< Deteronomi 29 >
1 Tala maloba ya boyokani oyo Yawe atindaki Moyize kosala elongo na bana ya Isalaele na etando ya Moabi, na likolo ya boyokani oyo asalaki na bango na ngomba Orebi.
These are the words of the covenant which the Lord commanded Moses to make with the children of Israel in the land of Moab: beside that covenant which he made with them in Horeb.
2 Moyize abengisaki bana nyonso ya Isalaele mpe alobaki na bango: « Miso na bino emonaki makambo nyonso oyo Yawe asalaki na Ejipito epai ya Faraon, epai ya basali na ye nyonso mpe kati na mokili na ye mobimba.
And Moses called all Israel, and said to them: You have seen all the things that the Lord did before you in the land of Egypt to Pharao, and to all his servants, and to his whole land.
3 Na miso na bino moko, bomonaki komekama monene, bilembo minene mpe bikamwa.
The great temptations, which thy eyes have seen, those mighty signs and wonders,
4 Kasi kino na mokolo ya lelo, Yawe apesaki bino te mayele mpo na kososola to miso mpo na komona to matoyi mpo na koyoka.
And the Lord hath not given you a heart to understand, and eyes to see, and ears that may hear, unto this present day.
5 Na mibu tuku minei oyo Ngai Yawe nakambaki bino na esobe, bilamba na bino enzulukaki te mpe basandale na makolo na bino ekufaki te.
He hath brought you forty years through the desert: your garments are not worn out, neither are the shoes of your feet consumed with age.
6 Boliaki mapa te mpe bomelaki vino te to masanga mosusu oyo elangwisaka. Nasalaki yango mpo boyeba ete Ngai nazali Yawe, Nzambe na bino.
You have not eaten bread, nor have you drunk wine or strong drink: that you might know that I am the Lord your God.
7 Tango bokomaki na esika oyo, Sikoni, mokonzi ya Eshiboni, mpe Ogi, mokonzi ya Bashani, bayaki kobundisa biso, kasi tolongaki bango.
And you came to this place: sand Sehon king of Hesebon, and Og king of Basan, came out against us to fight. And we slew them.
8 Tozwaki mokili na bango mpe topesaki yango lokola libula epai ya bato ya libota ya Ribeni, ya Gadi mpe epai ya ndambo ya libota ya Manase.
And took their land, and delivered it for a possession to Ruben and Gad, and the half tribe of Manasses.
9 Bosalela malamu maloba ya boyokani oyo mpo ete bomona bolamu na makambo nyonso oyo bokosala.
Keep therefore the words of this covenant, and fulfill them: that you may understand all that you do.
10 Bino nyonso, bokotelema lelo na miso ya Yawe, Nzambe na bino: bakambi na bino, bakonzi na bino ya masanga, bampaka na bino, bakonzi na bino ya basoda mpe bato mosusu kati na Isalaele
You all stand this day before the Lord your God, your princes, and tribes, and ancients, and doctors, all the people of Israel,
11 elongo na bana na bino mpe basi na bino mpe bapaya oyo bazali kati na milako na bino mpo na kobukela bino bakoni mpe kotokelaka bino mayi.
Your children and your wives, and the stranger that abideth with thee in the camp, besides the hewers of wood, and them that bring water:
12 Botelemi awa mpo na kosala boyokani elongo na Yawe, Nzambe na bino; boyokani oyo Yawe, Nzambe na bino, azali kosala elongo na bino, na mokolo ya lelo, na kolapa ndayi esangana na bilakeli mabe,
That thou mayst pass in the covenant of the Lord thy God, and in the oath which this day the Lord thy God maketh with thee.
13 mpo na koyebisa bino, na mokolo ya lelo, ete bozali bato na Ye, mpe Ye azali Nzambe na bino ndenge alakaki yango, na nzela ya ndayi, epai na bino mpe bakoko na bino —Abrayami, Izaki mpe Jakobi.
That he may raise thee up a people to himself, and he may be thy God as he hath spoken to thee, and as he swore to thy fathers Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
14 Yawe azali kosala boyokani oyo, na nzela ya ndayi esangana na bilakeli mabe, elongo na bino kaka te,
Neither with you only do I make this covenant, and confirm these oaths,
15 kasi mpe elongo na ba-oyo bazali awa kati na biso, na mokolo ya lelo, liboso ya Yawe, Nzambe na biso, mpe elongo na ba-oyo bazali awa te elongo na biso.
But with all that are present and that are absent.
16 Bino moko boyebi ndenge nini tozalaki na Ejipito mpe ndenge nini tokatisaki bamboka oyo tolekaki.
For you know how we dwelt in the land of Egypt, and how we have passed through the midst of nations, and passing through them,
17 Bomonaki kati na bango biloko na bango ya mbindo, banzambe ya bikeko basala na libaya, na libanga, na palata mpe na wolo.
