Mitango 18
1 Yawe alobaki na Aron: « Yo elongo na bana na yo ya mibali mpe libota na yo bokomema mokumba ya masumu oyo ekosalema mpo na kobebisa bosantu ya Esika ya bule; mpe lisusu yo kaka elongo na bana na yo ya mibali nde bokomema mokumba ya masumu oyo ekosalema na mosala ya bonganga-Nzambe.
Jehovah said to Aaron, "You and your sons and your fathers' house with you shall bear the iniquity of the sanctuary; and you and your sons with you shall bear the iniquity of your priesthood.
2 Yeisa pene na yo bandeko na yo ya mibali, Balevi, bato ya libota ya koko na yo, mpo ete basunga yo tango yo elongo na bana na yo ya mibali bokosala mosala ya bonganga-Nzambe liboso ya Ndako ya kapo ya Litatoli.
Your brothers also, the tribe of Levi, the tribe of your father, bring near with you, that they may be joined to you, and minister to you: but you and your sons with you shall be before the tent of the testimony.
3 Bakosunga yo mpe bakosala misala nyonso ya Ndako ya kapo kasi bakopusana te pene ya bisalelo ya Esika ya bule mpe ya etumbelo, noki te bango to bino bokokufa.
They shall keep your commands, and the duty of all the Tent: only they shall not come near to the vessels of the sanctuary and to the altar, that they not die, neither they, nor you.
4 Bakosunga yo mpe bakozala na mokumba ya kobatela Ndako ya kapo ya Bokutani, mosala nyonso ya Ndako ya kapo, mpe moto mosusu te akoki kopusana pene ya esika oyo bozali.
They shall be joined to you, and keep the responsibility of the Tent of Meeting, for all the service of the Tent: and a stranger shall not come near to you.
5 Bino nde bokozala na mokumba ya kobatela Esika ya bule mpe etumbelo, mpo ete kanda makasi ekweya lisusu likolo ya Isalaele te.
"You shall perform the duty of the sanctuary, and the duty of the altar; that there be no more wrath on the children of Israel.
6 Tala, Ngai moko nde naponaki bandeko na yo, Balevi, kati na bana ya Isalaele lokola likabo mpo na yo; babulisami mpo na Yawe mpo na kosala mosala ya Ndako ya kapo ya Bokutani.
And as for me, look, I have taken your brothers the Levites from among the children of Israel; they are a gift to you, given to Jehovah, to do the service of the Tent of Meeting.
7 Kasi ekozala kaka yo elongo na bana na yo ya mibali nde bokosala mosala lokola Banganga-Nzambe na makambo nyonso oyo etali etumbelo mpe oyo esalemaka na sima ya rido. Nazali kopesa yo mosala ya bonganga-Nzambe lokola likabo. Moto mosusu oyo akopusana pene ya Esika ya bule asengeli kokufa. »
You and your sons with you shall keep your priesthood for everything concerning the altar, and for that inside the veil; and you shall serve: I give you the priesthood as a service of gift: and the stranger who comes near shall be put to death."
8 Bongo Yawe alobaki lisusu na Aron: « Ngai moko napesi yo mokumba ya kobatela makabo oyo babonzeli Ngai. Napesi na yo mpe na bana na yo ya mibali, lokola eteni na bino, makabo nyonso ya bule oyo bana ya Isalaele bapesi Ngai: ezali mobeko ya libela na libela.
Jehovah spoke to Aaron, "I, look, I have given you the command of my wave offerings, even all the holy things of the children of Israel; to you have I given them by reason of the anointing, and to your sons, as a portion forever.
9 Tala eteni oyo okozwa kati na makabo ya bule oyo eleki kitoko, oyo batumba na moto te: makabo nyonso oyo bakomemela Ngai lokola makabo oyo eleki bule, ezala makabo ya bagato to bambeka mpo na masumu to bambeka nyonso ya kozongisa boyokani; biteni wana nyonso ekozala mpo na yo elongo na bana na yo.
This shall be yours of the most holy things from the fire: every offering of theirs, even every meal offering of theirs, and every sin offering of theirs, and every trespass offering of theirs, which they shall render to me, shall be most holy for you and for your sons.
