Levitik 1
1 Seyè a rete nan Tant Randevou a, li rele Moyiz, li di l' konsa:
Then the Lord called Moses and spoke to him from the tabernacle of the testimony, saying:
2 -W'a pale ak moun pèp Izrayèl yo, w'a di yo: Lè yon moun vle fè Seyè a yon ofrann, si se yon bèt li vle ofri, l'a ofri yon bèf osinon yon kabrit ou ankò yon mouton l'a pran nan bèt li yo.
Speak to the sons of Israel, and you shall say to them: The man among you who will offer to the Lord a sacrifice from the cattle, that is, an offering of victims of oxen or sheep:
3 Si se yon gwo bèt li vle ofri pou yo boule pou Seyè a, l'a mennen yon towo bèf ki pa gen ankenn enfimite. L'a vin avè l' jouk devan pòt Tant Randevou a pou Seyè a ka asepte l'.
if his offering will be a holocaust, as well as from the herd, he shall offer an immaculate male at the door of the tabernacle of the testimony, to make himself pleasing to the Lord.
4 L'a mete men l' sou tèt bèt l'ap ofri a pou Bondye ka asepte l' tankou yon ofrann l'ap fè pou mande Bondye fè li gras.
And he shall place his hand on the head of the sacrifice, and so it shall be acceptable and effective, in its expiation.
5 L'a touye towo a la devan Seyè a. Apre sa, prèt yo, pitit Arawon yo, va pran san an pou yo ofri l' bay Seyè a. Lèfini, y'a voye san an sou kat bò lotèl ki toupre pòt Tant Randevou a.
And he shall immolate the calf in the sight of the Lord. And the priests, the sons of Aaron, shall offer its blood, pouring it all around the altar, which is before the door of the tabernacle.
6 Apre sa, y'a kòche towo a, y'a koupe l' an moso.
And having pulled away the skin of the victim, they shall cut up the joints into pieces,
7 Prèt yo, pitit Arawon, prèt la, va limen dife sou lotèl la, y'a mete bwa nan dife a.
and they shall toss fire under the altar, having arranged beforehand a stack of wood.
8 Apre sa, prèt yo, pitit Arawon yo, va mete moso vyann yo ansanm ak tèt la ak moso grès yo sou dife ki sou lotèl la.
And they shall lay the parts which are cut up in order upon it: namely, the head, and all the things that adjoin to the liver,
9 Moun k'ap fè ofrann lan va lave tripay yo ak pye dèyè yo nan dlo. Lèfini, prèt yo va ofri yo bay Seyè a. Konsa y'a boule tout ofrann lan nèt sou lotèl la. Se sa yo rele yon ofrann bèt ou boule pou Seyè a, yon ofrann ou boule nèt nan dife epi k'ap fè Seyè a plezi ak bon sant li.
the intestines and feet having been washed with water. And the priest shall burn them on the altar as a holocaust and as a sweet odor to the Lord.
10 Si se yon ti bèt moun lan vle ofri pou boule nèt pou Seyè a, l'a ofri yon ti bouk kabrit osinon yon belye mouton ki pa gen ankenn enfimite.
But if the offering is from the flocks, a holocaust either of sheep or goats, he shall offer a male without blemish.
11 L'a touye l' sou bò nò lotèl la, devan Seyè a. Apre sa, prèt yo, pitit Arawon yo, va voye san an sou kat bò lotèl la.
And he shall immolate it at the side of the altar which looks out toward the north, in the sight of the Lord. Yet truly, the sons of Aaron shall pour its blood upon the altar all around.
12 Lèfini, nonm lan va koupe l' an moso. Prèt yo va mete tout moso yo ansanm ak tèt la ak moso grès yo sou dife ki sou lotèl la.
And they shall divide the limbs, the head, and everything that adjoins to the liver. And they shall place them on the wood, under which the fire is to be thrown.
13 Moun k'ap fè ofrann lan va lave tripay yo ak pye dèyè yo nan dlo. Apre sa, prèt yo va ofri yo bay Seyè a. Konsa l'a boule tout ofrann lan nèt sou lotèl la. Se sa yo rele yon ofrann bèt ou boule pou Seyè a, yon ofrann ou boule nèt nan dife epi k'ap fè Seyè a plezi ak bon sant li.
Yet truly, the intestines and the feet they shall wash with water. And the priest, having offered everything, shall burn it upon the altar as a holocaust and as a most sweet odor to the Lord.
14 Si se zwazo nonm lan ap ofri pou yo boule pou Seyè a, se va toutrèl osinon pijon.
But if the oblation of a holocaust to the Lord is of birds, either of turtledoves, or young pigeons,
15 Prèt la va pran zwazo a, l'a pote l' bò lotèl la, l'a peze bèk li, l'a tòde kou l' pou l' touye l'. Y'a boule tèt la sou lotèl la, y'a fè san li koule sou kat bò lotèl la.
the priest shall offer it at the altar: and twisting back the neck with the head, and also rupturing the place of the wound, he shall make the blood run down over the edge of the altar.
16 L'a rache fal zwazo a ak tout plim li sou li. L'a jete l' bò lotèl la, sou bò solèy leve, kote yo mete sann dife a.
Yet truly, the craw of the throat and the feathers he shall cast near the altar at the eastern section, in the place where the ashes are usually poured out.
17 Apre sa, l'a bay yon kout kouto nan mitan de zèl yo, l'a kenbe zèl yo, l'a louvri kò zwazo a ande san li pa detache zèl yo. Lèfini, prèt la va boule l' nèt sou dife ki sou lotèl la. Se sa yo rele yon ofrann bèt yo boule pou Seyè a, yon ofrann ou boule nèt nan dife epi k'ap fè Seyè a plezi ak bon sant li.
And he shall break its wing joints, but he shall neither cut, nor divide it with metal, and he shall burn it upon the altar, placing fire under the wood. It is a holocaust and an oblation of a most sweet odor to the Lord.
