Deuteronomy 25
1 If there be a controversy between men, and they resort to judgment, and they judge [their case]; then they shall justify the righteous, and condemn the wicked.
“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 it shall be if the wicked man have deserved to be beaten, that the judge shall cause him to lie down, and be beaten before his face, according to the measure of his wickedness with a certain number [of stripes].
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 With forty [stripes] shall they beat him; they shall not exceed, lest, if they continue to beat him with many stripes above these, thy brother become despicable in thine eyes.
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 Thou shalt not muzzle the ox when he treadeth out [the corn].
“Nou pa pou mare bouch a bèf la pandan l ap travay moulen an.
5 If brethren dwell together, and one of them die, and have no son, the wife of the dead shall not marry a stranger abroad: her husband's brother shall go in unto her, and take her to him as wife, and perform the duty of a husband's brother unto her.
“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 And it shall be, that the firstborn that she beareth shall stand in the name of his brother who is dead, that his name be not blotted out from 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 like not to take his brother's wife, his brother's wife shall go up to the gate unto the elders, and say, My husband's brother refuseth to raise up unto his brother a name in Israel: he will not perform for me the duty of a husband's brother.
“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 elders of his city shall call him and speak unto him; and if he stand to it and say, I like not to 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 shall his brother's wife come near to him before the eyes of the elders, and draw his sandal from his foot, and spit in his face, and shall answer and say, So shall it be done unto the man that will not build up his brother's house.
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 name shall be called in Israel, The house of him that hath his shoe drawn off.
An Israël, non li va rele: “Lakay a sila yo retire sapat la”.
11 When men fight together one with another, and the wife of the one come near to rescue her husband out of the hand of him that smiteth him, and stretch out her hand, and seize him by his secret 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 thou shalt cut off her hand; thine eye shall not spare.
alò, nou va koupe men li. Nou pa pou gen pitye pou li menm.
13 Thou shalt not have in thy bag divers weights, a great and a small.
“Nou pa pou pote nan sak nou plizyè kalite pwa balans, yon gwo avèk yon piti.
14 Thou shalt not have in thy house divers ephahs, a great and a small.
Nou pa pou genyen lakay nou plizyè kalite mezi, yon gwo avèk yon piti.
15 A perfect and just weight shalt thou have; a perfect and just ephah shalt thou have; that thy days may be prolonged in the land that Jehovah thy God giveth thee.
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 every one that doeth such things, every one that doeth unrighteousness, is an abomination to Jehovah thy God.
Paske tout moun ki fè bagay sa yo, tout moun ki aji avèk enjistis abominab a SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an.
17 Remember what Amalek did unto thee on the way, when ye came forth out of Egypt;
“Sonje sa ke Amalec te fè nou pandan nou te nan chemen pou sòti an Égypte la,
18 how he met thee on the way, and smote the hindmost of thee, all the feeble that lagged behind thee, when thou wast faint and weary, and he feared not God.
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 And it shall be, when Jehovah thy God shall have given thee rest from all thine enemies round about, in the land that Jehovah thy God giveth thee for an inheritance to possess it, that thou shalt blot out the remembrance of Amalek from under the heavens; thou shalt not forget it.
“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.
