Levitik 11

1 Seyè a pale ak Moyiz ansanm ak Arawon, li di yo konsa:

And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying,

2 -Men sa pou nou di moun pèp Izrayèl yo.

Speak you to the sons of Israel, saying, These are the beasts which you shall eat of all beasts that are upon the earth.

3 Nan tout bèt ki sou latè, men bèt nou ka touye pou nou manje. Nou ka manje tout bèt ki gen zago yo fann an de depi yo remoute manje tou.

Every beast parting the hoof and making divisions of two claws, and chewing the cud amongst beasts, these you shall eat.

4 Men, gen bèt ki remoute manje epi ki pa gen zago yo fann. Bèt konsa nou pa gen dwa manje yo. Sa pa bon pou nou! Nou gen chamo ki remoute manje men ki pa gen zago yo fann. Vyann li pa bon pou nou manje.

But of these you shall not eat, of those that chew the cud, and of those that part the hoofs, and divide claws; the camel, because it chews the cud, but does not divide the hoof, this is unclean to you.

5 Nou gen daman ki remoute manje men ki pa gen zago yo fann.

And the rabbit, because it chews the cud, but does not divide the hoof, this is unclean to you.

6 Nou gen ankò lapen ki remoute manje men ki pa gen zago fann an de. Vyann li pa bon pou nou manje.

And the hare, because it does not chew the cud, and does not divide the hoof, this is unclean to you.

7 Nou gen ankò kochon. Li menm li gen zago fann an de, men li pa remoute manje. Vyann li tou pa bon pou nou manje.

And the swine, because this [animal] divides the hoof, and makes claws of the hoof, and it does not chew the cud, is unclean to you.

8 Piga nou janm manje vyann bèt sa yo. Piga nou manyen kadav yo. Yo pa bon pou nou menm k'ap sèvi Bondye.

You shall not eat of their flesh, and you shall not touch their carcases; these are unclean to you.

9 Nan bèt k'ap viv nan dlo men sa nou ka manje. Nou ka manje tout bèt nan lanmè ak nan dlo dous ki gen zèl ak kal sou kò yo.

And these [are] what you shall eat of all that are in the waters: all things that have fins and scales in the waters, and in the seas, and in the brooks, these you shall eat.

10 Men, tout bèt k'ap viv nan lanmè osinon nan dlo dous men ki pa gen ni zèl ni kal sou kò yo, sa pa bon pou manje yo.

And all things which have not fins or scales in the water, or in the seas, and in the brooks, of all which the waters produce, and of every soul living in the water, are an abomination; and they shall be abominations to you.

11 Gade yo pou move vyann. Pa manje vyann yo, pa manyen kadav yo.

You shall not eat of their flesh, and you shall abhor their carcases.

12 Tout bèt k'ap viv nan dlo men ki pa gen zèl ak kal sou kò yo, nou pa fèt pou nou manje yo.

And all things that have not fins or scales of those that are in the waters, these are an abomination to you.

13 Nan tout zwazo men sa nou pa gen dwa manje paske yo pa bon pou nou menm k'ap sèvi Bondye.

And these are the things which you shall abhor of birds, and they shall not be eaten, they are an abomination: the eagle and the ossifrage, and the sea-eagle.

14 Malfini karanklou ak lòt bèt menm fanmi ak yo ki manje kadav,

And the vulture, and the kite, and the like to it;

15 tout kalite kònèy,

and the sparrow, and the owl, and the cormorant, and the like to it:

16 otrich, janmichèt, poul dlo, grigri, ak lòt bèt menm fanmi ak yo ki manje vyann vivan,

and every raven, and the birds like it, and the hawk and his like,

17 koukou, plonjon, frize,

and the night-raven and the cormorant and the stork,

18 gwo kanna mawon blan, grangozye, chwèt,

and the red-bill, and the pelican, and swan,

19 sigòy, krabye ak tout lòt bèt menm fanmi ak yo, chòchòt, sèpantye.

and the heron, and the lapwing, and the like to it, and the hoopoe and the bat.

20 Tout ti bètazèl ki mache sou kat pye pa bon pou nou manje.

And all winged creatures that creep, which go upon four feet, are abominations to you.

21 Men, nou ka manje tout ti bètazèl ki mache sou kat pye, depi yo gen de gwo pye ki penmèt yo sote,

But these you shall eat of the creeping winged animals, which go upon four feet, which have legs above their feet, to leap with on the earth.

