Deteronomi 24
1 Soki mobali abali mwasi mpe, sima na mikolo, asepeli na ye lisusu te mpo ete amoni eloko moko ya mabe kati na ye, tika ete akoma mokanda ya koboma libala mpe apesa ye yango; bongo na sima, abimisa ye na ndako na ye.
If a man take a wife, and have her, and she find not favour in his eyes, for some uncleanness: he shall write a bill of divorce, and shall give it in her hand, and send her out of his house.
2 Sima na kobima na ndako ya mobali wana, mwasi yango akoki kobala mobali mosusu.
And when she is departed, and marrieth another husband,
3 Mpe soki esali ete mobali oyo ya mibale mpe asepeli na ye lisusu te, tika ete ye mpe akokoma mokanda mpo na koboma libala mpe apesa ye yango, bongo na sima, abimisa ye na ndako na ye; to soki esali ete mobali oyo ya mibale akufi,
And he also hateth her, and hath given her a bill of divorce, and hath sent her out of his house or is dead:
4 boye mobali na ye ya liboso, oyo abenganaki ye na libala, akoki lisusu te kozongisa ye na libala, pamba te mwasi yango akomi mbindo liboso na ye: kozongisa ye lisusu na libala ezali likambo ya nkele na miso ya Yawe. Boyeisa lisumu te na mokili oyo Yawe, Nzambe na bino, akopesa bino lokola libula.
The former husband cannot take her again to wife: because she is defiled, and is become abominable before the Lord: lest thou cause thy land to sin, which the Lord thy God shall give thee to possess.
5 Soki mobali abali sika, bakoki te kotinda ye na bitumba to kopesa ye mosala songolo; akozala na bonsomi mobu mobimba mpo ete avanda na ndako na ye mpo na kosepelisa mwasi oyo asili kobala.
When a man hath lately taken a wife, he shall not go out to war, neither shall any public business be enjoined him, but he shall be free at home without fault, that for one year he may rejoice with his wife.
6 Bokanga te lokola ndanga, mabanga mibale oyo moninga anikaka na yango ble: mingi koleka libanga oyo ya moke, pamba te kosala bongo ezali lokola kokanga ye nzela oyo abikelaka.
Thou shalt not take the nether, nor the upper millstone to pledge: for he hath pledged his life to thee.
7 Soki moto moko ya Isalaele ayibi ndeko na ye ya Isalaele mpe akomisi ye mowumbu to ateki ye, basengeli koboma moto wana. Na nzela wana nde bosengeli kolongola mabe kati na bino.
If any man be found soliciting his brother of the children of Israel, and selling him shall take a price, he shall be put to death, and thou shalt take away the evil from the midst of thee.
8 Mpo na makambo oyo etali bokono ya maba, bosala keba ete bosalela malamu malako nyonso oyo Banganga-Nzambe, ba-oyo bazali Balevi, bapesaki bino. Bosengeli kotosa malamu makambo oyo natindaki bango.
Observe diligently that thou incur not the stroke of the leprosy, but thou shalt do whatsoever the priests of the Levitical race shall teach thee, according to what I have commanded them, and fulfill thou it carefully.
9 Bobosana te makambo oyo Yawe, Nzambe na bino, asalaki epai ya Miriami, na nzela, sima na bino kobima na Ejipito.
Remember what the Lord your God did to Mary, in the way when you came out of Egypt.
10 Soki odefisi eloko epai ya moninga na yo, kokota te na ndako na ye mpo na kozwa ndanga.
When thou shalt demand of thy neighbour any thing that he oweth thee, thou shalt not go into his house to take away a pledge:
11 Vanda kaka na libanda kino moto oyo adefaki epai na yo akomemela yo ndanga.
But then shalt stand without, and he shall bring out to thee what he hath.
12 Soki moto yango azali mobola, kokende kolala te na ndanga oyo asimbisaki yo mpo na niongo.
But if he be poor, the pledge shall not lodge with thee that night,
13 Okozongisela ye ndanga na ye ya kazaka ye, na pokwa, mpo ete alala na yango. Bongo, ye akopambola yo; mpe ekozala mpo na yo likambo ya sembo na miso ya Yawe, Nzambe na yo.
But thou shalt restore it to him presently before the going down of the sun: that he may sleep in his own raiment and bless thee, and thou mayst have justice before the Lord thy God.
14 Konyokola te moto ya mosala oyo azali mobola to moto akelela: azala ndeko na yo moto ya Isalaele to mopaya oyo azali kovanda kati na moko ya bingumba na yo.
Thou shalt not refuse the hire of the needy, and the poor, whether he be thy brother, or a stranger that dwelleth with thee in the land, and is within thy gates:
15 Pesa ye lifuti na ye ya mokolo na mokolo na pokwa, pamba te azali mobali mpe atiaka elikya na lifuti yango, noki te akoganga epai na Yawe na tina na yo mpe okosala lisumu.
But thou shalt pay him the price of his labour the same day, before the going down of the sun, because he is poor, and with it maintaineth his life: lest he cry against thee to the Lord, and it be reputed to thee for a sin.
16 Bakoboma batata te mpo na bana na bango to mpe bakoboma bana te mpo na batata na bango; bakoboma moto na moto mpo na masumu na ye moko.
The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, nor the children for the fathers, but every one shall die for his own sin.
17 Bokoki te kokata na ndenge ya mabe, makambo mpo na mopaya to mpo na mwana etike; to kokamata kazaka ya mwasi oyo akufisa mobali lokola ndanga.
Thou shalt not pervert the judgment of the stranger nor of the fatherless, neither shalt thou take away the widow’s raiment for a pledge.
18 Bobosana te ete bino mpe bozalaki bawumbu na Ejipito; mpe Yawe, Nzambe na bino, asikolaki bino kuna.
Remember that thou wast a slave in Egypt, and the Lord thy God delivered thee from thence. Therefore I command thee to do this thing.
19 Tango bokobuka mbuma na bilanga na bino, soki bobosani liboke ya ble, bozonga te mpo na kozwa yango; botika yango mpo na mopaya, mpo na mwana etike mpe mpo na mwasi oyo akufisa mobali mpo ete Yawe, Nzambe na bino, apambola bino na misala nyonso oyo maboko na bino ekosala.
When thou hast reaped the corn in thy field, and hast forgot and left a sheaf, thou shalt not return to take it away: but thou shalt suffer the stranger, and the fatherless and the widow to tabs it away: that the Lord thy God may bless thee in all the works of thy hands.
20 Tango bokoningisa bambuma ya olive na banzete na yango, bobuka te oyo ekotikala na bitape; botika yango mpo na bapaya, bana bitike mpe mpo na basi bakufisa mibali.
If thou have gathered the fruit of thy olive trees, thou shalt not return to gather whatsoever remaineth on the trees: but shalt leave it for the stranger, for the fatherless, and the widow.
21 Tango bokobuka bambuma na bilanga na bino ya vino, bokozongela te kobuka na mbala ya mibale. Botika oyo ekotikala mpo na mopaya, mpo na mwana etike mpe mpo na mwasi oyo akufisa mobali.
If thou make the vintage of thy vineyard, thou shalt not gather the clusters that remain, but they shall be for the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow.
22 Bokanisa ete bozalaki bawumbu na Ejipito. Yango wana natindi bino kotosa mibeko oyo.
Remember that thou also wast a bondman in Egypt, and therefore I command thee to do this thing.
