< Levitike 12 >
Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
2 « Loba na bana ya Isalaele: ‹ Soki mwasi aboti mwana mobali, akozala mbindo mikolo sambo lokola tango amonaka makila na ye ya sanza.
"Speak to the children of Israel, saying, 'If a woman conceives, and bears a male child, then she shall be unclean seven days; as in the days of her monthly period she shall be unclean.
3 Bongo na mokolo ya mwambe, basengeli kokata mwana ngenga.
In the eighth day the flesh of his foreskin shall be circumcised.
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.
She shall continue in the blood of purification thirty-three days. She shall not touch any holy thing, nor come into the sanctuary, until the days of her purifying are completed.
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 bears a female child, then she shall be unclean two weeks, as in her period; and she shall continue in the blood of purification 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.
"'When the days of her purification are completed, for a son, or for a daughter, she shall bring to the priest at the door of the Tent of Meeting, a year old lamb for a burnt offering, and a young pigeon, or a turtledove, 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 he shall offer it before Jehovah, and make atonement for her; and she shall be cleansed from the fountain of her blood. "'This is the law for her who bears, whether 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. › »
If she cannot afford a lamb, then she shall take two turtledoves, or two young pigeons; the one for a burnt offering, and the other for a sin offering: and the priest shall make atonement for her, and she shall be clean.'"