22 tankou krikèt kay, krikèt bwa, chwal bondye ak lòt kalite krikèt.

And these of them you shall eat: the caterpillar and his like, and the attacus and his like, and the cantharus and his like, and the locust and his like.

23 Men, tout lòt ti bètazèl ki gen kat pye pa bon pou nou manje.

Every creeping thing from amongst the birds, which has four feet, is an abomination to you.

24 Depi yon moun manyen kadav yonn nan bèt sa yo, li pa nan kondisyon pou l' fè sèvis pou Bondye jouk aswè.

And by these you shall be defiled; every one that touches their carcases shall be unclean till the evening.

25 Tout moun ki pote menm yon moso nan kadav yo gen pou lave tout rad sou li, epi li p'ap nan kondisyon pou l' fè sèvis pou Bondye jouk aswè.

And every one that takes of their dead bodies shall wash his garments, and shall be unclean till the evening.

26 Tout bèt ki pa gen zago yo fann an de osinon ki pa remoute manje pa bon pou nou manje. Tout moun ki manyen ata kadav bèt sa yo pa nan kondisyon pou l' fè sèvis pou Bondye.

And whichever amongst the beasts divides the hoof and makes claws, and does not chew the cud, shall be unclean to you; every one that touches their dead bodies shall be unclean till evening.

27 Konsa tou, tout bèt ki mache sou kat pa t' men ki pa gen zago, yo pa bon pou nou manje. Depi yon moun manyen kadav yonn nan bèt sa yo, li pa nan kondisyon pou fè sèvis pou Bondye jouk aswè.

And every one amongst all the wild beasts that moves upon its fore feet, which goes on all four, is unclean to you; every one that touches their dead bodies shall be unclean till evening.

28 Tout moun ki pote kadav bèt yo al jete gen pou lave tout rad sou li, epi li p'ap nan kondisyon pou l' fè sèvis pou Bondye jouk aswè. Wi, tout bèt sa yo pa bon pou nou manje.

And he that takes of their dead bodies shall wash his garments, and shall be unclean till evening: these are unclean to you.

29 Pami tout bèt toupatou sou latè ki mache sou vant, men sa ki pa bon pou nou manje: tout kalite zagoudi, sourit ak leza,

And these [are] unclean to you of reptiles upon the earth, the weasel, and the mouse, and the lizard,

30 zandolit, soud, mabouya, gongolo, aganman.

the ferret, and the chameleon, and the evet, and the newt, and the mole.

31 Wi, tout bèt sa yo pa bon pou nou manje. Si yon moun annik manyen kadav yonn nan bèt sa yo, l'a nan kondisyon pou l' pa fè sèvis pou Bondye jouk aswè.

These are unclean to you of all the reptiles which are on the earth; every one who touches their carcases shall be unclean till evening.

32 Si kadav bèt sa yo tonbe sou nenpòt ki bagay, kit an bwa, kit an twal, kit an po, kit an twal sak, osinon sou nenpòt ki zouti nou sèvi pou nou travay, bagay sa a osinon zouti sa a pa bon pou nou sèvi. Se pou nou mete l' tranpe nan dlo, li p'ap bon pou nou sèvi avè l' jouk aswè rive. Apre sa, nou ka sèvi avè l' san danje.

And on whatever one of their dead bodies shall fall it shall be unclean; whatever wooden vessel, or garment, or skin, or sack it may be, every vessel in which work should be done, shall be dipped in water, and shall be unclean till evening; and [then] it shall be clean.

33 Si kadav yonn nan bèt sa yo tonbe nan yon veso fèt an tè, tou sa ki nan veso a pa bon pou nou sèvi ankò, epitou se pou nou kraze veso sa a.

And every earthen vessel into which one of these things shall fall, whatever is inside it, shall be unclean, and it shall be broken.

34 Si ti gout nan dlo ki soti nan veso sa a ta rive tonbe sou nenpòt manje nou gen dwa manje, manje a pa bon ankò pou nou manje. Konsa tou, tout bwason nou gen dwa bwè, si yo ta rive vide l' nan yon veso konsa, li pa bon ankò pou nou bwè.

And all food that is eaten, on which water shall come [from such a vessel], shall be unclean; and every beverage which is drunk in any [such] vessel, shall be unclean.

