Levitik 11
1 Senyè a te pale ankò a Moïse avèk Aaron, e Li te di yo:
And Jehovah spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying to them,
2 “Pale avèk fis Israël yo. Di yo: ‘Sa yo se kreyati ke nou kapab manje pami tout bèt ki sou latè yo.
Speak to the sons of Israel, saying, These are the living things which ye may eat among all the beasts that are on the earth.
3 Nenpòt bèt ki gen zago ki fann e ki remoute manje yo, nan bèt sa yo, nou kapab manje.
Whatever parts the hoof, and is cloven footed, and chews the cud, among the beasts, that may ye eat.
4 “‘Sepandan, nou pa pou manje nan sa yo, pami sila ki remoute manje e ki gen zago ki fann yo: chamo, paske malgre li remoute manje, li pa divize zago; li pa pwòp pou nou.
Nevertheless these shall ye not eat of those that chew the cud, or of those that part the hoof: the camel, because he chews the cud but does not part the hoof, he is unclean to you.
5 Menm jan an, daman an, paske malgre li remoute manje, li pa divize zago, li pa pwòp pou nou;
And the coney, because he chews the cud but does not part the hoof, he is unclean to you.
6 Lapèn tou, paske malgre li remoute manje, li pa divize zago; li pa pwòp pou nou.
And the hare, because she chews the cud but does not part the hoof, she is unclean to you.
7 Epi kochon an, paske malgre li divize zago, ki fè l yon zago fann, li pa remoute manje li; li pa pwòp pou nou.
And the swine, because he parts the hoof, and is cloven footed, but does not chew the cud, he is unclean to you.
8 Nou pa pou manje chè yo, ni touche kadav yo; yo pa pwòp pou nou.
Of their flesh ye shall not eat, and their carcasses ye shall not touch, they are unclean to you.
9 “‘Sa yo nou kapab manje, nenpòt sa ki nan dlo: tout sa ki gen zèl ak kal, sa yo ki nan dlo, nan lanmè oswa nan rivyè, nou kapab manje yo.
These may ye eat of all that are in the waters: whatever has fins and scales in the waters, in the seas, and in the rivers, that may ye eat.
10 Men nenpòt sa ki nan lanmè oswa nan rivyè ki pa gen zèl avèk kal pami tout sa ki gen lavi nan dlo yo, yo se bagay abominab pou nou.
And all that have no fins and scales in the seas, and in the rivers, of all that move in the waters, and of all the living creatures that are in the waters, they are an abomination to you,
11 Konsa, yo va abominab pou nou. Nou pa pou manje chè yo, ak kadav yo. Nou va deteste yo.
and they shall be an abomination to you. Ye shall not eat of their flesh, and their carcasses ye shall have in abomination.
12 Nenpòt sa ki nan dlo ki pa gen zèl ak kal abominab pou nou.
Whatever has no fins nor scales in the waters, that is an abomination to you.
13 “‘Sa yo, anplis, nou va deteste pami zwazo yo; yo abominab, yo pa pou manje: èg, òfrè, avèk èg lanmè,
And these ye shall have in abomination among the birds, they shall not be eaten, they are an abomination: the eagle, and the vulture, and the osprey,
14 malfini, karanklou avèk tout espès li yo,
and the kite, and the falcon after its kind,
15 kòbo, avèk tout espès li yo,
every raven after its kind,
16 otrich avèk janmichèt, poul dlo, malfini avèk tout espès li yo,
and the ostrich, and the night-hawk, and the sea-gull, and the hawk after its kind,
17 koukou, plonjon ak frize,
and the little owl, and the cormorant, and the great owl,
18 gwo kana mawon blan, pelikan, chwèt,
and the horned owl, and the pelican, and the carrion vulture,
19 sigòy, krabye avèk tout espès li, chòchòt ak sèpantye.
and the stork, the heron after its kind, and the hoopoe, and the bat.
20 “‘Tout ensèk avèk zèl ki mache sou kat pye abominab pou nou.
