Leviticus 18

1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

Seyè a pale ak Moyiz, li di l' konsa:

2 Speak to the sons of Israel, and you shall say to them: I am the Lord your God.

-Pale ak moun pèp Izrayèl yo, w'a di yo: Se mwen menm ki Seyè a, Bondye nou an!

3 You shall not act according to the custom of the land of Egypt, in which you have lived; nor shall you behave according to the habit of the region of Canaan, into which I will lead you; neither shall you walk in their ordinances.

Piga nou janm fè menm jan ak moun peyi Lejip kote nou te ye a, ni tankou moun peyi Kanaran kote mwen pral mennen nou an. Piga nou swiv mès yo.

4 You shall accomplish my judgments, and you shall observe my precepts, and you shall walk in them. I am the Lord your God.

Se pou nou swiv lòd mwen ban nou. Se pou nou fè sa mwen di nou fè. Se pou nou mache dapre prensip mwen ban nou. Se mwen menm ki Seyè a, Bondye nou an.

5 Keep my laws and judgments; when a man does these, he shall live by them. I am the Lord.

Se pou nou swiv regleman ak lòd mwen ban nou yo. Gremesi sa m' di nou fè a, tout moun ki koute m' va jwenn lavi. Se mwen menm ki Seyè a!

6 No man shall approach her who is a close blood-relative to him, so as to uncover her nakedness. I am the Lord.

Apre sa, Seyè a bay regleman sa yo: -Piga pesonn kouche yon fanm ki fanmi pre l'. Se mwen menm ki Seyè a.

7 You shall not expose the nakedness of your father, or the nakedness of your mother. She is your mother; you shall not uncover her nakedness.

Piga ou jete dezonè sou papa ou pou ou kouche madanm li, se manman ou li ye. Pa jete dezonè sou manman ou.

8 You shall not expose the nakedness of your father’s wife; for it is the nakedness of your father.

Piga ou jete dezonè sou papa ou pou ou kouche yonn nan fanm kay papa ou yo.

9 You shall not uncover the nakedness of your sister, whether from father or from mother, whether she was born at home or abroad.

Piga ou kouche sè ou, li te mèt menm papa osinon menm manman avè ou, kit li te elve nan menm kay avè ou, kit li te elve lòt kote. Piga ou kouche l'.

10 You shall not uncover the nakedness of your son’s daughter, or your daughter’s daughter; for it is your own nakedness.

Piga ou kouche pitit fi pitit gason ou osinon pitit fi pitit fi ou. Se va sou pwòp tèt ou w'a jete dezonè.

11 You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father’s wife’s daughter, whom she bore to your father, and who is your sister.

Piga ou kouche pitit fi madanm papa ou. Se pou ou konsidere l' tankou pwòp sè ou.

12 You shall not expose the nakedness of your father’s sister; for she is the flesh of your father.

Piga ou kouche matant ou, kit se matant bò papa,

13 You shall not uncover the nakedness of your mother’s sister, because she is the flesh of your mother.

kit se bò manman.

14 You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father’s brother, nor shall you approach his wife, who is joined to you by affinity.

Piga ou kouche madanm tonton ou bò papa. Se pou ou konsidere l' tankou matant ou.

15 You shall not uncover the nakedness of your daughter-in-law, for she is your son’s wife; neither shall you expose her dishonor.

Piga ou kouche bèlfi ou: se madanm pitit gason ou li ye. Pa jete dezonè sou li.

16 You shall not uncover the nakedness of your brother’s wife; for it is the nakedness of your brother.

Piga ou kouche madanm frè ou. Pa jete dezonè sou frè ou.

17 You shall not uncover the nakedness of your wife and her daughter. You shall not take her son’s daughter or her daughter’s daughter, so as to uncover her dishonor; for they are her flesh, and such sexual intercourse is incest.

Piga ou kouche pitit fi osinon pitit pitit fi yon madanm ki te nan afè avè ou deja. Pa kouche yo. Se tankou si se te fanmi pre ou yo te ye. Si ou fè sa, se va yon wont!

