Deuteronomy 16
1 Observe the month of new corn, which is the first of the spring, that thou mayst celebrate the phase to the Lord thy God: because in this month the Lord thy God brought thee out of Egypt by night.
Lè mwa Abib la va rive, se pou nou fete fèt delivrans lan pou Seyè a, Bondye nou an, paske se yon jou lannwit konsa, nan mwa Abib la, Seyè a, Bondye nou an, te fè nou soti kite peyi Lejip la.
2 And thou shalt sacrifice the phase to the Lord thy God, of sheep, and of oxen, in the place which the Lord thy God shall choose, that his name may dwell there.
Pou fèt delivrans lan, n'a ofri bèf, kabrit ak mouton pou yo touye pou Seyè a, Bondye nou an, kote li te chwazi pou yo adore l' la.
3 Thou shalt not eat with it leavened bread: seven days shalt thou eat without leaven, the bread of affliction, because thou camest out of Egypt in fear: that thou mayst remember the day of thy coming out of Egypt, all the days of thy life.
Lè n'ap manje vyann bèt nou touye pou mwen an, nou pa pou manje pen fèt ak ledven avè l'. Pandan sèt jou, n'a manje pen fèt san ledven, pen malere, paske se prese prese nou te soti kite peyi Lejip la. Konsa, n'a toujou chonje tout tray nou te pase jou nou t'ap soti kite peyi Lejip la.
4 No leaven shall be seen in all thy coasts for seven days, neither shall any of the flesh of that which was sacrificed the first day in the evening remain until morning.
Pandan sèt jou sa yo, pesonn nan peyi nou an pa gen dwa gen ledven lakay li. Epi nan vyann nou te ofri pou mwen nan aswè premye jou a, pa kite anyen pase nwit pou denmen maten.
5 Thou mayst not immolate the phase in any one of thy cities, which the Lord thy God will give thee:
Nou p'ap gen dwa touye bèt nou ofri pou delivrans lan nan ankenn lavil Seyè a va ban nou pou nou rete.
6 But in the place which the Lord thy God shall choose, that his name may dwell there: thou shalt immolate the phase in the evening, at the going down of the sun, at which time thou camest out of Egypt.
Se va sèlman kote Seyè a te chwazi pou fè sèvis pou li a n'a touye bèt delivrans lan nan aswè apre solèy fin kouche, paske se yon lè konsa nou te soti kite peyi Lejip.
7 And thou shalt dress, and eat it in the place which the Lord thy God shall choose, and in the morning rising up thou shalt go into thy dwellings.
N'a kwit vyann bèt nou te ofri a epi n'a manje l' kote Seyè a te chwazi a. Apre sa, nan maten, n'a vire do nou, n'a tounen lakay nou.
8 Six days shalt thou eat unleavened bread: and on the seventh day, because it is the assembly of the Lord thy God, thou shalt do no work.
Pandan sis jou, n'a manje pen fèt san ledven. Sou setyèm jou a, n'a reyini tout moun pou fè gwo sèvis pou Seyè a, Bondye nou an. Jou sa a, nou p'ap fè ankenn travay.
9 Thou shalt number unto thee seven weeks from that day, wherein thou didst put the sickle to the corn.
N'a konte sèt senmenn apre premye jou nou konmanse ranmase rekòt grenn nan jaden nou yo.
10 And thou shalt celebrate the festival of weeks to the Lord thy God, a voluntary oblation of thy hand, which thou shalt offer according to the blessing of the Lord thy God.
Apre sa, n'a fete Fèt Senmenn yo pou di Seyè a, Bondye nou an, mèsi. N'a pote ba li ofrann n'a vle dapre sa Seyè a va ban nou nan favè li.
11 And thou shalt feast before the Lord thy God, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, and thy manservant, and thy maidservant, and the Levite that is within thy gates, and the stranger and the fatherless, and the widow, who abide with you: in the place which the Lord thy God shall choose, that his name may dwell there:
N'a fè fèt devan Seyè a, Bondye nou an, kote li te chwazi pou fè sèvis pou li a, nou menm, pitit gason ak pitit fi nou yo, domestik nou yo, fanm kou gason, ansanm ak moun Levi yo ak moun lòt nasyon yo, timoun ki san papa ak fanm vèv k'ap viv ansanm ak nou nan lavil kote nou rete a.
