Levitik 20
1 SENYÈ a te pale avèk Moïse e te di:
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
2 “Ou va osi di a fis Israël yo: ‘Nenpòt moun nan fis Israël yo, oswa nan etranje ki rete an Israël yo ki bay nenpòt nan pitit li yo a Moloc, li va vrèman vin mete a lanmò. Pèp peyi a va lapide moun sa a avèk kout wòch.
You shall also say to the children of Israel, If [there shall be] any of the children of Israel, or of those who have become proselytes in Israel, who shall give of his seed to Moloch, let him be surely put to death; the nation upon the land shall stone him with stones.
3 Mwen va osi mete figi Mwen kont moun sa a. Mwen va koupe retire li de pèp li a, akoz li te bay nan pitit li bay Moloc pou konwonpi sanktyè Mwen an, e degrade non sen Mwen an.
And I will set my face against that man, and will cut him off from his people, because he has given of his seed to Moloch, to defile my sanctuary, and profane the name of them that are consecrated to me.
4 Men si moun nan peyi a ta janm tolere moun sa a lè li bay nan pitit li yo bay Moloc, e pa mete l a lanmò,
And if the natives of the land should in anyway overlook that man in giving of his seed to Moloch, so as not to put him to death;
5 alò, Mwen menm va mete figi Mwen kont moun sila a ak kont fanmi li, e Mwen va koupe retire de pèp li a; non sèlman li menm, men tout sila ki jwe pwostitiye dèyè li yo, lè yo jwe pwostitiye dèyè Moloc.
then will I set my face against that man and his family, and I will destroy him, and all who have been of one mind with him, so that he should go a whoring to the princes, from their people.
6 “‘Epi pou moun ki vire vè moun k ap fè kontak ak mò yo, ki swiv lespri dyab yo, pou yo jwe pwostitiye avèk yo, Mwen va osi mete figi Mwen kont moun sa a e Mwen va koupe retire li de pèp li a.
And the soul that shall follow those who have in them divining spirits, or enchanters, so as to go a whoring after them; I will set my face against that soul, and will destroy it from amongst its people.
7 “‘Konsa, nou va konsakre nou menm e nou va rete sen, paske Mwen se SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an.
And you shall be holy, for I the Lord your God [am] holy.
8 “‘Nou va kenbe règleman Mwen yo, e nou va swiv yo. Mwen se SENYÈ a ki fè nou sen an.
And you shall observe my ordinances, and do them: I [am] the Lord that sanctifies you.
9 “‘Si yon moun anmède papa li oswa manman li, li va vrèman vin mete a lanmò. Li te anmède papa li oswa manman li. Koupabilite san li rete sou li.
Every man who shall speak evil of his father or of his mother, let him die the death; has he spoken evil of his father or his mother? he shall be guilty.
10 “‘Si yon mesye fè adiltè avèk madanm a yon lòt, menm sila ki fè adiltè avèk madanm zanmi li an, adiltè la avèk fanm adiltè la va vrèman vin mete a lanmò.
Whatever man shall commit adultery with the wife of a man, or whoever shall commit adultery with the wife of his neighbour, let them die the death, the adulterer and the adulteress.
11 “‘Si yon nonm vin kouche avèk madanm a papa li, li te dekouvri nidite a papa li. Yo tou de va vin mete a lanmò. Koupabilite san yo rete sou yo.
And if any one should lie with his father's wife, he has uncovered his father's nakedness: let them both die the death, they are guilty.
12 “‘Si gen yon nonm ki kouche avèk bèlfi li, tou de va vin mete a lanmò. Yo te fè ensès; koupabilite san an sou yo.
And if any one should lie with his daughter-in-law, let them both be put to death; for they have wrought impiety, they are guilty.
13 “‘Si gen yon gason ki kouche avèk yon lòt gason, menm jan ke li ta kouche avèk yon fanm, tou de te fè yon zak abominab. Yo va vrèman vin mete a lanmò. Koupabilite san yo sou yo.
And whoever shall lie with a male as with a woman, they have both wrought abomination; let them die the death, they are guilty.
14 “‘Si gen yon mesye ki marye avèk yon fanm ansanm ak manman li, sa se konwonpi. Yo tout va brile avèk dife pou mechanste pa rete nan mitan nou.
Whosoever shall take a woman and her mother, it is iniquity: they shall burn him and them with fire; so there shall not be iniquity amongst you.
15 “‘Si gen yon mesye ki kouche avèk yon bèt, li va vrèman vin mete a lanmò. Nou va anplis touye bèt la.
And whoever shall lie with a beast, let him die the death; and you shall kill the beast.
