Levitik 21
1 Seyè a di Moyiz konsa: -Pale ak pitit Arawon yo, prèt yo. W'a di yo konsa: Lè yon prèt gen yon moun mouri nan fanmi l', piga li patisipe nan ankenn seremoni yo fè pou mò, pou sa pa mete l' nan kondisyon pou l' pa ka fè sèvis Bondye,
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, Speak to the priests the sons of Aaron, and you shall tell them [that] they shall not defile themselves in their nation for the dead,
2 esepte pou fanmi pre anpil tankou manman, papa, pitit fi, pitit gason, frè.
but [they may mourn] for a relative who is very near to them, for a father and mother, and sons and daughters, for a brother,
3 Pou yon sè, si sè a poko fè zafè, li gen dwa mete tèt li nan kondisyon pou l' pa ka fè sèvis Bondye.
and for a virgin sister that is near to one, that is not espoused to a man; for these one shall defile himself.
4 Yon prèt pa gen dwa mete tèt li nan kondisyon pou l' pa ka fè sèvis Bondye lè se yon sè li ki deja marye ki mouri.
He shall not defile himself suddenly among his people to profane himself.
5 Prèt yo pa gen dwa kale ankenn pati nan tèt yo, ni yo pa gen dwa taye pwent bab yo, ni yo pa gen dwa make kò yo avèk kouto, pou fè wè yo gen moun mouri.
And you shall not shave your head for the dead with a baldness on the top; and they shall not shave their beard, neither shall they make gashes on their flesh.
6 Se pou yo viv apa nèt pou Bondye yo. Yo pa dwe derespekte non mwen. Paske se yo menm k'ap mete nan dife ofrann yo fè pou Seyè a, se manje Bondye y'ap ofri. Se pou yo toujou rete apa pou mwen.
They shall be holy to their God, and they shall not profane the name of their God; for they offer the sacrifices of the Lord as the gifts of their God, and they shall be holy.
7 Yon prèt pa gen dwa marye ni ak yon fanm ki t'ap fè jennès, ni ak yon fanm ki konn gason deja, ni ak yon fanm mari l' kite l', paske yo mete yo apa pou fè sèvis mwen.
They shall not take a woman who is a harlot and profaned, or a woman put away from her husband; for he is holy to the Lord his God.
8 Tout moun dwe konsidere prèt yo tankou moun yo mete apa pou Bondye, paske se yo menm k'ap fè ofrann pou Bondye nou an. Mwen menm Seyè a, mwen yon Bondye apa. Se mwen k'ap fè nou viv apa pou mwen. Wi, se pou nou konsidere prèt yo tankou moun yo mete apa pou Bondye.
And you shall hallow him; he offers the gifts of the Lord your God: he shall be holy, for I the Lord that sanctify them [am] holy.
9 Si pitit fi yon prèt tonbe nan fè jennès, l'ap avili papa l', y'a boule l' nan dife pou touye l'.
And if the daughter of a priest should be profaned to go a whoring, she profanes the name of her father: she shall be burnt with fire.
10 Granprèt la, se chèf li ye nan mitan tout prèt yo. Se moun yo te vide lwil sou tèt li a, moun yo te mete apa pou mete rad prèt la sou li a. Li pa fèt ni pou kite tèt li san penyen, ni pou l' chire rad sou li lè li gen moun mouri.
And the priest that is chief among his brethren, the oil having been poured upon the head of the anointed one, and he having been consecrated to put on the garments, shall not take the mitre off his head, and shall not rend his garments:
11 Yo mete kouwòn mwen sou tèt li, yo vide lwil sou tèt li pou mete l' apa pou mwen. Li pa fèt pou l' fè bagay ki pou mete l' nan kondisyon pou li pa ka fè sèvis Bondye, pou l' derespekte kay yo mete apa pou Bondye a.
neither shall he go in to any dead body, neither shall he defile himself for his father or his mother.
12 Li pa fèt pou l' kite kay Bondye a pou l' al antre nan yon kay kote gen kadav moun mouri, menm si se papa l' osinon manman l' ki mouri a. Se mwen menm ki Seyè a!
And he shall not go forth out of the sanctuary, and he shall not profane the sanctuary of his God, because the holy anointing oil of God [is] upon him: I [am] the Lord.
13 Granprèt la va marye ak yon jenn fi ki tifi.
He shall take for a wife a virgin of his own tribe.
14 Li p'ap pran pou madanm yon fanm vèv, ni yon fanm divòse, ni yon fanm ki konn gason deja, osinon yon fanm ki t'ap fè jennès. Se sèlman yon jenn fi ki soti nan menm branch fanmi avè l' pou li pran pou madanm.
But a widow, or one that is put away, or profaned, or a harlot, these he shall not take; but he shall take for a wife a virgin of his own people.
15 Sinon, pitit li yo va yon wont pou fanmi an. Se mwen menm, Seyè a, ki mete li apa pou sèvis mwen.
And he shall not profane his seed among his people: I [am] the Lord that sanctifies him.
16 Seyè a pale ak Moyiz, li di l' konsa:
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
17 -Pale ak Arawon, w'a di li: Si gen yon moun nan fanmi ou ki gen yon enfimite, li p'ap janm ka pwoche pou l' fè ofrann manje pou Bondye li. Regleman sa a ou fèt pou swiv li tout tan de pitit an pitit.
Say to Aaron, A man of your tribe throughout your generations, who shall have a blemish on him, shall not draw near to offer the gifts of his God.
18 Ankenn gason enfim pa gen dwa prezante ofrann bay Bondye, kit li avèg, kit li bwete, kit li domaje nan figi, kit li difòm,
No man who has a blemish on him shall draw near; a man blind, lame, with his nose disfigured, or his ears cut,
19 kit li enfim nan men osinon nan pye,
a man who has a broken hand or a broken foot,
20 kit li gen boul nan do, kit li rachitik, kit li malad nan je, kit li gen maladi po, kit grenn li kraze.
or humpbacked, or blear-eyed, or that has lost his eye-lashes, or a man who has a malignant ulcer, or tetter, or one that has lost a testicle.
21 Depi yon gason nan ras prèt Arawon an enfim yon kote nan kò li, li p'ap ka pwoche pou fè ofrann pou boule nan dife pou Seyè a. Wi, si li gen yon enfimite, li p'ap ka pwoche devan Bondye pou fè ofrann pou li.
Whoever of the seed of Aaron the priest has a blemish on him, shall not draw near to offer sacrifices to your God, because he has a blemish on him; he shall not draw near to offer the gifts of God.
22 Yon nonm konsa ka toujou manje nan manje yo ofri ban mwen, kit se nan manje yo ofri m' lan osinon nan manje yo mete apa pou mwen an.
The gifts of God [are] most holy, and he shall eat of the holy things.
23 Men, li pa gen dwa pwoche bò rido a ni vin bò lotèl la paske li enfim nan kò l'. Li pa fèt pou derespekte bagay ki apa pou mwen yo paske se mwen menm Seyè a ki mete yo apa pou mwen.
Only he shall not approach the veil, and he shall not draw near to the altar, because he has a blemish; and he shall not profane the sanctuary of his God, for I am the Lord that sanctifies them.
24 Se konsa, Moyiz pale ak Arawon, ak pitit gason l' yo ansanm ak tout moun pèp Izrayèl yo, li di yo tou sa.
And Moses spoke to Aaron and his sons, and to all the children of Israel.
