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 his sons, and to all the children of Israel, saying to them: This is the word, which the Lord hath 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,
Any man whosoever of the house of Israel if he kill an ox, or a sheep, or a goat in the camp, or without 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 offer it not at the door of the tabernacle an oblation to the Lord, shall be guilty of blood: as if he had shed blood, so shall he perish from the midst of 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.
Therefore the children of Israel shall bring to the priest their victims, which they kill in the field, that they may be sanctified to the Lord before the door of the tabernacle of the testimony, and they may sacrifice them for peace offerings 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 upon the altar of the Lord, at the door of the tabernacle of the testimony, and shall burn the fat for a sweet odour 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 more sacrifice their victims to devils, with whom they have committed fornication. It shall be an ordinance for ever to them and to their posterity.
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 thou shalt say to them: The man of the house of Israel, and of the strangers who sojourn among you, that offereth a holocaust or a victim,
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 bringeth it not to the door of the tabernacle of the testimony, that it may be offered to the Lord, shall perish from among 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.
If any man whosoever of the house of Israel, and of the strangers that sojourn among them, eat blood, I will set my face against his soul, and will cut him off from among his 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.
Because the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you, that you may make atonement with it upon the altar for your souls, and the blood may be for an expiation of 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 have said to the children of Israel: No soul of you, nor of the strangers that sojourn among you, shall 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.
Any man whosoever of the children of Israel, and of the strangers that sojourn among you, if by hunting or fowling, he take a wild beast or a bird, which is lawful to eat, let him pour out its blood, and cover it with earth.
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 life of all flesh is in the blood: therefore I said to the children of Israel: You shall not eat the blood of any flesh at all, because the life of the flesh is in the blood, and whosoever eateth it, shall be cut off.
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.
The soul that eateth that which died of itself, or has been caught by a beast, whether he be one of your own country or a stranger, shall wash his clothes and himself with water, and shall be defiled until the evening: and in this manner he shall be made 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 clothes, and his body, he shall bear his iniquity.
