Leviticus 20
1 Yahweh also said this to Moses/me:
Seyè a pale ak Moyiz, li di l' konsa:
2 “Tell the Israeli people, ‘[This is what Yahweh says]: Any Israeli or any foreigner who is living in Israel who sacrifices any of his children to be an offering to the god Molech must be executed. The people of the town must kill him by throwing stones at him.
-Men sa pou ou di moun pèp Izrayèl yo: Depi yon moun bay yonn nan pitit li yo pou sèvi nan sèvis zidòl Molòk, li te mèt moun peyi a osinon moun lòt nasyon k'ap viv nan peyi a, se pou yo touye l'. Wi, tout moun nan peyi a va kalonnen l' wòch jouk li mouri.
3 I will reject [IDM] such people and command that they no longer be allowed to associate with my people.
Mwen menm bò pa m', mwen p'ap okipe l' ankò, m'ap wete l' nan mitan pèp mwen an. Paske li te bay yonn nan pitit li yo pou sèvi nan sèvis Molòk, li mete kay ki apa pou mwen an nan kondisyon yo pa ka fè sèvis ladan l' pou mwen, li derespekte non mwen.
4 If the people of that man’s town ignore it when he kills one of his children to offer him as a sacrifice to Molech, and if they do not execute that person,
Men, si moun ki nan peyi a fèmen je yo sou sa nonm lan fè a, lè li te bay pitit li pou fè sèvis pou Molòk la, si yo pa touye l',
5 I myself will punish that person and his family, and I will command that he no longer be able to associate with my people. And I will do the same thing to any others who do the same thing that he did to worship Molech.
se mwen menm ki p'ap okipe l' ankò, li menm ak tout fanmi l'. M'ap wete yo nan mitan pèp mwen an, ni li, ni nenpòt lòt moun k'ap vire do ban mwen tankou l' pou y al sèvi Molòk.
6 ‘will reject [IDM] those who go to those who (consult/talk with) the spirits of dead people and fortune-tellers to seek advice from them. I will command that they no longer be allowed to associate with my people.
Si yon moun vire do ban mwen poul al konsilte moun k'ap rele mò nan tab tounant, osinon moun k'ap fè divinò, mwen p'ap okipe l' ankò, m'ap wete l' nan mitan pèp mwen an.
7 ‘Set yourselves apart and be holy, because I, Yahweh your God, am holy, [and I want you to be like me].
Se pou nou viv apa pou mwen. Piga nou fè bagay mwen di nou pa fè, paske se mwen menm ki Seyè a, Bondye nou an.
8 Obey carefully [DOU] all my laws. I am Yahweh, the one will cause you to be holy.
Se pou nou kenbe lòd mwen ban nou yo, se pou nou swiv yo. Se mwen menm Seyè a, se mwen menm k'ap fè nou sèvi m' nan tou sa n'ap fè!
9 ‘If anyone curses his father or his mother, he must be executed. He himself will be responsible for his own death [MTY].
Depi yon moun bay manman l' osinon papa l' madichon, se pou yo touye l'. Paske li madichonnen manman l' ak papa l', se li menm sèl kab reskonsab lanmò li.
10 ‘If a man commits adultery with some other man’s wife, both of them, the man and the woman, must be executed.
Depi yon nonm fè adiltè ak madanm yon frè parèy li, se pou yo touye yo, ni li ni madanm lan.
11 ‘If a man has sex with [EUP] one of his father’s wives, he has disgraced his father. So both that man and that woman must be executed, they will be responsible for their own deaths [MTY].
Depi yon nonm kouche madanm papa l', li jete dezonè sou papa l'. Se pou yo touye yo, ni li ni madanm lan. Lè konsa, se yo menm sèl k'ap reskonsab lanmò yo.
12 ‘If a man has sex with [EUP] his daughter-in-law, both of them must be executed. What they have done is very perverse; and they will be responsible for their own deaths [MTY].
Depi yon moun kouche bèlfi li, se pou yo touye tou de. Sa yo fè a se yon wont. Lè konsa, se yo menm sèl k'ap reskonsab lanmò yo.
13 ‘If two men have sex together, they have done something detestable. They must both be executed, they will be responsible for their own deaths [MTY].
Depi yon nonm kouche yon nonm tankou li ta fè l' ak yon fanm, sa yo fè la a se bagay Bondye pi pa vle we. Se pou yo touye tou de. Lè konsa, se yo menm sèl k'ap reskonsab lanmò yo.
14 ‘If a man marries both a woman and her mother, that is a wicked thing. All three of them must be burned to death, in order that such a wicked practice will not [continue to be done] among you.
Si yon nonm marye ak yon fi ansanm ak manman fi a tou, se bagay ki sal nèt yo fè la a. Se pou yo boule tou twa nan dife. Bagay konsa pa fèt pou fèt nan mitan nou.
15 ‘If a man has sex with an animal, he must be executed, and you must also kill that animal.
Si yon nonm kwaze ak yon zannimo, se pou yo touye l', li menm ansanm ak zannimo a. Wi, se pou yo touye yo.
