Kobima 22
1 Soki moto ayibi ngombe moko to meme moko, bongo abomi yango to ateki yango; asengeli kofuta bangombe mitano mpo na ngombe moko oyo ayibaki to bameme minei mpo na meme moko oyo ayibaki.
IF a man shall steal an ox, or a sheep, and kill it, or sell it; he shall restore five oxen for an ox, and four sheep for a sheep.
2 Soki bakangi moto azali koyiba, bongo babeti ye mpe akufi; mobomi akozwa etumbu te mpo na makila oyo esopani.
If a thief be found breaking up, and be smitten that he die, there shall no blood be shed for him.
3 Kasi soki makambo yango esalemi na moyi, moto oyo akoboma ye akozwa etumbu mpo na makila oyo esopani. Moyibi nyonso asengeli kozongisa biloko oyo ayibi. Soki azali na eloko te, bakoteka ye mpo na kofuta eloko oyo ayibaki.
If the sun be risen upon him, there shall be blood shed for him; for he should make full restitution; if he have nothing, then he shall be sold for his theft.
4 Soki ayibaki nyama, ezala ngombe, ane to meme, bongo bakuti nyama yango ya bomoi na maboko na ye, akofuta banyama mibale.
If the theft be certainly found in his hand alive, whether it be ox, or ass, or sheep; he shall restore double.
5 Soki moto azali koleisa bibwele na ye matiti na elanga na ye to na elanga na ye ya vino, bongo atiki bibwele yango koyengayenga mpe ekeyi kolia matiti na elanga to na elanga ya vino ya moto mosusu, nkolo bibwele asengeli kofuta mbuma oyo eleki kitoko kati na elanga na ye to kati na elanga na ye ya vino.
If a man shall cause a field or vineyard to be eaten, and shall put in his beast, and shall feed in another man’s field; of the best of his own field, and of the best of his own vineyard, shall he make restitution.
6 Soki moto apelisi moto, bongo moto yango ekutani na banzete ya sende, epanzani mpe ezikisi ble oyo basili kotia na maboke to ble oyo babuki nanu te, moto oyo apelisaki moto asengeli kofuta biloko nyonso oyo eziki.
If fire break out, and catch in thorns, so that the stacks of corn, or the standing corn, or the field, be consumed therewith; he that kindled the fire shall surely make restitution.
7 Soki moto abombisi palata to biloko na ye ya motuya epai ya moninga na ye, bongo bayibi yango kati na ndako ya moninga wana; soki bakangi moyibi ya biloko yango, akozongisa mbala mibale biloko oyo ayibaki.
If a man shall deliver unto his neighbour money or stuff to keep, and it be stolen out of the man’s house; if the thief be found, let him pay double.
8 Kasi soki moyibi amonani te, nkolo ndako asengeli kosamba liboso ya basambisi mpo na koyeba soki ayibaki biloko ya moninga na ye to te.
If the thief be not found, then the master of the house shall be brought unto the judges, to see whether he have put his hand unto his neighbour’s goods.
9 Na likambo nyonso ya moyibi, soki bato mibale bazali kowela ngombe, ane, meme, elamba to eloko nyonso oyo ebungaki, bongo moto na moto azali koloba: ‹ Ezali ya ngai! › bango mibale bakomema likambo na bango liboso ya basambisi; bongo moto oyo basambisi bakokweyisa akozongisa yango mbala mibale epai ya moninga na ye.
For all manner of trespass, whether it be for ox, for ass, for sheep, for raiment, or for any manner of lost thing, which another challengeth to be his, the cause of both parties shall come before the judges; and whom the judges shall condemn, he shall pay double unto his neighbour.
10 Soki moto apesi moninga na ye ngombe to ane to meme to nyama mosusu mpo ete abokola, bongo nyama yango ekufi to ebukani to bayibi yango mpe ata moto moko te amoni mpo na kotatola ndenge nini likambo yango esalemaki,
If a man deliver unto his neighbour an ass, or an ox, or a sheep, or any beast, to keep; and it die, or be hurt, or driven away, no man seeing it:
11 kaka ndayi oyo balapi na Kombo na Yawe nde ekokabola bango: Moto oyo andimaki kobokola akolapa ndayi liboso ya Yawe mpo na kotalisa ete ayebi likambo te. Bongo nkolo nyama asengeli kondima maloba ya moninga na ye mpe ye akofuta nyama yango te.
Then shall an oath of the Lord be between them both, that he hath not put his hand unto his neighbour’s goods; and the owner of it shall accept thereof, and he shall not make it good.
12 Kasi soki bayibi nyama yango na maboko ya moto oyo andimaki kobokola yango, akofuta nyama yango epai ya nkolo na yango.
And if it be stolen from him, he shall make restitution unto the owner thereof.
13 Soki ezali nyama ya zamba nde ebomaki nyama yango, moto oyo andimaki kobokola yango akomema lokola litatoli biteni oyo etikali; bongo akofuta nyama yango te.