18 You shall not take your wife’s sister as a rival mistress; nor shall you uncover her nakedness, while your wife is still living.

Piga ou pran yonn nan sè madanm ou pou yonn nan pwòp madanm ou yo toutotan madanm ou vivan. Sa ka mete yon jalouzi nan mitan yo.

19 You shall not approach a woman who is undergoing menstruation, nor shall you uncover her foulness.

Piga ou kouche yon fanm ki gen règ li, paske lè sa a li pa nan kondisyon pou fè sèvis Bondye.

20 You shall not have sexual intercourse with your neighbor’s wife, nor shall you be defiled by the mingling of seed.

Piga ou kouche madanm yon frè parèy ou, paske lè nou fè sa, ni ou ni fanm lan, nou pa nan kondisyon pou fè sèvis Bondye.

21 You shall not give some of your seed to be consecrated to the idol Moloch, nor to pollute the name of your God. I am the Lord.

Piga ou janm bay yonn nan pitit fi ou yo tankou ofrann pou yo boule bay zidòl yo rele Molòk la, paske lè sa a w'a fè yo derespekte non Bondye. Se mwen menm ki Seyè a.

22 You shall not commit sexual acts with a male, in place of sexual intercourse with a female, for this is an abomination.

Piga yon gason kouche yon lòt gason tankou yo kouche yon fanm: Se bagay Bondye pi pa vle wè.

23 You shall not commit sexual acts with any animal, nor shall you be defiled by it. A woman shall not lie down with a beast, nor commit sexual acts with it; for this is wickedness.

Ni fanm ni gason pa gen dwa kwaze ak zannimo. Se bagay k'ap mete yo nan kondisyon pou yo pa ka fè sèvis Bondye. Se bagay sal nèt.

24 Do not pollute yourselves with any of these things, by which all of the nations, which I will cast out in your sight, have been contaminated

Piga nou janm fè bagay sa yo k'ap mete nou nan kondisyon pou nou pa ka fè sèvis Bondye. Se bagay konsa pèp lòt nasyon ki t'ap viv nan peyi a anvan nou yo te konn fè. Se poutèt sa Seyè a ap mete yo deyò pou nou ka pran plas yo.

25 and by which the land has been polluted. I will visit the wickedness of the land, so that it may vomit out its inhabitants.

Yo te mete tout peyi a nan move kondisyon ak sa yo t'ap fè a. Se konsa mwen menm Seyè a, m'ap peni peyi a, m'ap fè l' voye moun ki rete sou li yo jete deyò.

26 Keep my ordinances and judgments, and do not do any of these abominations: the native born, as well as the settler, who sojourns among you.

Men nou menm, se pou nou kenbe tout lòd ak tout kòmandman mwen ban nou yo. Piga pesonn ni nan nou, ni nan moun lòt nasyon k'ap viv nan mitan nou yo fè ankenn nan bagay mwen pa vle wè yo.

27 For all these detestable things were done by the inhabitants of the land who were here before you, and they have polluted it.

Se paske moun ki te rete nan peyi a anvan nou yo te fè tout kalite bagay sa yo, kifè yo te mete peyi a nan move kondisyon sa a.

28 Therefore, beware, lest in a similar manner, it may vomit you out as well, if you do these same things, just as it vomited out the people who were before you.

Konsa tou, si nou mete peyi a nan move kondisyon, peyi a pral voye nou jete deyò menm jan li te fè l' pou pèp ki te la anvan nou yo.

29 Every soul who shall commit any of these abominations shall perish from the midst of his people.

Depi yon moun fè yonn nan bagay sal sa yo, y'ap wete l' nan mitan pèp Bondye a.

30 Keep my commandments. Do not be willing to do the things which have been done by those who were before you, and do not be polluted by these things. I am the Lord your God.

Epi Seyè a di: -Se pou nou kenbe lòd mwen yo. Pa swiv move mès moun ki te rete nan peyi a anvan nou yo. Pa fè vye bagay sa yo k'ap mete nou nan kondisyon pou nou pa ka fè sèvis Bondye. Se mwen menm ki Seyè a, Bondye nou an!
