Levitik 22
1 Seyè a pale ak Moyiz, li di li:
The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
2 -Men sa w'a di Arawon ak pitit gason l' yo. Se pou yo konnen ki jan pou yo sèvi ak sa moun pèp Izrayèl yo ofri m', ofrann yo mete apa pou mwen, pou yo pa derespekte non m'. Se mwen menm ki Seyè a.
“Tell Aaron and his sons to separate themselves from the holy things of the children of Israel, which they make holy to me, and that they not profane my holy name. I am the LORD.
3 W'a di yo pou mwen: Lè yon gason nan fanmi nou pa nan kondisyon pou fè sèvis mwen, si li pwoche bò kote ofrann moun pèp Izrayèl yo mete apa pou mwen, piga yo janm kite l' parèt devan m' ankò! Se mwen menm ki Seyè a.
“Tell them, ‘If anyone of all your offspring throughout your generations approaches the holy things which the children of Israel make holy to the LORD, having his uncleanness on him, that soul shall be cut off from before me. I am the LORD.
4 Si yon gason nan branch fanmi Arawon an gen yon move maladi po osinon ekoulman, li p'ap ka manje nan ofrann yo mete apa pou Bondye toutotan li pa nan kondisyon pou fè sèvis Bondye ankò. Konsa tou, si yon prèt manyen yon kadav, osinon yon nonm ki gen ekoulman, li pa nan kondisyon pou l' fè sèvis Bondye a.
“‘Whoever of the offspring of Aaron is a leper or has a discharge shall not eat of the holy things until he is clean. Whoever touches anything that is unclean by the dead, or a man who has a seminal emission,
5 Ou ankò si yon prèt manyen yonn nan bèt k'ap trennen sou vant yo, bèt ki ka mete l' nan kondisyon pou l' pa kapab fè sèvis Bondye, ou ankò si li manyen yon moun ki deja nan kondisyon sa a pou tèt pa l', prèt la tou pa ka fè sèvis Bondye.
or whoever touches any creeping thing by which he may be made unclean, or a man from whom he may become unclean, whatever uncleanness he has—
6 L'a rete nan kondisyon sa a jouk aswè, lèfini tou li p'ap ka manje nan ofrann yo mete apa pou Bondye yo. Se pou li pran yon bon beny nan dlo anvan.
the person that touches any such shall be unclean until the evening, and shall not eat of the holy things unless he bathes his body in water.
7 Apre solèy kouche, l'a nan kondisyon pou l' fè sèvis Bondye. Se lè sa a l'a ka manje nan ofrann yo mete apa pou Bondye a, paske se sa ki manje l'.
When the sun is down, he shall be clean; and afterward he shall eat of the holy things, because it is his bread.
8 Li pa gen dwa manje ni vyann bèt ki mouri mò natirèl, ni vyann bèt bèt nan bwa touye. Bagay konsa ap mete l' nan kondisyon pou li pa kapab fè sèvis Bondye. Se mwen menm ki Seyè a!
He shall not eat that which dies of itself or is torn by animals, defiling himself by it. I am the LORD.
9 Se pou tout prèt yo swiv regleman mwen bay yo. Si yo pa swiv yo, y'a koupab, epi y'ap mouri paske yo pa respekte lòd Bondye menm te bay yo. Se mwen menm ki Seyè a, se mwen menm ki mete yo apa pou yo viv apa pou mwen.
“‘They shall therefore follow my commandment, lest they bear sin for it and die in it, if they profane it. I am the LORD who sanctifies them.
10 Depi yon moun pa fè pati fanmi prèt yo, li te mèt yon moun ki rete lakay yon prèt osinon yon moun k'ap travay pou lajan l' lakay prèt la, li pa gen dwa manje nan ofrann yo mete apa pou Bondye yo.
“‘No stranger shall eat of the holy thing: a foreigner living with the priests, or a hired servant, shall not eat of the holy thing.
11 Men, esklav yon prèt, kit se achte li te achte l', kit li te fèt lakay li, gen dwa manje nan manje prèt la resevwa a.
But if a priest buys a slave, purchased by his money, he shall eat of it; and those who are born in his house shall eat of his bread.
12 Si pitit fi yon prèt marye ak yon nonm ki pa prèt, li p'ap ka manje anyen nan ofrann yo fè pou Bondye yo.
If a priest’s daughter is married to an outsider, she shall not eat of the heave offering of the holy things.
13 Men, si pitit fi a vèv osinon si li divòse, si li pa gen pitit epi li tounen kay papa l' sou kont papa l', l'a ka manje nan manje papa l'. Men, moun ki pa fè pati fanmi prèt yo pa gen dwa manje anyen ladan l'.
But if a priest’s daughter is a widow, or divorced, and has no child, and has returned to her father’s house as in her youth, she may eat of her father’s bread; but no stranger shall eat any of it.
14 Si yon moun ki pa fè pati fanmi prèt yo manje nan manje yo mete apa pou Bondye a san li pa konnen, li gen pou l' renmèt sa l' manje a plis ven pou san valè bagay la.
“‘If a man eats something holy unwittingly, then he shall add the fifth part of its value to it, and shall give the holy thing to the priest.
