Levitike 11
1 Yawe alobaki na Moyize mpe Aron:
And Jehovah spake unto Moses and to Aaron, saying unto them,
2 « Loba na bana ya Isalaele: ‹ Kati na banyama nyonso oyo ezali kati na mokili, tala banyama oyo bokoki kolia:
Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, These are the living things which ye may eat among all the beasts that are on the earth.
3 banyama oyo ezali na litindi epasuka na kati-kati mpe ezongisaka na monoko biloko oyo ewuti na libumu.
Whatsoever parteth the hoof, and is clovenfooted, [and] cheweth the cud, among the beasts, that may ye eat.
4 Kasi, kati na banyama oyo ezongisaka na monoko biloko oyo ewuti na libumu, mpe kati na banyama oyo litindi na yango epasuka na kati-kati, tala banyama oyo bosengeli te kolia: shamo, pamba te ezongisaka na monoko biloko oyo ewuti na libumu, kasi litindi na yango epasuka te na kati-kati: ezali mbindo mpo na bino;
Nevertheless these shall ye not eat of them that chew the cud, or of them that part the hoof: the camel, because he cheweth the cud but parteth not the hoof, he is unclean unto you.
5 mpanya ya zamba, pamba te ezongisaka te na monoko biloko oyo ewuti na libumu, kasi litindi na yango epasuka te na kati-kati: ezali mbindo mpo na bino;
And the coney, because he cheweth the cud but parteth not the hoof, he is unclean unto you.
6 mpanya ya matoyi milayi, pamba te ezongisaka na monoko biloko oyo ewuti na libumu, kasi litindi na yango epasuka te na kati-kati: ezali mbindo mpo na bino;
And the hare, because she cheweth the cud but parteth not the hoof, she is unclean unto you.
7 ngulu, pamba te ezali na litindi epasuka na kati-kati kasi ezongisaka te na monoko biloko oyo ewuti na libumu: ezali mbindo mpo na bino.
And the swine, because he parteth the hoof, and is clovenfooted, but cheweth not the cud, he is unclean unto you.
8 Bosengeli te kolia misuni ya banyama yango to kosimba bibembe na yango, pamba te ezali mbindo mpo na bino.
Of their flesh ye shall not eat, and their carcasses ye shall not touch; they are unclean unto you.
9 Kati na bikelamu nyonso oyo evandaka na mayi lokola bibale minene mpe miluka, bokoki kolia nyonso oyo ezali na binyanyeli mpe biteku.
These may ye eat of all that are in the waters: whatsoever hath fins and scales in the waters, in the seas, and in the rivers, that may ye eat.
10 Kasi bokolia te nyonso oyo ezangi binyanyeli mpe biteku: ezali mbindo mpo na bino.
And all that have not fins and scales in the seas, and in the rivers, of all that move in the waters, and of all the living creatures that are in the waters, they are an abomination unto you,
11 Bosengeli te kolia misuni ya banyama yango to kosimba bibembe na yango, pamba te ezali mbindo mpo na bino.
and they shall be an abomination unto you; ye shall not eat of their flesh, and their carcasses ye shall have in abomination.
12 Bikelamu nyonso oyo evandaka na mayi kasi ezangi binyanyeli mpe biteku, ezali mbindo mpo na bino.
Whatsoever hath no fins nor scales in the waters, that is an abomination unto you.
13 Kati na bandeke, tala oyo ezali mbindo mpo na bino, oyo bosengeli te kolia: mpongo, engondo, mpongo ya ebale monene,
And these ye shall have in abomination among the birds; they shall not be eaten, they are an abomination: the eagle, and the gier-eagle, and the ospray,
14 nzengo mpe bandeke ya lolenge nyonso oyo eliaka misuni,
and the kite, and the falcon after its kind,
15 bayanganga ya lolenge nyonso;
every raven after its kind,
16 maligbanga, kumu, ndeke ya ebale monene mpe bakombekombe ya lolenge nyonso,
and the ostrich, and the night-hawk, and the sea-mew, and the hawk after its kind,
17 esulungutu, libata ya mayi, esulungutu ya monene,
and the little owl, and the cormorant, and the great owl,
18 esulungutu ya pembe, libeke, ndeke oyo eliaka misuni ya kopola,
and the horned owl, and the pelican, and the vulture,
19 nkoko, mokwela ya lolenge nyonso, kengele mpe lolema.
and the stork, the heron after its kind, and the hoopoe, and the bat.
