Egzòd 29

1 Men sa ou gen pou fè pou mete Arawon ak pitit gason l' yo apa pou mwen pou yo ka sèvi m' prèt. Pran yon jenn ti towo bèf ak de belye mouton ki san defo.

“This is what you must do to dedicate Aaron and his sons to serve me [by being] priests: Select one young bull and two rams that do not have any defects.

2 W'a pran bon farin frans, w'a fè kèk pen san ledven, kèk gato san ledven, men ak lwil melanje nan pa t' la. W'a fè tou kèk gato plat san ledven wouze ak lwil.

Bake three [kinds of bread] using finely-ground wheat flour, but without yeast: Bake some loaves that do not have any olive oil in them, bake some loaves that have olive oil in the dough, and bake some thin wafers that will be smeared with olive oil [after they are baked].

3 Mete yo nan yon panyen. Ofri yo ban mwen nan panyen an ansanm ak ti towo a ak de belye mouton yo.

Put them in a basket and offer them [to me] when you sacrifice the young bull and the two rams.

4 W'a fè Arawon ansanm ak pitit gason l' yo vanse jouk devan pòt Tant Randevou a. W'a benyen yo nan dlo.

Take Aaron and his sons to the entrance of the Sacred Tent, and wash them [ritually].

5 Apre sa, w'a pran rad yo, w'a biye Arawon. W'a mete chemiz la, rad la, jile a ak plastwon an sou li. W'a mare sentiwon an nan ren li.

Then put the special clothes on Aaron—the long-sleeved tunic/gown, the robe that will be worn underneath the sacred apron, the sacred apron, the sacred pouch, and the sash/waistband.

6 W'a mete mouchwa a nan tèt li. W'a mare plak ki make Apa pou Seyè a, sou mouchwa a.

Place the turban on his head, and fasten to the turban the ornament that has the words ‘Dedicated to Yahweh’ engraved on it.

7 Lèfini, w'a pran lwil pou mete moun apa a, w'a vide l' sou tèt Arawon. Konsa, w'a mete l' apa pou mwen.

Then take the oil and pour some on his head to (dedicate him/set him apart).

8 W'a fè pitit li yo pwoche, w'a mete chemiz yo sou yo.

Then bring his sons and put the long-sleeved tunics/gowns on them.

9 W'a pase sentiwon nan ren yo, w'a mete bonnèt yo nan tèt yo. Se yo menm k'ap sèvi m' prèt dapre yon lwa ki la pou tout tan. Se konsa w'a bay Arawon ak pitit gason l' yo pouvwa pou fè sèvis Bondye.

Put the sashes/waistbands around their waists and the caps on their heads. That is the ritual by which you are to (dedicate them/set them apart) to be priests. Aaron and his male descendants must serve me [by being] priests forever.

10 Mennen towo bèf la devan Tant Randevou a. Arawon ak pitit gason l' yo va mete men yo sou tèt li.

“Then bring the young bull to the entrance of the Sacred Tent. Tell Aaron and his sons to put their hands on the head of the young bull.

11 W'a touye towo a la devan Seyè a, devan pòt Tant Randevou a.

Then, while they do that, kill the young bull [by slitting its throat], and catch/drain the blood in a bowl.

12 W'a tranpe dwèt ou nan san towo a. W'a mete ti degout san sou kat kòn lòtèl la. Apre sa, w'a vide tout rès san an atè nan pye lòtèl la.

Take some of that blood with your finger and smear it on the projections of the altar. Throw/Splash the rest of the blood against the base of the altar.

13 Lèfini, w'a pran grès ki vlope tripay yo, mas grès ki sou fwa a ansanm ak de wonyon yo ak tout grès yo, w'a ofri yo ban mwen. W'a boule yo nèt sou lòtèl la.

Take all the fat that covers the inner organs of the young bull, the best part of the liver, and the two kidneys with the fat on them, and burn all these on the altar [as an offering to me].

14 Men w'a pran tout vyann lan, po a ak tout tripay la, w'a boule yo andeyò limit kote nou rete a. Se va yon ofrann bèt y'ap touye pou Bondye ki va sèvi pou wete peche moun fè san yo pa konnen.

