Levitike 27
1 Yawe alobaki na Moyize:
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
2 « Yebisa bana ya Isalaele mpe loba na bango: ‹ Soki moko kati na bino alapi ndayi ya kopesa moto lokola likabo epai na Yawe, asengeli kopesa motuya oyo ekokani na lolenge ya moto na moto.
Speak to the children of Israel, and thou shalt say to them: The man that shall have made a vow, and promised his soul to God, shall give the price according to estimation.
3 Tala motuya ya kopesa kolanda ndenge batangaka mbongo ya bibende kati na Mongombo: mpo na moto oyo mibu na ye ya mbotama ezali kati na mibu tuku mibale mpe tuku motoba, bagrame nkama motoba ya palata mpo na mobali;
If it be a man from twenty years old unto sixty years old, he shall give fifty sides of silver, after the weight of the sanctuary:
4 bagrame nkama misato na tuku motoba ya palata mpo na mwasi;
If a woman, thirty.
5 mpo na moto oyo mibu na ye ya mbotama ezali kati na mibu mitano mpe tuku mibale, bagrame nkama mibale na tuku minei ya palata mpo na mobali, mpe bagrame nkama moko na tuku mibale ya palata mpo na mwasi;
But from the fifth year until the twentieth, a man shall give twenty sicles: a woman ten.
6 mpo na moto oyo mikolo ya mbotama na ye ya mbotama ezali kati na sanza moko mpe mibu mitano, bagrame tuku motoba ya palata mpo na mobali, mpe bagrame tuku misato na motoba ya palata mpo na mwasi;
From one month until the fifth year. for a male shall be given five sides: for a female three.
7 mpo na moto oyo mibu na ye ya mbotama ezali kobanda na tuku motoba mpe komata, bagrame nkama moko na tuku mwambe ya palata mpo na mobali, mpe bagrame nkama moko na tuku mibale ya palata mpo na mwasi.
A man that is sixty years old or upward, shall give fifteen aisles: a woman ten.
8 Soki moto oyo alapi ndayi azali mobola to azali na makoki te ya kopesa motuya oyo ekatama, akomema epai ya Nganga-Nzambe moto oyo ye alapelaki ndayi ya kopesa lokola likabo. Boye Nganga-Nzambe akokata motuya ya kopesa kolanda makoki ya moto oyo alapi ndayi.
If he be poor, and not able to pay tile estimation, he shall stand before tile priest: and as much as he shall value him at, and see him able to pay, so much shall he give.
9 Soki moko kati na bino alapi ndayi ya kopesa lokola likabo epai na Yawe nyama oyo esengeli, nyama yango ekokoma bule;
But a beast that may be sacrificed to the Lord, if ally one shall vow, shall be holy,
10 asengeli te kobongola to kopesa nyama mosusu na esika ya nyama ya liboso, noki te banyama nyonso mibale ekokoma bule.
And cannot be changed, that is to say, neither a better for a worse, nor a worse for a better. And if he shall change it: both that which was changed, and that for which it was changed, shall be consecrated to the Lord.
11 Soki nyama oyo alapelaki ndayi ezali mbindo, nyama oyo esengeli te kopesama lokola likabo epai na Yawe, bakomema nyama yango liboso ya Nganga-Nzambe
An unclean beast, which cannot be sacrificed to the Lord, if my man shall vow, shall be brought before the priest:
12 oyo akotala soki nyama yango ezali malamu to mabe. Motuya nyonso oyo Nganga-nzambe akokata, ekotikala bongo.
Who judging whether it be good or bad, shall set the price:
13 Soki mokolo nyama alingi kosikola yango, asengeli kobakisa eteni moko kati na biteni mitano ya motuya na yango.
Which if he that offereth it will give, he shall add above the estimation the fifth part.
14 Soki moto abulisi ndako na ye lokola eloko oyo ebulisami mpo na Yawe, Nganga-Nzambe akokata motuya na yango kolanda ndenge ndako yango ezali malamu to mabe. Motuya nyonso oyo Nganga-Nzambe akokata, ekotikala bongo.
If a man shall vow his house, and sanctify it to the Lord, the priest shall consider it, whether it be good or bad, and it shall be sold according to the price, which he shall appoint.
15 Soki moto oyo abulisi ndako na ye lokola likabo epai na Yawe alingi kosikola yango, asengeli kobakisa eteni moko kati na biteni mitano ya motuya na yango; mpe ndako yango ekokoma lisusu ya ye.
But if he that vowed, will redeem it, he shall give the fifth part of the estimation over and above, and shall have the house.
16 Soki moto abulisi mpo na Yawe eteni ya mabele kati na mabele na ye, bakokata motuya ya eteni ya mabele yango kolanda milona oyo bakoki kolona kuna: bagrame nkama motoba ya palata mpo na bakilo nkama minei ya bambuma ya orje.
And if he vow the field of his possession, and consecrate it to the Lord, the price shall be rated according to the measure of the seed. If the ground be sowed with thirty bushels of barley, let it be sold for fifty sides of silver.
17 Soki abulisi elanga na ye, na mobu ya kosepela kokangolama, motuya oyo bakata ekotikala bongo.
If he vow his field immediately from the year of jubilee that is beginning, as much as it may be worth, at so much it shall be rated.
