< Levitik 10 >

1 Yon jou, de nan pitit Arawon yo, Nadab ak Abiyou, leve, yo pran ti recho yo, yo mete chabon dife tou limen ladan yo, yo mete lansan nan dife a, epi y' al ofri l' bay Seyè a. Men, dife a pa t' bon paske se pa t' yon dife Seyè a te bay lòd fè.
[Two of] Aaron’s sons, Nadab and Abihu, took the pans in which they burned incense. They put some burning coals in them and put incense on top of the coals, but this fire was not acceptable [to Yahweh] because it was not the kind that he had commanded them to burn.
2 Seyè a voye yon dife sou yo, dife a boule yo, epi yo mouri la devan Seyè a.
So suddenly a fire from Yahweh appeared and burned them up [DOU] in the presence of Yahweh.
3 Lè sa a, Moyiz di Arawon: -Men sa Seyè a t'ap di nou an wi lè l' te di: Moun k'ap sèvi m' fèt pou respekte m'. M'a fè pèp la konnen pouvwa mwen! Arawon pa di anyen.
Then Moses/I said to Aaron, “That is what Yahweh predicted. He said, ‘Those priests who come near to me, I will show them that they must (respect me/treat me as being holy); in the presence of all the people I am the one who must be honored.’” But Aaron said nothing.
4 Moyiz rele Mikayèl ak Elzafan, de pitit gason Ouzyèl, tonton Arawon, li di yo: -Vini non! Wete kadav kouzen nou yo devan tant Seyè a, pote yo deyò lòt bò limit kan an.
Then Moses/I summoned Mishael and Elzaphan, who were the sons of Aaron’s uncle Uzziel, and said to them, “Take [the corpses of] your cousins outside the camp, away from the front of the Sacred Tent.”
5 Se konsa yo vini, yo pran kò yo ak tout rad ki te sou yo, yo pote yo lòt bò limit kan an, jan Moyiz te di a.
So they carried the corpses, which still had their special gowns on, outside the camp, [and buried them].
6 Apre sa, Moyiz pale ak Arawon ansanm ak de lòt pitit gason l' yo, Eleaza ak Itama, li di yo: -Pa rete san penyen tèt nou, pa chire rad sou nou jan moun yo fè l' la lè yo nan lapenn pou ka lanmò. Si nou fè sa n'a mouri, Seyè a va fache sou tout pèp la. Men, frè nou yo ansanm ak tout lòt moun peyi Izrayèl yo gen dwa pran lapenn pou moun sa yo ki boule nan dife Seyè a te voye sou yo a.
Then Moses/I said to Aaron and his [other two] sons Eleazar and Ithamar, “[You are sad because Nadab and Abihu died, but you must act like you always do]. Do not allow the hair on your [heads] to remain uncombed, and do not tear your clothes. But your relatives and all your fellow Israelis are allowed to mourn for those whom Yahweh destroyed by fire.
7 Nou menm, rete nan tant Randevou a. Pa mete pwent pye nou deyò. Si nou fè sa n'a mouri, paske avèk lwil yo te vide sou tèt nou an, yo mete nou apa pou Seyè a. Yo fè jan Moyiz te di a.
But you must not leave the entrance of the Sacred Tent [to join those who are mourning], because if you do that, you also will die, and Yahweh will punish [MTY] all the people of Israel. Do not forget that Yahweh has set you apart [MTY] to work for him here, [and he does not want you to become defiled by touching a corpse].” So they did what Moses/I told them to do.
8 Seyè a pale ak Arawon, li di l' konsa:
Then Yahweh said to Aaron,
9 -Ni ou menm, ni pitit gason ou yo, nou pa fèt pou nou bwè diven ni ankenn gwòg lè se jou nou gen pou nou antre nan Tant Randevou a. Si nou fè sa n'a mouri. Sa se yon regleman pou nou swiv tout tan, nou menm, pitit nou yo ak pitit pitit nou yo.
“You and your [two] sons [who are still alive] must not drink wine or other fermented drinks before you enter the Sacred Tent; if you do that, you will die. That is a command that you and your descendants must obey forever.
10 Se pou nou konnen sa ki apa pou sèvis Bondye ak sa ki pou sèvis òdinè, sa ki pa ka sèvi pou sèvis Bondye ak sa ki ka sèvi pou sèvis Bondye.
You must do that in order to learn what things are holy and what things are (not holy/common), and [from the things that are not holy] you must learn what things are acceptable to me and what things are not.
