Deuteronomy 7
1 And when the Lord your God shall bring you into the land, into which you go to possess it, and shall remove great nations from before you, the Chettite, and Gergesite, and Amorite, and Chananite, and Pherezite, and Evite, and Jebusite, seven nations [more] numerous and stronger than you,
Tango Yawe, Nzambe na yo, akokotisa yo na mokili oyo ozali kokende mpo na kozwa yango lokola libula mpe tango akobengana liboso na yo bikolo ebele—bato ya Iti, ya Girigazi, ya Amori, ya Kanana, ya Perizi, ya Evi mpe ya Yebusi, bikolo sambo oyo eleki yo na motango ya bato mpe na makasi—
2 and the Lord your God shall deliver them into your hands, then you shall strike them: you shall utterly destroy them: you shall not make a covenant with them, neither shall you pity them:
mpe tango Yawe, Nzambe na yo, akokaba bango na maboko na yo, mpe tango okolonga bango, okobebisa bango nyonso mpe okotika ata ndambo te; okosala ata boyokani moko te elongo na bango; koyokela bango mawa te.
3 neither shall you contract marriages with them: you shall not give your daughter to his son, and you shall not take his daughter to your son.
Okosangana ata moke te na bango na nzela ya libala, okopesa te na libala bana na yo ya basi epai ya bana na bango ya mibali, mpe okozwa te na libala bana na bango ya basi mpo na bana na yo ya mibali;
4 For he will draw away your son from me, and he will serve other gods; and the Lord will be very angry with you, and will soon utterly destroy you.
noki te, bakopengwisa bana na yo ya mibali na miso na Ngai mpo ete basalela Ngai lisusu te kasi basalela banzambe mosusu, bongo Yawe akosilikela bino mpe akobebisa yo noki.
5 But thus shall you do to them; you shall destroy their altars, and shall break down their pillars, and shall cut down their groves, and shall burn with fire the graven images of their gods.
Tala makambo oyo bosengeli kosala bango: bokokweyisa bitumbelo na bango, bokopanza bikeko na bango, bokobuka makonzi ya nzambe mwasi Ashera mpe bokotumba na moto banzambe na bango ya bikeko,
6 For you are a holy people to the Lord your God; and the Lord your God chose you to be to him a peculiar people beyond all nations that [are] upon the face of the earth.
pamba te bozali libota ya bule mpo na Yawe, Nzambe na bino. Yawe, Nzambe na bino, aponaki bino kati na bato nyonso oyo bazali na mokili mpo ete bozala bato na Ye, bozwi na Ye moko penza.
7 It was not because you are more numerous than all [other] nations that the Lord preferred you, and the Lord made choice of you: for you are fewer in number than all [other] nations.
Ezali te mpo ete bozalaki mingi koleka bato mosusu nde Yawe alakisaki bino bolingo na Ye, bozalaki kutu moke koleka bato nyonso.
8 But because the Lord loved you, and as keeping the oath which he sware to your fathers, the Lord brought you out with a strong hand, and the Lord redeemed you from the house of bondage, out of the hand of Pharao king of Egypt.
Kasi ezali mpo ete Yawe alingaka bino mpe abatelaka ndayi oyo alapaki epai ya bakoko na bino. Yango wana, na loboko na Ye ya nguya, Yawe abimisaki bino mpe asikolaki bino na mokili ya bowumbu, na maboko ya Faraon, mokonzi ya Ejipito.
9 You shall know therefore, that the Lord your God, he [is] God, a faithful God, who keeps covenant and mercy for them that love him, and for those that keep his commandments to a thousand generations,
Boye yeba ete Yawe, Nzambe na yo, azali Nzambe moko kaka ya solo; azali Nzambe ya boyengebene, abatelaka boyokani mpe bolingo na Ye kino na molongo ya nkoto ya bakitani oyo balingaka Ye mpe babatelaka mibeko na Ye.
10 and who recompenses them that hate him to their face, to destroy them utterly; and will not be slack with them that hate him: he will recompense them to their face.
Kasi azelaka te kopesa etumbu na moto oyo ayinaka Ye mpe abomaka ye mbala moko.
11 You shall keep therefore the commands, and the ordinances, and these judgments, which I command you this day to do.
Yango wana, bosala keba mpo na kosalela mitindo, bikateli mpe mibeko oyo napesi bino lelo.
12 And it shall come to pass when you shall have heard these ordinances, and shall have kept and done them, that the Lord your God shall keep for you the covenant and the mercy, which he sware to your fathers.
Soki bokosala keba na mibeko oyo mpe bokosalela yango malamu, Yawe, Nzambe na bino, akobatela bolingo mpe boyokani na Ye elongo na bino ndenge alapaki ndayi epai ya bakoko na bino.
13 And he will love you, and bless you, and multiply you; and he will bless the off-spring of your body, and the fruit of your land, your corn, and your wine, and your oil, the herds of your oxen, and the flocks of your sheep, on the land which the Lord sware to your fathers to give to you.