But the meat of the young bull and its hide and intestines must be burned outside the camp. That will be an offering to forgive the guilt of your sins.

15 W'a pran yonn nan belye mouton yo. Arawon ak pitit gason l' yo va mete men yo sou tèt li.

“Then select one of the rams, and tell Aaron and his sons to put their hands on the head of the ram.

16 W'a touye l', w'a pran san an, w'a vide l' tout arebò lòtèl la.

Then kill the ram [by slitting its throat]. Catch/Drain some of the blood and splash it against all four sides of the altar.

17 W'a dekoupe belye a an divès moso. W'a lave tonbe a ansanm ak pye yo. W'a mete yo anwo moso vyann yo ansanm ak tèt la.

Then cut the ram into pieces. Wash its inner organs and its rear legs and put those with the head

18 W'a ofri tout belye a ban mwen. W'a boule l' nèt sou lòtèl la. Sa se yon ofrann bèt w'a boule nèt pou Seyè a, yon ofrann bèt ki fèt pou boule nèt nan dife, yon ofrann bèt k'ap fè Seyè a plezi ak bon sant li.

and burn those pieces [completely] on the altar with the rest of the ram. That will be an offering to me, Yahweh, and the smell will please me.

19 Apre sa, pran lòt belye mouton an. Arawon ak pitit gason l' yo va mete men yo sou tèt li.

“Take the other ram [that was selected for these rituals], and tell Aaron and his sons to put their hands on the ram’s head.

20 W'a touye l', w'a pran ti gout nan san li, w'a mete l' sou tete zòrèy dwat Arawon ak sou tete zòrèy dwat pitit gason l' yo, sou gwo pous men dwat yo ak sou gwo zòtèy pye dwat yo. W'a pran rès san an, w'a vide l' tout arebò lòtèl la.

Then kill the ram by slitting its throat, and drain the blood [into a bowl]. Smear some of the blood on the lobe of the right ears of Aaron and his sons, and on the thumbs of their right hands, and on the big toes of their right feet. Throw/Splash the rest of the blood against the four sides of the altar.

21 Pran ti gout nan san ki sou lòtèl la ansanm ak ti gout nan lwil pou mete moun apa a, voye yo sou Arawon ak sou rad li yo, sou pitit gason l' yo ak sou rad yo tou. Konsa, w'a mete Arawon ak pitit gason l' yo ansanm ak tout rad yo apa pou mwen nèt.

Wipe up some of the blood that is on the altar, mix it with some of the oil for anointing, and sprinkle it on Aaron and his clothes, and on his sons and their clothes. By doing that, you will dedicate them and their clothes [to me].

22 Wete tout grès dezyèm belye mouton an: ke a ak tout grès li, grès ki vlope tripay yo, moso grès ki sou fwa a, de wonyon yo ak tout grès yo, ansanm ak jigo dwat la, paske se yon belye k'ap sèvi nan sèvis pou mete prèt yo apa a.

“Also, cut off the ram’s fat and its fat tail and the fat that covers the inner organs, the best part of the liver, the two kidneys with the fat on them, and the right thigh.

23 Nan panyen pen san ledven ki devan Seyè a, w'a pran yon pen antye, yon gato fèt ak lwil ak yon pen plat.

Take also one of each of the kinds of bread [that was baked]—one made with no oil, one with oil, and one thin wafer.

24 W'a mete tout bagay sa yo nan men Arawon ak nan men pitit gason l' yo. W'a mete yo apa pou sèvis mwen, w'a fè yo balanse l' devan Seyè a tankou yon ofrann.

Put all these things in the hands of Aaron and his sons. [Then tell them to] lift them up [high] to dedicate them to me.

25 Lèfini, pran manje a nan men yo, boule l' sou lòtèl la, anwo ofrann ki boule deja a, pou l' fè Seyè a plezi ak bon sant li. Se va yon ofrann pou Seyè a ki fèt pou boule nèt nan dife.

Then take them from their hands and burn them on the altar, on top of the other things [that were placed there]. That [also] will be an offering to me, and its smell will please me.

