Leviticus 18
1 And the Lord spoke unto Moses, saying,
Yawe alobaki na Moyize:
2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, I am the Lord your God.
« Yebisa bana ya Isalaele: ‹ Ngai nazali Yawe, Nzambe na bino.
3 After the doings of the Land of Egypt, wherein ye have dwelt, shall ye not do; and after the doings of the land of Canaan whither I am bringing you, shall ye not do; and in their customs shall ye not walk.
Bokoki te kosala makambo ndenge esalemaka na Ejipito epai wapi bozalaki kovanda to na Kanana epai wapi nazali komema bino.
4 My ordinances shall ye do, and my statutes shall ye keep, to walk therein: I am the Lord your God.
Bosengeli kotosa bobele mibeko mpe bikateli na Ngai. Nazali Yawe, Nzambe na bino.
5 And ye shall keep my statutes, and my ordinances, which if a man do, he shall live in 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 shall approach to any that are near of kin to him, to uncover their nakedness: I am the Lord.
Mobali moko te akosangisa nzoto na mwasi ya libota na ye penza. Nazali Yawe.
7 The nakedness of thy father, or the nakedness of thy mother, shalt thou not uncover: she is thy mother, thou shalt not uncover her nakedness.

10 The nakedness of thy son's daughter, or of thy daughter's daughter, —even the nakedness of any of these, shalt thou not uncover; for theirs is thy own nakedness.

14 The nakedness of thy father's brother shalt thou not uncover: his wife shalt thou not approach, she is thy aunt.
Okosambwisa te ndeko mobali ya tata na yo na kosangisa nzoto na mwasi na ye. Azali mama na yo.
15 The nakedness of thy daughter-in-law shalt thou not uncover: she is thy son's wife, thou shalt not uncover her nakedness.

16 The nakedness of thy brother's wife shalt thou not uncover: it is thy brother's nakedness.
Okosambwisa te ndeko na yo ya mobali na kosangisa nzoto na mwasi na ye.
17 The nakedness of a woman and her daughter shalt thou not uncover: her son's daughter, or her daughter's daughter shalt thou not take, to uncover her nakedness; for they are near kinswomen; it is incest.
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 And a woman together with her sister shalt thou not take, to vex her, to uncover her nakedness, beside the other, in her lifetime.

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 And with a man shalt thou not lie, as with a woman: it is an abomination.
Okosangisa nzoto te na mwana mobali ndenge basangisaka nzoto na mwana mwasi; ezali likambo ya nkele.
23 And with any beast shalt thou not lie to defile thyself therewith; neither shall any woman stand before a beast to lie down thereto: it is confusion.
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 through any of these things.; for through all these have become defiled the nations which I cast out before you:
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 And the land became defiled; wherefore I have visited its iniquity upon it, and the land itself vomited 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 Ye shall therefore keep my statutes and my ordinances, and ye shall not commit any of these abominations; neither any of your own nation, nor the stranger that sojourneth 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 all these abominations have the men of the land done, who were before you, and the land hath become defiled; )
Pamba te bato oyo bazalaki kovanda na mboka oyo liboso na bino babandaki kosala makambo oyo nyonso, bongo mboka ekomaki mbindo.
28 That the land may not vomit you out also, when ye defile it, as it hath vomited out the nations that were 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 For whosoever shall commit any of these abominations, — even the souls that commit them shall be cut off from among their people.
Moto nyonso oyo akosala moko ya makambo oyo ya nkele na miso ya Nzambe, esengeli balongola ye kati na bato na ye.
30 Therefore shall ye keep my charge, so that ye commit not any one of these abominable customs, which were committed before you, and that ye do not defile yourselves therewith: 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. › »
