Levitik 18
1 Seyè a pale ak Moyiz, li di l' konsa:
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
2 -Pale ak moun pèp Izrayèl yo, w'a di yo: Se mwen menm ki Seyè a, Bondye nou an!
Speak to the children of Israel, and thou shalt say to them: I am the Lord your God.
3 Piga nou janm fè menm jan ak moun peyi Lejip kote nou te ye a, ni tankou moun peyi Kanaran kote mwen pral mennen nou an. Piga nou swiv mès yo.
You shall not do according to the custom of the land of Egypt, in which you dwelt: neither shall you act according to the manner of the country of Chanaan, into which I will bring you, nor shall you walk in their ordinances.
4 Se pou nou swiv lòd mwen ban nou. Se pou nou fè sa mwen di nou fè. Se pou nou mache dapre prensip mwen ban nou. Se mwen menm ki Seyè a, Bondye nou an.
You shall do my judgments, and shall observe my precepts, and shall walk in them. I am the Lord your God.
5 Se pou nou swiv regleman ak lòd mwen ban nou yo. Gremesi sa m' di nou fè a, tout moun ki koute m' va jwenn lavi. Se mwen menm ki Seyè a!
Keep my laws and my judgments, which if a man do, he shall live in them. I am the Lord.
6 Apre sa, Seyè a bay regleman sa yo: -Piga pesonn kouche yon fanm ki fanmi pre l'. Se mwen menm ki Seyè a.
No man shall approach to her that is near of kin to him, to uncover her nakedness. I am the Lord.
7 Piga ou jete dezonè sou papa ou pou ou kouche madanm li, se manman ou li ye. Pa jete dezonè sou manman ou.
Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy father, or the nakedness of thy mother: she is thy mother, thou shalt not uncover her nakedness.
8 Piga ou jete dezonè sou papa ou pou ou kouche yonn nan fanm kay papa ou yo.
Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy father’s wife: for it is the nakedness of thy father.
9 Piga ou kouche sè ou, li te mèt menm papa osinon menm manman avè ou, kit li te elve nan menm kay avè ou, kit li te elve lòt kote. Piga ou kouche l'.
Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy sister by father or by mother, whether born at home or abroad.
10 Piga ou kouche pitit fi pitit gason ou osinon pitit fi pitit fi ou. Se va sou pwòp tèt ou w'a jete dezonè.
Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy son’s daughter, or thy daughter’s daughter: because it is thy own nakedness.
11 Piga ou kouche pitit fi madanm papa ou. Se pou ou konsidere l' tankou pwòp sè ou.
Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy father’s wife’s daughter, whom she bore to thy father, and who is thy sister.
12 Piga ou kouche matant ou, kit se matant bò papa,
Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy father’s sister: because she is the flesh of thy father.
13 kit se bò manman.
Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy mother’s sister: because she is thy mother’s flesh.
14 Piga ou kouche madanm tonton ou bò papa. Se pou ou konsidere l' tankou matant ou.
Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy father’s brother: neither shalt thou approach to his wife, who is joined to thee by affinity.
15 Piga ou kouche bèlfi ou: se madanm pitit gason ou li ye. Pa jete dezonè sou li.
Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy daughter in law: because she is thy son’s wife, neither shalt thou discover her shame.
16 Piga ou kouche madanm frè ou. Pa jete dezonè sou frè ou.
Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy brother’s wife: because it is the nakedness of thy brother.
17 Piga ou kouche pitit fi osinon pitit pitit fi yon madanm ki te nan afè avè ou deja. Pa kouche yo. Se tankou si se te fanmi pre ou yo te ye. Si ou fè sa, se va yon wont!
Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy wife and her daughter. Thou shalt not take her son’s daughter or her daughter’s daughter, to discover her shame: because they are her flesh, and such copulation is incest.
18 Piga ou pran yonn nan sè madanm ou pou yonn nan pwòp madanm ou yo toutotan madanm ou vivan. Sa ka mete yon jalouzi nan mitan yo.
