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 come to pass, when thou art come in unto the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee for an inheritance, and thou hast taken possession of it, and dwellest therein:
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 thou shalt take of the first of all the fruit of the soil, which thou shalt bring in from thy land which the Lord thy God giveth thee, and shalt put it in a basket; and thou shalt go unto the place which the Lord thy God will choose to let his name dwell 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 thou shalt come unto the priest that may be in those days, and thou shalt say unto him, I give thanks this day unto the Lord thy God, that I am come into the land which the Lord swore unto 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 thy hand, and set it down before the altar of the Lord thy 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 thou shalt commence and say before the Lord thy God, A Syrian, wandering about, was my father, and he went down into Egypt, and sojourned there with a family few in number, and he became there a nation, great, mighty, and numerous.
6 Kasi bato ya Ejipito banyokolaki biso, bayokisaki biso pasi mpe bapesaki biso misala makasi.
And the Egyptians treated us ill, and afflicted us, and laid upon us hard labor;
7 Boye togangaki epai na Yawe, Nzambe ya bakoko na biso. Wana ayokaki mingongo na biso, amonaki mawa, pasi mpe minyoko na biso;
And then we cried unto the Eternal, the God of our fathers; and the Lord heard our voice, and looked on our affliction, and our trouble, and our oppression;
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 forth out of Egypt with a mighty hand, and with an outstretched arm, and with great terror, 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 unto this place, and gave unto 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 soil, which thou hast given me, O Lord; and thou shalt set it down before the Lord thy God, and prostrate thyself before the Lord thy 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 thou shalt rejoice with every good thing which the Lord thy God hath given unto thee, and unto thy house, thou, with the Levite, and the stranger that is in the midst of thee.
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.
When thou hast made an end of giving away all the tithe of thy produce in the third year, the year of the tithing, and hast given it unto the Levite, to the stranger, to the fatherless, and to the widow, and they have eaten it within thy gates, and are satisfied:
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.
Then shalt thou say before the Lord thy God, I have removed away the hallowed things out of the house, and I have also given them unto the Levite, and unto the stranger, to the fatherless, and to the widow, according to all thy commandment which thou hast commanded me; I have not deviated from thy commandments, and I have not forgotten;
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.
I have not eaten thereof in my mourning, neither have I removed away aught thereof in an unclean state, nor have I given aught thereof for the dead: I have hearkened to the voice of the Lord my God, I have done all, just as thou hast 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 the habitation of thy holiness, from the heavens, and bless thy people Israel, and the soil which thou hast given unto us, as thou hast sworn unto our fathers, 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.
This day the Lord thy God commandeth thee to do these statutes and ordinances; and thou shalt keep and do them with all thy heart, and with all thy 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.
Thou hast this day acknowledged the Lord, that he is thy God, and that thou wilt walk in his ways, and keep his statutes, and his commandments, and his ordinances, and hearken unto 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 hath acknowledged thee this day, that thou art unto him a peculiar people, as he hath spoken unto thee, and that thou shouldst keep all his commandments;
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.
So that he may set thee highest above all nations that he hath made, in praise, and in name, and in honor; and that thou mayest be a holy people unto the Lord thy God, as he hath spoken.
