< Leviticus 21 >
1 And YHWH says to Moses, “Speak to the priests, sons of Aaron, and you have said to them: No one defiles himself for a [dead] person among his people,
Alò SENYÈ a te pale avèk Moïse. Li te di: “Pale avèk prèt yo, fis Aaron yo. Di yo konsa: ‘Pèsòn pa pou konwonpi kò l avèk yon moun mouri pami pèp li a,
2 except for his relation who [is] near to him: for his mother, and for his father, and for his son, and for his daughter, and for his brother,
sof pou fanmi ki pi prè li yo, tankou manman l, papa l, fis li, fi li ak frè li,
3 and for his sister, the virgin, who is near to him, who has not been to a man; he is defiled for her.
ak pou sè vyèj li, ki prè li, ki pa t gen mari. Pou sila a, li kapab konwonpi kò l.
4 A master [priest] does not defile himself among his people—to defile himself;
Li pa pou konwonpi kò l, akoz li se yon gwo chèf pami pèp li a, e konsa, pou vin degrade tèt li.
5 they do not make baldness on their head, and they do not shave the corner of their beard, and they do not make a cutting in their flesh;
“‘Yo pa pou fè tèt yo kale, ni taye bab yo, ni fè okenn blese nan chè yo.
6 they are holy to their God, and they do not defile the Name of their God, for the fire-offerings of YHWH, bread of their God, they are bringing near, and have been holy.
Yo va rete sen a Bondye pa yo a, e yo p ap konwonpi non Bondye pa yo a, paske se yo ki prezante ofrann dife bay SENYÈ a, manje pou Bondye pa yo a. Alò, fòk yo sen.
7 They do not take a woman of harlotry, or defiled, and they do not take a woman cast out from her husband, for he [is] holy to his God;
“‘Yo pa pou pran yon fanm ki degrade kòm pwostitiye, ni yo pa pou pran yon fanm ki divòse avèk mari li; paske li sen a Bondye pa li a.
8 and you have sanctified him, for he is bringing the bread of your God near. He is holy to you, for I, YHWH, sanctifying you, [am] holy.
Konsa, nou va konsakre li, paske li ofri ou manje Bondye nou an. Li va sen pou nou, paske Mwen, SENYÈ ki sanktifye nou an, Mwen sen.
9 And when a daughter of any priest defiles herself by going whoring—she is defiling her father; she is burned with fire.
“‘Fi a nenpòt prèt, si li degrade tèt li kòm pwostitiye, li degrade papa li. Li va brile nan dife.
10 And the high priest of his brothers, on whose head the anointing oil is poured, and who has consecrated his hand to put on the garments, does not uncover his head, nor tear his garments,
“‘Prèt ki se wo prèt pami frè li yo, sou tèt sila lwil onksyon an te vide a, e sila ki te konsakre pou abiye avèk vètman yo, pa pou dekouvri tèt li, ni chire rad li.
11 nor does he come beside any dead person; he does not defile himself for his father and for his mother;
Li pa pou pwoche okenn moun mouri, ni konwonpi tèt li menm si se pou papa li oswa manman li.
12 nor does he go out from the sanctuary, nor does he defile the sanctuary of his God, for the separation of the anointing oil of his God [is] on him; I [am] YHWH.
Li pa pou sòti nan sanktyè a, ni konwonpi sanktyè Bondye li a, paske konsekrasyon lwil sen an sou li. Mwen se SENYÈ a.
13 And he takes a wife in her virginity;
“‘Li va pran yon madanm ki vyèj.
14 a widow, or cast out, or defiled, [or] a harlot—these he does not take, but he takes a virgin of his own people [for] a wife,
Yon vèv, oswa yon fanm divòse, oswa youn ki degrade kòm pwostitiye, sa yo, li pa kapab pran yo. Men okontrè, fòk li marye ak yon vyèj pami pwòp pèp pa li a.
15 and he does not defile his seed among his people; for I [am] YHWH, sanctifying him.”
Li pa pou degrade desandan li yo pami pwòp pèp li a, paske Mwen se SENYÈ ki fè li sen an.’”
16 And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,
Alò SENYÈ a te pale avèk Moïse. Li te di:
17 “Speak to Aaron, saying, No man of your seed throughout their generations in whom there is blemish draws near to bring the bread of his God near,
“Pale avèk Aaron. Di l: ‘Okenn moun pami nou ki gen yon defo fizik p ap pwoche pou ofri manje bay Bondye li a.
18 for no man in whom [is] a blemish draws near: a man blind, or lame, or disfigured, or deformed,
Paske nenpòt moun ki gen yon defo p ap pwoche: yon nonm avèg, yon bwate, yon nonm ki gen figi defòme, oswa okenn manm kò defòme,
19 or a man in whom there is a breach in the foot, or a breach in the hand,
yon nonm pye kase oswa men kase,
20 or hunchbacked, or a dwarf, or [with] a defect in his eye, or [with] an itch, or [with] a scab, or [with] a broken testicle.
yon moun ki gen boul nan do oswa kata, oubyen yon moun ki gen defo nan zye li, oswa ekzema nan po, kal oswa boul grenn ki donmaje.
21 No man in whom is blemish (of the seed of Aaron the priest) comes near to bring the fire-offerings of YHWH near; blemish [is] in him; he does not come near to bring the bread of his God near.
Okenn moun nan ras Aaron, prèt ki gen defo pa pou pwoche pou fè ofrann SENYÈ a pa dife. Akoz li gen yon defo, li pa pou pwoche pou ofri pen ki pou Bondye li a.
22 Bread of his God—from the most holy things and from the holy things—he eats;
Li kapab manje pen Bondye li a, ni sa ki sen pase tout bagay yo, avèk sa ki sen an.
23 only, he does not come toward the veil, and he does not draw near to the altar; for blemish [is] in him; and he does not defile My sanctuaries; for I [am] YHWH, sanctifying them.”
Se sèlman, li pa pou antre anndan vwal la, ni toupre lotèl la akoz ke li gen yon defo, pou li pa konwonpi sanktyè Mwen yo. Paske Mwen se SENYÈ ki fè yo sen an.’”
24 And Moses speaks to Aaron, and to his sons, and to all the sons of Israel.
Alò, Moïse te pale avèk Aaron, a fis li yo, e a tout fis Israël yo.
