Thou shalt not receiue a false tale, neyther shalt thou put thine hande with the wicked, to be a false witnes.

4 Soki okutani na ngombe to ane ya monguna na yo, oyo ebungi, osengeli kozongisela ye yango.
If thou meete thine enemies oxe, or his asse going astray, thou shalt bring him to him againe.
5 Soki omoni ane ya moto oyo ayinaka yo ekweyi na se ya mokumba oyo yango ememi, okotika yango wana te; osengeli kosalisa yango.

6 Okokweyisa bosembo ya mobola te tango azali kosamba liboso ya basambisi.
Thou shalt not ouerthrowe the right of thy poore in his sute.
7 Okozala mosika ya makambo ya lokuta. Okoboma te ezala moto oyo ayebi likambo te to moto ya sembo; pamba te nalongisaka te moto mabe.
Thou shalt keepe thee farre from a false matter, and shalt not slaye the innocent and the righteous: for I will not iustifie a wicked man.
8 Okondimaka kanyaka te, pamba te kanyaka ezipaka miso ya bato oyo bamonaka malamu mpe ebebisaka maloba ya moto ya sembo.
Thou shalt take no gift: for the gift blindeth the wise, and peruerteth the wordes of the righteous.
9 Okonyokola mopaya te, pamba te oyebi yo moko ndenge ezalaka soki ozali mopaya; bino mpe bozalaki bapaya na Ejipito.
Thou shalt not oppresse a stranger: for ye knowe the heart of a stranger, seeing yee were strangers in the land of Egypt.
10 Mibu motoba, okolona bilanga na yo mpe okobuka mbuma.
Moreouer, sixe yeres thou shalt sowe thy land, and gather the fruites thereof,
11 Kasi na mobu ya sambo, okopemisa mabele. Boye babola kati na bato na yo bakozwa bilei ya kolia kati na yango mpe nyama ya zamba ekolia bilei oyo bato bakotika. Okosala ndenge moko mpo na elanga na yo ya vino mpe mpo na nzete na yo ya olive.
But the seuenth yeere thou shalt let it rest and lie still, that the poore of thy people may eat, and what they leaue, the beastes of the fielde shall eate. In like maner thou shalt doe with thy vineyard, and with thine oliue trees.
12 Mikolo motoba, okosala mosala na yo; kasi na mokolo ya sambo, okosala mosala moko te mpo ete ngombe na yo elongo na ane na yo ekoka kopema, mpe mpo ete mwana mobali ya mwasi mowumbu na yo mpe mopaya bazwa lisusu makasi.
Sixe dayes thou shalt do thy worke, and in the seuenth day thou shalt rest, that thine oxe, and thine asse may rest, and the sonne of thy maide and the stranger may be refreshed.
13 Bokosala keba na makambo nyonso oyo nayebisi bino. Bokobelela kombo ya banzambe mosusu te; bokomeka kutu te kotanga yango na bibebu na bino.
And ye shall take heede to all things that I haue sayde vnto you: and ye shall make no mention of the name of other gods, neither shall it be heard out of thy mouth.
14 Mbala misato na mobu, bokosala bafeti misato mpo na Ngai.
Three times thou shalt keepe a feast vnto me in the yeere.
15 Bokosala feti ya Mapa ezanga levire. Na mikolo sambo kolanda ndenge napesaki bino mitindo, bokolia mapa ezanga levire na tango oyo ekatama, na sanza ya Abibi, mpo ete ezali na sanza yango nde bobimaki na Ejipito.
Thou shalt keepe the feast of vnleauened bread: thou shalt eate vnleauened bread seue dayes, as I commanded thee, in the season of the moneth of Abib: for in it thou camest out of Egypt: and none shall appeare before me emptie:
16 Okosala feti ya kobuka bambuma, okosala mpe feti ya bambuma ya liboso ya bilanga na yo, oyo olonaki. Na suka ya mobu, okosala feti ya kobuka bambuma tango okobuka mbuma ya elanga.
The feast also of the haruest of the first fruites of thy labours, which thou hast sowen in the fielde: and the feast of gathering fruites in the ende of the yere, when thou hast gathered in thy labours out of the fielde.

These three times in the yeere shall all thy men children appeare before the Lord Iehouah.

Thou shalt not offer the blood of my sacrifice with leauened bread: neyther shall the fatte of my sacrifice remayne vntill the morning.

