Deteronomi 23
1 Mobali moko te oyo baboma mokongo to balongola nzoto ya mibali akoki kokota na lisanga ya Yawe.
Neither he that hath been mutilated by crushing, nor he that hath had his privy member cut off, shall enter into the convocation of Yahweh.
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 convocation of Yahweh, —even to the tenth generation, shall none of his enter into the convocation of Yahweh.
3 Moto moko te ya Amoni to ya Moabi to bakitani na bango bakoki kokota na lisanga ya Yawe ata sima na milongo zomi.
Neither an Ammonite nor a Moabite shall enter into the convocation of Yahweh, —even to the tenth generation, shall none that belong to them enter into the convocation of Yahweh, unto times age-abiding:
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, in the way, when ye came forth out of Egypt, —but hired against thee Balaam 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, Yahweh thy God consented not to hearken unto Balaam, but Yahweh thy God turned, for thee, the curse into a blessing, —because Yahweh 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 nor their welfare, —all thy days, unto times age-abiding.
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 thy brother, he is, —thou shalt not abhor an Egyptian, for a sojourner, becamest thou in his land;
8 Bakitani na bango, kobanda na molongo ya misato, nde bakoki kokota na lisanga ya Yawe.
the sons who are born to them, of the third generation, may enter unto them in the convocation of Yahweh.
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 thine enemies, then shalt thou beware of everything foul.
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.
When there is in thy midst a man who is not clean through a mischance of the night, then shall he go forth unto the outside of the camp, he shall not come into the midst of the camp;
11 Kasi na pokwa, na tango moyi elalaka, asengeli komisukola nzoto mpe kozonga na molako.
but it shall be, when the evening cometh on, he shall bathe himself in water, —and at the going in of the sun, he shall come into the midst of the camp.
12 Bokopona esika moko na libanda ya molako, mpo na kosala zongo.
And a place aside, shalt thou have, without the camp, —whither thou canst 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 blade, shalt thou have upon thy staff, —so shall it be, that when thou wouldest sit down outside, thou shalt dig therewith, and shalt turn back and cover that which hath passed 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, Yahweh thy God, walketh to and fro in the midst of thy camp, to rescue thee, and to deliver up thine enemies before thee, so shall thy camps be holy, —and he shall see in thee no shameful thing, that he should turn away from following thee.
15 Soki mowumbu ayei kobombama epai na yo, kozongisa ye te na maboko ya nkolo na ye.
Thou shalt not deliver up a slave unto his lord, —one who maketh his escape unto thee, from his lord:
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 remain in thy midst, in the place which he shall choose in any of thy gates where it seemeth good 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 be no female devotee of the daughters of Israel, —neither shall there be, a male devotee, 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 wages of an unchaste woman, or the hire of a dog, into the house of Yahweh thy God for any vow, —for, an abomination unto Yahweh thy God, are they both.
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 on interest to thy brother, interest of silver, interest of food, —interest of any thing that can be lent on 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 mayest lend on interest, but to thy brother, shalt thou not lend on interest, —that Yahweh thy God may bless thee, in everything where-unto thou puttest thy hand, upon the land which thou art entering to possess.
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 shalt vow a vow unto Yahweh thy God, thou shalt not delay to make it good, —for Yahweh thy God would, require, it of thee, and it should be in thee sin.
22 Kasi soki oboyi na yo kolapa ndayi, okomema ngambo te.
But, if thou refrain from vowing, it shall not be in thee sin.
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 goeth forth out of thy lips, thou must observe and do, —according as thou didst vow unto Yahweh thy God the free-will, offering of which thou didst speak 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 enterest into the vineyard of thy neighbour, then mayest thou eat grapes at thy pleasure to thy fill, -but into thy vessel, shalt thou put none.
25 Soki okoti na elanga ya ble ya moninga na yo, okoki kobuka ble na maboko, kasi kosalela mbeli te.
When thou enterest the standing corn of thy neighbour, thou mayest pluck off ears with thy hand, —but a sickle, shalt thou not wield against the standing corn of thy neighbour.
