Levitik 18
1 Alò SENYÈ a te pale avèk Moïse. Li te di:
And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
2 “Pale avèk fis Israël yo. Di yo: ‘Mwen se SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an.
Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, I am Jehovah 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.
After the doings of the land of Egypt, wherein ye dwelt, shall ye not do; and after the doings of the land of Canaan, whither I bring you, shall ye not do; neither shall ye 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.
Mine ordinances shall ye do and my statutes shall ye observe to walk therein: I am Jehovah 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.
And ye shall observe my statutes and my judgments, by which the man that doeth them shall live: I am Jehovah.
6 “‘Pinga okenn nan nou pwoche okenn fanmi de san nou pou dekouvri nidite li: Mwen se SENYÈ a.
No one shall approach to any that is his near relation, to uncover his nakedness: I am Jehovah.
7 “‘Nou pa pou dekouvri nidite papa nou, ni nidite a manman nou. Li se manman nou; nou pa pou dekouvri nidite li.
The nakedness of thy father, and the nakedness of thy mother, shalt thou not uncover: she is thy mother: thou shalt not uncover her nakedness.
8 “‘Nou pa pou dekouvri nidite madanm papa nou. Li se nidite a papa nou.
The nakedness of thy father's wife shalt thou not uncover: it is thy father's nakedness.
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.
The nakedness of thy sister, the daughter of thy father, or daughter of thy mother, born at home, or born abroad — their nakedness shalt thou not uncover.
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.
The nakedness of thy son's daughter, or of thy daughter's daughter — their nakedness shalt thou not uncover; for theirs is thy nakedness.
11 “‘Nidite a pitit fi madanm a papa nou, fèt pou papa nou, li se sè nou, nou pa pou dekouvri nidite li.
The nakedness of thy father's wife's daughter, begotten of thy father: she is thy sister: thou shalt not uncover her nakedness.
12 “‘Nou pa pou dekouvri nidite sè papa nou. Li se pwòp relasyon san papa nou.
The nakedness of thy father's sister shalt thou not uncover: she is thy father's near relation.
13 “‘Nou pa pou dekouvri nidite sè manman nou, paske li se pwòp san manman nou.
The nakedness of thy mother's sister shalt thou not uncover; for she is thy mother's near relation.
14 “‘Nou pa pou dekouvri nidite frè papa nou. Nou pa pou pwoche madanm li. Li se matant nou.
The nakedness of thy father's brother shalt thou not uncover; thou shalt not approach his wife: she is thine aunt.
15 “‘Nou pa pou dekouvri nidite bèlfi nou. Li se madanm a fis nou. Nou pa pou dekouvri nidite li.
The nakedness of thy daughter-in-law shalt thou not uncover: she is thy son's wife; thou shalt not uncover her nakedness.
16 “‘Nou pa pou dekouvri nidite madanm frè nou. Li se nidite a frè nou.
The nakedness of thy brother's wife shalt thou not uncover: it is thy brother's nakedness.
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.
The nakedness of a woman and her daughter shalt thou not uncover; thou shalt not take her son's daughter, nor her daughter's daughter, to uncover her nakedness: they are her near relations: it is wickedness.
18 “‘Nou pa pou marye yon fanm ansanm avèk sè li pou fè jalouzi pandan sè li toujou vivan an, pou dekouvri nidite li.
And thou shalt not take a wife to her sister, to vex her, to uncover her nakedness beside her, during her life.
19 “‘Osi nou pa pou pwoche yon fanm pou dekouvri nidite li pandan règ li fè l pa pwòp.
And thou shalt not approach a woman in the separation of her uncleanness to uncover her nakedness.
20 “‘Nou pa pou fè zak seksyèl avèk madanm vwazen nou pou nou ta vin konwonpi ansanm avèk li.
And thou shalt not lie carnally with thy neighbour's wife, to become unclean 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.
And thou shalt not give of thy seed to let them pass through [the fire] to Molech, neither shalt thou profane the name of thy God: I am Jehovah.
22 “‘Nou pa pou kouche avèk yon gason jan yon moun ta kouche avèk yon fanm. Li se yon abominasyon.
And thou shalt not lie with mankind as one lieth with a woman: it 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.
And thou shalt lie with no beast to become unclean therewith; and a woman shall not stand before a beast to lie down with it: it is confusion.
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.
Make not yourselves unclean in any of these things; for in all these have the nations which I am casting out before you made themselves unclean.
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.
And the land hath become unclean; and I visit the iniquity thereof upon it, and the land vomiteth 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 ye shall observe my statutes and my judgments, and shall not commit any of all these abominations: the home-born, and the stranger that sojourneth 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 all these abominations have the men of the land done, who were before you, and the land hath been made unclean);
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.
that the land vomit you not out, when ye make it unclean, as it vomited out the nation that was before you.
29 “‘Paske nenpòt moun ki fè okenn nan abominasyon sa yo, moun sa yo va vin koupe retire de pèp li a.
For whoever committeth any of these abominations, ...the souls that commit them shall be cut off from among their 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.’”
And ye shall observe my charge, that ye commit not [any] of the abominable customs which were committed before you; and ye shall not make yourselves unclean therein: I am Jehovah your God.
