Deuteronomy 22
1 If you see someone's cow or sheep wandering around, don't just ignore it. Make sure you take it back to its owner.
Lè nou jwenn bèf osinon kabrit yon moun pèp Izrayèl parèy nou ki kase kòd, pa fè tankou nou pa wè. Se pou nou pran l' mennen l' tounen ba li.
2 If its owner doesn't live near you, or if you don't know who it is, take the animal home with you and keep it until the owner comes looking, then you can return it.
Men, si mèt bèt la rete twò lwen, osinon si nou pa konnen pou ki moun li ye, n'a pran l', n'a mennen l' lakay nou. N'a kenbe l' lakay nou jouk mèt li va vin chache l'. Lè sa a n'a renmèt li li.
3 Do the same for whatever else you find that someone has lost—a donkey, a cloak, anything. Don't just ignore it.
N'a fè menm jan an tou pou bourik, rad osinon nenpòt bagay yon moun pèp Izrayèl parèy nou ta rive pèdi epi se nou ki ta jwenn li. Pa fè tankou nou pa wè sa.
4 If you see someone's donkey or cow that has fallen down on the road, don't just ignore it. Help lift it up.
Lè nou wè bourik osinon bèf yon moun pèp Izrayèl parèy nou kouche nan chemen, pa fè tankou nou pa wè sa. Se pou nou ride l' fè l' kanpe ankò.
5 A woman must not wear men's clothing, and a man must not wear women's clothing. Anyone who does this offends the Lord your God.
Fanm pa gen dwa mete rad gason sou yo. Gason pa gen dwa mete rad fanm sou yo. Seyè a, Bondye nou an, pa vle wè moun k'ap fè bagay konsa.
6 If you happen to find a bird's nest with chicks or eggs, whether it's in a tree or on the ground beside the road, and the mother is sitting on the chicks or eggs, don't take the mother with the young.
Si sou chemen nou, nou jwenn yon nich zwazo, swa sou yon pyebwa, swa atè avèk manman zwazo a kouche sou pitit li yo, osinon sou ze l'ap kouve, piga nou pran manman zwazo a sou nich la.
7 You may take the young, but make sure you let the mother go, so that you will do well and have a good long life.
N'a kite manman zwazo a vole ale, n'a pran ti zwazo yo sèlman. Se konsa Bondye va fè tout zafè nou mache byen, l'a fè nou viv lontan.
8 When you build a new house, be sure to install a railing around your roof, so that you won't be held guilty if someone dies falling from it.
Lè n'ap bati yon kay nèf, n'a mete balistrad pou moun pa sot tonbe sou teras twati a. Konsa yo p'ap ka rann nou reskonsab si yon moun ta rive tonbe epi li mouri lakay nou.
9 Don't plant your vineyard with another kind of crop. Otherwise everything you produce—the crop you planted and the fruit of your vineyard—must be dedicated to the Lord.
Pa janm plante ankenn lòt kalite grenn nan jaden rezen nou. Si nou fè sa, nou p'ap ka sèvi ni avèk rezen yo ni avèk rekòt lòt grenn nou te plante yo.
10 Don't harness an ox and a donkey together when you plow.
Piga nou mete bèf ak bourik ansanm pou rale chari.
11 Don't wear clothes made of wool and linen woven together.
Piga nou janm mete sou nou rad ki fèt ak divès kalite lenn ak twal fin blan tise ansanm.
12 Put tassels on the hem of the cloak you use to cover yourself.
N'a mete yon ponpon nan kat kwen rad nou mete sou nou.
13 If a man marries a woman and sleeps with her, but ends up hating her,
Sipoze yon nonm pran yon fanm pou madanm li, li kouche avè l', epi apre sa, li vin pa renmen l' ankò.
14 and accuses her of being immoral, giving her a bad name, saying, “I married this woman and slept with her, but I found out she wasn't a virgin.”
Lè sa a, li ba l' tout kalite defo ki genyen, li avili l' devan tout moun, li di: Fanm sa a pa di m' anyen ankò, paske lè m' marye avè l', lè nou vin ansanm, mwen te jwenn li pa t' tifi.
15 The woman's parents are to bring the proof of her virginity to the elders at the town gate,
Enben, lè sa a, papa ak manman jenn madanm lan va pran dra maryaj la ki gen prèv madanm lan te tifi, y'a pote l' nan tribinal bò pòtay lavil la, y'a moutre chèf fanmi lavil yo li.
16 and the father will explain to them, “I gave my daughter in marriage to this man, but he has ended up hating her.
