Levitik 17
1 Alò, SENYÈ a te pale avèk Moïse. Li te di:
And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
2 “Pale avèk Aaron, avèk fis li yo e ak tout fis Israël yo. Di yo: ‘Se sa ke SENYÈ a te kòmande e te di:
Speak unto Aaron, and unto his sons, and unto all the children of Israel, and say unto them, This is the thing which Jehovah hath commanded, saying,
3 “Nenpòt moun ki sòti lakay Israël ki touye yon bèf oswa yon jenn mouton, oswa yon kabrit nan kan an, oswa touye li deyò kan an,
Every one of the house of Israel that slaughtereth an ox, or sheep, or goat, in the camp, or that slaughtereth it out of the camp,
4 epi ki pa t pote li nan pòtay tant asanble a pou prezante li kòm yon ofrann a SENYÈ a devan tabènak SENYÈ a, koupabilite vèse san an va kontwole sou moun sila a. Li te vèse san e moun sa a va koupe retire de pèp li a.
and doth not bring it to the entrance of the tent of meeting to present it as an offering to Jehovah, before the tabernacle of Jehovah, blood shall be reckoned unto that man: he hath shed blood; and that man shall be cut off from among his people,
5 Rezon pou sa a se pou pèmèt fis Israël yo pote sakrifis ke y ap fè nan gran chan yo, pou yo kapab pote yo antre vè SENYÈ a, nan pòtay tant asanble a vè prèt la, e pou fè sakrifis yo kòm sakrifis ofrann lapè bay SENYÈ a.
to the end that the children of Israel bring their sacrifices, which they sacrifice in the open field, that they bring them to Jehovah, unto the entrance of the tent of meeting, unto the priest, and sacrifice them as sacrifices of peace-offerings to Jehovah.
6 Prèt la va flite san an sou lotèl SENYÈ a nan pòtay tant asanble a, e li va ofri grès la nan lafimen kòm yon bagay santi bon bay SENYÈ a.
And the priest shall sprinkle the blood upon the altar of Jehovah, at the entrance of the tent of meeting, and burn the fat for a sweet odour to Jehovah.
7 Yo p ap fè sakrifis yo ankò bay kabrit a zidòl demon avèk sila yo fè jwèt pwostitisyon yo. Sa se yon règleman pou tout jenerasyon pa yo.”’”
And they shall no more sacrifice their sacrifices unto demons, after whom they go a whoring. This shall be an everlasting statute unto them for their generations.
8 “Epi ou va di yo: ‘Nenpòt moun lakay Israël la, oswa etranje ki rete pami nou yo, ki ofri yon ofrann brile oswa yon sakrifis,
And thou shalt say unto them, Every one of the house of Israel, and of the strangers who sojourn among them, that offereth up a burnt-offering or sacrifice,
9 epi ki pa mennen li nan pòtay tant asanble a pou ofri li bay SENYÈ a, moun sila a osi va koupe retire de pèp li a.
and bringeth it not to the entrance of the tent of meeting, to offer it up to Jehovah — that man shall be cut off from his peoples.
10 “‘Epi nenpòt moun lakay Israël la, oswa etranje ki rete pami yo, ki bwè nenpòt san, Mwen va mete figi Mwen kont moun sa a ki bwè san an, e li va koupe retire de pèp li a.’
And every one of the house of Israel, or of the strangers who sojourn among them, that eateth any manner of blood, — I will set my face against the soul that hath eaten blood, and will cut him off from among his people;
11 Paske vi a chè a se nan san an, e Mwen te bannou li sou lotèl la pou fè ekspiyasyon pou nanm nou; paske se san li ye, akoz lavi ki fè ekspiyasyon an.
for the soul of the flesh is in the blood; and I have given it to you upon the altar to make atonement for your souls, for it is the blood that maketh atonement for the soul.
12 Pou sa, Mwen te di a fis Israël yo: ‘Pèsòn pami nou pa pou bwè san, ni okenn etranje ki rete pami nou p ap kab bwè san.’
Therefore have I said unto the children of Israel, No soul of you shall eat blood, neither shall the stranger who sojourneth among you eat blood.
13 “Pou sa, lè yon moun pami fis Israël yo oswa nan etranje ki rete pami yo, ki nan fè lachas kenbe yon bèt oswa yon zwazo ki kapab manje, li va vide san li e kouvri li avèk tè.
And every one of the children of Israel, and of the strangers who sojourn among them, that catcheth in the hunt a beast or fowl that may be eaten, he shall pour out the blood thereof, and cover it with earth;
14 Paske lavi tout chè, se san li ki lavi li. Pou sa, Mwen te di a fis Israël yo: “Nou pa pou bwè san de okenn nan chè yo, paske lavi tout chè se san li. Nenpòt moun ki bwè li, va koupe retire.
for as to the life of all flesh, its blood is the life in it; and I have said unto the children of Israel, Of the blood of no manner of flesh shall ye eat, for the life of all flesh is its blood: whoever eateth it shall be cut off.
15 “Lè yon moun manje yon bèt ki mouri oswa ki chire pa lòt bèt kit li se yon moun peyi a, oswa yon etranje, li va lave rad li, li va benyen nan dlo, e li va rete pa pwòp jis rive nan aswè. Konsa, li va vin pwòp.
And every soul that eateth of a dead carcase, or of that which was torn, be it one home-born, or a stranger, he shall wash his clothes, and bathe in water, and be unclean until the even: then he shall be clean.
16 Men si li pa lave oswa benyen kò li, li va pote koupabilite li.”
And if he wash them not nor bathe his flesh, then he shall bear his iniquity.
