1 Yawe alobaki na Moyize mpe Aron:
And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,
2 « Tala malako ya mibeko ya Yawe: Bosenga na bana ya Isalaele ete bamema epai na bino ngombe ya mwasi ya motane ezanga mbeba to litono mpe etikala nanu te komema ekangiseli.
This [is] the ordinance of the law which the LORD hath commanded, saying, Speak unto the children of Israel, that they bring thee a red heifer without spot, wherein [is] no blemish, [and] upon which never came yoke:
3 Bokopesa yango epai ya Nganga-Nzambe Eleazari. Bongo ye akomema yango na libanda ya molako epai wapi akokata yango kingo na miso na ye.
And ye shall give her unto Eleazar the priest, that he may bring her forth without the camp, and [one] shall slay her before his face:
4 Na nzela ya mosapi na ye, Nganga-Nzambe Eleazari akozwa makila ya ngombe yango ya mwasi mpe akosopa yango mbala sambo na ngambo ya ekotelo ya Ndako ya kapo ya Bokutani.
And Eleazar the priest shall take of her blood with his finger, and sprinkle of her blood directly before the tabernacle of the congregation seven times:
5 Bongo bakotumba ngombe ya mwasi na miso na ye: poso, mosuni, makila mpe biloko ya kati.
And [one] shall burn the heifer in his sight; her skin, and her flesh, and her blood, with her dung, shall he burn:
6 Nganga-Nzambe akokamata bakoni ya nzete ya sedele, ya izope, singa ya lino ya motane makasi, mpe akobwaka yango kati na moto oyo ezali kopela mpe ezali kozikisa ngombe ya mwasi.
And the priest shall take cedar wood, and hyssop, and scarlet, and cast [it] into the midst of the burning of the heifer.
7 Sima na yango, Nganga-Nzambe akosukola na mayi bilamba mpe nzoto na ye liboso ete azonga na molako. Atako bongo, Nganga-Nzambe akozala mbindo kino na pokwa.
Then the priest shall wash his clothes, and he shall bathe his flesh in water, and afterward he shall come into the camp, and the priest shall be unclean until the even.
8 Moto oyo akotumba ngombe akosukola mpe bilamba mpe nzoto na ye; mpe akozala mbindo kino na pokwa.
And he that burneth her shall wash his clothes in water, and bathe his flesh in water, and shall be unclean until the even.
9 Moto ya peto akokamata putulu ya ngombe mpe akotia yango na libanda ya molako na esika ya peto epai wapi bana ya Isalaele bakobatela yango mpo na kobongisa mayi ya bopetolami; ezali mbeka mpo na masumu.
And a man [that is] clean shall gather up the ashes of the heifer, and lay [them] up without the camp in a clean place, and it shall be kept for the congregation of the children of Israel for a water of separation: it [is] a purification for sin.
10 Moto oyo akozwa putulu ya ngombe akosukola mpe bilamba na ye mpe akozala mbindo kino na pokwa. Ekozala mobeko ya libela na libela mpo na bana ya Isalaele mpe mpo na mopaya oyo avandi kati na bango.
And he that gathereth the ashes of the heifer shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even: and it shall be unto the children of Israel, and unto the stranger that sojourneth among them, for a statute for ever.
11 Moto nyonso oyo akosimba ebembe ya moto, ata mokufi yango azalaki nani, akozala mbindo mikolo sambo.
He that toucheth the dead body of any man shall be unclean seven days.
12 Soki amipetoli na mayi na mokolo ya misato mpe ya minei, akokoma peto; soki te, akozala kaka mbindo.
He shall purify himself with it on the third day, and on the seventh day he shall be clean: but if he purify not himself the third day, then the seventh day he shall not be clean.
13 Soki amipetoli te sima na ye kosimba ebembe ya moto, abebisi bosantu ya Mongombo ya Yawe. Basengeli kolongola ye na Isalaele, pamba te basopeli ye te mayi ya bopetoli; boye akozala kaka mbindo, mbindo na ye ekokangama ye na nzoto.
