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.
“Si gen yon konfli antre de mesye, epi yo ale devan tribinal lan pou jij yo deside ka yo, yo gen pou jistifye sila ki gen ladwati a, e kondane sila ki mechan an.
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.
Konsa, li va rive ke si nonm ki mechan an, merite bat, jij la va fè li kouche, e fè bat li nan prezans li avèk fòs kantite kou ki koresponn avèk koupabilite li a.
3 He may be given forty blows, not more; for if more are given, your brother may be shamed before you.
Li kapab bat li karant fwa, men pa plis, jis pou li pa bat li avèk plis kou ke sa, epi frè nou an pa vin degrade nan zye nou.
4 Do not keep the ox from taking the grain when he is crushing it.
“Nou pa pou mare bouch a bèf la pandan l ap travay moulen an.
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 frè yo viv ansanm, youn nan yo mouri e li pa gen fis, madanm a sila ki mouri an p ap marye deyò fanmi an ak yon lòt mesye. Frè mari li a va antre nan li, epi pran li pou li menm kòm madanm pou fè devwa a yon frè mari a pou 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.
Li va rive ke premye ne ke li fè a, li va pran non a frè mouri an, pou non li pa efase soti an Israël.
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 nan pa vle pran madanm frè li a, alò, madanm frè li a va monte vè pòtay kote ansyen yo e di: ‘Frè mari mwen an refize etabli yon non pou frè li an Israël. Li pa dakò pou fè devwa a frè mari mwen.’
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;
Alò, ansyen a vil li yo va voye li pale avèk li menm frè a. Epi si li pèsiste e li di: ‘Mwen pa vle pran li,’
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.
alò, madanm frè li a va vin vè li devan zye a ansyen yo, li va retire sandal li nan pye li, ekrache nan figi li; epi li va deklare: ‘Se konsa sa fèt a mesye ki pa bati kay frè li.’
10 And his family will be named in Israel, The house of him whose shoe has been taken off.
An Israël, non li va rele: “Lakay a sila yo retire 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 de mesye, yon mesye avèk yon sitwayen parèy li ap lite ansanm, si madanm nan prè pou livre mari li a sila ki ap frape li a, e lonje men l pou sezi pati jenital li,
12 Her hand is to be cut off; have no pity on her.
alò, nou va koupe men li. Nou pa pou gen pitye pou li menm.
13 Do not have in your bag different weights, a great and a small;
“Nou pa pou pote nan sak nou plizyè kalite pwa balans, yon gwo avèk yon piti.
14 Or in your house different measures, a great and a small.
Nou pa pou genyen lakay nou plizyè kalite mezi, yon gwo avèk yon piti.
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.
Nou va gen yon pwa balans ki bon e ki jis. Nou va gen yon mezi ki bon e ki jis, jis pou jou nou yo kapab pwolonje nan peyi ke SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an bannou an.
16 For all who do such things, and all whose ways are not upright, are disgusting to the Lord your God.
Paske tout moun ki fè bagay sa yo, tout moun ki aji avèk enjistis abominab a SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an.
17 Keep in mind what Amalek did to you on your way from Egypt;
“Sonje sa ke Amalec te fè nou pandan nou te nan chemen pou sòti an Égypte la,
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.
kijan li te rankontre nou nan chemen an e te atake pami nou tout sila ki rete dèyè yo lè nou te fatige e san fòs la. Li pa t krent Bondye.
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.
“Pou sa, li va vin rive ke lè SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, vin bannou repo de tout lènmi ki antoure nou yo, nan peyi ke SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, te bannou kòm eritaj pou posede a, nou va efase memwa a Amalec soti anba syèl la. Nou pa pou bliye sa.
