Deuteronomy 25
1 “If there is a case between persons, and they apply to the judges, they shall give the palm of justice to the one whom they perceive to be just, and they shall condemn of impiety the one who is impious.
Soki bato bazali kowelana, bakomema likambo na bango na esambiselo, mpe basambisi bakokata likambo yango: bakolongisa moto oyo ayebi likambo te mpe bakokweyisa moto oyo asali mabe.
2 But if they see that the one who has sinned is worthy of stripes, they shall prostrate him and cause him to be beaten before them. According to the measure of the sin, so shall the measure of the stripes be.
Bongo soki esengi ete babeta moto oyo asali mabe fimbu, basambisi bakolalisa ye na mabele mpe bakobetisa ye fimbu na miso na bango; bakobetisa ye motango ya bafimbu oyo ekoki na mabe oyo asali.
3 Even so, these shall not exceed the number of forty. Otherwise, your brother may depart, having been wounded shamefully before your eyes.
Kasi bakoki te kobeta ye bafimbu koleka tuku minei. Soki babeti ye fimbu koleka tuku minei, ndeko na bino akosambwa na miso na bino.
4 You shall not muzzle an ox as it is treading out your crops in the field.
Osengeli te kokanga monoko ya ngombe oyo ezali konika bambuma.
5 When brothers are living together, and one of them dies without children, the wife of the deceased shall not marry another. Instead, his brother shall take her, and he shall raise up offspring for his brother.
Soki bandeko mibali bazali kovanda elongo, mpe moko kati na bango akufi kasi atiki mwana te, mwasi oyo akufisi mobali akoki te kobala na libota mosusu; semeki na ye asengeli kozwa ye na libala mpo na kokokisa epai na ye mokumba ya kisemeki.
6 And the first son from her, he shall call by his brother’s name, so that his name will not be abolished from Israel.
Mwana mobali ya liboso oyo mwasi yango akobota akozwa kombo ya ndeko mobali oyo akufa mpo ete kombo na ye ebunga te kati na Isalaele.
7 But if he is not willing to take his brother’s wife, who by law must go to him, the woman shall go to the gate of the city, and she shall call upon those greater by birth, and she shall say: ‘The brother of my husband is not willing to raise up his brother’s name in Israel; nor will he join with me.’
Soki mobali yango aboyi kobala semeki na ye ya mwasi, semeki yango ya mwasi akokende epai ya bampaka, na ekuke ya engumba, mpe akoloba na bango: « Semeki na ngai aboyi kobatela kombo ya ndeko na ye kati na Isalaele, aboyi kokokisa mokumba na ye ya kisemeki epai na ngai. »
8 And immediately, they shall summon him to be sent, and they shall question him. If he responds, ‘I am not willing to accept her as a wife,’
Boye, bampaka ya engumba wana bakobengisa mobali yango mpe bakoloba na ye. Soki akobi kaka koboya kobala semeki na ye,
9 then the woman shall approach him in the sight of the elders, and she shall remove his shoe from his foot, and she shall spit in his face, and she shall say: ‘So shall it be done to the man who was not willing to build up his brother’s house.’
semeki yango akopusana pembeni na ye na miso ya bampaka, akolongola ye lokolo moko ya sandale, akobwakela ye soyi na elongi, mpe akoloba na ye: « Tala ndenge basengeli kosala moto oyo aboyi kotonga ndako ya ndeko na ye ya mobali. »
10 And his name shall be called in Israel: The House of the Unshod.
Boye, kati na Isalaele, bakobanda kobenga bakitani ya moto wana « bana ya moto oyo balongola sandale. »
11 If two men have a conflict between themselves, and one begins to do violence to the other, and if the other’s wife, wanting to rescue her husband from the hand of the stronger one, extends her hand and grasps him by his private parts,
Soki mibali bazali kobunda, bongo mwasi moko apusani mpo na kokangola mobali na ye na loboko ya moto oyo azali kobeta ye, mpe soki mwasi yango asemboli loboko na ye mpe akangi nzoto ya mibali ya moto oyo azali kobeta mobali na ye,
12 then you shall cut off her hand. Neither shall you weep over her with any mercy.
bokokata loboko na ye. Bokoyokela ye mawa te.
13 You shall not have differing weights, greater and lesser, in your bag.
Okoki te kozala na bimekelo mibale ya kilo ekesana kati na saki na yo: moko eleki kilo mpe mosusu eleki pepele.
14 Neither shall there be in your house a greater and a lesser measure.
Okoki te kozala na ndako na yo na bikolo mibale ekesana mpo na kotanga na yango biloko: moko ya monene mpe mosusu ya moke.
15 You shall have a just and a true weight, and your measure shall be equal and true, so that you may live for a long time upon the land, which the Lord your God will give to you.
Osengeli kozala na bimekelo mpe bikolo ya kotangela ya malamu mpe ya sembo, mpo ete owumela mikolo ebele kati na mokili oyo Yawe, Nzambe na yo, akopesa yo.
16 For the Lord your God abominates him who does these things, and he loathes all injustice.
Pamba te Yawe, Nzambe na yo, amonaka nkele, moto nyonso oyo asalaka makambo wana, moto nyonso oyo asalaka makambo ya sembo te.
17 Remember what Amalek did to you, along the way, when you were departing from Egypt:
Bobosana te makambo oyo bato ya Amaleki basalaki bino tango bobimaki na Ejipito:
18 how he met you and cut down the stragglers of the troops, who were sitting down, exhausted, when you were consumed by hunger and hardship, and how he did not fear God.
tango bolembaki nzoto mpe bosilaki makasi, babimelaki bino na pwasa na mobembo na bino mpe babomaki bato nyonso oyo bazalaki na sima; babangaki Nzambe te.
19 Therefore, when the Lord your God will give you rest, and you will have subdued all the surrounding nations, in the land which he has promised to you, you shall delete his name from under heaven. Take care not to forget this.”
Tango Yawe, Nzambe na bino, akopesa bino bopemi liboso ya banguna nyonso oyo bazingeli bino kati na mokili oyo Yawe, Nzambe na bino, akopesa bino mpo na kozwa lokola libula, bosengeli koboma bato ya Amaleki mpo ete botikala lisusu te kokanisa bango kati na mokili. Bobosana te kosala likambo yango.
