< Leviticus 1 >

1 And the voice of the Lord came to Moses out of the Tent of meeting, saying,
Yawe abengaki Moyize mpe ayebisaki ye, wuta na Ndako ya kapo ya Bokutani:
2 Give these orders to the children of Israel: When anyone of you makes an offering to the Lord, you are to take it from the cattle, from the herd or from the flock.
« 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.
3 If the offering is a burned offering of the herd, let him give a male without a mark: he is to give it at the door of the Tent of meeting so that he may be pleasing to the Lord.
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.
4 And he is to put his hand on the head of the burned offering and it will be taken for him, to take away his sin.
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.
5 And the ox is to be put to death before the Lord: then Aaron's sons, the priests, are to take the blood and put some of it on and round the altar which is at the door of the Tent of meeting.
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.
6 And the burned offering is to be skinned and cut up into its parts.
Bakolongola poso ya mbeka yango mpe bakokata yango na biteni.
7 And Aaron's sons, the priests, are to put fire on the altar and put the wood in order on the fire:
Sima, bakitani ya Nganga-Nzambe Aron bakopelisa moto na etumbelo mpe bakotanda bakoni likolo ya moto.
8 And Aaron's sons, the priests, are to put the parts, the head and the fat, in order on the wood which is on the fire on the altar:
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.
9 But its inside parts and its legs are to be washed with water, and it will all be burned on the altar by the priest for a burned offering, an offering made by fire, for a sweet smell to the Lord.
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.
10 And if his offering is of the flock, a burned offering of sheep or goats, let him give a male without a mark.
Soki ezali nyama ya moke nde azali kobonza lokola mbeka ya kotumba, akomema mwana ntaba to mwana meme ya mobali oyo ezanga mbeba.
11 And he is to put it to death on the north side of the altar before the Lord: and Aaron's sons, the priests, are to put some of the blood on and round the altar.
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.
12 And the offering is to be cut into its parts, with its head and its fat; and the priest is to put them in order on the wood which is on the fire on the altar:
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;
13 But the inside parts and the legs are to be washed with water; and the priest will make an offering of all of it, burning it on the altar: it is a burned offering, an offering made by fire, for a sweet smell to the Lord.
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.
14 And if his offering to the Lord is a burned offering of birds, then he is to make his offering of doves or of young pigeons.
Kasi soki ezali ndeke nde azali kobonzela Yawe lokola likabo ya kotumba, akomema ebenga ya zamba to mwana ebenga ya mboka.
15 And the priest is to take it to the altar, and after its head has been twisted off, it is to be burned on the altar, and its blood drained out on the side of the altar:
Nganga-Nzambe akomema yango na etumbelo, akokata yango moto, akotumba moto yango na etumbelo mpe akosopa makila na yango zingazinga ya etumbelo.
16 And he is to take away its stomach, with its feathers, and put it down by the east side of the altar, where the burned waste is put:
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.
17 And let it be broken open at the wings, but not cut in two; and let it be burned on the altar by the priest on the wood which is on the fire; it is a burned offering; an offering made by fire for a sweet smell to the Lord.
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.
