Levitike 19
1 Yawe alobaki na Moyize:
And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
2 « Yebisa lisanga mobimba ya bana ya Isalaele: ‹ Bozala bule, pamba te Ngai Yawe, Nzambe na bino, nazali Bule.
Speak unto all the assembly of the children of Israel, and say unto them, Holy shall ye be, for I Jehovah your God am holy.
3 Moto nyonso kati na bino asengeli kotosa mama mpe tata na ye, mpe bosengeli kotosa mikolo na Ngai ya Saba. Nazali Yawe, Nzambe na bino.
Ye shall reverence every man his mother, and his father, and my sabbaths shall ye keep: I am Jehovah your God.
4 Bomipesa te na banzambe ya bikeko to bomisalela te banzambe ya bikeko ya bibende; Ngai nazali Yawe, Nzambe na bino.
Ye shall not turn unto idols, and ye shall not make to yourselves molten gods: I am Jehovah your God.
5 Tango bokobonza mbeka ya boyokani epai na Yawe, bosala yango na ndenge esengeli mpo ete endimama mpo na bolamu na bino.
And if ye sacrifice a sacrifice of peace-offering to Jehovah, ye shall sacrifice it for your acceptance.
6 Bosengeli kolia yango kaka na mokolo oyo bobonzi yango lokola mbeka to na mokolo oyo elandi. Mpe eloko nyonso oyo ekotikala, bosengeli kozikisa yango na moto na mokolo ya misato.
On the day when ye sacrifice it shall it be eaten, and on the morrow; and that which remaineth until the third day shall be burned with fire.
7 Kasi na mokolo yango ya misato, mbeka yango ekokoma mbindo; soki moto moko alie yango, nakondima yango lisusu te.
And if it be eaten at all on the third day, it is an unclean thing: it shall not be accepted.
8 Moto nyonso oyo akolia yango, akomema mokumba ya mabe na ye mpo ete asambwisi eloko oyo ezali bule mpo na Yawe, mpe basengeli kobengana ye kati na bato na ye.
And he that eateth it shall bear his iniquity; for he hath profaned the hallowed thing of Jehovah; and that soul shall be cut off from among his peoples.
9 Tango okobuka mbuma ya bilanga na yo, okobuka yango te kino na mondelo, mpe okozonga te mpo na kolokota mbuma oyo ekokweya.
And when ye reap the harvest of your land, thou shalt not wholly reap the corners of thy field, and the gleaning of thy harvest thou shalt not gather.
10 Okobuka mpe te mbuma ya vino oyo ekotikala to kolokota oyo ekokweya. Okotika yango mpo na babola to bapaya: nazali Yawe Nzambe na yo.
And thy vineyard shalt thou not glean, neither shalt thou gather what hath been left of thy vineyard; thou shalt leave them for the poor and the stranger: I am Jehovah your God.
11 Okoyiba te, okoloba lokuta te, moto moko te akosa moninga na ye.
Ye shall not steal, and ye shall not deal falsely, and ye shall not lie one to another.
12 Okolapa te ndayi ya lokuta na Kombo na Ngai mpe okobebisa te bosantu ya Kombo ya Nzambe na yo. Nazali Yawe, Nzambe na yo.
And ye shall not swear by my name falsely, and profane the name of thy God: I am Jehovah.
13 Okonyokola te moninga na yo to okoyiba ye te. Okobomba te lifuti ya mosali na yo butu mobimba kino na tongo.
Thou shalt not oppress thy neighbour, neither rob him. The wages of the hired servant shall not abide with thee all night until the morning.
14 Okolakela mabe te moto oyo akufa matoyi mpe okotia libaku te liboso ya mokufi miso, kasi okotosa Nzambe na yo. Nazali Yawe.
Thou shalt not revile a deaf person, and thou shalt not put a stumbling-block before a blind one; but thou shalt fear thy God: I am Jehovah.
15 Okosambisa na bosembo. Okokotela te, ezala mobola to mozwi. Okosambisa moninga na yo na bosembo.
Ye shall do no unrighteousness in judgment; thou shalt not respect the person of the lowly, nor honour the person of the great; in righteousness shalt thou judge thy neighbour.
16 Okokende te kotonga bato na yo bipai na bipai. Okosala eloko moko te oyo ekoyeisa pasi na bomoi ya moninga na yo. Nazali Yawe.
Thou shalt not go about as a talebearer among thy people; thou shalt not stand up against the life of thy neighbour: I am Jehovah.
17 Okoyina ndeko na yo te na motema na yo; kasi pamela moninga mpo ete omema ngambo te na likambo na ye.
Thou shalt not hate thy brother in thy heart; thou shalt earnestly rebuke thy neighbour, lest thou bear sin on account of him.
18 Okozongisa mabe na mabe te to okobombela moko kati na bato na yo kanda te, kasi okolinga moninga na yo ndenge yo moko omilingaka. Nazali Yawe.
Thou shalt not avenge thyself, nor bear any grudge against the children of thy people, but thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself: I am Jehovah.
19 Okobatela bikateli na ngai: okosangisa nzoto te ya banyama mibale ya lolenge mibale ekesana; okolona mpe te na elanga na yo nkona mibale ekesana. Okolata te elamba oyo batongi na basinga mibale ekesana.
My statutes shall ye observe. Thou shalt not let thy cattle gender with another sort; thou shalt not sow thy field with seed of two sorts; and a garment woven of two materials shall not come upon thee.
