Levitike 11

1 Yawe alobaki na Moyize mpe Aron:

And the Lord spoke 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 beasts 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 divideth the hoof, and is cloven-footed, 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;

But these shall ye not eat, of those that chew the cud, or of those that divide the hoof: the camel; because he cheweth the cud, but divideth 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 cony; because he cheweth the cud, but divideth 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 he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he 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 divideth the hoof, and is cloven-footed, but he 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 shall ye not eat, and their carcass shall ye 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: all that have fins and scales in the waters, in the seas, and in the rivers, them may ye eat.

10 Kasi bokolia te nyonso oyo ezangi binyanyeli mpe biteku: ezali mbindo mpo na bino.

But all that have not fins and scales in the seas, and in the rivers, of whatever moveth in the waters, and of any living thing which is in the waters, shall be 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 an abomination shall they remain unto you; of their flesh shall ye not eat, 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 not fins and scales in the waters, shall be 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 shall ye have in abomination among the fowls; they shall not be eaten, they are an abomination: The eagle, and the ossifrage, and the osprey,

14 nzengo mpe bandeke ya lolenge nyonso oyo eliaka misuni,

And the vulture, and the kite after his kind;

15 bayanganga ya lolenge nyonso;

Every raven after his kind:

16 maligbanga, kumu, ndeke ya ebale monene mpe bakombekombe ya lolenge nyonso,

And the ostrich, and the night-hawk, and the cuckoo, and the hawk after his 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 swan, and the pelican, and the gier-eagle,

19 nkoko, mokwela ya lolenge nyonso, kengele mpe lolema.

And the stork, the heron after his kind, and the lapwing, 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 flying insects that walk upon four feet, shall be 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, among all the flying insects that walk on four feet, which have spring-legs above their feet, to leap therewith upon the earth.

22 lolenge nyonso ya mabanki, mankoko, makelele mpe mayoyo.

These of them may ye eat: The locust after its kind, and the sol'am after its kind, and the chargol after its kind, and the chagab after its kind.

23 Kasi banyama mike nyonso oyo ezali na mapapu mpe na makolo minei ezali mbindo mpo na bino.

But all flying insects, which have four feet, shall be an abomination unto you;

24 Soki te, ekokomisa bino mbindo; mpe moto nyonso oyo akosimba bibembe na yango akozala mbindo kino na pokwa.

And through these shall ye be rendered unclean: whosoever toucheth the carcass of them shall be unclean until the evening;

25 Moto nyonso oyo akosimba bibembe na yango akosukola bilamba na ye mpe akozala mbindo kino na pokwa.

And whosoever beareth aught of their carcass shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the evening.

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 species of beast, which divideth the hoof and is not cloven-footed nor cheweth the cud, is unclean unto you: every one that toucheth the same 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 all that walk upon their paws, among all manner of beasts that walk on four feet, are unclean unto you; whosoever toucheth their carcass shall be unclean until the evening.

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 their carcass shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the evening: unclean shall they be 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 shall be unclean unto you among the creeping things that creep upon the earth: The weasel, and the mouse, and the tortoise after its kind,

30 moselekete ya ndako, moselekete ya zelo, moselekete ya zamba, moselekete ya langi ya pondu, mongungu.

And the hedgehog, and the chameleon, and the lizard, and the snail, and the mole.

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 shall be unclean to you among all that creep: whosoever doth touch them, when they are dead, shall be unclean until the evening.

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 every thing upon which any part of them, when they are dead, doth fall, shall be unclean; whether it be any vessel of wood, or raiment, or skin, or sack, every vessel wherewith any work can be done, must be put into water, and it shall be unclean until the evening, when it shall 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 part of them falleth, whatsoever is in it shall be unclean; and itself shall ye 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 kinds of food which may be eaten, on which water cometh, shall be unclean: and all drink that may be drunk, shall be rendered unclean in every vessel.

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; an oven, or ranges for pots, shall be broken down, they are unclean; and unclean shall they be 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 pit, receptacles for water, shall be clean; but he that 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 any part of their carcass fall upon any sowing-seed which hath been sown, it shall be 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 any water be put upon the seed, and any part of their carcass fall thereon, it shall be 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 cattle die, which is allowed to you as food: he that toucheth its carcass shall be unclean until the evening.

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 its carcass shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the evening; he also that beareth its carcass shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the evening.

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 four feet, down to whatsoever hath many feet among all creeping things that creep upon the earth, shall ye 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; and ye shall not 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 the Lord your God; ye shall therefore sanctify yourselves, and ye shall be holy; for I am holy: neither shall ye make yourselves unclean with any manner of creeping thing that creepeth 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 the Lord that have 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 beasts, and of the fowl, 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 distinguish between the unclean and the clean, and between the beast that may be eaten and the beast that may not be eaten.
