Levitike 11
1 Yawe alobaki na Moyize mpe Aron:
Adonai spoke to Moses [Drawn out] and to Aaron [Light-bringer], saying to them,
2 « Loba na bana ya Isalaele: ‹ Kati na banyama nyonso oyo ezali kati na mokili, tala banyama oyo bokoki kolia:
“Speak to the children of Israel [God prevails], saying, ‘These are the living things which you may eat among all the animals that are on the earth.
3 banyama oyo ezali na litindi epasuka na kati-kati mpe ezongisaka na monoko biloko oyo ewuti na libumu.
Whatever parts the hoof, and is cloven-footed, and chews the cud among the animals, that you may 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 you shall not eat of those that chew the cud, or of those who part the hoof: the camel, because he chews the cud but does not have a parted hoof, he is unclean to 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;
The cony, because he chews the cud but does not have a parted hoof, he is unclean to 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;
The hare, because she chews the cud but does not part the hoof, she is unclean to 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.
The pig, because he has a split hoof, and is cloven-footed, but does not chew the cud, he is unclean to you.
8 Bosengeli te kolia misuni ya banyama yango to kosimba bibembe na yango, pamba te ezali mbindo mpo na bino.
Of their meat you shall not eat, and their carcasses you shall not touch; they are unclean to 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 you may eat of all that are in the waters: whatever has fins and scales in the waters, in the seas, and in the rivers, that you may eat.
10 Kasi bokolia te nyonso oyo ezangi binyanyeli mpe biteku: ezali mbindo mpo na bino.
All that don’t have 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 detestable to you,
11 Bosengeli te kolia misuni ya banyama yango to kosimba bibembe na yango, pamba te ezali mbindo mpo na bino.
and you detest them. You shall not eat of their meat, and you shall detest their carcasses.
12 Bikelamu nyonso oyo evandaka na mayi kasi ezangi binyanyeli mpe biteku, ezali mbindo mpo na bino.
Whatever has no fins nor scales in the waters, that is detestable to you.
13 Kati na bandeke, tala oyo ezali mbindo mpo na bino, oyo bosengeli te kolia: mpongo, engondo, mpongo ya ebale monene,
“‘These you shall detest among the birds; they shall not be eaten, they are detestable: the eagle, and the vulture, and the black vulture,
14 nzengo mpe bandeke ya lolenge nyonso oyo eliaka misuni,
and the red kite, any kind of black kite,
15 bayanganga ya lolenge nyonso;
any kind of raven,
16 maligbanga, kumu, ndeke ya ebale monene mpe bakombekombe ya lolenge nyonso,
the horned owl, the screech owl, and the gull, any kind of hawk,
17 esulungutu, libata ya mayi, esulungutu ya monene,
the little owl, the cormorant, the great owl,
18 esulungutu ya pembe, libeke, ndeke oyo eliaka misuni ya kopola,
the white owl, the desert owl, the osprey,
19 nkoko, mokwela ya lolenge nyonso, kengele mpe lolema.
the stork, any kind of heron, 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 flying insects that walk on all fours are detestable to 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 you may eat these: of all winged creeping things that go on all fours, which have legs above their feet, with which to hop on the earth.
22 lolenge nyonso ya mabanki, mankoko, makelele mpe mayoyo.
Even of these you may eat: any kind of locust, any kind of katydid, any kind of cricket, and any kind of grasshopper.
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 detestable to you.
24 Soki te, ekokomisa bino mbindo; mpe moto nyonso oyo akosimba bibembe na yango akozala mbindo kino na pokwa.
“‘By these you will become unclean: whoever touches their carcass shall be unclean until the evening.
25 Moto nyonso oyo akosimba bibembe na yango akosukola bilamba na ye mpe akozala mbindo kino na pokwa.
Whoever carries any part 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 animal which parts the hoof, and is not cloven-footed, nor chews the cud, is unclean to you. Everyone who touches 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.
Whatever goes on its paws, among all animals that go on all fours, they are unclean to you. Whoever touches 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.
He who carries their carcass shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the evening. They are unclean to 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,
“‘These are they which are unclean to you among the creeping things that creep on the earth: the weasel, the rat, any kind of great lizard,
30 moselekete ya ndako, moselekete ya zelo, moselekete ya zamba, moselekete ya langi ya pondu, mongungu.
the gecko, and the monitor lizard, the wall lizard, the skink, 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. Whoever touches 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.
On whatever any of them falls when they are dead, it shall be unclean; whether it is any vessel of wood, or clothing, or skin, or sack, whatever vessel it is, with which any work is done, it must be put into water, and it shall be unclean until the evening; then it will 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.
Every earthen vessel, into which any of them falls, all that is in it shall be unclean, and you shall break it.
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 which may be eaten, that on which water comes, 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.
Everything where part of their carcass falls shall be unclean; whether oven, or range for pots, it shall be broken in pieces: they are unclean, and shall be unclean to 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 spring or a cistern in which water is gathered shall be clean: but that which touches their carcass shall be unclean.
37 Soki eteni moko ya ebembe na yango ekweyi likolo ya nkona oyo basengeli kolona, nkona ekotikala peto;
If part of their carcass falls on 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 is put on the seed, and part of their carcass falls on it, it is unclean to you.
39 Soki nyama oyo bozali na ndingisa ya kolia ekufi, moto nyonso oyo akosimba ebembe na yango akozala mbindo kino na pokwa;
“‘If any animal, of which you may eat, dies; he who touches 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.
He who eats of its carcass shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the evening. He also who carries 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.
“‘Every creeping thing that creeps on the earth is detestable. 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.
Whatever goes on its belly, and whatever goes on all fours, or whatever has many feet, even all creeping things that creep on the earth, them you shall not eat; for they are detestable.
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.
You shall not make yourselves detestable with any creeping thing that creeps. You shall not make yourselves unclean with them, that you 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 Adonai your God. Sanctify yourselves therefore, and be holy; for I am holy. You shall not defile yourselves with any kind of creeping thing that moves on 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 Adonai who brought you up out of the land of Egypt [Abode of slavery], to be your God. You 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 Torah ·Teaching· of the animal, and of the bird, and of every living creature that moves in the waters, and of every creature that creeps on 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.’”
