Leviticus 17

1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

Yawe alobaki na Moyize:

2 Speak to Aaron and his sons, and to all the sons of Israel, saying to them: This is the word, which the Lord has commanded, saying:

« Yebisa Aron, bana na ye ya mibali mpe bana nyonso ya Isalaele, mpe loba na bango: ‹ Tala maloba oyo Yawe alobi:

3 Any man at all of the house of Israel, if he will have killed an ox, or a sheep, or a goat in the camp or beyond the camp,

‘Moto nyonso kati na bana ya Isalaele, oyo akokata kingo ya ngombe, ya meme to ya ntaba, ezala kati na molako to na libanda ya molako;

4 and not have presented it as an oblation to the Lord at the door of the tabernacle, he shall be guilty of blood. It is just as if he had shed blood; so then, he shall perish from the midst of his people.

mpe amemi yango te na ekotelo ya Ndako ya kapo ya Bokutani mpo na kobonza yango lokola likabo epai na Yawe liboso ya Mongombo ya Yawe, makila na yango ekotangama na moto ya moto yango. Lokola asopi makila, bakolongola ye kati na bato na ye.

5 Therefore, the sons of Israel must offer to the priest their victims, which they kill in the field, so that they may be sanctified to the Lord before the door of the tabernacle of the testimony, and so that they may immolate them as peace offerings to the Lord.

Boye, na esika ete bana ya Isalaele bamemaka bambeka na bango na bilanga, bakomema yango mpo na Yawe epai ya Nganga-Nzambe, na ekotelo ya Ndako ya kapo ya Bokutani lokola mbeka ya boyokani epai na Yawe.

6 And the priest shall pour the blood upon the altar of the Lord, at the door of the tabernacle of the testimony, and he shall burn the fat as a sweet odor to the Lord.

Nganga-Nzambe akobwaka makila na etumbelo ya Yawe, na ekotelo ya Ndako ya kapo ya Bokutani mpe akotumba mafuta na yango lokola mbeka oyo solo kitoko na yango ekosepelisa Yawe.

7 And they shall no longer immolate their victims to demons, with whom they have committed fornication. It shall be an everlasting ordinance for them and for their posterity.

Bana ya Isalaele bakobonza lisusu te bambeka na bango epai banzambe ya bikeko ya bantaba ya mibali, oyo basambelaka. Oyo ekozala malako ya libela mpo na bango mpe mpo na milongo oyo ekoya.’ ›

8 And you shall say to them: The man of the house of Israel, or of the newcomers who sojourn with you, who offers a holocaust or a victim,

Loba na bango: ‹ Moto nyonso ya Isalaele to mopaya nyonso oyo azali kati na bango, oyo akobonza mbeka ya kotumba to mbeka mosusu,

9 and who does not bring it to the door of the tabernacle of the testimony, so that it may be offered to the Lord, shall pass away from his people.

na kozanga komema yango na ekotelo ya Ndako ya kapo ya Bokutani mpo na kobonza yango epai ya Yawe, bakolongola ye kati na bato ya Isalaele.

10 Any man at all of the house of Israel, or of the newcomers who sojourn among them, if he has eaten blood, I will harden my face against his soul, and I will drive him from his people.

Nakobalukela mpe nakolongola kati na bato na ye, moto nyonso oyo akolia makila, azala moto ya Isalaele to mopaya nyonso oyo avandi kati na bango;

11 For the life of the flesh is in the blood, and I have given it to you, so that you may atone with it upon the altar for your souls, and so that the blood may be for an expiation of the soul.

pamba te bomoi ya ekelamu nyonso ezali kati na makila. Napesi bino yango mpo ete bosala na yango mosala ya bolimbisi masumu mpo na bomoi na bino, na etumbelo. Lokola bomoi ya moto ezali kati na makila, yango wana makila esalaka mosala ya bolimbisi masumu.

12 For this reason, I have said to the sons of Israel: No soul among you shall eat blood, nor among the newcomers who sojourn with you.

Boye, nalobaki na bana ya Isalaele: ‘Moto moko te mpe mopaya moko te kati na bino akoki kolia makila.’

13 Any man at all from the sons of Israel, or from the newcomers who sojourn with you, whether by hunting or bird-catching, if he seizes a wild beast or a bird, which is lawful to eat, let him pour out its blood and cover the earth with it.

Moto nyonso kati na bana ya Isalaele to mopaya oyo avandi kati na bango, oyo akokende bokila mpe akokanga nyama ya zamba to ndeke oyo baliaka, asengeli kosopa makila na yango mpe kozipa yango na mabele, pamba te bomoi ya ekelamu nyonso ezali kati na makila na yango.

14 For the life of all flesh is in the blood. Therefore, I said to the sons of Israel: You shall not eat the blood of any flesh at all, because the life of the flesh is in the blood, and whoever has eaten it shall perish.

Yango wana, nalobaki na bana ya Isalaele: ‘Bokoki kolia makila ya ekelamu ata moko te, pamba te bomoi ya ekelamu nyonso ezali kati na makila na yango. Moto oyo akolia yango, bakolongola ye kati na bato.’

15 The soul who eats what has died on its own, or what has been caught by a beast, whether he is native born or a newcomer, shall wash his clothes and himself with water, and he shall be contaminated until evening. And by this means he shall be made clean.

Moto nyonso, azala mwana mboka to mopaya, oyo akolia mosuni ya nyama oyo ekufi yango moko to oyo babomi na nyama ya zamba, akosukola bilamba na ye mpe nzoto na ye na mayi. Akozala mbindo kino na pokwa, sima na yango akokoma peto.

16 But if he will not wash his clothes and his body, he shall bear his iniquity.

Kasi soki asukoli bilamba mpe nzoto na ye te, akomema ngambo. › »
