Levitik 1
1 Alò, SENYÈ a te rele Moïse, e Li te pale avèk li depi nan tant asanble a. Li te di:
While Moses/I was [standing near the entrance] to the Sacred Tent, Yahweh called to him/me from inside the tent. He said to Moses/me,
2 “Pale a fis Israël yo pou di yo: ‘Lè nenpòt moun nan nou pote yon ofrann bay SENYÈ a, nou va pote ofrann bèt ki sòti nan twoupo a, oswa nan bann mouton an.
“Tell this to the Israeli people: ‘When any of you brings an offering to Yahweh, bring one of your sheep or goats or cattle.
3 “‘Si ofrann li an se yon ofrann brile ki sòti nan twoupo a, li va ofri li; yon mal san defo. Li va ofri li nan pòtay tant asanble a, pou li kapab aksepte devan SENYÈ a.
‘If what you are offering is a bull that will be completely burned [on the altar], it must not have any defects. You must take it to the entrance to the Sacred Tent, in order that it will be acceptable to Yahweh.
4 Li va poze men li sou tèt ofrann brile a, e ofrann la va aksepte pou li, pou fè ekspiyasyon pou li.
You must lay your hands on the head of the bull. When you do that, Yahweh will accept [its death in your place] to forgive/pardon you for the sins that you have committed.
5 Li va touye jenn towo a devan SENYÈ a. Konsa, fis Aaron yo, ki se prèt yo, va ofri san an e flite li toutotou lotèl ki nan pòtay tant asanble a.
You must slaughter the bull in front of Yahweh. Then Aaron’s sons, who are priests, will bring the blood and sprinkle it against all sides of the altar near the entrance to the Sacred Tent.
6 Li va, answit, kòche ofrann brile a e koupe li an mòso.
You must remove the skin of the animal and cut the animal into pieces. You must wash the inner parts and the legs of the bull.
7 Fis Aaron yo, prèt la, va mete dife sou lotèl la e ranje bwa yo sou dife a.
Then Aaron’s sons will put wood on the altar and light a fire.
8 Alò fis Aaron yo, prèt yo, va ranje mòso yo, tèt la avèk grès ren an sou bwa ki sou lotèl la.
Then they will arrange the pieces, including the head and the fat, on the burning wood.
9 Men zantray li yo avèk janm li yo, moun nan va lave yo avèk dlo. Epi prèt la va brile li nèt sou lotèl la kòm yon ofrann brile, yon ofrann pa dife, yon bagay ki santi dous pou SENYÈ a.
Then one of the priests will completely burn all of it on the altar. And the aroma will be pleasing to Yahweh.
10 “‘Men si ofrann li an sòti nan bann bèt la, mouton oswa kabrit kòm yon ofrann brile, li va ofri li yon mal, san defo.
‘If you are offering a sheep or a goat, it must be a male without any defect.
11 Li va touye li sou kote nò lotèl la, devan SENYÈ a, epi fis Aaron yo, prèt yo, va flite san li toutotou lotèl la.
You must slaughter it in front of Yahweh, on the north side of the altar, [and drain all the blood into a bowl]. Then Aaron’s sons will sprinkle the blood against all sides of the altar.
12 Li va, answit, koupe li an mòso, avèk tèt li ak grès ren li. Prèt la va ranje yo sou bwa ki sou dife ki sou lotèl la.
You must cut the animal into pieces. You must wash the inner parts and the legs of the animal. Then the priests will arrange the pieces, including the head and the fat, on the burning wood.
13 Men zantray li yo avèk janm yo, moun nan va lave yo avèk dlo. Epi prèt la va ofri tout nèt, e ofri li nan lafimen sou lotèl la. Li se yon ofrann brile, yon ofrann pa dife, yon bagay ki santi dous pou SENYÈ a.
Then one of the priests will take all of it and completely burn all of it on the altar. And the aroma as it burns will be pleasing to Yahweh.
14 “‘Men si ofrann li an bay SENYÈ a se yon ofrann brile fèt ak zwazo, alò, li va pote ofrann li an ak toutrèl oswa jèn ti pijon.
‘If what you are offering to Yahweh is a bird, you must offer a dove or a young pigeon.
15 Prèt la va ofri li sou lotèl la, e tòde kou li pou ofri li nan lafimen sou lotèl la; konsa, san li va koule sou kote lotèl la.
The priest will take it to the altar and wring/twist off its head. Then he will burn the head on the altar. He will drain out the bird’s blood onto the side of the altar.
16 Li va osi retire fal li avèk plim li yo e voye li sou kote lès lotèl la, nan plas sann yo.
Then he will remove the bird’s (craw/food-grinding pouch) and what is inside it, and throw it on the east side of the altar, where the ashes are thrown.
17 Li va chire li pa zèl li, san fin separe l nèt. Konsa, prèt la va ofri li nan lafimen sou lotèl la, sou bwa ki sou dife a. Li se yon ofrann brile, yon ofrann pa dife yon bagay ki santi dous devan SENYÈ a.
Then he will grasp the bird’s wings and partially tear the bird open. Then he will burn it completely in the fire on the altar. And the aroma will be pleasing to Yahweh.’
