Levitik 22
1 Alò SENYÈ a te pale avèk Moïse. Li te di:
Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
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 greatly respect the sacred offerings that the Israeli people bring to me; by doing that you will respect me [MTY], Yahweh.
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 that for all future time, if any of their descendants comes near to the sacred offerings that the Israeli people dedicate to me while he is unfit to work for me, that person will no longer be allowed to work for me. I, Yahweh, [am commanding this].
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 any descendant of Aaron has a contagious skin disease or a discharge from his sexual organs, he is not allowed to eat any of the sacred offerings until he is cured. He will also be unfit for his work if he touches anything which has become unacceptable to me because it has touched a corpse, or if he touches anyone who as an emission 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 if he touches anything that crawls on the ground, or if he touches any person who causes him to be unfit for his work.
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.
Any priest who touches such things must bathe, and he must not touch anyone else until that evening.
7 Men lè solèy la kouche, li va pwòp. Konsa, apre, li ka manje nan bagay sen yo, paske se manje li.
After the sun sets, he will be permitted to eat some of the sacred offerings that are for him to eat.
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 is found dead or that has been killed by wild animals, because if he did that, he would be unfit to work for me. I, Yahweh [am commanding those things].
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 obey my commandments in order that they will not become guilty and die as a result of (despising/not obeying) them.
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 is not a member of a priest’s family is not permitted to eat any of a sacred offering, and no one who is visiting the priest or whom the priest has hired is permitted to eat it.
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.
But if a priest buys a slave, or if a slave is born in his house, that slave is permitted to eat such food.
12 Si fi a yon prèt vin marye avèk yon moun ki pa prèt, li pa pou manje nan kado ofrann yo.
If a priest’s daughter marries a man who is not a priest, she no longer is permitted to eat the sacred food.
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 who has no children becomes a widow or becomes divorced, if she returns to her father’s house to live there like she did when she was young, she may eat the same food that her father eats. But no other person is permitted to eat any of 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.
“If anyone who is not permitted to eat a sacred offering eats it without realizing that it is sacred, he must pay the priest for the offering, and pay him an extra one-fifth of its value.
15 Yo pa pou degrade kado sen ki pou fis Israël yo, ke yo ofri bay SENYÈ a,
When the priests bring offerings to me, the sacred offerings that the Israeli people bring to them, they must not treat those offerings as though they are not sacred
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 those who are not priests to eat any of those offerings. If they did that, they would become guilty and must make a payment. I am Yahweh, the one who causes those offerings to be sacred.”
17 Alò SENYÈ a te pale a Moïse. Li te di:
Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
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—
“Speak to Aaron and his sons and to all the Israeli people and tell them that I command this: ‘If any of you Israelis or foreigners who live in Israel brings to me an animal that will be completely burned [on the altar], either as a result of a solemn promise that you made to me or to be an offering that is given voluntarily,
19 pou nou ta aksepte li—li oblije ke se yon mal san defo ki sòti nan bèf, mouton, oswa kabrit.
it must be an animal that has no defects, in order that it will be accepted by me.
20 Nenpòt bèt ki gen defo, nou pa pou ofri li, paske li p ap akseptab pou nou.
Do not bring any animals that have defects, because I will not accept them as an offering from you.
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.
[Similarly], when someone brings from his cattle or sheep or goats an offering to maintain fellowship with me, either to fulfill a promise that he made to me or to be a voluntary offering, in order that I will accept it, it must have no defects [DOU] or blemishes.
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.
Do not offer to me animals that are blind or injured or maimed/crippled, or any animal that has warts or a festering sore [DOU].
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.
You may present to me to be a voluntary offering an ox or a sheep that is injured or stunted, but it will not be accepted to fulfill a promise made to me.
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.
You must not offer to me animals whose testicles are bruised or crushed or torn or cut. You must not injure the testicles of any animal 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.’”
and you must not accept such animals that are sold/given to you by a foreigner. You must not offer them to me as a sacrifice for me. Such animals will not be accepted by me, because they are deformed or have defects.’”
26 Konsa, SENYÈ a te pale a Moïse e te di:
Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
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 calf or lamb or goat is born, it must remain with its mother for seven days. After that, it will be acceptable as an offering to me that will be burned.
28 Menm si se yon bèf, oswa yon mouton, nou pa pou touye li ansanm avèk pitit li nan yon sèl jou.
Do not slaughter a cow or a sheep and its baby 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.
“Then you sacrifice an animal to thank [me for what I have done], sacrifice it in a way that is acceptable to me.
30 Li va manje nan menm jou a, nou pa pou kite anyen de li pou rive jis nan maten. Mwen se SENYÈ a.
The meat must be eaten on that day; do not leave any of it until the next morning. I, Yahweh, [am the one who am commanding this].
31 “Konsa nou va kenbe kòmandman Mwen yo, e fè yo. Mwen se SENYÈ a.
“Obey all my commands [DOU]. I, Yahweh, [am commanding them];
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,
do not dishonor me [MTY] [by disobeying them]. You Israeli people must acknowledge that I, Yahweh, am holy, and I am the one who causes you to be holy.
33 ki te fè nou sòti nan peyi Égypte la, pou vin Bondye nou. Mwen se SENYÈ a.”
And I am the one who brought you out of Egypt in order to show that that I, Yahweh, am [and will always be] your God.”
