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.
When a man hath taken a wife, and married her, and it come to pass, that if she find no favor in his eyes, because he hath found some scandalous thing in her, he may write her a bill of divorcement, and give it in her hand, and send her away out of his house;
2 Sima na kobima na ndako ya mobali wana, mwasi yango akoki kobala mobali mosusu.
And she shall depart out of his house; and if she go and become another man's wife;
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 the latter husband hate her, and write her a bill of divorcement, and give it in her hand, and send her away out of his house; or if the latter husband, who took her as his wife, should die:
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.
Then shall her former husband, who had sent her away, not be at liberty to take her again to be his wife, after she hath been defiled; for it is abomination before the Lord; and thou shalt not bring sin upon the land, which the Lord thy God giveth thee for an inheritance.
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 taken a new wife, he shall not go out to war, neither shall he be charged with any public business: he shall be free for his house one year, and shall cheer up his wife whom he hath taken.
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.
No man shall take to pledge the nether or the upper millstone; for he taketh a man's life to pledge.
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 a man be found stealing any one of his brethren of the children of Israel, and he treateth him as a slave, and selleth him: then shall that thief die; and thou shalt put the evil away 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.
Take heed of the plague of leprosy, to observe diligently, and to do according to all that the priests, the Levites, may instruct you; as I have commanded them, so shall ye observe to do.
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 thy God did unto Miriam on the journey, at your coming forth out of Egypt.
10 Soki odefisi eloko epai ya moninga na yo, kokota te na ndako na ye mpo na kozwa ndanga.
When thou dost lend thy brother any thing as a loan, thou shalt not go into his house to take his pledge.
11 Vanda kaka na libanda kino moto oyo adefaki epai na yo akomemela yo ndanga.
In the street shalt thou stand, and the man to whom thou dost lend shall bring out unto thee the pledge into the street.
12 Soki moto yango azali mobola, kokende kolala te na ndanga oyo asimbisaki yo mpo na niongo.
And if he be a poor man, thou shalt not lie down with his pledge:
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.
Thou shalt punctually deliver him the pledge again when the sun goeth down, that he may lie under his own cover, and bless thee; and unto thee shall it be as righteousness 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 withhold the wages of a hired man, of the poor and needy, [whether he be] of thy brethren, or of the strangers that are in thy land 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.
On the same day shalt thou give him his wages, that the sun may not go down upon it; for he is poor, and his soul longeth for it; so that he may not cry against thee unto the Lord, and it be sin in thee.
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.
Fathers shall not be put to death for the children, neither shall children be put to death for the fathers: for his own sin shall every man be put to death.
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 cause of the stranger, or of the fatherless; and thou shalt not take in pledge the raiment of a widow;
18 Bobosana te ete bino mpe bozalaki bawumbu na Ejipito; mpe Yawe, Nzambe na bino, asikolaki bino kuna.
But thou shalt remember that thou waste a bond-man in Egypt, and that the Lord thy God redeemed thee thence; therefore do 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 cuttest down thy harvest in thy field, and forgettest a sheaf in the field, thou shalt not go back to fetch it; for the stranger, for the fatherless, and for the widow shall it be; in order that the Lord thy God may bless thee in all the work 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.
When thou beatest thy olive-tree, thou shalt not go over the boughs again; for the stranger, for the fatherless, and for the widow shall it be.
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.
When thou gatherest the grapes of thy vineyard, thou shalt not glean the small fruit afterward; for the stranger, for the fatherless, and for the widow shall it be.
22 Bokanisa ete bozalaki bawumbu na Ejipito. Yango wana natindi bino kotosa mibeko oyo.
And thou shalt remember that thou wast a bond-man in the land of Egypt; therefore do I command thee to do this thing:
