Levitik 17
1 Seyè a pale ak Moyiz, li di l' konsa:
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
2 -Pale ak Arawon ak pitit gason l' yo epi ak tout moun pèp Izrayèl yo. W'a di yo: Men bagay Seyè a bay lòd pou nou fè:
Speak to Aaron and to his sons, and to all the children of Israel, and you shall say to them, This is the word which the Lord has commanded, saying,
3 Si yonn nan moun Izrayèl yo touye yon towo bèf, yon mouton osinon yon kabrit nan kan kote yo rete a, ou ankò lòt bò limit kan an,
Every man of the children of Israel, or of the strangers dwelling amongst you, who shall kill a calf, or a sheep, or a goat in the camp, or who shall kill it out of the camp,
4 depi se pa devan pòt Tant Randevou a li touye l' pou l' ofri l' bay Seyè a la devan kay Seyè a, moun sa a koupab, li fè yon krim, li fè san koule. Se pou yo wete l' nèt nan mitan moun pèp Bondye a.
and shall not bring it to the door of the tabernacle of witness, so as to sacrifice it for a whole burnt offering or peace-offering to the Lord to be acceptable for a sweet smelling savour: and whoever shall kill it without, and shall not bring it to the door of the tabernacle of witness, so as to offer it as a gift to the Lord before the tabernacle of the Lord; blood shall be imputed to that man, he has shed blood; that soul shall be cut off from his people.
5 Sa vle di: Depi koulye a moun pèp Izrayèl yo gen pou mennen devan Seyè a tout bèt yo te konn touye nan jaden. Se pou yo mennen yo bay prèt la devan pòt Tant Randevou a. Se la y'a touye yo, menm jan yo touye bèt y'ap ofri pou di Bondye mèsi.
That the children of Israel may offer their sacrifices, all that they shall kill in the fields, and bring them to the Lord to the doors of the tabernacle of witness to the priest, and they shall sacrifice them as a peace-offering to the Lord.
6 Prèt la va pran san an, l'a vide l' sou lotèl la, devan pòt Tant Randevou a. L'a boule grès la pou l' fè yon bon sant ki va fè Seyè a plezi.
And the priest shall pour the blood on the altar round about before the Lord by the doors of the tabernacle of witness, and shall offer the fat for a sweet smelling savour to the Lord.
7 Se pou moun pèp Izrayèl yo sispann ofri bèt pou yo touye bay zidòl nan jaden tankou yo te konn fè lè yo te vire do bay Bondye a. Se pou pèp la toujou kenbe lòd sa a de pitit an pitit.
And they shall no longer offer their sacrifices to vain [gods] after which they go a whoring; it shall be a perpetual statute to you for your generations.
8 Epi w'a di yo ankò: Ankenn moun nan pèp Izrayèl la, ni moun lòt nasyon k'ap viv nan mitan yo pa gen dwa touye bèt yo ofri ni pou yo boule nèt ni pou lòt kalite sèvis
And you shall say to them, Whatever man of the children of Israel, or of the sons of the proselytes dwelling amongst you, shall offer a whole burnt offering or a sacrifice,
9 ankenn lòt kote, si se pa devan pòt Tant Randevou a pou li ofri l' bay Seyè a. Si se pa sa, y'a wete l' nèt nan mitan moun pèp Bondye a.
and shall not bring it to the door of the tabernacle of witness to sacrifice it to the Lord, that man shall be destroyed from amongst his people.
10 Pesonn ni nan pèp Izrayèl la, ni pami moun lòt nasyon k'ap viv nan mitan yo pa gen dwa manje vyann ak tout san li ladan l'. Si li fè l', mwen menm Seyè a, mwen p'ap okipe l' ankò, m'ap wete l' nan mitan pèp mwen an.
And whatever man of the children of Israel, or of the strangers dwelling amongst you, shall eat any blood, I will even set my face against that soul that eats blood, and will destroy it from its people.
11 Nanm tout bèt vivan se nan san an li ye. Se poutèt sa, mwen menm Seyè a, mwen mande pou yo vide tout san an sou lotèl la pou li ka wete peche pèp la. Nou bay san an pou nanm nou.
For the life of flesh is its blood, and I have given it to you on the altar to make atonement for your souls; for its blood shall make atonement for the soul.
12 Se poutèt sa Seyè a te di moun pèp Izrayèl yo: Pesonn nan pèp Izrayèl la, ni ankenn moun lòt nasyon k'ap viv nan mitan nou pa gen dwa manje vyann ki gen san ladan l'.
Therefore I said to the children of Israel, No soul of you shall eat blood, and the stranger that abides amongst you shall not eat blood.
13 Lè yon moun nan pèp Izrayèl la osinon yon moun lòt nasyon k'ap viv nan mitan yo al lachas, si li pran yon bèt osinon yon zwazo yo gen dwa manje, l'a vide tout san bèt la atè epi la kouvri l' ak tè.
And whatever man of the children of Israel, or of the strangers dwelling amongst you shall take any animal in hunting, beast, or bird, which is eaten, then shall he pour out the blood, and cover it in the dust.
14 Paske nanm tout bèt vivan se nan san an li ye. Se poutèt sa mwen menm, Seyè a, mwen di moun pèp Izrayèl yo: Yo pa gen dwa manje vyann ankenn bèt ak tout san an ladan l'. Paske se nan san an nanm lan ye. Tout moun ki manje vyann ak san li ladan l', m'ap wete yo nan mitan pèp mwen an.
For the blood of all flesh is its life; and I said to the children of Israel, You shall not eat the blood of any flesh, for the life of all flesh is its blood: every one that eats it shall be destroyed.
15 Mwen pa bezwen konnen si se moun pèp Izrayèl la osinon moun lòt nasyon k'ap viv nan mitan nou, depi yon moun manje vyann yon bèt mouri osinon vyann bèt yon lòt bèt nan bwa ta touye, l'a gen pou l' lave rad ki sou li, l'a benyen nan gwo dlo, epi li p'ap nan kondisyon pou fè sèvis Bondye jouk aswè. Se aprè sa l'a nan kondisyon pou fè sèvis Bondye ankò.
And every soul which eats that which has died of itself, or is taken of beasts, either amongst the natives or amongst the strangers, shall wash his garments, and bathe himself in water, and shall be unclean until evening: then shall he be clean.
16 Men, si li pa lave rad ki sou li yo, si li pa benyen nèt, l'a peye sa l' fè a.
But if he do not wash his garments, and do not bathe his body in water, then shall he bear his iniquity.