35 Si kadav yonn nan bèt sa yo tonbe sou nenpòt bagay, bagay sa a pa bon pou sèvi ankò. Si se yon fou osinon yon recho, se pou yo kraze yo an miyèt moso. Yo pa bon, nou pa fèt pou sèvi ak yo ankò menm.

And every thing on which there shall fall of their dead bodies shall be unclean; ovens and stands for jars shall be broken down: these are unclean, and they shall be unclean to you.

36 Men, si yo tonbe nan yon sous osinon nan yon sitèn pou ranmase dlo, sous la osinon sitèn lan ap toujou bon pou sèvis nou. Men, moun ki manyen kadav la pou wete l' nan dlo a p'ap nan kondisyon pou fè sèvis Bondye.

Only [if the water be] of fountains of water, or a pool, or confluence of water, it shall be clean; but he that touches their carcases shall be unclean.

37 Si kadav yonn nan bèt sa yo tonbe sou grenn nou pral plante, grenn yo bon toujou pou plante.

And if one of their carcases should fall upon any sowing seed which shall be sown, it shall be clean.

38 Men, si grenn lan te tranpe nan dlo epi kadav yonn nan bèt sa yo tonbe sou li, grenn lan pa bon ankò pou plante.

But if water be poured on any seed, and one of their dead bodies fall upon it, it is unclean to you.

39 Lè yon bèt nou ka manje rete konsa li mouri, tout moun ki manyen kadav li p'ap kapab fè sèvis pou Bondye jouk aswè.

And if one of the cattle die, which it is lawful for you to eat, he that touches their carcases shall be unclean till evening.

40 Moun ki manje nenpòt moso nan vyann bèt mouri a gen pou l' lave rad sou li epi li p'ap nan kondisyon pou l' fè sèvis Bondye jouk aswè. Moun ki pote kadav la al jete gen pou l' lave rad sou li, epi li p'ap nan kondisyon pou l' fè sèvis pou Bondye jouk aswè.

And he that eats of their carcases shall wash his garments, and be unclean till evening; and he that carries any of their carcases shall wash his garments, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean till evening.

41 Tout ti bèt k'ap trennen sou vant pa bon pou moun k'ap sèvi Bondye. Nou pa fèt pou manje yo.

And every reptile that creeps on the earth, this shall be an abomination to you; it shall not be eaten.

42 Depi se ti bèt k'ap trennen sou vant ou ankò ti bèt kat pye, ou ankò ti bèt ki gen anpil pye, yo yonn pa bon menm pou moun k'ap sèvi Bondye: nou pa fèt pou nou manje yo.

And every [animal] that creeps on its belly, and every one that goes on four [feet] continually, which abounds with feet amongst all the reptiles creeping upon the earth—you shall not eat it, for it is an abomination to you.

43 Pa manje ankenn nan ti bèt k'ap trennen sou vant yo pou yo pa mete nou nan kondisyon pou nou pa kapab fè sèvis pou mwen.

And you shall not defile your souls with any of the reptiles that creep upon the earth, and you shall not be polluted with them, and you shall not be unclean by them.

44 Se mwen menm Seyè a ki Bondye nou. Se pou nou kenbe kò nou yon jan pou nou viv apa pou mwen, paske mwen menm se yon Bondye apa mwen ye. Pa kite ankenn ti bèt k'ap trennen sou vant mete nou nan kondisyon pou nou pa ka sèvi m'.

For I am the Lord your God; and you shall be sanctified, and you shall be holy, because I the Lord your God am holy; and you shall not defile your souls with any of the reptiles creeping upon the earth.

45 Se mwen menm, Seyè a, se mwen menm ki te mennen nou soti kite peyi Lejip pou m' te ka Bondye nou. Wi, se pou nou viv apa pou mwen, paske mwen se yon Bondye apa.

For I am the Lord who brought you up out of the land of Egypt to be your God; and you shall be holy, for I the Lord am holy.

46 Men regleman ki gen rapò ak bèt, zwazo ak tout lòt bèt k'ap viv nan dlo, osinon k'ap trennen sou vant.

This is the law concerning beasts and birds and every living creature moving in the water, and every living creature creeping on the earth;

47 Se pou nou toujou rekonèt bèt ki ka mete nou nan kondisyon pou nou pa ka sèvi Bondye ak bèt ki p'ap fè l', bèt ki bon pou nou manje ak bèt ki pa bon pou nou manje.

to distinguish between the unclean and the clean; and between those that bring forth alive, such as should be eaten, and those that bring forth alive, such as should not be eaten.
