Levitik 19
1 Alò, SENYÈ a te pale ak Moïse. Li te di:
And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
2 “Pale avèk tout asanble a fis Israël yo. Di yo: ‘Nou va sen, paske Mwen menm, SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, Mwen sen.
Speak to all the congregation of the sons of Israel, and say to them, Ye shall be holy, for I Jehovah your God am holy.
3 “‘Nou chak va onore manman nou ak papa nou, e nou va kenbe Saba Mwen yo. Mwen se SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an.
Every man shall fear his mother and his father. And ye shall keep my sabbaths. I am Jehovah your God.
4 “‘Pa vire vè zidòl yo, ni fè pou nou menm dye metal fonn yo. Mwen se SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an.
Turn ye not to idols, nor make to yourselves molten gods. I am Jehovah your God.
5 “‘Alò, lè nou ofri yon sakrifis lapè bay SENYÈ a, nou va ofri li pou nou kapab vin aksepte.
And when ye offer a sacrifice of peace offerings to Jehovah, ye shall offer it that ye may be accepted.
6 Li va manje nan menm jou ke nou ofri li a, ak jou apre a. Si gen ki rete jis nan twazyèm jou a, li va vin brile avèk dife.
It shall be eaten the same day ye offer it, and on the morrow. And if any remain until the third day, it shall be burnt with fire.
7 Konsa, si li ta manje menm nan twazyèm jou a, sa se yon ofans. Li p ap aksepte.
And if it is eaten at all on the third day, it is an abomination. It shall not be accepted.
8 Tout sila ki manje li yo, va pote inikite li, paske li te degrade bagay sen SENYÈ a. Konsa, moun sa a va koupe retire de pèp li a.
But he who eats it shall bear his iniquity, because he has profaned the holy thing of Jehovah, and that soul shall be cut off from his people.
9 “‘Alò, lè nou fè rekòlt nan tè nou, nou p ap rekòlte rive jis nan kwen chan an, ni nou p ap ranmase ti rès ki tonbe a.
And when ye reap the harvest of your land, thou shall not wholly reap the corners of thy field, nor shall thou gather the gleaning of thy harvest.
10 Ni nou p ap ranmase ti rès fwi nan chan rezen nou yo. Nou va kite yo pou malere yo ak etranje yo. Mwen se SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an.
And thou shall not glean thy vineyard, nor shall thou gather the fallen fruit of thy vineyard. Thou shall leave them for the poor man and for the sojourner. I am Jehovah your God.
11 “‘Nou pa pou vòlè, ni twonpe, ni manti youn ak lòt.
Ye shall not steal, nor shall ye deal falsely, nor lie one to another.
12 “‘Nou pa pou fè fo sèman nan non Mwen pou degrade non a Bondye nou an. Mwen se SENYÈ a.
And ye shall not swear by my name falsely, and profane the name of thy God. I am Jehovah.
13 “‘Nou pa pou oprime vwazen nou, ni vòlè li. Salè a yon ouvriye jounalye pa pou rete nan men nou tout lannwit pou rive nan maten.
Thou shall not oppress thy neighbor, nor rob him. The wages of a hired servant shall not abide with thee all night until the morning.
14 “‘Nou pa pou anmède yon moun soud, ni mete yon obstak pou fè avèg la tonbe, men nou va gen krentif pou Bondye nou an. Mwen se SENYÈ a.
Thou shall not curse the deaf, nor put a stumbling block before the blind, but thou shall fear thy God. I am Jehovah.
15 “‘Nou pa pou fè lenjistis nan jijman nou yo. Nou pa pou apiye vè malere a, ni apiye vè moun pwisan an, men nou va jije vwazen nou avèk jistis.
Ye shall do no unrighteousness in judgment. Thou shall not respect the person of the poor man, nor honor the person of the mighty man, but thou shall judge thy neighbor in righteousness.
16 “‘Nou pa pou mache bay kout lang pami pèp nou an. Nou pa pou fè zak kont lavi vwazen nou yo. Mwen se SENYÈ a.
Thou shall not go up and down as a talebearer among thy people, neither shall thou stand against the blood of thy neighbor. I am Jehovah.
17 “‘Nou pa pou rayi pwochen peyi nou nan kè nou. Nou mèt toujou korije vwazen nou, pou nou pa pote peche akoz li.
Thou shall not hate thy brother in thy heart. Thou shall surely rebuke thy neighbor, and not bear sin because of him.
18 “‘Nou pa pou pran vanjans ni pote lahèn nan kè nou kont fis pèp nou an; men nou va renmen pwochen nou tankou tèt nou. Mwen se SENYÈ a.
Thou shall not take vengeance, nor bear any grudge against the sons of thy people, but thou shall love thy neighbor as thyself. I am Jehovah.
19 “‘Se pou nou kenbe règleman Mwen yo. Nou pa pou fè kwazman de ras bèf. Nou pa pou plante chan nou avèk de kalite grenn; Ni pou abiye ak yon vètman ki gen de kalite twal ki mele ansanm.
Ye shall keep my statutes. Thou shall not let thy cattle engender with a diverse kind. Thou shall not sow thy field with two kinds of seed, neither shall there come upon thee a garment of two kinds of stuff mingled together.
