Levitik 19
1 Seyè a pale ak Moyiz, li di l' konsa:
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
2 -Pale ak tout moun ki fè pati pèp Izrayèl la. W'a di yo: Se pou nou viv apa pou mwen paske mwen menm, Seyè a, Bondye nou an, mwen se yon Bondye apa.
Speak to the congregation of the children of Israel, and you shall say to them, You shall be holy; for I the Lord your God [am] holy.
3 Se pou nou tout respekte manman ak papa nou. Se pou nou respekte regleman jou repo mwen yo. Se mwen menm ki Seyè a, Bondye nou an!
Let every one of you reverence his father and his mother; and you shall keep my sabbaths: I [am] the Lord your God.
4 Pa janm vire do ban mwen pou n' al sèvi zidòl. Piga nou janm fonn metal pou fè estati ki pou sèvi nou bondye. Se mwen menm ki Seyè a, Bondye nou an!
You shall not follow idols, and you shall not make to yourselves molten gods: I [am] the Lord your God.
5 Lè n'ap touye bèt pou fè ofrann pou di Seyè a mèsi, se pou nou fè l' jan mwen mande l' la pou m' ka asepte l' nan men nou.
And if you will sacrifice a peace-offering to the Lord, you shall offer it acceptable from yourselves.
6 Se pou nou manje vyann bèt yo ofri ban mwen an menm jou a, osinon nan denmen. Men, sou twazyèm jou a, tout sa ki rete nan vyann lan, se pou nou boule l'.
In what day soever you shall sacrifice it, it shall be eaten; and on the following day, and if any of it should be left till the third day, it shall be thoroughly burnt with fire.
7 Paske si nou manje l' sou twazyèm jou a, se yon manje gate li ye! Seyè a p'ap asepte l' nan men nou.
And if it should be at all eaten on the third day, it is unfit for sacrifice: it shall not be accepted.
8 Se poutèt sa, tout moun ki va manje yon vyann konsa va gen pou peye pou sa l' fè a, paske li pa respekte bagay yo te mete apa pou mwen. Moun konsa se pou nou wete yo nan mitan pèp mwen an.
And he that eats it shall bear his iniquity, because he has profaned the holy things of the Lord; and the souls that eat it shall be destroyed from amongst their people.
9 Lè n'ap ranmase rekòt nan jaden nou, se pa pou nou ranmase sa ki toupre lizyè jaden an, ni nou pa bezwen tounen dèyè pou nou ranmase ti grenn ki te tonbe atè.
And when you reap the harvest of your land, you shall not complete the reaping of your field with exactness, and you shall not gather that which falls from your reaping.
10 Nou pa bezwen tounen nan jaden rezen an pou nou ranmase dènye ti grap rezen yo te bliye, osinon pou nou ranmase ti grenn rezen ki te tonbe atè. N'a kite sa pou moun peyi a ki pa gen anyen, ak pou moun lòt nasyon k'ap viv nan mitan nou yo. Se mwen menm ki Seyè a, Bondye nou an!
And you shall not go over the gathering of your vineyard, neither shall you gather the remaining grapes of your vineyard: you shall leave them for the poor and the stranger: I am the Lord your God.
11 Piga nou pran sa ki pa pou nou. Piga nou yonn twonpe lòt. Piga nou bay frè parèy nou manti.
You shall not steal, you shall not lie, neither shall one bear false witness as an informer against his neighbour.
12 Piga nou pran non m' pou fè sèman pou twonpe moun. Si nou fè sa, se derespekte n'ap derespekte non Bondye nou an. Se mwen menm ki Seyè a!
And you shall not swear unjustly by my name, and you shall not profane the holy name of your God: I am the Lord your God.
13 Piga nou pwofite sou moun menm ras ak nou. Lè lè pou nou peye moun ki travay pou nou an rive, peye l' lajan l'. Piga nou voye l' pou denmen maten.
You shall not injure your neighbour, neither do you rob [him], neither shall the wages of your hireling remain with you until the morning.
