Levitike 20
1 Yawe alobaki na Moyize
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
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.
You shall also say to the children of Israel, If [there shall be] any of the children of Israel, or of those who have become proselytes in Israel, who shall give of his seed to Moloch, let him be surely put to death; the nation upon the land shall stone him with stones.
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 will cut him off from his people, because he has given of his seed to Moloch, to defile my sanctuary, and profane the name of them that are consecrated to me.
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 natives of the land should in anyway overlook that man in giving of his seed to Moloch, so as not to put him to death;
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 will I set my face against that man and his family, and I will destroy him, and all who have been of one mind with him, so that he should go a whoring to the princes, from their people.
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.
And the soul that shall follow those who have in them divining spirits, or enchanters, so as to go a whoring after them; I will set my face against that soul, and will destroy it from among its people.
7 Bomibulisa mpe bozala bule, pamba te nazali Yawe, Nzambe na bino.
And you shall be holy, for I the Lord your God [am] holy.
8 Bobatela bikateli na Ngai mpe bosalela yango. Nazali Yawe oyo akomisi bino basantu.
And you shall observe my ordinances, and do them: I [am] the Lord that 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.
Every man who shall speak evil of his father or of his mother, let him die the death; has he spoken evil of his father or his mother? he shall be guilty.
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.
Whatever man shall commit adultery with the wife of a man, or whoever shall commit adultery with the wife of his neighbor, let them die the death, the adulterer and the adulteress.
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.
And if any one should lie with his father's wife, he has uncovered his father's nakedness: let them both die the death, they are guilty.
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.
And if any one should lie with his daughter-in-law, let them both be put to death; for they have wrought impiety, they are guilty.
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.
And whoever shall lie with a male as with a woman, they have both wrought abomination; let them die the death, they are guilty.
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.
Whosoever shall take a woman and her mother, it is iniquity: they shall burn him and them with fire; so there shall not be iniquity among you.
15 Soki mobali asangisi nzoto na nyama, esengeli koboma ye elongo na nyama yango.
And whoever shall lie with a beast, let him die the death; and you shall kill the beast.
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.
And whatever woman shall approach any beast, so as to have connexion with it, you shall kill the woman and the beast: let them die the death, they are guilty.
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.
Whosoever shall take his sister by his father or by his mother, and shall see her nakedness, and she see his nakedness, it is a reproach: they shall be destroyed before the children of their family; he has uncovered his sister's nakedness, they shall bear their sin.
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.
And whatever man shall lie with a woman that is set apart [for a flux], and shall uncover her nakedness, he has uncovered her fountain, and she has uncovered the flux of her blood: they shall both be destroyed from among their generation.
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.
And you shall not uncover the nakedness of your father's sister, or of the sister of your mother; for that man has uncovered the nakedness of one near akin: they 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.
Whosoever shall lie with his near kinswoman, has uncovered the nakedness of one near akin to him: 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.
Whoever shall take his brother's wife, it is uncleanness; he has uncovered his brother's nakedness; they shall die 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.
And keep you all my ordinances, and my judgments; and you shall do them, and the land shall not be aggrieved with you, into which I bring you to dwell upon it.
23 Bolanda te bizaleli ya bikolo oyo nakobengana liboso na bino, pamba te basalaki makambo wana nyonso mpe nayinaki bango.
And walk you not in the customs of the nations which I drive out from before you; for they have done all these things, and I have 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.
and I said to you, You shall inherit their land, and I will give it to you for a possession, [even] a land flowing with milk and honey: I [am] the Lord your God, who have separated you from all people.
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.
And you shall make a distinction between the clean and the unclean cattle, and between clean and unclean birds; and you shall not defile your souls with cattle, or with birds, or with any creeping things of the earth, which I have separated for you by reason of uncleanness.
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.
And you shall be holy to me; because I the Lord your God [am] holy, who separated you from all nations, to be mine.
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. »
And [as for] a man or woman whoever of them shall have in them a divining spirit, or be an enchanter, let them both die the death: you shall stone them with stones, they are guilty.
