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, besides the covenant which he had 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 unto all Israel, and said unto them, Ye yourselves have seen all that the Lord hath done before your eyes in the land of Egypt unto Pharaoh, and unto all his servants, and unto all his land;
3 Na miso na bino moko, bomonaki komekama monene, bilembo minene mpe bikamwa.
The great proofs which thy eyes have seen, those great signs, and miracles:
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.
Yet the Lord gave you not a heart to perceive, and eyes to see, and ears to hear, until this 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.
And I have led you forty years in the wilderness; your clothes did not fall worn out from off you, and thy shoe did not fall worn out from off thy foot.
6 Boliaki mapa te mpe bomelaki vino te to masanga mosusu oyo elangwisaka. Nasalaki yango mpo boyeba ete Ngai nazali Yawe, Nzambe na bino.
Bread have ye not eaten, and wine or strong drink have ye not drunk; in order that ye might understand 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 when ye came unto this place, Sichon the king of Cheshbon, and 'Og the king of Bashan went out against us unto battle, and we smote 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 we took their land, and gave it for an inheritance unto the Reubenites, and to the Gadites, and to the half tribe of the Menassites.
9 Bosalela malamu maloba ya boyokani oyo mpo ete bomona bolamu na makambo nyonso oyo bokosala.
Keep ye therefore the words of this covenant, and do them, that ye may prosper in all that ye 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
Ye are standing this day, all of you, before the Lord your God; your heads of your tribes, your elders, and your officers, all the men 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 little ones, your wives, and thy stranger that is in the midst of thy camp, from the hewer of thy wood unto the drawer of thy 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 shouldst enter into the covenant of the Lord thy God, and into his oath of denunciation, which the Lord thy God maketh with thee this day.
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.
In order to raise thee up today unto himself for a people, and that he may be unto thee a God, as he hath spoken unto thee, and as he hath sworn unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.
14 Yawe azali kosala boyokani oyo, na nzela ya ndayi esangana na bilakeli mabe, elongo na bino kaka te,
And not with you alone do I make this covenant and this oath;
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 him that is standing here with us this day before the Lord our God, and with him that is not here with us this day.
16 Bino moko boyebi ndenge nini tozalaki na Ejipito mpe ndenge nini tokatisaki bamboka oyo tolekaki.
(For ye know how we dwelt in the land of Egypt; and how we passed through the nations through which ye have passed;
17 Bomonaki kati na bango biloko na bango ya mbindo, banzambe ya bikeko basala na libaya, na libanga, na palata mpe na wolo.
And ye saw their abominations, and their idols, of wood and stone, silver and gold, which they had with them: )
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.
So that there may not be among you a man, or a woman, or a family, or a tribe, whose heart turneth away this day from the Lord our God, to go to serve the gods of these nations; that there may not be among you a root that beareth abundantly poison and wormwood.
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 it might come to pass, when he heareth the words of this denunciation, that he would bless himself in his heart, saying, There will be peace unto me, though I walk in the stubbornness of my heart; in order that the indulgence of the passions may appease the thirst [for them]:
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.
The Lord will not pardon him; but then the anger of the Lord and his jealousy will smoke against that man, and there shall rest upon him all the curse that is written in this book; and the Lord will blot out his name from under the heavens.
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 the Lord will single him out unto evil out of all the tribes of Israel, according to all the denunciations of the covenant which is written in this book of the law.
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 latest generation, your children that will rise up after you, and the stranger that will come from a far land, will say, when they see the plagues of that land, and its sufferings with which the Lord hath smitten 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.
[That] the whole soil thereof is brimstone, and salt, and a burning waste, which is not sown, and beareth not, and in which no kind of grass springeth up, like the overthrow of Sodom, and Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboyim, which the Lord overthrew in his anger, and in his wrath: —
24 Bikolo nyonso ekotuna: ‹ Mpo na nini Yawe asali likambo ya boye na mokili oyo? Mpo na nini kanda makasi boye? ›
Even all the nations will say, Wherefore hath the Lord done thus unto this land? whence the heat of this great anger?
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.
Then shall men say, Because they had forsaken the covenant of the Lord, the God of their fathers, which he made with them when he brought them forth 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 went and served other gods, and bowed down to them, gods which they knew not, and which he had not assigned unto them;
27 Yango wana, kanda ya Yawe epeli na mokili wana mpe amemi bilakeli mabe nyonso oyo ekomami na buku oyo, kati na mokili wana.
And the anger of the Lord was kindled against this land, to bring upon it the entire curse that is written in this book;
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 the Lord plucked them out of their land in anger, and in wrath, and in great indignation, and he cast them into another land, as it is 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. »
The secret things belong unto the Lord our God; but those things which are publicly known belong unto us and to our children for ever, to do all the words of this law.