26 Pran vyann pwatrin belye ki te sèvi nan sèvis pou mete Arawon apa a, w'a balanse l' devan Seyè a tankou yon ofrann. Se va pòsyon pa ou la sa.

Then take the meat of the ribs of the second ram that was killed, and lift it up [high] as an offering to me. But then this part of the animal will be for you [to eat].

27 W'a pran vyann pwatrin belye ki te sèvi nan sèvis pou mete Arawon ak pitit gason l' yo apa a, w'a mete yo apa pou Seyè a. W'a balanse yo devan Seyè a tankou yon ofrann. W'a fè menm bagay la tou pou jigo w'ap wete pou prèt yo.

Then take the meat of the ribs, the other thigh of the first ram that was sacrificed to (dedicate/set apart) the priests, and the ram whose other parts were lifted high to show that they were an offering to me; and set the meat of the ribs and thigh apart for Aaron and his sons, for them to eat.

28 Dapre lòd mwen bay pèp Izrayèl pou tout tan an, moso vyann sa yo va pou Arawon ak pou pitit gason l' yo. Se va yon kado pèp Izrayèl la pral blije fè. Se pòsyon yo va toujou wete pou prèt yo, pòsyon pèp Izrayèl la va toujou bay nan ofrann y'ap fè pou di mèsi. Se kado y'a bay Seyè a.

In the future, whenever the Israeli people present to me, Yahweh, offerings to maintain fellowship with me, the ribs and the thigh [of animals that they sacrifice] will be for Aaron and his male descendants [to eat].

29 Lè Arawon va mouri, rad sèvis li yo va rete pou pitit li yo. Se rad sa yo y'a mete sou yo lè y'ap vide lwil sou tèt yo pou mete yo apa, lè y'ap ba yo pouvwa pou fè sèvis Bondye.

“After Aaron [dies], the special clothes that he wore will belong to his sons. They are to wear those clothes when they are (set apart/dedicated) [to become priests].

30 Pitit Arawon ki va pran plas Arawon nan sèvis Seyè a va mete rad yo sou li pandan sèt jou, epi l'a antre nan tant lan pou fè sèvis li nan kote ki apa pou Bondye a.

Aaron’s son who becomes The Supreme Priest and enters the Sacred Tent and performs rituals in the Holy Place must [stay in the Sacred Tent], wearing these special clothes, for seven days.

31 W'a pran belye mouton ki te sèvi nan sèvis pou mete apa a, w'a fè kwit vyann li yon kote ki apa pou Bondye.

“Take the meat of the other ram that was sacrificed to (set apart/dedicate) Aaron and his sons, and boil it in the courtyard.

32 Arawon ak pitit gason l' yo va manje vyann belye a ansanm ak pen ki nan panyen an. y'a rete bò pòt devan Tant Randevou a.

After it is cooked, Aaron and his sons must eat it, along with the bread that is left in the basket, at the entrance of the Sacred Tent.

33 y'a manje manje ki te sèvi nan sèvis yo fè pou mande Bondye padon pou peche yo fè san yo pa konnen, sèvis yo te fè lè yo t'ap mete yo apa, lè yo t'ap resevwa pouvwa pou fè sèvis Bondye a. Se prèt yo ase ki ka manje manje sa yo, paske se manje yo mete apa pou Bondye.

They must eat the meat of the ram that was sacrificed to forgive them for [their sins] when they were dedicated to do this work. They are the only ones who are permitted to eat this meat. [Those who are not priests are not allowed to eat it], because it is dedicated to me.

34 Si gen rès nan vyann lan ak nan pen an ki rete apre yo fin manje, nan denmen maten w'a boule l' nan dife. Piga pesonn manje li, paske se manje yo mete apa pou Bondye.

If any of this meat or some of the bread is not eaten that night, no one is permitted to eat any of it the next day. It must be completely burned, because it is sacred/dedicated to me.

35 W'a fè tou sa m' te ba ou lòd fè pou Arawon ansanm ak pitit gason l' yo. W'a pase sèt jou ap fè sèvis pou mete yo apa pou sèvis mwen.

“Those are the rituals that you(sg) must perform during those seven days when you dedicate Aaron and his sons for this work. You must do everything that I have commanded you.

