Levitik 21
1 Alò SENYÈ a te pale avèk Moïse. Li te di: “Pale avèk prèt yo, fis Aaron yo. Di yo konsa: ‘Pèsòn pa pou konwonpi kò l avèk yon moun mouri pami pèp li a,
YHWH said to Moses, "Speak to the priests, the sons of Aaron, and say to them, 'A priest shall not defile himself for the dead among his people;
2 sof pou fanmi ki pi prè li yo, tankou manman l, papa l, fis li, fi li ak frè li,
except for his relatives that are near to him: for his mother, for his father, for his son, for his daughter, for his brother,
3 ak pou sè vyèj li, ki prè li, ki pa t gen mari. Pou sila a, li kapab konwonpi kò l.
and for his virgin sister who is near to him, who has had no husband; for her he may defile himself.
4 Li pa pou konwonpi kò l, akoz li se yon gwo chèf pami pèp li a, e konsa, pou vin degrade tèt li.
He shall not defile himself, being a chief man among his people, to profane himself.
5 “‘Yo pa pou fè tèt yo kale, ni taye bab yo, ni fè okenn blese nan chè yo.
"'They shall not shave their heads, neither shall they shave off the corners of their beards, nor make any cuttings in their flesh.
6 Yo va rete sen a Bondye pa yo a, e yo p ap konwonpi non Bondye pa yo a, paske se yo ki prezante ofrann dife bay SENYÈ a, manje pou Bondye pa yo a. Alò, fòk yo sen.
They shall be holy to their God, and not profane the name of their God; for they offer the offerings of YHWH made by fire, the bread of their God; therefore they shall be holy.
7 “‘Yo pa pou pran yon fanm ki degrade kòm pwostitiye, ni yo pa pou pran yon fanm ki divòse avèk mari li; paske li sen a Bondye pa li a.
"'They shall not marry a woman who is a prostitute, or profane; neither shall they marry a woman divorced from her husband: for he is holy to his God.
8 Konsa, nou va konsakre li, paske li ofri ou manje Bondye nou an. Li va sen pou nou, paske Mwen, SENYÈ ki sanktifye nou an, Mwen sen.
You shall sanctify him therefore; for he offers the bread of your God: he shall be holy to you: for I YHWH, who sanctify you, am holy.
9 “‘Fi a nenpòt prèt, si li degrade tèt li kòm pwostitiye, li degrade papa li. Li va brile nan dife.
"'The daughter of any priest, if she profanes herself by playing the prostitute, she profanes her father: she shall be burned with fire.
10 “‘Prèt ki se wo prèt pami frè li yo, sou tèt sila lwil onksyon an te vide a, e sila ki te konsakre pou abiye avèk vètman yo, pa pou dekouvri tèt li, ni chire rad li.
"'He who is the high priest among his brothers, upon whose head the anointing oil is poured, and that is consecrated to put on the garments, shall not let the hair of his head hang loose, nor tear his clothes;
11 Li pa pou pwoche okenn moun mouri, ni konwonpi tèt li menm si se pou papa li oswa manman li.
neither shall he go in to any dead body, nor defile himself for his father, or for his mother;
12 Li pa pou sòti nan sanktyè a, ni konwonpi sanktyè Bondye li a, paske konsekrasyon lwil sen an sou li. Mwen se SENYÈ a.
neither shall he go out of the sanctuary, nor profane the sanctuary of his God; for the crown of the anointing oil of his God is upon him. I am YHWH.
13 “‘Li va pran yon madanm ki vyèj.
"'He shall take a wife in her virginity.
14 Yon vèv, oswa yon fanm divòse, oswa youn ki degrade kòm pwostitiye, sa yo, li pa kapab pran yo. Men okontrè, fòk li marye ak yon vyèj pami pwòp pèp pa li a.
A widow, or one divorced, or a woman who has been defiled, or a prostitute, these he shall not marry: but a virgin of his own people shall he take as a wife.
15 Li pa pou degrade desandan li yo pami pwòp pèp li a, paske Mwen se SENYÈ ki fè li sen an.’”
He shall not profane his offspring among his people: for I am YHWH who sanctifies him.'"
16 Alò SENYÈ a te pale avèk Moïse. Li te di:
YHWH spoke to Moses, saying,
17 “Pale avèk Aaron. Di l: ‘Okenn moun pami nou ki gen yon defo fizik p ap pwoche pou ofri manje bay Bondye li a.
"Say to Aaron, 'None of your descendants throughout their generations who has a blemish, may approach to offer the bread of his God.
18 Paske nenpòt moun ki gen yon defo p ap pwoche: yon nonm avèg, yon bwate, yon nonm ki gen figi defòme, oswa okenn manm kò defòme,
For whatever man he is that has a blemish, he shall not draw near: a blind man, or a lame, or he who has a flat nose, or any deformity,
19 yon nonm pye kase oswa men kase,
or a man who has an injured foot, or an injured hand,
20 yon moun ki gen boul nan do oswa kata, oubyen yon moun ki gen defo nan zye li, oswa ekzema nan po, kal oswa boul grenn ki donmaje.
or hunchbacked, or a dwarf, or one who has a defect in his eye, or an itching disease, or scabs, or who has damaged testicles;
21 Okenn moun nan ras Aaron, prèt ki gen defo pa pou pwoche pou fè ofrann SENYÈ a pa dife. Akoz li gen yon defo, li pa pou pwoche pou ofri pen ki pou Bondye li a.
no man of the descendants of Aaron the priest, who has a blemish, shall come near to present offerings to your God made by fire. Since he has a blemish, he shall not come near to offer the bread of his God.
22 Li kapab manje pen Bondye li a, ni sa ki sen pase tout bagay yo, avèk sa ki sen an.
He shall eat the bread of his God, both of the most holy, and of the holy.
23 Se sèlman, li pa pou antre anndan vwal la, ni toupre lotèl la akoz ke li gen yon defo, pou li pa konwonpi sanktyè Mwen yo. Paske Mwen se SENYÈ ki fè yo sen an.’”
He shall not come near to the veil, nor come near to the altar, because he has a blemish; that he may not profane my sanctuaries, for I am YHWH who sanctifies them.'"
24 Alò, Moïse te pale avèk Aaron, a fis li yo, e a tout fis Israël yo.
So Moses spoke to Aaron, and to his sons, and to all the children of Israel.
