Mitango 19

1 Yawe alobaki na Moyize mpe Aron:

And the Lord spoke 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 statute of the law which the Lord hath commanded, saying, Speak unto the children of Israel, that they bring unto thee a completely red cow, on which there is no blemish, upon which no yoke hath ever come.

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 Elazar the priest, and he shall lead her forth to without the camp, and some 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 Elazar the priest shall take some of her blood with his finger; and he shall sprinkle in the direction of the front of the tabernacle of the congregation of her blood seven times.

5 Bongo bakotumba ngombe ya mwasi na miso na ye: poso, mosuni, makila mpe biloko ya kati.

And some one shall burn the cow before his eyes; 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 a scarlet string, and cast it into the midst of the burning of the cow.

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.

And the priest shall wash his clothes, and he shall bathe his flesh in water, and afterward may he come into the camp; and the priest shall be unclean until the evening.

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 he shall be unclean until the evening.

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 cow, 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 sprinkling: it is a purification-offering.

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 up the ashes of the cow shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the evening: 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 human person shall be unclean seven days.

12 Soki amipetoli na mayi na mokolo ya misato mpe ya minei, akokoma peto; soki te, akozala kaka mbindo.

Such a one shall purify himself with it on the third day and on the seventh day, when he shall be clean; but if he purify himself not on the third day and on 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, the person of any man that is dead, and purifieth himself not, hath defiled the tabernacle of the Lord; and that soul shall be cut off from Israel; because the water of sprinkling 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: Every one that cometh 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, on which there is not a closely fitting cover, 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 in the open field one that hath been slain with a sword, 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 they shall take for the unclean person some of the ashes of the burnt purification-offering, and they shall put thereupon running water 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 have been there, and upon him that hath touched the bone, or the one slain, or the dead, or the 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 when he hath purified him on the seventh day, then shall he wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and shall be clean at evening.

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 a man that is unclean, and doth not purify himself, that soul shall be cut off from among the congregation; because the sanctuary of the Lord hath he defiled; the water of sprinkling 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 unto them for a perpetual statute; and he that sprinkleth the water of sprinkling shall wash his clothes; and he that toucheth the water of sprinkling shall be unclean until the evening.

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 may touch shall be unclean; and the person that toucheth him shall be unclean until the evening.