Akolinga bino mpe akopambola bino, akokomisa bino ebele, akopambola mabota na bino, mbuma ya mabele na bino: milona na bino, vino ya sika mpe mafuta; akopambola bitonga ya bangombe na bino, bameme na bino mpe bantaba na bino kati na mokili oyo alapaki ndayi epai ya bakoko na bino ete akopesa bino yango.
14 You shall be blessed beyond all nations; there shall not be among you an impotent or barren one, or among your cattle.
Bokopambolama koleka bato nyonso. Mobali moko te to mwasi moko te akozanga bana, mpe ebwele na yo moko te ekozanga bana.
15 And the Lord your God shall remove from you all sickness; and none of the evil diseases of Egypt, which you have seen, and all that you have known, will he lay upon you; but he will lay them upon all that hate you.
Yawe akobatela yo na bokono nyonso, akobwakela yo ata bokono moko te oyo yo oyebaki te na Ejipito, kasi akokweyisa yango likolo ya bayini na yo.
16 And you shall eat all the spoils of the nations which the Lord your God gives you; your eye shall not spare them, and you shall not serve their gods; for this is an offense to you.
Okoboma bato nyonso oyo Yawe, Nzambe na yo, akokaba na maboko na yo; okoyokela bango mawa te. Kosalela banzambe na bango te mpo ete yango ekozala motambo mpo na yo.
17 But if you should say in your heart, This nation [is] greater than I, how shall I be able to destroy them utterly?
Tango mosusu okomilobela: « Bikolo oyo ezali makasi koleka biso, ndenge nini tokolonga kobengana yango? »
18 you shall not fear them; you shall surely remember all that the Lord your God did to Pharao and to all the Egyptians:
Te! Kobanga yango soki moke te! Kanisa malamu makambo oyo Yawe, Nzambe na yo, asalaki Faraon mpe Ejipito mobimba.
19 the great temptations which your eyes have seen, those signs and great wonders, the strong hand, and the high arm; how the Lord your God brought you forth: so the Lord your God will do to all the nations, whom you fear in their presence.
Omonaki na miso na yo komekama makasi, bilembo ya kokamwa mpe bikamwa, loboko ya nguya mpe loboko esembolama oyo na nzela na yango Yawe, Nzambe na yo, abimisaki yo na Ejipito. Yawe, Nzambe na yo, akosala ndenge moko epai ya bato oyo ozali kobanga.
20 And the Lord your God shall send against them the hornets, until they that are left and they that are hidden from you be utterly destroyed.
Mpe kutu, Yawe, Nzambe na yo, akotindela bango banzoyi ya minene kino tango bato oyo bakotikala mpe bakobombama liboso na yo bakokufa.
21 You shall not be wounded before them, because the Lord your God in the midst of you [is] a great and powerful God.
Kolenga te liboso na bango, pamba te Yawe, Nzambe na yo, oyo azali kati na yo, azali Nzambe Monene mpe ya somo.
22 And the Lord your God shall consume these nations before you by little and little: you shall not be able to consume them speedily, lest the land become desert, and the wild beasts of the field be multiplied against you.
Yawe, Nzambe na yo, akobengana moke-moke bikolo oyo ezali liboso na yo; okokoka te kosilisa bango na mbala moko, noki te banyama mabe ekokoma ebele zingazinga na yo.
23 And the Lord your God shall deliver them into your hands, and you shall destroy them with a great destruction, until you shall have utterly destroyed them.
Kasi Yawe, Nzambe na yo, akokaba bango na maboko na yo, akotia bango noki na mobulu monene kino bakobebisama.
24 And he shall deliver their kings into your hands, and you shall destroy their name from that place; none shall stand up in opposition before you, until you shall have utterly destroyed them.
Yawe akokaba bakonzi na bango na maboko na yo, mpe okolimwisa bakombo na bango na mokili; moko te akokoka kotelemela yo, okobebisa bango.
25 You shall burn with fire the graven images of their gods: you shall not covet [their] silver, neither shall you take to yourself gold from them, lest you should offend thereby, because it is an abomination to the Lord your God.
Okotumba na moto banzambe na bango ya bikeko. Kolula te mpe kozwa te palata mpe wolo oyo ezali na likolo na yango, ekoki kozala motambo mpo na yo; pamba te ezali nkele na miso ya Yawe, Nzambe na yo.
26 And you shall not bring an abomination into your house, so should you be an accursed thing like it; you shall utterly hate it, and altogether abominate it, because it is an accursed thing.
Kokotisa te mpe kolinga te eloko ya mbindo kati na ndako na yo. Okotia yango pembeni mpo na kobebisa yango nyonso. Zwa yango lokola eloko ya nkele mpe ya mbindo, pamba te etiami pembeni mpo na kobebisama.
