Levitik 3
1 Lè yon moun vle ofri bèt pou di Bondye mèsi, si se yon gwo bèt l'ap ofri, l'a bay yon towo bèf osinon yon vach ki pa gen ankenn enfimite.
[“Also tell the people], ‘When the offering that you bring to Yahweh is to maintain good fellowship [with him], you may bring a bull or a cow from your herd [of cattle], but what you present to Yahweh must be an animal that has no defects.
2 L'a mete men l' sou tèt bèt l'ap ofri a, l'a touye l' devan pòt Tant Randevou a. Prèt yo, pitit Arawon yo, va voye san an sou kat bò lotèl la.
You must bring the animal to the entrance to the Sacred Tent. You must lay your hands on its head. Then you must slaughter it [and drain some of its blood in a bowl]. Then one of Aaron’s sons, one of the priests, will sprinkle the blood against all sides of the altar.
3 Nan bèt yo ofri a, l'a pran pati sa yo: grès ki vlope tripay la,
From that offering, you must offer to Yahweh, as a sacrifice that will be burned in the fire, all the fat that covers the inner parts of the animal, or which is attached to them—
4 de wonyon yo ak tout grès ki sou yo a, ansanm ak mas grès ki sou fwa a, l'a boule yo tout nan dife pou Seyè a.
the kidneys and the fat that is attached to them near the lower back muscle, and the fat that covers the liver.
5 Pitit Arawon yo va boule tou sa sou lotèl la ansanm ak ofrann boule ki te deja sou bwa dife a. Se sa yo rele yon ofrann yo boule nèt nan dife k'ap fè Seyè a plezi ak bon sant li.
Then one of the priests will burn those things on the altar, along with the other parts of the animal that will be completely burned to be an offering [to Yahweh]. And the aroma while it burns will be pleasing to Yahweh.
6 Si se yon ti bèt moun lan vle ofri, l'a bay yon mouton osinon yon kabrit, bouk ou fenmèl, men ki pa gen ankenn enfimite.
If that offering to maintain good fellowship with Yahweh is a sheep or a goat, it must also be an animal that has no defects.
7 Si se yon ti mouton l'ap ofri bay Seyè a, l'a mennen l' devan lotèl Seyè a,
If you offer a lamb, you must present it to Yahweh [at the entrance to the Sacred Tent]. You must lay your hands on the lamb’s head and then slaughter it. [‘You must drain some of its blood in a bowl].
8 l'a mete men l' sou tèt bèt l'ap ofri a, l'a touye l' la devan pòt Tant Randevou a. Apre sa, pitit Arawon yo va voye san an sou kat bò lotèl la.
Then one of the priests will sprinkle that blood against all sides of the altar.
9 Nan bèt yo ofri a, l'a pran pati sa yo: grès la, ke y'a koupe ra koupyon an, grès ki vlope tripay la,
You must dedicate these things to be a sacrifice to Yahweh that is burned: Its fat, the fat tail that you must cut off close to the backbone, and all the fat that covers the inner parts of the lamb or which is attached to them—
10 de wonyon yo ak tout grès ki sou yo a, ansanm ak mas grès ki sou fwa a, l'a boule yo nan dife pou Seyè a.
the kidneys with the fat that is on them near the lower back muscle, and the fat that covers the liver.
11 Prèt la va boule tou sa sou lotèl la. Se konsa y'a sèvi pou fè yon ofrann boule nèt pou Seyè a.
One of the priests will burn those things on the altar to be an offering to Yahweh; [it will be as though] they will be a special food [given to Yahweh].
12 Si se yon kabrit li vle ofri, l'a mennen l' devan lotèl Seyè a.
‘If your offering is a goat, you must take/present it to Yahweh.
13 L'a mete men l' sou tèt li, l'a touye l' la devan Tant Randevou a. Lèfini, pitit Arawon yo va voye san an sou kat bò lotèl la.
You must lay your hands on its head. Then you must slaughter it in front of the Sacred Tent. Then one of Aaron’s sons will sprinkle the blood against all sides of the altar.
14 L'a pran pati sa yo: grès ki vlope tripay la,
From that offering you must dedicate these things to be a sacrifice to Yahweh that is burned: All the fat that covers the inner parts of the animal or which is attached to them,
15 de wonyon yo ak tout grès ki sou yo a, ansanm ak mas grès ki sou fwa a, l'a boule yo nan dife pou Seyè a.
the kidneys with the fat that is on them near the lower back muscle, and the fat that covers the liver.
16 Prèt la va boule tou sa sou lotèl la. Tout grès la se pou Seyè a li ye. Se yon ofrann ou boule nèt nan dife epi k'ap fè Seyè a plezi ak bon sant li.
The priest will burn those things on the altar to be an offering to Yahweh; [it will be as though] they will be a special food [given to Yahweh]. And the aroma while it burns will be pleasing to Yahweh. All the fat [of the animals that are sacrificed] belongs to Yahweh.
17 Piga nou janm manje ni grès ni san. Sa se yon regleman pou nou swiv, de pitit an pitit, kote nou pase.
‘This is a command that must be obeyed by you and your descendants forever, wherever you live: You must not eat the fat or the blood [of any animal].’”
