Levitik 11

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

And 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 beasts which ye may eat among all the beasts 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 parteth the hoof, and is cloven-footed, [and] cheweth the cud among the beasts, that shall ye 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 shall ye not eat, of them that chew the cud, or of them that divide the hoof: the camel, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he [is] unclean to you.

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

And the coney, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the 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.

And the hare, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof: he [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, though he divideth the hoof, and [is] cloven-footed, yet he cheweth not 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 shall ye not eat, and their carcass shall ye 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 shall ye eat, of all that [are] in the waters: whatever hath fins and scales in the waters, in the seas, and in the rivers, them shall ye 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 that have not fins nor scales in the seas, and in the rivers, of all that move in the waters, and of any living animal which [is] in the waters, they [shall be] an abomination to you:

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

They shall be even an abomination to you; ye shall not eat of their flesh, but ye shall have their carcasses in abomination.

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 hath no fins nor scales in the waters, that [shall be] 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 they which] ye shall have in abomination among the fowls; they shall not be eaten, they [are] an abomination: the eagle, and the ossifrage, and the ospray,

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

And the vultur, and the kite after his kind;

15 tout kalite kònèy,

Every raven after his kind;

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

And the owl, and the night-hawk, and the cuckow, and the hawk after his kind,

17 koukou, plonjon, frize,

And the little owl, and the cormorant, and the great owl,

18 gwo kanna mawon blan, grangozye, chwèt,

And the swan, and the pelican, and the gier-eagle,

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

And the stork, and the heron after her kind, and the lapwing, and the bat.

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

All fowls that creep, going upon [all] four, [shall be] 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 these may ye eat, of every flying creeping animal that goeth upon [all] four, which have legs above their feet, to leap with upon the earth;

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

[Even] these of them ye may eat; the locust after its kind, and the bald locust after its kind, and the beetle after its kind, and the grasshopper after its kind.

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

But all [other] flying creeping animals, which have four feet, [shall be] 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 for these ye shall be unclean: whoever toucheth 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.

And whoever beareth [aught] of the carcass of them 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.

[The carcasses] of every beast which divideth the hoof, and [is] not cloven-footed, nor cheweth the cud, [are] unclean to you: every one that toucheth 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.

And whatever goeth upon its paws, among all manner of beasts that go on [all] four, those [are] unclean to you: whoever toucheth 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.

And he that beareth the carcass of them 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 also [shall be] unclean to you among the creeping animals that creep upon the earth; the weasel, and the mouse, and the tortoise, after its kind,

30 zandolit, soud, mabouya, gongolo, aganman.

And the ferret and the chameleon, and the lizard, and the snail, 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 among all that creep: whoever doth touch 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.

And upon whatever [any] of them, when they are dead, doth fall, it shall be unclean; whether [it is] any vessel of wood, or raiment, or skin, or sack, whatever vessel [it is], in which [any] work is done, it must be put into water, and it shall be unclean until the evening; so it shall be cleansed.

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 [any] of them falleth, whatever [is] in it shall be unclean; and ye 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.

Of all meat which may be eaten, [that] on which [such] water cometh shall be unclean: and all drink that may be drank 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.

And every [thing] on which [any part] of their carcass falleth, shall be unclean; [whether] an oven, or ranges for pots, they shall be broken down: [for] 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 fountain or pit, [in which there is] plenty of water, shall be clean: but that which toucheth 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.

And if [any part] of their carcass shall fall upon any sowing-seed which is to 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 [any] water shall be put upon the seed, and [any part] of their carcass shall fall on it, it [shall be] 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 any beast, of which ye may eat, shall die; he that toucheth 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.

And he that eateth of its carcass shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the evening; he also that beareth 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.

And every creeping animal that creepeth upon the earth [shall be] 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 goeth upon the belly, and whatever goeth upon [all] four, or whatever hath more feet among all creeping animals that creep upon the earth, them ye 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.

Ye shall not make your selves abominable with any creeping animal that creepeth, neither shall ye make yourselves unclean with them, that ye should be defiled 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: ye shall therefore sanctify yourselves, and ye shall be holy; for I [am] holy: neither shall ye defile yourselves with any manner of creeping animal that creepeth 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 that bringeth you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: ye 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 beasts, and of the fowl, and of every living creature that moveth in the waters, and of every creature that creepeth upon 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 difference between the unclean and the clean, and between the beast that may be eaten and the beast that may not be eaten.
