< Leviticus 19 >

1 The Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
Alò, SENYÈ a te pale ak Moïse. Li te di:
2 Speak to all the congregation of the children of Israel, and thou shalt say to them: Be ye holy, because I the Lord your God am holy.
“Pale avèk tout asanble a fis Israël yo. Di yo: ‘Nou va sen, paske Mwen menm, SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, Mwen sen.
3 Let every one fear his father, and his mother. Keep my sabbaths. I am the Lord your God.
“‘Nou chak va onore manman nou ak papa nou, e nou va kenbe Saba Mwen yo. Mwen se SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an.
4 Turn ye not to idols, nor make to yourselves molten gods. I am the Lord your God.
“‘Pa vire vè zidòl yo, ni fè pou nou menm dye metal fonn yo. Mwen se SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an.
5 If ye offer in sacrifice a peace offering to the Lord, that he may be favourable,
“‘Alò, lè nou ofri yon sakrifis lapè bay SENYÈ a, nou va ofri li pou nou kapab vin aksepte.
6 You shall eat it on the same day it was offered, and the next day: and whatsoever shall be left until the third day, you shall burn with fire.
Li va manje nan menm jou ke nou ofri li a, ak jou apre a. Si gen ki rete jis nan twazyèm jou a, li va vin brile avèk dife.
7 If after two days ally man eat thereof, he shall be profane and guilty of impiety:
Konsa, si li ta manje menm nan twazyèm jou a, sa se yon ofans. Li p ap aksepte.
8 And shall bear his iniquity, because he hath defiled the holy thing of the Lord, and that soul shall perish from among his people.
Tout sila ki manje li yo, va pote inikite li, paske li te degrade bagay sen SENYÈ a. Konsa, moun sa a va koupe retire de pèp li a.
9 When thou reapest the corn of thy land, thou shalt not cut down all that is on the face of the earth to the very ground: nor shalt thou gather the ears that remain.
“‘Alò, lè nou fè rekòlt nan tè nou, nou p ap rekòlte rive jis nan kwen chan an, ni nou p ap ranmase ti rès ki tonbe a.
10 Neither shalt thou gather the bunches and grapes that fall down in thy vineyard, but shalt leave them to the poor and the strangers to take. I am the Lord your God.
Ni nou p ap ranmase ti rès fwi nan chan rezen nou yo. Nou va kite yo pou malere yo ak etranje yo. Mwen se SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an.
11 You shall not steal. You shall not lie, neither shall any man deceive his neighbour.
“‘Nou pa pou vòlè, ni twonpe, ni manti youn ak lòt.
12 Thou shalt not swear falsely by my name, nor profane the name of thy God. I am the Lord.
“‘Nou pa pou fè fo sèman nan non Mwen pou degrade non a Bondye nou an. Mwen se SENYÈ a.
13 Thou shalt not calumniate thy neighbour, nor oppress him by violence. The wages of him that hath been hired by thee shall not abide with thee until the morning.
“‘Nou pa pou oprime vwazen nou, ni vòlè li. Salè a yon ouvriye jounalye pa pou rete nan men nou tout lannwit pou rive nan maten.
14 Thou shalt not speak evil of the deaf, nor put a stumblingblock before the blind: but thou shalt fear the Lord thy God, because I am the Lord.
“‘Nou pa pou anmède yon moun soud, ni mete yon obstak pou fè avèg la tonbe, men nou va gen krentif pou Bondye nou an. Mwen se SENYÈ a.
15 Thou shalt not do that which is unjust, nor judge unjustly. Respect not the person of the poor, nor honour the countenance of the mighty. But judge thy neighbour according to justice.
“‘Nou pa pou fè lenjistis nan jijman nou yo. Nou pa pou apiye vè malere a, ni apiye vè moun pwisan an, men nou va jije vwazen nou avèk jistis.
16 Thou shalt not be a detractor nor a whisperer among the people. Thou shalt not stand against the blood of thy neighbour. I am the Lord.
“‘Nou pa pou mache bay kout lang pami pèp nou an. Nou pa pou fè zak kont lavi vwazen nou yo. Mwen se SENYÈ a.
17 Thou shalt not hate thy brother in thy heart, but reprove him openly, lest thou incur sin through him.
“‘Nou pa pou rayi pwochen peyi nou nan kè nou. Nou mèt toujou korije vwazen nou, pou nou pa pote peche akoz li.
18 Seek not revenge, nor be mindful of the injury of thy citizens. Thou shalt love thy friend as thyself. I am the Lord.
“‘Nou pa pou pran vanjans ni pote lahèn nan kè nou kont fis pèp nou an; men nou va renmen pwochen nou tankou tèt nou. Mwen se SENYÈ a.
19 Keep ye my laws. Thou shalt not make thy cattle to gender with beasts of any other kind. Thou shalt not sow thy field with different seeds. Thou shalt not wear a garment that is woven of two sorts.
“‘Se pou nou kenbe règleman Mwen yo. Nou pa pou fè kwazman de ras bèf. Nou pa pou plante chan nou avèk de kalite grenn; Ni pou abiye ak yon vètman ki gen de kalite twal ki mele ansanm.
