Deteronomi 26
1 Tango bokokota na mokili oyo Yawe, Nzambe na bino, akopesa bino lokola libula, tango bokozwa yango mpe bokovanda kuna,
It shall be, when you have come in to the land which the LORD your God gives you for an inheritance, possess it, and dwell in 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 some of the first of all the fruit of the ground, which you shall bring in from your land that the LORD your God gives you. You shall put it in a basket, and shall go to the place which the LORD your God shall choose to cause his name to 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. »
You shall come to the priest who shall be in those days, and tell him, “I profess today to the LORD your God, that I have come to the land which the LORD swore to our fathers to give us.”
4 Nganga-Nzambe akozwa kitunga na maboko na ye mpe akokitisa yango liboso ya etumbelo ya Yawe, Nzambe na bino.
The priest shall take the basket out of your hand, and set it down before the LORD your God’s altar.
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.
You shall answer and say before the LORD your God, “My father was a Syrian ready to perish. He went down into Egypt, and lived there, few in number. There he became a great, mighty, and populous nation.
6 Kasi bato ya Ejipito banyokolaki biso, bayokisaki biso pasi mpe bapesaki biso misala makasi.
The Egyptians mistreated us, afflicted us, and imposed hard labor 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;
Then we cried to the LORD, the God of our fathers. The LORD heard our voice, and saw our affliction, our toil, 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.
The LORD brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand, with an outstretched arm, with great terror, 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 has brought us into this place, and has given 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.
Now, behold, I have brought the first of the fruit of the ground, which you, the LORD, have given me.” You shall set it down before the LORD your God, and 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.
You shall rejoice in all the good which the LORD your God has given to you, and to your house, you, and the Levite, and the foreigner who is among 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.
When you have finished tithing all the tithe of your increase in the third year, which is the year of tithing, then you shall give it to the Levite, to the foreigner, to the fatherless, and to the widow, that they may eat within your gates and be filled.
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.
You shall say before the LORD your God, “I have put away the holy things out of my house, and also have given them to the Levite, to the foreigner, to the fatherless, and to the widow, according to all your commandment which you have commanded me. I have not transgressed any of your commandments, neither have I forgotten them.
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 of it in my mourning, neither have I removed any of it while I was unclean, nor given of it for the dead. I have listened to the LORD my God’s voice. I have done according to all that 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 habitation, from heaven, and bless your people Israel, and the ground which you have given us, as you swore to 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.
Today the LORD your God commands you to do these statutes and ordinances. You shall therefore keep 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 declared today that the LORD is your God, and that you would walk in his ways, keep his statutes, his commandments, and his ordinances, and 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.
The LORD has declared today that you are a people for his own possession, as he has promised you, and that you should 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.
He will make you high above all nations that he has made, in praise, in name, and in honor, and that you may be a holy people to the LORD your God, as he has spoken.