36 Chak jou, w'a ofri yon towo bèf, w'a touye l' pou mande Bondye padon pou peche yo fè san yo pa konnen. Avèk ofrann bèt sa a w'ap fè pou peche a, w'a mete lòtèl la nan kondisyon pou l' sèvi nan sèvis Bondye. Lèfini, w'a vide lwil sou li, w'a mete l' apa pou sèvis Bondye.

Each of those seven days you must also sacrifice a young bull as an offering to me, in order that I may forgive sins. Also, you must make another offering (to make the altar pure in my sight/in order that I will consider the altar to be pure). You must also anoint the altar with olive oil, to (set it apart/dedicate it).

37 Pandan sèt jou, w'a fè ofrann bèt pou peche yo fè san yo pa konnen an sou lòtèl la. Konsa w'a mete lòtèl la apa pou sèvis Bondye a. Konsa, lòtèl la va apa nèt pou Bondye. Tout moun ki va manyen lòtèl la, ak tout bagay ki va an kontak ak lòtèl la va tounen bagay yo mete apa pou Bondye tou.

Perform these rituals every day for seven days, to (set apart/dedicate) the altar and make it pure. If you do not do that, anyone or anything that touches the altar will become taboo.

38 Men sa ou gen pou ofri sou lòtèl la: Chak jou, san sote yon jou, w'a ofri de ti mouton ki poko gen ennan bay Bondye.

“You must also sacrifice lambs and burn them on the altar. Each of those [seven] days you must sacrifice two lambs.

39 W'a ofri yonn nan mouton yo nan maten, lòt la nan aswè anvan li fin fè nwa nèt.

One lamb must be sacrificed in the morning, and one must be sacrificed in the evening.

40 Avèk premye ti mouton an, w'a ofri sèt ti mamit farin frans melanje ak yon lit edmi bon lwil oliv fèt nan moulen. W'a pran yon lit edmi diven pou ofri pou bwason ak manje a.

With the first lamb, also offer (2 pounds/1 kilogram) of finely-ground wheat flour mixed with one quart/liter of the best kind of olive oil, and one quart/liter of wine as an offering.

41 W'a touye dezyèm ti mouton an aswè. W'a ofri ansanm avè l' menm manje ak menm bwason ou te ofri nan maten an. W'a boule tout bagay sa yo nèt nan dife. Se va yon ofrann bèt k'ap fè Seyè a plezi ak bon sant li.

In the evening, when you sacrifice the other lamb, offer the same amounts of flour, olive oil, and wine as you did in the morning. This will be an offering to me, Yahweh, that will be burned, and its smell will please me.

42 Ofrann nan dife sa a, yo gen pou yo fè l' tout tan devan mwen, de pitit an pitit nan papòt Tant Randevou a. Se la mwen menm Seyè a, m'ap kontre ak pèp mwen an pou m' pale ak yo.

You [and your descendants] must continue making these offerings to me, Yahweh, throughout all future generations. You must offer them at the entrance of the Sacred Tent. That is where I will meet with you and speak to you.

43 Se la m'ap kontre pèp Izrayèl la. Avèk pouvwa mwen, m'ap mete kote sa a apa pou mwen.

That is where I will meet with the Israeli people, and the brilliant light of my presence will cause that place to be holy/sacred.

44 M'ap mete Tant Randevou a apa pou sèvis mwen. M'ap fè menm bagay la tou pou lòtèl la. M'ap mete Arawon ak pitit gason l' yo apa pou mwen pou yo ka sèvi m' prèt.

I will dedicate the Sacred Tent and the altar. I will also dedicate Aaron and his sons to serve me [by being] priests.

45 M'ap rete nan mitan pèp Izrayèl la, se mwen menm ki va Bondye yo.

I will live among the Israeli people, and I will be their God.

46 y'a konnen se mwen menm ki Seyè a, Bondye yo a, se mwen menm ki te fè yo soti kite peyi Lejip pou m' te kapab rete nan mitan yo. Se mwen ki Seyè a, Bondye yo a.

They will know that I, Yahweh their God, am the one who brought them out of Egypt in order that I might live among them.”
