Deuteronomy 23
1 He that is a eunuch, whether he have been crushed or cut, shall not come into the congregation of Jehovah.
Lè yon nonm gen grenn li yo kraze, osinon pati li koupe, li pa gen dwa parèt tèt li ankò nan reyinyon pèp la ap fè pou fè sèvis pou Seyè a.
2 A bastard shall not come into the congregation of Jehovah; even his tenth generation shall not come into the congregation of Jehovah.
Konsa tou, yon nonm ki gen san mele pa gen dwa parèt tèt li nan reyinyon pèp la ap fè pou fè sèvis pou Seyè a, ni pitit li yo, ni pitit pitit li yo, te mèt sou dis jenerasyon.
3 An Ammonite or Moabite shall not come into the congregation of Jehovah; even their tenth generation shall not come into the congregation of Jehovah for ever;
Moun Amon yo ak moun Moab yo p'ap janm gen dwa parèt tèt yo nan reyinyon n'ap fè pou fè sèvis pou Bondye, ni pitit yo, ni pitit pitit yo, te mèt sou dis jenerasyon.
4 because they met you not with bread and with water on the way, when ye came forth out of Egypt, and because they hired against thee Balaam the son of Beor, of Pethor of Mesopotamia, to curse thee.
Paske le nou te sou wout nou, apre nou te fin kite peyi Lejip la, yo pa t' ofri nou manje ak dlo. Okontrè, yo te peye Balaram, pitit gason Bejò a, pou l' te soti lavil Petò nan Mezopotami, vin ban nou madichon.
5 But Jehovah thy God would not listen to Balaam; and Jehovah thy God turned the curse into blessing unto thee, because Jehovah thy God loved thee.
Men, Seyè a, Bondye nou an, te refize koute Balaram, epi li fè madichon an tounen benediksyon pou nou, paske Seyè a, Bondye nou an, renmen nou.
6 Thou shalt not seek their peace nor their prosperity all thy days for ever.
Konsa, toutotan n'ap viv sou latè, piga nou janm fè anyen ni pou ede yo ni pou fè yo plezi.
7 Thou shalt not abhor an Edomite; for he is thy brother. Thou shalt not abhor an Egyptian; because thou wast a sojourner in his land.
Pa meprize moun Edon yo. Se moun menm ras avè nou yo ye. Pa meprize moun peyi Lejip yo non plis, paske yon lè se nan peyi yo nou te rete.
8 Children that are born to them shall come into the congregation of Jehovah in the third generation.
Lè moun sa yo vin rete nan peyi nou an, sou twa jenerasyon, pitit yo va gen dwa vin nan reyinyon n'ap fè pou fè sèvis pou Bondye.
9 When thou goest forth into camp against thine enemies, then keep thee from every evil thing.
Lè n'ap fè lagè ak lènmi nou yo, antan n'ap viv nan kan, se pou nou egzante tou sa ki ka mete nou nan kondisyon pou nou pa ka fè sèvis Bondye.
10 If there be with thee a man that is not clean from what hath happened in the night, then shall he go outside the camp; he shall not come inside the camp;
Si yon moun ta nan kondisyon pou li pa ka sèvi Bondye paske li te voye sou li lannwit, l'a soti kite kan an, l'a rete deyò pou tout jounen an.
11 and it shall be, towards evening, he shall bathe in water: and at the going down of the sun he may come inside the camp.
Nan aswè, l'a lave kò l'. Apre solèy kouche, l'a ka antre nan kan an ankò.
12 Thou shalt have a place also outside the camp, and shalt go forth thither.
N'a chwazi yon kote andeyò limit kan an kote n'a ka ale fè bezwen nou.
13 And thou shalt have a shovel amongst thy weapons, and it shall be, when thou sittest down abroad, thou shalt dig therewith, and shalt turn back and cover that which is come from thee.
N'a pran yon pikwa nan zouti nou yo, n'a fouye yon twou, n'a degaje nou, epi n'a kouvri l' ak tè.
14 For Jehovah thy God walketh in the midst of thy camp, to deliver thee, and to give up thine enemies before thee; and thy camp shall be holy, that he see nothing unseemly with thee, and turn away from thee.
