Levitik 19
1 Seyè a pale ak Moyiz, li di l' konsa:
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 entire assembly of the sons of Israel, and you shall say to them: 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 each one fear his father and his mother. Observe 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!
Do not be willing to convert to idols, neither should you make molten gods for yourselves. 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.
If you immolate a victim of peace offerings to the Lord, so that he may be appeased,
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'.
you shall eat it on the same day as when it was immolated, and the next day. Then whatever will remain on the third day you shall burn 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.
If anyone, after two days, will have eaten from it, he shall be profane and guilty of impiety.
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 shall bear his iniquity, for he has polluted what is holy to the Lord. And that soul shall perish from his 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.
When you will have harvested the grain fields of your land, you shall not cut it down to the surface of the land, even to the ground, nor shall you gather the remaining ears of grain.
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!
Neither shall you gather the clusters or individual grapes which fall down in your vineyard, but you shall leave them for paupers and travelers to take. 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 anyone deceive his neighbor.
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!
You shall not commit perjury in my name, nor shall you pollute the name of your God. I am the Lord.
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 slander your neighbor, nor shall you oppress him by violence. The wages of a hired hand, you shall not delay with you until tomorrow.
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 speak evil of the deaf, nor shall you place a stumbling block before the blind, but you shall fear the Lord your God, for I am the Lord.
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 do what is unjust, nor shall you judge unjustly. You shall not consider the reputation of the poor, nor shall you honor the countenance of the powerful. Judge your neighbor justly.
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 be a detractor, nor a whisperer, among the people. You shall not stand against the blood of your neighbor. I am the Lord.
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, but reprove him openly, lest you have sin over him.
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!
Do not seek revenge, neither should you be mindful of the injury of your fellow citizens. You shall love your friend 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.
Observe my laws. You shall not cause your cattle to breed with other kinds of animals. You shall not sow your field with diverse seeds. You shall not be clothed with a garment which has been woven from two things.
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.
If a man will have slept in sexual intercourse with a woman, who is a servant and who is also able to be married, and yet he has not redeemed her with a price, nor paid to set her free, they both shall be beaten, but they shall not die, for she was not a free woman.
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.
But, for his offense, he shall offer a ram to the Lord at the door of the tabernacle of the testimony.
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 pray for him, and for his sin, before the Lord, and he shall win his favor again for him, and the sin shall be forgiven.
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.
When you will have entered into the land, and will have planted in it fruit trees, you shall take away their first-fruits; the fruit that germinates shall be unclean to you, neither shall you eat from these.
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.
But in the fourth year, all their fruit shall be sanctified for the praise of 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 produce, gathering the fruits which are brought forth. 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.
You shall not eat with blood. You shall not practice divination, nor the observation of dreams.
27 Lè nou gen moun mouri, piga nou koupe pafouten nou raz, piga nou taye pwent bab nou,
And you shall not cut the hair of your head circularly, nor shave 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!
You shall not cut your flesh for the dead, and you shall not make other figures or marks on yourself. I am the Lord.
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.
Do not prostitute your daughter, lest the land be contaminated and filled with crimes.
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!
Observe my Sabbaths, and be apprehensive toward my Sanctuary. 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!
Do not turn aside to astrologers, nor consult with soothsayers, so as to be polluted through 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!
Rise up in the presence of a gray-haired head, and honor the reputation of an elder, and fear the Lord your God. I am the Lord.
33 Piga nou maltrete moun lòt nasyon ki vin rete nan peyi a ansanm ak nou.
If a newcomer lives in your land and abides among you, do not reproach 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!
but let him be among you like one native born. And you shall love him as yourselves. For you were also newcomers 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.
Do not be willing to accomplish iniquity in judgment, in lengths, in weights, in quantities.
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!
Let the scales be just and the weights equal, let the dry measure be just and the liquid measure be equal. I am the Lord your God, who led you away from 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!
Keep all my precepts, and all my judgments, and accomplish them. I am the Lord.
