Exodus 30
1 “[Tell the skilled workers to] make an altar from acacia wood, for burning incense.
Okosala lisusu etumbelo ya malasi na nzete ya akasia.
2 It is to be square, (18 in./45 cm.) on each side. It is to be (3 feet/90 cm.) high. [Tell them to] make [a projection that looks like] a horn on each of the top corners. The projections must be carved from the same block of wood that the altar [is made from].
Molayi mpe mokuse na yango ekozala ndenge moko, basantimetele pene tuku mitano; mpe bosanda na yango ekozala na metele moko. Maseke na yango ekokangana na etumbelo.
3 [They must] cover the top and the four sides, including the projections, with pure gold. Put a gold border around the altar, [near the top].
Okobamba wolo ya peto na likolo ya etumbelo, na mipanzi na yango mpe na maseke; mpe okozingela pembeni na yango na libende ya wolo.
4 [They must] make two gold rings for carrying the altar. [They must] attach them to the altar below the border, one on each side of the altar. These rings are for the poles for carrying the altar.
Okosala mpo na etumbelo bapete ya wolo na se ya ebende ya wolo oyo ezingeli yango: mibale na ngambo moko, mpe mibale na ngambo mosusu; mpo na kokotisa mabaya ya komemela etumbelo.
5 [Tell them to] make these [two] poles from acacia wood and cover them with gold.
Okosala mabaya yango na nzete ya akasia mpe okobamba yango wolo.
6 [They must] put this altar outside the curtain that hangs in front of the sacred chest and its lid. That is the place where I will talk with you.
Okotia etumbelo liboso ya rido oyo ezali liboso ya Sanduku ya Litatoli, liboso ya esika ya bolimbisi masumu oyo ezali na likolo ya Sanduku ya Litatoli. Ezali na esika yango nde nakobanda kokutana na yo.
7 Aaron must burn sweet-smelling incense on this altar. He must burn some every morning when he takes care of the lamps,
Tongo nyonso, Aron akotumba ansa na etumbelo yango tango akobongisa minda; mpe pokwa nyonso, tango akopelisa yango.
8 and he must burn some in the evening when he lights the lamps. The incense must be burned continually, throughout all future generations.
Aron asengeli kotumba lisusu ansa tango akopelisa minda na pokwa mpo ete ansa epelaka tango nyonso liboso ya Yawe mpo na libela.
9 The priests must not burn on the altar any incense that I have not told you to burn, or burn any animal on it, or any grain offering for me, or pour any wine on it as an offering.
Kobonza te na etumbelo: ansa oyo elongobani te, mbeka ya kotumba to makabo ya bambuma. Mpe kosopa te likolo na yango makabo ya masanga ya vino.
10 One time every year Aaron must perform the ritual for making this altar pure. He must do it by putting on its four projections some of the blood from the animal that was sacrificed (to remove the guilt of the people’s sins/so that the people would no longer be guilty for sins). This ritual is to be done by Aaron and his descendants throughout all future generations. This altar must be completely dedicated to me, Yahweh.”
Mbala moko na mobu, Aron asengeli kosala mosala ya bolimbisi masumu, na maseke ya etumbelo; akosala yango na makila ya mbeka ya masumu mpo na milongo oyo ekoya. Etumbelo ekozala bule koleka mpo na Yawe.
11 Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
Yawe alobaki na Moyize:
12 “When your [leaders] (take a census of/count) the Israeli people, each man [who is counted] must pay to me a price to save his life. They must do this in order that no disaster will happen to them while the people are being counted.
— Tango okotanga bana ya Isalaele, moko na moko kati na bango akofuta mpo na Yawe, mpako mpo na kosikola bomoi na ye tango bakotanga ye. Boye etumbu moko te ekokweyela bango tango bakotangama.
13 Every man who is counted must pay to me (0.2 ounces/5.7 grams) of silver. They must use the official standard when they weigh the silver.
Moto nyonso oyo batangi asengeli kofuta motuya oyo mpo na Yawe lokola mpako, kolanda ndenge bamekaka kilo kati na Mongombo: bagrame motoba ya palata.
14 All the men who are at least 20 years old must pay this amount to me when the people are counted.
Moto nyonso oyo batangi, kobanda mibu tuku mibale to koleka, akofuta mpako mpo na Yawe.
15 Rich men must not pay more than this amount, and poor men must not pay less than this amount, when they pay this money to save their lives.
Na tango ya kofuta mpako mpo na Yawe, mpo na kosikola bomoi na bino, mozwi akofuta te motuya koleka bagrame motoba ya palata, mpe mobola akofuta te motuya oyo ezali na se ya bagrame motoba.
16 Your leaders must collect this money from the Israeli people and give it to [those who will] take care of the Sacred Tent. This money is the payment for the lives of those who take care of the Sacred Tent, (to enable me not to forget them/and then I will remember to protect them).”
Okozwa epai ya bana ya Isalaele mpako mpo na kosikola bomoi na bango mpe okosalela yango mpo na mosala ya kobongisa Ndako ya kapo ya Bokutani. Ekozala mpo na bana ya Isalaele ekaniseli liboso ya Yawe mpo na lisiko ya bomoi na bango.
17 Yahweh [also] said to Moses/me,
Yawe alobaki na Moyize:
18 “[Tell the skilled workers to] make a bronze washbasin and a bronze base for it. [They must] put it between the Sacred Tent and the altar, and fill it with water.
— Okosala na bronze sani moko monene mpo na komipetola mpe evandelo na yango; okotia yango na kati-kati ya Ndako ya kapo ya Bokutani mpe etumbelo, mpe okotia mayi kati na yango.
