Levitik 20
1 SENYÈ a te pale avèk Moïse e te di:
And Yahweh spake unto 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.
Unto the sons of Israel, therefore shalt thou say, What man soever, there may be of the sons of Israel, or of the sojourners that sojourn in Israel, that giveth of his seed unto Molech, he shall, surely be put to death, —the people of 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.
I, also, will set my face against that man, and will cut him off out of the midst of his people, —because of his seed, hath he given unto Molech, seeing that he hath made unclean my sanctuary, even to the extent of profaning my holy name.
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,
But, if the people of the land, do even hide, their eyes from that man, when he giveth of his seed unto Molech, —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 myself, set my face against that man, and against his family, —and will cut him off, and all that follow unchastely after him—in going unchastely after Molech—out of the midst of 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.
The person also that turneth unto mediums and unto oracles, in going unchastely after them, then will I set my face against that person, and will cut him off out of the midst of his people.
7 “‘Konsa, nou va konsakre nou menm e nou va rete sen, paske Mwen se SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an.
Therefore shall ye hallow yourselves and be holy, —Because I—Yahweh, am your God.
8 “‘Nou va kenbe règleman Mwen yo, e nou va swiv yo. Mwen se SENYÈ a ki fè nou sen an.
Therefore shall ye observe my statutes, and do them, —I—Yahweh, am he that is hallowing 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.
When, any man whatsoever, curseth his father or his mother, he shall surely be put to death, —his father or his mother, hath he cursed, his blood, shall be upon himself.
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.
And, any man, who committeth adultery with the wife of any other man, he that committeth adultery with the wife of his neighbour shall surely be put to 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 any man who lieth with his father’s wife, the shame of his father, hath uncovered, —they both shall, surely be put to death—their blood shall be upon themselves.
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 any man who lieth with his daughter-in-law, they both shall, surely be put to death, confusion, have they wrought—their blood shall be upon themselves.
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 any man who lieth with mankind as with womankind, an abomination, have both of them wrought, —they shall, surely be put to death, —their blood, shall be upon themselves.
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.
And, any man, who taketh a woman and her mother, wickedness, it is, —in fire, shall both he and they be consumed, that wickedness be not in your midst.
15 “‘Si gen yon mesye ki kouche avèk yon bèt, li va vrèman vin mete a lanmò. Nou va anplis touye bèt la.
And, any man, who hath carnal knowledge of a beast, shall, surely be put to death, —and, the beast, shall ye slay.
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, a woman, who approacheth unto any beast, to couch down thereto, then shalt thou slay the woman and the beast, —they shall surely be put to death, —their blood, shall be upon themselves.
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.
And, any man, who taketh his sister—his father’s daughter or his mother’s daughter, and vieweth her shame, and, she, vieweth his shame, a disgrace, it is, —they shall therefore be cut off in the sight of the sons of their people, —the shame of his sister, hath he uncovered—his iniquity, shall he bear.
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, any man, who lieth with a woman having her sickness, and uncovereth her shame, her fountain, hath he exposed, she, also hath uncovered her fountain of blood, —they shall therefore both be cut off out of the midst of their people.
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 the shame of thy mother’s sister, or of thy father’s sister, shalt thou not uncover, —for his near of kin, hath he exposed—their iniquity, shall they bear.
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.
And, any man, who lieth with his uncle’s wife, the shame of his uncle, hath he uncovered, —their sin, shall they bear—childless, shall they die.
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.
And, any man, who taketh his brother’s wife, impurity, it is, —the shame of his brother, hath he uncovered—childless, shall they remain.
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.
Therefore shall ye observe all my statutes and all my regulations, and do them, —So shall the land whereinto I am bringing you to dwell therein, not vomit you forth;
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.
So shall ye not walk in the—statutes of the nations, which I am casting out from before you, —For all these things, had they done, Therefore I 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 said unto you—Ye, shall possess their soil, Yea, I myself, will give it you to possess it, A land flowing with milk and honey, —I—Yahweh, am your God, who have distinguished you from the peoples;
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.
Therefore shall ye make a distinction—Between the clean beasts, and the unclean, —And between the unclean birds and the clean, —So shall ye not make your persons abominable with beast, or with bird or with anything which creepeth upon the ground, which I have distinguished for you, as unclean.
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.
Therefore shall ye be unto me, holy persons, for, holy, am, I—Yahweh, —Therefore have I distinguished you from the peoples, that ye may 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 touching man or woman, when there shall be in them a familiar spirit, or the spirit of an oracle, they shall, surely be put to death, —with stones, shall they be stoned—their blood, shall be upon themselves.
