Deuteronomy 25
1 If there be a controversy between men, and they come unto judgment, and the judges judge them, by justifying the righteous, and condemning the wicked,
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 then it shall be, if the wicked man deserve to be beaten, that the judge shall cause him to lie down, and to be beaten before his face, according to the measure of his wickedness, by number.
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 Forty stripes he may give him, he shall not exceed; lest, if he should exceed, and beat him above these with many stripes, then thy brother should be dishonoured before thine 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 Thou shalt not muzzle the ox when he treadeth out the corn.
Osengeli te kokanga monoko ya ngombe oyo ezali konika bambuma.
5 If brethren dwell together, and one of them die, and have no child, the wife of the dead shall not be married abroad unto one not of his kin; her husband's brother shall go in unto her, and take her to him to wife, and perform the duty of a husband's brother unto her.
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 it shall be, that the first-born that she beareth shall succeed in the name of his brother that is dead, that his name be not blotted out of 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 And if the man like not to take his brother's wife, then his brother's wife shall go up to the gate unto the elders, and say: 'My husband's brother refuseth to raise up unto his brother a name in Israel; he will not perform the duty of a husband's brother unto 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 Then the elders of his city shall call him, and speak unto him; and if he stand, and say: 'I like not to take her';
Boye, bampaka ya engumba wana bakobengisa mobali yango mpe bakoloba na ye. Soki akobi kaka koboya kobala semeki na ye,
9 then shall his brother's wife draw nigh unto him in the presence of the elders, and loose his shoe from off his foot, and spit in his face; and she shall answer and say: 'So shall it be done unto the man that doth not 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 him that had his shoe loosed.
Boye, kati na Isalaele, bakobanda kobenga bakitani ya moto wana « bana ya moto oyo balongola sandale. »
11 When men strive together one with another, and the wife of the one draweth near to deliver her husband out of the hand of him that smiteth him, and putteth forth her hand, and taketh him by the secrets;
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 thou shalt cut off her hand, thine eye shall have no pity.
bokokata loboko na ye. Bokoyokela ye mawa te.
13 Thou shalt not have in thy bag diverse weights, a great and a small.
Okoki te kozala na bimekelo mibale ya kilo ekesana kati na saki na yo: moko eleki kilo mpe mosusu eleki pepele.
14 Thou shalt not have in thy house diverse measures, a great and a small.
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 A perfect and just weight shalt thou have; a perfect and just measure shalt thou have; that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.
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 all that do such things, even all that do unrighteously, are an abomination unto the LORD thy God.
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 unto thee by the way as ye came forth out of Egypt;
Bobosana te makambo oyo bato ya Amaleki basalaki bino tango bobimaki na Ejipito:
18 how he met thee by the way, and smote the hindmost of thee, all that were enfeebled in thy rear, when thou wast faint and weary; and he feared not 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 it shall be, when the LORD thy God hath given thee rest from all thine enemies round about, in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee for an inheritance to possess it, that thou shalt blot out the remembrance of Amalek from under heaven; thou shalt not forget.
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.
