Levitike 23
1 Yawe alobaki na Moyize:
And the Lord said to Moses,
2 « Yebisa bana ya Isalaele: ‹ Tango bokobanda kosangana mpo na kosala bafeti mpo na lokumu na Ngai, bokobanda kobengisa bato mpo na kogumbamela Ngai Yawe, pamba te ezali mayangani ya bule.
Say to the children of Israel, These are the fixed feasts of the Lord, which you will keep for holy meetings: these are my feasts.
3 Bokosala mikolo motoba, kasi mokolo ya sambo ezali Saba, mokolo ya kopema; mokolo ya mayangani ya bule. Na esika nyonso oyo bokozala, bokosala ata mosala moko te: ezali mokolo ya Saba ya Yawe.
On six days work may be done; but the seventh day is a special day of rest, a time for worship; you may do no sort of work: it is a Sabbath to the Lord wherever you may be living.
4 Tala bafeti mosusu ya Yawe, mayangani ya bule oyo bokobengisela bato na mikolo oyo ekatama mpo na kopesa Ngai lokumu.
These are the fixed feasts of the Lord, the holy days of worship which you will keep at their regular times.
5 Pasika ya Yawe ekobanda na pokwa ya mokolo ya zomi na minei ya sanza ya liboso.
In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month at nightfall, is the Lord's Passover;
6 Na mokolo ya zomi na mitano ya sanza wana nde feti ya Mapa ezanga levire mpo na Yawe ekobanda. Bokolia mapa ezanga levire mikolo sambo.
And on the fifteenth day of the same month is the feast of unleavened bread; for seven days let your food be unleavened bread.
7 Na mokolo ya liboso, bokozala na mayangani ya bule; bokosala mosala moko te oyo bosalaka mokolo na mokolo.
On the first day you will have a holy meeting; you may do no sort of field-work.
8 Mikolo sambo, bokobonzela Yawe makabo bazikisa na moto. Mpe na mokolo oyo ya sambo, bokozala na mayangani ya bule; bokosala mosala moko te oyo bosalaka mokolo na mokolo. › »
And every day for seven days you will give a burned offering to the Lord; and on the seventh day there will be a holy meeting; you may do no field-work.
9 Yawe alobaki na Moyize:
And the Lord said to Moses,
10 « Yebisa bana ya Isalaele: ‹ Tango bokokota na mokili oyo nakopesa bino mpe tango bokobuka bambuma kati na mokili yango, bokomema epai ya Nganga-Nzambe liboke ya liboso ya bambuma oyo bokobuka.
Say to the children of Israel, When you have come to the land which I will give you, and have got in the grain from its fields, take some of the first-fruits of the grain to the priest;
11 Na mokolo oyo ekolanda Saba, Nganga-Nzambe akobonza liboke yango na kotombola liboso ya Yawe mpo ete Ngai nandima yango.
And let the grain be waved before the Lord, so that you may be pleasing to him; on the day after the Sabbath let it be waved by the priest.
12 Na mokolo yango, bakobonza liboke yango na kotombola, bokobonzela Yawe mwana meme ya mobu moko mpe ezanga mbeba lokola mbeka ya kotumba.
And on the day of the waving of the grain, you are to give a male lamb of the first year, without any mark, for a burned offering to the Lord.
13 Bokobakisa bakilo motoba ya farine basangisa na mafuta lokola likabo bazikisa na moto mpo na Yawe, oyo solo kitoko na yango ekosepelisa Yawe, mpe bokobakisa lisusu litele moko na ndambo ya vino lokola likabo na yango ya masanga.
And let the meal offering with it be two tenth parts of an ephah of the best meal mixed with oil, an offering made by fire to the Lord for a sweet smell; and the drink offering with it is to be of wine, the fourth part of a hin.
14 Bokoki kolia ata lipa moko te, ezala bambuma bakalinga to bambuma ya sika, kino na mokolo oyo bokobonza likabo yango epai ya Nzambe na bino. Oyo mpe ezali mobeko ya libela mpo na milongo ya bakitani na bino oyo bakoya sima na bino na bisika nyonso oyo bokozala.
And you may take no bread or dry grain or new grain for food till the very day on which you have given the offering for your God: this is a rule for ever through all your generations wherever you are living.
15 Bosengeli kotanga baposo sambo, kobanda na mokolo oyo elandi mokolo ya Saba, mokolo oyo bokomema liboke ya bambuma mpo ete batombola yango; baposo nyonso sambo esengeli kozala ya kokoka.
And let seven full weeks be numbered from the day after the Sabbath, the day when you give the grain for the wave offering;
16 Bokotanga mikolo tuku mitano kino na mokolo oyo ekolanda mokolo ya Saba. Na mokolo wana ya Saba, bokobonza epai na Yawe likabo ya bambuma ya sika.
Let fifty days be numbered, to the day after the seventh Sabbath; then you are to give a new meal offering to the Lord.
