< Levitike 12 >

1 Yawe ayebisaki Moyize:
And the Lord said to Moses,
2 « Loba na bana ya Isalaele: ‹ Soki mwasi aboti mwana mobali, akozala mbindo mikolo sambo lokola tango amonaka makila na ye ya sanza.
Say to the children of Israel, If a woman is with child and gives birth to a male child, she will be unclean for seven days, as when she is unwell.
3 Bongo na mokolo ya mwambe, basengeli kokata mwana ngenga.
And on the eighth day let him be given circumcision.
4 Sima, akolekisa lisusu mikolo tuku misato na misato mpo ete apetolama na makila na ye oyo ebimaki tango abotaki. Akosimba eloko moko te ya bule mpe akokende te na Esika ya bule kino mikolo ya kopetolama na ye ekokoka.
And she will be unclean for thirty-three days till the flow of her blood is stopped; no holy thing may be touched by her, and she may not come into the holy place, till the days for making her clean are ended.
5 Soki mwasi aboti mwana mwasi, akozala mbindo baposo mibale lokola tango amonaka makila na ye ya sanza. Bongo akolekisa mikolo tuku motoba na motoba mpo ete apetolama na makila na ye oyo ebimaki tango abotaki.
But if she gives birth to a female child, then she will be unclean for two weeks, as when she is unwell; and she will not be completely clean for sixty-six days.
6 Soki mikolo ya kopetolama na ye ekoki, ezala abotaki mwana mobali to mwana mwasi, akomema epai ya Nganga-Nzambe, na ekotelo ya Ndako ya kapo ya Bokutani, mwana meme ya mobu moko lokola mbeka ya kotumba mpe ebenga moko ya mboka to ebenga moko ya zamba lokola mbeka mpo na masumu.
And when the days are ended for making her clean for a son or a daughter, let her take to the priest at the door of the Tent of meeting, a lamb of the first year for a burned offering and a young pigeon or a dove for a sin-offering:
7 Nganga-Nzambe akobonza bambeka yango liboso ya Yawe mpe sima, akosala mosala ya bolimbisi masumu ya mwasi. Soki kaka asilisi kosala yango nde mwasi akokoma peto. Wana nde mobeko mpo na mwasi oyo aboti mwana mobali to mwana mwasi.
And the priest is to make an offering of it before the Lord and take away her sin, and she will be made clean from the flow of her blood. This is the law for a woman who gives birth to a male or a female.
8 Soki azangi makoki ya kozwa mwana meme, akoki komema bana mibale ya ebenga ya mboka to bibenga mibale ya zamba: moko mpo na mbeka ya kotumba, mpe mosusu, mpo na mbeka mpo na masumu. Sima na Nganga-Nzambe kosala mosala ya bolimbisi masumu, mwasi akokoma peto. › »
And if she has not money enough for a lamb, then let her take two doves or two young pigeons, one for a burned offering and the other for a sin-offering, and the priest will take away her sin and she will be clean,
