Levitik 17
1 Alò, SENYÈ a te pale avèk Moïse. Li te di:
And YHWH spake unto 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 YHWH 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,
What man soever there be of the house of Israel, that killeth an ox, or lamb, or goat, in the camp, or that killeth 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 bringeth it not unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, to offer an offering unto YHWH before the tabernacle of YHWH; blood shall be imputed 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 may bring their sacrifices, which they offer in the open field, even that they may bring them unto YHWH, unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, unto the priest, and offer them for peace offerings unto YHWH.
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 YHWH at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and burn the fat for a sweet savour unto YHWH.
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 offer their sacrifices unto devils, after whom they have gone a whoring. This shall be a statute for ever unto them throughout 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, Whatsoever man there be of the house of Israel, or of the strangers which sojourn among you, that offereth a burnt offering of 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 unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, to offer it unto YHWH; even that man shall be cut off from among his 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.’
And whatsoever man there be of the house of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn among you, that eateth any manner of blood; I will even set my face against that soul that eateth 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 life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that maketh an 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 I said unto the children of Israel, No soul of you shall eat blood, neither shall any stranger that 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 whatsoever man there be of the children of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn among you, which hunteth and catcheth any beast or fowl that may be eaten; he shall even pour out the blood thereof, and cover it with dust.
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 it is the life of all flesh; the blood of it is for the life thereof: therefore I said unto the children of Israel, Ye shall eat the blood of no manner of flesh: for the life of all flesh is the blood thereof: whosoever 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 that which died of itself, or that which was torn with beasts, whether it be one of your own country, or a stranger, he shall both wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even: then shall he be clean.
16 Men si li pa lave oswa benyen kò li, li va pote koupabilite li.”
But if he wash them not, nor bathe his flesh; then he shall bear his iniquity.
