Deuteronomy 23
1 No man whose genitals have been damaged or cut off is allowed to enter the Lord's sanctuary.
Lè yon nonm gen grenn li yo kraze, osinon pati li koupe, li pa gen dwa parèt tèt li ankò nan reyinyon pèp la ap fè pou fè sèvis pou Seyè a.
2 No one of mixed race is allowed to enter the Lord's sanctuary, and none of his descendants may do so either, up to the tenth generation.
Konsa tou, yon nonm ki gen san mele pa gen dwa parèt tèt li nan reyinyon pèp la ap fè pou fè sèvis pou Seyè a, ni pitit li yo, ni pitit pitit li yo, te mèt sou dis jenerasyon.
3 No Ammonite or Moabite or any of their descendants are allowed to enter the Lord's sanctuary, up to the tenth generation.
Moun Amon yo ak moun Moab yo p'ap janm gen dwa parèt tèt yo nan reyinyon n'ap fè pou fè sèvis pou Bondye, ni pitit yo, ni pitit pitit yo, te mèt sou dis jenerasyon.
4 For they did not come to meet you with food and water on your journey from Egypt, and they hired Balaam, son of Beor, from Pethor in Mesopotamia, to curse you.
Paske le nou te sou wout nou, apre nou te fin kite peyi Lejip la, yo pa t' ofri nou manje ak dlo. Okontrè, yo te peye Balaram, pitit gason Bejò a, pou l' te soti lavil Petò nan Mezopotami, vin ban nou madichon.
5 But the Lord your God refused to listen to Balaam. The Lord your God turned what was meant to be a curse into a blessing for you because the Lord your God loves you.
Men, Seyè a, Bondye nou an, te refize koute Balaram, epi li fè madichon an tounen benediksyon pou nou, paske Seyè a, Bondye nou an, renmen nou.
6 Don't arrange a peace treaty with them or help them out as long as you live.
Konsa, toutotan n'ap viv sou latè, piga nou janm fè anyen ni pou ede yo ni pou fè yo plezi.
7 Don't look down on an Edomite, for they are your relatives. Don't look down on an Egyptian either, because you lived as foreigners in their country.
Pa meprize moun Edon yo. Se moun menm ras avè nou yo ye. Pa meprize moun peyi Lejip yo non plis, paske yon lè se nan peyi yo nou te rete.
8 The third generation of their children are allowed to enter the Lord's sanctuary.
Lè moun sa yo vin rete nan peyi nou an, sou twa jenerasyon, pitit yo va gen dwa vin nan reyinyon n'ap fè pou fè sèvis pou Bondye.
9 When you are in an army camp during a war with your enemies, make sure you avoid anything wrong.
Lè n'ap fè lagè ak lènmi nou yo, antan n'ap viv nan kan, se pou nou egzante tou sa ki ka mete nou nan kondisyon pou nou pa ka fè sèvis Bondye.
10 Any man there who becomes unclean because of a release of semen must leave the camp and remain outside.
Si yon moun ta nan kondisyon pou li pa ka sèvi Bondye paske li te voye sou li lannwit, l'a soti kite kan an, l'a rete deyò pou tout jounen an.
11 Towards the end of the day he must wash himself with water, and at sunset he may return to the camp.
Nan aswè, l'a lave kò l'. Apre solèy kouche, l'a ka antre nan kan an ankò.
12 Choose a place outside the camp to be used as a toilet.
N'a chwazi yon kote andeyò limit kan an kote n'a ka ale fè bezwen nou.
13 You need to have a spade as part of your equipment so that you can dig a hole, and then when you're finished you can cover up your excrement.
N'a pran yon pikwa nan zouti nou yo, n'a fouye yon twou, n'a degaje nou, epi n'a kouvri l' ak tè.
14 The Lord your God is present with you in your camp to keep you safe and to defeat your enemies. Your camp must be kept holy, because if he sees anything unclean among you and he will leave you.
Seyè a, Bondye nou an, ap pwonmennen nan tout kan an pou l' pwoteje nou, pou l' lage lènmi nou yo nan men nou. Se poutèt sa, se pou nou toujou kenbe kan an pwòp nèt pou Seyè a pa wè anyen ladan l' ki pou ba l' kè tounen epi ki pou ta fè l' vire do ban nou.
15 Don't send a slave back to their master if they have come to you for protection.
Si yon esklav sove lakay mèt li vin mande nou pwoteksyon, nou pa gen dwa renmèt li bay mèt li.
16 Let the slave live in your country wherever they want, in whatever town they want. Don't mistreat them.
N'a kite l' viv avèk nou nan mitan pèp la, nan nenpòt ki lavil l'a chwazi, kote l'a pi pito. Pa janm pwofite sou li.
17 No Israelite women or men are to be cult prostitutes.
Piga ankenn gason ni ankenn fanm nan pèp Izrayèl la al pote tèt yo fè jennès nan sèvis pou zidòl moun lòt nasyon yo.
18 Don't bring into the house of the Lord your God any money from a prostitute, whether a woman or a man, using it to fulfill a promise to the Lord, for both are offensive to the Lord your God.
Pa janm kite yon fanm osinon yon gason vin nan tanp Bondye a pou fè ankenn ofrann ak lajan yo fè nan kondisyon sa a, paske Seyè a pa vle wè moun k'ap fè bagay konsa.
19 Don't charge a fellow Israelite interest on money, food, or any other kind of loan.
Piga nou janm fè yon moun pèp Izrayèl parèy nou peye enterè lè nou prete l' lajan, osinon manje, osinon nenpòt lòt bagay.
20 You may charge a foreigner interest, but not an Israelite, so that the Lord your God may bless you in everything you do in the country that you are going in to occupy.
Nou gen dwa egzije yon moun lòt nasyon pou l' peye nou enterè sou sa nou prete l'. Men, nou pa ka fè yon moun pèp Izrayèl parèy nou sa. Se konsa, Seyè a, Bondye nou an, va beni nou nan tou sa nou pral fè nan peyi Bondye pral ban nou pou rele nou pa nou.
21 If you make a promise to the Lord your God, don't be slow in keeping it, because he will definitely demand that you fulfill it and you will be guilty of sin if you don't.
Lè yonn nan nou pwomèt Seyè a n'ap fè kichòy pou li, pa kite twòp tan pase anvan nou kenbe pwomès la, paske Seyè a, Bondye nou an, p'ap manke mande nou kont. Lè sa a, n'a gen yon peche sou konsyans nou.
22 If you don't make such promises then you won't be guilty of sin.
Si nou pa fè Seyè a ankenn pwomès, nanpwen peche nan sa.
23 But make sure to carry out what you've said to the Lord your God, because it was you who freely chose to make such a promise.
Men, depi yon pawòl sot nan bouch nou, fòk nou kenbe l'. Lè nou fè Seyè a yon pwomès ak pwòp bouch nou san anyen pa t' fòse nou fè l', se pou nou kenbe l'.
24 When you walk through your neighbor's vineyard, you can eat as many grapes as you want, but you must not collect any to take with you.
Lè nou pase nan jaden rezen yon moun pèp Izrayèl parèy nou, nou gen dwa manje kont rezen nou, jan nou vle. Men, piga nou pran anyen pote ale.
25 When you walk through your neighbor's grainfield, you may pick the ears of grain with your hand, but you must not use a sickle to harvest it.
Si nou antre nan jaden ble yon moun pèp Izrayèl parèy nou, si ble a mi, nou gen dwa kase kèk zepi ak men nou. Men, piga nou mete manchèt pou koupe ble ki mi nan jaden moun pèp Izrayèl parèy nou.
