Deuteronomy 24
1 If a man take a wife, and have her, and she find not favour in his eyes, for some uncleanness: he shall write a bill of divorce, and shall give it in her hand, and send her out of his house.
“Lè yon nonm pran yon madanm pou marye avèk li, epi li rive ke li pa jwenn favè nan zye li, akoz ke li twouve kèk defo nan li, li ekri li yon sètifika divòs, mete sètifika a nan men li pou mete li deyò lakay li.
2 And when she is departed, and marrieth another husband,
Konsa, lè l kite kay li, li gen dwa pou ale devni madanm a yon lòt mesye.
3 And he also hateth her, and hath given her a bill of divorce, and hath sent her out of his house or is dead:
Si dezyèm mari a vire kont li e ekri li yon sètifika divòs, e mete sètifika a nan men li pou mete li deyò lakay li; oswa, si dezyèm mari li te genyen an, vin mouri,
4 The former husband cannot take her again to wife: because she is defiled, and is become abominable before the Lord: lest thou cause thy land to sin, which the Lord thy God shall give thee to possess.
premye mari ki te voye li ale a, pa gen dwa pran li ankò kòm madanm li, akoz sa konwonpi. Paske sa se yon bagay abominab devan SENYÈ a. “Epi nou pa pou mennen peche sou peyi ke SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, bannou kòm eritaj la.
5 When a man hath lately taken a wife, he shall not go out to war, neither shall any public business be enjoined him, but he shall be free at home without fault, that for one year he may rejoice with his wife.
“Lè yon nonm fenk pran yon madanm tounèf, li pa pou sòti avèk lame a, ni vin responsab okenn chaj. Li gen pou rete lib lakay li pandan 1 nan pou fè madanm ke li te pran an, gen kè kontan.
6 Thou shalt not take the nether, nor the upper millstone to pledge: for he hath pledged his life to thee.
“Pèsòn pa pou pran wòch moulen anwo a kòm sekirite; paske se tankou li te pran vi a moun nan kòm sekirite.
7 If any man be found soliciting his brother of the children of Israel, and selling him shall take a price, he shall be put to death, and thou shalt take away the evil from the midst of thee.
“Si yo pran yon moun nan kidnape nenpòt nan sitwayen fis Israël yo, epi li te trete l kon esklav, oswa li te vann li; alò, vòlè sila a va mouri. Konsa, nou va retire mechanste pami nou.
8 Observe diligently that thou incur not the stroke of the leprosy, but thou shalt do whatsoever the priests of the Levitical race shall teach thee, according to what I have commanded them, and fulfill thou it carefully.
“Fè atansyon kont enfeksyon lalèp, pou nou swiv avèk dilijans e fè tout sa ke prèt Levit yo te enstwi nou. Jan mwen te kòmande yo a, se konsa nou va fè atansyon pou nou fè.
9 Remember what the Lord your God did to Mary, in the way when you came out of Egypt.
Sonje sa ke SENYÈ Bondye nou an, te fè Marie nan chemen an pandan nou t ap sòti an Égypte la.
10 When thou shalt demand of thy neighbour any thing that he oweth thee, thou shalt not go into his house to take away a pledge:
“Lè nou fè nenpòt kalite prè a vwazen nou, nou pa pou antre lakay li pou pran garanti.
11 But then shalt stand without, and he shall bring out to thee what he hath.
Nou va rete deyò, e nonm k ap resevwa prè a va pote garanti a deyò bannou.
12 But if he be poor, the pledge shall not lodge with thee that night,
Si se yon malere, ou pa pou dòmi avèk garanti li.
13 But thou shalt restore it to him presently before the going down of the sun: that he may sleep in his own raiment and bless thee, and thou mayst have justice before the Lord thy God.
Lè solèy la fin kouche, nou va, anverite, remèt garanti a li, pou li kapab dòmi nan manto li e beni nou. Sa va sèvi kòm ladwati pou nou devan SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an.
14 Thou shalt not refuse the hire of the needy, and the poor, whether he be thy brother, or a stranger that dwelleth with thee in the land, and is within thy gates:
Nou pa pou oprime yon sèvitè k ap travay pou nou ki malere e ki nan nesesite, kit se yon sitwayen parèy nou, oswa youn nan etranje nou yo ki rete nan peyi nou nan vil nou yo.
15 But thou shalt pay him the price of his labour the same day, before the going down of the sun, because he is poor, and with it maintaineth his life: lest he cry against thee to the Lord, and it be reputed to thee for a sin.
Nou va ba li salè li nan jou li avan solèy la kouche. Paske li se malere, e espwa kè li sou sa; jis pou li pa kriye kont nou vè SENYÈ a, pou sa devni yon peche nan nou.
16 The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, nor the children for the fathers, but every one shall die for his own sin.
“Papa yo p ap mete a lanmò pou zak kriminèl fis yo, ni fis a lanmò yo pou zak kriminèl papa yo. Tout moun ap vin mete a lanmò sèlman pou pwòp peche pa yo.
17 Thou shalt not pervert the judgment of the stranger nor of the fatherless, neither shalt thou take away the widow’s raiment for a pledge.
“Nou pa pou tòde lajistis la ki se dwa a yon etranje, oswa yon òfelen, ni pran rad a yon vèv kòm garanti.
18 Remember that thou wast a slave in Egypt, and the Lord thy God delivered thee from thence. Therefore I command thee to do this thing.
Men nou va sonje ke nou te esklav an Égypte, e ke SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, te peye ranson nou soti la. Akoz sa, mwen ap kòmande nou pou fè bagay sa a.
19 When thou hast reaped the corn in thy field, and hast forgot and left a sheaf, thou shalt not return to take it away: but thou shalt suffer the stranger, and the fatherless and the widow to tabs it away: that the Lord thy God may bless thee in all the works of thy hands.
“Lè nou fè rekòlt nou nan chan nou, men nou bliye yon pakèt nan chan an, nou pa pou retounen pran l. Li va pou etranje a, pou òfelen an ak pou vèv la, pou SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, kapab beni nou nan tout travay men nou yo.
20 If thou have gathered the fruit of thy olive trees, thou shalt not return to gather whatsoever remaineth on the trees: but shalt leave it for the stranger, for the fatherless, and the widow.
Lè nou keyi pye doliv la, nou pa pou pase sou branch yo yon dezyèm fwa. Li va pou etranje a, pou òfelen an ak pou vèv la.
21 If thou make the vintage of thy vineyard, thou shalt not gather the clusters that remain, but they shall be for the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow.
Lè nou rekòlte rezen nan chan rezen an, nou p ap pase sou li yon lòt fwa. Li va pou etranje a, pou òfelen an ak pou vèv la.
22 Remember that thou also wast a bondman in Egypt, and therefore I command thee to do this thing.
“Nou va sonje ke nou te yon esklav nan peyi Égypte la. Pou sa, mwen ap kòmande nou pou fè bagay sa a.
