Leviticus 16
1 After the two sons of Aaron died because they burned incense to Yahweh [in a manner that was contrary to what Yahweh commanded], Yahweh spoke to Moses/me.
Seyè a pale ak Moyiz apre lanmò de pitit gason Arawon yo ki te mouri lè yo te ofri yon dife ki pa t' bon bay Seyè a.
2 He said to him/me, “Warn your [older] brother Aaron that he must not enter the Very Holy Place inside the curtain that is in the Sacred Tent whenever he wants to, because the cover of the sacred chest is there. That is the place where the priest (makes atonement for/requests me to forgive) sins. I am present in the cloud that is over the cover of the sacred chest. If Aaron goes in that room when it is not the proper time, he will die!
Seyè a di Moyiz konsa: -Pale ak Arawon, frè ou la, pou l' pa antre nenpòt kilè, nenpòt ki jan dèyè rido a nan kote ki apa pou mwen an, devan kouvèti espesyal ki sou Bwat Kontra a. Paske se la, sou kouvèti ki sou bwat kontra a, mwen parèt nan yon nwaj. Si li pa swiv lòd sa a, li ka mouri.
3 “When Aaron enters the Sacred Tent area, he must bring a bull that [will be killed] to become an offering/sacrifice for sins, and a ram [to be killed] to be an offering that will be completely burned [on the altar].
Lè l'ap antre nan kote ki apa nèt pou Bondye a, li gen pou l' pote yon jenn ti towo ak yon belye. Ti towo a va sèvi pou mande Bondye padon, epi y'a boule belye a nèt pou Seyè a.
4 Then he must bathe his whole body, and put on the linen underwear/undershorts and the linen gown. He must tie the linen sash/waistbands around his waist and wrap the turban around his head. Those are his sacred garments.
Men ki jan pou Arawon abiye lè l'ap antre nan kay Bondye a. L'a mete rad seremoni pou prèt yo mete lè y'ap fè sèvis pou Bondye. L'a mete chemiz twal fen blan an ak kalson twal fen blan an, l'a mare sentiwon twal fen blan an nan ren l' ak mouchwa tèt twal fen blan an nan tèt li. L'a lave kò l' nan gwo dlo anvan la mete yo sou li.
5 The Israeli people must then bring to him two male goats [to be killed] as an offering/sacrifice for sin, and a ram to be [killed and] burned completely [on the altar].
Moun pèp Izrayèl yo va bay Arawon de bouk kabrit ak yon belye. Bouk kabrit yo va sèvi ofrann pou mande Bondye fè gras. Belye a menm, y'a boule l' nèt pou Seyè a.
6 “Aaron must offer the bull [to me] to be a sacrifice in order that (I will forgive his sins and the sins of his family/his sins and the sins of his family will be forgiven).
Arawon va ofri ti towo bèf la pou yo touye l' pou wete peche l' yo ak peche fanmi l' yo. Se konsa l'a fè sèvis pou mande Bondye padon an pou li ak pou fanmi l'.
7 Then he must bring the two male goats to me at the entrance to the Sacred Tent.
Apre sa, l'a pran de bouk kabrit yo, l'a mennen yo devan pòt Tant Randevou a. L'a prezante yo devan lotèl Bondye a.
8 He must (cast lots/throw down stones that have been marked) to determine which goat will be [sacrificed] to me, and which will be the goat that will be set free.
Apre sa, l'a tire osò ak de ti wòch, yonn make: Pou Seyè a, lòt la: Pou Azazèl.
9 Aaron must bring to me the goat that was chosen to be sacrificed. It will be an offering for the people’s sins.
Arawon va touye bouk kabrit ki soti pou Seyè a, l'a ofri l' pou wete peche.
10 Aaron must also bring to me the other goat, but it is not to be killed. It will be freed while it is still alive. As a result of Aaron sending it into the desert, the people’s sins will be forgiven.
Men, l'a pran bouk kabrit ki soti pou Azazèl la, y'a prezante l' tou vivan devan Seyè a. Apre sa, lè y'a fin fè sèvis sou li pou wete peche pou pèp la, y'a lage l' nan dezè a pou l al jwenn Azazèl.
11 “Then Aaron must bring the young bull to me, to be an offering/sacrifice for himself and for his family. He must slaughter that bull to be an offering for their sins, [and he must drain the blood into a basin].
Lèfini, Arawon va touye ti towo bèf li te ofri pou wete peche pa l' yo. L'a fè sèvis pou mande Bondye padon pou peche pa l' yo ansanm ak peche fanmi l' yo.
12 Then he must take some burning coals from the [bronze] altar and put them in the incense burner. Then he must fill his hands with fragrant finely-ground incense. Then he must take the incense and the incense burner inside the curtain into the Very Holy Place [of the Sacred Tent].
Apre sa, l'a pran yon recho, l'a plen l' chabon dife tou limen la jwenn sou lotèl la, l'a pran de ponyen lansan santi bon an poud. L'a pote recho a ak lansan an antre nan kote ki apa nèt pou Seyè a.