Thou shalt not take thy wife’s sister for a harlot, to rival her, neither shalt thou discover her nakedness, while she is yet living.
19 Piga ou kouche yon fanm ki gen règ li, paske lè sa a li pa nan kondisyon pou fè sèvis Bondye.
Thou shalt not approach to a woman having her flowers, neither shalt thou uncover her nakedness.
20 Piga ou kouche madanm yon frè parèy ou, paske lè nou fè sa, ni ou ni fanm lan, nou pa nan kondisyon pou fè sèvis Bondye.
Thou shalt not lie with thy neighbour’s wife, nor be defiled with mingling of seed.
21 Piga ou janm bay yonn nan pitit fi ou yo tankou ofrann pou yo boule bay zidòl yo rele Molòk la, paske lè sa a w'a fè yo derespekte non Bondye. Se mwen menm ki Seyè a.
Thou shalt not give any of thy seed to be consecrated to the idol Moloch, nor defile the name of thy God: I am the Lord.
22 Piga yon gason kouche yon lòt gason tankou yo kouche yon fanm: Se bagay Bondye pi pa vle wè.
Thou shalt not lie with mankind as with womankind, because it is an abomination.
23 Ni fanm ni gason pa gen dwa kwaze ak zannimo. Se bagay k'ap mete yo nan kondisyon pou yo pa ka fè sèvis Bondye. Se bagay sal nèt.
Thou shalt not copulate with any beast, neither shalt thou be defiled with it. A woman shall not lie down to a beast, nor copulate with it: because it is a heinous crime.
24 Piga nou janm fè bagay sa yo k'ap mete nou nan kondisyon pou nou pa ka fè sèvis Bondye. Se bagay konsa pèp lòt nasyon ki t'ap viv nan peyi a anvan nou yo te konn fè. Se poutèt sa Seyè a ap mete yo deyò pou nou ka pran plas yo.
Defile not yourselves with any of these things with which all the nations have been defiled, which I will cast out before you,
25 Yo te mete tout peyi a nan move kondisyon ak sa yo t'ap fè a. Se konsa mwen menm Seyè a, m'ap peni peyi a, m'ap fè l' voye moun ki rete sou li yo jete deyò.
And with which the land is defiled: the abominations of which I will visit, that it may vomit out its inhabitants.
26 Men nou menm, se pou nou kenbe tout lòd ak tout kòmandman mwen ban nou yo. Piga pesonn ni nan nou, ni nan moun lòt nasyon k'ap viv nan mitan nou yo fè ankenn nan bagay mwen pa vle wè yo.
Keep ye my ordinances and my judgments, and do not any of these abominations: neither any of your own nation, nor any stranger that sojourneth among you.
27 Se paske moun ki te rete nan peyi a anvan nou yo te fè tout kalite bagay sa yo, kifè yo te mete peyi a nan move kondisyon sa a.
For all these detestable things the inhabitants of the land have done, that; were before you, and have defiled it.
28 Konsa tou, si nou mete peyi a nan move kondisyon, peyi a pral voye nou jete deyò menm jan li te fè l' pou pèp ki te la anvan nou yo.
Beware then, lest in like manner, it vomit you also out, if you do the like things, as it vomited out the nation that was before you.
29 Depi yon moun fè yonn nan bagay sal sa yo, y'ap wete l' nan mitan pèp Bondye a.
Every soul that shall commit any of these abominations, shall perish from the midst of his people.
30 Epi Seyè a di: -Se pou nou kenbe lòd mwen yo. Pa swiv move mès moun ki te rete nan peyi a anvan nou yo. Pa fè vye bagay sa yo k'ap mete nou nan kondisyon pou nou pa ka fè sèvis Bondye. Se mwen menm ki Seyè a, Bondye nou an!
Keep my commandments. Do not the things which they have done, that have been before you, and be not defiled therein. I am the Lord your God.