17 Bokomema, wuta na bisika nyonso oyo bokozala, mapa mibale mpo na kobonza yango na kotombola; bakosala moko na moko kati na yango na bakilo motoba ya farine basangisa na levire mpe batumba na moto. Ekozala likabo ya bambuma na bino ya liboso mpo na Yawe.
Take from your houses two cakes of bread, made of a fifth part of an ephah of the best meal, cooked with leaven, to be waved for first-fruits to the Lord.
18 Elongo na mapa wana, bokobonza lokola mbeka ya kotumba: bana meme sambo ya mibali ya mobu moko mpe ezanga mbeba, ngombe moko ya mobali mpe bameme mibale ya mibali. Bokobonza yango mpo na Yawe, elongo na makabo na yango ya bambuma mpe ya masanga, lokola likabo bazikisa na moto, oyo solo kitoko na yango ekosepelisa Yawe.
And with the bread, take seven lambs of the first year, without any marks, and one ox and two male sheep, to be a burned offering to the Lord, with their meal offering and their drink offerings, an offering of a sweet smell made by fire to the Lord.
19 Bokobonzela Ngai lisusu ntaba moko ya mobali lokola mbeka mpo na masumu mpe bana meme mibale ya mobu moko lokola mbeka ya boyokani.
And you are to give one male goat for a sin-offering and two male lambs of the first year for peace-offerings.
20 Nganga-Nzambe akobonza na kotombola, liboso ya Yawe, bana meme yango mibale elongo na mapa ya bambuma ya liboso. Ekozala makabo ya bule mpo na Ngai Yawe mpe ekozala ya Nganga-Nzambe.
And these will be waved by the priest, with the bread of the first-fruits, for a wave offering to the Lord, with the two lambs: they will be holy to the Lord for the priest.
21 Kaka na mokolo wana, bokobengisa bato na mayangani mpo na lokumu na Ngai. Ekozala mayangani ya bule, mpe bokosala mosala moko te oyo bosalaka mokolo na mokolo. Na bisika nyonso oyo bokovanda, ekozala mitindo ya libela mpo na milongo ya bakitani na bino oyo bakoya sima na bino.
And on the same day, let it be given out that there will be a holy meeting for you: you may do no field-work on that day: it is a rule for ever through all your generations wherever you are living.
22 Tango bokobuka bambuma na mboka na bino, bobuka te kino na bandelo ya bilanga na bino mpe bolokota te oyo ekobanda kokweya. Botika yango mpo na mobola to mopaya. Nazali Yawe, Nzambe na bino. › »
And when you get in the grain from your land, do not let all the grain at the edges of the field be cut, and do not take up the grain which has been dropped in the field; let that be for the poor, and for the man from another country: I am the Lord your God.
23 Yawe alobaki na Moyize:
And the Lord said to Moses,
24 « Yebisa bana ya Isalaele: ‹ Mokolo ya liboso ya sanza ya sambo ekozala mpo na bino mokolo ya kopema, mokolo ya ekaniseli mpe ya kobeta kelelo, mokolo ya mayangani ya bule mpo na lokumu na Ngai.
Say to the children of Israel, In the seventh month, on the first day of the month, let there be a special day of rest for you, a day of memory, marked by the blowing of horns, a meeting for worship.
25 Bokosala mosala moko te oyo bomesana kosala, kasi bokobonzela Yawe makabo bazikisa na moto. › »
Do no field-work and give to the Lord an offering made by fire.
26 Yawe alobaki na Moyize:
And the Lord said to Moses,
27 « Mokolo ya zomi ya sanza ya sambo ezali mokolo ya bolimbisi masumu. Bokozala na mayangani ya bule mpo na lokumu na Ngai; bokomikitisa mpe bokobonzela Yawe makabo bazikisa na moto.
The tenth day of this seventh month is the day for the taking away of sin; let it be a holy day of worship; you are to keep from pleasure, and give to the Lord an offering made by fire.
28 Bokosala mosala moko te na mokolo wana, pamba te ezali mokolo ya kosala mosala ya bolimbisi masumu liboso na Ngai Yawe, Nzambe na bino.
And on that day you may do no sort of work, for it is a day of taking away sin, to make you clean before the Lord your God.
29 Moto nyonso oyo akokila bilei te na mokolo wana, bakolongola ye kati na bato na ye.
For any person, whoever he may be, who takes his pleasure on that day will be cut off from his people.
30 Nakoboma moto nyonso oyo akosala mosala na mokolo wana.
And if any person, whoever he may be, on that day does any sort of work, I will send destruction on him from among his people.
31 Bokoki kosala ata mosala moko te. Na bisika nyonso oyo bokozala, oyo nde ekozala mobeko ya libela mpo na milongo ya bakitani na bino oyo bakoya sima na bino.
