Levitik 11
1 Senyè a te pale ankò a Moïse avèk Aaron, e Li te di yo:
And the Lord said to Moses and Aaron,
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 children of Israel: These are the living things which you may have for food among all the beasts on the earth.
3 Nenpòt bèt ki gen zago ki fann e ki remoute manje yo, nan bèt sa yo, nou kapab manje.
You may have as food any beast which has a division in the horn of its foot, and whose food comes back into its mouth to be crushed again.
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, at the same time, of those beasts, you may not take for food the camel, because its food comes back but the horn of its foot is not parted in two; it 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 rock-badger, for the same reason, 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 the horn of its foot is not parted in two, 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 pig is unclean to you, because though the horn of its foot is parted, its food does not come back.
8 Nou pa pou manje chè yo, ni touche kadav yo; yo pa pwòp pou nou.
Their flesh may not be used for food, and their dead bodies may not even be touched; 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 you may have for food of all things living in the water: anything living in the water, in the seas or rivers, which has special parts for swimming and skin formed of thin plates, may be used for food.
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.
All other things living and moving in the water, in the sea or in the rivers, are a disgusting thing to you;
11 Konsa, yo va abominab pou nou. Nou pa pou manje chè yo, ak kadav yo. Nou va deteste yo.
They may not be used for food, and their dead bodies are disgusting to you.
12 Nenpòt sa ki nan dlo ki pa gen zèl ak kal abominab pou nou.
Anything in the water which has no special parts for swimming and no thin plates on its skin is disgusting to you.
13 “‘Sa yo, anplis, nou va deteste pami zwazo yo; yo abominab, yo pa pou manje: èg, òfrè, avèk èg lanmè,
And among birds these are to be disgusting to you, and not to be used for food: the eagle and the gier-eagle and the ospray;
14 malfini, karanklou avèk tout espès li yo,
And the kite and the falcon, and birds of that sort;
15 kòbo, avèk tout espès li yo,
Every raven, and birds of that sort;
16 otrich avèk janmichèt, poul dlo, malfini avèk tout espès li yo,
And the ostrich and the night-hawk and the sea-hawk, and birds of that sort;
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 water-hen and the pelican and the vulture;
19 sigòy, krabye avèk tout espès li, chòchòt ak sèpantye.
The stork and the heron, and birds of that sort, and the hoopoe and the bat.
20 “‘Tout ensèk avèk zèl ki mache sou kat pye abominab pou nou.
Every winged four-footed thing which goes on the earth is disgusting 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.
But of the winged four-footed things, those which have long legs for jumping on the earth you may have for food;
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.
Such as all the different sorts of locust.
23 Men tout lòt ensèk a zèl ki gen kat pye abominab pou nou.
But all other winged four-footed things which go on the earth are disgusting 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.
By these you will be made unclean; anyone touching their dead bodies will be unclean till evening:
25 Nenpòt moun ki ranmase kadav li yo va lave rad li e li va rete pa pwòp jis rive nan aswè.
Whoever takes away the dead body of one of them is to have his clothing washed, and will be unclean till 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, in the horn of whose foot there is not a complete division, and whose food does not come back, is unclean to you: anyone touching one of these 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.
Any four-footed beast which goes on the ball of its foot, is unclean to you: anyone touching the dead body of one of these will be unclean till 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.
Anyone who takes away the dead body of one of these is to have his clothing washed and be unclean till evening.
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 unclean to you among things which go low down on the earth; the weasel and the mouse and the great lizard, and animals of that sort;
30 zandolit, gwo kayiman, zandolit gongolo avèk kameleyon.
And the ferret 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.
All these are unclean to you: anyone touching them when they are dead will be unclean till 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.
The dead body of any of these, falling on anything, will make that thing unclean; if it is any vessel of wood, or clothing, or skin, or bag, whatever it is, if it is used for any purpose, it will have to be put into water, and will be unclean till evening; after that 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.
And if one of them gets into any vessel of earth, whatever is in the vessel will be unclean and the vessel will have to be broken.
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 in it, and anything on which water from it comes, will be unclean: any drink taken from such a vessel 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.
Any part of the dead body of one of these, falling on anything, will make it unclean; if it is an oven or a cooking-pot it will have to be broken: they are unclean and will 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.
But at the same time a fountain or a place where water is stored for use will be clean; but anyone touching their dead bodies will be unclean.
37 Si yon pati nan kadav yo vin tonbe sou nenpòt semans ki dwe plante, li toujou pwòp.
If any part of the dead body of one of these gets on to any seed for planting, 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 on the seed, and any part of the dead body gets on to it, it will be 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 which may be used for food comes to a natural death, anyone touching its dead body will be unclean till 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 makes use of any part of its body for food is to have his clothing washed and be unclean till evening; and anyone taking away its body is to have his clothing washed and be unclean till evening.
41 “‘Alò, tout bagay trennen ki trennen atè abominab, li pa pou manje.
Everything which goes flat on its body on the earth is disgusting, and is not to be used for food.
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 on its stomach or on four feet or has a great number of feet, even all those going flat on the earth, may not be used for food, for they are disgusting.
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.
You are not to make yourselves disgusting with anything which goes about flat on the earth; you may not make yourselves unclean with them, in such a way that you are not holy to me.
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: for this reason, make and keep yourselves holy, for I am holy; you are not to make yourselves unclean with any sort of thing which goes about flat on 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 the Lord, who took you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God; so be you 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 about beasts and birds and every living thing moving in the waters, and every living thing which goes flat on 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.’”
Marking out the unclean from the clean, and the living thing which may be used for food from that which may not.