You have seen their abominations and filth, that is to say, their idols, wood and stone, silver and gold, which they worshipped.
18 Bosala keba ete, na mokolo ya lelo, mobali moko te, mwasi moko te, etuka moko te to libota moko te epengwa na nzela ya Yawe, Nzambe na biso, mpo na kokende kogumbamela banzambe wana ya bikeko. Bosala keba ete, kati na bino, ezala na mosisa moko te oyo ekobota ngenge ya bololo ya ndenge wana.
Lest perhaps there should be among you a man or a woman, a family or a tribe, whose heart is turned away this day from the Lord our God, to go and serve the gods of those nations: and there should be among you a root bringing forth gall and bitterness.
19 Sima na koyoka maloba oyo ya bilakeli, tika ete moto moko te kati na bino amipambola na koloba: ‹ Nakolonga na makambo na ngai nyonso atako natamboli kolanda baposa ya motema na ngai moko. › Pamba te, moto oyo akosala mabe oyo akomema moto oyo ayebi likambo te na libunga na ye.
And when he shall hear the words of this oath, he should bless himself in his heart saying: I shall have peace, and will walk on in the naughtiness of my heart: and the drunken may consume the thirsty,
20 Yawe akolimbisa ye te; kanda makasi na Ye mpe zuwa na Ye ekokweyela moto wana. Bilakeli nyonso ya mabe oyo ekomama kati na buku oyo ekokweyela ye mpe Yawe akolongola kombo na ye kati na mokili.
And the Lord should not forgive him: but his wrath and jealousy against that man should be exceedingly enkindled at that time, and all the curses that are written in this volume should light upon him: and the Lord should blot out his name from under heaven,
21 Yawe akotia ye pembeni kati na bikolo nyonso ya Isalaele, akokaba ye na pasi ndenge ezali bilakeli mabe nyonso ya boyokani oyo ekomama kati na buku ya Mobeko.
And utterly destroy him out of all the tribes of Israel, according to the curses that are contained in the book of this law and covenant:
22 Milongo ya bana na bino oyo ekoya sima na bino mpe bapaya oyo bakowuta na mikili ya mosika bakomona bitumbu oyo Yawe akokweyisela mokili wana.
And the following generation shall say, and the children that shall be born hereafter, and the strangers that shall come from afar, seeing the plagues of that land and the evils wherewith the Lord hath afflicted it,
23 Mokili mobimba ekopela na moto ya sofolo mpe ekotonda na mungwa. Bakolona ata eloko moko te, eloko moko te ekobima mpe matiti ekobota te. Mokili yango ekobebisama ndenge Sodome mpe Gomore, Adima mpe Tseboyimi, ebebisamaki: bingumba oyo Yawe abebisaki na kanda na Ye ya makasi.
Burning it with brimstone, and the heat of salt, so that it cannot be sown any more, nor any green thing grow therein, after the example of the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrha, Adama and Seboim, which the Lord destroyed in his wrath and indignation:
24 Bikolo nyonso ekotuna: ‹ Mpo na nini Yawe asali likambo ya boye na mokili oyo? Mpo na nini kanda makasi boye? ›
And all the nations shall say: Why hath the Lord done thus to this land? what meaneth this exceeding great heat of his wrath?
25 Mpe eyano ekozala: ‹ Esalemaki bongo, pamba te bato oyo babukaki boyokani oyo Yawe, Nzambe ya bakoko na bango, asalaki elongo na bango tango abimisaki bango na Ejipito.
And they shall answer: Because they forsook the covenant of the Lord, which he made with their fathers, when he brought them out of the land of Egypt:
26 Bakendeki kosambela banzambe mosusu mpe bagumbamelaki bango, banzambe oyo bayebaki te mpe oyo Ye apekisaki bango.
And they have served strange gods, and adored them, whom they knew not, and for whom they had not been assigned:
27 Yango wana, kanda ya Yawe epeli na mokili wana mpe amemi bilakeli mabe nyonso oyo ekomami na buku oyo, kati na mokili wana.
Therefore the wrath of the Lord was kindled against this land, to bring upon it all the curses that are written in this volume:
28 Yawe apikolaki bango na mokili na bango na kanda na Ye ya makasi mpe na kotomboka na Ye ya makasi. Abwakaki bango na mokili mosusu ndenge ezali komonana lelo. ›
And he hath cast them out of their land, in anger and in wrath, and in very great indignation, and hath thrown them into a strange land, as it is seen this day.
29 Makambo oyo ebombama ezali mpo na Yawe, Nzambe na biso; mpe makambo oyo emonisami ezali mpo na biso mpe bakitani na biso, mpo na tango nyonso, mpo ete tokoka kosalela maloba nyonso ya mibeko oyo. »
Secret things to the Lord our God: things that are manifest, to us and to our children for ever, that we may do all the words of this law.
