Levitike 19
1 Yawe alobaki na Moyize:
The Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
2 « Yebisa lisanga mobimba ya bana ya Isalaele: ‹ Bozala bule, pamba te Ngai Yawe, Nzambe na bino, nazali Bule.
Speak to all the congregation of the children of Israel, and thou shalt say to them: Be ye holy, because I the Lord 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.
Let every one fear his father, and his mother. Keep my sabbaths. I am the Lord your God.
4 Bomipesa te na banzambe ya bikeko to bomisalela te banzambe ya bikeko ya bibende; Ngai nazali Yawe, Nzambe na bino.
Turn ye not to idols, nor make to yourselves molten gods. I am the Lord your God.
5 Tango bokobonza mbeka ya boyokani epai na Yawe, bosala yango na ndenge esengeli mpo ete endimama mpo na bolamu na bino.
If ye offer in sacrifice a peace offering to the Lord, that he may be favourable,
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.
You shall eat it on the same day it was offered, and the next day: and whatsoever shall be left until the third day, you shall burn with fire.
7 Kasi na mokolo yango ya misato, mbeka yango ekokoma mbindo; soki moto moko alie yango, nakondima yango lisusu te.
If after two days ally man eat thereof, he shall be profane and guilty of impiety:
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 shall bear his iniquity, because he hath defiled the holy thing of the Lord, and that soul shall perish from among his people.
9 Tango okobuka mbuma ya bilanga na yo, okobuka yango te kino na mondelo, mpe okozonga te mpo na kolokota mbuma oyo ekokweya.
When thou reapest the corn of thy land, thou shalt not cut down all that is on the face of the earth to the very ground: nor shalt thou gather the ears that remain.
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.
Neither shalt thou gather the bunches and grapes that fall down in thy vineyard, but shalt leave them to the poor and the strangers to take. I am the Lord your God.
11 Okoyiba te, okoloba lokuta te, moto moko te akosa moninga na ye.
You shall not steal. You shall not lie, neither shall any man deceive his neighbour.
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.
Thou shalt not swear falsely by my name, nor profane the name of thy God. I am the Lord.
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 calumniate thy neighbour, nor oppress him by violence. The wages of him that hath been hired by thee shall not abide with thee 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 speak evil of the deaf, nor put a stumblingblock before the blind: but thou shalt fear the Lord thy God, because I am the Lord.
15 Okosambisa na bosembo. Okokotela te, ezala mobola to mozwi. Okosambisa moninga na yo na bosembo.
Thou shalt not do that which is unjust, nor judge unjustly. Respect not the person of the poor, nor honour the countenance of the mighty. But judge thy neighbour according to justice.
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 be a detractor nor a whisperer among the people. Thou shalt not stand against the blood of thy neighbour. I am the Lord.
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, but reprove him openly, lest thou incur sin through 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.
Seek not revenge, nor be mindful of the injury of thy citizens. Thou shalt love thy friend as thyself. I am the Lord.
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.
Keep ye my laws. Thou shalt not make thy cattle to gender with beasts of any other kind. Thou shalt not sow thy field with different seeds. Thou shalt not wear a garment that is woven of two sorts.
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.
If a man carnally lie with a woman that is a bondservant and marriageable, and yet not redeemed with a price, nor made free: they both shall be scourged, and they shall not be put to death, because she was not a free woman.
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 for his trespass he shall offer a ram to the Lord, at the door of the tabernacle of the testimony:
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 pray for him and for his sin before the Lord, and he shall have mercy on him, and the sin shall be forgiven.
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.
When you shall be come into the land, and shall have planted in it fruit trees, you shall take away the firstfruits of them: the fruit that comes forth shall be unclean to you, neither shall you eat of them.
24 Na mobu ya minei, bokobulisa bambuma na yango nyonso ekozala bule mpo na Yawe lokola litatoli ya kozongisa matondi epai na Ye.
But in the fourth year, all their fruit shall be sanctified, to the praise of the Lord.
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 you shall eat the fruits thereof, gathering the increase thereof. I am the Lord your God.
26 Bokolia te nyama oyo ezali na makila kati na yango. Bokosalela soloka to kindoki te.
You shall not eat with blood. You shall not divine nor observe dreams.
27 Okokata suki te na bangambo nyonso ya moto na yo, okokata mpe te mandefu na bapembeni na yango.
Nor shall you cut your hair roundwise: nor shave your beard.
28 Soki bozwi matanga, bomikata-kata banzoto na bino te to bomikatisa banzoloko te. Nazali Yawe.
You shall not make any cuttings in your flesh, for the dead, neither shall you make in yourselves any figures or marks: I am the Lord.
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.
Make not thy daughter a common strumpet, lest the land be defiled, and filled with wickedness.
30 Bokobatelaka mikolo na Ngai ya Saba mpe bokotosaka Esika na Ngai ya bule. Nazali Yawe.
Keep ye my sabbaths, and reverence my sanctuary. I am the Lord.
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.
Go not aside after wizards, neither ask any thing of soothsayers, to be defiled by them: I am the Lord 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.
Rise up before the hoary head, and honour the person of the aged man: and fear the Lord thy God. I am the Lord.
33 Soki mopaya moko ayei kovanda kati na bino, na mokili na bino, bonyokola ye te.
If a stranger dwell in your land, and abide among you, do not upbraid 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.
But let him be among you as one of the same country: and you shall love him as yourselves: for you were strangers in the land of Egypt. I am the Lord your God.
35 Bokosalela lokuta te tango bokomeka molayi, bakilo mpe tango bokoluka koyeba ebele oyo ekoki kozala na kati.
Do not any unjust thing in judgment, in rule, in weight, or in measure.
36 Bokosalela bimekelo ya malamu, bakilo ya malamu, efa ya malamu; Ngai nazali Yawe, Nzambe na bino, oyo abimisaki bino na Ejipito.
Let the balance be just and the weights equal, the bushel just, and the sextary equal. I am the Lord your God, that brought you out of the land of Egypt.
37 Bokobatela bikateli mpe mibeko na Ngai nyonso mpe bokosalela yango. Nazali Yawe. › »
Keep all my precepts, and all my judgments, and do them. I am the Lord.
