Levitike 19
1 Yawe alobaki na Moyize:
And the Lord spoke unto 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 congregation of the children of Israel, and say unto them, Ye shall be holy; for I the Eternal 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 fear, every man, his mother and his father, and my sabbaths shall ye keep: 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.
Ye shall not turn unto the idols, and molten gods shall ye not make to yourselves: 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.
And if ye offer a sacrifice of peace-offering unto the Lord, ye shall offer it so that it may be favorably received from you.
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 same day ye offer it shall it be eaten, and on the morrow: and whatever is left until the third day, shall be burnt with fire.
7 Kasi na mokolo yango ya misato, mbeka yango ekokoma mbindo; soki moto moko alie yango, nakondima yango lisusu te.
And if the intention was that it should be eaten on the third day, it is an abomination, it shall not be favorably received.
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 whoever eateth it shall bear his iniquity; because he hath profaned the hallowed thing of the Lord: and that soul shall be cut off 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.
And when ye reap the harvest of your land, thou shalt not wholly reap the corners of thy field, neither shalt thou gather up the gleanings of thy harvest.
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 thou shalt not glean thy vineyard, and the single grapes that drop in thy vineyard shalt thou not gather up; for the poor and the stranger shalt thou leave them: I am the Lord your God.
11 Okoyiba te, okoloba lokuta te, moto moko te akosa moninga na ye.
Ye shall not steal; neither shall ye deny [another's property in your hands], nor 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 thou shalt not thus 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 withhold any thing from thy neighbor, nor rob him: there shall not abide with thee the wages of him that is hired, through the night until 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 curse the deaf, nor put a stumbling-block before the blind; but thou shalt be afraid of thy God: I am the Lord.
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 poor, nor honor the person of the great; in righteousness shalt thou judge thy neighbor.
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 up and down as a talebearer among thy people; thou shalt not stand [idly] by the blood of thy neighbor: 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: thou shalt indeed rebuke thy neighbor, and not 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, nor bear any grudge against the children of thy people; but thou shalt love thy neighbor 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.
My statutes shall ye keep; thy cattle shalt thou not let gender with a diverse kind; thy field shalt thou not sow with mingled seeds; and a garment of mingled kinds, of linen and woollen, 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 carnally with a woman, that is a bond-maid, betrothed to a man, but who hath neither been redeemed, nor hath her freedom been given her: there shall a scourging be decreed; they shall not be put to death, because 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 unto the Lord, unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation: 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 an atonement for him with the ram of the trespass-offering before the Lord for his sin which he hath done; and he shall be forgiven for his sin which he hath committed.
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 any kind of tree bearing edible fruit, then shall ye count the fruit thereof as uncircumcised: three years shall it be as uncircumcised unto you, it shall not be eaten.
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 shall all its fruit be holy for praise-giving unto 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 shall ye eat of its fruit, in order that it may increase unto you its productiveness: I am the Lord your God.
26 Bokolia te nyama oyo ezali na makila kati na yango. Bokosalela soloka to kindoki te.
Ye shall not eat upon the blood; nor shall ye use enchantment, nor observe times.
27 Okokata suki te na bangambo nyonso ya moto na yo, okokata mpe te mandefu na bapembeni na yango.
Ye shall not cut round the corners [of the hair] of your head, neither shalt thou destroy the corners of thy beard.
28 Soki bozwi matanga, bomikata-kata banzoto na bino te to bomikatisa banzoloko te. Nazali Yawe.
And for the dead shall ye not make any incision in your flesh; and any etched-in writing shall you not fix on yourselves: 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.
Do not profane thy daughter, to cause her to be a prostitute; lest the land fall to prostitution, and the land become full of incest.
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 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.
Turn not unto them that have familiar spirits, and unto wizards; seek [them] not, 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.
Before the hoary head shalt thou rise up, and honor the face of the old man; and thou shalt be afraid of thy God: I am the Lord.
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 vex 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 in the land among you, shall be unto you the stranger that sojourneth with you, and thou shalt love him as thyself; for ye 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.
Ye shall do no unrighteousness in judgment, in meteyard, 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.
Just balances, just weights, a just ephah, and a just hin, shall ye have: I am the Lord your God, who have brought you forth out of the land of Egypt.
37 Bokobatela bikateli mpe mibeko na Ngai nyonso mpe bokosalela yango. Nazali Yawe. › »
Ye shall therefore observe all my statutes, and all my ordinances, and do them: I am the Lord.
