Levitike 23
1 Yawe alobaki na Moyize:
And Yahweh spake unto Moses, saying:
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.
Speak unto the sons of Israel and thou shalt say unto them, As for the appointed seasons of Yahweh, which ye shall proclaim as holy convocations, these, are they—my appointed seasons: —
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.
Six days, shall work be done, but, on the seventh day, shall there be a sabbath of sacred rest a holy convocation, no work, shall ye do, —a sabbath, shall it be unto Yahweh, in all your dwellings.
4 Tala bafeti mosusu ya Yawe, mayangani ya bule oyo bokobengisela bato na mikolo oyo ekatama mpo na kopesa Ngai lokumu.
These, are the appointed seasons of Yahweh, holy convocations, —which ye shall proclaim in their appointed season: —
5 Pasika ya Yawe ekobanda na pokwa ya mokolo ya zomi na minei ya sanza ya liboso.
In the first month, on the fourteenth of the month, between the evenings, is a Passover unto Yahweh;
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 this month, is the festival of unleavened cakes unto Yahweh, —seven days—unleavened cakes, shall ye eat.
7 Na mokolo ya liboso, bokozala na mayangani ya bule; bokosala mosala moko te oyo bosalaka mokolo na mokolo.
On the first day—a holy convocation, shall there be to you: no laborious work, shall ye do.
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. › »
So then ye shall bring near an altar-flame unto Yahweh, seven days, —on the seventh day, [shall there be] a holy convocation, no laborious work, shall ye do.
9 Yawe alobaki na Moyize:
And Yahweh spake unto Moses saying:
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.
Speak unto the sons of Israel, and thou shalt say unto them: —When ye enter into the land which, I, am giving you, and ye reap the harvest thereof, then shall ye bring in a sheaf of the first-ripe corn of your harvest, unto the priest;
11 Na mokolo oyo ekolanda Saba, Nganga-Nzambe akobonza liboke yango na kotombola liboso ya Yawe mpo ete Ngai nandima yango.
and he shall wave the sheaf before Yahweh, that ye may be accepted, —on the morrow of the sabbath, shall the priest wave it.
12 Na mokolo yango, bakobonza liboke yango na kotombola, bokobonzela Yawe mwana meme ya mobu moko mpe ezanga mbeba lokola mbeka ya kotumba.
And ye shall offer on the day when ye wave the sheaf, a he-lamb without defect, the finest of its year for an ascending-sacrifice unto Yahweh;
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 the, meal-offering thereof shall be two-tenth parts of fine meal overflowed with oil, as an altar-flame unto Yahweh a satisfying odour, —and, the drink-offering thereof, [shall be] mine, the fourth 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 neither bread, nor roasted corn, nor garden-land grain, shall ye eat, until this selfsame day, until ye have brought in the oblation of your God, —an age-abiding statute unto your generations, in all your dwellings.
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.
Then shall ye keep count to yourselves from the morrow of the sabbath, from the day ye brought in the wave sheaf, —seven sabbaths complete, shall there be:
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.
until on the morrow of the seventh sabbath, ye count fifty days, —then shall ye bring near a new meal-offering unto Yahweh.
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.
Out of your dwellings, shall ye bring in two wave loaves of two-tenths of an ephah, of fine meal, shall they be, with leaven, shall they be baked, —first-fruits unto Yahweh.
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.
Then shall ye bring near with the bread seven he-lambs without defect of the first year, and one young bullock, and two rams, —they shall be an ascending-sacrifice unto Yahweh, with their meal-offering, and their drink-offerings, an altar-flame of satisfying odour unto Yahweh.
19 Bokobonzela Ngai lisusu ntaba moko ya mobali lokola mbeka mpo na masumu mpe bana meme mibale ya mobu moko lokola mbeka ya boyokani.
Then shall ye offer one he-goat, as a sin-bearer, —and two he-lambs, of the first year, as a peace-offering.
