Levitik 18
1 Seyè a pale ak Moyiz, li di l' konsa:
And the LORD spake 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 dwelt, shall ye not do: and after the doings of the land of Canaan, whither I bring you, shall ye not do: neither shall ye walk in their statutes.
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 judgments 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!
Ye shall therefore keep my statutes, 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.
None of you shall approach to any that is 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, even 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 born at home, or born abroad, even their nakedness thou shalt 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 their nakedness thou shalt not uncover: for theirs is thine 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,
Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy father’s sister: she is thy father’s near kinswoman.
13 kit se bò manman.
Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy mother’s sister: 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.
Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy father’s brother, thou shalt not approach to his wife: she is thine aunt.
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: 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.
Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy brother’s wife: 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!
Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of a woman and her daughter; thou shalt not take her son’s daughter, or her daughter’s daughter, to uncover her nakedness; they are near kinswomen: it is wickedness.
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 thou shalt not take a woman to her sister, to be a rival [to her], to uncover her nakedness, beside the other in her life time.
19 Piga ou kouche yon fanm ki gen règ li, paske lè sa a li pa nan kondisyon pou fè sèvis Bondye.
And thou shalt not approach unto a woman to uncover her nakedness, as long as she is impure by her uncleanness.
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 thou shalt not lie carnally with thy neighbour’s wife, 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 thou shalt not give any of thy seed to make them pass through [the fire] to Molech, neither shalt thou 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.
Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is 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 thou shalt not lie with any beast 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.
Defile not ye yourselves in any of these things: for in all these the nations are defiled which I cast out from 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 is defiled: therefore I do visit the iniquity thereof upon it, and the land vomiteth out her 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 therefore shall keep my statutes and my judgments, and shall not do any of these abominations; neither the homeborn, 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, which were before you, and the land is 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 vomit not you out also, when ye defile it, 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.
For whosoever shall do any of these abominations, even the souls that do 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, that ye do not any of these abominable customs, which were done before you, and that ye defile not yourselves therein: I am the LORD your God.
