Levitike 22
1 Yawe alobaki na Moyize:
And the Lord spoke unto 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 unto Aaron and to his sons, that they keep themselves away from the holy things of the children of Israel, [so that they profane not my holy name] which they hallow unto me: 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 unto them, In your generations, if there be any man of all your seed, that approacheth unto the holy things, which the children of Israel hallow unto the Lord, having his uncleanness upon him, that soul shall be cut off from my presence: 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;
Any man whatsoever of the seed of Aaron, that is a leper, or hath a running issue, shall not eat of the holy things, until he be clean; and whoso toucheth any thing that is unclean by the dead, or a man whose seed goeth from him;
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.
Or a man who toucheth any creeping thing, whereby he may be made unclean, or a man through whom he can be rendered unclean, through any kind of uncleanness which he hath:
6 Moto oyo akosimba eloko ya ndenge wana akozala mbindo kino na pokwa. Akoki kolia likabo ya bule te kino tango akosukola na mayi.
The person that toucheth any such shall be unclean until the evening, and he shall not eat of the holy things, unless he have bathed his flesh in water.
7 Akokoma peto tango moyi ekolala mpe sima na yango nde akoki kolia makabo ya bule, pamba te ezali bilei na ye.
And when the sun hath set, he shall be clean; and afterward he may eat of the holy things; because it is his food.
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, or is torn by beasts, shall he not eat, to defile himself 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.
And they shall keep my charge, that they may not bear sin through it, and die therefore, if they profane 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.
And no stranger shall eat of a holy thing: a sojourner of a priest, or a hired servant, shall not eat of a holy thing.
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 if a priest buy a person with his money, then may he eat of it; and those that are born in his house, may eat of his bread.
12 Soki mwana mwasi ya Nganga-Nzambe abali mobali oyo azali Nganga-Nzambe te, akolia te makabo ya bule.
And if the daughter of a priest be married unto a stranger, she may not eat of the offered part of holy things.
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 the daughter of a priest, if she be a widow, or divorced, and have no child, and is returned unto her father's house, as in her youth, may eat of her father's bread; but no stranger shall eat thereof.
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.
And if a man eat a holy thing unwittingly, then shall he add the fifth part thereof unto it, and he shall make good unto the priest the holy thing.
15 Banganga-Nzambe basengeli te kobebisa lokumu ya makabo ya bule oyo bana ya Isalaele babonzeli Yawe.
And they shall not profane the holy things of the children of Israel, which they offer unto 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. › »
And load on themselves the iniquity of trespass, when they eat their holy things; for I am the Lord who sanctify them.
17 Yawe alobaki na Moyize:
And the Lord spoke unto 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 unto Aaron, and unto his sons, and unto all the children of Israel, and say unto them, If there be any man of the house of Israel, or of the strangers in Israel, that offereth his oblation, be it for any manner of vows, or for any manner of freewill-offerings, which they may offer unto the Lord for a burnt-offering:
19 asengeli kobonza nyama ya mobali oyo ezangi mbeba kati na bangombe, bameme to bantaba mpo ete Nzambe andima yango.
Then shall it be, that it may be favorably received for you, a male without blemish, of the oxen, of the sheep, or of the goats.
20 Asengeli te kobonza nyama oyo ezali na mbeba, pamba te ekondimama te.
Whatsoever on which there is a blemish shall ye not offer; for it will not be favorably received for you.
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.
And when a man offereth a sacrifice of peace-offering unto the Lord as a vow, or a freewill-offering of the herds or of the flocks: it shall be without blemish to be favorably received; no kind of bodily defect shall be thereon.
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.
A blind, or broken-limbed, or maimed animal, or one having a wen, or itch, or scurvy, —ye shall not offer these unto the Lord, and a fire-offering shall ye not make of them upon the altar unto the Lord.
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.
And an ox or a lamb that hath a limb too long or too short, that mayest thou offer for a freewill-offering; but for a vow it shall not be favorably received.
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.
And one that is bruised, or crushed, or broken, or cut in the testicles, shall ye not offer unto the Lord; and in your land shall ye not make the like.
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. › »
And from a stranger's hand shall ye not offer the bread of your God from any of these; because their corruption is on them, a bodily defect is on them: they shall not be favorably received for you.
26 Yawe alobaki na Moyize:
And the Lord spoke unto 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, then shall it remain seven days by its mother; and from the eighth day and thenceforth shall it be favorably received for an offering made by fire unto the Lord.
28 Bokoki te kokata kingo ya ngombe ya mwasi to ya meme ya mwasi mokolo moko na mwana na yango.
And whether it be ox or sheep, ye shall not kill it and its young both in one day.
29 Tango bokobonza mbeka ya kozongisa matondi epai na Yawe, bobonza yango na lolenge oyo ekosala ete Nzambe andima bino.
And when ye offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving unto the Lord, offer it so that it may be favorably received of you.
30 Esengeli bolia yango kaka mokolo wana. Bokotika eloko moko te kino na tongo. Nazali Yawe.
On the same day shall it be eaten up; ye shall leave none of it until the morning: I am the Lord.
31 Bobatela mitindo na Ngai mpe bosalela yango. Nazali Yawe.
And ye shall 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.
And ye shall not profane my holy name; so that I may be sanctified among 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. »
That brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be unto you a God: I am the Lord.
