Levitike 10
1 Bana mibali ya Aron, Nadabi mpe Abiyu, bazwaki moko na moko mbabola na ye; batiaki yango makala ya moto mpe batiaki ansa na likolo ya makala yango. Lokola bakokisaki te kolanda oyo basengelaki kosala, bamemaki moto ya mopaya liboso ya Yawe.
[Two of] Aaron’s sons, Nadab and Abihu, took the pans in which they burned incense. They put some burning coals in them and put incense on top of the coals, but this fire was not acceptable [to Yahweh] because it was not the kind that he had commanded them to burn.
2 Boye moto ebimaki longwa liboso ya Yawe mpe etumbaki bango nyonso; bakufaki na mbala moko.
So suddenly a fire from Yahweh appeared and burned them up [DOU] in the presence of Yahweh.
3 Moyize alobaki na Aron: « Tomoni kokokisama ya maloba oyo Yawe asakolaki tango alobaki: ‹ Bato nyonso oyo bakobelema liboso na Ngai basengeli kotosa bosantu na Ngai, mpe Ngai nakomonisa nkembo na Ngai na miso ya bato nyonso. › » Aron alobaki ata liloba moko te.
Then Moses/I said to Aaron, “That is what Yahweh predicted. He said, ‘Those priests who come near to me, I will show them that they must (respect me/treat me as being holy); in the presence of all the people I am the one who must be honored.’” But Aaron said nothing.
4 Moyize abengisaki Mishaeli mpe Elitsafani, bana mibali ya Uzieli, noko ya Aron. Alobaki na bango: « Boya kolongola bibembe ya bandeko na bino liboso ya Esika ya bule mpe bomema yango na libanda ya molako. »
Then Moses/I summoned Mishael and Elzaphan, who were the sons of Aaron’s uncle Uzziel, and said to them, “Take [the corpses of] your cousins outside the camp, away from the front of the Sacred Tent.”
5 Basalaki ndenge kaka Moyize alobaki na bango: bapusanaki mpe bamemaki bibembe elongo na banzambala na bango na libanda ya molako.
So they carried the corpses, which still had their special gowns on, outside the camp, [and buried them].
6 Sima na yango, Moyize alobaki na Aron, Eleazari mpe Itamari, bana mibali ya Aron: « Bopanza te suki ya mito na bino, bopasola te bilamba na bino lokola nde bozali na matanga, noki te bokokufa mpe bokobenda kanda ya Yawe likolo ya lisanga mobimba. Ezali bandeko na bino nyonso ya Isalaele nde bakolela bato oyo Yawe atumbi na moto.
Then Moses/I said to Aaron and his [other two] sons Eleazar and Ithamar, “[You are sad because Nadab and Abihu died, but you must act like you always do]. Do not allow the hair on your [heads] to remain uncombed, and do not tear your clothes. But your relatives and all your fellow Israelis are allowed to mourn for those whom Yahweh destroyed by fire.
7 Kasi bino, bosengeli te kolongwa liboso ya Ndako ya kapo ya Bokutani, noki te bokokufa; pamba te bapakola bino mafuta mpo na kosala mosala ya Yawe. » Aron mpe bana na ye batosaki makambo oyo Moyize alobaki na bango.
But you must not leave the entrance of the Sacred Tent [to join those who are mourning], because if you do that, you also will die, and Yahweh will punish [MTY] all the people of Israel. Do not forget that Yahweh has set you apart [MTY] to work for him here, [and he does not want you to become defiled by touching a corpse].” So they did what Moses/I told them to do.
8 Yawe alobaki na Aron:
Then Yahweh said to Aaron,
9 « Tango bokobanda kokota na Ndako ya kapo ya Bokutani, yo mpe bana na yo ya mibali, bosengeli te komela masanga oyo elangwisaka, noki te bokokufa. Yango ezali mobeko ya libela na libela mpo na bino mpe milongo nyonso oyo ekoya sima na bino,
“You and your [two] sons [who are still alive] must not drink wine or other fermented drinks before you enter the Sacred Tent; if you do that, you will die. That is a command that you and your descendants must obey forever.
10 mpo ete boyeba kokesenisa eloko ya bule mpe eloko oyo ezangi bule, eloko ya peto mpe eloko ya mbindo;
You must do that in order to learn what things are holy and what things are (not holy/common), and [from the things that are not holy] you must learn what things are acceptable to me and what things are not.
