Deuteronomy 25
1 If there is an argument between men and they go to law with one another, let the judges give their decision for the upright, and against the wrongdoer.
Lè yon kont pete nan mitan nou, moun ki gen kont yo va ale lajistis pou yo jije ka a. Y'a bay sa ki gen rezon an rezon, sa ki gen tò a tò.
2 And if the wrongdoer is to undergo punishment by whipping, the judge will give orders for him to go down on his face and be whipped before him, the number of the blows being in relation to his crime.
Si sa ki gen tò a merite bat, jij la va fè l' kouche plat atè, epi, l'a devan je l', l'a fè yo ba li kantite kou li merite pou sa l' fè a.
3 He may be given forty blows, not more; for if more are given, your brother may be shamed before you.
Nou pa janm gen dwa depase karant kou. Si nou ba li plis, nou ka pini l' twòp. Lè sa a, n'a avili l' devan tout moun.
4 Do not keep the ox from taking the grain when he is crushing it.
Nou pa bezwen mare bouch bèf la pou enpoze l' manje lè l'ap vire moulen pou kraze ble pou nou.
5 If brothers are living together and one of them, at his death, has no son, the wife of the dead man is not to be married outside the family to another man: let her husband's brother go in to her and make her his wife, doing as it is right for a brother-in-law to do.
Lè de frè rete ansanm nan menm kay, si yonn ladan yo rive mouri san li pa kite pitit, madan defen an pa ka al marye ak yon moun ki pa nan fanmi an. Se va devwa bòfrè a pou l' al jwenn vèv la pou l' marye ak li.
6 Then the first male child she has will take the rights of the brother who is dead, so that his name may not come to an end in Israel.
Premye pitit gason madanm lan va fè a va pote non frè ki mouri a pou non l' pa pèdi nan peyi Izrayèl la.
7 But if the man says he will not take his brother's wife, then let the wife go to the responsible men of the town, and say, My husband's brother will not keep his brother's name living in Israel; he will not do what it is right for a husband's brother to do.
Men, si nonm lan pa vle marye ak bèlsè li a, bèlsè a va moute nan tribinal bò pòtay lavil la, epi l'a di chèf fanmi yo: Bòfrè mwen an derefize fè devwa l'. Li pa vle konsève non frè li nan peyi Izrayèl la. Li refize marye avè m', jan lalwa peyi a mande l' fè l' la.
8 Then the responsible men of the town will send for the man, and have talk with him: and if he still says, I will not take her;
Lè sa a, chèf fanmi ki nan lavil la va fè rele nonm lan vin jwenn yo epi y'a pale avè l'. Si li derefize marye avèk bèlsè a,
9 Then his brother's wife is to come to him, before the responsible men of the town, and take his shoe off his foot, and put shame on him, and say, So let it be done to the man who will not take care of his brother's name.
bèlsè a va mache sou li, devan tout chèf fanmi yo, l'a wete yon grenn sapat nan pye nonm lan, l'a krache nan figi l', epi l'a di: -Men sa ki pou rive yon nonm ki refize bay frè li yon pitit.
10 And his family will be named in Israel, The house of him whose shoe has been taken off.
Nan peyi Izrayèl la, y'a rele fanmi nonm sa a: fanmi nonm grenn sapat la.
11 If two men are fighting, and the wife of one of them, coming to the help of her husband, takes the other by the private parts;
Si pandan de gason nan moun Izrayèl yo ap goumen, madanm yonn nan yo pwoche pou l' sove mari l' anba men lòt k'ap bat li a, epi li lonje men l', li kenbe lòt lan nan pati li,
12 Her hand is to be cut off; have no pity on her.
se pou nou san pitye pou li: koupe men l' la pou la.
13 Do not have in your bag different weights, a great and a small;
Nou pa gen dwa gen de kalite pwa nan sakit nou pou pran pèz, yonn ki bon, yonn ki pa bon,
14 Or in your house different measures, a great and a small.
ni de kalite mezi lakay nou, yonn ki bon ak yonn ki pa bon.
15 But have a true weight and a true measure: so that your life may be long in the land which the Lord your God is giving you.
N'a toujou sèvi ak bon mezi, san wete san mete. Se konsa n'a ka viv lontan nan peyi Seyè a, Bondye nou an, ap ban nou an.
16 For all who do such things, and all whose ways are not upright, are disgusting to the Lord your God.
Paske Seyè a pa vle wè moun k'ap fè bagay konsa, moun k'ap fè lenjistis.
17 Keep in mind what Amalek did to you on your way from Egypt;
Pa janm bliye sa Amalèk te fè nou lè nou te sou wout nou ap soti nan peyi Lejip.
18 How, meeting you on the way, he made an attack on you when you were tired and without strength, cutting off all the feeble ones at the end of your line; and the fear of God was not in him.
Yo pa t' gen krentif Bondye. Yo vin kontre nou sou chemen nou. Lè sa a nou te bouke, kò nou te kraze, epi yo pase pa dèyè, yo touye tout moun ki t'ap trennen dèyè yo.
19 So when the Lord your God has given you rest from all who are against you on every side, in the land which the Lord your God is giving you for your heritage, see to it that the memory of Amalek is cut off from the earth; keep this in mind.
Se poutèt sa, lè Seyè a, Bondye nou an, va ban nou lapè ak tout lènmi sa yo ki antoure nou toupatou nan peyi l'ap ban nou pou rele nou pa nou an, se pou nou touye tout moun Amalèk yo pou pesonn sou latè pa janm chonje yo ankò. Pa bliye sa!
