Levitik 19
1 Seyè a pale ak Moyiz, li di l' konsa:
And the Lord spoke unto 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 unto all the congregation of the children of Israel, and say unto them, Ye shall be holy; for I the Eternal 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!
Ye shall fear, every man, his mother and his father, and my sabbaths shall ye keep: 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!
Ye shall not turn unto the idols, and molten gods shall ye not make to 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.
And if ye offer a sacrifice of peace-offering unto the Lord, ye shall offer it so that it may be favorably received from you.
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'.
On the same day ye offer it shall it be eaten, and on the morrow: and whatever is left until the third day, shall be 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 the intention was that it should be eaten on the third day, it is an abomination, it shall not be favorably received.
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 whoever eateth it shall bear his iniquity; because he hath profaned the hallowed thing of the Lord: and that soul shall be cut off from among 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.
And when ye reap the harvest of your land, thou shalt not wholly reap the corners of thy field, neither shalt thou gather up the gleanings of thy harvest.
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 thou shalt not glean thy vineyard, and the single grapes that drop in thy vineyard shalt thou not gather up; for the poor and the stranger shalt thou leave them: 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.
Ye shall not steal; neither shall ye deny [another's property in your hands], nor lie one to another.
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 ye shall not swear by my name falsely, and thou shalt not thus profane the name of thy 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.
Thou shalt not withhold any thing from thy neighbor, nor rob him: there shall not abide with thee the wages of him that is hired, through the night until 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!
Thou shalt not curse the deaf, nor put a stumbling-block before the blind; but thou shalt be afraid of thy God: 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.
Ye shall do no unrighteousness in judgment; thou shalt not respect the person of the poor, nor honor the person of the great; in righteousness shalt thou judge thy neighbor.
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!
Thou shalt not go up and down as a talebearer among thy people; thou shalt not stand [idly] by the blood of thy 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.
Thou shalt not hate thy brother in thy heart: thou shalt indeed rebuke thy neighbor, and not bear sin on account of 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!
Thou shalt not avenge, nor bear any grudge against the children of thy people; but thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself: 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.
My statutes shall ye keep; thy cattle shalt thou not let gender with a diverse kind; thy field shalt thou not sow with mingled seeds; and a garment of mingled kinds, of linen and woollen, shall not come upon thee.
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 a man lie carnally with a woman, that is a bond-maid, betrothed to a man, but who hath neither been redeemed, nor hath her freedom been given her: there shall a scourging be decreed; they shall not be put to death, because she was not free.
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 his trespass-offering unto the Lord, unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation: 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 an atonement for him with the ram of the trespass-offering before the Lord for his sin which he hath done; and he shall be forgiven for his sin which he hath committed.
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 when ye come into the land, and plant any kind of tree bearing edible fruit, then shall ye count the fruit thereof as uncircumcised: three years shall it be as uncircumcised unto 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.
But in the fourth year shall all its fruit be holy for praise-giving unto 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 shall ye eat of its fruit, in order that it may increase unto you its productiveness: 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.
Ye shall not eat upon the blood; nor shall ye use enchantment, nor observe times.
27 Lè nou gen moun mouri, piga nou koupe pafouten nou raz, piga nou taye pwent bab nou,
Ye shall not cut round the corners [of the hair] of your head, neither shalt thou destroy the corners of thy 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 for the dead shall ye not make any incision in your flesh; and any etched-in writing shall you not fix on yourselves: 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 profane thy daughter, to cause her to be a prostitute; lest the land fall to prostitution, and the land become full of incest.
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!
My sabbaths shall ye keep, and my sanctuary shall ye reverence: 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!
Turn not unto them that have familiar spirits, and unto wizards; seek [them] not, to be defiled by 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!
Before the hoary head shalt thou rise up, and honor the face of the old man; and thou shalt be afraid of thy God: I am the Lord.
33 Piga nou maltrete moun lòt nasyon ki vin rete nan peyi a ansanm ak nou.
And if a stranger sojourn with thee, in your land, ye shall not vex 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!
As one born in the land among you, shall be unto you the stranger that sojourneth with you, and thou shalt love him as thyself; for ye 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.
Ye shall do no unrighteousness in judgment, in meteyard, in weight, or in measure.
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!
Just balances, just weights, a just ephah, and a just hin, shall ye have: I am the Lord your God, who have brought you forth 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!
Ye shall therefore observe all my statutes, and all my ordinances, and do them: I am the Lord.
