Numbers 18
1 So the LORD said to Aaron, “You and your sons and your father’s house must bear the iniquity involving the sanctuary. And you and your sons alone must bear the iniquity involving your priesthood.
Yawe alobaki na Aron: « Yo elongo na bana na yo ya mibali mpe libota na yo bokomema mokumba ya masumu oyo ekosalema mpo na kobebisa bosantu ya Esika ya bule; mpe lisusu yo kaka elongo na bana na yo ya mibali nde bokomema mokumba ya masumu oyo ekosalema na mosala ya bonganga-Nzambe.
2 But bring with you also your brothers from the tribe of Levi, the tribe of your father, that they may join you and assist you and your sons before the Tent of the Testimony.
Yeisa pene na yo bandeko na yo ya mibali, Balevi, bato ya libota ya koko na yo, mpo ete basunga yo tango yo elongo na bana na yo ya mibali bokosala mosala ya bonganga-Nzambe liboso ya Ndako ya kapo ya Litatoli.
3 And they shall attend to your duties and to all the duties of the Tent; but they must not come near to the furnishings of the sanctuary or the altar, or both they and you will die.
Bakosunga yo mpe bakosala misala nyonso ya Ndako ya kapo kasi bakopusana te pene ya bisalelo ya Esika ya bule mpe ya etumbelo, noki te bango to bino bokokufa.
4 They are to join you and attend to the duties of the Tent of Meeting, doing all the work at the Tent; but no outsider may come near you.
Bakosunga yo mpe bakozala na mokumba ya kobatela Ndako ya kapo ya Bokutani, mosala nyonso ya Ndako ya kapo, mpe moto mosusu te akoki kopusana pene ya esika oyo bozali.
5 And you shall attend to the duties of the sanctuary and of the altar, so that wrath may not fall on the Israelites again.
Bino nde bokozala na mokumba ya kobatela Esika ya bule mpe etumbelo, mpo ete kanda makasi ekweya lisusu likolo ya Isalaele te.
6 Behold, I Myself have selected your fellow Levites from the Israelites as a gift to you, dedicated to the LORD to perform the service for the Tent of Meeting.
Tala, Ngai moko nde naponaki bandeko na yo, Balevi, kati na bana ya Isalaele lokola likabo mpo na yo; babulisami mpo na Yawe mpo na kosala mosala ya Ndako ya kapo ya Bokutani.
7 But only you and your sons shall attend to your priesthood for everything concerning the altar and what is inside the veil, and you are to perform that service. I am giving you the work of the priesthood as a gift, but any outsider who comes near the sanctuary must be put to death.”
Kasi ekozala kaka yo elongo na bana na yo ya mibali nde bokosala mosala lokola Banganga-Nzambe na makambo nyonso oyo etali etumbelo mpe oyo esalemaka na sima ya rido. Nazali kopesa yo mosala ya bonganga-Nzambe lokola likabo. Moto mosusu oyo akopusana pene ya Esika ya bule asengeli kokufa. »
8 Then the LORD said to Aaron, “Behold, I have put you in charge of My offerings. As for all the sacred offerings of the Israelites, I have given them to you and your sons as a portion and a permanent statute.
Bongo Yawe alobaki lisusu na Aron: « Ngai moko napesi yo mokumba ya kobatela makabo oyo babonzeli Ngai. Napesi na yo mpe na bana na yo ya mibali, lokola eteni na bino, makabo nyonso ya bule oyo bana ya Isalaele bapesi Ngai: ezali mobeko ya libela na libela.
9 A portion of the most holy offerings reserved from the fire will be yours. From all the offerings they render to Me as most holy offerings, whether grain offerings or sin offerings or guilt offerings, that part belongs to you and your sons.
Tala eteni oyo okozwa kati na makabo ya bule oyo eleki kitoko, oyo batumba na moto te: makabo nyonso oyo bakomemela Ngai lokola makabo oyo eleki bule, ezala makabo ya bagato to bambeka mpo na masumu to bambeka nyonso ya kozongisa boyokani; biteni wana nyonso ekozala mpo na yo elongo na bana na yo.
