Levitike 22
1 Yawe alobaki na Moyize:
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
2 « Talisa Aron mpe bana na ye ya mibali ndenge nini basengeli kozala mosika ya makabo oyo bana ya Isalaele babonzelaka Ngai, mpo ete babebisa te bosantu ya Kombo na Ngai ya bule; Ngai nazali Yawe.
Speak to Aaron and to his sons, that they beware of those things that are consecrated of the children of Israel, and defile not the name of the things sanctified to me, which they offer. I am the Lord.
3 Loba na bango: ‹ Mpo na milongo oyo ekoya na sima mpe kati na bakitani na bino, soki moko azali mbindo mpe apusani pembeni ya makabo ya bule oyo bana ya Isalaele babonzeli Ngai Yawe, esengeli balongola moto wana na miso na Ngai. Nazali Yawe.
Say to them and to their posterity: Every man of your race, that approacheth to those things that are consecrated, and which the children of Israel have offered to the Lord, in whom there is uncleanness, shall perish before the Lord. I am the Lord.
4 Soki moko ya bakitani ya Aron azali na bokono na poso ya nzoto lokola maba, bokono ya kobima tofina to makila na nzoto ya mibali, akoki te kolia likabo ya bule kino tango akokoma peto. Ndenge moko mpe, akozala mbindo soki asimbi eloko oyo ekomi mbindo mpo ete etuti ebembe to mobali oyo abimisi mayi ya mibali;
The man of the seed of Aaron, that is a leper, or that suffereth a running of the seed, shall not eat of those things that are sanctified to me, until he be healed. He that toucheth any thing unclean by occasion of the dead, and he whose seed goeth from him as in generation,
5 soki asimbi nyama oyo etambolaka na libumu mpe ekomisaka mbindo to soki asimbi moto nyonso oyo akoki kokomisa ye mbindo ata na nzela ya ndenge nini.
And he that toucheth a creeping thing, or any unclean thing, the touching of which is defiling,
6 Moto oyo akosimba eloko ya ndenge wana akozala mbindo kino na pokwa. Akoki kolia likabo ya bule te kino tango akosukola na mayi.
Shall be unclean until the evening, and shall not eat those things that are sanctified: but when he hath washed his flesh with water,
7 Akokoma peto tango moyi ekolala mpe sima na yango nde akoki kolia makabo ya bule, pamba te ezali bilei na ye.
And the sun is down, then being purified, he shall eat of the sanctified things, because it is his meat.
8 Akoki te kolia nyama oyo ekufi yango moko to oyo nyama ya zamba ebomi, noki te akokoma mbindo na nzela na yango. Nazali Yawe.
That which dieth of itself, and that which was taken by a beast, they shall not eat, nor be defiled therewith, I am the Lord.
9 Banganga-Nzambe bakotosa malako na Ngai tango nyonso mpo ete bamema ngambo te mpe bakufa te, noki te bakokufa solo. Ngai nazali Yawe oyo abulisaki bango mpe akomisaka bango basantu mpo na mosala na Ngai.
Let them keep my precepts, that they may not fall into sin, and die in the sanctuary, when they shall have defiled it. I am the Lord who sanctify them.
10 Moto moko te oyo azali na libota ya Banganga-Nzambe te akoki kolia makabo ya bule: ezala mopaya oyo Nganga-Nzambe abengi to mosali oyo Nganga-Nzambe azwi na mosala.
No stranger shall eat of the sanctified things: a sojourner of the priests, or a hired servant, shall not eat of them.
11 Kasi soki Nganga-Nzambe asombi mowumbu na mbongo na ye to soki mowumbu abotami na ndako na ye, mowumbu wana akolia makabo ya bule.
But he whom the priest hath bought, and he that is his servant, born in his house, these shall eat of them.
12 Soki mwana mwasi ya Nganga-Nzambe abali mobali oyo azali Nganga-Nzambe te, akolia te makabo ya bule.
If the daughter of a priest be married to any of the people, she shall not eat of those things that are sanctified, nor of the firstfruits.
13 Kasi soki mwana mwasi ya Nganga-Nzambe akufisi mobali to akabwani na mobali, bongo amiboteli mwana te mpe azongi kovanda na ndako ya tata na ye lokola tango azalaki elenge, akoki kolia biloko ya ndenge moko na tata na ye; kasi moto oyo azali Nganga-Nzambe te akolia yango te.
But if she be a widow, or divorced, and having no children return to her father’s house, she shall eat of her father’s meats, as she was wont to do when she was a maid, no stranger hath leave to eat of them.
14 Soki moto alie likabo ya bule na kozanga koyeba, asengeli kozongisa epai ya Nganga-Nzambe motuya ya likabo yango mpe akobakisa eteni moko kati na mitano ya motuya na yango.
He that eateth of the sanctified things through ignorance, shall add the fifth part with that which he ate, and shall give it to the priest into the sanctuary.
15 Banganga-Nzambe basengeli te kobebisa lokumu ya makabo ya bule oyo bana ya Isalaele babonzeli Yawe.
And they shall not profane the sanctified things of the children of Israel, which they offer to the Lord:
16 Soki, wana bazali mbindo, balie yango, bakomemisa bana ya Isalaele ngambo oyo ekosala ete bapesa likabo mpo na kozongisa boyokani, pamba te ezali Ngai Yawe nde nabulisaka bango mpo na mosala na Ngai. › »
Lest perhaps they bear the iniquity of their trespass, when they shall have eaten the sanctified things. I am the Lord who sanctify them.
