Levitik 21
1 Alò SENYÈ a te pale avèk Moïse. Li te di: “Pale avèk prèt yo, fis Aaron yo. Di yo konsa: ‘Pèsòn pa pou konwonpi kò l avèk yon moun mouri pami pèp li a,
And the Lord said unto Moses, Speak unto the priests the sons of Aaron, and say unto them, None [of them] shall defile himself on the dead, among his people;
2 sof pou fanmi ki pi prè li yo, tankou manman l, papa l, fis li, fi li ak frè li,
But on his kin, that is near unto him, [that is, ] on his mother, and on his father, and on his son, and on his daughter, and on his brother,
3 ak pou sè vyèj li, ki prè li, ki pa t gen mari. Pou sila a, li kapab konwonpi kò l.
And on his sister that is a virgin, that is nigh unto him, who hath had no husband: on her may he defile himself.
4 Li pa pou konwonpi kò l, akoz li se yon gwo chèf pami pèp li a, e konsa, pou vin degrade tèt li.
The chief man among his people shall not defile himself, to be profaned thereby.
5 “‘Yo pa pou fè tèt yo kale, ni taye bab yo, ni fè okenn blese nan chè yo.
They shall not make any baldness upon their head, and the corner of their beard shall they not shave off, and in their flesh shall they not make any incision.
6 Yo va rete sen a Bondye pa yo a, e yo p ap konwonpi non Bondye pa yo a, paske se yo ki prezante ofrann dife bay SENYÈ a, manje pou Bondye pa yo a. Alò, fòk yo sen.
Holy shall they be unto their God, and they shall not profane the name of their God; for the fire-offerings of the Lord, the bread of their God, do they offer, they shall therefore be holy.
7 “‘Yo pa pou pran yon fanm ki degrade kòm pwostitiye, ni yo pa pou pran yon fanm ki divòse avèk mari li; paske li sen a Bondye pa li a.
A woman that is a harlot, or one profaned, shall they not take; and a woman put away from her husband shall they not take; for holy is he unto his God.
8 Konsa, nou va konsakre li, paske li ofri ou manje Bondye nou an. Li va sen pou nou, paske Mwen, SENYÈ ki sanktifye nou an, Mwen sen.
And thou shalt sanctify him; for the bread of thy God doth he offer: holy shall he be unto thee; for I the Lord, who sanctify you, am holy.
9 “‘Fi a nenpòt prèt, si li degrade tèt li kòm pwostitiye, li degrade papa li. Li va brile nan dife.
And if the daughter of any priest profane herself by committing incest, her father doth she profane: with fire shall she be burnt.
10 “‘Prèt ki se wo prèt pami frè li yo, sou tèt sila lwil onksyon an te vide a, e sila ki te konsakre pou abiye avèk vètman yo, pa pou dekouvri tèt li, ni chire rad li.
And the priest that is highest among his brethren, upon whose head the anointing oil hath been poured, and who hath been consecrated to put on the garments, shall not let the hair of his head grow long, and his garments shall he not rend;
11 Li pa pou pwoche okenn moun mouri, ni konwonpi tèt li menm si se pou papa li oswa manman li.
Neither shall he go in to any dead body; even on his father, and on his mother shall he not defile himself.
12 Li pa pou sòti nan sanktyè a, ni konwonpi sanktyè Bondye li a, paske konsekrasyon lwil sen an sou li. Mwen se SENYÈ a.
And out of the sanctuary shall he not go, that he may not profane the sanctuary of his God; for the crown of the anointing oil of his God is upon him: I am the Lord.
13 “‘Li va pran yon madanm ki vyèj.
And he shall take a wife in her virgin state.
14 Yon vèv, oswa yon fanm divòse, oswa youn ki degrade kòm pwostitiye, sa yo, li pa kapab pran yo. Men okontrè, fòk li marye ak yon vyèj pami pwòp pèp pa li a.
A widow, and a divorced woman, and one profaned, [and] a harlot, these shall he not take; but a virgin of his own people shall he take for wife;
15 Li pa pou degrade desandan li yo pami pwòp pèp li a, paske Mwen se SENYÈ ki fè li sen an.’”
So that he may not profane his seed among his people; for I, the Lord, do sanctify him.
16 Alò SENYÈ a te pale avèk Moïse. Li te di:
And the Lord spoke unto Moses, saying,
17 “Pale avèk Aaron. Di l: ‘Okenn moun pami nou ki gen yon defo fizik p ap pwoche pou ofri manje bay Bondye li a.
Speak unto Aaron, saying, Whosoever of thy seed in their generations it be on whom there is any blemish, shall not approach to offer the bread of his God.
18 Paske nenpòt moun ki gen yon defo p ap pwoche: yon nonm avèg, yon bwate, yon nonm ki gen figi defòme, oswa okenn manm kò defòme,
For whatsoever man it be on whom there is a blemish, shall not approach: a blind, or a lame man, or one that hath a flattened nose, or a man one of whose limbs is too long,
19 yon nonm pye kase oswa men kase,
Or a man who hath a broken foot, or a broken hand,
20 yon moun ki gen boul nan do oswa kata, oubyen yon moun ki gen defo nan zye li, oswa ekzema nan po, kal oswa boul grenn ki donmaje.
Or a crookbacked, or a dwarf, or one that hath a blemish in his eye, or the itch, or the scurvy, or the testicles broken.
21 Okenn moun nan ras Aaron, prèt ki gen defo pa pou pwoche pou fè ofrann SENYÈ a pa dife. Akoz li gen yon defo, li pa pou pwoche pou ofri pen ki pou Bondye li a.
Every man on whom there is a blemish, of the seed of Aaron the priest, shall not come nigh to offer the fire-offerings of the Lord: there is a blemish on him; he shall not come nigh to offer the bread of his God.
22 Li kapab manje pen Bondye li a, ni sa ki sen pase tout bagay yo, avèk sa ki sen an.
The brewed of his God, both of the most holy, and of the holy things he may eat.
23 Se sèlman, li pa pou antre anndan vwal la, ni toupre lotèl la akoz ke li gen yon defo, pou li pa konwonpi sanktyè Mwen yo. Paske Mwen se SENYÈ ki fè yo sen an.’”
Only unto the vail, and unto the altar shall he not come nigh, because there is a blemish on him; that he profane not my holy things; for I the Lord do sanctify them.
24 Alò, Moïse te pale avèk Aaron, a fis li yo, e a tout fis Israël yo.
And Moses spoke thus unto Aaron, and to his sons, and unto all the children of Israel.