11 lisusu mpo ete boyeba koteya bana ya Isalaele mibeko nyonso oyo Yawe apesaki bino na nzela ya Moyize. »
And you must teach to the Israeli people all the laws that I gave to the Israeli people by telling them to Moses.”
12 Moyize alobaki na Aron, Eleazari mpe Itamari, bana mibali ya Aron: « Kati na makabo bazikisa na moto mpo na Yawe, bokobanda kozwa likabo oyo ekotikala, oyo ekozika te na moto, mpe bokobanda kolia yango pembeni ya etumbelo; bokotia yango ezanga levire, pamba te ezali eteni ya bule koleka.
Moses/I said to Aaron and his two sons who were still alive, Eleazar and Ithamar, “Take the offering made from grain that is left after a portion of it has been offered to Yahweh to be burned, and eat it alongside the altar. [It should not be eaten elsewhere], because it is very holy.
13 Bokolia yango na Esika ya bule, pamba te yango nde epesameli yo mpe bana mibali na yo kati na makabo bazikisa na moto mpo na Yawe, ndenge kaka atindaki ngai.
Eat it in a holy place; it is the share for you and your sons from the offerings that were burned; I have commanded that it be your share.
14 Kati na bambeka ya boyokani oyo bana ya Isalaele bakobanda kobonza, yo mpe bana na yo, bokobanda kolia, na Esika ya bule, lokola eteni oyo epesameli bino, tolo oyo ekobonzama lokola likabo ya kotombola mpe mopende ya banyama oyo ekobonzama epai ya Yawe.
But you and your sons and daughters are permitted to eat the breast and the thigh that were lifted up in front of Yahweh. Eat them in any place that is (holy/acceptable to him). They have been given to you and your descendants as your share of the offerings to enable the Israelis to maintain fellowship [with Yahweh].
15 Bana ya Isalaele bakobonza elongo na biteni ya mafuta bazikisa na moto: tolo mpe mopende ya banyama oyo batombolaka liboso ya Yawe. Ekokoma ya yo mpe ya bana mibali na yo mpo na libela, ndenge kaka Yawe atindaki ngai. »
The thigh and the breast that were lifted up in front of Yahweh must be brought with the portions of fat to be burned, to be lifted up in his presence. They will be the regular share for you and your descendants, as Yahweh has commanded.”
16 Bongo, tango Moyize atunaki ntaba ya mobali oyo ebonzamaki lokola mbeka mpo na masumu, ayokaki ete basilaki kotumba yango na moto. Boye asilikelaki Eleazari mpe Itamari, bana mibali ya Aron, mpe atunaki bango:
When Moses/I inquired about the goat that had been sacrificed to enable the people to be forgiven by Yahweh for the sins they had committed, he/I found out that it had been completely burned. So he/I was angry with Eleazar and Ithamar and asked them,
17 — Mpo na nini boliaki te mosuni ya mbeka mpo na masumu na Esika ya bule, pamba te ezali eteni ya bule? Yawe apesaki bino yango mpo ete bokangola lisanga ya Isalaele na masumu na bango mpe bosala liboso ya Yawe mosala ya bolimbisi masumu na bango.
“Why did you not eat near the Sacred Tent the meat of the offering for sin? It was very holy, and it was given to you to enable the Israeli people to no longer be guilty for their sins and to be forgiven for their sins.
18 Lokola makila ya mbeka yango ekotaki te kati na Esika ya bule, bosengelaki kolia mosuni na yango na Esika ya bule kolanda ndenge nalobaki na tina na yango.
Since its blood was not taken into the holy place inside the Sacred Tent, you should have eaten the [meat of] the goat near the Sacred Tent, as I commanded.”
19 Aron azongiselaki Moyize: — Na mokolo oyo bana na ngai babonzelaki Yawe mbeka na bango mpo na masumu mpe mbeka na bango ya kotumba, oyebi malamu makambo oyo ekweyelaki ngai. Soki, na mokolo lokola oyo wana, ngai naliaki mosuni ya mbeka mpo na masumu, Yawe akokaki na Ye kondima ete ngai nasala likambo ya bongo?
Aaron replied to Moses/me, “Today the people brought to Yahweh their offering to be forgiven for the sins they had committed, and the offering to be completely burned, [and surely that pleased Yahweh], but [think about the terrible thing] that happened to my other two sons! Would [RHQ] Yahweh have been pleased if I had eaten some of the offering to cause the people to become acceptable to God?”
20 Moyize ayokaki eyano oyo mpe amonaki ete ezali malamu.
When Moses/I heard that, he/I was satisfied.
