Deteronomi 30

1 Maloba oyo nawuti koloba, mapamboli mpe bilakeli mabe oyo napesi yo mpo ete opona, ekokokisama. Soki obateli yango malamu na motema na yo kati na bikolo nyonso epai wapi Yawe, Nzambe na yo, akobengana yo;

Now when all these things have come on you, the blessing and the curse which I have put before you, if the thought of them comes back to your minds, when you are living among the nations where the Lord your God has sent you,

2 soki ozongi epai na Yawe, Nzambe na yo; soki yo mpe bana na yo botosi Ye, na mitema mpe na milimo na bino mobimba, na makambo nyonso oyo natindi yo lelo,

And your hearts are turned again to the Lord your God, and you give ear to his word which I give you today, you and your children, with all your heart and with all your soul:

3 Yawe, Nzambe na yo, akoyokela yo mawa: akozongisa bato na yo, oyo bakendeki na bowumbu mpe akosangisa bino lisusu wuta na bikolo nyonso epai wapi apanzaki bino.

Then the Lord will have pity on you, changing your fate, and taking you back again from among all the nations where you have been forced to go.

4 Atako bokendeki na bamboka ya mosika kati na mokili, Yawe, Nzambe na bino, akoluka kosangisa bino longwa kuna mpe akozongisa bino.

Even if those who have been forced out are living in the farthest part of heaven, the Lord your God will go in search of you, and take you back;

5 Yawe, Nzambe na bino, akomema bino na mokili ya bakoko na bino, mpe bokozwa yango; akosalela bino bolamu mpe akokomisa bino ebele koleka bakoko na bino.

Placing you again in the land of your fathers as your heritage; and he will do you good, increasing you till you are more in number than your fathers were.

6 Yawe, Nzambe na bino, akobulisa mitema na bino mpe mitema ya bakitani na bino mpo ete bolinga Ye na mitema mpe na milimo na bino mobimba, mpe mpo ete bozala na bomoi.

And the Lord your God will give to you and to your seed a circumcision of the heart, so that, loving him with all your heart and all your soul, you may have life.

7 Yawe, Nzambe na bino, akotia bilakeli nyonso ya mabe likolo ya banguna na bino, oyo bayinaka bino mpe banyokolaka bino.

And the Lord your God will put all these curses on those who are against you, and on your haters who put a cruel yoke on you.

8 Bokotosa lisusu Yawe mpe bokosalela mitindo na Ye nyonso oyo nazali kopesa bino lelo.

And you will again give ear to the voice of the Lord, and do all his orders which I have given you today.

9 Bongo Yawe, Nzambe na bino, akosala ete bomona bolamu kati na misala nyonso ya maboko na bino, mpe akopesa bino bana ebele, bibwele ebele mpe bambuma ebele kati na mokili na bino. Yawe akosepela na bino lisusu mpe akosalela bino bolamu, ndenge kaka asepelaki na bakoko na bino,

And the Lord your God will make you fertile in all good things, blessing the work of your hands, and the fruit of your body, and the fruit of your cattle, and the fruit of your land: for the Lord will have joy in you, as he had in your fathers:

10 soki botosi Yawe, Nzambe na bino, mpe bobateli mitindo mpe bikateli na Ye, oyo ekomama kati na buku oyo ya Mobeko, mpe soki bozongi epai na Yawe, Nzambe na bino, na mitema mpe na milimo na bino mobimba.

If you give ear to the voice of the Lord your God, keeping his orders and his laws which are recorded in this book of the law, and turning to the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul.

11 Makambo oyo nazali kotinda yo lelo, ezali penza pasi te mpe elekeli yo te na makasi.

For these orders which I have given you today are not strange and secret, and are not far away.

12 Ezali te kati na Likolo mpo ete okoka kotuna: « Nani akomata kuna na Likolo mpo na kozwela ngai yango mpe kosakolela ngai yango mpo ete nakoka kotosa yango? »

They are not in heaven, for you to say, Who will go up to heaven for us and give us knowledge of them so that we may do them?

13 Ezali te na ngambo mosusu ya ebale monene mpo ete okoka kotuna: « Nani akokatisa ebale monene mpo na kokamata yango mpe kosakolela ngai yango, mpo ete nakoka kotosa yango? »

And they are not across the sea, for you to say, Who will go over the sea for us and give us news of them so that we may do them?

14 Te, liloba yango ezali pene na yo, ezali kati na monoko na yo mpe kati na motema na yo, mpo ete okoka kotosa yango.

But the word is very near you, in your mouth and in your heart, so that you may do it.

15 Tala, nasili kotia lelo, liboso na yo, bomoi mpe bolamu, kufa mpe mabe.

See, I have put before you today, life and good, and death and evil;

16 Tala likambo oyo Ngai natindi yo lelo: linga Yawe, Nzambe na yo, tambola na banzela na Ye mpe batela mitindo na Ye, bikateli na Ye mpe mibeko na Ye. Bongo okozala na bomoi, mpe bokokoma ebele; mpe Yawe, Nzambe na yo, akopambola yo kati na mokili oyo bozali kokota mpo na kozwa.

In giving you orders today to have love for the Lord your God, to go in his ways and keep his laws and his orders and his decisions, so that you may have life and be increased, and that the blessing of the Lord your God may be with you in the land where you are going, the land of your heritage.

17 Kasi soki motema na yo epengwi mpe otosi te, soki okosami na kogumbamela banzambe mosusu mpe na kosambela yango,

But if your heart is turned away and your ear is shut, and you go after those who would make you servants and worshippers of other gods:

18 nalobi na yo, na mokolo ya lelo, ete okobebisama solo, okowumela lisusu te kati na mokili oyo ezali na ngambo mosusu ya Yordani, epai wapi bokokota mpo na kozwa.

I give witness against you this day that destruction will certainly be your fate, and your days will be cut short in the land where you are going, the land of your heritage on the other side of Jordan.

19 Na mokolo ya lelo, nazwi likolo mpe se lokola batatoli mpo na yo: nasili kotia liboso na yo bomoi mpe kufa, mapamboli mpe bilakeli mabe. Sik’oyo, pona bomoi mpo ete yo mpe bana na yo bozala na bomoi.

Let heaven and earth be my witnesses against you this day that I have put before you life and death, a blessing and a curse: so take life for yourselves and for your seed:

20 Mpe pona kolinga Yawe, Nzambe na yo, koyoka mongongo na Ye mpe kokangama na Ye, pamba te azali bomoi na yo mpe akopesa yo mibu ebele kati na mokili oyo Yawe alakaki kopesa, na nzela ya ndayi, epai ya bakoko na yo —Abrayami, Izaki mpe Jakobi.

In loving the Lord your God, hearing his voice and being true to him: for he is your life and by him will your days be long: so that you may go on living in the land which the Lord gave by an oath to your fathers, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
