Levitike 7
1 « ‹ Tala mobeko ya mbeka mpo na kozongisa boyokani; ezali eloko ya bule penza:
“These are the regulations concerning the offerings to be made by people who are guilty of not giving to me the things that are required to be given to me. Those are very sacred offerings.
2 ‘Bakokata kingo ya mbeka mpo na kozongisa boyokani, na esika oyo bakataka kingo ya bambeka ya kotumba. Bongo bakobwaka makila na yango pembeni-pembeni ya etumbelo.
Each animal that is to be offered by such people must be slaughtered in the same place where the animals that will be completely burned [on the altar] are slaughtered, and their blood must be sprinkled against all sides of the altar.
3 Bakobonza biteni na yango ya mafuta: mokila, mafuta oyo ezipaka biloko ya kati,
All their fat, the fat tails that are cut close to the backbone, and all the fat that covers the inner parts of the animals or which is attached to them, must be burned [on the altar].
4 bambuma mibale oyo ezalaka na kati ya loketo mpe mafuta oyo ezipaka yango, oyo ezali kati na mipanzi mpe loketo. Bakolongola bafwa mpe bambuma mibale wana.
That includes the kidneys with their fat near the lower back muscle, and the protruding lobe that is attached to the liver.
5 Nganga-Nzambe akotumba yango na etumbelo lokola likabo bazikisa na moto mpo na Yawe: ezali mbeka mpo na kozongisa boyokani.
The priest must burn them on the altar to be offerings to me, Yahweh. They are an offering for the people to be forgiven for not doing what they were required to do.
6 Mibali nyonso kati na Banganga-Nzambe bakoki kolia yango. Basengeli kolia yango na Esika ya bule: ezali eloko ya bule penza.
All the males in the priest’s family are permitted to eat its meat, but it must be eaten in a sacred place, because it is very sacred.
7 Mobeko yango ezali kaka moko, ezala mpo na mbeka mpo na kozongisa boyokani to mpo na mbeka ya masumu. Nyama ezali ya Nganga-Nzambe oyo asali mosala ya bolimbisi masumu.
“The regulation is the same for the offerings [to enable people to be forgiven for the sins they have committed] and the offerings for when they are guilty of not giving to me the things that are required to be given to me. The meat of those offerings belongs to the priest who offers them in order that the people will be forgiven.
8 Nganga-Nzambe oyo akobonza mbeka ya kotumba mpo na moto, akozwa poso ya nyama oyo abonzi mpe ekozala ya ye.
The priest who slaughters an animal that will be completely burned on the altar is permitted to keep the animal’s hide for himself.
9 Likabo nyonso ya gato oyo batumbi na fulu ya moto to bakalingi na kikalungu to mpe batumbi na likolo ya manzanza ezali ya Nganga-Nzambe oyo abonzi yango.
Offerings of things made from grain that are baked in an oven or cooked in a pan or (in a shallow pan/on a griddle) belong to the priest who makes those offerings [for another person].
10 Likabo nyonso ya gato oyo basangisi na mafuta to oyo ezali ya kokawuka ekozala ya bana mibali nyonso ya Aron; bakozwa yango ndenge moko.’ ›
And offerings of things made from grain, whether they were mixed with olive oil or not, also belong to the sons of Aaron.”
11 ‹ Tala mibeko mpo na mbeka ya boyokani oyo moto akoki kobonza epai na Yawe:
These are the regulations concerning the offerings that people make to maintain fellowship [with Yahweh]:
12 ‘Soki moto abonzi yango mpo na kozongisa matondi, asengeli kobonza, elongo na mbeka ya kozongisa matondi, likabo ya bagato ezanga levire kasi basangisa na mafuta, bagalete ezanga levire kasi bapakola yango mafuta mpe bagato basala na farine oyo basangisa malamu na mafuta.
“If you bring an offering to thank [Yahweh], along with [the animal that you slaughter] you must offer loaves of bread made with olive oil mixed [with the flour] but without yeast, and wafers that are made without yeast but with olive oil smeared on them, and loaves made from fine flour with olive oil well mixed with the flour.
13 Na likolo ya mbeka na ye ya boyokani oyo abonzi mpo na kozongisa matondi, akobakisa likabo ya bagato oyo esalemi na farine batia levire.
Along with that offering to thank Yahweh, you must bring an offering of loaves made with yeast.
