Levitike 12
1 Yawe ayebisaki Moyize:
Yahweh 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.
“Speak to the people of Israel, saying, 'If a woman conceives and gives birth to a male child, then she will be unclean for seven days, just as she is unclean during the days of her monthly period.
3 Bongo na mokolo ya mwambe, basengeli kokata mwana ngenga.
On the eighth day the flesh of a baby boy's foreskin must 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.
Then the mother's purification from her bleeding will continue for thirty-three days. She must not touch any holy thing or come into the tabernacle area until the days of her purification are finished.
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 she is during her period. Then the mother's purification will continue 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.
When the days of her purification are finished, for a son or for a daughter, she must bring a one year old lamb as a burnt offering, and a young pigeon or dove as a sin offering, to the entrance of the tent of meeting, to the priest.
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.
Then he will offer it before Yahweh and make atonement for her, and she will be cleansed from the flow of her blood. This is the law regarding a woman who gives birth to either a male or a female child.
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 is not able to afford a lamb, then she must take two doves or two young pigeons, one as a burnt offering and the other as a sin offering, and the priest will make atonement for her; then she will be clean.'”
