Levitike 20
1 Yawe alobaki na Moyize
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.
"Moreover, you shall tell the children of Israel, 'Anyone of the children of Israel, or of the foreigners who sojourn in Israel, who gives any of his offspring to Molech; he shall surely be put to death. The people of 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.
I also will set my face against that person, and will cut him off from among his people because he has given of his offspring to Molech, to defile my sanctuary, and to profane 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,
If the people of the land all hide their eyes from that person, when he gives of his offspring to Molech, and do not 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 I will set my face against that man, and against his family, and will cut him off, and all who play the prostitute after him, to play the prostitute with Molech, from among 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.
"'The person that turns to spirits of the dead, and to familiar spirits, to prostitute himself with them, I will even set my face against that person, and will cut him off from among his people.
7 Bomibulisa mpe bozala bule, pamba te nazali Yawe, Nzambe na bino.
"'Sanctify yourselves therefore, and be holy; for I am the LORD your God.
8 Bobatela bikateli na Ngai mpe bosalela yango. Nazali Yawe oyo akomisi bino basantu.
You shall keep my statutes, and do 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.
"'For everyone who curses his father or his mother shall surely be put to death: he has cursed his father or his mother; his blood shall be upon him.

"'If a man has sexual relations with a male, as with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.

"'If a man takes his sister, his father's daughter, or his mother's daughter, and sees her nakedness, and she sees his nakedness; it is a shameful thing; and they shall be cut off in the sight of the children of their people: he has uncovered his sister's nakedness; 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.

"'You shall therefore keep all my statutes, and all my ordinances, and do them; that the land, where I am bringing you to dwell, may 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 shall not walk in the customs of the nation, which I am casting out before you: for they did all these things, and therefore 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.

"'You shall therefore make a distinction between the clean animal and the unclean, and between the unclean fowl and the clean: and you shall not make yourselves abominable by animal, or by bird, or by anything with which the ground teems, which I have separated from you 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 shall be holy to me: for I, the LORD, am holy, and have set you apart from the peoples, that you should 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. »
