Levitike 1
1 Yawe abengaki Moyize mpe ayebisaki ye, wuta na Ndako ya kapo ya Bokutani:
And the LORD called unto Moses, and spake unto him out of 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 unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When any man of you offereth an oblation unto the LORD, ye shall offer your oblation of the cattle, [even] of the herd and of 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 his oblation be a burnt offering of the herd, he shall offer it a male without blemish: he shall offer it at the door of the tent of meeting, that he may be accepted 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.
And he shall lay his hand upon the head of the burnt offering; and it shall be accepted for him 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 kill the bullock before the LORD: and Aaron’s sons, the priests, shall present the blood, and sprinkle the blood round about upon the altar that is at the door of the tent of meeting.
6 Bakolongola poso ya mbeka yango mpe bakokata yango na biteni.
And he shall flay the burnt offering, and cut it into its pieces.
7 Sima, bakitani ya Nganga-Nzambe Aron bakopelisa moto na etumbelo mpe bakotanda bakoni likolo ya moto.
And the sons of Aaron the priest shall put fire upon the altar, and lay wood in order upon 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.
and Aaron’s sons, the priests, shall lay the pieces, the head, and the fat, in order upon the wood that is on the fire which is upon 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.
but its inwards and its legs shall he wash with water: and the priest shall burn the whole on the altar, for a burnt offering, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto 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.
And if his oblation be of the flock, of the sheep, or of the goats, for a burnt offering; he shall offer it a male without blemish.
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.
And he shall kill it on the side of the altar northward before the LORD: and Aaron’s sons, the priests, shall sprinkle its blood upon the altar round about.
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;
And he shall cut it into its pieces, with its head and its fat: and the priest shall lay them in order on the wood that is on the fire which is upon 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.
but the inwards and the legs shall he wash with water: and the priest shall offer the whole, and burn it upon the altar: it is a burnt offering, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD.
14 Kasi soki ezali ndeke nde azali kobonzela Yawe lokola likabo ya kotumba, akomema ebenga ya zamba to mwana ebenga ya mboka.
And if his oblation to the LORD be a burnt offering of fowls, then he shall offer his oblation of turtledoves, or of young pigeons.
15 Nganga-Nzambe akomema yango na etumbelo, akokata yango moto, akotumba moto yango na etumbelo mpe akosopa makila na yango zingazinga ya etumbelo.
And the priest shall bring it unto the altar, and wring off its head, and burn it on the altar; and the blood thereof shall 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 shall take away its crop with the filth thereof, and cast it beside the altar on the east part, in the place of the 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.
and he shall rend it by the wings thereof, [but] shall not divide it asunder: and the priest shall burn it upon the altar, upon the wood that is upon the fire: it is a burnt offering, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD.