14 Akomema eteni ya likabo moko na moko mpe akobonza yango epai na Yawe: ekozala ya Nganga-Nzambe oyo asopaki makila ya mbeka yango ya boyokani pembeni-pembeni ya etumbelo.
You must bring one of each kind for an offering to Yahweh, but they belong to the priest who sprinkles against the altar the blood of the animal that is [slaughtered as an offering] to maintain fellowship with Yahweh.
15 Mosuni ya mbeka ya boyokani oyo abonzi mpo na kozongisa matondi esengeli koliama kaka na mokolo oyo abonzi yango, eloko moko te ekoki kotikala kino na tongo.
The meat of that offering must be eaten on the day that it is offered; none of it should be left to [be eaten on] the next day.
16 Soki abonzi mbeka na ye ya boyokani mpo ete apesaki elaka, na kolapa ndayi to wuta na mokano ya motema na ye moko, mbeka esengeli koliama kaka na mokolo oyo abonzi yango. Kasi soki ndambo etikali, ekoliama na mokolo oyo ekolanda.
“However, if your offering is the result of a solemn promise that you made to Yahweh, or if it is an offering that you make (voluntarily/without being required to), you are permitted to eat some of the meat on the day it is offered, but anything that is left may be eaten on the next day.
17 Mosuni oyo ekotikala na mbeka, na mokolo oyo ekolanda, esengeli kotumba yango.
But any meat that is left until the third day must be completely burned.
18 Soki mosuni ya mbeka ya boyokani eliami na mokolo ya misato, mbeka yango ekondimama te. Ekotangama te likolo ya moto oyo abonzi yango, pamba te ezali likabo ya mbindo; mpe moto oyo akomeka kolia yango akomema masumu.
If any meat from the offering to maintain fellowship with Yahweh is eaten on the third day, Yahweh will not accept that offering; it will be useless to offer it, because Yahweh will consider that it is worthless. Anyone who eats some of it will have to pay a penalty [to Yahweh].
19 Bongo soki mosuni yango etutani na eloko ya mbindo, esengeli batumba mosuni yango na moto. Kasi mpo na oyo etali mosuni ya mbeka ya boyokani, kaka moto oyo azali peto nde akoki kolia yango.
“Meat that touches something [that God considers to be] impure must not be eaten; it must be completely burned. Anyone who has performed the rituals to become acceptable to God is allowed to eat other meat [which has been offered as a sacrifice].
20 Nzokande, soki moto ya mbindo alie mosuni ya mbeka ya boyokani oyo ezali ya Yawe, basengeli kolongola ye kati na bato na ye.
But if anyone who has not performed those rituals eats some of the meat of the offering to maintain fellowship with Yahweh, meat that belongs to Yahweh, he must no longer be allowed to associate with God’s people.
21 Soki moto moko asimbi eloko ya mbindo, ezala moto ya mbindo to nyama ya mbindo to eloko mosusu ya mabe mpe ya mbindo, mpe alie mosuni ya mbeka ya boyokani oyo ezali ya Yawe, basengeli kolongola ye kati na bato na ye.’ › »
If anyone touches something that God considers to be impure and very displeasing to him, whether it is from a human or from an animal, and then he eats any of the meat of the offering to maintain fellowship with Yahweh, meat that belongs to Yahweh, he must no longer be allowed to associate with God’s people.”
22 Yawe alobaki na Moyize:
Yahweh also said to Moses/me:
23 « Loba na bana ya Isalaele: ‹ Bokolia te mafuta ya ngombe, ya meme to ya ntaba.
“Say this to the Israeli people: ‘Do not eat any of the fat of cattle or sheep or goats.
24 Nzokande bokoki na bino kosalela mafuta ya nyama oyo ekufa to ya nyama oyo babomi na nyama ya zamba misala nyonso, kasi bokoki te kolia yango.
The fat of an animal that is found dead or that has been killed by a wild animal may be used for other purposes, but you must not eat it.
25 Moto nyonso oyo akolia mafuta ya nyama oyo babonzi epai na Yawe lokola likabo bazikisa na moto, bakolongola ye kati na bato na ye.
Anyone who eats the fat of an animal from which an offering has been made to Yahweh must no longer be allowed to associate with God’s people.
