Levitik 20
1 Seyè a pale ak Moyiz, li di l' konsa:
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
2 -Men sa pou ou di moun pèp Izrayèl yo: Depi yon moun bay yonn nan pitit li yo pou sèvi nan sèvis zidòl Molòk, li te mèt moun peyi a osinon moun lòt nasyon k'ap viv nan peyi a, se pou yo touye l'. Wi, tout moun nan peyi a va kalonnen l' wòch jouk li mouri.
You shall speak these things to the sons of Israel: A man among the sons Israel, or among the newcomers who live in Israel, if he will have given from his seed to the idol Moloch, he shall be put to death: the people of the land shall stone him.
3 Mwen menm bò pa m', mwen p'ap okipe l' ankò, m'ap wete l' nan mitan pèp mwen an. Paske li te bay yonn nan pitit li yo pou sèvi nan sèvis Molòk, li mete kay ki apa pou mwen an nan kondisyon yo pa ka fè sèvis ladan l' pou mwen, li derespekte non mwen.
And I will set my face against him. And I will cut him down from the midst of his people, because he has given from his seed to Moloch, and he has contaminated my Sanctuary, and polluted my holy name.
4 Men, si moun ki nan peyi a fèmen je yo sou sa nonm lan fè a, lè li te bay pitit li pou fè sèvis pou Molòk la, si yo pa touye l',
But if the people of the land, having been neglectful and holding little regard for my authority, release the man who has given from his seed to Moloch, and they are not willing to kill him,
5 se mwen menm ki p'ap okipe l' ankò, li menm ak tout fanmi l'. M'ap wete yo nan mitan pèp mwen an, ni li, ni nenpòt lòt moun k'ap vire do ban mwen tankou l' pou y al sèvi Molòk.
I will set my face over that man and over his kindred, and I will cut down both him and all who consented with him to fornicate with Moloch, from the midst of their people.
6 Si yon moun vire do ban mwen poul al konsilte moun k'ap rele mò nan tab tounant, osinon moun k'ap fè divinò, mwen p'ap okipe l' ankò, m'ap wete l' nan mitan pèp mwen an.
The soul who will have turned aside to astrologers and soothsayers, and who will have fornicated with them, I will set my face against him, and I will destroy him from the midst of his people.
7 Se pou nou viv apa pou mwen. Piga nou fè bagay mwen di nou pa fè, paske se mwen menm ki Seyè a, Bondye nou an.
Be sanctified and be holy, for I am the Lord your God.
8 Se pou nou kenbe lòd mwen ban nou yo, se pou nou swiv yo. Se mwen menm Seyè a, se mwen menm k'ap fè nou sèvi m' nan tou sa n'ap fè!
Observe my precepts, and do them. I am the Lord, who sanctifies you.
9 Depi yon moun bay manman l' osinon papa l' madichon, se pou yo touye l'. Paske li madichonnen manman l' ak papa l', se li menm sèl kab reskonsab lanmò li.
Whoever curses his father or mother shall die a death; he has cursed his father and mother. So let his blood be upon him.
10 Depi yon nonm fè adiltè ak madanm yon frè parèy li, se pou yo touye yo, ni li ni madanm lan.
If anyone will have committed sexual acts with the wife of another, or will have perpetrated adultery with his neighbor’s spouse, they shall die a death, both the adulterer and the adulteress.
11 Depi yon nonm kouche madanm papa l', li jete dezonè sou papa l'. Se pou yo touye yo, ni li ni madanm lan. Lè konsa, se yo menm sèl k'ap reskonsab lanmò yo.
Whoever will have slept with his stepmother, or will have uncovered the shame of his father, they shall both die a death. So let their blood be upon them.
12 Depi yon moun kouche bèlfi li, se pou yo touye tou de. Sa yo fè a se yon wont. Lè konsa, se yo menm sèl k'ap reskonsab lanmò yo.
If any man will have slept with his daughter-in-law, both shall die, for they have acted according to wickedness. So let their blood be upon them.
13 Depi yon nonm kouche yon nonm tankou li ta fè l' ak yon fanm, sa yo fè la a se bagay Bondye pi pa vle we. Se pou yo touye tou de. Lè konsa, se yo menm sèl k'ap reskonsab lanmò yo.
If any man has slept with a male in place of sexual intercourse with a female, both have committed a nefarious act, they shall die a death. So let their blood be upon them.
14 Si yon nonm marye ak yon fi ansanm ak manman fi a tou, se bagay ki sal nèt yo fè la a. Se pou yo boule tou twa nan dife. Bagay konsa pa fèt pou fèt nan mitan nou.
If any man, having taken the daughter as a wife, will have married her mother, he has acted according to wickedness. He shall be burnt alive with them. Neither shall so great a nefarious act persist in your midst.
15 Si yon nonm kwaze ak yon zannimo, se pou yo touye l', li menm ansanm ak zannimo a. Wi, se pou yo touye yo.
Whoever will have committed sexual acts with any animal or cattle, he shall die a death. Likewise, you shall slay the beast.
