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 said unto Moses, Speak unto the priests the sons of Aaron, and say unto them, None [of them] shall defile himself on the dead, among his people;
2 esepte pou fanmi pre anpil tankou manman, papa, pitit fi, pitit gason, frè.
But on his kin, that is near unto him, [that is, ] on his mother, and on his father, and on his son, and on his daughter, and on his 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 on his sister that is a virgin, that is nigh unto him, who hath had no husband: on her may he 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.
The chief man among his people shall not defile himself, to be profaned thereby.
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.
They shall not make any baldness upon their head, and the corner of their beard shall they not shave off, and in their flesh shall they not make any incision.
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.
Holy shall they be unto their God, and they shall not profane the name of their God; for the fire-offerings of the Lord, the bread of their God, do they offer, they shall therefore 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.
A woman that is a harlot, or one profaned, shall they not take; and a woman put away from her husband shall they not take; for holy is he unto 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 thou shalt sanctify him; for the bread of thy God doth he offer: holy shall he be unto thee; for I the Lord, who sanctify you, 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 any priest profane herself by committing incest, her father doth she profane: with fire shall she be burnt.
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 highest among his brethren, upon whose head the anointing oil hath been poured, and who hath been consecrated to put on the garments, shall not let the hair of his head grow long, and his garments shall he not rend;
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; even on his father, and on his mother shall he not defile himself.
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 out of the sanctuary shall he not go, that he may not profane the sanctuary of his God; for the crown of the anointing oil of his God is upon him: I am the Lord.
13 Granprèt la va marye ak yon jenn fi ki tifi.
And he shall take a wife in her virgin state.
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.
A widow, and a divorced woman, and one profaned, [and] a harlot, these shall he not take; but a virgin of his own people shall he take for wife;
15 Sinon, pitit li yo va yon wont pou fanmi an. Se mwen menm, Seyè a, ki mete li apa pou sèvis mwen.
So that he may not profane his seed among his people; for I, the Lord, do sanctify him.
16 Seyè a pale ak Moyiz, li di l' konsa:
And the Lord spoke unto 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.
Speak unto Aaron, saying, Whosoever of thy seed in their generations it be on whom there is any blemish, shall not approach to offer the bread 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,
For whatsoever man it be on whom there is a blemish, shall not approach: a blind, or a lame man, or one that hath a flattened nose, or a man one of whose limbs is too long,
19 kit li enfim nan men osinon nan pye,
Or a man who hath a broken foot, or a broken hand,
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 a crookbacked, or a dwarf, or one that hath a blemish in his eye, or the itch, or the scurvy, or the testicles broken.
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.
Every man on whom there is a blemish, of the seed of Aaron the priest, shall not come nigh to offer the fire-offerings of the Lord: there is a blemish on him; he shall not come nigh to offer the bread of his 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 brewed of his God, both of the most holy, and of the holy things he may eat.
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 unto the vail, and unto the altar shall he not come nigh, because there is a blemish on him; that he profane not my holy things; for I the Lord do sanctify 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 thus unto Aaron, and to his sons, and unto all the children of Israel.
