Deteronomi 18

1 Banganga-Nzambe oyo bazali Balevi, elongo na libota mobimba ya Balevi basengeli te kozwa eteni ya mabele to libula kati na Isalaele; basengeli kobika kaka na makabo bazikisa na moto mpo na Yawe mpe na libula na Ye, pamba te yango nde ezali libula na bango.

“E ʻikai maʻu ʻe he kau taulaʻeiki ko e kau Livai, pea mo e faʻahinga kotoa pē ʻo Livai, ha tufakanga pe ha tofiʻa fakataha mo ʻIsileli: tenau kai ʻae ngaahi feilaulau kuo ngaohi ʻaki ʻae afi kia Sihova, mo hono tofiʻa ʻoʻona.

2 Basengeli te kozala na libula kati na bandeko na bango; Yawe nde azali libula na bango ndenge alakaki bango.

Ko ia ʻe ʻikai tenau maʻu ai ha tofiʻa mo honau ngaahi kāinga: ko Sihova ko honau tofiʻa ʻo hangē ko ʻene folofola kiate kinautolu.

3 Tala eteni oyo Banganga-Nzambe basengeli kozwa epai na bato oyo bakobonza ngombe to meme lokola mbeka: lipeka, mbanga mpe biloko ya kati. Okopesa yango epai ya Nganga-Nzambe oyo azali kosala mosala.

“Pea ko hono ʻinasi eni ʻoe taulaʻeiki mei he kakai, meiate kinautolu ʻoku ʻatu ha feilaulau, kapau ko e pulu pe ko e sipi; pea tenau ʻatu ki he taulaʻeiki hono alanga muʻa, mo hono kouʻahe fakatouʻosi pe, mo e kete.

4 Okopesa ye bambuma na yo ya liboso ya ble, ya vino ya sika, ya mafuta mpe bapwale nyonso ya liboso oyo okolongola na bameme na yo;

Ko e ʻuluaki fua ʻo hoʻo uite, mo hoʻo uaine, pea mo hoʻo lolo foki, mo e ʻuluaki fulufuluʻi sipi kuo kosi, ke ke ʻatu kiate ia.

5 pamba te Yawe, Nzambe na yo, aponi ye elongo na bakitani na ye kati na bikolo na yo nyonso mpo na kotelema mpe kosala tango nyonso mosala na Kombo na Yawe kati na Tempelo.

He kuo fili ia ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua mei ho ngaahi faʻahinga kotoa pē, ke tuʻu mo tauhi ʻi he huafa ʻo Sihova, ʻaia mo hono ngaahi foha ke taʻengata.

6 Soki moko kati na Balevi alongwe na engumba moko kati na bingumba ya Isalaele epai wapi azalaki kovanda, mpe ayei ndenge motema na ye elingi, na esika oyo Yawe Nzambe akopona;

“Pea kapau ʻe haʻu ha Livai mei ha kolo ʻe taha ʻi ʻIsileli kotoa pē, ʻaia naʻe nofo ʻāunofo ai ia, pea haʻu ia ʻi he holi lahi ʻa hono loto ki he potu ʻaia ʻe fili ʻe Sihova;

7 asengeli kosala na Kombo na Yawe, Nzambe na ye, ndenge bandeko na ye nyonso Balevi bazali kosala kuna na miso ya Yawe.

‌ʻE toki tauhi ʻe ia ʻi he huafa ʻo Sihova ko hono ʻOtua, ʻo hangē ko hono kāinga kotoa pē ʻi he kau Livai, ʻakinautolu ʻoku tuʻu ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova.

8 Akozwa eteni ya ndenge moko na bango na oyo etali biloko ya kolia, bakisa mbongo oyo akozwa tango bakoteka biloko ya libota.

Tenau ʻinasi tatau pe ʻi he meʻakai, neongo ʻa ʻene meʻa ʻaʻana ʻaia ʻoku tupu ʻi he fakatau ʻa hono tofiʻa.

9 Tango okokota na mokili oyo Yawe, Nzambe na yo, akopesa yo, okomekola te misala ya mbindo ya bikolo oyo ezali kuna.

“ʻOka ke ka hoko atu ki he fonua ʻaia ʻoku foaki kiate koe ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua, ʻoua naʻa ke ako ke fai ʻo hangē ko e ngaahi meʻa fakalielia ʻoe ngaahi kakai ko ia.

10 Moto moko te kati na yo akobonza na moto mwana na ye ya mobali to ya mwasi epai ya moto oyo asalelaka soloka, kindoki, oyo atalaka minzoto mpo na kosakola makambo, oyo asalelaka maji

‌ʻOua naʻa ʻilo ha tokotaha ʻiate kimoutolu ʻoku tuku ʻa hono foha pe ko hono ʻofefine ke ʻalu atu ʻi he afi, pe ʻoku fai ʻae tuki, pe ʻoku tokanga ki he ngaahi kuonga, pe ko e fai meʻa mana loi, pe ko e taula fakafaʻahikehe.

11 to moto oyo asalelaka makambo ya nkuku to moto oyo atunaka milimo to nganga-kisi to moto oyo asololaka na bakufi.

