Leviticus 17
1 And the Lord spoke unto Moses, saying,
Yawe alobaki na Moyize:
2 Speak unto Aaron, and unto his sons, and unto all the children of Israel, and say unto them, This is the thing which the Lord hath 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 whatsoever of the house of Israel, that killeth an ox, or a sheep, or a goat, in the camp, or that killeth it out of 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 bringeth it not to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, to offer it as an offering unto the Lord before the tabernacle of the Lord: as blood-guiltiness shall it be imputed unto that man, blood hath he shed; and that man shall be cut off from among 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 In order that the children of Israel may bring their sacrifices, which they slay in the open field, and bring them unto the Lord, to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, unto the priest, and slay them as sacrifices of peace-offerings unto 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 sprinkle the blood upon the altar of the Lord at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation; and he shall burn the fat for a sweet savor unto 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 So that they shall offer no more their sacrifices unto evil spirits, after which they have gone astray: a statute for ever shall this be unto them throughout their generations.
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 unto them shalt thou say, Whatsoever man there be of the house of Israel, or of the strangers who may sojourn among them, that offereth a burnt-offering or a sacrifice,
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 bringeth it not unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, to offer it unto the Lord: even that man shall be cut off from among 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 And if there be any man of the house of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn among them, that eateth any manner of blood: I will set my face against the person that eateth the blood, and I will cut him off from among 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 appointed it for you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls; for the blood it is that maketh an atonement for 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 Therefore have I said unto the children of Israel, No one of you shall eat blood, and the stranger that sojourneth among you shall not eat blood.
Boye, nalobaki na bana ya Isalaele: ‘Moto moko te mpe mopaya moko te kati na bino akoki kolia makila.’
13 And if there be any man whatsoever of the children of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn among them, who catcheth by hunting any beast or fowl that may be eaten: then shall he pour out the blood thereof, and cover it up with dust.
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 its blood, on which its life dependeth; therefore have I said unto the children of Israel, The blood of every manner of flesh shall ye not eat; for the life of all flesh is its blood, every one who eateth it shall be cut off.
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 And every person that eateth that which hath died of itself, or that which was torn by beasts, be this one born in your own country, or a stranger, shall both wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the evening, when he shall be 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 wash [them] not, nor bathe his flesh, then shall he bear his iniquity.
Kasi soki asukoli bilamba mpe nzoto na ye te, akomema ngambo. › »