13 There he must put the incense on the burning coals, with the result that a cloud of burning incense will rise up over the lid of the sacred chest. If he obeys these instructions, he will not die [like Korah’s two sons did because of offering incense incorrectly] (OR, [because of being in God’s presence]).
Rive la, devan lotèl Seyè a, l'a mete lansan an sou dife a, lafimen lansan an va kouvri kouvèti Bwat Kontra a nèt. Konsa, li p'ap ka wè l', li p'ap mouri.
14 Then he must dip his finger into [the basin] and sprinkle some blood on the lid of the sacred chest, and also sprinkle some blood seven times against the front of the chest.
L'a tranpe dwèt li nan san ti towo bèf la, l'a voye san an sou bò devan kouvèti Bwat Kontra a, sou bò solèy leve. Apre sa, l'a voye san an sèt fwa devan kouvèti a avèk dwèt li.
15 [“Aaron must then go outside the Sacred Tent] and slaughter the goat to be an offering for the sins of the people. Then he must bring its blood into the Very Holy Place behind the curtain. There he must sprinkle [some of] that blood on the lid of the sacred chest and against the front of the chest, like he did with the bull’s blood.
Se lè sa a l'a touye kabrit pou wete peche pèp la. L'a pran san an, l'a pote l' anndan kote ki apa nèt pou Seyè a, l'a voye l' sou kouvèti a ak devan kouvèti a, menm jan li te fè pou san ti towo bèf la.
16 By doing that, he will purify the Very Holy Place. And he must sprinkle more of the blood on the Sacred Tent, because the tent is in the midst of the camp of the Israeli people who have become unacceptable to me [because of their sins].
Se konsa, poutèt tout peche ak tout mechanste pèp la fè yo, epi poutèt moun nan pèp la ki pa nan kondisyon pou fè sèvis Bondye, Arawon va fè sèvis pou mande Bondye fè gras pou kote ki apa nèt pou li a. L'a fè sa tou pou Tant Randevou a, paske tant lan kanpe nan mitan pèp la ak tout moun nan pèp la ki pa nan kondisyon pou fè sèvis Bondye.
17 When Aaron goes into the Very Holy Place [in the Sacred Tent] to purify it, no one else is permitted to enter [the other part of] the Sacred Tent. Only after Aaron has performed rituals to enable me to forgive him and his family, and all the Israeli people, is any priest permitted to enter the Sacred Tent.
Depi Arawon antre nan kote ki apa nèt pou Seyè a pou l' fè sèvis pou mande padon an jouk lè li soti, lòt moun pa gen dwa anndan tant Randevou a. L'a fè sèvis la pou li menm, pou fanmi l' ak pou tout moun pèp Izrayèl yo.
18 “Then Aaron must go outside the tent to purify my altar. He must do this by smearing some of the blood from the bull and some of the blood from the goat on each of the projections at the corners of the altar.
Lèfini, l'a soti, l'a ale bò kote lotèl pou boule ofrann lan, l'a fè sèvis pou wete peche pou li tou. Epi, l'a pran nan san ti towo bèf la ak nan san bouk kabrit la, l'a mete sou kat kòn ki sou kat kwen lotèl la.
19 Then Aaron must dip his finger into the [basin of] blood and sprinkle some of the blood over the altar seven times. By doing that, he will cleanse it from being unholy [because of the sins] of the Israeli people, and it will become holy again.
Lèfini, avèk dwèt li, l'a voye san an sèt fwa sou lotèl la. Se konsa, poutèt moun nan pèp Izrayèl la ki pa nan kondisyon pou fè sèvis pou Bondye, l'a fè sèvis pou mete lotèl la nan kondisyon pou fè sèvis Bondye, l'a mete l' apa pou Bondye.
20 “When Aaron has finished purifying the Very Holy Place [inside the Sacred Tent] and all of the Sacred Tent and the altar, he must bring the goat that was chosen to be set free.
Lè Arawon va fin fè sèvis pou wete peche pou kote ki apa nèt pou Bondye a, pou Tant Randevou a ak pou lotèl la, l'a fè yo pwoche bouk kabrit vivan yo te chwazi pou Azazèl la devan Seyè a.
21 He must put both of his hands on the head of the goat and confess all the sins [DOU] of the Israeli people. By doing that, he will put [the guilt of] their sins on the head of the goat. Then he must give the goat to a man who is chosen, and that man will send the goat out into the desert.
L'a mete tou de men l' yo sou tèt kabrit la, l'a rekonèt sou li tout peche, tout mechanste ak tout movezak pèp Izrayèl la te fè. Se konsa l'a mete tout peche sa yo sou tèt kabrit la. Lèfini, l'a fè moun ki chwazi pou sa a mennen kabrit la al lage l' nan dezè a.
22 [It is as though] the goat will carry away into the desert [the guilt for] the sins of all the people.