Pe ko e tokotaha ʻoku kākā, pe kumi ki he laumālie kovi, pe ko e fieʻiloʻilo, pe ko ia ʻoku kumi ki he mate.

12 Moto nyonso oyo asalaka makambo oyo, azali mbindo na miso ya Yawe; mpe ezali mpo na makambo nyonso oyo ya nkele nde Yawe, Nzambe na bino, akobengana bikolo wana liboso na bino.

He ko kinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku fai ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni ʻoku kovi lahi kia Sihova: pea ko e meʻa ʻi he ngaahi meʻa kovi lahi ni ʻoku kapusi ai ʻakinautolu ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua mei ho ʻao.

13 Bosengeli kozala bato bazangi pamela liboso ya Yawe, Nzambe na bino.

Ke ke angatonu koe kia Sihova ko ho ʻOtua.

14 Bikolo oyo bokobotola ezali bikolo oyo elandaka bato wana, esalelaka kindoki mpe soloka. Kasi mpo na bino, Yawe, Nzambe na bino, akoki te kopesa bino nzela ya kosala bongo.

He ko e ngaahi puleʻanga, ʻaia ke ke hoko ʻo maʻu, naʻe fakaongo ki he kau tokanga ki he ngaahi kuonga, mo e kau kikite: ka ko koe, naʻe ʻikai tuku koe ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua ke fai pehē.

15 Yawe, Nzambe na bino, akobimisela bino mosakoli moko lokola ngai, oyo akowuta kati na bandeko na bino; bosengeli koyoka ye.

“ʻE fokotuʻu ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua ha palōfita kiate koe, ʻi ho ngaahi kāinga, ʻo hangē ko au; ke mou tokanga kiate ia;

16 Yango nde likambo oyo bosengaki epai na Yawe, Nzambe na bino, na ngomba Orebi, na mokolo ya mayangani, tango bolobaki: « Toboyi koyoka lisusu mongongo ya Yawe, Nzambe na biso, to komona lisusu moto makasi oyo, noki te tokokufa. »

‌ʻO fakatatau ki he meʻa kotoa pē naʻa ke holi ki ai kia Sihova ko ho ʻOtua ʻi Holepi ʻi he ʻaho ʻoe fakataha, ʻo pehē, ʻoua naʻaku toe ongoʻi ʻae leʻo ʻo Sihova ko hoku ʻOtua, pea ʻoua naʻaku toe mamata ki he afi lahi ni, telia naʻaku mate.

17 Yawe alobaki na ngai: « Makambo oyo balobi ezali malamu.

Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kiate au, ‘ʻOku lelei ʻaia kuo nau lea ki ai.

18 Nakobimisa kati na bandeko na bango mosakoli moko lokola yo; nakotia maloba na Ngai kati na monoko na ye, mpe akoyebisa bango nyonso oyo Ngai nakotinda ye.

Te u fokotuʻu kiate kinautolu ha Palōfita ʻi honau kāinga, ʻo hangē ko koe, pea te u ʻai ʻeku ngaahi lea ʻi hono ngutu; pea ʻe lea ʻaki ʻe ia kiate kinautolu ʻaia kotoa pē te u fekau kiate ia.

19 Soki moto aboyi koyoka maloba na Ngai, oyo mosakoli yango akoloba na Kombo na Ngai, Ngai moko nakopesa ye etumbu.

Pea ʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ko ia fulipē ʻe ʻikai tokanga ki heʻeku ngaahi lea ʻaia ʻe lea ʻaki ʻe ia ʻi hoku huafa, teu ʻeke ia kiate ia.

20 Kasi soki mosakoli moko alobi ete azali koloba na Kombo na Ngai, bongo alobi likambo moko oyo Ngai natindi ye te to azali koloba na kombo ya banzambe mosusu, basengeli koboma ye.

Ka ko e palōfita ko ia, ʻaia ʻoku fielahi pea lea ia ʻi hoku huafa, ʻaia naʻe ʻikai te u fekau kiate ia ke lea, pe lea ia ʻi he hingoa ʻoe ngaahi ʻotua kehe, ʻe tāmateʻi ʻae palōfita ko ia.’

21 Tango mosusu bokoki komituna: ‹ Ndenge nini tokoki koyeba ete maloba oyo azali koloba ewuti solo epai na Yawe te? ›

Pea kapau ʻoku ke pehē ʻi ho loto, Te mau ʻilo fēfeeʻi ʻae lea ʻaia naʻe ʻikai folofolaʻaki ʻe Sihova?

22 Soki makambo oyo mosakoli alobi na Kombo na Yawe ekokisami te to esalemi te, wana maloba yango ewutaki na Yawe te. Mosakoli wana alobaki kaka na ndenge na ye moko, bobanga ye te. »

‌ʻOka lea ʻae palōfita ʻi he huafa ʻo Sihova, ka ʻoku ʻikai muimui hano fakamoʻoni pe hoko ia, ko eni ʻae meʻa naʻe ʻikai folofolaʻaki ʻe Sihova, ka kuo lea fielahi ʻaki ia ʻe he palōfita: ʻe ʻikai te ke manavahē kiate ia.
