< Levitike 20 >
Then the LORD said to Moses,
2 ete apesa malako oyo epai ya bana ya Isalaele: « Soki moto moko ya Isalaele to mopaya oyo avandi kati na Isalaele abonzi moko kati na bana na ye lokola mbeka epai ya nzambe Moloki, esengeli baboma ye. Bato ya mokili bakobamba ye mabanga.
“Tell the Israelites, ‘Any Israelite or foreigner living in Israel who gives any of his children to Molech must be put to death. The people of the land are to stone him.
3 Ngai nakotombokela moto yango mpe nakolongola ye kati na bato na ye, pamba te abonzaki mwana na ye lokola mbeka epai ya nzambe Moloki mpo na kokomisa mbindo Esika na Ngai ya bule mpe mpo na kobebisa bosantu ya Kombo na Ngai.
And I will set My face against that man and cut him off from his people, because by giving his offspring to Molech, he has defiled My sanctuary and profaned My holy name.
4 Mpe soki bato ya mokili bakangi miso na bango tango moto wana azali kobonza mwana na ye lokola mbeka epai ya nzambe Moloki mpe baboyi koboma ye,
And if the people of the land ever hide their eyes and fail to put to death the man who gives one of his children to Molech,
5 ngai nakotombokela moto yango mpe libota na ye, nakolongola bango na ekolo na bango, elongo na bato nyonso oyo balandaki ye mpo na kosalela nzambe Moloki.
then I will set My face against that man and his family and cut off from among their people both him and all who follow him in prostituting themselves with Molech.
6 Nakotombokela lisusu bato nyonso oyo balandaka moto oyo asololaka na bakufi mpe banganga-kisi mpo na kosalela banzambe ya bikeko. Nakolongola bango kati na bato na bango.
Whoever turns to mediums or spiritists to prostitute himself with them, I will also set My face against that person and cut him off from his people.
7 Bomibulisa mpe bozala bule, pamba te nazali Yawe, Nzambe na bino.
Consecrate yourselves, therefore, and be holy, because I am the LORD your God.
8 Bobatela bikateli na Ngai mpe bosalela yango. Nazali Yawe oyo akomisi bino basantu.
And you shall keep My statutes and practice them. I am the LORD who sanctifies you.
9 Moto nyonso oyo akolakela tata na ye to mama na ye mabe, esengeli baboma ye; pamba te alakeli tata na ye to mama na ye mabe: makila na ye ekotangama na moto na ye moko.
If anyone curses his father or mother, he must be put to death. He has cursed his father or mother; his blood shall be upon him.
10 Soki mobali asali ekobo na mwasi ya mobali mosusu, mwasi ya moninga na ye; bango mibale, mwasi na mobali oyo basali ekobo, esengeli koboma bango.
If a man commits adultery with another man’s wife—with the wife of his neighbor—both the adulterer and the adulteress must surely be put to death.
11 Soki mobali asangisi nzoto na mwasi ya tata na ye, asambwisi tata na ye; bango mibale, esengeli koboma bango: makila na bango ekotangama na mito na bango moko.
If a man lies with his father’s wife, he has uncovered his father’s nakedness. Both must surely be put to death; their blood is upon them.
12 Soki mobali asangisi nzoto na mwasi ya mwana na ye ya mobali; bango mibale esengeli koboma bango, pamba te basali bosoto: makila na bango ekotangama na mito na bango moko.
If a man lies with his daughter-in-law, both must surely be put to death. They have acted perversely; their blood is upon them.
13 Soki mobali asangisi nzoto na moninga na ye mobali ndenge basangisaka nzoto na mwasi, bango mibale basali likambo moko ya mbindo; boye esengeli koboma bango mpe makila na bango ekotangama na mito na bango moko.
If a man lies with a man as with a woman, they have both committed an abomination. They must surely be put to death; their blood is upon them.
14 Soki mobali abali mwasi mpe mama ya mwasi, ezali likambo ya mabe koleka. Bango nyonso misato: mobali mpe basi nyonso mibale, esengeli kotumba bango na moto, mpo ete mabe moko te ezala kati na bino.
If a man marries both a woman and her mother, it is depraved. Both he and they must be burned in the fire, so that there will be no depravity among you.
15 Soki mobali asangisi nzoto na nyama, esengeli koboma ye elongo na nyama yango.
If a man lies carnally with an animal, he must be put to death. And you are also to kill the animal.
16 Ndenge moko mpe soki mwasi asangisi nzoto na nyama, bakoboma ye elongo na nyama yango: makila na bango ekotangama na mito na bango moko.