20 “‘Alò, si yon nonm kouche nan zak seksyèl avèk yon fanm ki se yon esklav ki te pwomèt pou yon lòt gason, men ki pa t peye ranson li, ni pa t bay li libète l, li va pini. Malgre sa, yo p ap mete li a lanmò, paske li pa t lib.
And whoever lies carnally with a woman, who is a bondmaid, betrothed to a husband, and not at all redeemed, nor freedom given her, they shall be punished. They shall not be put to death, because she was not free.
21 Gason an va pote ofrann koupab li devan SENYÈ a nan pòtay tant asanble a; yon belye pou ofrann koupab la.
And he shall bring his trespass offering to Jehovah, to the door of the tent of meeting, even a ram for a trespass offering.
22 Prèt la va fè ekspiyasyon pou li avèk belye ofrann koupab la devan SENYÈ a pou peche ke li te fè a, e selon peche ke li te fè a, li va vin padone.
And the priest shall make atonement for him with the ram of the trespass offering before Jehovah for his sin which he has sinned. And the sin which he has sinned shall be forgiven him.
23 “‘Lè nou antre nan peyi sa a, e plante tout kalite bwa pou manje, alò, nou va kontwole premye fwi pa yo kòm entèdi. Pandan twazan, li va entèdi a nou menm. Li p ap pou manje.
And when ye shall come into the land, and shall have planted all manner of trees for food, then ye shall count the fruit of it as their uncircumcision. Three years they shall be as uncircumcised to you; it shall not be eaten.
24 Nan katriyèm ane a, tout fwi li yo va vin sen. Yo va vin yon ofrann lwanj bay SENYÈ a.
But in the fourth year all the fruit of it shall be holy, for giving praise to Jehovah.
25 Nan senkyèm ane a, nou gen pou manje nan fwi li, pou donn li kapab vin anpil pou nou menm. Mwen se SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an.
And in the fifth year ye shall eat of the fruit of it, that it may yield to you the increase of it. I am Jehovah your God.
26 “‘Nou pa pou manje anyen avèk san ki rete nan li. Nou pa pou pratike maji ni divinasyon zetwal ni predi evenman k ap vin rive.
Ye shall not eat anything with the blood. Neither shall ye use enchantments, nor practice augury.
27 “‘Nou pa pou koupe kwen cheve tèt nou, ni taye sou kote bab nou.
Ye shall not round the corners of your heads, nor shall thou mar the corners of thy beard.
28 “‘Nou pa pou koupe kò nou pou moun mouri yo, ni fè tatou sou kò nou: Mwen se SENYÈ a.
Ye shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor print any marks upon you. I am Jehovah.
29 “‘Pa degrade pwòp fi nou pou fè l vin yon pwostitiye, sòf ke peyi a menm ta tonbe nan pwostitisyon, e ranpli avèk tout kalite bagay lèd.
Do not profane thy daughter, to make her a harlot, lest the land fall to whoredom, and the land become full of wickedness.
30 “‘Nou va kenbe Saba Mwen yo, e nou va onore sanktyè Mwen an. Mwen se SENYÈ a.
Ye shall keep my sabbaths, and reverence my sanctuary. I am Jehovah.
31 “‘Pa vire bò kote moun ki fè kontak ak mò yo, ni ki chache move lespri yo. Pa chache yo pou nou pa vin degrade pa yo menm. Mwen se SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an.
Do not turn to those who have familiar spirits, nor to the wizards. Do not seek them out, to be defiled by them. I am Jehovah your God.
32 “‘Nou va leve devan moun cheve blanch yo. Nou va bay lonè a granmoun yo. Nou va gen lakrent pou Bondye nou an. Mwen se SENYÈ a.
Thou shall rise up before the hoary head, and honor the face of the old man, and thou shall fear thy God. I am Jehovah.
33 “‘Lè yon etranje rete avèk nou nan peyi nou, nou pa pou fè l tò.
And if a stranger sojourns with thee in your land, ye shall not do him wrong.
34 Etranje ki rete avèk nou an va, pou nou, tankou pwòp moun peyi nou. Nou va renmen li tankou tèt nou, paske nou te etranje nan peyi Égypte la. Mwen se SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an.
The stranger that sojourns with you shall be to you as the home-born among you, and thou shall love him as thyself, for ye were sojourners in the land of Egypt. I am Jehovah your God.
35 Nou pa pou fè move jijman, ni nan mezire longè, pwa, oubyen kapasite.
Ye shall do no unrighteousness in judgment, in measures of length, of weight, or of quantity.
36 Fòk balans nou yo jis, e pèz pwa nou yo jis; yon efa (22 lit) ki jis, e yon in (36 lit) ki jis. Mwen se SENYÈ nou an, ki te fè nou sòti nan peyi Égypte la.
Ye shall have just balances, just weights, a just ephah, and a just hin. I am Jehovah your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt.
37 “‘Se konsa nou va obsève tout règleman Mwen yo ak tout òdonans Mwen yo, e fè yo. Mwen se SENYÈ a.’”
And ye shall observe all my statutes, and all my ordinances, and do them. I am Jehovah.