Bouk la va pote tout peche yo ale sou li yon zòn kote pa gen moun rete la.
23 “When Aaron approaches the Sacred Tent, he must take off the linen clothes that he wore when he [previously] entered the Very Holy Place, and he must leave those clothes there.
Apre sa, Arawon va antre ankò nan Tant Randevou a. L'a wete rad fen blan li te mete sou li pou li te ka antre nan kote ki apa nèt pou Seyè a, l'a kite yo la.
24 Then he must bathe in a sacred place, put on his regular/ordinary clothes, and sacrifice the animals that will be burned completely on the altar for his own sins and for the sins of the Israeli people. By doing that he will enable me to forgive him and them.
L'a pran yon bon beny nan kote yo mete apa pou sa a, l'a mete lòt rad sou li. Apre sa, l'a soti, l'a ofri bèt pou yo boule nèt yo pou peche pa l' yo ak pou tout peche pèp la. L'a fè sèvis pou mande Bondye padon.
25 He must also burn on the altar all the fat of the bull and the goat that were sacrificed.
L'a pran grès bèt yo te ofri pou peche a, l'a boule yo sou lotèl la.
26 “The man who was chosen to send the other goat into the desert and free it there must afterwards wash his clothes and bathe. Then he may return to the camp.
Nonm ki te al lage bouk kabrit la pou Azazèl nan dezè a gen pou l' lave tout rad ki sou li, epi pou l' pran yon bon beny nan gwo dlo, anvan li tounen nan kan kote moun yo rete a.
27 The carcasses of the bull and the goat that were slaughtered to be an offering/sacrifice for the people’s sins, whose blood was taken inside the Very Holy Place to enable Yahweh to forgive the Israeli people, must be carried outside the camp and burned. The hides/skins of the animals, the inner organs, and the dung must also be burned.
Y'a pran towo bèf ak kabrit yo te touye pou wete peche a, y'a pote yo ale andeyò limit kan kote moun yo rete a, epi y'a boule po vyann yo ansanm ak tout tripay yo nèt. Se san bèt sa yo yo te pote nan kote ki apa nèt pou Seyè a pou fè sèvis pou mande padon pou peche.
28 The man who burns those things must then wash his clothes and bathe before he returns to the camp.
Moun ki te al boule yo a va gen pou l' lave rad li tou, pou l' benyen nèt nan gwo dlo anvan li tounen nan kan kote moun yo rete a.
29 “On (October/the month after the dry season ends), on the day that I have appointed, you all must (fast/abstain from eating food) and not do any work. This is a rule/law that will never end. It must be obeyed by you people who have been Israelis all your lives, and also by foreigners who are living among you.
Men regleman pou nou fè tout tan tout tan jouk sa kaba. Sou dizyèm jou nan setyèm mwa a, tout moun pèp Izrayèl yo ansanm ak tout moun lòt nasyon k'ap viv nan mitan nou yo va fè jèn, yo p'ap fè ankenn travay jou sa a.
30 On that day, Aaron will perform rituals to enable me to forgive you all, and then I will cleanse/free you all from [the guilt of] all your sins and you will become acceptable to me.
Paske, jou sa a y'a fè sèvis pou wete yo anba tout peche yo, pou yo ka parèt nan bon kondisyon devan Seyè a.
31 That will be a day for you to rest and not do any work, like the Sabbath days, and you must (fast/abstain from eating food) all that day. That is a permanent command/law for you all to obey.
Jou sa a va yon jou espesyal pou nou fè jèn, yon jou pou nou pa travay menm. Se lòd mwen ban nou, se pou nou toujou fè sèvis sa a.
32 In future years, [after Aaron has died], this ritual/ceremony to enable me to forgive you all [DOU] will be performed by the Supreme Priest who is anointed [with olive oil] and appointed to serve instead of his ancestor Aaron. He must put on the sacred clothes made of linen
Se va reskonsablite granprèt yo va mete apa pou fè sèvis Seyè a nan plas papa l' la pou li fè sèvis pou mande Bondye padon, l'a mete rad fen blan yo, rad pou prèt yo mete lè y'ap fè sèvis.
33 and offer sacrifices to purify the Very Holy Place, all of the Sacred Tent, the altar, the priests, and all the Israel people [like Aaron did].
L'a fè sèvis pou wete peche pou kote ki apa nèt pou Bondye a, pou Tant Randevou a ak pou lotèl la, l'a fè ofrann pou prèt yo ak pou tout pèp Izrayèl la.
34 This will be a permanent command/law for you to obey once every year, to enable me to forgive you Israeli people for the sins that you have committed.” Moses/I obeyed all those instructions/commands that Yahweh had given to him/me.
Men regleman pou nou swiv tout tan tout tan. Se yon sèvis pou yo fè yon fwa chak lanne pou mande padon pou peche pèp Izrayèl la. Yo te fè tout bagay jan Seyè a te bay Moyiz lòd fè a.