11 Lèfini, se devwa nou pou nou moutre pèp Izrayèl la tout regleman mwen menm Seyè a, mwen te bay Moyiz pou nou.
And you must teach to the Israeli people all the laws that I gave to the Israeli people by telling them to Moses.”
12 Moyiz pale ak Arawon ansanm ak de lòt pitit gason ki te rete l' yo, Eleaza ak Itama, li di yo: -N'a pran farin ki rete nan ofrann grenn yo boule pou Seyè a, n'a fè pen san ledven avè l', n'a manje yo bò lotèl la, paske ofrann lan, se yon ofrann ki apa nèt pou Seyè a.
Moses/I said to Aaron and his two sons who were still alive, Eleazar and Ithamar, “Take the offering made from grain that is left after a portion of it has been offered to Yahweh to be burned, and eat it alongside the altar. [It should not be eaten elsewhere], because it is very holy.
13 N'a manje l' yon kote ki apa pou Seyè a. Wi, se pòsyon sa a ki pou ou ansanm ak pitit ou yo nan ofrann yo fè pou boule pou Seyè a. Se sa Seyè a te ban m' lòd fè.
Eat it in a holy place; it is the share for you and your sons from the offerings that were burned; I have commanded that it be your share.
14 Konsa tou, nou menm ak tout fanmi nou, fi kou gason, nou gen dwa manje pwatrin yo balanse devan Seyè a ak jigo yo te ofri bay Seyè a pou prèt yo. N'a manje yo yon kote yo mete apa pou sèvis Seyè a. Paske, pòsyon sa yo se pou nou yo ye, pou nou ansanm ak pitit nou yo. Se nan ofrann moun Izrayèl yo fè pou di Bondye mèsi yo soti.
But you and your sons and daughters are permitted to eat the breast and the thigh that were lifted up in front of Yahweh. Eat them in any place that is (holy/acceptable to him). They have been given to you and your descendants as your share of the offerings to enable the Israelis to maintain fellowship [with Yahweh].
15 Wi, y'a pote jigo ak pwatrin y'ap ofri pou boule ansanm ak pòsyon grès y'ap ofri pou boule nan dife pou Seyè a. Y'a balanse yo devan Bondye. Pòsyon sa yo va toujou rete pou ou ansanm ak pou pitit ou yo, jan Seyè a te bay lòd la.
The thigh and the breast that were lifted up in front of Yahweh must be brought with the portions of fat to be burned, to be lifted up in his presence. They will be the regular share for you and your descendants, as Yahweh has commanded.”
16 Lè sa a, Moyiz mande sa yo te fè ak kabrit ki sèvi ofrann pou peye pou sa moun te fè ki mal la. Yo di l' yo te gen tan boule l'. Moyiz fè yon sèl move sou Eleaza ak Itama, de gason Arawon ki te rete yo, li di yo konsa:
When Moses/I inquired about the goat that had been sacrificed to enable the people to be forgiven by Yahweh for the sins they had committed, he/I found out that it had been completely burned. So he/I was angry with Eleazar and Ithamar and asked them,
17 -Poukisa nou pa t' manje ofrann yo te fè pou peche a nan kote yo mete apa pou sèvis Bondye a? Nou konnen ofrann lan se yon bagay ki apa nèt pou Seyè a. Seyè a ban nou l' pou nou manje, pou li ka wete peche pèp la, pou peye pou peche yo fè.
“Why did you not eat near the Sacred Tent the meat of the offering for sin? It was very holy, and it was given to you to enable the Israeli people to no longer be guilty for their sins and to be forgiven for their sins.
18 Tande byen. Nou wè yo pa t' pote san an anndan kay Bondye a. Se pou nou te manje vyann lan nan kay ki apa pou Bondye a, jan Bondye te ban mwen lòd fè l' la.
Since its blood was not taken into the holy place inside the Sacred Tent, you should have eaten the [meat of] the goat near the Sacred Tent, as I commanded.”
19 Arawon reponn Moyiz: -Ou wè sa ki rive m' jòdi a? Atout pèp la te fè ofrann pou wete peche li yo ak ofrann pou boule pou Seyè a, mwen t'ap mande m' si m' te manje ofrann peche yo a jòdi a, ou kwè sa ta fè Seyè a plezi?
Aaron replied to Moses/me, “Today the people brought to Yahweh their offering to be forgiven for the sins they had committed, and the offering to be completely burned, [and surely that pleased Yahweh], but [think about the terrible thing] that happened to my other two sons! Would [RHQ] Yahweh have been pleased if I had eaten some of the offering to cause the people to become acceptable to God?”
20 Lè Moyiz tande sa, sa te fè kè l' kontan.
When Moses/I heard that, he/I was satisfied.
