Levitik 18
1 Alò SENYÈ a te pale avèk Moïse. Li te di:
Then the LORD said to Moses,
2 “Pale avèk fis Israël yo. Di yo: ‘Mwen se SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an.
“Speak to the Israelites and tell them: I am the LORD your God.
3 Pinga nou fè sa ki te fèt nan peyi Égypte kote nou te rete a, ni pinga nou fè sa ki fèt nan peyi Canaan kote Mwen ap mennen nou an. Pinga nou mache nan règleman pa yo.
You must not follow the practices of the land of Egypt, where you used to live, and you must not follow the practices of the land of Canaan, into which I am bringing you. You must not walk in their customs.
4 Se pou nou aji selon jijman pa M e kenbe règleman pa M, pou mache nan yo. Mwen se SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an.
You are to practice My judgments and keep My statutes by walking in them. I am the LORD your God.
5 Konsa nou va kenbe règleman Mwen yo, ak jijman Mwen yo, pa sila yon nonm kapab viv si li fè yo. Mwen se SENYÈ a.
Keep My statutes and My judgments, for the man who does these things will live by them. I am the LORD.
6 “‘Pinga okenn nan nou pwoche okenn fanmi de san nou pou dekouvri nidite li: Mwen se SENYÈ a.
None of you are to approach any close relative to have sexual relations. I am the LORD.
7 “‘Nou pa pou dekouvri nidite papa nou, ni nidite a manman nou. Li se manman nou; nou pa pou dekouvri nidite li.
You must not expose the nakedness of your father by having sexual relations with your mother. She is your mother; you must not have sexual relations with her.
8 “‘Nou pa pou dekouvri nidite madanm papa nou. Li se nidite a papa nou.
You must not have sexual relations with your father’s wife; it would dishonor your father.
9 “‘Nidite a sè nou, oswa fi papa nou, oswa fi manman nou, kit li fèt nan kay la, kit li fèt deyò; nidite pa yo, nou pa pou dekouvri yo.
You must not have sexual relations with your sister, either your father’s daughter or your mother’s daughter, whether she was born in the same home or elsewhere.
10 “‘Nidite fi a fis nou, oswa fi a fi nou; nidite yo, nou pa pou dekouvri yo; paske nidite pa yo se pa nou.
You must not have sexual relations with your son’s daughter or your daughter’s daughter, for that would shame your family.
11 “‘Nidite a pitit fi madanm a papa nou, fèt pou papa nou, li se sè nou, nou pa pou dekouvri nidite li.
You must not have sexual relations with the daughter of your father’s wife, born to your father; she is your sister.
12 “‘Nou pa pou dekouvri nidite sè papa nou. Li se pwòp relasyon san papa nou.
You must not have sexual relations with your father’s sister; she is your father’s close relative.
13 “‘Nou pa pou dekouvri nidite sè manman nou, paske li se pwòp san manman nou.
You must not have sexual relations with your mother’s sister, for she is your mother’s close relative.
14 “‘Nou pa pou dekouvri nidite frè papa nou. Nou pa pou pwoche madanm li. Li se matant nou.
You must not dishonor your father’s brother by approaching his wife to have sexual relations with her; she is your aunt.
15 “‘Nou pa pou dekouvri nidite bèlfi nou. Li se madanm a fis nou. Nou pa pou dekouvri nidite li.
You must not have sexual relations with your daughter-in-law. She is your son’s wife; you are not to have sexual relations with her.
16 “‘Nou pa pou dekouvri nidite madanm frè nou. Li se nidite a frè nou.
You must not have sexual relations with your brother’s wife; that would shame your brother.
17 “‘Nou pa pou dekouvri nidite a yon fanm avèk fi li. Ni nou pa pou pran fi a fis li, ni fi a fi li, pou dekouvri nidite li. Yo se relasyon san. Sa vrèman lèd.
You must not have sexual relations with both a woman and her daughter. You are not to marry her son’s daughter or her daughter’s daughter and have sexual relations with her. They are close relatives; it is depraved.
18 “‘Nou pa pou marye yon fanm ansanm avèk sè li pou fè jalouzi pandan sè li toujou vivan an, pou dekouvri nidite li.
You must not take your wife’s sister as a rival wife and have sexual relations with her while your wife is still alive.
19 “‘Osi nou pa pou pwoche yon fanm pou dekouvri nidite li pandan règ li fè l pa pwòp.
You must not approach a woman to have sexual relations with her during her menstrual period.
20 “‘Nou pa pou fè zak seksyèl avèk madanm vwazen nou pou nou ta vin konwonpi ansanm avèk li.
You must not lie carnally with your neighbor’s wife and thus defile yourself with her.
21 “‘Nou pa pou bay okenn nan pitit nou yo pou ofri bay Moloc. Nou pa pou degrade non Bondye. Mwen se SENYÈ a.
You must not give any of your children to be sacrificed to Molech, for you must not profane the name of your God. I am the LORD.
22 “‘Nou pa pou kouche avèk yon gason jan yon moun ta kouche avèk yon fanm. Li se yon abominasyon.
You must not lie with a man as with a woman; that is an abomination.
23 “‘Osi, nou pa pou fè zak seksyèl avèk okenn bèt pou nou ta vin degrade avèk li. Ni okenn fanm pa pou kanpe devan yon bèt pou kwaze avèk li. Sa se yon pèvèsyon.
You must not lie carnally with any animal, thus defiling yourself with it; a woman must not stand before an animal to mate with it; that is a perversion.
24 “‘Pa konwonpi tèt nou avèk okenn nan bagay sa yo; paske, se pou tout bagay sa yo, nasyon ke Mwen ap mete deyò devan nou yo, te vin konwonpi.
Do not defile yourselves by any of these practices, for by all these things the nations I am driving out before you have defiled themselves.
25 Paske peyi a gen tan vin konwonpi. Pou sa, Mwen te fè pinisyon li rive sou li, jiskaske peyi a vin krache moun ki rete la yo, mete yo deyò.
Even the land has become defiled, so I am punishing it for its sin, and the land will vomit out its inhabitants.
26 Men pou nou, se pou nou kenbe règleman Mwen yo, jijman Mwen yo, e pa fè okenn nan abominasyon sa yo, ni moun peyi a, ni etranje ki viv pami nou yo
But you are to keep My statutes and ordinances, and you must not commit any of these abominations—neither your native-born nor the foreigner who lives among you.
27 (paske moun peyi a ki te devan nou yo, te fè tout abominasyon sa yo, e peyi a te vin konwonpi);
For the men who were in the land before you committed all these abominations, and the land has become defiled.
28 pou peyi a pa krache mete nou deyò, si nou ta vin konwonpi li, tankou li te krache mete deyò nasyon ki te devan nou yo.
So if you defile the land, it will vomit you out as it spewed out the nations before you.
29 “‘Paske nenpòt moun ki fè okenn nan abominasyon sa yo, moun sa yo va vin koupe retire de pèp li a.
Therefore anyone who commits any of these abominations must be cut off from among his people.
30 Konsa, se pou nou kenbe lòd Mwen, pou nou pa pratike okenn nan abitid abominab ki te konn fèt avan nou yo, pou nou pa konwonpi tèt nou avèk yo. Mwen se SENYÈ a, Bondye Nou an.’”
You must keep My charge not to practice any of the abominable customs that were practiced before you, so that you do not defile yourselves by them. I am the LORD your God.”