All winged creeping things that go upon all fours are an abomination to you.
21 Sepandan, sa yo nou kapab manje yo pami ensèk ak zèl; sa ki mache sou kat pye yo, ki gen anlè pye kole ak janm ki sèvi pou sote sou tè a.
Yet these ye may eat of all winged creeping things that go upon all fours, which have legs above their feet, with which to leap upon the earth,
22 Sa ladan yo, nou kapab manje: krikèt chan avèk tout espès li, krikèt voras avèk tout espès li yo, krikèt kay avèk tout espès li yo, e krikèt volan avèk tout espès li yo.
even these of them ye may eat: the locust after its kind, and the bald locust after its kind, and the cricket after its kind, and the grasshopper after its kind.
23 Men tout lòt ensèk a zèl ki gen kat pye abominab pou nou.
But all winged creeping things, which have four feet, are an abomination to you,
24 “‘Anplis, pa bagay sila yo, nou vin pa pwòp: nenpòt moun ki touche kadav yo vin pa pwòp jis rive nan aswè.
and by these ye shall become unclean. Whoever touches the carcass of them shall be unclean until the evening.
25 Nenpòt moun ki ranmase kadav li yo va lave rad li e li va rete pa pwòp jis rive nan aswè.
And whoever bears any of the carcass of them shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the evening.
26 “‘Tout zannimo avèk zago ki divize, men ki pa fann nèt, oswa ki pa remoute manje yo, yo pa pwòp pou nou. Nenpòt moun ki touche yo vin pa pwòp.
Every beast which parts the hoof, and is not cloven footed, nor chews the cud, is unclean to you. Everyone who touches them shall be unclean.
27 Nenpòt zannimo ki mache sou pat li; pami tout kreyati ki mache sou kat pat yo, yo pa pwòp pou nou. Nenpòt moun ki touche kadav li yo vin pa pwòp jis rive nan aswè.
And whatever goes upon its paws, among all beasts that go on all fours, they are unclean to you. Whoever touches their carcass shall be unclean until the evening.
28 Sila ki ranmase kadav yo va lave rad yo, e yo va rete pa pwòp jis rive nan aswè. Yo pa pwòp pou nou.
And he who bears the carcass of them shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the evening; they are unclean to you.
29 “‘Men sa ki pa pwòp pou nou pami bagay ki trennen atè yo: zagoudi, sourit, gran leza ak tout espès li yo,
And these are those which are unclean to you among the creeping things that creep upon the earth: the weasel, and the mouse, and the great lizard after its kind,
30 zandolit, gwo kayiman, zandolit gongolo avèk kameleyon.
and the gecko, and the land-crocodile, and the lizard, and the sand-lizard, and the chameleon.
31 Sa yo pa pwòp pou nou pami sa ki trennen atè yo. Nenpòt moun ki touche yo lè yo mouri vin pa pwòp jis rive nan aswè.
These are those which are unclean to you among all that creep. Whoever touches them, when they are dead, shall be unclean until the evening.
32 Nenpòt bagay sou li ke youn nan yo ta tonbe lè l mouri, bagay sa a va vin pa pwòp, enkli nenpòt bagay an bwa, vètman, po, yon sak—nenpòt bagay pou itilizasyon li fèt la—li va mete nan dlo, li va rete pa pwòp jis rive nan aswè, e apre sa li va vin pwòp ankò.
And upon whatever any of them falls when they are dead, it shall be unclean, whether it be any vessel of wood, or raiment, or skin, or sack. Whatever vessel it be, with which any work is done, it must be put into water, and it shall be unclean until the evening, then it shall be clean.
33 Osi, pou nenpòt veso ki fèt avèk ajil kote yon bèt ta tonbe; nenpòt bagay ki ladann va vin pa pwòp. Epi nou va kraze veso a.
And every earthen vessel, into which any of them falls, whatever is in it shall be unclean, and ye shall break it.
34 Nan nenpòt manje ki kapab manje, ki vin gen dlo sou li, sa vin pa pwòp, e nenpòt likid ke nou kapab bwè de li, nan tout veso, li va vin pa pwòp.