10 Bokolia yango lokola biloko oyo eleki bule, mwana mobali nyonso akolia yango. Bokotala yango lokola eloko ya bule.
You shall eat of it like the most holy things. Every male shall eat of it. It shall be holy to you.
11 Tala lisusu biloko oyo ekozala mpo na yo: biloko nyonso oyo bakobonza kati na makabo oyo ekowuta na maboko ya bana ya Isalaele. Napesi yango epai na yo elongo na bana na yo ya mibali mpe ya basi, lokola mobeko ya libela na libela. Moto nyonso kati na ndako na yo, oyo akozala peto akoki kolia yango.
"This is yours, too: the wave offering of their gift, even all the wave offerings of the children of Israel. I have given them to you, and to your sons and to your daughters with you, as a portion forever. Everyone who is clean in your house shall eat of it.
12 Napesi yo mafuta nyonso ya olive oyo eleki kitoko, vino ya sika mpe ble oyo bapesi epai na Yawe lokola mbuma ya liboso ya milona na bango.
"All the best of the oil, and all the best of the vintage, and of the grain, the first fruits of them which they give to Jehovah, to you have I given them.
13 Bambuma ya liboso ya mokili, oyo bakomema epai na Yawe ekozala mpo na yo. Moto nyonso kati na ndako na yo, oyo akozala peto, akoki kolia yango.
The first-ripe fruits of all that is in their land, which they bring to Jehovah, shall be yours; everyone who is clean in your house shall eat of it.
14 Eloko nyonso, kati na Isalaele, oyo ekokabama epai na Yawe ekozala mpo na yo.
"Everything devoted in Israel shall be yours.
15 Mpe lisusu, bana liboso nyonso, ezala ya bato to ya banyama oyo bakomema epai na Yawe bakozala mpo na yo. Kasi osengeli kosikola mwana mobali nyonso ya liboso ya moto to ya nyama ya mbindo.
Everything that opens the womb, of all flesh which they offer to Jehovah, both of man and animal shall be yours: nevertheless you shall surely redeem the firstborn of man, and you shall redeem the firstborn of unclean animals.
16 Tango bakokokisa sanza moko, osengeli kosikola bango na motuya ya mbongo ya bibende mitano ya palata, oyo moko na moko kati na yango ezali ya bagrame zomi, kolanda ndenge bamekaka kilo kati na Mongombo.
You shall redeem those who are to be redeemed of them from a month old, according to your estimation, for five shekels of money, after the shekel of the sanctuary, which is twenty gerahs.
17 Kasi osengeli te kosikola mwana liboso ya ngombe, ya meme to ya ntaba, pamba te ezali bule. Okosopa makila na yango na etumbelo mpe okotumba mafuta na yango lokola likabo bazikisa na moto, likabo ya solo kitoko mpo na Yawe.
"But you shall not redeem the firstborn of a cow, or the firstborn of a sheep, or the firstborn of a goat. They are holy. You shall sprinkle their blood on the altar, and shall burn their fat for an offering made by fire, for a pleasant aroma to Jehovah.
18 Misuni na yango ekozala mpo na yo, ndenge moko mpe mpo na tolo mpe mopende ya loboko ya mobali oyo batombolaka mpo na kobonzela Ngai.
Their flesh shall be yours, as the wave offering breast and as the right thigh, it shall be yours.
19 Napesi yo elongo na bana na yo ya mibali mpe ya basi, lokola ekateli ya libele na libela, biloko nyonso oyo bana ya Isalaele bakotiaka pembeni mpo na kobonza epai na Yawe lokola makabo ya bule. Ezali boyokani ya seko, oyo ekobongwanaka te liboso ya Yawe mpo na yo mpe bakitani na yo. »
All the wave offerings of the holy things, which the children of Israel offer to Jehovah, have I given you, and your sons and your daughters with you, as a portion forever: it is a covenant of salt forever before Jehovah to you and to your descendants with you."
20 Yawe alobaki na Aron: « Okozwa eteni ya mabele te kati na mokili na bango, mpe okozwa ata bomengo moko te lokola libula kati na bana ya Isalaele, pamba te Ngai moko nde nazali bomengo mpe libula na bino kati na bana ya Isalaele.
Jehovah said to Aaron, "You shall have no inheritance in their land, neither shall you have any portion among them. I am your portion and your inheritance among the children of Israel.
