Deteronomi 26
1 Tango bokokota na mokili oyo Yawe, Nzambe na bino, akopesa bino lokola libula, tango bokozwa yango mpe bokovanda kuna,
And it shall be when you shall have entered into the land, which the Lord your God gives you to inherit it, and you shall have inherited it, and you shall have lived upon it,
2 moko na moko kati na bino akozwa ndambo ya bambuma ya liboso ya biloko nyonso oyo akozwa na mabele ya mokili oyo Yawe, Nzambe na bino, akopesa bino; akotia yango na kitunga mpe akokende na esika oyo Yawe, Nzambe na bino, akopona mpo na kotia Kombo na Ye.
that you shall take of the first of the fruits of your land, which the Lord your God gives you, and you shall put them into a basket, and you shall go to the place which the Lord your God shall choose to have his name called there.
3 Akoloba na Nganga-Nzambe oyo akozala na mosala na tango wana: « Natatoli lelo liboso ya Yawe, Nzambe na yo, ete nakomi na mokili oyo Yawe alakaki kopesa na bakoko na biso na nzela ya ndayi. »
And you shall come to the priest who shall be in those days, and you shall say to him, I testify this day to the Lord my God, that I am come into the land which the Lord sware to our fathers to give to us.
4 Nganga-Nzambe akozwa kitunga na maboko na ye mpe akokitisa yango liboso ya etumbelo ya Yawe, Nzambe na bino.
And the priest shall take the basket out of your hands, and shall set it before the altar of the Lord your God:
5 Bongo okoloba liboso ya Yawe, Nzambe na yo: « Koko na ngai azalaki moto ya Arami oyo azalaki koyengayenga; akendeki na Ejipito na bato moke, awumelaki kuna mpe akomaki ekolo monene, ekolo ya nguya mpe ya bato ebele.
and he shall answer and say before the Lord your God, My father abandoned Syria, and went down into Egypt, and sojourned there with a small number, and became there a mighty nation and a great multitude.
6 Kasi bato ya Ejipito banyokolaki biso, bayokisaki biso pasi mpe bapesaki biso misala makasi.
And the Egyptians afflicted us, and humbled us, and imposed hard tasks on us:
7 Boye togangaki epai na Yawe, Nzambe ya bakoko na biso. Wana ayokaki mingongo na biso, amonaki mawa, pasi mpe minyoko na biso;
and we cried to the Lord our God, and the Lord heard our voice, and saw our humiliation, and our labor, and our affliction.
8 Yawe abimisaki biso na Ejipito na somo makasi, na bilembo minene mpe na bikamwa, na nzela ya loboko na Ye ya nguya mpe esembolama.
And the Lord brought us out of Egypt himself with his great strength, and his mighty hand, and his high arm, and with great visions, and with signs, and with wonders.
9 Amemaki biso na esika oyo mpe apesaki biso mokili oyo, mokili oyo ezali kobimisa miliki mpe mafuta ya nzoyi.
And he brought us into this place, and gave us this land, a land flowing with milk and honey.
10 Sik’oyo oh Yawe, tala, namemi bambuma ya liboso ya mabele oyo opesaki ngai. » Sima na yango, okotia kitunga liboso ya Yawe, Nzambe na yo, mpe okogumbama liboso na Ye.
And now, behold, I have brought the first of the fruits of the land, which you gave me, O Lord, a land flowing with milk and honey: and you shall leave it before the Lord your God, and you shall worship before the Lord your God;
11 Boye, na biloko nyonso ya malamu oyo Yawe, Nzambe na yo, akopesa yo mpe bandeko na yo; okosepela na yango elongo na Balevi mpe bapaya oyo bazali kati na bino.
and you shall rejoice in all the good [things], which the Lord your God has given you, [you] and your family, and the Levite, and the stranger that is within you.
12 Na mobu nyonso ya misato, mobu ya eteni ya zomi, tango okosilisa kotia pembeni eteni ya zomi ya biloko nyonso oyo okozwa, okopesa yango epai ya Balevi, epai ya bapaya, epai ya bana bitike mpe epai ya basi bakufisa mibali; mpo ete balia yango na bingumba na yo mpe batonda.
And when you shall have completed all the tithings of your fruits in the third year, you shall give the second tenth to the Levite, and stranger, and fatherless, and widow; and they shall eat it in your cities, and be merry.
13 Bongo okotatola maloba oyo epai na Yawe, Nzambe na yo: « Nalongolaki kati na ndako na ngai eteni ya bule mpe napesi yango epai ya Balevi, bapaya, bana bitike mpe basi bakufisa mibali, kolanda makambo nyonso oyo otindaki ngai. Napengwaki te na mitindo na Yo mpe nabosanaki yango te.
And you shall say before the Lord your God, I have fully collected the holy things out of my house, and I have given them to the Levite, and the stranger, and the orphan, and the widow, according to all commands which you did command me: I did not transgress your command, and I did not forget it.
14 Naliaki ata eteni moko te ya bule tango nazalaki na matanga, nalongolaki eloko moko te kati na yango tango nazalaki mbindo mpe nabonzaki eloko moko te kati na yango epai ya bakufi. Natosaki Yawe, Nzambe na ngai, mpe nasalaki makambo nyonso oyo otindaki ngai.
And in my distress I did not eat of them, I have not gathered of them for an unclean purpose, I have not given of them to the dead; I have listened to the voice of the Lord our God, I have done as you have commanded me.
15 Tala wuta likolo, esika na Yo ya bule epai wapi ovandaka, mpe pambola Isalaele, bato na Yo, mpe mokili oyo opesaki biso ndenge olakaki yango epai ya bakoko na biso na nzela ya ndayi, mokili oyo ezali kobimisa miliki mpe mafuta ya nzoyi. »
Look down from your holy house, from heaven, and bless your people Israel, and the land which you have given them, as you did swear to our fathers, to give to us a land flowing with milk and honey.
16 Lelo, Yawe, Nzambe na yo, apesi yo mitindo ete osalela malamu bikateli mpe mibeko oyo; batela yango malamu na motema na yo mobimba mpe na molimo na yo mobimba.
On this day the Lord your God charged you to keep all the ordinances and judgments; and you shall observe and do them, with all your heart, and with all your soul.
17 Lelo, ondimi ete Yawe azali Nzambe na yo; ndenge opesaki elaka ete okotosa Ye, okobatela mibeko na Ye nyonso mpe okosala makambo nyonso oyo Ye akotinda yo.
You have chosen God this day to be your God, and to walk in all his ways, and to observe his ordinances and judgments, and to listen to his voice.
18 Lelo mpe, Yawe andimi ete ozala ekolo na Ye penza, ndenge alakaki yo mpe ndenge apesaki yo mitindo ete otosa mibeko na Ye nyonso.
And the Lord has chosen you this day that you should be to him a peculiar people, as he said, to keep his commands;
19 Na bongo, Yawe, Nzambe na yo, akokomisa yo monene koleka bikolo nyonso oyo Ye akela; akopesa yo lokumu, nkembo na Kombo na Ye. Okozala libota ya bule mpo na Yawe, Nzambe na yo, ndenge alakaki yango.
and that you should be above all nations, as he has made you renowned, and a boast, and glorious, that you should be a holy people to the Lord your God, as he has spoken.