All food therein which may be eaten, that on which water comes, shall be unclean, and all drink that may be drunk in every such vessel shall be unclean.
35 Anplis, tout bagay ladann yon pati nan kadav bèt la ta kapab tonbe, li vin pa pwòp; yon chodyè oswa yon fou va kraze an mòso. Yo pa pwòp e yo va kontinye rete pa pwòp pou nou.
And everything upon which any part of their carcass falls shall be unclean, whether oven, or range for pots, it shall be broken in pieces; they are unclean, and shall be unclean to you.
36 Sepandan, yon sitèn oswa yon sous va rete pwòp, malgre ke sila ki touche kadav bèt yo va pa pwòp.
Nevertheless a fountain or a pit in which is a gathering of water shall be clean, but that which touches their carcass shall be unclean.
37 Si yon pati nan kadav yo vin tonbe sou nenpòt semans ki dwe plante, li toujou pwòp.
And if any of their carcass falls upon any sowing seed which is to be sown, it is clean.
38 Men si dlo vin sou grenn semans lan, e yon pati nan kadav la tonbe sou li, li vin pa pwòp pou nou.
But if water is put upon the seed, and any of their carcass falls in it, it is unclean to you.
39 “‘Si youn nan bèt ki pwòp pou manje yo, vin mouri, moun ki touche kadav li a vin pa pwòp jis rive nan aswè.
And if any beast, of which ye may eat, dies, he who touches the carcass of it shall be unclean until the evening.
40 Sila a tou, ki manje kèk nan kadav li a va lave rad li, li va rete pa pwòp jis rive nan aswè. Anplis sila ki ranmase kadav li a va lave rad li, e li va rete pa pwòp jis rive nan aswè.
And he who eats of the carcass of it shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the evening. He also who bears the carcass of it shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the evening.
41 “‘Alò, tout bagay trennen ki trennen atè abominab, li pa pou manje.
And every creeping thing that creeps upon the earth is an abomination; it shall not be eaten.
42 Nenpòt bèt ki rale sou vant li, e nenpòt bèt ki mache sou kat pye, nenpòt bèt ki gen anpil pye, an rapò ak tout sa ki trennen atè, nou pa pou manje yo, paske yo abominab.
Whatever goes upon the belly, and whatever goes upon all fours, or whatever has many feet, even all creeping things that creep upon the earth, them ye shall not eat, for they are an abomination.
43 Pa rann tèt nou vin abominab pa okenn nan bagay ki trennen atè yo. Pa fè tèt nou pa pwòp avèk yo pou nou pa vin pa pwòp.
Ye shall not make yourselves abominable with any creeping thing that creeps, nor shall ye make yourselves unclean with them, that ye should be defiled by it.
44 Paske Mwen se SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an. Konsa, se pou nou konsakre nou e rete sen, paske Mwen sen. Nou pa pou fè tèt nou pa pwòp avèk okenn bagay trennen, k ap trennen atè.
For I am Jehovah your God. Sanctify yourselves therefore, and become ye holy, since I am holy. Neither shall ye defile yourselves with any manner of creeping thing that moves upon the earth.
45 Paske Mwen se SENYÈ a ki te mennen nou sòti nan peyi Égypte pou M ta Bondye nou. Konsa nou va sen, paske Mwen sen.’”
For I am Jehovah who brought you up out of the land of Egypt, to be your God. Ye shall therefore be holy, for I am holy.
46 “‘Sa se lalwa sou bèt ak zwazo, tout bagay vivan ki kouri nan dlo ak tout bagay ki trennen atè,
This is the law of the beast, and of the bird, and of every living creature that moves in the waters, and of every creature that creeps upon the earth,
47 pou fè yon distenksyon antre sa ki pa pwòp ak sa ki pwòp, e antre kreyati ki kab manje ak sa ki pa kab manje.’”
to make a distinction between the unclean and the clean, and between the living thing that may be eaten and the living thing that may not be eaten.
