Levitik 22
1 Alò SENYÈ a te pale avèk Moïse. Li te di:
The Lord told Moses,
2 Di Aaron avèk fis li yo pou separe yo de bagay sen ki pou fis Israël yo, ke yo dedye kon sen de Mwen yo, epi pou yo pa derespekte non sen Mwen an. Mwen se SENYÈ a.
“Tell Aaron and his sons to be dedicated when dealing with the holy offerings that the Israelites have dedicated to me, so that they don't dishonor my holy character. I am the Lord.
3 “Di yo ke: ‘Si nenpòt moun pami tout jenerasyon nou yo vin pwoche de bagay sen yo, ke fis Israël yo te dedye bay SENYÈ a pandan li pa pwòp, moun sa a va koupe retire devan M. Mwen se SENYÈ a.
Tell them: These rules apply for all future generations. If any of your descendants in an unclean state comes close to the holy offerings that the Israelites dedicate to honor the Lord, that person must be expelled from my presence. I am the Lord.
4 “‘P ap gen yon nonm pami desandan Aaron yo ki gen lalèp oswa yon ekoulman ki kapab manje nan bagay sen yo jiskaske li vin pwòp. Konsa, si youn vin touche nenpòt bagay ki fèt pa pwòp pa yon moun mouri, oswa si yon nonm vin fè yon ekoulman,
If one of Aaron's descendants has a skin disease or a discharge, he is not allowed to eat the holy offerings until he is clean. Anyone who touches anything made unclean by a dead body or by a man who has had a release of semen,
5 oswa, si yon mesye vin touche nenpòt nan bèt ki trennen atè, oswa nenpòt moun ki fè l vin pa pwòp, nenpòt sa ki fè l pa pwòp;
or anyone who touches an unclean animal or an unclean person, (whatever the uncleanness is),
6 ke yon moun ki touche nenpòt kalite bagay konsa va pa pwòp jis rive nan aswè, e li p ap kab patisipe nan manje nan bagay sen yo sof ke li benyen kò l nan dlo.
anyone who touches anything like this will remain unclean until evening. He is not allowed to eat from the holy offerings unless he has washed himself with water.
7 Men lè solèy la kouche, li va pwòp. Konsa, apre, li ka manje nan bagay sen yo, paske se manje li.
At sunset he will become clean, and then he is allowed to eat from the holy offerings because they provide his food.
8 Li pa pou manje yon bèt ki mouri oswa ki chire pa lòt bèt, pou fè l vin pa pwòp.
He must not eat anything that's died, or killed by wild animals, because that would make him unclean. I am the Lord.
9 “‘Konsa, yo va kenbe lòd Mwen, pou yo pa pote peche akoz li, e mouri konsa si yo souye li. Mwen se SENYÈ ki fè yo sen an.
The priests must do as I demand, so that they don't become guilty and die because they have not done so, treating my requirements with contempt. I am the Lord who makes them holy.
10 “‘Okenn etranje pa pou manje kado sen an. Yon vwayajè k ap rete ak prèt la, oswa yon ouvriye pa pou manje nan kado sen an.
Anyone who isn't part of a priest's family is not allowed eat the holy offerings. This also applies to a priest's guest or his paid worker.
11 Men si yon prèt achte yon esklav kòm pwòp byen pa li, avèk pwòp lajan pa li, sila a kapab manje nan li, e sila ki te ne nan kay li yo kapab manje manje li.
However, if a priest uses his own money to buy a slave, or if a slave is born in the priest's household, then that slave is allowed to eat his food.
12 Si fi a yon prèt vin marye avèk yon moun ki pa prèt, li pa pou manje nan kado ofrann yo.
If the priest's daughter gets married to a man who isn't a priest, she is not allowed to eat the holy offerings.
13 Men si fi a yon prèt vin vèv, oswa divòse, e pa gen pitit, si li vin retounen lakay papa li, tankou lè l te jèn, li va manje nan manje papa li; men moun deyò p ap kab manje li.
But if a priest's daughter without children is widowed or divorced and goes back to her father's house, she is allowed to eat her father's food as she did when she was growing up. But no one outside the priest's family can eat it.
14 “‘Men si yon nonm manje yon kado sen san konnen, alò, li va mete sou fòs li yon senkyèm anplis valè li, e li va bay kado sen an bay prèt la.
Anyone who eats a holy offering by mistake must pay compensation by adding a fifth to its value, and give it all to the priest.
15 Yo pa pou degrade kado sen ki pou fis Israël yo, ke yo ofri bay SENYÈ a,
The priests must not make the holy offerings the Israelites present to the Lord unclean
16 epi konsa, fè yo pote pinisyon pou koupabilite akoz manje nan kado sen pa yo; paske Mwen se SENYÈ ki fè yo sen an.’”
by allowing the people to eat them and in so doing take upon themselves the punishment for guilt. For I am the Lord who makes them holy.”