You may not do any sort of work: this is an order for ever through all your generations wherever you may be living.
32 Ekozala mpo na bino mokolo ya kopema lokola mokolo ya Saba, mokolo ya komikitisa. Bokobatela mokolo na bino ya Saba, kobanda na pokwa ya mokolo ya libwa kino na pokwa ya mokolo oyo ekolanda. »
Let this be a Sabbath of special rest to you, and keep yourselves from all pleasure; on the ninth day of the month at nightfall from evening to evening, let this Sabbath be kept.
33 Yawe alobaki na Moyize:
And the Lord said to Moses,
34 « Yebisa bana ya Isalaele: ‹ Na mokolo ya zomi na mitano ya sanza ya sambo, feti ya Bandako ya kapo esengeli kobanda, mpe bakosepela yango mikolo sambo mpo na lokumu ya Yawe.
Say to the children of Israel, On the fifteenth day of this seventh month let the feast of tents be kept to the Lord for seven days.
35 Mokolo ya liboso ekozala mokolo ya mayangani ya bule mpo na lokumu na Ngai Yawe; bokosala mosala moko te oyo bomesana kosala mokolo na mokolo.
On the first day there will be a holy meeting: do no field-work.
36 Mikolo sambo, bokobonzela Yawe makabo bazikisa na moto. Na mokolo ya mwambe, bokozala na mayangani ya bule mpo na lokumu na Ngai Yawe, mpe bokobonza makabo bazikisa na moto. Ekozala mokolo ya suka ya mayangani; bokosala mosala moko te oyo bomesana kosala.
Every day for seven days give an offering made by fire to the Lord; and on the eighth day there is to be a holy meeting, when you are to give an offering made by fire to the Lord; this is a special holy day: you may do no field-work on that day.
37 Oyo nde bafeti oyo bokobanda kosala mpo na lokumu ya Yawe, mpe oyo bokobanda kobengisela bato na mayangani ya bule mpo ete basambela Yawe mpe babonzela Ye makabo bazikisa na moto, bambeka ya kotumba mpe makabo ya bagato, bambeka mpe bambeka ya masanga ya vino, kolanda ndenge ekatama mpo na mokolo na mokolo.
These are the fixed feasts of the Lord, to be kept by you as holy days of worship, for making an offering by fire to the Lord; a burned offering, a meal offering, an offering of beasts, and drink offerings; every one on its special day;
38 Bokobakisa makabo oyo na likolo ya makabo oyo bokobonzela Ngai na mikolo ya Saba ya Yawe, na likolo ya bakado na bino, na likolo ya makabo na bino mpo na kokokisa ndayi to na likolo ya makabo oyo bokokata kopesa wuta na mokano ya mitema na bino moko.
In addition to the Sabbaths of the Lord, and in addition to the things you give and the oaths you make and the free offerings to the Lord.
39 Kasi na mokolo ya zomi na mitano ya sanza ya sambo, sima na kobuka bambuma ya mabele, bokosala feti mpo na Yawe, mikolo sambo. Mokolo ya liboso mpe mokolo ya mwambe ekozala mikolo ya kopema.
But on the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when you have got in all the fruits of the land, you will keep the feast of the Lord for seven days: the first day will be a Sabbath, and the eighth day the same.
40 Na mokolo ya liboso, bokopona bambuma ya banzete, mandalala ya banzete ya mbila, bitape ya banzete oyo ezali na makasa ebele mpe banzete oyo babengaka sole mpe ebotaka pembeni ya mayi. Bokosepela liboso ya Yawe, Nzambe na bino, mikolo sambo.
On the first day, take the fruit of fair trees, branches of palm-trees, and branches of thick trees and trees from the riverside, and be glad before the Lord for seven days.
41 Na mikolo sambo, bokobanda kosala feti oyo mibu nyonso mpo na lokumu na Yawe. Oyo ezali mobeko ya libela mpo na milongo ya bakitani oyo bakoya sima na bino; bokosala feti yango na sanza ya sambo.
And let this feast be kept before the Lord for seven days in the year: it is a rule for ever from generation to generation; in the seventh month let it be kept.
42 Bokovanda na bandako ya matiti mikolo sambo; bato nyonso oyo bazali bana mboka ya Isalaele bakovanda kati na bandako yango ya matiti
For seven days you will be living in tents; all those who are Israelites by birth are to make tents their living-places:
43 mpo ete bakitani na bino bayeba ete navandisaki bana ya Isalaele na bandako ya matiti tango nabimisaki bango na Ejipito. Nazali Yawe, Nzambe na bino. › »
So that future generations may keep in mind how I gave the children of Israel tents as their living-places when I took them out of the land of Egypt: I am the Lord your God.
44 Moyize ayebisaki bana ya Isalaele malako nyonso oyo etali bafeti ya Yawe.
And Moses made clear to the children of Israel the orders about the fixed feasts of the Lord.
