Leviticus 18
1 Then the LORD said to Moses,
Yawe alobaki na Moyize:
2 “Speak to the Israelites and tell them: I am the LORD your God.
« Yebisa bana ya Isalaele: ‹ Ngai nazali Yawe, Nzambe na bino.
3 You must not follow the practices of the land of Egypt, where you used to live, and you must not follow the practices of the land of Canaan, into which I am bringing you. You must not walk in their customs.
Bokoki te kosala makambo ndenge esalemaka na Ejipito epai wapi bozalaki kovanda to na Kanana epai wapi nazali komema bino.
4 You are to practice My judgments and keep My statutes by walking in them. I am the LORD your God.
Bosengeli kotosa bobele mibeko mpe bikateli na Ngai. Nazali Yawe, Nzambe na bino.
5 Keep My statutes and My judgments, for the man who does these things will live by them. I am the LORD.
Bobatela mitindo mpe mibeko na Ngai, pamba te moto oyo akosalela yango akobika bomoi na ye na nzela na yango. Nazali Yawe.
6 None of you are to approach any close relative to have sexual relations. I am the LORD.
Mobali moko te akosangisa nzoto na mwasi ya libota na ye penza. Nazali Yawe.
7 You must not expose the nakedness of your father by having sexual relations with your mother. She is your mother; you must not have sexual relations with her.
Okosambwisa te tata na yo na kosangisa nzoto na mama na yo. Lokola azali mama na yo, kosambwisa ye te.
8 You must not have sexual relations with your father’s wife; it would dishonor your father.
Okosangisa nzoto te na mwasi mosusu ya tata na yo, soki te okosambwisa tata na yo.
9 You must not have sexual relations with your sister, either your father’s daughter or your mother’s daughter, whether she was born in the same home or elsewhere.
Okosangisa nzoto te na ndeko na yo ya mwasi, ezala na mwana mwasi ya tata na yo to ya mama na yo, oyo abotami na ndako to na libanda ya ndako.
10 You must not have sexual relations with your son’s daughter or your daughter’s daughter, for that would shame your family.
Okosangisa nzoto te na mwana mwasi ya mwana na yo ya mobali to ya mwasi; kosambwisa ye te.
11 You must not have sexual relations with the daughter of your father’s wife, born to your father; she is your sister.
Okosangisa nzoto te na mwana mwasi ya mwasi ya tata na yo, azali ndeko na yo ya mwasi.
12 You must not have sexual relations with your father’s sister; she is your father’s close relative.
Okosangisa nzoto te na ndeko mwasi ya tata na yo, azali tata mwasi na yo.
13 You must not have sexual relations with your mother’s sister, for she is your mother’s close relative.
Okosangisa nzoto te na ndeko mwasi ya mama na yo, azali mama leki to mama kulutu na yo.
14 You must not dishonor your father’s brother by approaching his wife to have sexual relations with her; she is your aunt.
Okosambwisa te ndeko mobali ya tata na yo na kosangisa nzoto na mwasi na ye. Azali mama na yo.
15 You must not have sexual relations with your daughter-in-law. She is your son’s wife; you are not to have sexual relations with her.
Okosangisa nzoto te na bokilo na yo. Azali mwasi ya mwana na yo, kosangisa na ye nzoto te.
16 You must not have sexual relations with your brother’s wife; that would shame your brother.
Okosambwisa te ndeko na yo ya mobali na kosangisa nzoto na mwasi na ye.
17 You must not have sexual relations with both a woman and her daughter. You are not to marry her son’s daughter or her daughter’s daughter and have sexual relations with her. They are close relatives; it is depraved.
Okosangisa nzoto te na mama mpe na mwana na ye ya mwasi to na mwana mwasi ya mwana na ye ya mobali mpe ya mwasi; pamba te bazali makila moko mpe ekozala likambo ya nkele penza na miso ya Nzambe.
18 You must not take your wife’s sister as a rival wife and have sexual relations with her while your wife is still alive.
Okosangisa nzoto te na ndeko mwasi ya mwasi na yo, wana mwasi na yo azali nanu na bomoi, noki te ekoyeisa bombanda.
19 You must not approach a woman to have sexual relations with her during her menstrual period.
Okosangisa nzoto te na mwasi oyo azali komona makila na ye ya sanza, pamba te azali mbindo.
20 You must not lie carnally with your neighbor’s wife and thus defile yourself with her.
Okosangisa nzoto te na mwasi ya moninga na yo, noki te okokoma mbindo elongo na ye.
21 You must not give any of your children to be sacrificed to Molech, for you must not profane the name of your God. I am the LORD.
Okopesa moko kati na bana na yo te lokola mbeka epai ya nzambe Moloki, pamba te osengeli te kobebisa lokumu ya Kombo ya Nzambe na yo. Ngai nazali Yawe.
22 You must not lie with a man as with a woman; that is an abomination.
Okosangisa nzoto te na mwana mobali ndenge basangisaka nzoto na mwana mwasi; ezali likambo ya nkele.
23 You must not lie carnally with any animal, thus defiling yourself with it; a woman must not stand before an animal to mate with it; that is a perversion.
Okosangisa nzoto te na nyama, noki te okokoma mbindo elongo na yango. Ndenge moko mpe mwasi akosangisa nzoto te na nyama: ezali kotiola Nzambe.
24 Do not defile yourselves by any of these practices, for by all these things the nations I am driving out before you have defiled themselves.
Bomikomisa mbindo te na moko ya makambo oyo, pamba te ezali na nzela na yango nde bato ya bikolo oyo nazali kobengana liboso na bino bamikomisaki mbindo.
25 Even the land has become defiled, so I am punishing it for its sin, and the land will vomit out its inhabitants.
Lokola mboka yango moko mpe ekomaki mbindo, napesaki yango mpe etumbu mpo na lisumu na yango; bongo esanzaki bavandi na yango.
26 But you are to keep My statutes and ordinances, and you must not commit any of these abominations—neither your native-born nor the foreigner who lives among you.
Kasi, ezala mwana mboka to mopaya oyo bazali kati na bino, bosengeli kotosa malako mpe bikateli na Ngai; mpe bosengeli koboya kosala makambo nyonso oyo ya nkele na miso ya Nzambe.
27 For the men who were in the land before you committed all these abominations, and the land has become defiled.
Pamba te bato oyo bazalaki kovanda na mboka oyo liboso na bino babandaki kosala makambo oyo nyonso, bongo mboka ekomaki mbindo.
28 So if you defile the land, it will vomit you out as it spewed out the nations before you.
Bino bokeba ete bokomisa mboka mbindo te, mpo ete yango esanza bino te ndenge esanzaki bato ya bikolo oyo bazalaki liboso na bino.
29 Therefore anyone who commits any of these abominations must be cut off from among his people.
Moto nyonso oyo akosala moko ya makambo oyo ya nkele na miso ya Nzambe, esengeli balongola ye kati na bato na ye.
30 You must keep My charge not to practice any of the abominable customs that were practiced before you, so that you do not defile yourselves by them. I am the LORD your God.”
Boye, bobatela malako na Ngai mpe bolanda ata likambo moko te kati na makambo mabe oyo ezalaki kosalema liboso ete bino boya, mpo ete bomikomisa mbindo te na nzela na yango. Nazali Yawe, Nzambe na bino. › »
