Mitango 19
1 Yawe alobaki na Moyize mpe Aron:
The LORD spoke to Moses and to 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 has commanded. Tell the children of Israel to bring you a red heifer without spot, in which is no defect, and which was never yoked.
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.
You shall give her to Eleazar the priest, and he shall bring her outside of the camp, and one shall kill 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.
Eleazar the priest shall take some of her blood with his finger, and sprinkle her blood toward the front of the Tent of Meeting seven times.
5 Bongo bakotumba ngombe ya mwasi na miso na ye: poso, mosuni, makila mpe biloko ya kati.
One shall burn the heifer in his sight; her skin, and her meat, 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.
The priest shall take cedar wood, hyssop, and scarlet, and cast it into the middle 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 evening.
8 Moto oyo akotumba ngombe akosukola mpe bilamba mpe nzoto na ye; mpe akozala mbindo kino na pokwa.
He who burns her shall wash his clothes in water, and bathe his flesh in water, and 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.
“A man who is clean shall gather up the ashes of the heifer, and lay them up outside of the camp in a clean place; and it shall be kept for the congregation of the children of Israel for use in water for cleansing impurity. It is a sin 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.
He who gathers the ashes of the heifer shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the evening. It shall be to the children of Israel, and to the stranger who lives as a foreigner among them, for a statute forever.
11 Moto nyonso oyo akosimba ebembe ya moto, ata mokufi yango azalaki nani, akozala mbindo mikolo sambo.
“He who touches 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 water on the third day, and on the seventh day he shall be clean; but if he doesn’t purify 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.
Whoever touches a dead person, the body of a man who has died, and doesn’t purify himself, defiles the LORD’s tabernacle; and that soul shall be cut off from Israel; because the water for impurity was not sprinkled on him, he shall be unclean. His uncleanness is yet on 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 dies in a tent: everyone who comes into the tent, and everyone who is in the tent, shall be unclean seven days.
15 Sani nyonso ya kofungwama oyo ekozala na mofinuku te na likolo ekozala mbindo.
Every open vessel, which has no covering bound on 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.
“Whoever in the open field touches one who is 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.
“For the unclean, they shall take of the ashes of the burning of the sin offering; and running water shall be poured on them 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.
A clean person shall take hyssop, dip it in the water, and sprinkle it on the tent, on all the vessels, on the persons who were there, and on him who touched the bone, or the 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.
The clean person shall sprinkle on the unclean on the third day, and on the seventh day. On the seventh day, he shall purify him. He shall 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 the man who shall be unclean, and shall not purify himself, that soul shall be cut off from among the assembly, because he has defiled the sanctuary of the LORD. The water for impurity has not been sprinkled on 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.
It shall be a perpetual statute to them. He who sprinkles the water for impurity shall wash his clothes, and he who touches the water for impurity shall be unclean until evening.
22 Eloko nyonso oyo moto ya mbindo akosimba ekokoma mbindo, mpe moto nyonso oyo asimbi eloko yango akokoma mbindo kino na pokwa. »
“Whatever the unclean person touches shall be unclean; and the soul that touches it shall be unclean until evening.”
