Levitik 22
1 Seyè a pale ak Moyiz, li di li:
And Yahweh spake unto 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.
Speak unto Aaron, and unto his sons, That they hold sacredly aloof from the holy things of the sons of Israel, so as not to profane my holy name, —in the things which they are hallowing unto me—I, am Yahweh.
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.
Say unto them—Unto your generations, as touching any man who cometh near from among any of your seed, unto the hallowed things which the sons of Israel may hallow unto Yahweh, while his uncleanness is upon him, then shall that person be cut off from before me—I, am Yahweh.
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.
No man soever of the seed of Aaron who is a leper, or hath a flux, shall eat of the holy things, until he be clean, —And as for him who toucheth anything that is unclean by the dead, or a man whose seed goeth from him;
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 a man who toucheth any creeping thing, which is unclean to him, —or [toucheth] any human being who hath uncleanness, to the extent of any thing that maketh him unclean,
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.
any person who toucheth any such, shall then be unclean until the evening, —and shall not eat of the hallowed things, unless he bathe his flesh 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 tooth in, then is he clean, —and thereafter, he may eat of the hallowed things, for, his food, it is.
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!
That which dieth of itself or is torn in pieces, shall he not eat to make himself unclean thereby, —I, am Yahweh.
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.
Therefore shall they keep my charge, and shall not bear, for it, sin, and die therein, when they profane it, —I—Yahweh, am hallowing 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.
And, no stranger, shall eat what is hallowed, —neither, one who dwelleth with a priest nor a hireling shall eat what is hallowed.
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 when, a priest, buyeth any person, as the purchase of his silver, he may eat thereof, —and, the children of his household, they, may eat of 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.
And, when, a priest’s daughter, belongeth to a husband, who is a stranger, she, of the heave-offering of the hallowed things, may not eat.
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, when a priest’s daughter, cometh to be a widow or divorced and hath no seed, and so she returneth unto the house of her father, as in her youth, of the food of her father, she may eat, —but no stranger, shall eat thereof.
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.
And, when, any man, eateth what is hallowed, by mistake, then shall he add the fifth part of it thereunto, and give unto the priest the hallowed thing:
15 Prèt yo pa gen dwa kite moun ki pa fè pati fanmi yo derespekte manje yo mete apa pou Bondye.
So shall they not profane the hallowed things of the sons of Israel, —which they heave up unto Yahweh;
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.
nor cause them to bear guilty iniquity, when they eat their hallowed things, —For, I—Yahweh, am hallowing them.
17 Seyè a pale ak Moyiz, li di l' konsa:
And Yahweh spake unto 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 unto Aaron, and unto his sons, and unto all the sons of Israel, and thou shalt say unto them—What man, soever, of the house of Israel, or of the sojourners in Israel, may bring near his oblation, as regardeth any of their vows, or any of their freewill offerings which they may bring near unto Yahweh, as an ascending-sacrifice,
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 ye may be accepted, [it must be] a male without defect, of the beeves, or 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.
whatsoever hath in it a blemish, shall ye not bring near, —for it shall not be accepted 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'.
And, whosoever would bring near a peace-offering unto Yahweh, to consecrate a vow or as a freewill-offering with a bullock or a sheep, without defect, shall it be, to be accepted, no, blemish, shall be therein.
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.
Blind, or broken, or rent, or having a running sore, or scurvy, or scab, ye shall not bring these near unto Yahweh, —and no, altar-flame, shall ye present therefrom upon the altar, unto Yahweh.
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'.
Whether an ox or a lamb long or short limb, as a free-will offering, thou mayest offer it, 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.
But that which is bruised in the stones or broken therein, or torn or cut, shall ye neither bring ear unto Yahweh, nor on your own land, shall ye offer.
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.
Even at the hand of the son of a stranger, shall ye not bring near the food of your God of any of these, —for, their damage is in them, a blemish, is in them, they shall not be accepted for you.
26 Seyè a pale ak Moyiz, li di l' konsa:
And Yahweh spake unto 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 beeve or a sheep or a goat, is brought forth, then shall it be seven days under its dam, —and, from the eighth day and onwards, it shall be accepted as an oblation of an altar-flame unto Yahweh,
28 Kit se bèf, kit se mouton, pa janm ofri yon bèt ansanm ak pitit li menm jou a.
Whether cow or ewe—it and its young, shall ye not slaughter on 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.
And when ye would offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving unto Yahweh, for your acceptance, shall ye offer it.
30 Se pou nou manje l' menm jou a. Pa kite anyen pou denmen maten. Se mwen menm ki Seyè a!
On the same day, shall it be eaten, ye shall not leave thereof until morning, —I, am Yahweh.
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!
So then ye shall observe my commandments, and do them, —I, am Yahweh.
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.
So shall ye not profane my holy name, So shall I be hallowed in the midst of the sons of Israel, —I, am Yahweh, who am hallowing 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 forth out of the land of Egypt, that I might become your God, —I, am Yahweh.