18 Kasi soki abulisi elanga na ye epai na Yawe sima na mobu ya kosepela kokangolama, Nganga-Nzambe akokata motuya na yango kolanda motango ya mibu oyo etikali kino na mobu oyo ekolanda, mobu ya kosepela kokangolama. Boye bakokitisa motuya oyo ekatama.
But if some time after, the priest shall reckon the money according to the number of years that remain until the jubilee, and the price shall be abated.
19 Soki moto oyo abulisi elanga alingi kosikola yango, akobakisa eteni moko kati na biteni mitano ya motuya oyo ekatama; boye elanga yango ekokoma lisusu ya ye.
And if he that had vowed, will redeem his field, he shall add the fifth part of the money of the estimation, and shall possess it.
20 Kasi soki asikoli yango te, bongo bateki yango epai ya moto mosusu, akoki lisusu kosikola yango te.
And if he will not redeem it, but it be sold to any other man, he that vowed it, may not redeem it any more:
21 Soki elanga esikolami na mobu ya kosepela kokangolama, ekokoma bule lokola elanga oyo babulisi mpo na Yawe: ekozala mabele ya Banganga-Nzambe.
For when the day of jubilee cometh, it shall be sanctified to the Lord, and as a possession consecrated, pertaineth to the right of the priests.
22 Soki moto abulisi epai na Yawe elanga oyo asombaki, nzokande ezali mabele ya libota na bango te,
If a field that was bought, and not of a man’s ancestors’ possession, be sanctified to the Lord,
23 Nganga-Nzambe akokata motuya na yango kolanda mibu oyo etikali kino na mobu ya kosepela kokangolama; kaka na mokolo oyo Nganga-Nzambe akokata motuya na yango nde moto yango akopesa motuya na yango lokola eloko ya bule epai na Yawe.
The priest shall reckon the price according to the number of years: unto the jubilee: and he that had vowed, shall give that to the Lord.
24 Na mobu ya kosepela kokangolama, elanga yango ekozonga na maboko ya moto oyo atekaki yango: mokolo mabele.
But in the jubilee, it shall return to the former owner, who had sold it, and had it in the lot of his possession.
25 Mituya nyonso ekokatama ndenge batangaka mbongo ya bibende kati na Mongombo. Mbongo moko ya ebende esengeli kozala na bagrame zomi na mibale.
All estimation shall be made according to the side of the sanctuary. A sicle hath twenty obols.
26 Moto moko te akoki kobulisa mwana liboso ya nyama na ye, pamba te mwana ya liboso ezali ya Yawe; ezala ya ngombe, ya meme to ya ntaba.
The firstborn, which belong to the Lord, no man may sanctify and vow: whether it be bullock, or sheep, they are the Lord’s.
27 Soki ezali mwana liboso ya nyama moko ya mbindo, mokolo nyama yango akoki kosikola yango na kobakisa eteni moko kati na biteni mitano ya motuya na yango; kasi soki asikoli yango te, bakoteka yango na motuya oyo ekatama.
And if it be an unclean beast, he that offereth it shall redeem it, according to thy estimation, and shall add the fifth part of the price. If he will not redeem it, it shall be sold to another for how much soever it was estimated by thee.
28 Nyonso oyo moto akopesa epai na Yawe lokola likabo ekoki kotekama te to kosikolama; ezala moto, nyama to mabele, pamba te nyonso oyo epesami epai na Yawe ezali bule mpo na Yawe.
Any thing that is devoted to the Lord, whether it be man, or beast, or field, shall not be sold, neither may it be redeemed. Whatsoever is once consecrated shall be holy of holies to the Lord.
29 Moto moko te oyo abongisami mpo na kobebisama akoki kosikolama, basengeli koboma ye.
And any consecration that is offered by man, shall not be redeemed, but dying shall die.
30 Eteni nyonso ya zomi ya biloko nyonso oyo ekowuta na mabele, ezala bambuma ya bilanga to bambuma ya banzete, ezali ya Yawe: ezali bule mpo na Yawe.
All tithes of the land, whether of corn, or of the fruits of trees, are the Lord’s, and are sanctified to him.
31 Soki moto alingi kosikola eteni na ye ya zomi, asengeli kobakisa eteni moko kati na biteni mitano ya motuya na yango.
And if any man will redeem his tithes, he shall add the fifth part of them.
32 Eteni nyonso ya zomi; ezala ya ngombe, ya meme to ya ntaba, elingi koloba nyama nyonso ya zomi oyo ekoleka na se ya lingenda ya mobateli bibwele, ekozala bule mpo na Yawe;
Of all the tithes of oxen, and sheep, and goats, that pass under the shepherd’s rod, every tenth that cometh shall be sanctified to the Lord.
33 ezala ya malamu to ya mabe, akoki te kopona nyama mosusu na esika ya nyama oyo ya zomi. Soki atie nyama moko na esika ya nyama mosusu, nyonso mibale ekokoma bule mpo na Yawe; mpe ekoki kosikolama te. › »
It shall not be chosen neither good nor bad, neither shall it be changed for another. If any man change it: both that which was changed, and that for which it was changed, shall be sanctified to the Lord, and shall not be redeemed.
34 Oyo nde mitindo oyo Yawe apesaki Moyize, na ngomba Sinai, mpo na bana ya Isalaele.
These are the precepts which the Lord commanded Moses for the children of Israel in mount Sinai.
