Levitik 11
1 Seyè a pale ak Moyiz ansanm ak Arawon, li di yo konsa:
The LORD spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying to them,
2 -Men sa pou nou di moun pèp Izrayèl yo.
"Speak to the children of Israel, saying, 'These are the living things which you may eat among all the animals that are on 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.
Whatever parts the hoof, and is cloven-footed, and chews the cud among the animals, that you may 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.
"'Nevertheless these you shall not eat of those that chew the cud, or of those who part the hoof: the camel, because he chews the cud but doesn't have a parted hoof, he is unclean to you.
5 Nou gen daman ki remoute manje men ki pa gen zago yo fann.
The coney, because he chews the cud but doesn't have a parted hoof, he 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.
The hare, because she chews the cud but doesn't part the hoof, she 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.
The pig, because he has a split hoof, and is cloven-footed, but doesn't chew the cud, he 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.
Of their flesh you shall not eat, and their carcasses you shall not touch; they 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.
"'These you may eat of all that are in the waters: whatever has fins and scales in the waters, in the seas, and in the rivers, that you may 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.
All that do not have fins and scales in the seas, and in the rivers, of all that move in the waters, and of all the living creatures that are in the waters, they are an abomination to you,
11 Gade yo pou move vyann. Pa manje vyann yo, pa manyen kadav yo.
and you detest them. You shall not eat of their flesh, and you shall detest their carcasses.
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.
Whatever has no fins nor scales in the waters, that is 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.
"'These you shall detest among the birds; they shall not be eaten, they are an abomination: the eagle, and the vulture, and the black vulture,
14 Malfini karanklou ak lòt bèt menm fanmi ak yo ki manje kadav,
and the red kite, any kind of black kite,
15 tout kalite kònèy,
any kind of raven,
16 otrich, janmichèt, poul dlo, grigri, ak lòt bèt menm fanmi ak yo ki manje vyann vivan,
the horned owl, the screech owl, and the gull, any kind of hawk,
17 koukou, plonjon, frize,
the little owl, the cormorant, the great owl,
18 gwo kanna mawon blan, grangozye, chwèt,
the white owl, the desert owl, the osprey,
19 sigòy, krabye ak tout lòt bèt menm fanmi ak yo, chòchòt, sèpantye.
the stork, any kind of heron, the hoopoe, and the bat.
20 Tout ti bètazèl ki mache sou kat pye pa bon pou nou manje.
"'All flying insects that walk on all fours are an abomination 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,
Yet you may eat these: of all winged crawling creatures that go on all fours, which have legs above their feet, with which to hop on the earth.
22 tankou krikèt kay, krikèt bwa, chwal bondye ak lòt kalite krikèt.
Even of these you may eat: any kind of locust, any kind of katydid, any kind of cricket, and any kind of grasshopper.
23 Men, tout lòt ti bètazèl ki gen kat pye pa bon pou nou manje.
But all winged crawling creatures which have four feet, are 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.
"'By these you will become unclean: whoever touches the carcass of them shall be unclean until 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.
Whoever carries any part of their carcass shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until 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.
"'Every animal which parts the hoof, and is not cloven-footed, nor chews the cud, is unclean to you. Everyone who touches them shall be unclean.
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.
Whatever goes on its paws, among all animals that go on all fours, they are unclean to you. Whoever touches their carcass shall be unclean until the 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.
He who carries their carcass shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the evening. They 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,
"'These are they which are unclean to you among the creatures that crawl on the earth: the weasel, the rat, any kind of great lizard,
30 zandolit, soud, mabouya, gongolo, aganman.
the gecko, and the monitor lizard, the wall lizard, the skink, and the chameleon.
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 they which are unclean to you among all that crawl. Whoever touches them when they are dead, shall be unclean until the 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.
On whatever any of them falls when they are dead, it shall be unclean; whether it is any vessel of wood, or clothing, or skin, or sack, whatever vessel it is, with which any work is done, it must be put into water, and it shall be unclean until the evening; then it will 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.
Every earthen vessel, into which any of them falls, all that is in it shall be unclean, and you shall break it.
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.
All food which may be eaten, that on which water comes, shall be unclean; and all drink that may be drunk in every 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.
Everything whereupon part of their carcass falls shall be unclean; whether oven, or range for pots, it shall be broken in pieces: they are unclean, and 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.
Nevertheless a spring or a cistern in which water is a gathered shall be clean: but that which touches their carcass shall be unclean.
37 Si kadav yonn nan bèt sa yo tonbe sou grenn nou pral plante, grenn yo bon toujou pou plante.
If part of their carcass falls on any sowing seed which is to be sown, it is 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 is put on the seed, and part of their carcass falls on 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.
"'If any animal, of which you may eat, dies; he who touches its carcass shall be unclean until the 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.
He who eats of its carcass shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the evening. He also who carries its carcass shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the evening.
41 Tout ti bèt k'ap trennen sou vant pa bon pou moun k'ap sèvi Bondye. Nou pa fèt pou manje yo.
"'Every swarming thing that swarms on the earth is an abomination. 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.
Whatever goes on its belly, and whatever goes on all fours, or whatever has many feet, even all creatures that crawl on the earth, them you shall not eat; for they are an abomination.
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.
You shall not make yourselves abominable with any crawling creature that crawls, neither shall you make yourselves unclean with them, that you should be defiled thereby.
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. Sanctify yourselves therefore, and be holy; for I am holy: neither shall you defile yourselves with any kind of crawling creature that moves on 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. You shall therefore be holy, for I 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 of the animal, and of the bird, and of every living creature that moves in the waters, and of every creature that crawls 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 make a distinction between the unclean and the clean, and between the living thing that may be eaten and the living thing that may not be eaten.'"