10 You are to eat it as a most holy offering, and every male may eat it. You shall regard it as holy.
Bokolia yango lokola biloko oyo eleki bule, mwana mobali nyonso akolia yango. Bokotala yango lokola eloko ya bule.
11 And this is yours as well: the offering of their gifts, along with all the wave offerings of the Israelites. I have given this to you and your sons and daughters as a permanent statute. Every ceremonially clean person in your household may eat it.
Tala lisusu biloko oyo ekozala mpo na yo: biloko nyonso oyo bakobonza kati na makabo oyo ekowuta na maboko ya bana ya Isalaele. Napesi yango epai na yo elongo na bana na yo ya mibali mpe ya basi, lokola mobeko ya libela na libela. Moto nyonso kati na ndako na yo, oyo akozala peto akoki kolia yango.
12 I give you all the freshest olive oil and all the finest new wine and grain that the Israelites give to the LORD as their firstfruits.
Napesi yo mafuta nyonso ya olive oyo eleki kitoko, vino ya sika mpe ble oyo bapesi epai na Yawe lokola mbuma ya liboso ya milona na bango.
13 The firstfruits of everything in their land that they bring to the LORD will belong to you. Every ceremonially clean person in your household may eat them.
Bambuma ya liboso ya mokili, oyo bakomema epai na Yawe ekozala mpo na yo. Moto nyonso kati na ndako na yo, oyo akozala peto, akoki kolia yango.
14 Every devoted thing in Israel belongs to you.
Eloko nyonso, kati na Isalaele, oyo ekokabama epai na Yawe ekozala mpo na yo.
15 The firstborn of every womb, whether man or beast, that is offered to the LORD belongs to you. But you must surely redeem every firstborn son and every firstborn male of unclean animals.
Mpe lisusu, bana liboso nyonso, ezala ya bato to ya banyama oyo bakomema epai na Yawe bakozala mpo na yo. Kasi osengeli kosikola mwana mobali nyonso ya liboso ya moto to ya nyama ya mbindo.
16 You are to pay the redemption price for a month-old male according to your valuation: five shekels of silver, according to the sanctuary shekel, which is twenty gerahs.
Tango bakokokisa sanza moko, osengeli kosikola bango na motuya ya mbongo ya bibende mitano ya palata, oyo moko na moko kati na yango ezali ya bagrame zomi, kolanda ndenge bamekaka kilo kati na Mongombo.
17 But you must not redeem the firstborn of an ox, a sheep, or a goat; they are holy. You are to sprinkle their blood on the altar and burn their fat as an offering made by fire, a pleasing aroma to the LORD.
Kasi osengeli te kosikola mwana liboso ya ngombe, ya meme to ya ntaba, pamba te ezali bule. Okosopa makila na yango na etumbelo mpe okotumba mafuta na yango lokola likabo bazikisa na moto, likabo ya solo kitoko mpo na Yawe.
18 And their meat belongs to you, just as the breast and right thigh of the wave offering belong to you.
Misuni na yango ekozala mpo na yo, ndenge moko mpe mpo na tolo mpe mopende ya loboko ya mobali oyo batombolaka mpo na kobonzela Ngai.
19 All the holy offerings that the Israelites present to the LORD I give to you and to your sons and daughters as a permanent statute. It is a permanent covenant of salt before the LORD for you and your offspring.”
Napesi yo elongo na bana na yo ya mibali mpe ya basi, lokola ekateli ya libele na libela, biloko nyonso oyo bana ya Isalaele bakotiaka pembeni mpo na kobonza epai na Yawe lokola makabo ya bule. Ezali boyokani ya seko, oyo ekobongwanaka te liboso ya Yawe mpo na yo mpe bakitani na yo. »
20 Then the LORD said to Aaron, “You will have no inheritance in their land, nor will you have any portion among them. I am your portion and your inheritance among the Israelites.
Yawe alobaki na Aron: « Okozwa eteni ya mabele te kati na mokili na bango, mpe okozwa ata bomengo moko te lokola libula kati na bana ya Isalaele, pamba te Ngai moko nde nazali bomengo mpe libula na bino kati na bana ya Isalaele.
