Levitike 1
1 Yawe abengaki Moyize mpe ayebisaki ye, wuta na Ndako ya kapo ya Bokutani:
And the LORD called unto Moses, and spoke unto him out of the tabernacle of the congregation, 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, If any man of you bring an offering unto the LORD, all of you shall bring your offering 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 offering be a burnt sacrifice of the herd, let him offer a male without blemish: he shall offer it of his own voluntary will at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation 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 put 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 the priests, Aaron's sons, shall bring the blood, and sprinkle the blood round about upon the altar that is by the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
6 Bakolongola poso ya mbeka yango mpe bakokata yango na biteni.
And he shall flay the burnt offering, and cut it into his 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 the 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 the priests, Aaron's sons, shall lay the parts, 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 his inwards and his legs shall he wash in water: and the priest shall burn all on the altar, to be a burnt sacrifice, 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 offering be of the flocks, namely, of the sheep, or of the goats, for a burnt sacrifice; he shall bring 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 the priests, Aaron's sons, shall sprinkle his blood round about upon the altar.
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 his pieces, with his head and his 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 he shall wash the inwards and the legs with water: and the priest shall bring it all, and burn it upon the altar: it is a burnt sacrifice, 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 the burnt sacrifice for his offering to the LORD be of fowls, then he shall bring his offering 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 his head, and burn it on the altar; and the blood thereof shall be wrung out at 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 pluck away his crop with his feathers, and cast it beside the altar on the east part, by 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 cleave it with 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 sacrifice, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD.
