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.

“Obsève mwa Abib lan pou selebre Pak a SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an; paske nan mwa Abib la, SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, te mennen nou sòti an Égypte nan nwit lan.

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.

Nou va fè sakrifis Pak a SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, soti nan bann mouton avèk twoupo a, kote SENYÈ a chwazi pou etabli non Li an.

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.

“Nou p ap manje pen ak ledven avè l. Sèt jou, nou va manje nan li pen san ledven, pen afliksyon an (paske nou te sòti nan peyi Égypte la prese prese), pou nou kab sonje tout jou sa a tout lavi nou, jou ke nou te sòti nan peyi Égypte 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, p ap gen ledven k ap parèt pami nou nan tout teritwa nou yo; ni okenn nan chè ke nou sakrifye nan aswè premye jou a, p ap rete tout nwit lan pou rive maten.

5 Thou mayst not immolate the phase in any one of thy cities, which the Lord thy God will give thee:

“Nou pa kapab fè sakrifis Pak la nan nenpòt nan vil ke SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, ap bannou yo,

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.

men kote SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, chwazi pou etabli non Li an, nou va fè sakrifis Pak la nan aswè, nan lè solèy kouche, nan menm lè jou ke nou te sòti an Égypte la.

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.

Nou va kwit e manje li nan plas ke SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, chwazi a. Nan maten, nou va retounen nan tant yo.

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.

Sis jou, nou va manje pen san ledven an. Konsa, nan setyèm jou a, va genyen yon konvokasyon solanèl a SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an. Nou pa pou fè okenn travay nan li.

9 Thou shalt number unto thee seven weeks from that day, wherein thou didst put the sickle to the corn.

“Nou va kontwole sèt semèn pou kont nou. Nou va kòmanse konte sèt semèn yo soti nan lè nou kòmanse mete kouto nan grenn sereyal la.

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.

Epi nou va selebre Fèt Semèn a SENYÈ yo, Bondye nou an, avèk don a yon ofrann bòn volonte nan men nou, ke nou va bay selon jan SENYÈ a beni nou.

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:

Konsa, nou va rejwi devan SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, nou menm avèk fis nou ak fi nou yo, sèvitè avèk sèvant nou yo, Levit ki nan vil nou an, e etranje avèk òfelen ak vèv ki nan mitan nou yo, nan kote ke SENYÈ Bondye nou an, chwazi pou etabli non Li an.

12 And thou shalt remember that thou wast a servant in Egypt: and thou shalt keep and do the things that are commanded.

Nou va sonje ke nou te esklav an Égypte, e nou va fè atansyon pou obsève 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.

“Nou va selebre Fèt Tonèl yo sèt jou apre nou fin fè antre, tout grenn jaden ak sitèn diven an.

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.

Nou va rejwi nan fèt nou, nou menm avèk fis nou ak fi nou yo, sèvitè ak sèvant nou yo, Levit la ak etranje a, òfelen ak vèv ki nan vil nou yo.

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.

Sèt jou, nou va selebre yon fèt a SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, kote ke SENYÈ a chwazi a, akoz SENYÈ Bondye nou an, va beni nou nan rekòlt nou yo ak nan tout travay men nou yo, pou nou kab vin ranpli nèt avèk jwa.

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 pa ane, tout mal nou yo va parèt devan SENYÈ, Bondye nou an, kote Li chwazi a, nan Fèt Pen San Ledven an, nan Fèt Semèn yo, nan Fèt Tonèl yo, e yo p ap parèt devan SENYÈ a 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.

Chak moun va bay jan li kapab, selon benediksyon SENYÈ a, te bannou an.

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,

“Nou va chwazi pou nou menm jij avèk ofisye nan tout vil ke SENYÈ, Bondye nou an, ap bannou yo, selon tribi yo, e yo va jije pèp la avèk jijman ki dwat.

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.

Nou p ap tòde jistis la. Nou p ap fè patipri, e nou p ap pran anyen anba tab; paske afè anba tab avegle zye a saj yo, e pèvèti pawòl a sila ki dwat yo.

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.

Lajistis e se sèl lajistis nou va swiv, pou nou kapab viv e posede peyi ke SENYÈ, Bondye nou an, ap bannou an.

21 Thou shalt plant no grove, nor any tree near the altar of the Lord thy God:

“Nou pa pou plante pou kont nou yon Ashera, ni okenn kalite pyebwa akote lotèl SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, ke nou va fè pou tèt nou.

22 Neither shalt thou make nor set up to thyself a statue: which things the Lord thy God hateth.

Nou pa pou etabli pou kont nou okenn wòch sakre ke SENYÈ Bondye nou an, rayi.
