Leviticus 21
1 And the Lord said unto Moses, Speak unto the priests the sons of Aaron, and say unto them, None [of them] shall defile himself on the dead, among his people;
Yawe ayebisaki Moyize: « Loba na Banganga-Nzambe, bana mibali ya Aron: ‹ Nganga-Nzambe akoki te komikomisa mbindo na kosimba ebembe ya moto moko kati na libota na ye,
2 But on his kin, that is near unto him, [that is, ] on his mother, and on his father, and on his son, and on his daughter, and on his brother,
longola kaka soki ezali ebembe ya mama na ye, ya tata na ye, ya mwana na ye ya mobali to ya mwana na ye ya mwasi, ya ndeko na ye ya mobali.
3 And on his sister that is a virgin, that is nigh unto him, who hath had no husband: on her may he defile himself.
Mpo na ndeko na ye ya mwasi oyo ayebi nanu nzoto ya mibali te, oyo azali nanu na maboko na ye awa abali nanu te; Nganga-Nzambe akoki komikomisa mbindo.
4 The chief man among his people shall not defile himself, to be profaned thereby.
Lokola azali mokambi kati na bato na ye, akoki te komikomisa mbindo; noki te akobebisa bosantu mpe lokumu na ye.
5 They shall not make any baldness upon their head, and the corner of their beard shall they not shave off, and in their flesh shall they not make any incision.
Banganga-Nzambe bakoki te komikokola suki ya moto, kokata mandefu na bapembeni to kokata nzoloko na banzoto na bango.
6 Holy shall they be unto their God, and they shall not profane the name of their God; for the fire-offerings of the Lord, the bread of their God, do they offer, they shall therefore be holy.
Nzokande basengeli kozala bato bamibulisi mpo na mosala na Ngai Nzambe na bango. Boye, basengeli te kobebisa lokumu mpe bosantu ya Kombo ya Nzambe na bango; pamba te ezali bango nde babonzaka makabo bazikisa na moto mpo na Yawe, bilei ya Nzambe na bango. Mpo na yango, basengeli kozala bule mpo na Yawe.
7 A woman that is a harlot, or one profaned, shall they not take; and a woman put away from her husband shall they not take; for holy is he unto his God.
Banganga-Nzambe basengeli te kobala basi oyo basalaka kindumba to ba-oyo babebisa lokumu na bango na nzela ya mibali mosusu to ba-oyo babengana bango na libala. Pamba te, Banganga-Nzambe bazali basantu oyo babulisami mpo na mosala na Ngai Nzambe na bango.
8 And thou shalt sanctify him; for the bread of thy God doth he offer: holy shall he be unto thee; for I the Lord, who sanctify you, am holy.
Bato nyonso ya Isalaele basengeli komona bango lokola basantu, pamba te babonzaka bilei ya Nzambe na bino. Bomona bango basantu mpo ete Ngai Yawe oyo naponi Isalaele mpe nakomisi bino basantu, nazali Mosantu.
9 And if the daughter of any priest profane herself by committing incest, her father doth she profane: with fire shall she be burnt.
Mwana mwasi ya Nganga-Nzambe oyo abebisi lokumu na ye na kosala kindumba asambwisi nde tata na ye; boye esengeli kotumba ye ya bomoi na moto.
10 And the priest that is highest among his brethren, upon whose head the anointing oil hath been poured, and who hath been consecrated to put on the garments, shall not let the hair of his head grow long, and his garments shall he not rend;
Mokonzi ya Banganga-Nzambe azali na bokonzi likolo ya Banganga-Nzambe mosusu; basopelaki ye mafuta ya epakolami na moto mpo na kobulisa ye, mpe asengeli kolata bilamba ya bonganga-Nzambe. Mpo na yango, asengeli te kopanza suki na ye ya moto to kopasola bilamba na ye na mokolo ya matanga.
11 Neither shall he go in to any dead body; even on his father, and on his mother shall he not defile himself.
Akoki te kopusana pembeni ya ebembe mpe komikomisa mbindo mpo na kufa ya tata na ye to ya mama na ye.