12 And thou shalt remember that thou wast a servant in Egypt: and thou shalt keep and do the things that are commanded.
N'a toujou chonje nou menm tou yon lè nou te esklav nan peyi Lejip. Se poutèt sa n'a toujou obeyi tout lwa sa yo.
13 Thou shalt celebrate the solemnity also of tabernacles seven days, when thou hast gathered in thy fruit of the barnfloor and of the winepress.
Lè n'a fin moulen grenn jaden nou yo, lè n'a fin kraze rezen nou yo, n'a fè fèt Joupa yo pandan sèt jou.
14 And thou shalt make merry in thy festival time, thou, thy son, and thy daughter, thy manservant, and thy maidservant, the Levite also and the stranger, and the fatherless and the widow that are within thy gates.
N'a pran kont plezi nou, nou menm, pitit gason ak pitit fi nou yo, ansanm ak moun Levi yo ak moun lòt nasyon yo, timoun ki san papa ak fanm vèv ki rete nan lavil kote nou ye a.
15 Seven days shalt thou celebrate feasts to the Lord thy God in the place which the Lord shall choose: and the Lord thy God will bless thee in all thy fruits, and in every work of thy hands, and thou shalt be in joy.
Pandan sèt jou, n'a fè fèt pou Seyè a, Bondye nou an, kote li menm li te chwazi a, paske Seyè a, Bondye nou an, te beni nou nan tout rekòt nou yo, ak nan tout travay nou yo pou nou te ka kontan nèt ale.
16 Three times in a year shall all thy males appear before the Lord thy God in the place which he shall choose: in the feast of unleavened bread, in the feast of weeks, and in the feast of tabernacles. No one shall appear with his hands empty before the Lord:
Twa fwa chak lanne, pou fèt Delivrans lan, pou fèt Premye Rekòt la ak pou fèt Joupa yo, chak gason nan peyi a va vin adore Seyè a, Bondye nou an, kote Seyè a te chwazi pou fè sèvis pou li a. Yo p'ap gen dwa vini de men vid.
17 But every one shall offer according to what he hath, according to the blessing of the Lord his God, which he shall give him.
Men, yo chak va bay kichòy, dapre benediksyon Seyè a, Bondye nou an, va ba yo.
18 Thou shalt appoint judges and magistrates in all thy gates, which the Lord thy God shall give thee, in all thy tribes: that they may judge the people with just judgment,
N'a mete jij ak majistra nan chak lavil Seyè a, Bondye nou an, va ban nou pou dirije tout branch fanmi nou yo. Y'a fè travay yo san patipri.
19 And not go aside to either part. Thou shalt not accept person nor gifts: for gifts blind the eyes of the wise, and change the words of the just.
Piga yo fè ankenn lenjistis. Piga yo gade sou figi moun pou jije yo. Piga yo pran lajan anba nan men pesonn paske lajan konsa ka anpeche menm moun ki gen konprann wè klè, li ka fè nou kondannen moun inonsan.
20 Thou shalt follow justly after that which is just: that thou mayst live and possess the land, which the Lord thy God shall give thee.
Pa janm kite anyen anpeche nou rann jistis jan nou dwe fè l' la. Konsa, n'a kapab viv, n'a kapab pran peyi Seyè a, Bondye nou an, ap ban nou an pou nou.
21 Thou shalt plant no grove, nor any tree near the altar of the Lord thy God:
Piga nou janm plante ankenn poto Achera ni ankenn pyebwa repozwa pou sèvi nou zidòl bò kote lòtèl n'ap bati pou Seyè a, Bondye nou an.
22 Neither shalt thou make nor set up to thyself a statue: which things the Lord thy God hateth.
Piga nou janm mete wòch kanpe pou fè sèvis zidòl. Seyè a pa vle wè bagay konsa menm.
