Levitike 16

1 Yawe alobaki na Moyize, sima na kufa ya bana mibali mibale ya Aron, oyo bakufaki tango bapusanaki liboso ya Yawe.

Yahweh spoke to Moses—this was after the death of Aaron's two sons, when they had gone near to Yahweh and then died.

2 Yawe alobaki na Moyize: « Loba na Aron, ndeko na yo ya mobali, ete akotaka tango nyonso te na Esika ya bule, na sima ya rido, liboso ya esika ya bolimbisi masumu, likolo ya Sanduku mpo ete akufa te; pamba te namimonisaka na nzela ya lipata likolo ya esika ya bolimbisi masumu.

Yahweh said to Moses, “Speak to Aaron your brother and tell him not to come at just any time into the most holy place inside the curtain, before the atonement lid that is on the ark. If he does, he will die, because I appear in the cloud over the atonement lid.

3 Tala ndenge Aron akobanda kokota na Esika ya bule: akomema ngombe moko ya mobali lokola mbeka ya masumu mpe meme moko ya mobali lokola mbeka ya kotumba.

So here is how Aaron must come into the most holy place. He must enter with a young bull as a sin offering, and a ram as a burnt offering.

4 Akolata na nzoto na ye: nzambala ya bule basala na lino mpe bakaputula ya lino; akomikanga mokaba ya lino mpe kitendi ya lino na moto na ye. Lokola bilamba oyo ezali ya bule, asengeli komisukola nzoto na ye na mayi liboso ya kolata yango.

He must put on the holy linen tunic, and he must put the linen undergarments on himself, and he must wear the linen sash and linen turban. These are the holy garments. He must bathe his body in water and then dress himself with these clothes.

5 Aron akozwa kati na lisanga ya bana ya Isalaele: bantaba mibale ya mibali lokola mbeka ya masumu mpe meme moko ya mobali lokola mbeka ya kotumba.

He must take from the assembly of the people of Israel two male goats as a sin offering and one ram as a burnt offering.

6 Aron akobonza mpo na ye moko, ngombe ya mobali lokola mbeka ya masumu mpe akosala mosala ya bolimbisi masumu mpo na ye moko mpe mpo na ndako na ye.

Then Aaron must present the bull as the sin offering, which will be for himself, to make atonement for himself and his family.

7 Akozwa bantaba ya mibali nyonso mibale mpe akotia yango liboso ya Yawe, na ekotelo ya Ndako ya kapo ya Bokutani.

Then he must take the two goats and set them before Yahweh at the entrance to the tent of meeting.

8 Aron akobeta zeke mpo na bantaba ya mibali nyonso mibale: moko mpo na Yawe, mpe mosusu, mpo na Azazeli.

Then Aaron must cast lots for the two goats, one lot for Yahweh, and the other lot for the scapegoat.

9 Bongo Aron akomema ntaba oyo zeke ekolakisa ete ezali mpo na Yawe, mpe akobonza yango lokola mbeka mpo na masumu.

Aaron must then present the goat on which the lot fell for Yahweh, and offer that goat as a sin offering.

10 Kasi ntaba ya mobali oyo zeke ekolakisa ete ezali mpo na Azazeli, akomema yango ya bomoi liboso ya Yawe mpo ete basala na yango mosala ya bolimbisi masumu, bongo bakotinda yango na esobe mpo na Azazeli.

But the goat on which the lot fell for the scapegoat must be brought alive before Yahweh, to make atonement by sending him away as a scapegoat into the wilderness.

11 Aron akobonza, mpo na ye moko, ngombe ya mobali lokola mbeka mpo na masumu mpe akosala mosala ya bolimbisi masumu na ye moko mpe ya ndako na ye. Sima na ye kokata kingo ya ngombe ya mobali oyo abonzi mpo na ye moko lokola mbeka ya masumu,

Then Aaron must present the bull for the sin offering, which will be for himself. He must make atonement for himself and for his family, so he must kill the bull as a sin offering for himself.

12 akotondisa mbabola ya kotumba malasi na makala ya moto oyo ewuti na etumbelo liboso ya Yawe mpe akotondisa maboko na ye mibale na malasi ya putulu, bongo akomema yango na sima ya rido.