20 Bokolia te banyama nyonso ya mike-mike oyo ezali na mapapu mpe etambolaka na makolo minei; ezali mbindo mpo na bino.
All winged creeping things that go upon all fours are an abomination unto you.
21 Nzokande, kati na banyama nyonso ya mike-mike oyo ezali na mapapu, bokoki kolia oyo ezali lisusu na makolo oyo esungaka yango mpo na kopumbwa wuta na mabele:
Yet these may ye eat of all winged creeping things that go upon all fours, which have legs above their feet, wherewith to leap upon the earth;
22 lolenge nyonso ya mabanki, mankoko, makelele mpe mayoyo.
even these of them ye may eat: the locust after its kind, and the bald locust after its kind, and the cricket after its kind, and the grasshopper after its kind.
23 Kasi banyama mike nyonso oyo ezali na mapapu mpe na makolo minei ezali mbindo mpo na bino.
But all winged creeping things, which have four feet, are an abomination unto you.
24 Soki te, ekokomisa bino mbindo; mpe moto nyonso oyo akosimba bibembe na yango akozala mbindo kino na pokwa.
And by these ye shall become unclean: whosoever toucheth the carcass of them shall be unclean until the even;
25 Moto nyonso oyo akosimba bibembe na yango akosukola bilamba na ye mpe akozala mbindo kino na pokwa.
and whosoever beareth [aught] of the carcass of them shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even.
26 Tala banyama mosusu oyo bokomona lokola mbindo: nyama oyo ezali na litindi epasuka te mpe ezongisaka te na monoko biloko oyo ewuti na libumu. Moto nyonso oyo akosimba yango akozala mbindo.
Every beast which parteth the hoof, and is not clovenfooted, nor cheweth the cud, is unclean unto you: every one that toucheth them shall be unclean.
27 Nyama nyonso oyo ezali na makolo minei mpe etambolaka na matambe na yango ezali mbindo. Moto nyonso oyo akosimba bibembe na yango akozala mbindo kino na pokwa.
And whatsoever goeth upon its paws, among all beasts that go on all fours, they are unclean unto you: whoso toucheth their carcass shall be unclean until the even.
28 Mpe moto nyonso oyo akolokota bibembe na yango akosukola bilamba na ye mpe akozala mbindo kino na pokwa. Bokomona yango mbindo.
And he that beareth the carcass of them shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even: they are unclean unto you.
29 Kati na banyama mike oyo etambolaka na mabele, tala oyo bosengeli komona lokola mbindo: mpuku ya se ya mabele, mpuku mpe lolenge nyonso ya miselekete,
And these are they which are unclean unto you among the creeping things that creep upon the earth: the weasel, and the mouse, and the great lizard after its kind,
30 moselekete ya ndako, moselekete ya zelo, moselekete ya zamba, moselekete ya langi ya pondu, mongungu.
and the gecko, and the land-crocodile, and the lizard, and the sand-lizard, and the chameleon.
31 Kati na bibwele nyonso oyo etambolaka na libumu, bokomona oyo wana lokola mbindo. Moto nyonso oyo akosimba yango wana esili kokufa akozala mbindo kino na pokwa.
These are they which are unclean to you among all that creep: whosoever doth touch them, when they are dead, shall be unclean until the even.
32 Eloko nyonso oyo nyama yango ekokweyela, wana esili kokufa, ekozala mbindo, ezala esalelo ya libaya, elamba, poso to sakosi; botia yango na mayi mpe ekozala mbindo kino na pokwa; sima na yango nde ekozonga lisusu peto.
And upon whatsoever any of them, when they are dead, doth fall, it shall be unclean; whether it be any vessel of wood, or raiment, or skin, or sack, whatsoever vessel it be, wherewith any work is done, it must be put into water, and it shall be unclean until the even; then shall it be clean.
33 Soki moko kati na banyama yango ekweyi na mbeki basala na mabele, biloko nyonso oyo ezali kati na mbeki yango ekokoma mbindo mpe bokopanza mbeki yango.
And every earthen vessel, whereinto any of them falleth, whatsoever is in it shall be unclean, and it ye shall break.
34 Soki basopi mayi ya mbeki yango na eloko nyonso oyo baliaka, eloko yango ekokoma mbindo; ezali mpe bongo mpo na eloko nyonso oyo bamelaka: soki basopeli yango mayi ya mbeki wana, ekokoma mbindo ata soki ezali kati na mbeki ya lolenge nini.
