Levitike 1
1 Yawe abengaki Moyize mpe ayebisaki ye, wuta na Ndako ya kapo ya Bokutani:
Then the LORD called to Moses and spoke to him from the Tent of Meeting, saying,
2 « Yebisa bana ya Isalaele: ‹ Soki moko kati na bino alingi kobonza nyama lokola mbeka epai na Yawe, asengeli komema nyama oyo azwi kati na bangombe, bantaba mpe bameme.
“Speak to the Israelites and tell them: When any of you brings an offering to the LORD, you may bring as your offering an animal from the herd or the flock.
3 Soki azali kobonza ngombe lokola mbeka ya kotumba, amema nde oyo ezangi mbeba. Bongo akobonza yango na ekotelo ya Ndako ya kapo ya Bokutani mpo ete Yawe andima yango.
If one’s offering is a burnt offering from the herd, he is to present an unblemished male. He must bring it to the entrance to the Tent of Meeting for its acceptance before the LORD.
4 Moto oyo akobonza yango akotia loboko na ye na moto ya mbeka. Mbeka yango ekondimama lokola mbeka mpo na bolimbisi masumu ya moto oyo abonzi yango.
He is to lay his hand on the head of the burnt offering, so it can be accepted on his behalf to make atonement for him.
5 Akokata kingo ya ngombe liboso ya Yawe, bongo bakitani ya Aron, Banganga-Nzambe, bakozwa makila na yango mpe bakosopa yango na bangambo nyonso ya etumbelo oyo ezali na ekotelo ya Ndako ya kapo ya Bokutani.
And he shall slaughter the young bull before the LORD, and Aaron’s sons the priests are to present the blood and sprinkle it on all sides of the altar at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting.
6 Bakolongola poso ya mbeka yango mpe bakokata yango na biteni.
Next, he is to skin the burnt offering and cut it into pieces.
7 Sima, bakitani ya Nganga-Nzambe Aron bakopelisa moto na etumbelo mpe bakotanda bakoni likolo ya moto.
The sons of Aaron the priest shall put a fire on the altar and arrange wood on the fire.
8 Bana mibali ya Aron, Banganga-Nzambe, bakotia lisusu biteni ya ngombe, moto mpe biteni ya mafuta, na likolo ya bakoni oyo ezali kopela na etumbelo.
Then Aaron’s sons the priests are to arrange the pieces, including the head and the fat, atop the burning wood on the altar.
9 Bakosukola na mayi biloko na yango ya kati mpe makolo na yango; sima, Nganga-Nzambe akotumba nyonso na etumbelo. Ezali mbeka ya kotumba, likabo bazikisa na moto, oyo solo kitoko na yango ekosepelisa Yawe.
The entrails and legs must be washed with water, and the priest shall burn all of it on the altar as a burnt offering, an offering made by fire, a pleasing aroma to the LORD.
10 Soki ezali nyama ya moke nde azali kobonza lokola mbeka ya kotumba, akomema mwana ntaba to mwana meme ya mobali oyo ezanga mbeba.
If, however, one’s offering is a burnt offering from the flock—from the sheep or goats—he is to present an unblemished male.
11 Akokata yango kingo liboso ya Yawe, na ngambo ya nor ya etumbelo. Bakitani ya Nganga-Nzambe Aron basengeli kosopa makila na yango na bangambo nyonso ya etumbelo.
He shall slaughter it on the north side of the altar before the LORD, and Aaron’s sons the priests are to sprinkle its blood against the altar on all sides.
12 Akokata-kata mbeka yango na biteni; bongo Nganga-Nzambe akobongisa yango: akotia moto mpe biteni ya mafuta likolo ya bakoni oyo ezali kopela moto na etumbelo;
He is to cut the animal into pieces, and the priest shall arrange them, including the head and fat, atop the burning wood that is on the altar.
13 akosukola na mayi biloko ya kati mpe makolo. Sima, Nganga-Nzambe akomema nyonso mpe akotumba yango na etumbelo. Ezali mbeka ya kotumba, likabo bazikisa na moto, oyo solo kitoko na yango ekosepelisa Yawe.
The entrails and legs must be washed with water, and the priest shall bring all of it and burn it on the altar; it is a burnt offering, an offering made by fire, a pleasing aroma to the LORD.
14 Kasi soki ezali ndeke nde azali kobonzela Yawe lokola likabo ya kotumba, akomema ebenga ya zamba to mwana ebenga ya mboka.
If, instead, one’s offering to the LORD is a burnt offering of birds, he is to present a turtledove or a young pigeon.
15 Nganga-Nzambe akomema yango na etumbelo, akokata yango moto, akotumba moto yango na etumbelo mpe akosopa makila na yango zingazinga ya etumbelo.
Then the priest shall bring it to the altar, twist off its head, and burn it on the altar; its blood should be drained out on the side of the altar.
16 Akolongola eloko oyo ezalaka na kingo mpe bansala na yango nyonso; akobwaka yango na ngambo ya este ya etumbelo, na esika oyo batiaka putulu ya moto.
And he is to remove the crop with its contents and throw it to the east side of the altar, in the place for ashes.
17 Sima, akofungola ndeke na kati-kati ya mapapu; kasi akokata mapapu yango te. Bongo Nganga-Nzambe akotumba yango likolo ya bakoni oyo ezali kopela moto na etumbelo. Ezali mbeka ya kotumba, likabo bazikisa na moto, oyo solo kitoko na yango ekosepelisa Yawe.
He shall tear it open by its wings, without dividing the bird completely. And the priest is to burn it on the altar atop the burning wood. It is a burnt offering, an offering made by fire, a pleasing aroma to the LORD.
