Deuteronomy 15
1 “In the seventh year, you shall perform a remission,
Chak sètan n'a annile dèt tout moun ki dwe nou, n'a kite lajan an pou yo.
2 which shall be celebrated according to this order. Anyone to whom anything is owed, by his friend or neighbor or brother, will not be able to request its return, because it is the year of remission of the Lord.
Men ki jan n'a fè l': Tout moun ki te prete yon moun pèp Izrayèl parèy li lajan va kite lajan an pou li. Depi lè a rive pou yo annile tout dèt pou Seyè a, li p'ap ka egzije pou lòt la renmèt li lajan an ankò.
3 From the sojourner and the new arrival, you may require its return. From your fellow countryman and neighbor, you will not have the power to request its return.
N'a gen dwa egzije pou moun lòt nasyon yo peye nou sa yo dwe nou. Men, nenpòt kisa yon moun pèp Izrayèl parèy nou dwe nou, n'a kite l' pou li.
4 And there shall not be anyone indigent or begging among you, so that the Lord your God may bless you in the land which he will deliver to you as a possession.
Konsa, p'ap gen moun pòv nan mitan nou, paske Seyè a, Bondye nou an, va beni nou nan peyi l'ap ban nou pou byen eritaj nou an, nan peyi nou pral pran pou nou an.
5 But only if you heed the voice of the Lord your God, and keep to all that he has ordered, that which I am entrusting to you this day, will he bless you, just as he has promised.
Men, se pou nou toujou obeyi Seyè a, se pou nou swiv pwen pa pwen tout kòmandman m'ap ban nou jòdi a.
6 You shall lend money to many nations, and you yourselves shall borrow in return from no one. You shall rule over very many nations, and no one shall rule over you.
Wi, Seyè a, Bondye nou an, va beni nou, jan li te pwomèt nou an, konsa n'a gen lajan pou prete anpil lòt nasyon. Men, nou menm nou p'ap janm bezwen prete nan men pesonn. N'a donminen sou anpil lòt pèp. Men, yo yonn p'ap gen pye sou kou nou.
7 If one of your brothers, who dwells within the gates of your city, in the land which the Lord your God will give to you, falls into poverty, you shall not harden your heart, nor tighten your hand.
Si ta gen yon pòv nan mitan moun pèp Izrayèl parèy nou yo k'ap viv nan yonn nan lavil nan peyi Seyè a te ban nou an, pa fèmen kè nou, pa refize lonje men bay frè nou ki nan nesesite.
8 Instead, you shall open your hand to the poor, and you shall lend to him whatever you perceive him to need.
Okontrè, se pou nou lonje men ba li, n'a prete l' lajan pou l' achte tou sa li bezwen.
9 Take care, lest perhaps an impious thought might creep within you, and you might say in your heart: ‘The seventh year of remission approaches.’ And so you might turn your eyes away from your poor brother, unwilling to lend to him what he has asked. If so, then he may cry out against you to the Lord, and it will be a sin for you.
Pa kite ankenn move lide pase nan tèt nou pou nou ta di: Nou toupre setyèm lanne a, lanne pou nou annile dèt tout moun ki dwe nou, epi pou nou fè move jan ak frè parèy nou ki nan nesesite, pou nou derefize prete l' anyen. Paske lè sa a, l'a rele Seyè a, l'a pale l' pou nou, epi n'a gen tò.
10 Instead, you shall give to him. Neither shall you do anything craftily while assisting him in his needs, so that the Lord your God may bless you, at all times and in all things to which you will put your hand.
Non. Se pou nou prete l' epi lè n'ap prete l', se pou ou fè l' ak tout kè ou. Konsa, poutèt sa, Seyè a, Bondye nou an, va beni nou nan tout travay nou, nan tou sa n'ap fè.
11 The poor will not be absent from the land of your habitation. For this reason, I instruct you to open your hand to your indigent and poor brother, who lives among you in the land.
Va toujou gen kèk moun nan pèp Izrayèl la k'ap nan nesesite. Se poutèt sa mwen mande nou pou nou aprann louvri men nou bay frè parèy nou ki pòv osinon ki nan nesesite nan peyi nou an.