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 the priest shall wave them, with the firstfruits’ bread, as a wave-offering before Yahweh, with the two he-lambs, —holy, shall they be unto Yahweh, 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 ye shall make proclamation on this self-same day—a holy convocation, shall it be unto you; no laborious work, shall ye do, —an age-abiding statute in all your dwellings, unto your generations.
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 ye reap the harvest of your land, thou shalt not wholly clear the border of thy field when thou reapest, and, the gleanings of thy field, shalt thou not glean, —for the poor and for the sojourner, shalt thou leave them. I—Yahweh, am your God.
23 Yawe alobaki na Moyize:
And Yahweh spake unto Moses, saying:
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.
Speak unto the sons of Israel, saying: —In the seventh month on the first of the month, shall there be unto you a sacred rest, a trumpet-blowing commemoration a holy convocation:
25 Bokosala mosala moko te oyo bomesana kosala, kasi bokobonzela Yawe makabo bazikisa na moto. › »
no laborious work, shall ye do, —but ye shall bring near an altar-flame unto Yahweh.
26 Yawe alobaki na Moyize:
And Yahweh spake unto Moses, saying,
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.
Surely on the tenth of this seventh month, is, the Day of Propitiation, a holy convocation, shall it be to you, therefore shall ye humble your souls, —and bring near an altar-flame unto Yahweh.
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, no work, shall ye do, on this selfsame day, —for a day of propitiation, it is, to put a propitiatory-covering over you before Yahweh your God.
29 Moto nyonso oyo akokila bilei te na mokolo wana, bakolongola ye kati na bato na ye.
For, whosoever be the person that shall not be humbled on this selfsame day, then shall he be cut off from among his kinsfolk.
30 Nakoboma moto nyonso oyo akosala mosala na mokolo wana.
And, whosoever be the person that shall do any work on this selfsame day, then will I destroy that person from the midst of 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.
No work, shall ye do, —an age-abiding statute to your generations, in all your dwellings.
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. »
A sabbath of sacred rest, shall it be unto you, so shall ye humble your souls, —on the ninth of the month in the evening, from evening to evening, shall ye keep your sabbath.
33 Yawe alobaki na Moyize:
And Yahweh spake unto Moses, saying:
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.
Speak unto the sons of Israel, saying: —On the fifteenth day of this seventh month, shall be the festival of booths, for seven days, unto Yahweh.
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, [shall be] a holy convocation, —no laborious work, shall ye do.
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.
Seven days, shall ye bring near an altar-flame unto Yahweh: on the eighth day—a holy convocation, shall there be unto you so shall ye bring near an altar-flame unto Yahweh—the closing of the feast, it is, no laborious work, shall ye do.
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 appointed seasons of Yahweh, which ye shall proclaim, as holy convocations, —for bringing near as an altar-flame unto Yahweh, an ascending-sacrifice, and a meal-offering, a sacrifice and a drink-offering, each day’s appointment on its own 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.
besides the sabbaths of Yahweh, and besides your presents, and besides all your vows, and besides all your freewill offerings which ye shall give unto Yahweh.
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.
Surely, on the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when ye have gathered in the yield of the land, shall ye celebrate the festival of Yahweh seven days, —on the first day, a sacred rest, and, on the eighth day, a sacred rest.
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.
So then ye shall take you, on the first day, boughs of goodly trees, branches, of palm-trees, and boughs of thick trees, and poplars of the ravine, —and shall rejoice before Yahweh your God, 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.
So shall ye celebrate it as a festival unto Yahweh, seven days in the year, —a statute age-abiding, to your generations. In the seventh month, shall ye celebrate it;
42 Bokovanda na bandako ya matiti mikolo sambo; bato nyonso oyo bazali bana mboka ya Isalaele bakovanda kati na bandako yango ya matiti
In booths, shall ye dwell seven days; —All the home-born in Israel, shall dwell in booths:
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. › »
To the end that your generations may know, that, in booths, made I the sons of Israel to dwell, when I brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, —I—Yahweh, am your God.
44 Moyize ayebisaki bana ya Isalaele malako nyonso oyo etali bafeti ya Yawe.
So then Moses declared, the appointed seasons of Yahweh, unto the sons of Israel.
