Exodus 20
1 And God said all these words:
Bondye pran pale, li di:
2 I am the Lord your God who took you out of the land of Egypt, out of the prison-house.
-Se mwen menm, Seyè a, Bondye nou an, ki te fè nou soti nan peyi Lejip kote nou te esklav la.
3 You are to have no other gods but me.
Piga nou gen lòt bondye pase mwen menm sèlman.
4 You are not to make an image or picture of anything in heaven or on the earth or in the waters under the earth:
Piga nou janm fè ankenn estati ni ankenn pòtre ki sanble bagay ki anwo nan syèl la, osinon bagay ki sou latè ou ankò nan dlo anba tè a.
5 You may not go down on your faces before them or give them worship: for I, the Lord your God, am a God who will not give his honour to another; and I will send punishment on the children for the wrongdoing of their fathers, to the third and fourth generation of my haters;
Piga nou adore yo, ni piga nou sèvi yo. Paske mwen menm, Seyè a, Bondye nou an, mwen se yon Bondye ki fè jalouzi. Lè yon moun rayi m', mwen fè pitit li, pitit pitit li ak pitit pitit pitit li yo peye sa.
6 And I will have mercy through a thousand generations on those who have love for me and keep my laws.
Men, lè yon moun renmen m', lè li fè sa m' mande l' fè, m'ap moutre l' jan mwen renmen l' tou ansanm ak tout pitit pitit li yo pandan mil jenerasyon.
7 You are not to make use of the name of the Lord your God for an evil purpose; whoever takes the Lord's name on his lips for an evil purpose will be judged a sinner by the Lord
Piga nou sèvi mal ak non Seyè a, Bondye nou an, paske Seyè a p'ap manke pa pini moun ki sèvi mal avèk non li.
8 Keep in memory the Sabbath and let it be a holy day.
Toujou chonje jou repo a pou nou mete l' apa pou mwen.
9 On six days do all your work:
N'a travay sis jou. Lè sa yo n'a fè tou sa nou gen pou fè.
10 But the seventh day is a Sabbath to the Lord your God; on that day you are to do no work, you or your son or your daughter, your man-servant or your woman-servant, your cattle or the man from a strange country who is living among you:
Men, setyèm jou a, se jou repo pou nou mete apa pou Seyè a, Bondye nou an. Jou sa a, nou p'ap fè ankenn travay, ni nou menm, ni pitit gason nou, ni pitit fi nou, ni moun k'ap travay lakay nou, ni bèt nou yo, ni etranje ki lakay nou.
11 For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, and the sea, and everything in them, and he took his rest on the seventh day: for this reason the Lord has given his blessing to the seventh day and made it holy.
Paske, Seyè a te pran sis jou pou l' fè syèl la, latè a ak lanmè a ansanm ak tou sa ki ladan yo. Apre sa, sou setyèm jou a, li pran repo. Se poutèt sa, Seyè a beni jou repo a, li mete l' apa pou li.
12 Give honour to your father and to your mother, so that your life may be long in the land which the Lord your God is giving you.
Respekte manman nou ak papa nou pou nou ka viv lontan nan peyi Seyè a, Bondye nou an, ban nou an.
13 Do not put anyone to death without cause.
Piga nou touye moun.
14 Do not be false to the married relation.
Piga nou fè adiltè.
15 Do not take the property of another.
Piga nou pran sa ki pa pou nou.
16 Do not give false witness against your neighbour.
Piga nou bay manti sou frè parèy nou.
17 Let not your desire be turned to your neighbour's house, or his wife or his man-servant or his woman-servant or his ox or his ass or anything which is his.
Piga nou pote lanvi sou sa ki pa pou nou: ni sou kay frè parèy nou, ni sou madanm li, ni sou moun k'ap sèvi lakay li, ni sou bèf li, ni sou bourik li, ni sou ankenn lòt bagay ki pou frè parèy nou.
18 And all the people were watching the thunderings and the flames and the sound of the horn and the mountain smoking; and when they saw it, they kept far off, shaking with fear.
Lè pèp la tande bri loraj la ak son twonpèt la, lè yo wè kout zèklè sou kout zèklè, ak mòn lan ki t'ap pouse lafimen, yo tranble sitèlman yo te pè. Yo ret kanpe byen lwen.
19 And they said to Moses, To your words we will give ear, but let not the voice of God come to our ears, for fear death may come on us.
Yo di Moyiz konsa: -Pito se ou menm ki pale ak nou, n'a koute sa w'ap di. Men, si se Bondye ki pou pale avèk nou, n'a mouri.
20 And Moses said to the people, Have no fear: for God has come to put you to the test, so that fearing him you may be kept from sin.
Moyiz di pèp la: -Nou pa bezwen pè. Bondye vini pou wè kote nou ye avèk li. Li vle pou nou toujou gen krentif pou li, pou nou pa lage kò nou nan fè peche.
21 And the people kept their places far off, but Moses went near to the dark cloud where God was.
Men pèp la rete kanpe byen lwen. Sèl Moyiz te pwoche kote nwaj nwa a kote Bondye te ye a.
22 And the Lord said to Moses, Say to the children of Israel, You yourselves have seen that my voice has come to you from heaven
Seyè a di Moyiz: -Men sa pou ou di moun pèp Izrayèl yo: Nou wè ki jan mwen ret nan syèl la pou m' pale ak nou.
23 Gods of silver and gods of gold you are not to make for yourselves.
Piga n al fè lòt bondye an ajan osinon an lò pou nou sèvi yo ansanm avè m'.
24 Make for me an altar of earth, offering on it your burned offerings and your peace-offerings, your sheep and your oxen: in every place where I have put the memory of my name, I will come to you and give you my blessing.
N'a bati yon lòtèl an tè pou mwen. Se sou li n'a ofri bèt n'a touye pou boule nèt yo ak bèt n'a touye pou di mèsi. Se sou li n'a ofri mouton ak bèf nou yo. Chak kote m'a di nou pou nou fè sèvis pou mwen, m'a vin jwenn nou la, m'a beni nou.
25 And if you make me an altar of stone do not make it of cut stones: for the touch of an instrument will make it unclean.
Si nou fe yon lòtèl ak ròch pou mwen, pa travay ròch n'a pran pou fè l' la. Paske lè ou travay yon ròch ak sizo, li pa ka sèvi pou mwen ankò.
26 And do not go up by steps to my altar, for fear that your bodies may be seen uncovered.
Piga nou sèvi ak macheskalye pou nou moute sou lòtèl mwen pou moun pa wè anba rad nou.
