Leviticus 1

1 While Moses/I was [standing near the entrance] to the Sacred Tent, Yahweh called to him/me from inside the tent. He said to Moses/me,

Seyè a rete nan Tant Randevou a, li rele Moyiz, li di l' konsa:

2 “Tell this to the Israeli people: ‘When any of you brings an offering to Yahweh, bring one of your sheep or goats or cattle.

-W'a pale ak moun pèp Izrayèl yo, w'a di yo: Lè yon moun vle fè Seyè a yon ofrann, si se yon bèt li vle ofri, l'a ofri yon bèf osinon yon kabrit ou ankò yon mouton l'a pran nan bèt li yo.

3 ‘If what you are offering is a bull that will be completely burned [on the altar], it must not have any defects. You must take it to the entrance to the Sacred Tent, in order that it will be acceptable to Yahweh.

Si se yon gwo bèt li vle ofri pou yo boule pou Seyè a, l'a mennen yon towo bèf ki pa gen ankenn enfimite. L'a vin avè l' jouk devan pòt Tant Randevou a pou Seyè a ka asepte l'.

4 You must lay your hands on the head of the bull. When you do that, Yahweh will accept [its death in your place] to forgive/pardon you for the sins that you have committed.

L'a mete men l' sou tèt bèt l'ap ofri a pou Bondye ka asepte l' tankou yon ofrann l'ap fè pou mande Bondye fè li gras.

5 You must slaughter the bull in front of Yahweh. Then Aaron’s sons, who are priests, will bring the blood and sprinkle it against all sides of the altar near the entrance to the Sacred Tent.

L'a touye towo a la devan Seyè a. Apre sa, prèt yo, pitit Arawon yo, va pran san an pou yo ofri l' bay Seyè a. Lèfini, y'a voye san an sou kat bò lotèl ki toupre pòt Tant Randevou a.

6 You must remove the skin of the animal and cut the animal into pieces. You must wash the inner parts and the legs of the bull.

Apre sa, y'a kòche towo a, y'a koupe l' an moso.

7 Then Aaron’s sons will put wood on the altar and light a fire.

Prèt yo, pitit Arawon, prèt la, va limen dife sou lotèl la, y'a mete bwa nan dife a.

8 Then they will arrange the pieces, including the head and the fat, on the burning wood.

Apre sa, prèt yo, pitit Arawon yo, va mete moso vyann yo ansanm ak tèt la ak moso grès yo sou dife ki sou lotèl la.

9 Then one of the priests will completely burn all of it on the altar. And the aroma will be pleasing to Yahweh.

Moun k'ap fè ofrann lan va lave tripay yo ak pye dèyè yo nan dlo. Lèfini, prèt yo va ofri yo bay Seyè a. Konsa y'a boule tout ofrann lan nèt sou lotèl la. Se sa yo rele yon ofrann bèt ou boule pou Seyè a, yon ofrann ou boule nèt nan dife epi k'ap fè Seyè a plezi ak bon sant li.

10 ‘If you are offering a sheep or a goat, it must be a male without any defect.

Si se yon ti bèt moun lan vle ofri pou boule nèt pou Seyè a, l'a ofri yon ti bouk kabrit osinon yon belye mouton ki pa gen ankenn enfimite.

11 You must slaughter it in front of Yahweh, on the north side of the altar, [and drain all the blood into a bowl]. Then Aaron’s sons will sprinkle the blood against all sides of the altar.

L'a touye l' sou bò nò lotèl la, devan Seyè a. Apre sa, prèt yo, pitit Arawon yo, va voye san an sou kat bò lotèl la.

12 You must cut the animal into pieces. You must wash the inner parts and the legs of the animal. Then the priests will arrange the pieces, including the head and the fat, on the burning wood.

Lèfini, nonm lan va koupe l' an moso. Prèt yo va mete tout moso yo ansanm ak tèt la ak moso grès yo sou dife ki sou lotèl la.

13 Then one of the priests will take all of it and completely burn all of it on the altar. And the aroma as it burns will be pleasing to Yahweh.

Moun k'ap fè ofrann lan va lave tripay yo ak pye dèyè yo nan dlo. Apre sa, prèt yo va ofri yo bay Seyè a. Konsa l'a boule tout ofrann lan nèt sou lotèl la. Se sa yo rele yon ofrann bèt ou boule pou Seyè a, yon ofrann ou boule nèt nan dife epi k'ap fè Seyè a plezi ak bon sant li.

14 ‘If what you are offering to Yahweh is a bird, you must offer a dove or a young pigeon.

Si se zwazo nonm lan ap ofri pou yo boule pou Seyè a, se va toutrèl osinon pijon.

15 The priest will take it to the altar and wring/twist off its head. Then he will burn the head on the altar. He will drain out the bird’s blood onto the side of the altar.

Prèt la va pran zwazo a, l'a pote l' bò lotèl la, l'a peze bèk li, l'a tòde kou l' pou l' touye l'. Y'a boule tèt la sou lotèl la, y'a fè san li koule sou kat bò lotèl la.

16 Then he will remove the bird’s (craw/food-grinding pouch) and what is inside it, and throw it on the east side of the altar, where the ashes are thrown.

L'a rache fal zwazo a ak tout plim li sou li. L'a jete l' bò lotèl la, sou bò solèy leve, kote yo mete sann dife a.

17 Then he will grasp the bird’s wings and partially tear the bird open. Then he will burn it completely in the fire on the altar. And the aroma will be pleasing to Yahweh.’

Apre sa, l'a bay yon kout kouto nan mitan de zèl yo, l'a kenbe zèl yo, l'a louvri kò zwazo a ande san li pa detache zèl yo. Lèfini, prèt la va boule l' nèt sou dife ki sou lotèl la. Se sa yo rele yon ofrann bèt yo boule pou Seyè a, yon ofrann ou boule nèt nan dife epi k'ap fè Seyè a plezi ak bon sant li.
