Deteronomi 27
1 Moyize mpe bampaka ya Isalaele bapesaki mitindo oyo epai ya bato: « Bobatela mitindo nyonso oyo nalingi kopesa bino lelo.
Moses/I, along with the other Israeli leaders, said this to the people: “Obey all the commandments that I am giving to you today.
2 Tango bokokatisa Yordani mpo na kokota na mokili oyo Yawe, Nzambe na bino, akopesa bino, bokotelemisa ndambo ya mabanga minene mpe bokopakola yango pembe.
[Soon] you will cross the Jordan [River] and enter the land that Yahweh, the God whom our ancestors [worshiped], promised to give to you. There, in that very fertile [IDM] land on the [west] side of the Jordan [River], set up some large stones [on Ebal Mountain], and cover them with plaster. Then write on those stones all these laws and teachings/instructions.
3 Bokokoma na likolo na yango, maloba nyonso ya mobeko tango bokosilisa kokatisa Yordani mpo na kokota na mokili oyo Nzambe na bino akopesa bino, mokili oyo ezali kobimisa miliki mpe mafuta ya nzoyi, ndenge kaka Yawe, Nzambe ya bakoko na bino, alakaki bino.
4 Mpe tango bokosilisa kokatisa Yordani, bokotelemisa mabanga yango na ngomba Ebali ndenge natindi bino yango lelo, mpe bokopakola yango pembe.
5 Kuna, bokotonga etumbelo ya mabanga mpo na Yawe, Nzambe na bino. Bokosalela ata esalelo moko te ya ebende.
And build a stone altar there to offer sacrifices to Yahweh, but do not cut those stones with iron tools.
6 Bokotonga na mabanga balokota na bilanga etumbelo mpo na Yawe, Nzambe na bino, mpe bokobonza na likolo na yango bambeka ya kotumba.
The altar that you make to burn sacrifices to Yahweh our God must be made with uncut stones.
7 Na likolo ya etumbelo yango, bokobonza bambeka ya boyokani; bokolia yango kaka na esika wana mpe bokosepela na miso ya Yawe, Nzambe na bino.
And there you must sacrifice offerings to maintain fellowship with Yahweh, and you must eat [your share of those offerings] and rejoice/celebrate in the presence of Yahweh.
8 Bokokoma na konguluta maloba nyonso ya mobeko oyo na likolo ya mabanga oyo botelemisi. »
And, when you write these laws on those stones, you must write them very clearly.”
9 Sima na yango, Moyize mpe Banganga-Nzambe oyo bazali Balevi balobaki na lisanga mobimba ya Isalaele: « Oh Isalaele, bovanda kimia mpe boyoka! Bokomi lelo libota ya Yawe, Nzambe na bino.
Then Moses/I, along with the priests, said to all the Israeli people, “You Israeli people, be quiet and listen [to what I am saying]. Today you have become the people who belong to Yahweh, our God.
10 Botosa Yawe, Nzambe na bino, mpe bosalela mitindo mpe bikateli na Ye oyo nalingi kopesa bino lelo. »
So, you must do what he tells you, and obey all the rules and regulations that I am giving to you today.”
11 Kaka na mokolo wana, Moyize apesaki mitindo oyo epai na bato:
On that same day Moses/I said to the Israeli people,
12 « Tala mabota oyo ekotelema na ngomba Garizimi mpo na kopambola bato tango bokokatisa Yordani: libota ya Simeoni, ya Levi, ya Yuda, ya Isakari, ya Jozefi, mpe ya Benjame.
“After you have crossed over the Jordan [River], the tribes of Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, Joseph, and Benjamin must stand on Gerizim Mountain and [request Yahweh to] bless the people.
13 Mpe tala mabota oyo ekotelema na ngomba Ebali mpo na kolakela bato mabe: libota ya Ribeni, ya Gadi, ya Aseri, ya Zabuloni, ya Dani mpe ya Nefitali. »
And the tribes of Reuben, Gad, Asher, Zebulun, Dan, and Naphtali must stand on Ebal Mountain and listen to the things that Yahweh will do when he curses the people.
14 Balevi bakoloba epai ya bana nyonso ya Isalaele maloba oyo na mongongo makasi:
