< Levitike 9 >
1 Na mokolo ya mwambe, Moyize abengisaki Aron, bana na ye ya mibali mpe bakambi ya Isalaele.
Eight days later, Moses/I summoned the elders of Israel.
2 Alobaki na Aron: « Zwa mwana ngombe lokola mbeka mpo na masumu na bino mpe meme ya mobali mpo na mbeka na bino ya kotumba; nyonso mibale esengeli kozala ezanga mbeba, mpe bonza yango liboso ya Yawe.
Then he/I said to Aaron, “Take a young bull for the offering to enable you leaders to be forgiven for the sins you have committed, and a ram to be completely burned [on the altar], both of them without any defects, and offer them to Yahweh.
3 Bongo loba na bana ya Isalaele: ‹ Bozwa ntaba ya mobali lokola mbeka ya masumu, mwana ngombe mpe mwana meme ezanga mbeba mpe ya mobu moko lokola mbeka ya kotumba,
Then say to the Israeli people, ‘Take one male goat for the offering to enable you all to be forgiven for the sins you have committed. Also take a calf and a lamb that have no defects, to be an offering completely burned [on the altar].
4 mpe ngombe moko ya mobali mpe meme moko ya mobali lokola mbeka ya boyokani, mpo na kobonza lokola mbeka liboso ya Yawe elongo na likabo ya bambuma basangisa na mafuta. Pamba te, na mokolo ya lelo, Yawe akobimela bino. › »
Also take an ox and a ram to be an offering to maintain fellowship [with Yahweh], along with an offering of flour mixed with olive oil. Do this because today Yahweh is going to appear to you.’”
5 Bamemaki liboso ya Ndako ya kapo ya Bokutani biloko oyo Moyize atindaki bango; mpe lisanga mobimba bapusanaki mpe batelemaki liboso ya Yawe.
[After Moses/I told this to the Israeli people, some of them] took the things that Moses/I had commanded them to take, and went to the courtyard in front of the Sacred Tent. Then all the people came near and stood in front of Yahweh.
6 Moyize alobaki: « Tala makambo oyo Yawe atindi bino kosala mpo ete nkembo na Yawe ebimela bino. »
Then Moses/I said, “This is what Yahweh has commanded you to do, in order that his glory will appear to you.”
7 Moyize alobaki na Aron: « Pusana pene ya etumbelo mpe bonza mbeka na yo ya masumu mpe mbeka na yo ya kotumba; mpe sala mosala ya bolimbisi masumu mpo na yo moko mpe mpo na bato. Bonza likabo ya bato mpe sala mosala ya bolimbisi masumu mpo na bango, kolanda ndenge Yawe apesaki mitindo. »
Then Moses/I said to Aaron, “Come to the altar and sacrifice the animal that is your offering to enable you to be forgiven for the sins you have committed, and the animal that will be completely burned there. Because of those offerings, God will forgive you and the people for the sins that you have committed [DOU]. Do those things that Yahweh has commanded.”
8 Aron apusanaki pene ya etumbelo mpe akataki kingo ya mwana ngombe lokola mbeka mpo na masumu na ye moko.
So Aaron came close to the altar and slaughtered the calf to be an offering for his sins.
9 Bongo bana mibali ya Aron bamemelaki ye makila. Aron azindisaki mosapi na ye kati na makila, apakolaki makila yango na maseke ya etumbelo mpe asopaki makila oyo etikalaki na makolo ya etumbelo.
His sons brought its blood to him [in a bowl]. He dipped his finger into the blood and put some of it on the projections at the corners of the altar. He poured out the rest of the blood at the base of the altar.
10 Atumbaki na etumbelo: mafuta, bambuma mibale oyo ezalaka na kati ya loketo mpe fwa oyo ewutaki na mbeka mpo na masumu, ndenge kaka Yawe atindaki Moyize.
He/I burned the fat, including that which covered the kidneys and the liver, as Yahweh had commanded him/me.
11 Atumbaki na moto mosuni mpe poso na libanda ya molako.
Then Aaron burned [the rest of] the meat and the hide/skin outside the camp.
12 Aron akataki kingo ya mbeka ya kotumba. Bana na ye ya mibali bapesaki ye makila mpe asopaki yango na bangambo nyonso ya etumbelo.