16 ‘[Similarly], if a woman has sex with an animal, both the woman and that animal must be killed [DOU]; they are responsible for their own deaths [MTY].
Si yon fanm chache yon jan pou li kwaze ak yon zannimo, se pou yo touye l', li menm ansanm ak zannimo a. Wi, se pou yo touye yo. Lè konsa, se yo menm sèl k'ap reskonsab lanmò yo.
17 ‘If a man marries his sister, the daughter of either his mother or his father, and they have sex together, that is disgraceful. They must not be allowed to continue to associate with my people. And because he has disgraced his sister, he must be punished.
Si yon nonm marye ak sè li, li te mèt pitit fi manman l' osinon pitit fi papa l', si yo kouche yonn ak lòt, yo avili tèt yo devan tout pèp Izrayèl la. Sa yo fè a se yon gwo wont. Se pou yo chase yo nan mitan pèp la. Li te kouche sè li, se pou li peye pou sa l' fè a.
18 ‘If a man has sex with [EUP, DOU] a woman during her monthly menstrual period, they have both revealed why she was bleeding, so both of them must not be allowed to associate with my people any more.
Si yon nonm kouche yon fanm ki gen règ li, se pou yo wete yo nan mitan pèp la.
19 ‘Do not have sex with the sister of either your father or your mother, because that would be disgracing someone who is a close relative. And you and the woman must both be punished.
Si yon nonm kouche matant li, matant bò papa l' osinon matant bò manman l', li kouche pwòp fanmi l'. Se pou yo fè tou de peye pou sa yo fè a.
20 ‘If a man has sex [EUP] with his aunt, he has dishonored his uncle. I will punish both of them by causing them to die without having any children.
Si yon nonm kouche madanm tonton li, li jete dezonè sou tonton li. Lè konsa, ni li, ni madanm lan, yo gen pou peye pou sa yo fè a. Y'a mouri san fè pitit.
21 ‘If a man marries his brother’s wife [while his brother is still living], that is disgraceful. He has dishonored his brother; and they both will die without having any children.
Si yon nonm marye ak madanm frè li, sa l' fè a se yon bagay k'ap mete l' nan kondisyon li pa ka sèvi Bondye, li jete dezonè sou frè li. Se poutèt sa, ni li ni madanm lan va rete san fè pitit.
22 ‘Obey all my laws/decrees [DOU] carefully, in order that you will not be forced to leave [MET] the land to which I am bringing you.
Seyè a di ankò: -Se pou nou kenbe tout lòd mwen yo ak tout kòmandman mwen ban nou yo, se pou nou swiv yo. Konsa, peyi kote mwen pral mennen nou pou nou rete a p'ap voye nou jete deyò.
23 Do not imitate/adopt the customs of the people of the land from which I will expel them as you advance. I hated them because they did all those things.
Piga nou swiv move mès moun lòt nasyon mwen te mete deyò pou nou te ka antre nan peyi a. Yo te ban m' degoutans ak tout move bagay yo t'ap fè a.
24 But I said to you, “You will take their land from them; I will give it to you to be yours, a land that is very fertile [IDM]. I am Yahweh your God, who has set you apart from the people of other nations.”
Men, mwen te pwomèt mwen t'ap ban nou peyi sa a pou peyi pa nou. Se yon peyi kote lèt ak siwo myèl koule tankou dlo. Wi, se mwen menm Seyè a, Bondye nou an, ki te chwazi nou nan mitan tout pèp yo pou mete nou apa.
25 ‘So you must distinguish between birds and animals that are unacceptable to me and those that are acceptable to me. Do not defile yourselves by [eating] birds or animals, or anything that scurries across the ground, that I have said are unacceptable for you.
Se konsa, koulye a, piga nou mele zannimo nou gen dwa manje ak zannimo nou pa gen dwa manje, zwazo nou gen dwa manje ak zwazo nou pa gen dwa manje. Pa kite ankenn zannimo ni ankenn zwazo nou pa gen dwa manje, ni bèt k'ap trennen sou vant mwen menm mwen di ki pa bon pou nou, mete nou nan kondisyon pou nou pa ka fè sèvis mwen.
26 You must behave in ways that I consider to be holy, because I, Yahweh, am holy, and I have set you apart from the [ungodly people of other] nations to belong to me.
Se pou nou viv apa pou mwen, paske mwen menm se yon Bondye apa mwen ye. Mwen menm Seyè a, mwen mete nou apa nan mitan tout lòt pèp yo pou nou ka pou mwen nèt.
27 ‘You must execute any man or woman among you who (consults/talks with) the spirits of dead people or who is a fortune-teller. Kill them by [throwing] stones at them; but they will be responsible for their own deaths.’”
Depi yon nonm osinon yon fanm gen lespri yon mò sou li, osinon yon lòt lespri k'ap fè l' fè divinò, se pou yo touye yo. Y'a touye yo ak kout wòch. Lè konsa, se yo menm sèl k'ap reskonsab lanmò yo.