14 Piga ou madichonnen moun soud. Piga ou mete ankenn bagay sou chemen moun avèg pou fè yo tonbe. Se pou nou gen krentif pou mwen. Se mwen menm ki Seyè a!
You shall not revile the deaf, neither shall you put a stumbling block in the way of the blind; and you shall fear the Lord your God: I am the Lord your God.
15 Piga nou fè lenjistis lè nou nan tribinal. Piga nou fè patipri pou pòv. Piga nou achte figi grannèg. N'a rann jistis pou tout frè parèy nou san fè paspouki.
You shall not act unjustly in judgement: you shall not accept the person of the poor, nor admire the person of the mighty; with justice shall you judge your neighbour.
16 Pa mache bay manti sou moun menm ras avèk nou. Piga nou kanpe pou fè yo touye san rezon yon moun menm ras avèk nou. Se mwen menm ki Seyè a!
You shall not walk deceitfully amongst your people; you shall not rise up against the blood of your neighbour: I am the Lord your God.
17 Piga nou kenbe frè nou nan kè. Si yo gen kichòy avèk nou, regle sa la pou la. Konsa, yo p'ap lakòz nou tonbe nan peche.
You shall not hate your brother in your heart: you shall in any wise rebuke your neighbour, so you shall not bear sin on his account.
18 Piga nou tire revanj sou pesonn. Piga nou kenbe moun menm ras ak nou nan kè, men se pou nou renmen yo tankou nou renmen pwòp tèt pa nou. Se mwen menm ki Seyè a!
And your hand shall not avenge you; and you shall not be angry with the children of your people; and you shall love your neighbour as yourself; I am the Lord.
19 Se pou nou kenbe lòd mwen ban nou yo. Piga nou kwaze de zannimo ki pa menm kalite. Piga nou plante de kalite plant anmenmtan nan jaden nou. Piga nou mete sou nou rad depaman.
You shall observe my law: you shall not let your cattle gender with one of a different kind, and you shall not sow your vineyard with diverse seed; and you shall not put upon yourself a mingled garment woven of two [materials].
20 Lè yon moun te gen tan pwomèt vann yon esklav fi bay yon nonm pou madanm, men lòt nonm lan poko peye pou esklav la, ni li menm li poko ba li libète l', si li kouche fi a, se pou yo peni yo san yo pa bezwen touye yo, paske fanm lan te esklav li toujou.
And if any one lie carnally with a woman, and she should be a home-servant kept for a man, and she has not been ransomed, [and] her freedom has not been given to her, they shall be visited [with punishment]; but they shall not die, because she was not set at liberty.
21 Nonm lan va mennen yon belye mouton devan pòt Tant Randevou a, l'a ofri l' bay Seyè a pou peye pou sa l' fè a.
And he shall bring for his trespass to the Lord to the door of the tabernacle of witness, a ram for a trespass-offering.
22 Prèt la va pran belye mouton an, l'a fè sèvis pou l' mande Bondye gras pou peche li te fè a epi Bondye va padonnen l' sa.
And the priest shall make atonement for him with the ram of the trespass-offering, before the Lord, for the sin which he sinned; and the sin which he sinned shall be forgiven him.
23 Le n'a antre nan peyi Kanaran an, apre n'a fin plante tout kalite pyebwa ki ka donnen, n'a konsidere rekòt twa premye lanne yo tankou bagay ki pa bon pou nou manje. Pandan twazan, piga nou manje anyen nan rekòt la.
And whenever you shall enter into the land which the Lord your God gives you, and shall plant any fruit tree, then shall you purge away its uncleanness; its fruit shall be three years uncleansed to you, it shall not be eaten.
24 Lè katriyèm lanne a vin rive, n'a pran tout rekòt katriyèm lanne a, n'a ofri l' ban mwen, mwen menm Seyè a, pou nou moutre jan nou genyen m' rekonesans.