12 When your brother, a Hebrew man or a Hebrew woman, has been sold to you, and has served you for six years, in the seventh year you shall set him free.
Si yon moun menm ras ak nou, kit se gason, kit se fanm, vin vann tèt li ban nou pou li sèvi nou esklav, li va sèvi nou sizan. Lè setyèm lanne a va rive, se pou nou kite l' al fè wout li.
13 And when you grant his freedom, you shall by no means permit him to go away empty.
Lè n'ap ranvwaye l' la, pa kite l' ale san nou pa ba li anyen.
14 Instead, you shall give to him, for his journey, from your flocks and threshing floor and winepress, with which the Lord your God has blessed you.
Men, n'a fè l' kado nan bèt nou yo, nan rekòt jaden nou, nan diven nou ak lwil nou, ki vle di n'a separe avè l' byen Seyè a, Bondye nou an, te ban nou pou benediksyon.
15 Remember that you yourself also served in the land of Egypt, and the Lord your God set you free. And therefore, I now command this of you.
Pa bliye se esklav nou te ye tou nan peyi Lejip la, epi se Seyè a, Bondye nou an, ki te delivre nou. Se poutèt sa mwen ban nou lòd sa a jòdi a.
16 But if he will say, ‘I am not willing to depart,’ because he loves you and your household, and because he feels that it would be good for him to stay with you,
Men, si yon esklav konsa di nou li p'ap kite nou, paske li renmen nou ansanm ak tout moun lakay nou, paske nou aji byen avè l',
17 then you shall take an awl and pierce his ear, at the door of your house. And he shall serve you even forever. You shall also act similarly toward your woman servant.
lè sa a, n'a pran yon bagay pwenti, n'a fè l' pwoche bò pòt devan lakay nou, n'a pèse zòrèy li. Konsa, l'a rete ap sèvi nou pou tout tan jouk li mouri. N'a fè menm bagay la tou pou fanm ki esklav lakay nou.
18 You should not avert your eyes from them when you set them free, because he has served you for six years, in a manner deserving of the pay of a hired hand. So may the Lord your God bless you in all the works that you do.
Piga nou janm wè sa twò rèd pou nou voye yon esklav tounen lakay li, paske li te sèvi nou pandan sizan pou mwatye pri nou ta peye yon moun k'ap travay pou lajan lakay nou. Se konsa, Seyè a, Bondye nou an, va beni nou nan tou sa n'ap fè.
19 Of the firstborn, those born from your herds and sheep, you shall sanctify to the Lord your God whatever is of the male sex. You shall not put the firstborn of the oxen to work, nor shall you shear the firstborn of the sheep.
Tout premye pitit mal fenmèl bèf nou osinon fenmèl mouton nou va fè, n'a mete yo apa pou Bondye, Seyè a. Piga nou janm fè premye ti towo fenmèl bèf nou fè a travay pou nou. Ni nou pa dwe janm taye lenn ki sou premye ti belye mouton fenmèl mouton nou yo fè a.
20 In the sight of the Lord your God, you shall eat these, each year, in the place which the Lord will choose, you and your household.
Chak lanne, nou menm ak tout fanmi nou, n'a manje yo devan Seyè a, kote Seyè a, Bondye nou an, te chwazi a.
21 But if it has a blemish, or is lame, or is blind, or if it is in any part deformed or debilitated, it shall not be immolated to the Lord your God.
Men, si l'ap bwete, osinon si li pèdi yon je, oswa si li gen nenpòt lòt enfimite ki konsekan, se pa pou nou touye l' pou Seyè a, Bondye nou an.
22 Instead, you shall eat it within the gates of your city. The clean as well as the unclean alike shall feed on these, such as the roe deer and the stag.
N'a manje l' lakay nou, tout moun va manje ladan l', kit yo nan kondisyon pou sèvi Bondye, kit yo pa nan kondisyon pou fè l', menm jan yo konn manje vyann gazèl ak vyann towo bèf.
23 This alone shall you observe: that you do not eat their blood, but pour it upon the ground like water.”
Tansèlman, piga nou manje san l'. Se pou nou vide tout san an atè tankou dlo.
