Deteronomi 23
1 Mobali moko te oyo baboma mokongo to balongola nzoto ya mibali akoki kokota na lisanga ya Yawe.
He that is fractured or mutilated in his private parts shall not enter into the assembly of the Lord.
2 Mwana makangu moko te to bakitani na ye bakoki kokota na lisanga ya Yawe ata sima na milongo zomi.
[One born] of a harlot shall not enter into the assembly of the Lord.
3 Moto moko te ya Amoni to ya Moabi to bakitani na bango bakoki kokota na lisanga ya Yawe ata sima na milongo zomi.
The Ammanite and Moabite shall not enter into the assembly of the Lord, even until the tenth generation he shall not enter into the assembly of the Lord, even for ever:
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 water by the way, when ye went out of Egypt; and because they hired against thee Balaam the son of Beor 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.
But the Lord thy God would not hearken to Balaam; and the Lord thy God changed the curses into blessings, because the Lord thy God loved thee.
6 Tango nyonso bokozala na bomoi, bokoki te kosala boyokani ya kimia elongo na bango.
Thou shalt not speak peaceably or profitably to them all thy days for ever.
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 shalt not abhor an Edomite, because he is thy brother; thou shalt not abhor an Egyptian, because thou wast a stranger in his land.
8 Bakitani na bango, kobanda na molongo ya misato, nde bakoki kokota na lisanga ya Yawe.
If sons be born to them, in the third generation they shall enter into the assembly of the Lord.
9 Tango bokotonga milako mpo na kobundisa banguna na bino, bozala mosika na eloko nyonso oyo ezali mbindo.
And if thou shouldest go forth to engage with thine enemies, then thou shalt keep thee from every wicked 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 should be in thee a man who is not clean by reason of his issue by night, then he shall go forth out of the camp, and he shall not enter into the camp.
11 Kasi na pokwa, na tango moyi elalaka, asengeli komisukola nzoto mpe kozonga na molako.
And it shall come to pass toward evening he shall wash his body with water, and when the sun has gone down, he shall go into the camp.
12 Bokopona esika moko na libanda ya molako, mpo na kosala zongo.
And thou shalt have a place outside of the camp, and thou shalt go out thither,
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 shalt have a trowel on thy girdle; and it shall come to pass when thou wouldest relieve thyself abroad, that thou shalt dig with it, and shalt bring back the earth and cover thy nuisance.
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.
Because the Lord thy God walks in thy camp to deliver thee, and to give up thine enemy before thy face; and thy camp shall be holy, and there shall not appear in thee a disgraceful thing, and [so] he shall turn away from thee.
15 Soki mowumbu ayei kobombama epai na yo, kozongisa ye te na maboko ya nkolo na ye.
Thou shalt not deliver a servant to his master, who [coming] from his master attaches himself 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, he shall dwell among you where he shall please; thou shalt not afflict him.
17 Kati na bana ya Isalaele, azala mobali to mwasi, moko te asengeli komipesa na kindumba ya bule.
There shall not be a harlot of the daughters of Israel, and there shall not be a fornicator of the sons of Israel; there shall not be an idolatress of the daughters of Israel, and there shall not be an initiated person 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 shalt not bring the hire of a harlot, nor the price of a dog into the house of the Lord thy God, for any vow; because even both are an abomination to the Lord 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 shalt not lend to thy brother on usury of silver, or usury of meat, or usury of any thing which thou mayest lend out.
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.
Thou mayest lend on usury to a stranger, but to thy brother thou shalt not lend on usury; that the Lord thy God may bless thee in all thy works upon the land, into which thou art entering to inherit 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.
And if thou wilt vow a vow to the Lord thy God, thou shalt not delay to pay it; for the Lord thy God will surely require it of thee, and [otherwise] it shall be sin in thee.
22 Kasi soki oboyi na yo kolapa ndayi, okomema ngambo te.
But if thou shouldest be unwilling to vow, it is not 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.
Thou shalt observe the words that proceed from between thy lips; and as thou hast vowed a gift to the Lord God, [so] shalt thou do that which thou hast spoken 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.
And if thou shouldest go into the corn field of thy neighbour, then thou mayest gather the ears with thy hands; but thou shalt not put the sickle to thy neighbour's corn.
25 Soki okoti na elanga ya ble ya moninga na yo, okoki kobuka ble na maboko, kasi kosalela mbeli te.
And if thou shouldest go into the vineyard of thy neighbour, thou shalt eat grapes sufficient to satisfy thy desire; but thou mayest not put them into a vessel.
