Leviticus 21

1 The Lord also said to Moses: Speak to the priests, the sons of Aaron, and you shall say to them: Do not allow a priest to be contaminated by the death of his citizens,

Seyè a di Moyiz konsa: -Pale ak pitit Arawon yo, prèt yo. W'a di yo konsa: Lè yon prèt gen yon moun mouri nan fanmi l', piga li patisipe nan ankenn seremoni yo fè pou mò, pou sa pa mete l' nan kondisyon pou l' pa ka fè sèvis Bondye,

2 except only by his blood-relatives and near-relatives, that is, by a father or mother, or by a son or daughter, or also a brother,

esepte pou fanmi pre anpil tankou manman, papa, pitit fi, pitit gason, frè.

3 or a virgin sister, who is not married to a husband.

Pou yon sè, si sè a poko fè zafè, li gen dwa mete tèt li nan kondisyon pou l' pa ka fè sèvis Bondye.

4 But not even by the leader of his people shall he be contaminated.

Yon prèt pa gen dwa mete tèt li nan kondisyon pou l' pa ka fè sèvis Bondye lè se yon sè li ki deja marye ki mouri.

5 Neither shall they shave their head or their beard, and they shall not make incisions in their flesh.

Prèt yo pa gen dwa kale ankenn pati nan tèt yo, ni yo pa gen dwa taye pwent bab yo, ni yo pa gen dwa make kò yo avèk kouto, pou fè wè yo gen moun mouri.

6 They shall be holy to their God, and they shall not pollute his name. For they offer the incense of the Lord and the bread of their God, and because of this they shall be holy.

Se pou yo viv apa nèt pou Bondye yo. Yo pa dwe derespekte non mwen. Paske se yo menm k'ap mete nan dife ofrann yo fè pou Seyè a, se manje Bondye y'ap ofri. Se pou yo toujou rete apa pou mwen.

7 They shall not take as a wife a promiscuous woman, or a prostitute, or her who has been repudiated by her husband. For they are consecrated to their God,

Yon prèt pa gen dwa marye ni ak yon fanm ki t'ap fè jennès, ni ak yon fanm ki konn gason deja, ni ak yon fanm mari l' kite l', paske yo mete yo apa pou fè sèvis mwen.

8 and they offer the bread of the presence. Therefore, let them be holy, for I also am holy: the Lord, who sanctifies them.

Tout moun dwe konsidere prèt yo tankou moun yo mete apa pou Bondye, paske se yo menm k'ap fè ofrann pou Bondye nou an. Mwen menm Seyè a, mwen yon Bondye apa. Se mwen k'ap fè nou viv apa pou mwen. Wi, se pou nou konsidere prèt yo tankou moun yo mete apa pou Bondye.

9 If the daughter of a priest will have been taken into prostitution, and will have violated the name of her father, she shall be consumed by fire.

Si pitit fi yon prèt tonbe nan fè jennès, l'ap avili papa l', y'a boule l' nan dife pou touye l'.

10 The high priest, that is, the priest who is the greatest among his brothers, upon whose head the oil of anointing has been poured, and whose hands have been consecrated for the priesthood, and who has been vested with the holy vestments: he shall not expose his head; he shall not rend his vestments.

Granprèt la, se chèf li ye nan mitan tout prèt yo. Se moun yo te vide lwil sou tèt li a, moun yo te mete apa pou mete rad prèt la sou li a. Li pa fèt ni pou kite tèt li san penyen, ni pou l' chire rad sou li lè li gen moun mouri.

11 And he shall not enter to any dead body whatsoever; likewise, not even by his father or mother shall he be contaminated.

Yo mete kouwòn mwen sou tèt li, yo vide lwil sou tèt li pou mete l' apa pou mwen. Li pa fèt pou l' fè bagay ki pou mete l' nan kondisyon pou li pa ka fè sèvis Bondye, pou l' derespekte kay yo mete apa pou Bondye a.

12 Neither shall he exit from the holy places, lest he pollute the Sanctuary of the Lord. For the oil of the holy anointing of his God is upon him. I am the Lord.

Li pa fèt pou l' kite kay Bondye a pou l' al antre nan yon kay kote gen kadav moun mouri, menm si se papa l' osinon manman l' ki mouri a. Se mwen menm ki Seyè a!

13 He shall take a virgin as his wife.

Granprèt la va marye ak yon jenn fi ki tifi.

14 But a widow, or one who has been repudiated or defiled, or also a mistress, he shall not accept, but only a maiden from among his own people.

Li p'ap pran pou madanm yon fanm vèv, ni yon fanm divòse, ni yon fanm ki konn gason deja, osinon yon fanm ki t'ap fè jennès. Se sèlman yon jenn fi ki soti nan menm branch fanmi avè l' pou li pran pou madanm.

15 He shall not mingle the stock of his family with the common people of his nation. For I am the Lord, who sanctifies him.

Sinon, pitit li yo va yon wont pou fanmi an. Se mwen menm, Seyè a, ki mete li apa pou sèvis mwen.

16 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

Seyè a pale ak Moyiz, li di l' konsa:

17 Say to Aaron: A man from your offspring, throughout their families, who has a blemish, shall not offer the bread to his God.

-Pale ak Arawon, w'a di li: Si gen yon moun nan fanmi ou ki gen yon enfimite, li p'ap janm ka pwoche pou l' fè ofrann manje pou Bondye li. Regleman sa a ou fèt pou swiv li tout tan de pitit an pitit.

18 Neither shall he approach to minister to him: if he is blind, if he is lame, if he is small, or large, or has a crooked nose,

Ankenn gason enfim pa gen dwa prezante ofrann bay Bondye, kit li avèg, kit li bwete, kit li domaje nan figi, kit li difòm,

19 if his foot or hand is broken,

kit li enfim nan men osinon nan pye,

20 if he has a bulging back or bleary eyes, or if he has a white spot in his eye, or a chronic scab, or a skin disease on his body, or a hernia.

kit li gen boul nan do, kit li rachitik, kit li malad nan je, kit li gen maladi po, kit grenn li kraze.

21 Anyone from the offspring of Aaron, the priest, who has a blemish, shall not approach to offer sacrifices to the Lord, nor the bread to his God.

Depi yon gason nan ras prèt Arawon an enfim yon kote nan kò li, li p'ap ka pwoche pou fè ofrann pou boule nan dife pou Seyè a. Wi, si li gen yon enfimite, li p'ap ka pwoche devan Bondye pou fè ofrann pou li.

22 Nevertheless, he shall eat from the loaves which are offered in the Sanctuary.

Yon nonm konsa ka toujou manje nan manje yo ofri ban mwen, kit se nan manje yo ofri m' lan osinon nan manje yo mete apa pou mwen an.

23 But even so, he may not enter within the veil, nor approach to the altar. For he has a blemish, and he must not contaminate my Sanctuary. I am the Lord, who sanctifies them.

Men, li pa gen dwa pwoche bò rido a ni vin bò lotèl la paske li enfim nan kò l'. Li pa fèt pou derespekte bagay ki apa pou mwen yo paske se mwen menm Seyè a ki mete yo apa pou mwen.

24 Therefore, Moses spoke to Aaron, and to his sons, and to all of Israel, everything that had been commanded to him.

Se konsa, Moyiz pale ak Arawon, ak pitit gason l' yo ansanm ak tout moun pèp Izrayèl yo, li di yo tou sa.
