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;

“And it has been, when all these things come on you, the blessing and the reviling, which I have set before you, and you have brought [them] back to your heart among all the nations to where your God YHWH has driven you away,

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 have turned back to your God YHWH and listened to His voice, according to all that I am commanding you today, you and your sons, 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 your God YHWH has turned back [to] your captivity and pitied you, indeed, He has turned back and gathered you out of all the peoples to where your God YHWH has scattered you.

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

If your outcast is in the extremity of the heavens, your God YHWH gathers you from there and He takes you from there;

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.

and your God YHWH has brought you into the land which your fathers have possessed, and you have inherited it, and He has done you good, and multiplied you above your fathers.

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 your God YHWH has circumcised your heart and the heart of your seed, to love your God YHWH with all your heart and with all your soul, for the sake of your life;

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

and your God YHWH has put all this oath on your enemies and on those hating you, who have pursued you.

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

And you turn back, and have listened to the voice of YHWH, and have done all His commands which I am commanding 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 your God YHWH has made you abundant in every work of your hand, in the fruit of your body, and in the fruit of your livestock, and in the fruit of your ground, for good; for YHWH turns back to rejoice over you for good, as He rejoiced over 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.

for you listen to the voice of your God YHWH, to keep His commands and His statutes which are written in the scroll of this law, for you turn back to your God YHWH 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 this command which I am commanding you today, it is not too wonderful for you, nor [is] it far off.

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? »

It is not in the heavens, saying, Who goes up into the heavens for us, and takes it for us, and causes us to hear it, that we may do it?

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 it [is] not beyond the sea, saying, Who passes over beyond the sea for us, and takes it for us, and causes us to hear it, that we may do it?

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.

For the word is very near to you, in your mouth, and in your heart—to do it.

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

See, today I have set before you 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 that today I am commanding you to love your God YHWH, to walk in His ways, and to keep His commands, and His statutes, and His judgments; and you have lived and multiplied, and your God YHWH has blessed you in the land to where you are going in to possess it.

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

And if your heart turns, and you do not listen, and have been drawn away, and have bowed yourself to other gods and served them,

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 have declared to you this day that you certainly perish, you do not prolong days on the ground which you are passing over the Jordan to go in there to possess it.

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.

I have caused the heavens and the earth to testify against you today—I have set before you life and death, the blessing and the reviling, and you have fixed on life, so that you live, you and 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.

to love your God YHWH, to listen to His voice, and to cleave to Him (for He [is] your life and the length of your days), to dwell on the ground which YHWH has sworn to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give to them.”
