Leviticus 19
1 The Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
Alò, SENYÈ a te pale ak Moïse. Li te di:
2 Speak to the entire assembly of the sons of Israel, and you shall say to them: Be holy, for 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 each one fear his father and his mother. Observe 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 Do not be willing to convert to idols, neither should you make molten gods for yourselves. 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 you immolate a victim of peace offerings to the Lord, so that he may be appeased,
“‘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 as when it was immolated, and the next day. Then whatever will remain on 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 anyone, after two days, will have eaten from it, 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 he shall bear his iniquity, for he has polluted what is holy to the Lord. And that soul shall perish from 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 you will have harvested the grain fields of your land, you shall not cut it down to the surface of the land, even to the ground, nor shall you gather the remaining ears of grain.
“‘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 shall you gather the clusters or individual grapes which fall down in your vineyard, but you shall leave them for paupers and travelers 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 anyone deceive his neighbor.
“‘Nou pa pou vòlè, ni twonpe, ni manti youn ak lòt.
12 You shall not commit perjury in my name, nor shall you pollute the name of your 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 You shall not slander your neighbor, nor shall you oppress him by violence. The wages of a hired hand, you shall not delay with you until tomorrow.
“‘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 You shall not speak evil of the deaf, nor shall you place a stumbling block before the blind, but you shall fear the Lord your God, for 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 You shall not do what is unjust, nor shall you judge unjustly. You shall not consider the reputation of the poor, nor shall you honor the countenance of the powerful. Judge your neighbor justly.
“‘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 You shall not be a detractor, nor a whisperer, among the people. You shall not stand against the blood of your neighbor. 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 You shall not hate your brother in your heart, but reprove him openly, lest you have sin over 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 Do not seek revenge, neither should you be mindful of the injury of your fellow citizens. You shall love your friend as yourself. 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 Observe my laws. You shall not cause your cattle to breed with other kinds of animals. You shall not sow your field with diverse seeds. You shall not be clothed with a garment which has been woven from two things.
“‘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 will have slept in sexual intercourse with a woman, who is a servant and who is also able to be married, and yet he has not redeemed her with a price, nor paid to set her free, they both shall be beaten, but they shall not die, for 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 But, for his offense, 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 win his favor again for 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 will have entered into the land, and will have planted in it fruit trees, you shall take away their first-fruits; the fruit that germinates shall be unclean to you, neither shall you eat from these.
“‘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 for 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 produce, gathering the fruits which are brought forth. 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 practice divination, nor the observation of 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 And you shall not cut the hair of your head circularly, nor shave your beard.
“‘Nou pa pou koupe kwen cheve tèt nou, ni taye sou kote bab nou.
28 You shall not cut your flesh for the dead, and you shall not make other figures or marks on yourself. 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 Do not prostitute your daughter, lest the land be contaminated and filled with crimes.
“‘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 Observe my Sabbaths, and be apprehensive toward my Sanctuary. I am the Lord.
“‘Nou va kenbe Saba Mwen yo, e nou va onore sanktyè Mwen an. Mwen se SENYÈ a.
31 Do not turn aside to astrologers, nor consult with soothsayers, so as to be polluted through 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 in the presence of a gray-haired head, and honor the reputation of an elder, and fear the Lord your 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 newcomer lives in your land and abides among you, do not reproach him,
“‘Lè yon etranje rete avèk nou nan peyi nou, nou pa pou fè l tò.
34 but let him be among you like one native born. And you shall love him as yourselves. For you were also newcomers 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 be willing to accomplish iniquity in judgment, in lengths, in weights, in quantities.
Nou pa pou fè move jijman, ni nan mezire longè, pwa, oubyen kapasite.
36 Let the scales be just and the weights equal, let the dry measure be just and the liquid measure be equal. I am the Lord your God, who led you away from 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 accomplish 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.’”
