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 all the congregation of the children of Israel, and tell 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!
“‘Each one of you shall respect his mother and his father. 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!
“‘Don’t turn to idols, nor 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.
“‘When you offer a sacrifice of peace offerings to the LORD, you shall offer it so that you may be accepted.
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'.
It shall be eaten the same day you offer it, and on the next day. If anything remains until the third day, it shall be burned 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 it is eaten at all on the third day, it is an abomination. It will 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.
but everyone who eats it shall bear his iniquity, because he has profaned the holy thing of the LORD, and that soul shall be cut off 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 reap the harvest of your land, you shall not wholly reap the corners of your field, neither shall you gather the gleanings of your 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!
You shall not glean your vineyard, neither shall you gather the fallen grapes of your vineyard. You shall leave them for the poor and for the foreigner. 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. “‘You shall not deceive one 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!
“‘You shall not swear by my name falsely, and profane 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 oppress your neighbor, nor rob him. “‘The wages of a hired servant shall not remain with you all night 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 curse the deaf, nor put a stumbling block before the blind; but you shall fear your 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.
“‘You shall do no injustice in judgment. You shall not be partial to the poor, nor show favoritism to the great; but you shall judge your neighbor in righteousness.
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 go around as a slanderer among your people. “‘You shall not endanger the life 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. You shall surely rebuke your neighbor, and not bear sin because 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!
“‘You shall not take vengeance, nor bear any grudge against the children of your people; but you shall love your neighbor 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 keep my statutes. “‘You shall not cross-breed different kinds of animals. “‘You shall not sow your field with two kinds of seed; “‘Don’t wear a garment made of two kinds of material.
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 lies carnally with a woman who is a slave girl, pledged to be married to another man, and not ransomed or given her freedom; they shall be punished. 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.
He shall bring his trespass offering to the LORD, to the door of the Tent of Meeting, even 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.
The priest shall make atonement for him with the ram of the trespass offering before the LORD for his sin which he has committed; and the sin which he has committed 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.
“‘When you come into the land, and have planted all kinds of trees for food, then you shall count their fruit as forbidden. For three years it shall be forbidden 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.
But in the fourth year all its fruit shall be holy, for giving 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!
In the fifth year you shall eat its fruit, that it may yield its 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.
“‘You shall not eat any meat with the blood still in it. You shall not use enchantments, nor practice sorcery.
27 Lè nou gen moun mouri, piga nou koupe pafouten nou raz, piga nou taye pwent bab nou,
“‘You shall not cut the hair on the sides of your head or clip off the edge of 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 make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor tattoo any marks on you. 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.
“‘Don’t profane your daughter, to make her a prostitute; lest the land fall to prostitution, and the land become full of wickedness.
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 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!
“‘Don’t turn to those who are mediums, nor to the wizards. Don’t seek them out, 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!
“‘You shall rise up before the gray head and honor the face of the elderly; and you shall fear your God. I am the LORD.
33 Piga nou maltrete moun lòt nasyon ki vin rete nan peyi a ansanm ak nou.
“‘If a stranger lives as a foreigner with you in your land, you shall not do him wrong.
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 who lives as a foreigner with you shall be to you as the native-born among you, and you shall love him as yourself; for you lived as foreigners 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 do no unrighteousness in judgment, in measures of length, of weight, or of quantity.
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!
You shall have just balances, just weights, a just efah, and a just hin. 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!
“‘You shall observe all my statutes and all my ordinances, and do them. I am the LORD.’”
