Levitik 22
1 Seyè a pale ak Moyiz, li di li:
Then the LORD said to Moses,
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 treat with respect the sacred offerings that the Israelites have consecrated to Me, so that they do 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 that for the generations to come, if any of their descendants in a state of uncleanness approaches the sacred offerings that the Israelites consecrate to the LORD, that person must be cut off from My presence. 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.
If a descendant of Aaron has a skin disease or a discharge, he may not eat the sacred offerings until he is clean. Whoever touches anything defiled by a corpse or by a man who has an emission of semen,
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 a crawling creature or a person that makes him unclean, whatever the uncleanness may be—
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 man who touches any of these will remain unclean until evening. He must not eat from the sacred offerings unless he has bathed himself with 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 has set, he will become clean, and then he may eat from the sacred offerings, for they are his food.
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 must not eat anything found dead or torn by wild animals, which would make him unclean. 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.
The priests must keep My charge, lest they bear the guilt and die because 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 one outside a priest’s family may eat the sacred offering, nor may the guest of a priest or his hired hand eat it.
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 with his own money, or if a slave is born in his household, that slave may eat his food.
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 the priest’s daughter is married to a man other than a priest, she is not to eat of the sacred contributions.
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 with no children becomes widowed or divorced and returns to her father’s house, she may share her father’s food as in her youth. But no outsider may share 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 anyone eats a sacred offering in error, he must add a fifth to its value and give the sacred offering 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 must not profane the sacred offerings that the Israelites present 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.
by allowing the people to eat the sacred offerings and thus to bear the punishment for guilt. For I am the LORD who sanctifies them.”
17 Seyè a pale ak Moyiz, li di l' konsa:
Then the LORD said to Moses,
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 his sons and all the Israelites and tell them, ‘Any man of the house of Israel or any foreign resident who presents a gift for a burnt offering to the LORD, whether to fulfill a vow or as a freewill 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.
must offer an unblemished male from the cattle, sheep, or goats in order for it to be accepted on your behalf.
20 Si nou ofri yon bèt ki gen nenpòt enfimite, Seyè a p'ap asepte l' nan men nou.
You must not present anything with a defect, because it will not be accepted on your behalf.
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'.
When a man presents a peace offering to the LORD from the herd or flock to fulfill a vow or as a freewill offering, it must be without blemish or defect to be acceptable.
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 are not to present to the LORD any animal that is blind, injured, or maimed, or anything with a running sore, a festering rash, or a scab; you must not put any of these on the altar as an offering made by fire 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'.
You may present as a freewill offering an ox or sheep that has a deformed or stunted limb, but it is not acceptable in fulfillment of a vow.
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 are not to present to the LORD an animal whose testicles are bruised, crushed, torn, or cut; you are not to sacrifice them 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.
Neither you nor a foreigner shall present food to your God from any such animal. They will not be accepted on your behalf, because they are deformed and flawed.’”
26 Seyè a pale ak Moyiz, li di l' konsa:
Then the LORD said to Moses,
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 an ox, a sheep, or a goat is born, it must remain with its mother for seven days. From the eighth day on, it will be acceptable as 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.
But you must not slaughter an ox or a sheep on the same day as its young.
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 thank offering to the LORD, offer it so that it may be acceptable on your behalf.
30 Se pou nou manje l' menm jou a. Pa kite anyen pou denmen maten. Se mwen menm ki Seyè a!
It must be eaten that same day. Do not leave any of it until 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!
You are to keep My commandments and practice 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 must not profane My holy name. I must be acknowledged as holy among the Israelites. I am the LORD who sanctifies you,
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.”