The first of the first fruites of thy lande thou shalt bring into the house of the Lord thy God: yet shalt thou not seeth a kid in his mothers milke.
20 Nakotinda anjelu liboso na bino mpo ete abatela bino na nzela mpe amema bino na esika oyo nabongisaki mpo na bino.
Behold, I send an Angel before thee, to keepe thee in the way, and to bring thee to the place which I haue prepared.
21 Bosala keba na miso na ye mpe boyoka makambo oyo akoloba; botombokela ye te mpo ete akolimbisa botomboki na bino te, pamba te Kombo na Ngai ezali kati na ye.
Beware of him, and heare his voyce, and prouoke him not: for he will not spare your misdeedes, because my name is in him.
22 Kasi soki boyoki na bokebi makambo oyo akoyebisa bino mpe soki bosaleli nyonso oyo nalobi, nakozala monguna ya banguna na bino mpe nakotelemela bato oyo bakotelemela bino.
But if thou hearken vnto his voyce, and do all that I speake, the I wil be an enemie vnto thine enemies, and will afflict them that afflict thee.
23 Anjelu na Ngai akotambola liboso na bino mpe akokotisa bino na mokili ya bato ya Amori, ya bato ya Iti, ya bato ya Perizi, ya bato ya Kanana, ya bato ya Evi mpe ya bato ya Yebusi; bongo Ngai nakosilisa bango.
For mine Angel shall go before thee, and bring thee vnto the Amorites, and the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Canaanites, the Hiuites, and the Iebusites, and I will destroy them.
24 Bokogumbamela banzambe na bango te mpe bokosalela yango te to bokolanda te lolenge na bango ya kosalela. Bokokweyisa banzambe yango mpe bokobuka-buka bikeko na bango na biteni.
Thou shalt not bow downe to their gods, neither serue them, nor doe after the workes of them: but vtterly ouerthrowe them, and breake in pieces their images.
25 Soki bokosalela Yawe, Nzambe na bino, akopambola mapa mpe mayi na bino, mpe akolongola bokono kati na bino.
For ye shall serue the Lord your God, and he shall blesse thy bread and thy water, and I will take all sickenes away from the middes of thee.
26 Na mboka na bino, ekozala na mwasi moko te oyo akosopa zemi to akozanga kobota. Nakobakisela bino mikolo ebele na bomoi na bino.
There shall none cast their fruite nor be baren in thy lande: the number of thy dayes will I fulfill.
27 Nakotinda somo na Ngai liboso na bino mpe nakokotisa mobulu kati na bikolo nyonso oyo bokokota. Banguna na bino nyonso bakopesa bino mokongo mpe bakokima.
I will send my feare before thee, and will destroy all the people among whome thou shalt go: and I will make all thine enemies turne their backes vnto thee:
28 Nakotinda banzoyi ya minene liboso na bino mpo na kobengana bato ya Evi, ya Kanana mpe ya Iti na liboso na bino.
And I will sende hornets before thee, which shall driue out the Hiuites, the Canaanites, and the Hittites from thy face.
29 Kasi nakobengana bango te na mbala moko mpo ete mboka ekoma te lokola ndako ezanga bato, mpe mpo ete banyama ya zamba ekoma mingi te mpo na kotungisa bino.
I will not cast them out from thy face in one yeere, least the land grow to a wildernes: and the beasts of the field multiplie against thee.
30 Nakobengana bango moke-moke liboso na bino kino bokokoma ebele mpo na kozwa mboka.
By litle and litle I will driue them out from thy face, vntill thou increase, and inherite the lande.
31 Nakotia bandelo na bino kobanda na ebale monene ya barozo kino na ebale monene ya bato ya Filisitia mpe kobanda na esobe ya Sinai kino na ebale Efrate; pamba te nakopesa bato ya mboka na maboko na bino, bongo bino bokobengana bango liboso na bino.
And I will make thy coastes from the red sea vnto the sea of the Philistims, and from the desert vnto the Riuer: for I will deliuer the inhabitants of the lande into your hande, and thou shalt driue them out from thy face.
32 Bokosala boyokani te elongo na bango mpe elongo na banzambe na bango.
Thou shalt make no couenant with them, nor with their gods:
33 Botika bango te ete bawumela na mokili na bino, noki te bakotinda bino kosala masumu liboso na Ngai mpe kosalela banzambe na bango; pamba te ekozala solo motambo mpo na bino. »
Neither shall they dwell in thy lande, least they make thee sinne against me: for if thou serue their gods, surely it shall be thy destruction.