If a woman approaches any animal to mate with it, you must kill both the woman and the animal. They must surely be put to death; their blood is upon them.
17 Soki mobali abali mwasi oyo azali ndeko na ye mpo ete abotami na mama mosusu to tata mosusu, bongo asangisi na ye nzoto, ezali likambo ya soni. Bakolongola bango na miso ya bato na bango. Lokola mobali asambwisi ndeko na ye ya mwasi, akomema ngambo.
If a man marries his sister, whether the daughter of his father or of his mother, and they have sexual relations, it is a disgrace. They must be cut off in the sight of their people. He has uncovered the nakedness of his sister; he shall bear his iniquity.
18 Soki mobali asangisi nzoto na mwasi oyo azali komona makila na ye ya sanza; bango mibale, esengeli kobengana bango kati na bato na bango, mpo te basangisaki nzoto na tango mwasi azalaki komona makila na ye ya sanza.
If a man lies with a menstruating woman and has sexual relations with her, he has exposed the source of her flow, and she has uncovered the source of her blood. Both of them must be cut off from among their people.
19 Okosangisa nzoto te na ndeko mwasi ya tata to ya mama na yo, pamba te ekosambwisa bondeko. Soki moto asali yango, bango mibale bakomema ngambo mpo na mabe na bango.
You must not have sexual relations with the sister of your mother or your father, for it is exposing one’s own kin; both shall bear their iniquity.
20 Soki mobali moko asangisi nzoto na mwasi ya ndeko ya tata na ye to mwasi ya ndeko ya mama na ye, asambwisi ndeko ya tata na ye to ya mama na ye; bango mibale bakomema ngambo mpo na mabe na bango mpe bakokufa bazanga bana.
If a man lies with his uncle’s wife, he has uncovered the nakedness of his uncle. They will bear their sin; they shall die childless.
21 Soki mobali asangisi nzoto na mwasi ya ndeko na ye ya mobali, ezali likambo ya mbindo; asambwisi ndeko na ye ya mobali; bakokufa bazanga bana.
If a man marries his brother’s wife, it is an act of impurity. He has uncovered the nakedness of his brother; they shall be childless.
22 Bobatela mpe botosa bikateli mpe mibeko na Ngai nyonso; bosalela yango mpo ete mokili epai wapi nakomema bino mpo na kovanda esanza bino te.
You are therefore to keep all My statutes and ordinances, so that the land where I am bringing you to live will not vomit you out.
23 Bolanda te bizaleli ya bikolo oyo nakobengana liboso na bino, pamba te basalaki makambo wana nyonso mpe nayinaki bango.
You must not follow the statutes of the nations I am driving out before you. Because they did all these things, I abhorred them.
24 Boye nayebisaki bino: ‹ Bino nde bato bokozwa mokili na bango, mokili oyo ebimisaka miliki mpe mafuta ya nzoyi; napesi bino yango lokola libula. › Nazali Yawe, Nzambe na bino, oyo alongolaki bino kati na bikolo mpe atiaki bino pembeni.
But I have told you that you will inherit their land, since I will give it to you as an inheritance—a land flowing with milk and honey. I am the LORD your God, who has set you apart from the peoples.
25 Yango wana bosengeli kosala bokeseni kati na nyama oyo ezali mbindo mpe oyo ezangi mbindo, kati na ndeke oyo ezali mbindo mpe oyo ezali peto. Bosengeli te komikomisa mbindo na nzela ya nyama, ya ndeke to ya nyama nyonso oyo etambolaka na libumu, oyo natiaki pembeni mpo ete bino mpe bomona yango lokola mbindo.
You are therefore to distinguish between clean and unclean animals and birds. Do not become contaminated by any animal or bird, or by anything that crawls on the ground; I have set these apart as unclean for you.
26 Bozala bule, bato oyo babulisami mpo na Ngai; pamba te Ngai Yawe, nazali Bule; nalongolaki bino kati na bikolo mosusu, natiaki bino pembeni, mpo ete bozala bato na Ngai moko.
You are to be holy to Me because I, the LORD, am holy, and I have set you apart from the nations to be My own.
27 Mobali to mwasi oyo asololaka na bakufi to oyo azali nganga-kisi kati na bino, esengeli baboma ye: bakobamba bango mabanga mpe makila na bango ekotangama na mito na bango moko. »
A man or a woman who is a medium or spiritist must surely be put to death. They shall be stoned; their blood is upon them.’”