20 If a man carnally lie with a woman that is a bondservant and marriageable, and yet not redeemed with a price, nor made free: they both shall be scourged, and they shall not be put to death, because she was not a free woman.
“‘Alò, si yon nonm kouche nan zak seksyèl avèk yon fanm ki se yon esklav ki te pwomèt pou yon lòt gason, men ki pa t peye ranson li, ni pa t bay li libète l, li va pini. Malgre sa, yo p ap mete li a lanmò, paske li pa t lib.
21 And for his trespass he shall offer a ram to the Lord, at the door of the tabernacle of the testimony:
Gason an va pote ofrann koupab li devan SENYÈ a nan pòtay tant asanble a; yon belye pou ofrann koupab la.
22 And the priest shall pray for him and for his sin before the Lord, and he shall have mercy on him, and the sin shall be forgiven.
Prèt la va fè ekspiyasyon pou li avèk belye ofrann koupab la devan SENYÈ a pou peche ke li te fè a, e selon peche ke li te fè a, li va vin padone.
23 When you shall be come into the land, and shall have planted in it fruit trees, you shall take away the firstfruits of them: the fruit that comes forth shall be unclean to you, neither shall you eat of them.
“‘Lè nou antre nan peyi sa a, e plante tout kalite bwa pou manje, alò, nou va kontwole premye fwi pa yo kòm entèdi. Pandan twazan, li va entèdi a nou menm. Li p ap pou manje.
24 But in the fourth year, all their fruit shall be sanctified, to the praise of the Lord.
Nan katriyèm ane a, tout fwi li yo va vin sen. Yo va vin yon ofrann lwanj bay SENYÈ a.
25 And in the fifth year you shall eat the fruits thereof, gathering the increase thereof. I am the Lord your God.
Nan senkyèm ane a, nou gen pou manje nan fwi li, pou donn li kapab vin anpil pou nou menm. Mwen se SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an.
26 You shall not eat with blood. You shall not divine nor observe dreams.
“‘Nou pa pou manje anyen avèk san ki rete nan li. Nou pa pou pratike maji ni divinasyon zetwal ni predi evenman k ap vin rive.
27 Nor shall you cut your hair roundwise: nor shave your beard.
“‘Nou pa pou koupe kwen cheve tèt nou, ni taye sou kote bab nou.
28 You shall not make any cuttings in your flesh, for the dead, neither shall you make in yourselves any figures or marks: I am the Lord.
“‘Nou pa pou koupe kò nou pou moun mouri yo, ni fè tatou sou kò nou: Mwen se SENYÈ a.
29 Make not thy daughter a common strumpet, lest the land be defiled, and filled with wickedness.
“‘Pa degrade pwòp fi nou pou fè l vin yon pwostitiye, sòf ke peyi a menm ta tonbe nan pwostitisyon, e ranpli avèk tout kalite bagay lèd.
30 Keep ye my sabbaths, and reverence my sanctuary. I am the Lord.
“‘Nou va kenbe Saba Mwen yo, e nou va onore sanktyè Mwen an. Mwen se SENYÈ a.
31 Go not aside after wizards, neither ask any thing of soothsayers, to be defiled by them: I am the Lord your God.
“‘Pa vire bò kote moun ki fè kontak ak mò yo, ni ki chache move lespri yo. Pa chache yo pou nou pa vin degrade pa yo menm. Mwen se SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an.
32 Rise up before the hoary head, and honour the person of the aged man: and fear the Lord thy God. I am the Lord.
“‘Nou va leve devan moun cheve blanch yo. Nou va bay lonè a granmoun yo. Nou va gen lakrent pou Bondye nou an. Mwen se SENYÈ a.
33 If a stranger dwell in your land, and abide among you, do not upbraid him:
“‘Lè yon etranje rete avèk nou nan peyi nou, nou pa pou fè l tò.
34 But let him be among you as one of the same country: and you shall love him as yourselves: for you were strangers in the land of Egypt. I am the Lord your God.
Etranje ki rete avèk nou an va, pou nou, tankou pwòp moun peyi nou. Nou va renmen li tankou tèt nou, paske nou te etranje nan peyi Égypte la. Mwen se SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an.
35 Do not any unjust thing in judgment, in rule, in weight, or in measure.
Nou pa pou fè move jijman, ni nan mezire longè, pwa, oubyen kapasite.
36 Let the balance be just and the weights equal, the bushel just, and the sextary equal. I am the Lord your God, that brought you out of the land of Egypt.
Fòk balans nou yo jis, e pèz pwa nou yo jis; yon efa (22 lit) ki jis, e yon in (36 lit) ki jis. Mwen se SENYÈ nou an, ki te fè nou sòti nan peyi Égypte la.
37 Keep all my precepts, and all my judgments, and do them. I am the Lord.
“‘Se konsa nou va obsève tout règleman Mwen yo ak tout òdonans Mwen yo, e fè yo. Mwen se SENYÈ a.’”