Then Aaron slaughtered the animal that would be completely burned [on the altar]. His sons handed him [the bowl containing] its blood, and he sprinkled the blood on all sides of the altar.
13 Bapesaki ye mbeka ya kotumba bakata biteni-biteni elongo na moto, mpe atumbaki yango na etumbelo.
Then they handed him the head and the pieces of the animal that would be burned, and he burned them on the altar.
14 Asukolaki biloko ya kati mpe makolo, atumbaki yango na etumbelo, na likolo ya mbeka ya kotumba.
He washed the inner parts and the legs of the animal, and burned them on the altar, on top of the other pieces of the animal.
15 Aron amemaki likabo oyo ezalaki mpo na bato. Azwaki ntaba ya mobali lokola mbeka mpo na masumu ya bato, akataki yango kingo mpe abonzaki yango lokola mbeka ya masumu ndenge asalaki na mbeka ya liboso.
Then Aaron brought the animals that would be sacrifices for the Israeli people. He took the goat and slaughtered it to be an offering to enable them to be forgiven for the sins they had committed, like he had done with the goat for his own offering.
16 Aron amemaki mbeka ya kotumba mpe abonzaki yango kolanda mitindo.
Then he brought the animal for the offering to be completely burned. He slaughtered it and offered it in the way that Yahweh had commanded him to do.
17 Amemaki mpe likabo ya bambuma, atondisaki yango na loboko na ye mpe atumbaki yango na etumbelo elongo na mbeka ya kotumba ya tongo.
He also brought the offering of grain. He took a handful of it and burned it on the altar, like he had done for the animal that he had slaughtered and completely burned [on the altar] in the morning.
18 Aron akataki kingo ya ngombe ya mobali mpe ya meme ya mobali lokola mbeka ya boyokani mpo na bato; bana na ye ya mibali bapesaki ye makila mpe asopaki yango na bangambo nyonso ya etumbelo.
Then he slaughtered the ox and the ram, to be an offering for the Israeli people to maintain fellowship with Yahweh. His sons handed him [the bowl containing] the blood, and he sprinkled the blood against all sides of the altar.
19 Bapesaki ye mpe biteni ya mafuta ya ngombe ya mobali mpe ya meme ya mobali, mokila, mafuta ya biloko ya kati, mafuta ya bambuma mibale oyo ezalaka na kati ya loketo mpe bafwa.
But he took the fat from the ox and the ram, including their fat tails that were cut close to the backbone, and all the fat that covered the livers and the kidneys.
20 Batiaki biteni yango na batolo ya banyama nyonso mibale mpe Aron atumbaki mafuta na etumbelo.
He put them on top of the breasts of those animals and carried them to the altar to be burned.
21 Aron atombolaki liboso ya Yawe likabo ya kotombola, batolo mpe mopende ya ngambo ya loboko ya mobali ndenge Moyize atindaki.
Then, doing what Moses/I had commanded, he lifted up in front of Yahweh the breast and the right thigh of those animals, to signify that those two animals completely belonged to Yahweh.
22 Aron atombolaki maboko na ye epai ya bato mpe apambolaki bango; bongo akitaki sima na kobonza mbeka ya masumu, mbeka ya kotumba mpe mbeka ya boyokani.
Then Aaron lifted his arms toward the people and [asked Yahweh to] bless them. Then having finished making all those offerings, he stepped down [from the place where the altar was].
23 Moyize mpe Aron bakotaki na Ndako ya kapo ya Bokutani. Bongo tango babimaki, bapambolaki bato, mpe nkembo ya Yawe ebimelaki bato nyonso.
Then Aaron and Moses/I entered the Sacred Tent. When they/we later came out, they/we [asked Yahweh to] bless the people. And suddenly the glory/brightness of Yahweh appeared to all the people.
24 Moto ebimaki liboso ya Yawe mpe ezikisaki na etumbelo, mbeka ya kotumba mpe biteni ya mafuta. Mpe tango bamonaki bongo, bagangaki na esengo mpe bakweyaki bilongi na bango kino na se.
A fire from Yahweh appeared and burned up the offering that was to be completely burned and the fat that was on the altar. And when all the people saw that, they shouted joyfully and prostrated themselves on the ground [to worship Yahweh].