If it be torn in pieces, then let him bring it for witness, and he shall not make good that which was torn.
14 Soki moto adefi nyama epai ya moninga na ye, bongo ebukani lokolo to ekufi na tango oyo nkolo na yango azali te, moto wana asengeli kofuta yango.
And if a man borrow ought of his neighbour, and it be hurt, or die, the owner thereof being not with it, he shall surely make it good.
15 Nzokande soki nkolo na yango azalaki wana, moto oyo adefaki akofuta nyama yango te. Soki bayokanaki ete akofuta mbongo sima na kosalela yango, asengeli kofuta mbongo oyo bayokanaki.
But if the owner thereof be with it, he shall not make it good: if it be an hired thing, it came for his hire.
16 Soki mobali alingi elenge mwasi oyo ayebi nanu nzoto ya mibali te mpe azali na mobandami na libala te, bongo asangisi na ye nzoto, asengeli kofuta mbongo ya libala mpo ete akoma mwasi na ye.
And if a man entice a maid that is not betrothed, and lie with her, he shall surely endow her to be his wife.
17 Soki tata ya elenge mwasi aboyi kopesa mwana na ye na libala epai ya mobali wana, mobali yango akofuta mbongo ya libala na motuya oyo babalelaka elenge mwasi oyo ayebi nanu nzoto ya mibali te.
If her father utterly refuse to give her unto him, he shall pay money according to the dowry of virgins.
18 Okotika te na bomoi mwasi oyo asalaka maji.
Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live.
19 Moto nyonso oyo akosangisa nzoto na nyama, asengeli kozwa etumbu ya kufa.
Whosoever lieth with a beast shall surely be put to death.
20 Moto nyonso oyo akotumba mbeka mpo na nzambe mosusu, basengeli koboma ye; mbeka ekotumbama kaka mpo na Yawe Ye moko.
He that sacrificeth unto any god, save unto the Lord only, he shall be utterly destroyed.
21 Okosalisa mopaya mosala na ndenge ya mabe te mpe okonyokola ye te, pamba te bino mpe bozalaki bapaya na Ejipito.
Thou shalt neither vex a stranger, nor oppress him: for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt.
22 Bokonyokola te mwasi oyo akufisa mobali to mwana etike.
Ye shall not afflict any widow, or fatherless child.
23 Soki bonyokoli bango, bongo bango bagangi epai na Ngai, solo nakoyoka koganga na bango.
If thou afflict them in any wise, and they cry at all unto me, I will surely hear their cry;
24 Nakosilikela bino, nakoboma bino na mopanga; bongo basi na bino mpe bakokoma basi bakufisa mibali mpe bana na bino, bana bitike.
And my wrath shall wax hot, and I will kill you with the sword; and your wives shall be widows, and your children fatherless.
25 Soki odefisi mbongo na moko kati na bato na Ngai, na mobola oyo azali kati na bino, okosala te ndenge modefisi mbongo asalaka; okosenga ye mileki te.
If thou lend money to any of my people that is poor by thee, thou shalt not be to him as an usurer, neither shalt thou lay upon him usury.
26 Soki moninga na yo asimbisi yo kazaka na ye lokola ndanga, okozongisela ye yango liboso ete butu eya;
If thou at all take thy neighbour’s raiment to pledge, thou shalt deliver it unto him by that the sun goeth down:
27 pamba te azali kaka na kazaka wana mpo na kofinika nzoto na ye. Akofinika lisusu nini tango akolala? Soki agangi epai na Ngai, nakoyoka ye mpo ete nazali Nzambe ya mawa.
For that is his covering only, it is his raiment for his skin: wherein shall he sleep? and it shall come to pass, when he crieth unto me, that I will hear; for I am gracious.
28 Okofingaka Nzambe te mpe okolakelaka mokambi ya bato na yo mabe te.
Thou shalt not revile the gods, nor curse the ruler of thy people.
29 Okowumisa te kopesa Ngai mbuma ya liboso oyo ekomela mpe vino oyo okamoli. Okopesa Ngai mwana na yo ya liboso ya mobali.
Thou shalt not delay to offer the first of thy ripe fruits, and of thy liquors: the firstborn of thy sons shalt thou give unto me.
30 Okosala mpe lolenge moko mpo na bana liboso ya bangombe, bameme mpe bantaba na yo: ekotikala mikolo sambo elongo na bamama na yango; bongo na mokolo ya mwambe, okopesa Ngai yango.
Likewise shalt thou do with thine oxen, and with thy sheep: seven days it shall be with his dam; on the eighth day thou shalt give it me.
31 Bokozala bule mpo na Ngai: bokolia te mosuni ya nyama oyo babomi na nyama ya zamba; bosengeli kopesa yango na bambwa.
And ye shall be holy men unto me: neither shall ye eat any flesh that is torn of beasts in the field; ye shall cast it to the dogs.