16 “‘Si gen yon fanm ki vin pwoche yon bèt pou kouche avèk li, nou va touye fanm nan ansanm ak bèt la. Yo va vrèman vin mete a lanmò. Koupabilite san an sou yo.
And whatever woman shall approach any beast, so as to have connexion with it, you shall kill the woman and the beast: let them die the death, they are guilty.
17 “‘Si yon mesye pran sè li, oswa fi a papa li, oswa fi a manman li, pou l wè nidite li, epi li wè nidite li, sa se yon gwo wont. Yo va koupe retire devan zye a fis pèp Israël la. Li te dekouvri nidite sè li. Li pote koupabilite pa l.
Whosoever shall take his sister by his father or by his mother, and shall see her nakedness, and she see his nakedness, it is a reproach: they shall be destroyed before the children of their family; he has uncovered his sister's nakedness, they shall bear their sin.
18 “‘Si gen yon mesye ki kouche avèk yon fanm sou règ li e dekouvri nidite li, li te vin dekouvri flèv li, e li te fè flèv san li vin parèt. Pou sa, tou de va koupe retire de pèp pa yo a.
And whatever man shall lie with a woman that is set apart [for a flux], and shall uncover her nakedness, he has uncovered her fountain, and she has uncovered the flux of her blood: they shall both be destroyed from amongst their generation.
19 “‘Nou pa pou dekouvri nidite sè manman nou, ni sè papa nou, paske yon nonm konsa te fè nidite a fanmi de san li vin parèt. Yo va pote koupabilite yo.
And you shall not uncover the nakedness of your father's sister, or of the sister of your mother; for that man has uncovered the nakedness of one near akin: they shall bear their iniquity.
20 “‘Si gen yon mesye ki kouche avèk madanm tonton li, li te dekouvri nidite tonton li. Yo va pote peche yo. Yo va mouri san fè pitit.
Whosoever shall lie with his near kinswoman, has uncovered the nakedness of one near akin to him: they shall die childless.
21 “‘Si gen yon mesye ki pran madanm a frè li, sa se abominab. Li te dekouvri nidite a frè li. Yo p ap janm fè pitit.
Whoever shall take his brother's wife, it is uncleanness; he has uncovered his brother's nakedness; they shall die childless.
22 “‘Konsa, nou gen pou kenbe tout règleman ak tout òdonans Mwen yo e fè yo, pou peyi kote M ap mennen nou pou viv la, pa krache mete nou deyò.
And keep you all my ordinances, and my judgements; and you shall do them, and the land shall not be aggrieved with you, into which I bring you to dwell upon it.
23 Anplis, nou pa pou swiv koutim nasyon sa yo ke Mwen va pouse fè sòti devan nou yo, paske yo te fè tout bagay sa yo, e konsa, Mwen te vin rayi yo.
And walk you not in the customs of the nations which I drive out from before you; for they have done all these things, and I have abhorred them:
24 Konsa Mwen te di nou: “Nou dwe posede peyi pa yo a, e Mwen menm va bannou li pou posesyon, yon peyi k ap koule lèt ak siwo myèl.” Mwen se SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, ki te mete nou apa de lòt pèp yo.
and I said to you, You shall inherit their land, and I will give it to you for a possession, [even] a land flowing with milk and honey: I [am] the Lord your God, who have separated you from all people.
25 “‘Se konsa ke nou gen pou distinge antre bèt ki pwòp ak bèt ki pa pwòp, e antre zwazo ki pa pwòp ak sa ki pwòp la. Nou pa pou fè tèt nou vin abominab ni pa bèt, ni pa zwazo, ni pa sa ki trennen atè reptil ke Mwen te separe pou nou kòm pa pwòp.
And you shall make a distinction between the clean and the unclean cattle, and between clean and unclean birds; and you shall not defile your souls with cattle, or with birds, or with any creeping things of the earth, which I have separated for you by reason of uncleanness.
26 Se konsa, nou va sen pou Mwen, paske Mwen, SENYÈ a, Mwen sen. Mwen te mete nou apa de lòt pèp yo pou nou kapab pa Mwen.
And you shall be holy to me; because I the Lord your God [am] holy, who separated you from all nations, to be mine.
27 “‘Alò, yon nonm oswa yon fanm ki kontakte mò yo, oswa lespri yo, yo va anverite vin mete a lanmò. Yo va vin lapide avèk kout wòch. Koupabilite san rete sou yo.’”
And [as for] a man or woman whoever of them shall have in them a divining spirit, or be an enchanter, let them both die the death: you shall stone them with stones, they are guilty.