17 Yawe alobaki na Moyize:
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
18 « Yebisa Aron, bana na ye ya mibali mpe bana nyonso ya Isalaele: ‹ Soki moto ya Isalaele to mopaya oyo azali kovanda kati na Isalaele alingi kobonza mbeka ya kotumba epai na Yawe mpo na kokokisa ndayi to likabo oyo apesi kolanda mokano ya motema na ye moko,
Speak to Aaron, and to his sons, and to all the children of Israel, and thou shalt say to them: The man of the house of Israel, and of the strangers who dwell with you, that offereth his oblation, either paying his vows, or offering of his own accord, whatsoever it be which he presenteth for a holocaust of the Lord,
19 asengeli kobonza nyama ya mobali oyo ezangi mbeba kati na bangombe, bameme to bantaba mpo ete Nzambe andima yango.
To be offered by you, it shall be a male without blemish of the beeves, or of the sheep, or of the goats.
20 Asengeli te kobonza nyama oyo ezali na mbeba, pamba te ekondimama te.
If it have a blemish you shall not offer it, neither shall it be acceptable.
21 Ndenge moko mpe, soki moto alingi kobonza epai na Yawe mbeka ya boyokani oyo azwi kati na bangombe, bameme to bantaba, mpo na kokokisa ndayi to likabo oyo apesi kolanda mokano ya motema na ye moko, nyama yango esengeli kozala ezanga mbeba.
The man that offereth a victim of peace offerings to the Lord, either paying his vows, or offering of his own accord, whether of beeves or of sheep, shall offer it without blemish, that it may be acceptable: there shall be no blemish in it.
22 Bokobonza te epai na Yawe nyama oyo ekufa liso to ezoka, oyo ezali kotambola tengu-tengu to oyo ezali na bokono na poso ya nzoto, oyo ezali na makwanza to na mapalata; bokoki te kotia nyama ya boye na likolo ya etumbelo lokola likabo bazikisa na moto mpo na Yawe.
If it be blind, or broken, or have a scar or blisters, or a scab, or a dry scurf: you shall not offer them to the Lord, nor burn any thing of them upon the Lord’s altar.
23 Nzokande bokoki mpe te kobonza mpo na Yawe lokola likabo oyo bopesi kolanda mokano ya mitema na bino moko, ngombe ya mobali to meme oyo ezali na makolo to maboko ekokana te. Mbeka ya boye ekoki kondimama te mpo na kokokisa ndayi.
An ox or a sheep, that hath the ear and the tail cut off, thou mayst offer voluntarily: but a vow may not be paid with them.
24 Bokobonza kaka epai na Yawe, nyama oyo mapumbu na yango bafina penza to banika, balongola to bakata; bokoki kosala bongo te kati na mboka na bino moko.
You shall not offer to the Lord any beast that hath the testicles bruised, or crushed, or cut and taken away: neither shall you do any such thing in your land.
25 Bokoki kondima nyama ya lolenge oyo te na maboko ya bapaya mpo na kobonza yango epai na Yawe lokola bilei ya Nzambe na bino. Ekoki kondimama te, pamba te ezali na mbeba. › »
You shall not offer bread to your God, from the hand of a stranger, nor any other thing that he would give: because they are all corrupted, and defiled: you shall not receive them.
26 Yawe alobaki na Moyize:
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
27 « Soki mwana ngombe, mwana meme to mwana ntaba ebotami, ekosala mikolo sambo epai ya mama na yango, bongo na mokolo ya mwambe, ekondimama lokola likabo bazikisa na moto mpo na Yawe.
When a bullock, or a sheep, or a goat, is brought forth, they shall be seven days under the udder of their dam: but the eighth day, and thenceforth, they may be offered to the Lord.
28 Bokoki te kokata kingo ya ngombe ya mwasi to ya meme ya mwasi mokolo moko na mwana na yango.
Whether it be a cow, or a sheep, they shall not be sacrificed the same day with their young ones.
29 Tango bokobonza mbeka ya kozongisa matondi epai na Yawe, bobonza yango na lolenge oyo ekosala ete Nzambe andima bino.
If you immolate a victim for thanksgiving to the Lord, that he may be favourable,
30 Esengeli bolia yango kaka mokolo wana. Bokotika eloko moko te kino na tongo. Nazali Yawe.
You shall eat it the same day, there shall not any of it remain until the morning of the next day. I am the Lord.
31 Bobatela mitindo na Ngai mpe bosalela yango. Nazali Yawe.
Keep my commandments, and do them. I am the Lord.
32 Bokobebisa te lokumu ya Kombo na Ngai ya bule, mpo ete bana ya Isalaele bayeba solo ete Ngai nazali Mosantu. Ezali Ngai Yawe nde nabulisaki bino.
Profane not my holy name, that I may be sanctified in the midst of the children of Israel. I am the Lord who sanctify you,
33 Nabimisaki bino na mokili ya Ejipito mpo ete nazala Nzambe na bino. Nazali Yawe. »
And who brought you out of the land of Egypt, that I might be your God: I am the Lord.