21 Napesi lokola libula, epai ya Balevi, biteni nyonso ya zomi oyo ekozwama kati na Isalaele lokola lifuti ya mosala oyo basalaka kati na Ndako ya kapo ya Bokutani.
"To the descendants of Levi, look, I have given all the tithe in Israel for an inheritance, in return for their service which they serve, even the service of the Tent of Meeting.
22 Kobanda sik’oyo, bana ya Isalaele basengeli lisusu te kopusana pene ya Ndako ya kapo ya Bokutani, noki te bakomema mokumba ya masumu na bango mpe bakokufa.
Hereafter the children of Israel shall not come near the Tent of Meeting, lest they bear sin, and die.
23 Ezali Balevi nde bazali na mokumba ya kosala mosala na Ndako ya kapo ya Bokutani mpe ya komema mokumba ya bambeba na bango na kati na yango. Oyo ezali mobeko ya libela mpo na bileko oyo ekoya ya sima. Bakozwa libula moko te elongo na bana ya Isalaele.
But the Levites shall do the service of the Tent of Meeting, and they shall bear their iniquity: it shall be a statute forever throughout your generations; and among the children of Israel they shall have no inheritance.
24 Na esika na yango, napesi epai ya Balevi lokola libula na bango, biteni moko nyonso kati na biteni zomi oyo bana ya Isalaele bakopesa lokola likabo epai na Yawe. Yango wana, nalobaki na tina na bango: ‹ Bakozwa libula moko te elongo na bana ya Isalaele. › »
For the tithe of the children of Israel, which they offer as a wave offering to Jehovah, I have given to the Levites for an inheritance: therefore I have said to them, 'Among the children of Israel they shall have no inheritance.'"
25 Yawe alobaki na Moyize:
Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
26 « Loba na Balevi mpe yebisa bango: ‹ Tango bokozwa na maboko ya bana ya Isalaele eteni ya zomi oyo napesi bino lokola libula, bosengeli kopesa eteni ya zomi ya biteni wana ya zomi lokola likabo mpo na Yawe.
"Moreover you shall speak to the Levites, and tell them, 'When you take of the children of Israel the tithe which I have given you from them for your inheritance, then you shall offer up a wave offering of it for Jehovah, a tithe of the tithe.
27 Likabo yango ekozala mpo na bino lokola oyo balongolaka na ble oyo bazali kobuka na elanga mpe na vino ya sika oyo ezali kobima na ekamolelo.
Your wave offering shall be reckoned to you, as though it were the grain of the threshing floor, and as the fullness of the winepress.
28 Na nzela wana nde bino mpe bokobonza makabo epai na Yawe wuta na biteni nyonso ya zomi oyo bokozwa na maboko ya bana ya Isalaele. Mpe wuta na biteni wana ya zomi, bosengeli kopesa eteni ya Yawe epai ya Nganga-Nzambe Aron.
Thus you also shall offer a wave offering to Jehovah of all your tithes, which you receive of the children of Israel; and of it you shall give Jehovah's wave offering to Aaron the priest.
29 Kati na makabo nyonso oyo bokozwa, bosengeli kopesa epai na Yawe eteni oyo eleki kitoko mpe eleki bule. ›
Out of all your gifts you shall offer every wave offering of Jehovah, of all its best, even the holy part of it out of it.'
30 Loba na Balevi: ‹ Tango bokopesa eteni oyo eleki kitoko, ekotangama mpo na bino lokola bambuma oyo elanga eboti mpe lokola vino oyo ekamolelo ebimisi.
"Therefore you shall tell them, 'When you heave its best from it, then it shall be reckoned to the Levites as the increase of the threshing floor, and as the increase of the winepress.
31 Bino elongo na mabota na bino, bokolia yango na bisika nyonso, pamba te yango ezali lifuti na bino mpo na mosala na bino kati na Ndako ya kapo ya Bokutani.
You shall eat it in every place, you and your households: for it is your reward in return for your service in the Tent of Meeting.
32 Na nzela ya kopesa eteni wana oyo eleki kitoko, bokozala na ngambo te na likambo wana, bokobebisa te bosantu ya makabo ya bana ya Isalaele mpe bokokufa te. › »
You shall bear no sin by reason of it, when you have heaved from it its best: and you shall not profane the holy things of the children of Israel, that you not die.'"