All food [therein] which may be eaten, that on which water cometh, shall be unclean; and all drink that may be drunk in every [such] vessel shall be unclean.
35 Eloko nyonso oyo ebembe ya moko kati na banyama wana ekokweya likolo na yango ekokoma mbindo. Soki ezali fulu ya moto to mbabola, esengeli kopanza yango; pamba te ekozala mbindo mpe bokomona yango bongo.
And every thing whereupon [any part] of their carcass falleth shall be unclean; whether oven, or range for pots, it shall be broken in pieces: they are unclean, and shall be unclean unto you.
36 Nzokande soki nyama yango ya mbindo ekweyi kati na etima to kati na libulu ya mayi, mayi ekotikala peto kasi moto oyo akosimba ebembe na yango akozala mbindo.
Nevertheless a fountain or a pit wherein is a gathering of water shall be clean: but that which toucheth their carcass shall be unclean.
37 Soki eteni moko ya ebembe na yango ekweyi likolo ya nkona oyo basengeli kolona, nkona ekotikala peto;
And if [aught] of their carcass fall upon any sowing seed which is to be sown, it is clean.
38 kasi soki basilaki kosopela nkona yango mayi, bongo eteni ya ebembe ya nyama ya mbindo ekweyi lisusu likolo na yango, bokomona nkona yango mbindo.
But if water be put upon the seed, and [aught] of their carcass fall thereon, it is unclean unto you.
39 Soki nyama oyo bozali na ndingisa ya kolia ekufi, moto nyonso oyo akosimba ebembe na yango akozala mbindo kino na pokwa;
And if any beast, of which ye may eat, die; he that toucheth the carcass thereof shall be unclean until the even.
40 mpe moto oyo akolia mosuni ya nyama oyo esili kokufa asengeli kosukola bilamba na ye, mpe akozala mbindo kino na pokwa. Moto oyo mpe akomema ebembe na yango akosukola bilamba na ye mpe akozala mbindo kino na pokwa.
And he that eateth of the carcass of it shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even: he also that beareth the carcass of it shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even.
41 Bosengeli komona lokola mbindo banyama nyonso oyo etambolaka na libumu, mpe epekisami kolia yango.
And every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth is an abomination; it shall not be eaten.
42 Bokolia ata nyama moko te oyo etambolaka na libumu; ata oyo etambolaka na makolo minei to koleka, pamba te ezali mbindo.
Whatsoever goeth upon the belly, and whatsoever goeth upon all fours, or whatsoever hath many feet, even all creeping things that creep upon the earth, them ye shall not eat; for they are an abomination.
43 Bino moko mpe bomikomisa mbindo te na nzela ya moko kati na bikelamu wana oyo etambolaka na libumu. Bomikomisa mbindo te na nzela na yango to tika ete yango mpe ekomisa bino mbindo te.
Ye shall not make yourselves abominable with any creeping thing that creepeth, neither shall ye make yourselves unclean with them, that ye should be defiled thereby.
44 Pamba te, nazali Yawe, Nzambe na bino. Botambola lokola bato ya bule mpe bozala bule, pamba te Ngai nazali Bule. Bomikomisa mbindo te na nzela ya banyama nyonso oyo etambolaka na libumu.
For I am Jehovah your God: sanctify yourselves therefore, and be ye holy; for I am holy: neither shall ye defile yourselves with any manner of creeping thing that moveth upon the earth.
45 Nazali Yawe oyo abimisaki bino na Ejipito mpo ete nazala Nzambe na bino. Boye bozala bule, pamba te Ngai nazali Bule.
For I am Jehovah that brought you up out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: ye shall therefore be holy, for I am holy.
46 Yango wana nde ezali mobeko oyo etali banyama, bandeke, bikelamu nyonso ya bomoi oyo etambolaka kati na mayi to na libumu.
This is the law of the beast, and of the bird, and of every living creature that moveth in the waters, and of every creature that creepeth upon the earth;
47 Bosengeli kosala bokeseni kati na oyo ezali mbindo mpe oyo ezali peto, kati na bikelamu ya bomoi oyo bakoki kolia mpe oyo bakoki kolia te. › »
to make a distinction between the unclean and the clean, and between the living thing that may be eaten and the living thing that may not be eaten.
