Leviticus 18
1 And the Lord said to Moses,
Seyè a pale ak Moyiz, li di l' konsa:
2 Say to the children of Israel, I am the Lord your God.
-Pale ak moun pèp Izrayèl yo, w'a di yo: Se mwen menm ki Seyè a, Bondye nou an!
3 You may not do those things which were done in the land of Egypt where you were living; and you may not do those things which are done in the land of Canaan where I am taking you, or be guided in your behaviour by their rules.
Piga nou janm fè menm jan ak moun peyi Lejip kote nou te ye a, ni tankou moun peyi Kanaran kote mwen pral mennen nou an. Piga nou swiv mès yo.
4 But you are to be guided by my decisions and keep my rules, and be guided by them: I am the Lord your God.
Se pou nou swiv lòd mwen ban nou. Se pou nou fè sa mwen di nou fè. Se pou nou mache dapre prensip mwen ban nou. Se mwen menm ki Seyè a, Bondye nou an.
5 So keep my rules and my decisions, which, if a man does them, will be life to him: I am the Lord.
Se pou nou swiv regleman ak lòd mwen ban nou yo. Gremesi sa m' di nou fè a, tout moun ki koute m' va jwenn lavi. Se mwen menm ki Seyè a!
6 You may not have sex connection with anyone who is a near relation: I am the Lord.
Apre sa, Seyè a bay regleman sa yo: -Piga pesonn kouche yon fanm ki fanmi pre l'. Se mwen menm ki Seyè a.
7 You may not have sex relations with your father or your mother: she is your mother, you may not take her.
Piga ou jete dezonè sou papa ou pou ou kouche madanm li, se manman ou li ye. Pa jete dezonè sou manman ou.
8 And you may not have sex relations with your father's wife: she is your father's.
Piga ou jete dezonè sou papa ou pou ou kouche yonn nan fanm kay papa ou yo.
9 You may not take your sister, the daughter of your father or of your mother, wherever her birth took place, among you or in another country.
Piga ou kouche sè ou, li te mèt menm papa osinon menm manman avè ou, kit li te elve nan menm kay avè ou, kit li te elve lòt kote. Piga ou kouche l'.
10 You may not have sex relations with your son's daughter or your daughter's daughter, for they are part of yourself;
Piga ou kouche pitit fi pitit gason ou osinon pitit fi pitit fi ou. Se va sou pwòp tèt ou w'a jete dezonè.
11 Or your father's wife's daughter, the child of your father, for she is your sister.
Piga ou kouche pitit fi madanm papa ou. Se pou ou konsidere l' tankou pwòp sè ou.
12 You may not have sex connection with your father's sister, for she is your father's near relation.
Piga ou kouche matant ou, kit se matant bò papa,
13 You may not have sex connection with your mother's sister, for she is your mother's near relation.
kit se bò manman.
14 You may not have sex relations with the wife of your father's brother, for she is of your family;
Piga ou kouche madanm tonton ou bò papa. Se pou ou konsidere l' tankou matant ou.
15 Or with your daughter-in-law, for she is your son's wife, and you may not take her.
Piga ou kouche bèlfi ou: se madanm pitit gason ou li ye. Pa jete dezonè sou li.
16 You may not have sex relations with your brother's wife, for she is your brother's.
Piga ou kouche madanm frè ou. Pa jete dezonè sou frè ou.
17 You may not take as wife a woman and her daughter, or her son's daughter or her daughter's daughter, for they are of one family: it is an act of shame.
Piga ou kouche pitit fi osinon pitit pitit fi yon madanm ki te nan afè avè ou deja. Pa kouche yo. Se tankou si se te fanmi pre ou yo te ye. Si ou fè sa, se va yon wont!
18 And you may not take as wife a woman and at the same time her sister, to be in competition with her in her life-time.
Piga ou pran yonn nan sè madanm ou pou yonn nan pwòp madanm ou yo toutotan madanm ou vivan. Sa ka mete yon jalouzi nan mitan yo.
19 And you may not go near a woman or have sex relations with her when she is unclean, at her regular time.
Piga ou kouche yon fanm ki gen règ li, paske lè sa a li pa nan kondisyon pou fè sèvis Bondye.
20 And you may not have sex relations with your neighbour's wife, making yourself unclean with her.
Piga ou kouche madanm yon frè parèy ou, paske lè nou fè sa, ni ou ni fanm lan, nou pa nan kondisyon pou fè sèvis Bondye.
21 And you may not make any of your children go through the fire as an offering to Molech, and you may not put shame on the name of your God: I am the Lord.
Piga ou janm bay yonn nan pitit fi ou yo tankou ofrann pou yo boule bay zidòl yo rele Molòk la, paske lè sa a w'a fè yo derespekte non Bondye. Se mwen menm ki Seyè a.
22 You may not have sex relations with men, as you do with women: it is a disgusting thing.
Piga yon gason kouche yon lòt gason tankou yo kouche yon fanm: Se bagay Bondye pi pa vle wè.
23 And you may not have sex relations with a beast, making yourself unclean with it; and a woman may not give herself to a beast: it is an unnatural act.
Ni fanm ni gason pa gen dwa kwaze ak zannimo. Se bagay k'ap mete yo nan kondisyon pou yo pa ka fè sèvis Bondye. Se bagay sal nèt.
24 Do not make yourself unclean in any of these ways; for so have those nations whom I am driving out from before you made themselves unclean:
Piga nou janm fè bagay sa yo k'ap mete nou nan kondisyon pou nou pa ka fè sèvis Bondye. Se bagay konsa pèp lòt nasyon ki t'ap viv nan peyi a anvan nou yo te konn fè. Se poutèt sa Seyè a ap mete yo deyò pou nou ka pran plas yo.
25 And the land itself has become unclean; so that I have sent on it the reward of its wrongdoing, and the land itself puts out those who are living in it.
Yo te mete tout peyi a nan move kondisyon ak sa yo t'ap fè a. Se konsa mwen menm Seyè a, m'ap peni peyi a, m'ap fè l' voye moun ki rete sou li yo jete deyò.
26 So then keep my rules and my decisions, and do not do any of these disgusting things, those of you who are Israelites by birth, or any others who are living with you:
Men nou menm, se pou nou kenbe tout lòd ak tout kòmandman mwen ban nou yo. Piga pesonn ni nan nou, ni nan moun lòt nasyon k'ap viv nan mitan nou yo fè ankenn nan bagay mwen pa vle wè yo.
27 (For all these disgusting things were done by the men of this country who were there before you, and the land has been made unclean by them; )
Se paske moun ki te rete nan peyi a anvan nou yo te fè tout kalite bagay sa yo, kifè yo te mete peyi a nan move kondisyon sa a.
28 So that the land may not put you out from it, when you make it unclean, as it put out the nations which were there before you.
Konsa tou, si nou mete peyi a nan move kondisyon, peyi a pral voye nou jete deyò menm jan li te fè l' pou pèp ki te la anvan nou yo.
29 For all those who do any of these disgusting things will be cut off from among their people.
Depi yon moun fè yonn nan bagay sal sa yo, y'ap wete l' nan mitan pèp Bondye a.
30 So then, keep my orders, so that you may not do any of these disgusting things which were done before you, or make yourselves unclean through them: I am the Lord your God.
Epi Seyè a di: -Se pou nou kenbe lòd mwen yo. Pa swiv move mès moun ki te rete nan peyi a anvan nou yo. Pa fè vye bagay sa yo k'ap mete nou nan kondisyon pou nou pa ka fè sèvis Bondye. Se mwen menm ki Seyè a, Bondye nou an!
