Levitik 5
1 “‘Alò, si yon moun peche lè l rele pou fè temwayaj tribinal kòn yon temwen, konsènan si li te wè oubyen otreman vin konnen yon bagay, si li pa pale sa, alò, li va pote koupabilite pa li.
[Yahweh also said to tell the people], “If [a judge] orders any of you to tell [in court] something that you have seen or something that you heard someone say, if you refuse to say what you know is true, you must (pay a penalty/be punished) [MTY] for refusing to tell what you know.
2 “‘Oubyen, si yon moun touche nenpòt bagay ki pa pwòp, kit se yon kadav bèt pa pwòp, kit se yon kadav bèf ki pa pwòp, kit se kadav yon desen bèt vivan ki pa pwòp, malgre ke sa ta kache de li pou li pa konnen, e li pa pwòp, alò li va koupab.
If you accidentally touch something which God considers impure [DOU], such as the carcass of a wild animal or the carcass of a bull or cow, or of an animal that scurries across the ground, you must (pay a penalty/be punished).
3 Oubyen, si li ta touche afè moun ki pa pwòp, nenpòt sa li ye ki fè l vin pa pwòp la, epi sa kache de li, e answit, li vin konn sa, li va koupab.
If you touch any human feces, even if you do not intend to do that, when you realize what you have done, you must (pay a penalty/be punished).
4 Oubyen, si yon moun sèmante san reflechi avèk bouch li, kit se pou fè mal, kit se pou fè byen, nan nenpòt afè ke yon nonm ta pale san reflechi avèk yon sèman, epi sa kache de li, e answit li vin konn sa, li va koupab nan youn nan sa yo.
If you carelessly make a solemn promise [to do something] that is good or that is bad, when you realize what you have done, you must (pay a penalty/be punished).
5 Se konsa li va ye lè li vin koupab nan youn nan sa yo, ke li va konfese nan sa ke li te fè peche a.
If you are guilty of committing any of those sins, you must confess what you have done.
6 Li va osi pote ofrann koupabilite li a bay SENYÈ a pou peche ke li te komèt la: yon femèl ki sòti nan bann bèt la, yon jenn mouton, oswa yon kabrit kòm yon ofrann peche. Konsa prèt la va fè ekspyasyon nan non li pou peche li a.
And for a penalty you must bring to Yahweh a female lamb or female goat, to be an offering for the sin that you have committed, and the priest will sacrifice it, and then you will no longer be guilty for your sin.
7 “‘Men si li pa gen mwayen pou bay yon jenn mouton oswa kabrit, alò li va pote bay SENYÈ a kòm ofrann koupabilite pou peche ke li te komèt la, de toutrèl oswa de jenn pijon, youn pou yon ofrann peche a, e lòt la, pou yon ofrann brile.
If you [are poor and] cannot afford to bring a lamb, you must bring to Yahweh two doves or two young pigeons. One will be an offering for your sin and one will be an offering that will be completely burned [on the altar].
8 Li va pote yo bay prèt la, ki va ofri, premyèman, sa ki pou ofrann peche a, e li va tranche tèt li pa devan kou a san ke li pa fin separe li nèt.
You must bring them to the priest. First he will offer one of them to be an offering for your sin. He will wring/twist its neck [to kill it], but he must not pull off its head completely.
9 Li va osi flite kèk nan san ofrann peche a sou kote lotèl la, e rès san an va koule degoute nan baz lotèl la. Li se yon ofrann peche.
Then he must sprinkle some of the blood against the side of the altar. The remaining blood must be drained out at the base of the altar. That will be an offering for your sin.
10 Dezyèm nan, li va, answit, prepare kòm yon ofrann brile selon òdonans lan. Epi prèt la va fè ekspiyasyon nan non li menm pou peche ke li te komèt la, e li va vin padone.
The priest will then do what I have commanded and offer the other bird to be completely burned [on the altar]. Then you will no longer be guilty for the sin you have committed, and Yahweh will forgive you.
11 “‘Men si mwayen li pa sifi pou de toutrèl oswa de jenn pijon yo, alò pou ofrann li pou peche ke li te komèt la, li va pote yon dizyèm efa farin fen pou ofrann peche a. Li p ap mete lwil sou li ni mete lansan sou li, paske se yon ofrann peche.
However, if you [are very poor and] cannot afford two doves or two young pigeons, you must bring to be an offering for your sin (2 pounds/1 kg.) of fine flour. You must not put olive oil or incense on it, because it is an offering for sin.
12 Li va pote li bay prèt la, e prèt la va pran men plen de li kòm yon pati komemoratif, pou ofri li nan lafimen sou lotèl la, avèk ofrann bay SENYÈ a pa dife. Li se yon ofrann peche.
You must take it to the priest. He will take a handful of it, to symbolize that the whole offering truly belongs to Yahweh, and burn it on the altar, on top of the other offerings.
13 Alò, prèt la va fè ekspiyasyon pou li konsènan peche ke li te komèt soti nan youn nan sila yo, e sa va padone li. Konsa, rès la va vin pou prèt la menm jan ak ofrann sereyal la.’”
And by doing that, the priest will enable you to no longer be guilty for any of the sins that you have committed, and you will be forgiven. The part of the offering that is not burned will belong to the priest, like was true for the offerings made from grain.”
14 Answit SENYÈ a te pale avèk Moïse e t ap di:
Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
15 “Si yon moun pa fidèl, e peche san movèz entansyon kont bagay ki sen pou SENYÈ a, alò li va pote ofrann koupabilite li devan SENYÈ a; yon belye san defo ki sòti nan bann bèt la, selon valè an ajan de sik, an valè de sik sanktiyè a kòm yon ofrann koupabilite.
“When you sin, without intending to, by not giving to Yahweh the things that you are required to give to him, you must pay a penalty by bringing to Yahweh a ram that has no defects. You must determine how much silver it is worth, by using the official standard in the temple. It will be an offering to cause you to no longer be guilty.
16 Li va peye pou peche ke li te fè kont bagay sen an, e li va mete sou li yon senkyèm pati anplis pou pote bay prèt la. Prèt la, alò va fè ekspiyasyon pou li avèk belye a ofrann koupabilite a, e Li va padone.
But you must also make restitution for what you failed to give to Yahweh, adding one-fifth of its value. You must give that to the priest. He will offer the ram as a sacrifice for the sin that you have committed, and cause you to no longer be guilty; and you will be forgiven.
17 “Alò, si yon moun peche e fè nenpòt nan bagay ke SENYÈ a te kòmande pou pa fè yo, malgre li pa t konnen sa, li toujou koupab e li va pote koupabilite li.
If you sin by doing something that is forbidden by any of Yahweh’s commands, even if you do not know that you have disobeyed one of my commands, you are guilty and must pay a penalty [to me].
18 Li dwe, alò, pote bay prèt la yon belye san defo ki sòti nan bann bèt la, selon sa ou estime, pou yon ofrann koupabilite. Alò, prèt la va fè ekspiyasyon pou li konsènan tò li ladann li te fè peche san movèz entansyon, e pa t konnen sa a, e li va padone.
[When you realize what you have done], you must bring a ram to the Supreme Priest to be an offering in order that you will no longer be guilty. You must bring one that has no defects. He will offer the ram to be a sacrifice to me, and as a result you will no longer be guilty for the sin that you have committed, and you will be forgiven.
19 Li se yon ofrann koupabilite. Sètènman, li koupab devan SENYÈ a.”
It is an offering to cause you to no longer be guilty for sinning against me.”
