Levitik 18
1 Seyè a pale ak Moyiz, li di l' konsa:
And the Lord spoke unto Moses, saying,
2 -Pale ak moun pèp Izrayèl yo, w'a di yo: Se mwen menm ki Seyè a, Bondye nou an!
Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto 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.
After the doings of the Land of Egypt, wherein ye have dwelt, shall ye not do; and after the doings of the land of Canaan whither I am bringing you, shall ye not do; and in their customs shall ye not walk.
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.
My ordinances shall ye do, and my statutes shall ye keep, to walk therein: 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!
And ye shall keep my statutes, and my ordinances, 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.
None of you shall approach to any that are near of kin to him, to uncover their 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.
The nakedness of thy father, or the nakedness of thy mother, shalt thou not uncover: 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.
The nakedness of thy father's wife shalt thou not uncover: it is thy father's nakedness.
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'.
The nakedness of thy sister, the daughter of thy father, or the daughter of thy mother, whether she be born at home, or born abroad, —even the nakedness of any of these shalt thou not uncover.
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.
The nakedness of thy son's daughter, or of thy daughter's daughter, —even the nakedness of any of these, shalt thou not uncover; for theirs is thy own nakedness.
11 Piga ou kouche pitit fi madanm papa ou. Se pou ou konsidere l' tankou pwòp sè ou.
The nakedness of thy father's wife's daughter, begotten of thy father, she is thy sister, —thou shalt not uncover her nakedness.
12 Piga ou kouche matant ou, kit se matant bò papa,
The nakedness of thy father's sister shalt thou not uncover: she is thy father's near kinswoman.
13 kit se bò manman.
The nakedness of thy mother's sister shalt thou not uncover; for she is thy mother's near kinswoman.
14 Piga ou kouche madanm tonton ou bò papa. Se pou ou konsidere l' tankou matant ou.
The nakedness of thy father's brother shalt thou not uncover: his wife shalt thou not approach, she is thy aunt.
15 Piga ou kouche bèlfi ou: se madanm pitit gason ou li ye. Pa jete dezonè sou li.
The nakedness of thy daughter-in-law shalt thou not uncover: she is thy son's wife, thou shalt not uncover her nakedness.
16 Piga ou kouche madanm frè ou. Pa jete dezonè sou frè ou.
The nakedness of thy brother's wife shalt thou not uncover: it is thy brother's nakedness.
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!
The nakedness of a woman and her daughter shalt thou not uncover: her son's daughter, or her daughter's daughter shalt thou not take, to uncover her nakedness; for they are near kinswomen; it 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.
And a woman together with her sister shalt thou not take, to vex her, to uncover her nakedness, beside the other, in her lifetime.
19 Piga ou kouche yon fanm ki gen règ li, paske lè sa a li pa nan kondisyon pou fè sèvis Bondye.
And a woman in the separation of her uncleanness shalt thou not approach, to 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.
And with thy neighbor's wife shalt thou not lie carnally, to defile thyself with her.
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.
And any of thy seed shalt thou not let pass through [the fire] to Molech, and thou shalt not profane 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.
And with a man shalt thou not lie, as with a woman: 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.
And with any beast shalt thou not lie to defile thyself therewith; neither shall any woman stand before a beast to lie down thereto: it is confusion.
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.
Do not defile yourselves through any of these things.; for through all these have become defiled the nations which I 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 the land became defiled; wherefore I have visited its iniquity upon it, and the land itself vomited 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.
Ye shall therefore keep my statutes and my ordinances, and ye shall not commit any of these abominations; neither any of your own nation, nor the 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 abominations have the men of the land done, who were before you, and the land hath become defiled; )
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.
That the land may not vomit you out also, when ye defile it, as it hath vomited out the nations that were before you.
29 Depi yon moun fè yonn nan bagay sal sa yo, y'ap wete l' nan mitan pèp Bondye a.
For whosoever shall commit any of these abominations, — even the souls that commit them shall be cut off from among their 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!
Therefore shall ye keep my charge, so that ye commit not any one of these abominable customs, which were committed before you, and that ye do not defile yourselves therewith: I am the Lord your God.
