Levitik 11
1 Senyè a te pale ankò a Moïse avèk Aaron, e Li te di yo:
The LORD spoke again to Moses and Aaron, telling them,
2 “Pale avèk fis Israël yo. Di yo: ‘Sa yo se kreyati ke nou kapab manje pami tout bèt ki sou latè yo.
“Say to the Israelites, ‘Of all the beasts of the earth, these ones you may eat:
3 Nenpòt bèt ki gen zago ki fann e ki remoute manje yo, nan bèt sa yo, nou kapab manje.
You may eat any animal that has a split hoof completely divided and that chews the cud.
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.
But of those that only chew the cud or only have a divided hoof, you are not to eat the following: The camel, though it chews the cud, does not have a divided hoof; it is unclean for you.
5 Menm jan an, daman an, paske malgre li remoute manje, li pa divize zago, li pa pwòp pou nou;
The rock badger, though it chews the cud, does not have a divided hoof; it is unclean for you.
6 Lapèn tou, paske malgre li remoute manje, li pa divize zago; li pa pwòp pou nou.
The rabbit, though it chews the cud, does not have a divided hoof; it is unclean for 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 pig, though it has a split hoof completely divided, does not chew the cud; it is unclean for you.
8 Nou pa pou manje chè yo, ni touche kadav yo; yo pa pwòp pou nou.
You must not eat their meat or touch their carcasses; they are unclean for 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.
Of all the creatures that live in the water, whether in the seas or in the streams, you may eat anything with fins and scales.
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.
But the following among all the teeming life and creatures in the water are detestable to you: everything in the seas or streams that does not have fins and scales.
11 Konsa, yo va abominab pou nou. Nou pa pou manje chè yo, ak kadav yo. Nou va deteste yo.
They shall be an abomination to you; you must not eat their meat, and you must detest their carcasses.
12 Nenpòt sa ki nan dlo ki pa gen zèl ak kal abominab pou nou.
Everything in the water that does not have fins and scales shall be detestable to you.
13 “‘Sa yo, anplis, nou va deteste pami zwazo yo; yo abominab, yo pa pou manje: èg, òfrè, avèk èg lanmè,
Additionally, you are to detest the following birds, and they must not be eaten because they are detestable: the eagle, the bearded vulture, the black vulture,
14 malfini, karanklou avèk tout espès li yo,
the kite, any kind of falcon,
15 kòbo, avèk tout espès li yo,
any kind of raven,
16 otrich avèk janmichèt, poul dlo, malfini avèk tout espès li yo,
the ostrich, the screech owl, the gull, any kind of hawk,
17 koukou, plonjon ak frize,
the little owl, the cormorant, the great owl,
18 gwo kana mawon blan, pelikan, chwèt,
the white owl, the desert owl, the osprey,
19 sigòy, krabye avèk tout espès li, chòchòt ak sèpantye.
the stork, any kind of heron, the hoopoe, and the bat.
20 “‘Tout ensèk avèk zèl ki mache sou kat pye abominab pou nou.
All flying insects that walk on all fours are detestable 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.
However, you may eat the following kinds of flying insects that walk on all fours: those having jointed legs above their feet for hopping on the ground.
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.
Of these you may eat any kind of locust, katydid, cricket, or grasshopper.
23 Men tout lòt ensèk a zèl ki gen kat pye abominab pou nou.
All other flying insects that have four legs are detestable 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.
These creatures will make you unclean. Whoever touches their carcasses will be unclean until 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 picks up one of their carcasses must wash his clothes, and he will be unclean until 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 animal with hooves not completely divided or that does not chew the cud is unclean for you. Whoever touches any of them will 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.
All the four-footed animals that walk on their paws are unclean for you; whoever touches their carcasses will be unclean until 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 anyone who picks up a carcass must wash his clothes, and he will be unclean until evening. They are unclean for you.
29 “‘Men sa ki pa pwòp pou nou pami bagay ki trennen atè yo: zagoudi, sourit, gran leza ak tout espès li yo,
The following creatures that move along the ground are unclean for you: the mole, the mouse, any kind of great lizard,
30 zandolit, gwo kayiman, zandolit gongolo avèk kameleyon.
the gecko, the monitor lizard, the common lizard, the skink, 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 animals are unclean for you among all the crawling creatures. Whoever touches them when they are dead shall be unclean until 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.
When one of them dies and falls on something, that article becomes unclean; any article of wood, clothing, leather, sackcloth, or any implement used for work must be rinsed with water and will remain unclean until evening; then it will 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.
If any of them falls into a clay pot, everything in it will be unclean; you must break the pot.
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.
Any food coming into contact with water from that pot will be unclean, and any drink in such a container will 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.
Anything upon which one of their carcasses falls will be unclean. If it is an oven or cooking pot, it must be smashed; it is unclean and will remain unclean for you.
36 Sepandan, yon sitèn oswa yon sous va rete pwòp, malgre ke sila ki touche kadav bèt yo va pa pwòp.
Nevertheless, a spring or cistern containing water will remain clean, but one who touches a carcass in it will be unclean.
37 Si yon pati nan kadav yo vin tonbe sou nenpòt semans ki dwe plante, li toujou pwòp.
If a carcass falls on any seed for sowing, the seed 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 has been put on the seed and a carcass falls on it, it is unclean for 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.
If an animal that you may eat dies, anyone who touches the carcass will be unclean until 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.
Whoever eats from the carcass must wash his clothes and will be unclean until evening, and anyone who picks up the carcass must wash his clothes and will be unclean until evening.
41 “‘Alò, tout bagay trennen ki trennen atè abominab, li pa pou manje.
Every creature that moves along the ground is detestable; it must 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.
Do not eat any creature that moves along the ground, whether it crawls on its belly or walks on four or more feet; for such creatures are detestable.
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.
Do not defile yourselves by any crawling creature; do not become unclean or defiled by them.
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 the LORD your God; consecrate yourselves, therefore, and be holy, because I am holy. You must not defile yourselves by any creature that crawls along the ground.
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 the LORD, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt so that I would be your God; therefore be holy, because 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 regarding animals, birds, all living creatures that move in the water, and all creatures that crawl along the ground.
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.’”
You must distinguish between the unclean and the clean, between animals that may be eaten and those that may not.’”