20 Soki mobali moko asangisi nzoto na mwasi oyo azali mobandami ya mobali mosusu, kasi nanu bapeseli ye te biloko ya libala to kopesa ye bonsomi, esengeli mobali wana afuta lomande. Nzokande bango mibale, bakoboma bango te mpo ete mwasi yango asikolamaki nanu te.
And if a man lie with a woman for copulation, and she is a bondwoman betrothed to a husband, but not at all ransomed, nor hath freedom been given to her, there shall be a chastisement: they shall not be put to death, for she was not free.
21 Mpe mobali asengeli komema na ekotelo ya Ndako ya kapo ya Bokutani meme ya mobali oyo akobonza epai na Yawe lokola mbeka mpo na masumu.
And he shall bring his trespass-offering to Jehovah, unto the entrance of the tent of meeting, a ram for a trespass-offering.
22 Bongo na nzela ya meme yango ya mbeka mpo na masumu, Nganga-Nzambe akosala mosala ya bolimbisi masumu ya mobali yango liboso ya Yawe, mpe masumu oyo asilaki kosala ekolimbisama.
And the priest shall make atonement for him with the ram of the trespass-offering before Jehovah for his sin which he hath done; and the sin which he hath done shall be forgiven him.
23 Tango bokokota na mokili ya Kanana, bokolona banzete ya lolenge nyonso oyo ebotaka mbuma. Na mibu misato, bokozwa bambuma na yango nyonso lokola bambuma ya mbindo; boye bokolia yango te.
And when ye come into the land and plant all manner of trees for food, then ye shall count its fruit as uncircumcised, three years shall it be uncircumcised unto you: it shall not be eaten of;
24 Na mobu ya minei, bokobulisa bambuma na yango nyonso ekozala bule mpo na Yawe lokola litatoli ya kozongisa matondi epai na Ye.
and in the fourth year all the fruit thereof shall be holy for praise to Jehovah;
25 Nzokande na mobu ya mitano, bokoki kolia bambuma yango. Na nzela wana, bambuma na bino ekokoma ebele. Nazali Yawe, Nzambe na bino.
and in the fifth year shall ye eat the fruit thereof, that it may increase unto you the produce thereof: I am Jehovah your God.
26 Bokolia te nyama oyo ezali na makila kati na yango. Bokosalela soloka to kindoki te.
Ye shall eat nothing with the blood. — Ye shall not practise enchantment, nor use auguries.
27 Okokata suki te na bangambo nyonso ya moto na yo, okokata mpe te mandefu na bapembeni na yango.
— Ye shall not shave the corners of your head round, neither shalt thou mutilate the corners of thy beard.
28 Soki bozwi matanga, bomikata-kata banzoto na bino te to bomikatisa banzoloko te. Nazali Yawe.
And cuttings for a dead person shall ye not make in your flesh, nor put any tattoo writing upon you: I am Jehovah.
29 Bobebisa te lokumu ya bana na bino ya basi na kokomisa bango basi ya ndumba, noki te mboka mobimba ekomipesa na kindumba mpe ekotonda na mabe.
— Do not profane thy daughter, to give her up to whoredom; lest the land practise whoredom, and the land become full of infamy.
30 Bokobatelaka mikolo na Ngai ya Saba mpe bokotosaka Esika na Ngai ya bule. Nazali Yawe.
— My sabbaths shall ye keep, and my sanctuary shall ye reverence: I am Jehovah.
31 Bokende te kotuna makambo na bino epai ya bato oyo basololaka na bakufi to epai ya banganga-kisi, noki te bokomikomisa mbindo; Ngai nazali Yawe, Nzambe na bino.
— Turn not unto necromancers and unto soothsayers; seek not after them to make yourselves unclean: I am Jehovah your God.
32 Bokotelema liboso ya bato oyo banuni, bokolakisa botosi na bino epai ya mibange; na nzela wana, bokokumisa Nzambe na bino. Nazali Yawe.
Before the hoary head thou shalt rise up, and shalt honour the face of an old man; and thou shalt fear thy God: I am Jehovah.
33 Soki mopaya moko ayei kovanda kati na bino, na mokili na bino, bonyokola ye te.
And if a stranger sojourn with thee in your land, ye shall not molest him.
34 Nzokande bozwa ye kati na bino lokola mwana mboka. Bokolinga ye lokola bino moko, pamba te bino mpe bozalaki bapaya kati na Ejipito. Nazali Yawe, Nzambe na bino.
As one born among you shall the stranger who sojourneth with you be unto you; and thou shalt love him as thyself; for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt: I am Jehovah your God.
35 Bokosalela lokuta te tango bokomeka molayi, bakilo mpe tango bokoluka koyeba ebele oyo ekoki kozala na kati.
Ye shall do no unrighteousness in judgment, in measure of length, in weight, and in measure of capacity:
36 Bokosalela bimekelo ya malamu, bakilo ya malamu, efa ya malamu; Ngai nazali Yawe, Nzambe na bino, oyo abimisaki bino na Ejipito.
just balances, just weights, a just ephah, and a just hin shall ye have: I am Jehovah your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt.
37 Bokobatela bikateli mpe mibeko na Ngai nyonso mpe bokosalela yango. Nazali Yawe. › »
And ye shall observe all my statutes, and all mine ordinances, and do them: I am Jehovah.
