Levitik 17
1 Alò, SENYÈ a te pale avèk Moïse. Li te di:
The Lord told Moses,
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:
“Tell Aaron, his sons, and all the Israelites that this is what the Lord commands:
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,
Any Israelite who kills a bull, a lamb, or a goat, whether inside the camp or outside of it,
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.
instead of bringing it to the entrance to the Tent of Meeting to present it as an offering to the Lord there, that person shall be held guilty of illegal killing. They have shed blood and must be expelled from their 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.
This is why the Israelites have to bring to the Lord the sacrifices they currently offer out in the fields. They must bring them to the priest at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting and offer them as peace offerings to the Lord.
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.
The priest will sprinkle the blood on the altar of the Lord at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting, and burn the fat to be accepted by the Lord.
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.”’”
They must not continue to offer their sacrifices to the goat devils with whom they have acted like prostitutes. This is a regulation for all time and for all future 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,
Warn them that any Israelite or any foreigner living among them who offers a burnt offering or a 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.
without bringing it to the entrance to the Tent of Meeting to sacrifice it to the Lord must be expelled from their people.
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.’
I will disown any Israelite or any foreigner living among them who eats any blood and I will expel them from their 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.
Life is in the body's blood. I have given it to you so that by putting it on the altar your lives can be made right, for it is the lifeblood that makes people's lives right.
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.’
That's why I'm warning the Israelites: None of you is allowed to eat blood, and no foreigner living among you is allowed to 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.
Any Israelite or foreigner living among them who hunts and kills a wild animal or a bird which are allowed be eaten must drain the blood from its body 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 life is in the body's blood. That's why I have warned the Israelites: You are not allowed to eat the blood of anything living, for life is in the body's blood. Anyone who eats it must be expelled.
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.
Anyone, Israelite or foreigner, who eats anything found dead or killed by wild animals must wash their clothes and wash with water, and they will be unclean until the evening. Then they will be clean.
16 Men si li pa lave oswa benyen kò li, li va pote koupabilite li.”
But if they don't wash their clothes and wash themselves with water, then they bear responsibility for their guilt.”
