Levitik 17

1 Seyè a pale ak Moyiz, li di l' konsa:

The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

2 -Pale ak Arawon ak pitit gason l' yo epi ak tout moun pèp Izrayèl yo. W'a di yo: Men bagay Seyè a bay lòd pou nou fè:

“Speak to Aaron, and to his sons, and to all the children of Israel, and say to them, ‘This is the thing which the LORD has commanded:

3 Si yonn nan moun Izrayèl yo touye yon towo bèf, yon mouton osinon yon kabrit nan kan kote yo rete a, ou ankò lòt bò limit kan an,

Whatever man there is of the house of Israel who kills a bull, or lamb, or goat in the camp, or who kills it outside the camp,

4 depi se pa devan pòt Tant Randevou a li touye l' pou l' ofri l' bay Seyè a la devan kay Seyè a, moun sa a koupab, li fè yon krim, li fè san koule. Se pou yo wete l' nèt nan mitan moun pèp Bondye a.

and hasn’t brought it to the door of the Tent of Meeting to offer it as an offering to the LORD before the LORD’s tabernacle: blood shall be imputed to that man. He has shed blood. That man shall be cut off from amongst his people.

5 Sa vle di: Depi koulye a moun pèp Izrayèl yo gen pou mennen devan Seyè a tout bèt yo te konn touye nan jaden. Se pou yo mennen yo bay prèt la devan pòt Tant Randevou a. Se la y'a touye yo, menm jan yo touye bèt y'ap ofri pou di Bondye mèsi.

This is to the end that the children of Israel may bring their sacrifices, which they sacrifice in the open field, that they may bring them to the LORD, to the door of the Tent of Meeting, to the priest, and sacrifice them for sacrifices of peace offerings to the LORD.

6 Prèt la va pran san an, l'a vide l' sou lotèl la, devan pòt Tant Randevou a. L'a boule grès la pou l' fè yon bon sant ki va fè Seyè a plezi.

The priest shall sprinkle the blood on the LORD’s altar at the door of the Tent of Meeting, and burn the fat for a pleasant aroma to the LORD.

7 Se pou moun pèp Izrayèl yo sispann ofri bèt pou yo touye bay zidòl nan jaden tankou yo te konn fè lè yo te vire do bay Bondye a. Se pou pèp la toujou kenbe lòd sa a de pitit an pitit.

They shall no more sacrifice their sacrifices to the goat idols, after which they play the prostitute. This shall be a statute forever to them throughout their generations.’

8 Epi w'a di yo ankò: Ankenn moun nan pèp Izrayèl la, ni moun lòt nasyon k'ap viv nan mitan yo pa gen dwa touye bèt yo ofri ni pou yo boule nèt ni pou lòt kalite sèvis

“You shall say to them, ‘Any man there is of the house of Israel, or of the strangers who live as foreigners amongst them, who offers a burnt offering or sacrifice,

9 ankenn lòt kote, si se pa devan pòt Tant Randevou a pou li ofri l' bay Seyè a. Si se pa sa, y'a wete l' nèt nan mitan moun pèp Bondye a.

and doesn’t bring it to the door of the Tent of Meeting to sacrifice it to the LORD, that man shall be cut off from his people.

10 Pesonn ni nan pèp Izrayèl la, ni pami moun lòt nasyon k'ap viv nan mitan yo pa gen dwa manje vyann ak tout san li ladan l'. Si li fè l', mwen menm Seyè a, mwen p'ap okipe l' ankò, m'ap wete l' nan mitan pèp mwen an.

“‘Any man of the house of Israel, or of the strangers who live as foreigners amongst them, who eats any kind of blood, I will set my face against that soul who eats blood, and will cut him off from amongst his people.

11 Nanm tout bèt vivan se nan san an li ye. Se poutèt sa, mwen menm Seyè a, mwen mande pou yo vide tout san an sou lotèl la pou li ka wete peche pèp la. Nou bay san an pou nanm nou.

For the life of the flesh is in the blood. I have given it to you on the altar to make atonement for your souls; for it is the blood that makes atonement by reason of the life.

12 Se poutèt sa Seyè a te di moun pèp Izrayèl yo: Pesonn nan pèp Izrayèl la, ni ankenn moun lòt nasyon k'ap viv nan mitan nou pa gen dwa manje vyann ki gen san ladan l'.

Therefore I have said to the children of Israel, “No person amongst you may eat blood, nor may any stranger who lives as a foreigner amongst you eat blood.”

13 Lè yon moun nan pèp Izrayèl la osinon yon moun lòt nasyon k'ap viv nan mitan yo al lachas, si li pran yon bèt osinon yon zwazo yo gen dwa manje, l'a vide tout san bèt la atè epi la kouvri l' ak tè.

“‘Whatever man there is of the children of Israel, or of the strangers who live as foreigners amongst them, who takes in hunting any animal or bird that may be eaten, he shall pour out its blood, and cover it with dust.

14 Paske nanm tout bèt vivan se nan san an li ye. Se poutèt sa mwen menm, Seyè a, mwen di moun pèp Izrayèl yo: Yo pa gen dwa manje vyann ankenn bèt ak tout san an ladan l'. Paske se nan san an nanm lan ye. Tout moun ki manje vyann ak san li ladan l', m'ap wete yo nan mitan pèp mwen an.

For as to the life of all flesh, its blood is with its life. Therefore I said to the children of Israel, “You shall not eat the blood of any kind of flesh; for the life of all flesh is its blood. Whoever eats it shall be cut off.”

15 Mwen pa bezwen konnen si se moun pèp Izrayèl la osinon moun lòt nasyon k'ap viv nan mitan nou, depi yon moun manje vyann yon bèt mouri osinon vyann bèt yon lòt bèt nan bwa ta touye, l'a gen pou l' lave rad ki sou li, l'a benyen nan gwo dlo, epi li p'ap nan kondisyon pou fè sèvis Bondye jouk aswè. Se aprè sa l'a nan kondisyon pou fè sèvis Bondye ankò.

“‘Every person that eats what dies of itself, or that which is torn by animals, whether he is native-born or a foreigner, shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the evening. Then he shall be clean.

16 Men, si li pa lave rad ki sou li yo, si li pa benyen nèt, l'a peye sa l' fè a.

But if he doesn’t wash them, or bathe his flesh, then he shall bear his iniquity.’”