12 And out of the sanctuary shall he not go, that he may not profane the sanctuary of his God; for the crown of the anointing oil of his God is upon him: I am the Lord.
Azali na ndingisa te ya kotika Esika ya bule ya Nzambe na ye to kobebisa bosantu na yango, pamba te abulisamaki na nzela ya mafuta ya epakolami ya Nzambe na ye. Nazali Yawe.
13 And he shall take a wife in her virgin state.
Mokonzi ya Banganga-Nzambe asengeli kobala mwasi oyo ayebi nanu nzoto ya mibali te.
14 A widow, and a divorced woman, and one profaned, [and] a harlot, these shall he not take; but a virgin of his own people shall he take for wife;
Akoki kobala te mwasi oyo akufisa mobali, mwasi oyo babengani na libala to mwasi oyo abebisa lokumu na ye na kosala kindumba; kasi akobala kaka, kati na bato na ye, mwasi oyo ayebi nanu nzoto ya mibali te.
15 So that he may not profane his seed among his people; for I, the Lord, do sanctify him.
Na bongo, akobebisa te bosantu ya bakitani na ye kati na bato na ye; pamba te ezali Ngai Yawe nde nabulisi ye. › »
16 And the Lord spoke unto Moses, saying,
Yawe ayebisaki Moyize:
17 Speak unto Aaron, saying, Whosoever of thy seed in their generations it be on whom there is any blemish, shall not approach to offer the bread of his God.
« Loba na Aron: ‹ Kati na bana na yo nyonso na milongo oyo ekoya, moto moko te oyo azali na mbeba na nzoto na ye, akoki kopusana mpo na kobonza bilei ya Nzambe na ye.
18 For whatsoever man it be on whom there is a blemish, shall not approach: a blind, or a lame man, or one that hath a flattened nose, or a man one of whose limbs is too long,
Moto moko te oyo azali na mbeba na nzoto akoki kopusana pembeni ya etumbelo: mokufi miso, moto oyo atambolaka tengu-tengu; moto oyo abeba na elongi, na makolo mpe oyo maboko to makolo na ye ekokana te,
19 Or a man who hath a broken foot, or a broken hand,
moto oyo abukana lokolo to loboko,
20 Or a crookbacked, or a dwarf, or one that hath a blemish in his eye, or the itch, or the scurvy, or the testicles broken.
moto oyo azali na kunki na mokongo to oyo azali penza mokuse; moto oyo azali na liso ekufa, na makwanza, na mapalata to oyo baboma mokongo.
21 Every man on whom there is a blemish, of the seed of Aaron the priest, shall not come nigh to offer the fire-offerings of the Lord: there is a blemish on him; he shall not come nigh to offer the bread of his God.
Kati na bakitani ya Nganga-Nzambe Aron, moko te oyo azali na mbeba na nzoto akopusana pembeni ya etumbelo mpo na kobonza makabo bazikisa na moto mpo na Yawe. Lokola azali na mbeba na nzoto na ye, akoki te kopusana mpo na kobonza bilei ya Nzambe na ye.
22 The brewed of his God, both of the most holy, and of the holy things he may eat.
Akoki na ye kolia bilei nyonso oyo bakobonzela Ngai Nzambe na ye, bilei ya bule mpe bilei oyo eleki bule.
23 Only unto the vail, and unto the altar shall he not come nigh, because there is a blemish on him; that he profane not my holy things; for I the Lord do sanctify them.
Kasi mpo na mbeba ya nzoto na ye, akoki te kopusana pembeni ya rido ya Esika ya bule to ya etumbelo, mpo ete abebisa te bosantu ya Esika na Ngai ya bule, pamba te Ngai nazali Yawe, mpe ezali Ngai nde nabulisaki Banganga-Nzambe mpo na mosala na Ngai. › »
24 And Moses spoke thus unto Aaron, and to his sons, and unto all the children of Israel.
Moyize alobaki makambo oyo epai ya Aron, epai ya bana na ye ya mibali, mpe epai ya bana nyonso ya Isalaele.
