Deteronomi 23
1 Mobali moko te oyo baboma mokongo to balongola nzoto ya mibali akoki kokota na lisanga ya Yawe.
He that is wounded in the testicles, or hath his privy member cut, shall not enter into the congregation 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 from prohibited connections shall not enter into the congregation of the Lord; even the tenth generation of him shall not enter into the congregation 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.
An 'Ammonite and a Moabite shall not enter into the congregation of the Lord; even the tenth generation of him shall not enter into the congregation of the Lord, 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.
For the reason, that they met you not with bread and with water on the way, when ye came forth out of Egypt; and because he hired against thee Bil'am the son of Beor of Pethor in 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 unto Bil'am; and the Lord thy God changed unto thee the curse into a blessing, 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 seek their peace and their welfare 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; for 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.
The children that are born unto them in the third generation, may enter of them into the congregation of the Lord.
9 Tango bokotonga milako mpo na kobundisa banguna na bino, bozala mosika na eloko nyonso oyo ezali mbindo.
When thou goest forth into camp against thy enemies, then keep thyself 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 thee any man, that is not clean by reason of an occurrence by night; then shall he go abroad to without the camp, he shall not come within the camp;
11 Kasi na pokwa, na tango moyi elalaka, asengeli komisukola nzoto mpe kozonga na molako.
But it shall be, that toward evening he shall bathe himself in water; and when the sun goeth down, he may come into the midst of the camp.
12 Bokopona esika moko na libanda ya molako, mpo na kosala zongo.
And a place shalt thou have without the camp, whither thou shalt 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 a spade shalt thou have with thy weapons: and it shall be, when thou sittest abroad, that thou shalt dig therewith, and shalt afterward cover that which cometh 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 the Lord thy God walketh in the midst of thy camp, to deliver thee and to give up thy enemies before thee; therefore shall thy camp be holy; that he see no unseemly 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 shalt not deliver unto his master the servant who may escape unto thee from his master;
16 Tika ete awumela epai na yo, na esika nyonso oyo alingi, mpe na engumba nyonso oyo aponi; konyokola ye te.
With thee shall he dwell, in the midst of thee, in the place which he may choose in any one of thy gates, where it seemeth best to him: thou shalt not oppress him.
17 Kati na bana ya Isalaele, azala mobali to mwasi, moko te asengeli komipesa na kindumba ya bule.
There shall not be a prostitute of the daughters of Israel, and there shall not 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 shalt not bring the hire of a harlot, or the price of a dog, into the house of the Lord thy God for any vow; for both of these are equally an abomination unto 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 take interest from thy brother, interest of money, interest of victuals, interest of any thing 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.
From an alien thou mayest take interest; but from thy brother thou shalt not take interest; in order that the Lord thy God may bless thee in all the acquisition of thy hand, in the land whither thou goest 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 makest a vow unto the Lord thy God, thou shalt not delay to pay it; for the Lord 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 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.
What is gone out of thy lips shalt thou keep and perform, as thou hast vowed unto the Lord thy God voluntarily, as 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.
When thou comest into thy neighbor's vineyard, thou mayest eat grapes at thy own pleasure, till thou have enough; but into thy vessel shalt thou not put any.
25 Soki okoti na elanga ya ble ya moninga na yo, okoki kobuka ble na maboko, kasi kosalela mbeli te.
When thou comest into the standing corn of thy neighbor, thou mayest pluck ears with thy hand; but a sickle shall thou not move over thy neighbor's standing corn.
