Levitik 18
1 Alò SENYÈ a te pale avèk Moïse. Li te di:
Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
2 “Pale avèk fis Israël yo. Di yo: ‘Mwen se SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an.
“Speak to the people of Israel and say to them, 'I am Yahweh 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 do the things that the people do in Egypt, where you lived previously. You must not do the things that the people do in Canaan, the land to which I am taking you. Do not follow 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.
My laws are what you must do, and my commandments are what you must keep, so that you walk in them, because I am Yahweh 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.
Therefore you must keep my decrees and my laws. If a person obeys them, he will live because of them. I am Yahweh.
6 “‘Pinga okenn nan nou pwoche okenn fanmi de san nou pou dekouvri nidite li: Mwen se SENYÈ a.
No one must sleep with any close relative to uncover his nakedness. I am Yahweh.
7 “‘Nou pa pou dekouvri nidite papa nou, ni nidite a manman nou. Li se manman nou; nou pa pou dekouvri nidite li.
Do not dishonor your father by sleeping with your mother. She is your mother! You must not dishonor her.
8 “‘Nou pa pou dekouvri nidite madanm papa nou. Li se nidite a papa nou.
Do not sleep with any of your father's wives; you must not dishonor your father like that.
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.
Do not sleep with any sister of yours, whether she is the daughter of your father or the daughter of your mother, whether she was raised at your home or distant from you. You must not sleep with your sisters.
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.
Do not sleep with your son's daughter or with your daughter's daughter. That would be your own shame.
11 “‘Nidite a pitit fi madanm a papa nou, fèt pou papa nou, li se sè nou, nou pa pou dekouvri nidite li.
Do not sleep with your father's wife's daughter, who was born of your father. She is your sister, and you must not sleep with her.
12 “‘Nou pa pou dekouvri nidite sè papa nou. Li se pwòp relasyon san papa nou.
Do not sleep with your father's sister. She is a close relative to your father.
13 “‘Nou pa pou dekouvri nidite sè manman nou, paske li se pwòp san manman nou.
Do not sleep with your mother's sister. She is a close relative to your mother.
14 “‘Nou pa pou dekouvri nidite frè papa nou. Nou pa pou pwoche madanm li. Li se matant nou.
Do not dishonor the brother of your father by sleeping with his wife. Do not go near her for that purpose; she is your aunt.
15 “‘Nou pa pou dekouvri nidite bèlfi nou. Li se madanm a fis nou. Nou pa pou dekouvri nidite li.
Do not sleep with your daughter-in-law. She is your son's wife; do not sleep with her.
16 “‘Nou pa pou dekouvri nidite madanm frè nou. Li se nidite a frè nou.
Do not sleep with your brother's wife; do not dishonor him in this way.
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.
Do not sleep with a woman and her daughter, or with her son's daughter or her daughter's daughter. They are close relatives to her, and sleeping with them would be wicked.
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 marry your wife's sister as a second wife and sleep with her while your first wife is alive.
19 “‘Osi nou pa pou pwoche yon fanm pou dekouvri nidite li pandan règ li fè l pa pwòp.
Do not sleep with a woman during her menstruation. She is unclean during that time.
20 “‘Nou pa pou fè zak seksyèl avèk madanm vwazen nou pou nou ta vin konwonpi ansanm avèk li.
Do not sleep with your neighbor's wife and defile yourself with her in this way.
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 put them into the fire, so that you sacrifice them to Molech, because you must not profane the name of your God. I am Yahweh.
22 “‘Nou pa pou kouche avèk yon gason jan yon moun ta kouche avèk yon fanm. Li se yon abominasyon.
Do not sleep with other men as with a woman. This would be wicked.
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.
Do not sleep with any animal and defile yourself with it. No woman must consider sleeping with any animal. This would be 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 in any of these ways, for in all these ways the nations are defiled, the nations that I will drive out from before you.
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.
The land became defiled, so I punished their sin, and the land vomited 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
You, therefore, must keep my commandments and decrees, and you must not do any of these detestable things, neither the native-born Israelite 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 this is the wickedness that the people in the land have committed, those who lived here before you, and now the land is 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.
Therefore be careful so that the land does not vomit you up also after you have defiled it, as it vomited out the people who were before you.
29 “‘Paske nenpòt moun ki fè okenn nan abominasyon sa yo, moun sa yo va vin koupe retire de pèp li a.
Whoever does any of these detestable things, the persons who do such things will 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.’”
Therefore you must keep my command not to practice any of these detestable customs which were practiced here before you, so that you do not defile yourselves by them. I am Yahweh your God.'”
