Levitik 22
1 Alò SENYÈ a te pale avèk Moïse. Li te di:
Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
2 Di Aaron avèk fis li yo pou separe yo de bagay sen ki pou fis Israël yo, ke yo dedye kon sen de Mwen yo, epi pou yo pa derespekte non sen Mwen an. Mwen se SENYÈ a.
“Speak to Aaron and to his sons, tell them to keep away from the holy things of the people of Israel, which they set apart to me. They must not profane my holy name. I am Yahweh.
3 “Di yo ke: ‘Si nenpòt moun pami tout jenerasyon nou yo vin pwoche de bagay sen yo, ke fis Israël yo te dedye bay SENYÈ a pandan li pa pwòp, moun sa a va koupe retire devan M. Mwen se SENYÈ a.
Say to them, 'If any of your descendants throughout your generations approaches the holy things that the people of Israel have set apart to Yahweh, while he is unclean, that person must be cut off from before me: I am Yahweh.
4 “‘P ap gen yon nonm pami desandan Aaron yo ki gen lalèp oswa yon ekoulman ki kapab manje nan bagay sen yo jiskaske li vin pwòp. Konsa, si youn vin touche nenpòt bagay ki fèt pa pwòp pa yon moun mouri, oswa si yon nonm vin fè yon ekoulman,
None of the descendants of Aaron who has an infectious skin disease, or an infection flowing from his body, may eat any of the sacrifices made to Yahweh until he is clean. Whoever touches anything unclean through contact with the dead, or by contact with a man who has a flow of semen,
5 oswa, si yon mesye vin touche nenpòt nan bèt ki trennen atè, oswa nenpòt moun ki fè l vin pa pwòp, nenpòt sa ki fè l pa pwòp;
or whoever touches any creeping animal that makes him unclean, or any person who makes him unclean, whatever kind of uncleanness it may be—
6 ke yon moun ki touche nenpòt kalite bagay konsa va pa pwòp jis rive nan aswè, e li p ap kab patisipe nan manje nan bagay sen yo sof ke li benyen kò l nan dlo.
then the priest who touches anything unclean will be unclean until evening. He must not eat any of the holy things, unless he has bathed his body in water.
7 Men lè solèy la kouche, li va pwòp. Konsa, apre, li ka manje nan bagay sen yo, paske se manje li.
When the sun has set, he will then be clean. After sunset he may eat from the holy things, because they are his food.
8 Li pa pou manje yon bèt ki mouri oswa ki chire pa lòt bèt, pou fè l vin pa pwòp.
He must not eat anything found dead or killed by wild animals, by which he would defile himself. I am Yahweh.
9 “‘Konsa, yo va kenbe lòd Mwen, pou yo pa pote peche akoz li, e mouri konsa si yo souye li. Mwen se SENYÈ ki fè yo sen an.
The priests must follow my instructions, or they will be guilty of sin and could die for profaning me. I am Yahweh who makes them holy.
10 “‘Okenn etranje pa pou manje kado sen an. Yon vwayajè k ap rete ak prèt la, oswa yon ouvriye pa pou manje nan kado sen an.
No one outside the priest's family, including guests of a priest or his hired servants, may eat anything that is holy.
11 Men si yon prèt achte yon esklav kòm pwòp byen pa li, avèk pwòp lajan pa li, sila a kapab manje nan li, e sila ki te ne nan kay li yo kapab manje manje li.
But if a priest buys any slave with his own money, that slave may eat from the things set apart to Yahweh. The priest's family members and slaves born in his house, they also may eat with him from those things.
12 Si fi a yon prèt vin marye avèk yon moun ki pa prèt, li pa pou manje nan kado ofrann yo.
If a priest's daughter married someone who is not a priest, she may not eat any of the holy contribution offerings.
13 Men si fi a yon prèt vin vèv, oswa divòse, e pa gen pitit, si li vin retounen lakay papa li, tankou lè l te jèn, li va manje nan manje papa li; men moun deyò p ap kab manje li.
But if a priest's daughter is a widow, or divorced, and if she has no child, and if she returns to live in her father's house as in her youth, she may eat from her father's food. But no one who is not in the priestly family may eat from the priest's food.
14 “‘Men si yon nonm manje yon kado sen san konnen, alò, li va mete sou fòs li yon senkyèm anplis valè li, e li va bay kado sen an bay prèt la.
If a man eats a holy food without knowing it, then he must repay the priest for it; he must add one-fifth to it and give it back to the priest.
15 Yo pa pou degrade kado sen ki pou fis Israël yo, ke yo ofri bay SENYÈ a,
The people of Israel must not profane the holy things that they have raised high and presented to Yahweh,
16 epi konsa, fè yo pote pinisyon pou koupabilite akoz manje nan kado sen pa yo; paske Mwen se SENYÈ ki fè yo sen an.’”
and cause themselves to carry the sin that would make them guilty of eating the holy food, for I am Yahweh who makes them holy.'”