Aaron must take a censer full of coals of fire from off the altar before Yahweh, with his hands full of finely ground sweet incense, and bring these things inside the curtain.

13 Akotia malasi na moto liboso ya Yawe mpo ete milinga na yango ezipa esika ya bolimbisi oyo ezali likolo ya Sanduku ya Boyokani mpo ete akufa te.

There he must put the incense on the fire before Yahweh so that the cloud from the incense may cover the atonement lid over the covenant decrees. He must do this so he will not die.

14 Akozwa makila ya ngombe ya mobali mpe, na nzela ya mosapi na ye, akobwaka yango liboso ya esika ya bolimbisi masumu, na ngambo ya este. Boye, na nzela ya mosapi na ye, akobwaka makila mbala sambo liboso ya esika ya bolimbisi masumu.

Then he must take some of the blood of the bull and sprinkle it with his finger on the front of the atonement lid. He must sprinkle some of the blood with his finger seven times before the atonement lid.

15 Akokata kingo ya ntaba ya mobali ya mbeka mpo na masumu ya bato mpe akomema makila na yango na sima ya rido. Bongo akosala na makila yango ndenge asalaki na makila ya ngombe ya mobali: akobwaka liboso mpe likolo ya esika ya bolimbisi masumu.

Then he must kill the goat for the sin offering that is for the people and bring its blood inside the curtain. There he must do with the blood as he did with the blood of the bull: He must sprinkle it on the atonement lid and then before the atonement lid.

16 Na nzela wana, akosala mosala ya bolimbisi masumu mpo na Esika ya bule likolo ya mbindo, botomboki mpe masumu ya bana ya Isalaele. Akosala mpe ndenge moko mpo na Ndako ya kapo ya Bokutani oyo ezali elongo na bango kati na mbindo na bango.

He must make atonement for the holy place because of the unclean actions of the people of Israel, and because of their rebellion and all their sins. He must also do this for the tent of meeting, where Yahweh lives among them, in the presence of their unclean actions.

17 Moto moko te akozala kati na Ndako ya kapo ya Bokutani tango Aron akokota kuna mpo na kosala mosala ya bolimbisi masumu kati na Esika ya bule kino tango akobima na libanda. Mpe akosala mosala ya bolimbisi masumu mpo na ye moko, mpo na ndako na ye mpe mpo na lisanga mobimba ya Isalaele.

No one must be in the tent of meeting when Aaron enters it to make atonement in the most holy place, and until he comes out and has finished making atonement for himself and for his family, and for all the assembly of Israel.

18 Sima na yango, akobima mpo na kokende na etumbelo oyo ezali liboso ya Yawe mpe akosala mosala ya bolimbisi masumu mpo na etumbelo yango. Akozwa makila ya ngombe ya mobali mpe ya ntaba ya mobali mpe akotia yango na maseke ya etumbelo.

He must go out to the altar that is before Yahweh and make atonement for it, and he must take some of the bull's blood and some of the goat's blood and put it on the horns of the altar all around.

19 Mpe na nzela ya mosapi na ye, akobwaka makila mbala sambo na etumbelo. Ezali na nzela wana nde akopetola mpe akobulisa yango na mbindo ya bana ya Isalaele.

He must sprinkle some of the blood on it with his finger seven times to cleanse it and set it apart to Yahweh, away from the unclean actions of the people of Israel.

20 Tango Aron akosilisa kosala mosala ya bolimbisi masumu mpo na Esika ya bule, mpo na Ndako ya kapo ya Bokutani mpe mpo na etumbelo, akomema ntaba ya mobali ya bomoi.

When he has finished atoning for the most holy place, the tent of meeting, and the altar, he must present the live goat.

21 Aron akotia maboko na ye mibale na moto ya ntaba yango, akotubela mabe, botomboki mpe masumu nyonso ya bana ya Isalaele na moto ya ntaba yango. Na nzela wana akotia masumu nyonso na moto ya ntaba yango; sima akopona moto moko mpo na kobengana ntaba yango na esobe.

Aaron must lay both his hands on the head of the live goat and confess over him all the wickedness of the people of Israel, all their rebellion, and all their sins. Then he must put that sinfulness on the head of the goat and send the goat away in the care of a man who is ready to lead the goat into the wilderness.