21 Behold, I have given to the Levites all the tithes in Israel as an inheritance in return for the work they do, the service of the Tent of Meeting.
Napesi lokola libula, epai ya Balevi, biteni nyonso ya zomi oyo ekozwama kati na Isalaele lokola lifuti ya mosala oyo basalaka kati na Ndako ya kapo ya Bokutani.
22 No longer may the Israelites come near to the Tent of Meeting, or they will incur guilt and die.
Kobanda sik’oyo, bana ya Isalaele basengeli lisusu te kopusana pene ya Ndako ya kapo ya Bokutani, noki te bakomema mokumba ya masumu na bango mpe bakokufa.
23 The Levites are to perform the work of the Tent of Meeting, and they must bear their iniquity. This is a permanent statute for the generations to come. The Levites will not receive an inheritance among the Israelites.
Ezali Balevi nde bazali na mokumba ya kosala mosala na Ndako ya kapo ya Bokutani mpe ya komema mokumba ya bambeba na bango na kati na yango. Oyo ezali mobeko ya libela mpo na bileko oyo ekoya ya sima. Bakozwa libula moko te elongo na bana ya Isalaele.
24 For I have given to the Levites as their inheritance the tithe that the Israelites present to the LORD as a contribution. That is why I told them that they would not receive an inheritance among the Israelites.”
Na esika na yango, napesi epai ya Balevi lokola libula na bango, biteni moko nyonso kati na biteni zomi oyo bana ya Isalaele bakopesa lokola likabo epai na Yawe. Yango wana, nalobaki na tina na bango: ‹ Bakozwa libula moko te elongo na bana ya Isalaele. › »
25 And the LORD instructed Moses,
Yawe alobaki na Moyize:
26 “Speak to the Levites and tell them: ‘When you receive from the Israelites the tithe that I have given you as your inheritance, you must present part of it as an offering to the LORD—a tithe of the tithe.
« Loba na Balevi mpe yebisa bango: ‹ Tango bokozwa na maboko ya bana ya Isalaele eteni ya zomi oyo napesi bino lokola libula, bosengeli kopesa eteni ya zomi ya biteni wana ya zomi lokola likabo mpo na Yawe.
27 Your offering will be reckoned to you as grain from the threshing floor or juice from the winepress.
Likabo yango ekozala mpo na bino lokola oyo balongolaka na ble oyo bazali kobuka na elanga mpe na vino ya sika oyo ezali kobima na ekamolelo.
28 So you are to present an offering to the LORD from all the tithes you receive from the Israelites, and from these you are to give the LORD’s offering to Aaron the priest.
Na nzela wana nde bino mpe bokobonza makabo epai na Yawe wuta na biteni nyonso ya zomi oyo bokozwa na maboko ya bana ya Isalaele. Mpe wuta na biteni wana ya zomi, bosengeli kopesa eteni ya Yawe epai ya Nganga-Nzambe Aron.
29 You must present the offering due the LORD from all the best of every gift, the holiest part of it.’
Kati na makabo nyonso oyo bokozwa, bosengeli kopesa epai na Yawe eteni oyo eleki kitoko mpe eleki bule. ›
30 Therefore say to the Levites, ‘When you have presented the best part, it will be reckoned to you as the produce of the threshing floor or winepress.
Loba na Balevi: ‹ Tango bokopesa eteni oyo eleki kitoko, ekotangama mpo na bino lokola bambuma oyo elanga eboti mpe lokola vino oyo ekamolelo ebimisi.
31 And you and your households may eat the rest of it anywhere; it is the compensation for your work at the Tent of Meeting.
Bino elongo na mabota na bino, bokolia yango na bisika nyonso, pamba te yango ezali lifuti na bino mpo na mosala na bino kati na Ndako ya kapo ya Bokutani.
32 Once you have presented the best part of it, you will not incur guilt because of it. But you must not defile the sacred offerings of the Israelites, or else you will die.’”
Na nzela ya kopesa eteni wana oyo eleki kitoko, bokozala na ngambo te na likambo wana, bokobebisa te bosantu ya makabo ya bana ya Isalaele mpe bokokufa te. › »