17 Alò SENYÈ a te pale a Moïse. Li te di:
The Lord told Moses,
18 “Pale avèk Aaron, ak fis li yo, epi tout fis Israël yo. Di yo: ‘Nenpòt moun nan kay Israël la oswa pami etranje yo nan Israël ki prezante ofrann li, sof ke se youn nan ofrann sèman yo oswa ofrann bòn volonte yo, ke yo prezante bay SENYÈ a kòm yon ofrann brile—
“Tell Aaron, his sons and all the Israelites: If you or foreigner living with you wants to make a gift as a burnt offering to the Lord, whether it's to fulfill a promise or as a freewill offering, this is what you are to do.
19 pou nou ta aksepte li—li oblije ke se yon mal san defo ki sòti nan bèf, mouton, oswa kabrit.
If it is to be accepted on your behalf you must offer a male without defects from the herds of cattle, sheep, or goats.
20 Nenpòt bèt ki gen defo, nou pa pou ofri li, paske li p ap akseptab pou nou.
Don't present anything with a defect because it won't be accepted on your behalf.
21 Lè yon moun ofri yon sakrifis lapè bay SENYÈ a pou ranpli yon ve espesifik, oswa yon ofrann bòn volonte ki sòti nan bann mouton oswa nan twoupo, fòk li bon nèt pou l kapab aksepte. Li pa pou gen defo menm nan li.
If you want to present a peace offering to the Lord from the herd or flock to fulfill a promise or as a freewill offering, in order to be acceptable the animal must be perfect, completely without defects.
22 Sila ki avèg yo, ki gen zo kase, oswa donmaje yo, sila ki gen maleng ekoulman, ekzema, oswa kal yo, nou pa pou ofri yo bay SENYÈ a, ni fè yon ofrann pa dife sou lotèl bay SENYÈ a.
Don't present to the Lord an animal that is blind, injured, or damaged in some way, or has warts, skin sores, or scabs. Don't place any animal that has these on the altar as a food offering to the Lord.
23 Pou yon bèf, oswa yon jenn ti mouton ki gen youn nan manm li ki pi gwo oswa pi piti ke lòt yo, nou kapab prezante li kòm yon ofrann bòn volonte, men kòm yon ofrann ve, li p ap aksepte.
However, you can present a freewill offering of a bull or sheep that has a leg that is too long or too short, but not if it is a sacrifice to fulfill a promise.
24 Osi, nenpòt nan yo avèk boul grenn li brize oswa kraze, chire oswa koupe, nou pa pou ofri li bay SENYÈ a, ni fè sakrifis avèk li nan peyi nou an.
Don't present to the Lord an animal with testicles that are accidentally or deliberately damaged. You are not allowed to sacrifice any of these damaged animals in your land.
25 Ni nou p ap aksepte anyen ki konsa nan men a yon etranje kòm yon ofrann manje pou Bondye nou an, paske yo konwonpi. Yo gen defo. Yo pa pou aksepte pou nou.’”
Nor are you allowed to accept such animals from a foreigner to be damaged and defective.”
26 Konsa, SENYÈ a te pale a Moïse e te di:
The Lord told Moses,
27 “Lè yon bèf oswa yon mouton, oswa yon kabrit vin fèt, li va rete pandan sèt jou avèk manman li. Men depi nan uityèm jou a, li va vin aksepte kòm yon sakrifis pou yon ofrann pa dife bay SENYÈ a.
“When a bull, a sheep, or a goat is born, it must stay with its mother for seven days. After eight days it can be accepted as a food offering to the Lord.
28 Menm si se yon bèf, oswa yon mouton, nou pa pou touye li ansanm avèk pitit li nan yon sèl jou.
However, don't kill a bull or a sheep and its young on the same day.
29 “Lè nou ofri yon sakrifis pou remèsiman bay SENYÈ a, nou va fè sakrifis la yon jan pou l aksepte.
When you present a thank offering to the Lord, make sure to do so in a way that it will be accepted on your behalf.
30 Li va manje nan menm jou a, nou pa pou kite anyen de li pou rive jis nan maten. Mwen se SENYÈ a.
It has to be eaten on the same day. Don't leave any of it until morning. I am the Lord.
31 “Konsa nou va kenbe kòmandman Mwen yo, e fè yo. Mwen se SENYÈ a.
Keep my rules and put them into practice. I am the Lord.
32 Nou pa pou degrade non sen Mwen an, men Mwen va sen pami fis Israël yo. Mwen se SENYÈ ki fè nou sen an,
Don't disgrace my holy character. I must be accepted as holy by you. I am the Lord who makes you holy.
33 ki te fè nou sòti nan peyi Égypte la, pou vin Bondye nou. Mwen se SENYÈ a.”
I am the one who led you out of Egypt to be your God. I am the Lord.”