19 Aaron and his sons must ritually wash their hands and their feet with this water
Aron mpe bana na ye ya mibali bakobanda kosukola maboko mpe makolo na bango na mayi ya sani yango.
20 before they enter the Sacred Tent and before they come to the altar to sacrifice offerings that will be burned on it. If [they do that], they will not die [because of disobeying my instructions].
Basengeli kosukola na mayi yango mpo ete bakufa te tango bakokota na Ndako ya kapo ya Bokutani to tango bakopusana pembeni ya etumbelo mpo na kotumba makabo bazikisa na moto mpo na Yawe.
21 They must wash their hands and their feet, in order that they will not die. They and the males descended from them must obey this ritual throughout all generations.”
Basengeli kosukola makolo mpe maboko na bango mpo ete bakufa te. Oyo ezali mobeko oyo ekobongwana te mpo na Aron mpe bakitani na ye mpo na libela.
22 Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
Yawe alobaki na Moyize:
23 “[Tell the people to] collect some of the finest spices— (12 pounds/6 kg.) of (liquid myrrh/sweet-smelling sap named myrrh), (6 pounds/3 kg.) of sweet-smelling cinnamon, (6 pounds/3 kg.) of a sweet-smelling cane/reed,
— Zwa mafuta ya solo kitoko: bakilo motoba ya mire, kati-kati na yango to bakilo misato ya sinamoni, bakilo misato ya kaneli,
24 and (12 pounds/6 kg.) of (cassia/a sweet-smelling bark named cassia). [Be sure] that they use the official standard when they weigh these things. Tell an expert perfumer to mix these with (one gallon/four liters) of olive oil
bakilo misato ya kasia, kolanda ndenge bamekaka kilo kati na Esika ya bule, mpe balitele motoba ya mafuta ya olive.
25 to make sacred oil for anointing.
Na biloko oyo nyonso, okosala mafuta ya epakolami ya bule, ya solo kitoko, oyo esalemi na mosali malasi; ekozala mafuta ya bule mpo na epakolami.
26 Use this oil for anointing the Sacred Tent, the sacred chest,
Okosalela mafuta yango mpo na kopakola Ndako ya kapo ya Bokutani, Sanduku ya Litatoli,
27 the table and all the things that are used with it, the lampstand and all the things that are used to take care of it, the altar for [burning] incense,
mesa mpe bisalelo na yango nyonso, etelemiselo ya minda mpe biloko na yango nyonso, etumbelo ya malasi,
28 and the altar for offering sacrifices that will be burned, along with its bases and the washbasin and all the things that are used with it.
etumbelo ya bambeka ya kotumba mpe bisalelo na yango nyonso elongo na sani mpo na komipetola mpe evandelo na yango.
29 Dedicate them by anointing them, in order that they will be completely holy/sacred. Anyone or anything that touches the altar will become taboo.
Okobulisa yango mpo ete ezala bule koleka. Nyonso oyo ekotutana na yango ekozala bule.
30 And anoint Aaron and his sons. [By doing that], you will dedicate them to serve me [by being] priests.
Okopakola Aron mpe bana na ye ya mibali mafuta mpe okobulisa bango mpo ete basalela Ngai lokola Banganga-Nzambe.
31 And tell the Israeli people, ‘This oil will be my sacred anointing oil that must be used throughout all future generations.
Sima, okoloba na bana ya Isalaele: « Mafuta oyo ya epakolami ebulisami libela na libela mpo na Yawe.
32 You must not pour it on the bodies of people who are not priests, and you must not make other oil to be like it by mixing the same amount of those things. This oil is sacred, and you must consider it to be sacred.’
Bokopakola yango te na banzoto ya bato mpe bomekola te ndenge basalela yango, pamba te ezali bule mpe bosengeli komona yango bule.
33 I will consider that anyone who makes ointment like this [for any other purpose], and anyone who puts any of this ointment on someone who is not a priest, no longer be allowed to associate with my people.”
Moto nyonso oyo akomekola mafuta yango mpe akosopa yango na nzoto ya moto oyo abulisami te, basengeli kolongola ye kati na bato na ye. »
34 Yahweh also said to Moses/me, “[Tell the people to] take equal parts of several sweet spices—stacte, onycha, galbanum, and pure frankincense—
Yawe alobaki na Moyize: — Zwa biloko ya mike-mike ya solo kitoko: sitakite, onikisi, galibanumi mpe ansa oyo basangisa na eloko mosusu te; biloko nyonso ezala kilo moko.
35 and tell an expert perfumer to mix them together to make some perfume. Add some salt to keep it pure and make it holy.
Okosala na yango ansa ya solo kitoko oyo esalemi na moto oyo asalaka malasi. Ekozala malasi oyo ezali na mungwa, ya peto mpe ya bule.
36 Beat some of it into a fine powder. Then take some of it into the Sacred Tent and sprinkle it in front of the sacred chest. You must all consider this incense to be very holy.
Okosala na ndambo na yango mosusu putulu oyo okotia liboso ya Sanduku ya Litatoli kati na Ndako ya kapo ya Bokutani epai wapi nakokutana na yo. Ekozala bule koleka mpo na bino.
37 The people must not mix the same spices to make incense for themselves. This incense must be completely dedicated to me, Yahweh.
Bokomisalela te ansa mosusu ya lolenge wana. Okomona yango bule mpe ekozala kaka mpo na Yawe.
38 I will consider that anyone who makes incense like this to use it for perfume will no longer be allowed to associate with my people.”
Moto nyonso oyo akomekola yango mpo na kosepela na solo na yango ya kitoko, basengeli kolongola ye kati na bato na ye.
