Levitike 6
1 Yawe alobaki na Moyize:
Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
2 « Soki moto asali masumu mpe abuki mobeko ya Yawe na kokosa moninga na ye mpo na eloko oyo babombisaki epai na ye to oyo adefaki to oyo ayibaki to oyo abotolaki na makasi
“If any one of you you sins against me by deceiving someone—if you refuse to return what someone has lent you, or if you steal something of his, or if you find something and claim that you do not have it,
3 to atako amoni eloko oyo ebungaki, kasi akosi mpe alapi ndayi ya lokuta na tina na moko kati na masumu oyo moto akoki kosala;
you are guilty. You must return to its owner what you have stolen or what someone has lent you and you have not returned, or what you found that someone else had lost,
4 moto oyo asali masumu ya boye mpe amemi ngambo, akozongisa eloko oyo ayibisaki to oyo abotolaki na makasi to oyo babombisaki epai na ye to oyo amonaki sima na kobungisa yango.
or whatever you lied about.
5 To lisusu, akozongisa eloko nyonso oyo na tina na yango ye alapaki ndayi ya lokuta mpe akobakisa eteni moko kati na biteni mitano. Akozongisa yango na nkolo eloko na mokolo oyo akobonza mbeka na ye mpo na masumu.
You must not only return anything like that to its owner, but you must also pay to the owner one-fifth of its value.
6 Mpe akomema epai ya Nganga-Nzambe mbeka na ye mpo na kozongisa boyokani elongo na Yawe. Akomema meme ya mobali oyo ezanga mbeba; akozwa yango kati na bameme mpe bantaba na ye kolanda ndenge okokata.
You must also bring to the Supreme Priest a ram to be an offering to me in order that you will no longer be guilty. The ram that you bring must be one that has no defects, one that has the value that has been officially determined.
7 Nganga-Nzambe akosala mpo na moto wana, liboso ya Yawe, mosala ya bolimbisi masumu; mpe moto yango akolimbisama. »
Then he will offer that ram to be a sacrifice that will cause you to no longer be guilty, and you will be forgiven for the wrong things that you did.”
8 Yawe alobaki na Moyize:
Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
9 « Pesa mitindo oyo epai ya Aron mpe epai ya bana na ye ya mibali: ‹ Tala mobeko mpo na mbeka ya kotumba: mbeka ya kotumba ekowumela na likolo ya motalaka ya etumbelo butu mobimba kino na tongo, mpe moto ya etumbelo ekozikisa yango.
“Tell this to Aaron and his sons: These are the regulations concerning the offerings that will be completely burned [on the altar]: The offering must remain on the altar all during the night, and the fire on the altar must always be kept burning.
10 Nganga-Nzambe akolata nzambala na ye ya lino mpe bakaputula na ye ya lino. Akolongola putulu ya mbeka ya kotumba oyo moto ezikisaki na etumbelo mpe akotia yango na mopanzi ya etumbelo.
[The next morning] the priest must put on his linen under-clothes and linen outer clothes. Then he must remove the ashes of the offering from the fire and put them beside the altar.
11 Sima, akolongola bilamba wana mpe akolata bilamba mosusu; bongo akomema putulu na libanda ya molako, na esika ya peto.
Then he must take off those clothes and put on other clothes, and take the ashes outside the camp, to a place that is acceptable to me.
12 Moto ya etumbelo ekobanda kopela tango nyonso mpe ekoki kokufa te. Nganga-Nzambe akobanda kobakisa tongo nyonso bakoni mpe kotia mbeka ya kotumba na likolo ya bakoni; bongo akotumba biteni ya mafuta ya mbeka ya boyokani na likolo na yango.
The fire on the altar must always be kept burning; the priest must not allow it to (go out/quit burning). Each morning the priest must put more firewood on the fire. Then he must arrange more offerings on the fire, and burn on the altar the fat of the offerings to be burned to maintain fellowship [with me].
13 Moto esengeli kopela tango nyonso na etumbelo, ekoki kokufa te. ›
The fire on the altar must be kept burning continually; the priest must not allow it to go out.”
14 ‹ Tala mobeko mpo na likabo ya gato: ‘Bana mibali ya Aron bakomema yango liboso ya Yawe, liboso ya etumbelo.
“These are the regulations concerning the offerings made from grain: Aaron’s sons must bring them to me in front of the altar.
15 Nganga-Nzambe akozwa na loboko na ye ndambo ya farine, mafuta mpe ansa nyonso oyo ezali na likolo ya gato; akotumba yango na likolo ya etumbelo mpo ete solo kitoko na yango esepelisa Yawe mpe ezala ekaniseli mpo na Ye.
The priest must take a handful of fine flour mixed with olive oil and incense and burn that on the altar. That handful will signify that the whole offering truly belongs to me. And the aroma while it burns will be pleasing to me.
16 Ndambo oyo ekotikala, Aron mpe bana na ye ya mibali bakolia yango. Kasi bakolia yango ezanga levire, na Esika ya bule, na libanda ya Ndako ya kapo ya Bokutani.