15 Prèt yo pa gen dwa kite moun ki pa fè pati fanmi yo derespekte manje yo mete apa pou Bondye.
The priests shall not profane the holy things of the children of Israel, which they offer to the LORD,
16 Si yo kite sa rive, moun lan va antò, l'ap peye pou sa. Se mwen menm ki Seyè a. Se mwen menm ki mete ofrann yo apa pou mwen.
and so cause them to bear the iniquity that brings guilt when they eat their holy things; for I am the LORD who sanctifies them.’”
17 Seyè a pale ak Moyiz, li di l' konsa:
The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
18 -Pale ak Arawon ak pitit gason l' yo ak tout moun pèp Izrayèl la. Men sa w'a di yo: Lè yon moun nan pèp Izrayèl la, osinon yon moun lòt nasyon k'ap viv nan peyi a fè ofrann pou boule pou Seyè a, kit se paske li te fè yon ve, kit se paske li menm li fè lide fè ofrann lan,
“Speak to Aaron, and to his sons, and to all the children of Israel, and say to them, ‘Whoever is of the house of Israel, or of the foreigners in Israel, who offers his offering, whether it is any of their vows or any of their free will offerings, which they offer to the LORD for a burnt offering:
19 se pou l' chwazi yon towo bèf, yon belye osinon yon bouk kabrit san ankenn enfimite si li vle pou m' asepte ofrann lan.
that you may be accepted, you shall offer a male without defect, of the bulls, of the sheep, or of the goats.
20 Si nou ofri yon bèt ki gen nenpòt enfimite, Seyè a p'ap asepte l' nan men nou.
But you shall not offer whatever has a defect, for it shall not be acceptable for you.
21 Lè yon moun ap fè ofrann pou di Bondye mèsi, kit se paske li te fè yon ve, kit se paske li menm li vle fè ofrann lan, se pou bèt l'ap ofri a, li te mèt gwo bèt, li te mèt ti bèt, pa gen ankenn enfimite, si li vle pou m' asepte l'.
Whoever offers a sacrifice of peace offerings to the LORD to accomplish a vow, or for a free will offering of the herd or of the flock, it shall be perfect to be accepted. It shall have no defect.
22 Piga nou janm ofri bay Seyè a bèt je pete, bèt k'ap bwete, bèt ki pèdi janm, bèt ki gen malenng, bèt ki gen maladi po. Piga nou janm pran yon bèt konsa pou nou mete sou lotèl la pou nou boule nan dife pou Seyè a.
You shall not offer what is blind, is injured, is maimed, has a wart, is festering, or has a running sore to the LORD, nor make an offering by fire of them on the altar to the LORD.
23 Lè nou menm nou fè lide fè yon ofrann pou Seyè a, nou ka ofri yon towo bèf osinon yon belye ki difòm osinon ki kata. Men, nou pa ka sèvi ak yo pou yon ofrann n'ap fè paske nou te fè yon ve. Mwen p'ap asepte l'.
Either a bull or a lamb that has any deformity or lacking in his parts, that you may offer for a free will offering; but for a vow it shall not be accepted.
24 Pa ofri bay Seyè a yon mal bèt ki gen grenn li yo foule, kraze, rache, osinon koupe. Nou pa gen dwa ofri bèt konsa nan peyi nou an.
You must not offer to the LORD that which has its testicles bruised, crushed, broken, or cut. You must not do this in your land.
25 Piga nou pran bèt moun lòt nasyon fè nou kado pou n' ofri bay Seyè a. Paske bèt konsa pa antye, yo manke kichòy nan kò yo. Seyè a p'ap asepte yo nan men nou.
You must not offer any of these as the bread of your God from the hand of a foreigner, because their corruption is in them. There is a defect in them. They shall not be accepted for you.’”
26 Seyè a pale ak Moyiz, li di l' konsa:
The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
27 -Lè yon ti bèf, yon ti mouton osinon yon ti kabrit fenk fèt, se pou nou kite l' dèyè manman l' pandan sèt jou. Depi sou wityèm jou a, nou gen dwa ofri l' pou boule nan dife pou Seyè a.
“When a bull, a sheep, or a goat is born, it shall remain seven days with its mother. From the eighth day on it shall be accepted for the offering of an offering made by fire to the LORD.
28 Kit se bèf, kit se mouton, pa janm ofri yon bèt ansanm ak pitit li menm jou a.
Whether it is a cow or ewe, you shall not kill it and its young both in one day.
29 Lè n'ap fè ofrann pou di Bondye mèsi, se pou nou swiv tout regleman yo si nou vle Seyè a asepte ofrann lan nan men nou.
“When you sacrifice a sacrifice of thanksgiving to the LORD, you shall sacrifice it so that you may be accepted.
30 Se pou nou manje l' menm jou a. Pa kite anyen pou denmen maten. Se mwen menm ki Seyè a!
It shall be eaten on the same day; you shall leave none of it until the morning. I am the LORD.
31 Se pou nou fè tou sa mwen ban nou lòd fè. Wi, se pou nou swiv lòd mwen yo. Se mwen menm ki Seyè a!
“Therefore you shall keep my commandments, and do them. I am the LORD.
32 Piga nou derespekte non mwen. Se pou tout moun pèp Izrayèl la respekte m'. Se mwen menm ki Seyè a, se mwen menm ki mete nou apa pou nou viv apa pou mwen.
You shall not profane my holy name, but I will be made holy among the children of Israel. I am the LORD who makes you holy,
33 Se mwen menm ki te fè nou soti kite peyi Lejip pou m' te ka Bondye nou. Se mwen menm ki Seyè a!
who brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God. I am the LORD.”
