpe akokunda nyei na ye.
And thou shall have a paddle among thy weapons, and it shall be, when thou sit down abroad, thou shall dig with it, and shall turn back and cover that which comes from thee.
14 Pamba te Yawe, Nzambe na bino, atambolaka kati na molako na bino mpo na kobatela bino mpe kokangola bino na maboko ya banguna na bino. Molako na bino esengeli kozala bule mpo ete akoka komona te eloko moko ya mbindo kati na bino mpe apesa bino mokongo te.
For Jehovah thy God walks in the midst of thy camp, to deliver thee, and to give up thine enemies before thee. Therefore thy camp shall be holy, that he may not see an unclean thing in thee, and turn away from thee.
15 Soki mowumbu ayei kobombama epai na yo, kozongisa ye te na maboko ya nkolo na ye.
Thou shall not deliver to his master a servant who is escaped from his master to thee.
16 Tika ete awumela epai na yo, na esika nyonso oyo alingi, mpe na engumba nyonso oyo aponi; konyokola ye te.
He shall dwell with thee, in the midst of thee, in the place which he shall choose within one of thy gates, where it pleases him best. Thou shall not oppress him.
17 Kati na bana ya Isalaele, azala mobali to mwasi, moko te asengeli komipesa na kindumba ya bule.
There shall be no prostitute of the daughters of Israel, neither shall there be a sodomite of the sons of Israel.
18 Bosengeli te kokotisa na Tempelo ya Yawe, Nzambe na bino, lifuti ya mwasi ya ndumba to ya mobali ya ndumba, mpo na kokokisa ndayi ya lolenge nyonso, pamba te Yawe, Nzambe na bino, amonaka bango nyonso mibale nkele.
Thou shall not bring the hire of a harlot, or the wages of a dog, into the house of Jehovah thy God for any vow, for even both these are an abomination to Jehovah thy God.
19 Okoki te kozwa mileki epai ya ndeko na yo tango odefisi ye mosolo, bilei to eloko mosusu oyo ekoki kobota mileki.
Thou shall not lend upon interest to thy brother: interest of money, interest of food, interest of anything that is lent upon interest.
20 Okoki kozwa mileki epai ya mopaya, kasi epai ya ndeko na yo moto ya Isalaele te; mpo ete Yawe, Nzambe na bino, apambola bino na misala nyonso oyo maboko na bino ekosala kati na mokili oyo bokokota mpo na kozwa.
To a foreigner thou may lend upon interest, but to thy brother thou shall not lend upon interest, that Jehovah thy God may bless thee in all that thou put thy hand to, in the land where thou go in to possess it.
21 Soki olapi ndayi epai na Yawe, Nzambe na yo, kowumela te mpo na kokokisa yango; noki te Yawe, Nzambe na yo, akotuna yo yango mpe ekozala lisumu mpo na yo.
When thou shall vow a vow to Jehovah thy God, thou shall not be slack to pay it. For Jehovah thy God will surely require it of thee, and it would be sin in thee.
22 Kasi soki oboyi na yo kolapa ndayi, okomema ngambo te.
But if thou shall forbear to vow, it shall be no sin in thee.
23 Likambo nyonso oyo bibebu na yo ekobimisa, osengeli kosalela yango, pamba te olapaki ndayi epai na Yawe, Nzambe na yo, na monoko na yo moko mpe wuta na mokano ya motema na yo.
That which has gone out of thy lips thou shall observe and do, according as thou have vowed to Jehovah thy God, a freewill offering, which thou have promised with thy mouth.
24 Soki okoti na elanga ya vino ya moninga na yo, okoki kolia bambuma nyonso oyo olingi, kasi kotia eloko moko te na kitunga na yo.
When thou come into thy neighbor's vineyard, then thou may eat thy fill of grapes at thine own pleasure, but thou shall not put any in thy vessel.
25 Soki okoti na elanga ya ble ya moninga na yo, okoki kobuka ble na maboko, kasi kosalela mbeli te.
When thou come into thy neighbor's standing grain, then thou may pluck the ears with thy hand, but thou shall not move a sickle to thy neighbor's standing grain.
