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 unto the children of Israel, saying, These are the animals which ye shall eat of all the beasts which 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 hath cloven hoofs, and feet quite split open, and cheweth the cud, among the beasts — that shall 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.

Only these shall ye not eat of those that chew the cud, or of those with cloven hoofs: the camel, for it cheweth the cud, but hath not cloven hoofs — it shall be unclean unto 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 it cheweth the cud, but hath not cloven hoofs — it shall be unclean unto you;

6 Lapèn tou, paske malgre li remoute manje, li pa divize zago; li pa pwòp pou nou.

and the hare, for it cheweth the cud, but hath not cloven hoofs — it shall be unclean unto 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, for it hath cloven hoofs, and feet quite split open, but it cheweth not the cud — it shall be unclean unto you.

8 Nou pa pou manje chè yo, ni touche kadav yo; yo pa pwòp pou nou.

Of their flesh shall ye not eat, and their carcase shall ye not touch: they shall be unclean unto 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 shall ye eat of all that are in the waters: whatever hath fins and scales in waters, in seas and in rivers, these shall 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.

but all that have not fins and scales in seas and in rivers, of all that swarm in the waters, and of every living soul which is in the waters — they shall be an abomination unto you.

11 Konsa, yo va abominab pou nou. Nou pa pou manje chè yo, ak kadav yo. Nou va deteste yo.

They shall be even an abomination unto you: of their flesh shall ye not eat, and their carcase ye shall have in abomination.

12 Nenpòt sa ki nan dlo ki pa gen zèl ak kal abominab pou nou.

Whatever in the waters hath no fins and scales, that shall be an abomination unto you.

13 “‘Sa yo, anplis, nou va deteste pami zwazo yo; yo abominab, yo pa pou manje: èg, òfrè, avèk èg lanmè,

And these shall ye have in abomination of the fowls; they shall not be eaten; an abomination shall they be: the eagle, and the ossifrage, and the sea-eagle,

14 malfini, karanklou avèk tout espès li yo,

and the falcon, and the kite, 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 female ostrich and the male ostrich, and the sea-gull, and the hawk, after its kind;

17 koukou, plonjon ak frize,

and the owl, and the gannet, and the ibis,

18 gwo kana mawon blan, pelikan, chwèt,

and the swan, 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.

Every winged crawling thing that goeth upon all four shall be an abomination unto 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 shall ye eat of every winged crawling thing that goeth upon all four: those 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.

These shall ye eat of them: the arbeh after its kind, and the solam after its kind, and the hargol after its kind, and the hargab after its kind.

23 Men tout lòt ensèk a zèl ki gen kat pye abominab pou nou.

But every winged crawling thing that hath four feet shall be an abomination unto 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 make yourselves unclean; whoever toucheth their carcase shall be unclean until the even.

25 Nenpòt moun ki ranmase kadav li yo va lave rad li e li va rete pa pwòp jis rive nan aswè.

And whoever carrieth [ought] of their carcase shall wash his garments, and be unclean until the even.

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 that hath cloven hoofs, but not feet quite split open, nor cheweth the cud, shall be unclean unto you: every one that toucheth 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 goeth on its paws, among all manner of beasts that go upon all four, those are unclean unto you: whoever toucheth their carcase shall be unclean until the even.

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 that carrieth their carcase shall wash his garments, and be unclean until the even: they shall be unclean unto 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 shall be unclean unto you among the crawling things which crawl on the earth: the mole, and the field-mouse, and the lizard, after its kind;

30 zandolit, gwo kayiman, zandolit gongolo avèk kameleyon.

and the groaning lizard, and the great red lizard, and the climbing lizard, and the chomet, 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 shall be unclean unto you among all that crawl: whoever toucheth them when they are dead, shall be unclean until the even.

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 on whatever any of them when they are dead doth fall, it shall be unclean; all vessels of wood, or garment, or skin, or sack, every vessel wherewith work is done — it shall be put into water, and be unclean until the even; then shall it 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 falleth — 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 that is eaten on which [such] water hath come shall be unclean; and all drink that is drunk shall be unclean, in every [such] vessel.

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 where upon [any part] of their carcase falleth shall be unclean; oven and hearth shall be broken down: they are unclean, and shall be unclean unto 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 a well, a quantity of water, shall be clean. But he that toucheth their carcase shall be unclean.

37 Si yon pati nan kadav yo vin tonbe sou nenpòt semans ki dwe plante, li toujou pwòp.

And if any part of their carcase fall upon any sowing-seed which is to be sown, it shall be 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 have been put on the seed, and any part of their carcase fall thereon, it shall be unclean unto 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 is to you for food die, he that toucheth the carcase thereof shall be unclean until the even.

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 that eateth of its carcase shall wash his garments, and be unclean until the even: he also that carrieth its carcase shall wash his garments, and be unclean until the even.

41 “‘Alò, tout bagay trennen ki trennen atè abominab, li pa pou manje.

And every crawling thing which crawleth on the earth shall be 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 goeth on the belly, and whatever goeth on all four, and all that have a great many feet, of every manner of crawling thing which crawleth on the earth — these 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 through any crawling thing which crawleth, neither shall ye make yourselves unclean with them, that ye should be defiled thereby.

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; and ye shall hallow yourselves, and ye shall be holy; for I am holy; and ye shall not make yourselves unclean through any manner of crawling thing which creepeth 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 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 cattle, and of fowl, and of every living soul that moveth in the waters, and of every soul that crawleth 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.’”

to make a difference between the unclean and the clean, and between the beast that is to be eaten and the beast that is not to be eaten.