22 Boye ntaba ekomema masumu na bango nyonso na esika oyo ezanga bato, mpe moto yango akotika ntaba kokende na esobe.

The goat must carry on himself all the people's wickedness to a solitary place. There in the wilderness, the man must let the goat go free.

23 Bongo Aron akokota na Ndako ya kapo ya Bokutani, akolongola bilamba ya lino oyo alataki tango akotaki na Esika ya bule mpe akotika yango kuna.

Then Aaron must go back into the tent of meeting and take off the linen garments that he had put on before going into the most holy place, and he must leave those garments there.

24 Akosukola nzoto na ye na mayi na esika moko ya bule; mpe akolata bilamba na ye. Sima, akobima libanda mpe akobonza mbeka ya kotumba mpo na ye moko mpe mpo na bato. Na nzela wana nde akosala mosala ya bolimbisi masumu mpo na ye moko mpe mpo na bato.

He must bathe his body in water in a holy place, and put on his normal garments; then he must go out and offer his burnt offering and the burnt offering for the people, and in this way make atonement for himself and for the people.

25 Akotumba mafuta ya mbeka ya masumu na likolo ya etumbelo.

He must burn the fat of the sin offering on the altar.

26 Moto oyo akobengana ntaba ya mobali mpo na Azazeli, asengeli kosukola nzoto na ye na mayi; mpe sima na yango, akozonga na molako.

The man who let the scapegoat go free must wash his clothes and bathe his body in water; after that, he may come back into the camp.

27 Bakomema libanda ya molako ngombe ya mobali mpe ntaba ya mobali ya mbeka ya masumu oyo bamemaki makila na yango na Esika ya bule mpo na kosala mosala ya bolimbisi masumu mpe bakotumba na moto poso na yango, misuni na yango mpe banyei na yango.

The bull for the sin offering and the goat for the sin offering, whose blood was brought in to make atonement in the holy place, must be carried outside the camp. There they must burn their hides, flesh, and dung.

28 Moto oyo akotumba yango asengeli kosukola na mayi bilamba na ye mpe nzoto na ye, sima na yango nde akoki kozonga na molako.

The man who burns those parts must wash his clothes and bathe his body in water; after that, he may come back into the camp.

29 Tala malako oyo bosengeli kosalela mpo na libela: na mokolo ya zomi ya sanza ya sambo, ezala mwana mboka to mopaya oyo avandi kati na bino, bosengeli komikitisa mpe bokosala mosala ata moko te,

It will always be a statute for you that in the seventh month, on the tenth day of the month, you must humble yourselves and do no work, whether the native born or a foreigner who is living among you.

30 pamba te na mokolo wana nde bokosala mosala ya bolimbisi masumu mpo na bino mpe kopetolama bino. Boye bokopetolama na masumu na bino nyonso liboso ya Yawe.

This is because on this day atonement will be made for you, to cleanse you from all your sins so you will be clean before Yahweh.

31 Ekozala mpo na bino mokolo ya Saba, mokolo ya bopemi, mpe bosengeli komikitisa. Ezali malako ya libela.

It is a solemn Sabbath of rest for you, and you must humble yourselves and do no work. This will always be a statute among you.

32 Nganga-Nzambe oyo bakopakola mafuta mpe akobulisama mpo na kosala mosala ya bonganga-Nzambe na esika ya tata na ye, akosala mosala ya bolimbisi masumu. Akolata bilamba ya bule ya lino.

The high priest, the one who will be anointed and ordained to be high priest in his father's place, he must make this atonement and put on the linen garments, that is, the holy garments.

33 Akosala mosala ya bolimbisi masumu mpo na ndako ya bule, mpo na Ndako ya kapo ya Bokutani, mpo na etumbelo, mpo na Nganga-Nzambe mpe mpo na bato nyonso ya lisanga.

He must make atonement for the most holy place; he must make atonement for the tent of meeting and for the altar, and he must make atonement for the priests and for all the people of the assembly.

34 Oyo nde ekozala mpo na bino malako ya libela: mbala moko na mobu, bokosala mosala ya bolimbisi masumu nyonso ya bana ya Isalaele. » Mpe basalaki ndenge kaka Yawe atindaki Moyize.

This will always be a statute for you, to make atonement for the people of Israel because of all their sins, once in every year.” This was done as Yahweh commanded Moses.