Epi, papa jenn ti madanm lan va di chèf fanmi yo: mwen te bay nonm sa a pitit fi mwen pou madanm. Koulye a, li pa renmen l' ankò,
17 Now he has accused her of being immoral, saying, ‘I found out that your daughter wasn't a virgin.’ But here's the proof of her virginity.” The parents shall spread out the sheet in front of the town elders.
li pretann di madanm lan plen defo, l'ap di: O wi, mwen pa jwenn madanm lan tifi, men mwen pote ban nou prèv li te tifi. Epi l'a louvri dra a devan tout chèf fanmi lavil la.
18 Then the elders of that city shall take the man and punish him.
Lè sa a chèf fanmi lavil yo va pran mari a, y'a bat li byen bat.
19 They shall also fine him a hundred shekels of silver and give the money to the young woman's father, because this man has given an Israelite virgin a bad name. She is to remain his wife; he is not allowed to divorce her as long as he lives.
Y'a fè l' peye yon amann, y'a fè l' bay san pyès ajan, y'a renmèt bay papa jenn fanm lan, paske li te pale yon jenn tifi moun Izrayèl yo mal. Lèfini l'a blije rete ak fanm lan, li p'ap janm ka divòse avè l', jouk li menm li mouri.
20 But if the accusation is true, and there's no proof of the woman's virginity,
Men, si sa mari a te di a se te vre, kifè yo pa t' kapab bay prèv madanm lan te tifi,
21 she is to be taken to the door of her father's house, and there the men of her town are to stone her to death. She has done something disgraceful in Israel by acting immorally in her father's house. You must eliminate the evil from among you.
y'a pran ti madanm lan, y'a mennen l' deyò devan lakay papa l', epi tout gason ki rete nan lavil la va kalonnen l' wòch jouk li mouri, paske li te fè yon wont nan peyi Izrayèl la, li te lage kò l' nan dezòd antan li te lakay papa l'. Se konsa n'a wete bagay mal k'ap fèt nan mitan nou.
22 If a man is found sleeping with someone else's wife, both the man and the woman must die. You must eliminate the evil from Israel.
Si nou bare yon nonm ap kouche ak yon madan marye, yo tou de fèt pou mouri, ni nèg ki te kouche ak fanm lan ni fanm lan tou. Se konsa n'a wete bagay mal k'ap fèt nan mitan nou.
23 If a man meets a girl, a virgin engaged to another man, and sleeps with her there in the town,
Si yon jenn fi tifi fiyanse ak yon nonm epi yon lòt nèg kontre avè l' nan yon lavil, li kouche avè l' epi moun bare yo, n'a kalonnen yo wòch jouk yo mouri. Jenn fi a va mouri paske se nan mitan yon lavil li ye, li ta ka rele mande sekou.
24 then you must take both of them to the town gate and stone them to death. The young woman is guilty because she did not cry out for help in the town, and the man is guilty because he has brought shame on someone else's fiancée. You must eliminate the evil from among you.
Nèg la va mouri tou paske li te avili yon fi ki te fiyanse ak yon moun pèp Izrayèl parèy li. Wi, se konsa n'a wete bagay mal k'ap fèt nan mitan nou.
25 However, if the man happens to meet a woman who is engaged out in the countryside, and he attacks her and rapes her, only the man has to die.
Men, si se andeyò lwen kay moun nèg la te kontre ak jenn fi fiyanse a, epi li kenbe l', li kouche avè l', se nèg la sèlman ki pou mouri.
26 Don't do anything to the woman, because she has not committed a sin punishable by death. (This is the same kind of situation as when a man attacks someone else and murders them.)
Yo pa gen dwa fè jenn fi a anyen, paske li pa fè anyen la a pou li ta merite lanmò. Se menm jan si se te yon nonm ki atake yon lòt epi li touye l'.
27 When the man raped the woman who was engaged out in the countryside, she shouted out, but there wasn't anyone there to rescue her.
Nèg la te kontre avè l' andeyò lwen kay. Jenn fi a te ka rele, men pa t' gen pesonn pou pote l' sekou.
28 If a man happens to meet a virgin who is not engaged, and he grabs her and rapes her, and someone sees them,
Si yon nonm kontre ak yon jenn fi ki tifi lakay papa l', ki poko fiyanse, epi li kenbe l', li fòse l' kouche avè l', si yo bare yo,
29 the man must pay the woman's father fifty shekels of silver, and he must marry her because he has brought shame on her. He is not allowed to divorce her as long as he lives.
nèg ki te kouche avèk fi a va gen pou l' bay papa fi a senkant pyès ajan. Li va pran fi a pou madanm li, paske li te fòse l' kouche avè l'. Li p'ap janm ka divòse avè l' jouk li mouri.
30 A man must not marry his father's wife, so that he won't bring shame on his father.
Yon nonm pa gen dwa kouche ak madanm papa l'. Li pa gen dwa avili papa l' konsa.