Seyè a, Bondye nou an, ap pwonmennen nan tout kan an pou l' pwoteje nou, pou l' lage lènmi nou yo nan men nou. Se poutèt sa, se pou nou toujou kenbe kan an pwòp nèt pou Seyè a pa wè anyen ladan l' ki pou ba l' kè tounen epi ki pou ta fè l' vire do ban nou.
15 Thou shalt not hand over to his master a bondman that hath escaped from his master unto thee:
Si yon esklav sove lakay mèt li vin mande nou pwoteksyon, nou pa gen dwa renmèt li bay mèt li.
16 he shall dwell with thee, even in thy midst, in the place that he shall choose in one of thy gates, where it seemeth good to him; thou shalt not oppress him.
N'a kite l' viv avèk nou nan mitan pèp la, nan nenpòt ki lavil l'a chwazi, kote l'a pi pito. Pa janm pwofite sou li.
17 There shall be no prostitute amongst the daughters of Israel, nor any Sodomite amongst the sons of Israel.
Piga ankenn gason ni ankenn fanm nan pèp Izrayèl la al pote tèt yo fè jennès nan sèvis pou zidòl moun lòt nasyon yo.
18 Thou shalt not bring the hire of a harlot, or the price of a dog, into the house of Jehovah thy God for any vow; for even both these are an abomination to Jehovah thy God.
Pa janm kite yon fanm osinon yon gason vin nan tanp Bondye a pou fè ankenn ofrann ak lajan yo fè nan kondisyon sa a, paske Seyè a pa vle wè moun k'ap fè bagay konsa.
19 Thou shalt take no interest of thy brother, interest of money, interest of victuals, interest of anything that can be lent upon interest:
Piga nou janm fè yon moun pèp Izrayèl parèy nou peye enterè lè nou prete l' lajan, osinon manje, osinon nenpòt lòt bagay.
20 of a foreigner thou mayest take interest, but of thy brother thou shalt not take interest; that Jehovah thy God may bless thee in all the business of thy hand in the land whither thou goest to possess it.
Nou gen dwa egzije yon moun lòt nasyon pou l' peye nou enterè sou sa nou prete l'. Men, nou pa ka fè yon moun pèp Izrayèl parèy nou sa. Se konsa, Seyè a, Bondye nou an, va beni nou nan tou sa nou pral fè nan peyi Bondye pral ban nou pou rele nou pa nou.
21 When thou vowest a vow to Jehovah thy God, thou shalt not delay to perform it; for Jehovah thy God will certainly require it of thee, and it shall be sin in thee.
Lè yonn nan nou pwomèt Seyè a n'ap fè kichòy pou li, pa kite twòp tan pase anvan nou kenbe pwomès la, paske Seyè a, Bondye nou an, p'ap manke mande nou kont. Lè sa a, n'a gen yon peche sou konsyans nou.
22 But if thou forbear to vow, it shall be no sin in thee.
Si nou pa fè Seyè a ankenn pwomès, nanpwen peche nan sa.
23 What is gone out of thy lips thou shalt keep and do, as thou hast vowed to Jehovah thy God, the voluntary-offering that thou hast promised with thy mouth.
Men, depi yon pawòl sot nan bouch nou, fòk nou kenbe l'. Lè nou fè Seyè a yon pwomès ak pwòp bouch nou san anyen pa t' fòse nou fè l', se pou nou kenbe l'.
24 When thou comest into thy neighbour's vineyard, thou mayest eat grapes thy fill, according to thy desire, but thou shalt not put any in thy vessel.
Lè nou pase nan jaden rezen yon moun pèp Izrayèl parèy nou, nou gen dwa manje kont rezen nou, jan nou vle. Men, piga nou pran anyen pote ale.
25 When thou comest into the standing corn of thy neighbour, thou mayest pluck ears with thy hand; but thou shalt not wave the sickle against thy neighbour's standing corn.
Si nou antre nan jaden ble yon moun pèp Izrayèl parèy nou, si ble a mi, nou gen dwa kase kèk zepi ak men nou. Men, piga nou mete manchèt pou koupe ble ki mi nan jaden moun pèp Izrayèl parèy nou.
