Levitik 11

1 Senyè a te pale ankò a Moïse avèk Aaron, e Li te di yo:

And the LORD 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 children of Israel, saying, These [are] the beasts 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 parteth the hoof, and is cloven-footed, [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.

Nevertheless, these shall ye not eat, of them that chew the cud, or of them that divide the hoof: the camel, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not 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 cheweth the cud, but divideth not 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 he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof: he [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, though he divideth the hoof, and [is] cloven-footed, yet he cheweth not 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 shall ye not eat, and their carcass shall ye 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 shall ye eat, of all that [are] in the waters: whatever hath fins and scales in the waters, in the seas, and in the rivers, them 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.

And all that have not fins nor scales in the seas, and in the rivers, of all that move in the waters, and of any living animal which [is] in the waters, they [shall be] an abomination to 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 to you; ye shall not eat of their flesh, but ye shall have their carcasses in abomination.

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

Whatever hath no fins nor scales in the waters, that [shall be] 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 [are they which] ye shall have in abomination among the fowls; they shall not be eaten, they [are] an abomination: the eagle, and the ossifrage, and the ospray,

14 malfini, karanklou avèk tout espès li yo,

And the vultur, and the kite after his kind;

15 kòbo, avèk tout espès li yo,

Every raven after his kind;

16 otrich avèk janmichèt, poul dlo, malfini avèk tout espès li yo,

And the owl, and the night-hawk, and the cuckow, and the hawk after his 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 swan, and the pelican, and the gier-eagle,

19 sigòy, krabye avèk tout espès li, chòchòt ak sèpantye.

And the stork, and the heron after her kind, and the lapwing, and the bat.

20 “‘Tout ensèk avèk zèl ki mache sou kat pye abominab pou nou.

All fowls that creep, going upon [all] four, [shall be] 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 may ye eat, of every flying creeping animal that goeth upon [all] four, which have legs above their feet, to leap with 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 beetle 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 [other] flying creeping animals, which have four feet, [shall be] 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 for these ye shall be unclean: whoever toucheth 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 beareth [aught] 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.

[The carcasses] of every beast which divideth the hoof, and [is] not cloven-footed, nor cheweth the cud, [are] unclean to 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 upon its paws, among all manner of beasts that go on [all] four, those [are] unclean to you: whoever toucheth 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 that beareth 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,

These also [shall be] unclean to you among the creeping animals that creep upon the earth; the weasel, and the mouse, and the tortoise, after its kind,

30 zandolit, gwo kayiman, zandolit gongolo avèk kameleyon.

And the ferret and the chameleon, and the lizard, and the snail, and the mole.

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] unclean to you among all that creep: whoever doth touch 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, when they are dead, doth fall, it shall be unclean; whether [it is] any vessel of wood, or raiment, or skin, or sack, whatever vessel [it is], in which [any] work is done, it must be put into water, and it shall be unclean until the evening; so it shall be cleansed.

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.

Of all meat which may be eaten, [that] on which [such] water cometh shall be unclean: and all drink that may be drank 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 every [thing] on which [any part] of their carcass falleth, shall be unclean; [whether] an oven, or ranges for pots, they shall be broken down: [for] 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 pit, [in which there is] plenty of water, shall be clean: but that which toucheth 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 part] of their carcass shall 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 [any] water shall be put upon the seed, and [any part] of their carcass shall fall on it, it [shall 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, of which ye may eat, shall die; he that toucheth its carcass 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 that eateth of its carcass shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the evening; he also that beareth its carcass 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 animal that creepeth upon 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 upon the belly, and whatever goeth upon [all] four, or whatever hath more feet among all creeping animals 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 your selves abominable with any creeping animal that creepeth, neither shall ye make yourselves unclean with them, that ye should be 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: ye shall therefore sanctify yourselves, and ye shall be holy; for I [am] holy: neither shall ye defile yourselves with any manner of creeping animal that creepeth 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] the LORD that bringeth you 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 beasts, and of the fowl, and of every living creature that moveth in the waters, and of every creature that creepeth 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 difference between the unclean and the clean, and between the beast that may be eaten and the beast that may not be eaten.