Whosoever toucheth the dead body of any man that is dead, and purifieth not himself, defileth the tabernacle of the LORD; and that soul shall be cut off from Israel: because the water of separation was not sprinkled upon him, he shall be unclean; his uncleanness [is] yet upon him.
14 Tala mobeko oyo ebongi na kosalela soki moto akufi kati na ndako ya kapo: bato nyonso oyo bakokota na ndako ya kapo mpe ba-oyo bakomizalela na kati bakozala mbindo mikolo sambo.
This [is] the law, when a man dieth in a tent: all that come into the tent, and all that [is] in the tent, shall be unclean seven days.
15 Sani nyonso ya kofungwama oyo ekozala na mofinuku te na likolo ekozala mbindo.
And every open vessel, which hath no covering bound upon it, [is] unclean.
16 Moto nyonso oyo asimbi kati na bilanga ebembe ya moto oyo akufi mpo ete moninga na ye moto abomi ye to akufi na liwa nyonso kaka to mpe asimbi mikuwa ya moto to kunda, akozala mbindo mikolo sambo.
And whosoever toucheth one that is slain with a sword in the open fields, or a dead body, or a bone of a man, or a grave, shall be unclean seven days.
17 Mpo na kopetola moto oyo akomi mbindo, bakokamata putulu ya ngombe ya mwasi oyo batumbi na moto lokola mbeka mpo na masumu, bakotia yango na sani mpe bakosopela yango mayi ya etima.
And for an unclean [person] they shall take of the ashes of the burnt heifer of purification for sin, and running water shall be put thereto in a vessel:
18 Moto oyo azali mbindo te akokamata etape ya izope mpe akotia yango kati na mayi, bongo akosalela yango mpo na kobwaka mayi na ndako ya kapo epai wapi moto akufi, na bisalelo mpe na banzoto ya bato nyonso oyo bazalaki kati na ndako yango; akosala mpe bongo mpo na moto oyo asimbaki mikuwa, ebembe ya moto oyo moninga na ye moto abomaki to akufaki na liwa nyonso kaka to mpe mpo na moto oyo asimbaki kunda.
And a clean person shall take hyssop, and dip [it] in the water, and sprinkle [it] upon the tent, and upon all the vessels, and upon the persons that were there, and upon him that touched a bone, or one slain, or one dead, or a grave:
19 Na mokolo ya misato mpe ya sambo, moto oyo azali mbindo te akobwakela moto ya mbindo. Bongo na mokolo ya sambo, akopetola ye. Moto oyo bapetoli akosukola bilamba na ye mpe akomisukola nzoto na mayi; boye na pokwa, akokoma peto.
And the clean [person] shall sprinkle upon the unclean on the third day, and on the seventh day: and on the seventh day he shall purify himself, and wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and shall be clean at even.
20 Kasi soki moto oyo amikomisaki mbindo amipetoli, bakolongola ye kati na lisanga; pamba te akomisi mbindo Esika ya bule ya Yawe. Mpe lokola basopeli ye te mayi ya bopetoli na nzoto, akozala mbindo.
But the man that shall be unclean, and shall not purify himself, that soul shall be cut off from among the congregation, because he hath defiled the sanctuary of the LORD: the water of separation hath not been sprinkled upon him; he [is] unclean.
21 Ekozala mpo na bango mobeko ya libela na libela. Moto oyo akobwaka mayi ya bopetoli akosukola bilamba na ye, mpe moto oyo akosimba mayi yango akozala mbindo kino na pokwa.
And it shall be a perpetual statute unto them, that he that sprinkleth the water of separation shall wash his clothes; and he that toucheth the water of separation shall be unclean until even.
22 Eloko nyonso oyo moto ya mbindo akosimba ekokoma mbindo, mpe moto nyonso oyo asimbi eloko yango akokoma mbindo kino na pokwa. »
And whatsoever the unclean [person] toucheth shall be unclean; and the soul that toucheth [it] shall be unclean until even.