And in the fourth year all its fruit shall be holy, a subject of praise to the Lord.
25 Men sou senkyèm lanne a, nou ka manje donn yo. Si nou fè sa konsa, pyebwa nou yo va donnen pi plis toujou. Se mwen menm ki Seyè a, Bondye nou an!
And in the fifth year you shall eat the fruit, its produce is an increase to you. I am the Lord your God.
26 Piga nou manje ankenn vyann ak tout san li ladan l'. Piga nou chache konnen davans bagay ki gen pou rive nou nan lavi. Pa etidye pozisyon zetwal pou chache konnen sa ki pral rive sou latè.
Eat not on the mountains, nor shall you employ auguries, nor divine by inspection of birds.
27 Lè nou gen moun mouri, piga nou koupe pafouten nou raz, piga nou taye pwent bab nou,
You shall not make a round cutting of the hair of your head, nor disfigure your beard.
28 piga nou make kò nou avèk kout kouto, ni piga nou fè desen ak lank sou kò nou. Se mwen menm ki Seyè a!
And you shall not make cuttings in your body for a [dead] body, and you shall not inscribe on yourselves any marks. I am the Lord your God.
29 Piga nou avili pitit fi nou yo pou nou voye yo fè jennès nan tanp zidòl yo. Si nou fè sa, tout peyi a va vire al jwenn zidòl yo. Lè sa a, tout moun va lage kò yo nan fè sa ki mal.
You shall not profane your daughter to prostitute her; so the land shall not go a whoring, and the land be filled with iniquity.
30 Se pou nou respekte regleman jou repo mwen yo. Se pou nou respekte kay ki apa pou mwen an. Se mwen menm ki Seyè a!
You shall keep my sabbaths, and reverence my sanctuaries: I am the Lord.
31 Piga n' al konsilte moun k'ap rele mò nan tab tounant osinon moun k'ap fè divinò. Si nou fè sa, n'ap tounen tankou moun sa yo, nou p'ap nan kondisyon pou fè sèvis pou mwen. Se mwen menm ki Seyè a, Bondye nou an!
You shall not attend to those who have in them divining spirits, nor attach yourselves to enchanters, to pollute yourselves with them: I am the Lord your God.
32 Toujou leve kanpe devan granmoun cheve blan. Respekte figi vye granmoun, paske nou gen krentif pou mwen menm, Bondye nou an. Se mwen menm ki Seyè a!
You shall rise up before the hoary head, and honour the face of the old man, and shall fear your God: I am the Lord your God.
33 Piga nou maltrete moun lòt nasyon ki vin rete nan peyi a ansanm ak nou.
And if there should come to you a stranger in your land, you shall not afflict him.
34 Se pou nou aji ak yo menm jan nou gen pou nou aji ak moun natif natal peyi a. Se pou nou renmen yo tankou nou renmen pwòp tèt pa nou. Pa bliye nou menm tou yon lè nou te rete nan peyi Lejip ki pa t' peyi pa nou! Se mwen menm ki Seyè a, Bondye nou an!
The stranger that comes to you shall be amongst you as the native, and you shall love him as yourself; for you were strangers in the land of Egypt: I am the Lord your God.
35 Piga nou fè lenjistis nan tribinal. Piga nou twonpe moun lè n'ap mezire longè yon bagay, lè n'ap peze nan balans, lè n'ap mezire pa mamit.
You shall not act unrighteously in judgement, in measures and weights and scales.
36 N'a toujou gen bon balans, bon pwa, bon lòn, bon mezi. Se mwen menm ki Seyè a, Bondye nou an. Se mwen menm ki te fè nou soti kite peyi Lejip!
There shall be amongst you just balances and just weights and just liquid measure. I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt.
37 Se pou nou kenbe tout lòd ak tout kòmandman mwen ban nou yo. Se pou nou swiv yo. Se mwen menm ki Seyè a!
And you shall keep all my law and all my ordinances, and you shall do them: I am the Lord your God.