17 Alò SENYÈ a te pale a Moïse. Li te di:
Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
18 “Pale avèk Aaron, ak fis li yo, epi tout fis Israël yo. Di yo: ‘Nenpòt moun nan kay Israël la oswa pami etranje yo nan Israël ki prezante ofrann li, sof ke se youn nan ofrann sèman yo oswa ofrann bòn volonte yo, ke yo prezante bay SENYÈ a kòm yon ofrann brile—
“Speak to Aaron and his sons, and to all the people of Israel. Say to them, 'Any Israelite, or an alien living in Israel, when they present a sacrifice—whether it is to fulfill a vow, or whether it is a freewill offering, or they present to Yahweh a burnt offering,
19 pou nou ta aksepte li—li oblije ke se yon mal san defo ki sòti nan bèf, mouton, oswa kabrit.
if it is to be accepted, they must offer a male animal without blemish from the cattle, sheep, or goats.
20 Nenpòt bèt ki gen defo, nou pa pou ofri li, paske li p ap akseptab pou nou.
But you must not offer whatever has a blemish. I will not accept it on your behalf.
21 Lè yon moun ofri yon sakrifis lapè bay SENYÈ a pou ranpli yon ve espesifik, oswa yon ofrann bòn volonte ki sòti nan bann mouton oswa nan twoupo, fòk li bon nèt pou l kapab aksepte. Li pa pou gen defo menm nan li.
Whoever offers a sacrifice of fellowship offerings from the herd or the flock to Yahweh to fulfill a vow, or as a freewill offering, it must be unblemished to be accepted. There must be no defect in the animal.
22 Sila ki avèg yo, ki gen zo kase, oswa donmaje yo, sila ki gen maleng ekoulman, ekzema, oswa kal yo, nou pa pou ofri yo bay SENYÈ a, ni fè yon ofrann pa dife sou lotèl bay SENYÈ a.
You must not offer animals that are blind, disabled, or maimed, or that have warts, sores, or scabs. You must not offer these to Yahweh as a sacrifice by fire on the altar.
23 Pou yon bèf, oswa yon jenn ti mouton ki gen youn nan manm li ki pi gwo oswa pi piti ke lòt yo, nou kapab prezante li kòm yon ofrann bòn volonte, men kòm yon ofrann ve, li p ap aksepte.
You may present as a freewill offering an ox or a lamb that is deformed or small, but an offering like that will not be accepted for a vow.
24 Osi, nenpòt nan yo avèk boul grenn li brize oswa kraze, chire oswa koupe, nou pa pou ofri li bay SENYÈ a, ni fè sakrifis avèk li nan peyi nou an.
Do not offer any animal to Yahweh that has bruised, crushed, torn, or cut testicles. Do not do this within your land.
25 Ni nou p ap aksepte anyen ki konsa nan men a yon etranje kòm yon ofrann manje pou Bondye nou an, paske yo konwonpi. Yo gen defo. Yo pa pou aksepte pou nou.’”
You must not present the bread of your God from the hand of a foreigner. Those animals are deformed and have defects in them, they will not be accepted for you.'”
26 Konsa, SENYÈ a te pale a Moïse e te di:
Yahweh spoke to Moses and said,
27 “Lè yon bèf oswa yon mouton, oswa yon kabrit vin fèt, li va rete pandan sèt jou avèk manman li. Men depi nan uityèm jou a, li va vin aksepte kòm yon sakrifis pou yon ofrann pa dife bay SENYÈ a.
“When a calf or a sheep or a goat is born, it must remain seven days with its mother. Then from the eighth day on, it may be accepted as a sacrifice for an offering made by fire to Yahweh.
28 Menm si se yon bèf, oswa yon mouton, nou pa pou touye li ansanm avèk pitit li nan yon sèl jou.
Do not kill a cow or ewe along with its young, both on the same day.
29 “Lè nou ofri yon sakrifis pou remèsiman bay SENYÈ a, nou va fè sakrifis la yon jan pou l aksepte.
When you sacrifice a thank offering to Yahweh, you must sacrifice it in an acceptable way.
30 Li va manje nan menm jou a, nou pa pou kite anyen de li pou rive jis nan maten. Mwen se SENYÈ a.
It must be eaten on the same day that it is sacrificed. You must leave none of it until the next morning. I am Yahweh.
31 “Konsa nou va kenbe kòmandman Mwen yo, e fè yo. Mwen se SENYÈ a.
So you must keep my commandments and carry them out. I am Yahweh.
32 Nou pa pou degrade non sen Mwen an, men Mwen va sen pami fis Israël yo. Mwen se SENYÈ ki fè nou sen an,
You must not profane my holy name. I must be acknowledged as holy by the people of Israel. I am Yahweh who makes you holy,
33 ki te fè nou sòti nan peyi Égypte la, pou vin Bondye nou. Mwen se SENYÈ a.”
who brought you out of the land of Egypt to be your God: I am Yahweh.”