Aaron and his sons may eat the remaining part of the grain offering. But they must eat it in a holy place, in the courtyard of the Sacred Tent.
17 Bakotumba yango te na levire: ezali eteni oyo napesi bango kati na bambeka na Ngai oyo etumbami na moto: ezali eloko ya bule penza lokola mbeka mpo na masumu mpe mpo na kozongisa boyokani.
It must not have yeast mixed with it. Like the offerings for sin and the offerings to cause people to no longer be guilty of sin, that offering is very holy.
18 Bana mibali nyonso kati na bakitani ya Aron bakolia yango. Ezali eteni na bango mpo na tango nyonso mpe na milongo nyonso kati na makabo bazikisa na moto mpo na Yawe. Bato nyonso oyo bakosimba yango bakokoma bule.’ › »
Any male descendants of Aaron are permitted to eat it, because it is forever their regular share of the offerings given to me and burned in the fire [on the altar]. Anyone else who touches those offerings made from grain will be punished by God.”
19 Yawe alobaki na Moyize:
Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
20 « Tala likabo oyo Aron mpe bana na ye ya mibali bakopesa epai na Yawe, na mokolo oyo bakozwa epakolami: eteni ya zomi ya efa ya farine lokola likabo ya tango nyonso. Na tongo, akopesa eteni moko kati na biteni mibale; mpe eteni mosusu, na pokwa.
“Tell Aaron and his sons that this is the offering that they must bring to Yahweh on the day that any of them (is ordained/becomes a priest): That person must bring two quarts/liters of fine flour as an offering made from grain. He must bring half of it in the morning and half of it in the evening.
21 Okosangisa yango liboso na mafuta, bongo okokalinga yango na kikalungu. Sima okobonza yango na biteni lokola mbeka oyo solo kitoko na yango ekosepelisa Yawe.
He must mix it well with olive oil and bake it in a shallow pan. He must then break it into small pieces to be burned [on the altar]. And the aroma while it burns will be pleasing to Yahweh.
22 Mwana mobali ya Aron oyo bakopakola mafuta mpo na kokitana na Aron lokola Nganga-Nzambe akobonza mpe likabo yango: ezali likabo ya libela mpo na Yawe mpe bakotumba yango mobimba.
I have commanded that the descendants of Aaron who are appointed in turn to become the Supreme Priests after Aaron dies are the ones who must prepare those things. These offerings must be completely burned [on the altar] to be sacrifices to me, Yahweh.
23 Mbeka nyonso oyo Nganga-Nzambe akobonza na mobimba na yango ekoliama te, ezala ata ndambo na yango. »
Every offering that a priest gives that is made from grain must be completely burned; none of it is to be eaten.”
24 Yawe alobaki na Moyize:
Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
25 « Loba na Aron mpe na bana na ye ya mibali: ‹ Tala mobeko ya mbeka mpo na masumu: ‘Bakokata kingo ya mbeka mpo na masumu liboso ya Yawe, na esika oyo bakataka bakingo ya bambeka ya kotumba; ezali mbeka ya bule penza.
“Tell Aaron and his sons: These are the regulations concerning the offerings that people must bring to me so that I will forgive the people for the sins they have committed:
26 Nganga-Nzambe oyo azali kobonza yango mpo na masumu akolia yango na Esika ya bule, na libanda ya Ndako ya kapo ya Bokutani.
The animals must be slaughtered in my presence in the same place that the animals that are to be completely burned [on the altar] are slaughtered, in the courtyard in front of the Sacred Tent.
27 Moto nyonso oyo akosimba mosuni na yango akozala bule. Soki kaka makila ya mbeka yango ezwi elamba na ye, asengeli kosukola esika oyo ezwi makila, na esika moko ya bule.
Any other person who touches any of its meat will be punished by God. And if its blood is splattered on your clothes, you must wash the clothes in a holy place.
28 Bongo soki basaleli nzungu ya mabele mpo na kokalinga mosuni ya mbeka mpo na masumu, bakopanza nzungu yango. Soki bakalingi yango na nzungu ya bronze, bakopalola nzungu yango mpe bakosukola yango na mayi ebele.
If the meat is cooked in a clay pot, the pot must be broken [afterwards]. But if it is cooked in a bronze pot, the pot must be scoured [afterwards] and rinsed with water.
29 Kaka mibali oyo bazali na libota ya Nganga-Nzambe nde bakoki kolia yango, pamba te ezali eloko ya bule penza.
Any male in a priest’s family may eat some of the cooked meat; that meat is very holy.
30 Nzokande, mbeka moko te mpo na masumu ekoki koliama soki bamemi makila na yango na Ndako ya kapo ya Bokutani mpo na kosala mosala ya bolimbisi masumu; esengeli kotumba yango na moto.’ › »
But if the blood of those sin offerings is brought into the Sacred Tent to enable the people to be forgiven for having sinned, the meat of those animals must not be eaten. The meat must be completely burned.”