16 Si yon fanm chache yon jan pou li kwaze ak yon zannimo, se pou yo touye l', li menm ansanm ak zannimo a. Wi, se pou yo touye yo. Lè konsa, se yo menm sèl k'ap reskonsab lanmò yo.
The woman who will have lain under any animal at all shall be destroyed together with it. So let their blood be upon them.
17 Si yon nonm marye ak sè li, li te mèt pitit fi manman l' osinon pitit fi papa l', si yo kouche yonn ak lòt, yo avili tèt yo devan tout pèp Izrayèl la. Sa yo fè a se yon gwo wont. Se pou yo chase yo nan mitan pèp la. Li te kouche sè li, se pou li peye pou sa l' fè a.
Whoever will have taken his sister, the daughter of his father or the daughter of his mother, and will have seen her nakedness, and she will have looked upon her brother’s shame, they have committed a nefarious act. They shall be slain in the sight of their people, because they have uncovered one another’s nakedness. And they shall bear their iniquity.
18 Si yon nonm kouche yon fanm ki gen règ li, se pou yo wete yo nan mitan pèp la.
Whoever has sexual intercourse with a woman in her menstrual flow, and has uncovered her nakedness, and she has opened the fountain of her blood, both shall be destroyed from the midst of their people.
19 Si yon nonm kouche matant li, matant bò papa l' osinon matant bò manman l', li kouche pwòp fanmi l'. Se pou yo fè tou de peye pou sa yo fè a.
You shall not expose the nakedness of your maternal or paternal aunt. Whoever does this has laid bare the shame of his own flesh; both shall bear their iniquity.
20 Si yon nonm kouche madanm tonton li, li jete dezonè sou tonton li. Lè konsa, ni li, ni madanm lan, yo gen pou peye pou sa yo fè a. Y'a mouri san fè pitit.
If any man has had sexual intercourse with the wife of his paternal or maternal uncle, and he has uncovered the shame of his close relative, both shall bear their sin. They shall die without children.
21 Si yon nonm marye ak madanm frè li, sa l' fè a se yon bagay k'ap mete l' nan kondisyon li pa ka sèvi Bondye, li jete dezonè sou frè li. Se poutèt sa, ni li ni madanm lan va rete san fè pitit.
Whoever will have married his brother’s wife has done an unlawful thing; he has uncovered his brother’s nakedness. They shall be without children.
22 Seyè a di ankò: -Se pou nou kenbe tout lòd mwen yo ak tout kòmandman mwen ban nou yo, se pou nou swiv yo. Konsa, peyi kote mwen pral mennen nou pou nou rete a p'ap voye nou jete deyò.
Observe my laws as well as my judgments, and act according to them, lest the land, into which you will enter and live, may vomit you out, too.
23 Piga nou swiv move mès moun lòt nasyon mwen te mete deyò pou nou te ka antre nan peyi a. Yo te ban m' degoutans ak tout move bagay yo t'ap fè a.
Do not be willing to walk by the ordinances of the nations, which I will expel before you. For they have done all these things, and so I abominate them.
24 Men, mwen te pwomèt mwen t'ap ban nou peyi sa a pou peyi pa nou. Se yon peyi kote lèt ak siwo myèl koule tankou dlo. Wi, se mwen menm Seyè a, Bondye nou an, ki te chwazi nou nan mitan tout pèp yo pou mete nou apa.
But I say to you: Possess their land, which I will give to you as an inheritance, a land flowing with milk and honey. I am the Lord your God, who has separated you from the other peoples.
25 Se konsa, koulye a, piga nou mele zannimo nou gen dwa manje ak zannimo nou pa gen dwa manje, zwazo nou gen dwa manje ak zwazo nou pa gen dwa manje. Pa kite ankenn zannimo ni ankenn zwazo nou pa gen dwa manje, ni bèt k'ap trennen sou vant mwen menm mwen di ki pa bon pou nou, mete nou nan kondisyon pou nou pa ka fè sèvis mwen.
Therefore, you must also separate the clean animals from the unclean, and the clean birds from the unclean. Do not pollute your souls with cattle, or birds, or anything that moves upon the earth, and which I have shown you to be unclean.
26 Se pou nou viv apa pou mwen, paske mwen menm se yon Bondye apa mwen ye. Mwen menm Seyè a, mwen mete nou apa nan mitan tout lòt pèp yo pou nou ka pou mwen nèt.
You shall be holy unto me, because I, the Lord, am holy, and I have separated you from the other peoples, so that you would be mine.
27 Depi yon nonm osinon yon fanm gen lespri yon mò sou li, osinon yon lòt lespri k'ap fè l' fè divinò, se pou yo touye yo. Y'a touye yo ak kout wòch. Lè konsa, se yo menm sèl k'ap reskonsab lanmò yo.
A man or a woman, in whom there is an oracle-like or a divining spirit, shall be put to death. They shall stone them. So let their blood be upon them.