26 Na esika nyonso oyo bokovanda, bokoki te kolia makila, ezala makila ya ndeke to ya nyama.
And wherever you live, you must not eat the blood of any bird or animal.
27 Moto nyonso oyo akolia makila, bakolongola ye kati na bato na ye. › »
If anyone eats blood, he must no longer be allowed to associate with God’s people.’”
28 Yawe alobaki na Moyize:
Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
29 « Loba na bana ya Isalaele: ‹ Moto nyonso oyo akobonza epai na Yawe mbeka ya boyokani akomema eteni ya mbeka na ye lokola mbeka na ye epai na Yawe.
“Tell the Israeli people this: ‘Anyone who brings an offering to maintain fellowship with Yahweh must bring part of it to be a sacrifice to Yahweh.
30 Akomema yango ye moko, na maboko na ye, mpo ete etumbama lokola likabo bazikisa na moto mpo na Yawe. Akomema mafuta mpe tolo ya mbeka mpe akotombola liboso ya Yawe tolo yango lokola likabo ya kotombola.
He himself must bring the offering that will be burned in the fire. He must bring the fat along with the breast of the animal and lift it up in front of Yahweh to indicate that it is an offering to him.
31 Nganga-Nzambe akotumba mafuta na etumbelo, kasi tolo ekozala mpo na Aron mpe bana na ye ya mibali.
The Supreme Priest must burn the fat on the altar, but the breast belongs to Aaron and all his sons.
32 Bokopesa epai ya Nganga-Nzambe lokola likabo mopende ya ngambo ya loboko ya mobali ya bambeka ya boyokani.
You must give to the Supreme Priest the right thigh of the animal that is sacrificed to maintain fellowship with Yahweh.
33 Mwana mobali ya Aron oyo akobonza makila mpe mafuta ya mbeka ya boyokani akozwa mopende ya ngambo ya loboko ya mobali.
The son of Aaron who offers the blood and the fat of that sacrifice must be given the right thigh of the animal as his share.
34 Pamba te, nakobanda kozwa kati na bambeka ya boyokani ya bana ya Isalaele tolo oyo batomboli mpe mopende oyo babonzi lokola likabo ya kotombola. Napesi yango epai ya Nganga-Nzambe Aron mpe bana na ye ya mibali lokola eteni na bango oyo bakobanda kozwa tango nyonso epai ya bana ya Isalaele.
From the offerings that the Israeli people give to maintain fellowship with Yahweh, he has declared that he has given to Aaron and his sons the breast that is lifted up and the right thigh that is offered; those portions must always be their regular share from the Israeli people.’”
35 Yango nde eteni ya makabo bazikisa na moto, oyo bana ya Isalaele basengeli kopesa epai ya Aron mpe bana na ye ya mibali wuta mokolo oyo akobulisa bango mpo na kosalela Yawe lokola Banganga-Nzambe. › »
Those are the portions of the offerings brought/given to Yahweh and burned in fire that are allotted to Aaron and his sons on the day that they are set apart to serve Yahweh as priests.
36 Yango nde mitindo oyo Yawe apesaki epai ya bana ya Isalaele mpo ete, wuta mokolo oyo apakolaki bango mafuta, babanda kopesa bango yango lokola eteni na bango. Ezali mibeko ya seko mpo na milongo nyonso ya bana na bango.
Yahweh commands that on the day that the priests are appointed [MTY], the Israeli people must always give those portions to the priests.
37 Yango nde mibeko mpo na mbeka ya kotumba, likabo ya gato, mbeka mpo na masumu, mbeka mpo na kozongisa boyokani, mbeka mpo na kobulisa mpe mpo na mbeka ya boyokani
Those are the regulations for the offerings that are to be completely burned on the altar, the offerings made from grain, the offerings to enable people to become acceptable to God again, the offerings for when people are guilty of not giving to Yahweh the things that are required to be given to him, the offerings given when the priests are appointed, and the offerings to maintain fellowship with Yahweh.
38 oyo Yawe apesaki epai ya Moyize, na ngomba Sinai kati na esobe ya Sinai na mokolo oyo apesaki mitindo epai ya bana ya Isalaele ete babonzela Ye bambeka mpe makabo na bango.
They are regulations that Yahweh gave to Moses/me on Sinai Mountain in the Sinai Desert, on the day that he commanded the Israeli people to start bringing their offerings to him.
