Levitik 17
1 Seyè a pale ak Moyiz, li di l' konsa:
And the Lord spoke unto 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 unto Aaron, and unto his sons, and unto all the children of Israel, and say unto them, This is the thing 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 whatsoever of the house of Israel, that killeth an ox, or a sheep, or a goat, in the camp, or that killeth 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 bringeth it not to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, to offer it as an offering unto the Lord before the tabernacle of the Lord: as blood-guiltiness shall it be imputed unto that man, blood hath he shed; and that man shall be cut off from among 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.
In order that the children of Israel may bring their sacrifices, which they slay in the open field, and bring them unto the Lord, to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, unto the priest, and slay them as sacrifices of peace-offerings unto 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 sprinkle the blood upon the altar of the Lord at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation; and he shall burn the fat for a sweet savor unto 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.
So that they shall offer no more their sacrifices unto evil spirits, after which they have gone astray: a statute for ever shall this be unto them throughout their 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 unto them shalt thou say, Whatsoever man there be of the house of Israel, or of the strangers who may sojourn among them, that offereth a 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 bringeth it not unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, to offer it unto the Lord: even that man shall be cut off 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.
And if there be any man of the house of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn among them, that eateth any manner of blood: I will set my face against the person that eateth the blood, and I 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.
For the life of the flesh is in the blood; and I have appointed it for you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls; for the blood it is that maketh an 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 have I said unto the children of Israel, No one of you shall eat blood, and the stranger that sojourneth among 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 if there be any man whatsoever of the children of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn among them, who catcheth by hunting any beast or fowl that may be eaten: then shall he pour out the blood thereof, and cover it up with 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 life of all flesh is its blood, on which its life dependeth; therefore have I said unto the children of Israel, The blood of every manner of flesh shall ye not eat; for the life of all flesh is its blood, every one who 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.
And every person that eateth that which hath died of itself, or that which was torn by beasts, be this one born in your own country, or a stranger, shall both wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the evening, when he shall 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 wash [them] not, nor bathe his flesh, then shall he bear his iniquity.
