Levitik 12
1 Alò, SENYÈ a te pale avèk Moïse. Li te di:
The Lord told Moses, “Give these instructions to the Israelites.
2 “Pale avèk fis Israël yo. Di yo: ‘Lè yon fanm ansent e vin fè yon pitit gason, alò, li va pa pwòp pandan sèt jou. Tankou nan jou règ li yo, li va pa pwòp.
Any woman who becomes pregnant and has a boy, she will be unclean for one week, in the same way that she is unclean during her period.
3 Nan uityèm jou a, chè ti pijon pitit gason an va vin sikonsi.
The boy's foreskin must be circumcised on the eighth day.
4 Alò, manman li va rete nan pirifikasyon san li pandan trant-twa jou. Li pa pou touche okenn bagay ki konsakre, ni antre nan sanktyè a jiskaske jou pirifikasyon li yo fin akonpli.
The woman must wait a further thirty-three days for the purification of her bleeding. She is not allowed to touch anything holy, and she is not allowed to enter the sanctuary until her time of purification is finished.
5 Men si li pote yon pitit fi, li va pa pwòp pandan de semèn, tankou nan lè règ li. Konsa, li va rete nan san pirifikasyon li an pandan swasann-si jou.
If a woman has a daughter, she will be unclean for two weeks, in the same way that she is unclean during her menstrual period. The woman must wait a further sixty-six days for the purification of her blood.
6 “‘Lè jou pirifikasyon li yo fin akonpli, pou yon fis, oswa yon fi, li va pote kote prèt la nan pòtay tant asanble a, yon jenn mouton sou laj en an kòm yon ofrann brile, ak yon jenn pijon oswa toutrèl kòm yon ofrann peche.
Once the time of purification is finished for either a son or a daughter, the woman must bring a year-old lamb as a burnt offering and a young pigeon or turtledove as a purification offering. She is to bring her offerings to the priest at the entrance of the Tent of Meeting.
7 Prèt la, va ofri li devan SENYÈ a. Li va fè ekspiyasyon pou fi a, e konsa, li va netwaye de flo san li an. “‘Sa se lalwa pou sila ki pote pitit yo, kit li mal, kit li femèl.
The priest will then present them to the Lord to purify her so she will be clean from her bleeding. These are the regulations for a woman after she's had a son or a daughter.
8 Men si li pa gen mwayen achte yon jenn mouton, alò, li va pote de toutrèl, oswa de jenn pijon, youn pou ofrann brile a, e lòt la pou ofrann peche a. Konsa, prèt la va fè ekspiyasyon pou li e li va vin pwòp.’”
If a woman can't afford to bring a lamb, she is to bring two turtledoves or two young pigeons. One is for the burnt offering and the other for the purification offering. The priest will offer them to purify her, and she will be clean.”
