Deuteronomy 23

1 He that is crushed or maimed in his privy parts shall not enter into the assembly of the LORD.

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 A bastard shall not enter into the assembly of the LORD; even to the tenth generation shall none of his enter into the assembly of the LORD.

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 An Ammonite or a Moabite shall not enter into the assembly of the LORD; even to the tenth generation shall none of them enter into the assembly of the LORD for ever;

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 because they met you not with bread and with water in the way, when ye came forth out of Egypt; and because they hired against thee Balaam the son of Beor from Pethor of Aram-naharaim, to curse thee.

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 Nevertheless the LORD thy God would not hearken unto Balaam; but the LORD thy God turned the curse into a blessing unto thee, because the LORD thy God loved thee.

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 Thou shalt not seek their peace nor their prosperity all thy days for ever.

Konsa, toutotan n'ap viv sou latè, piga nou janm fè anyen ni pou ede yo ni pou fè yo plezi.

7 Thou shalt not abhor an Edomite, for he is thy brother; thou shalt not abhor an Egyptian, because thou wast a stranger in his land.

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 children of the third generation that are born unto them may enter into the assembly of the LORD.

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 thou goest forth in camp against thine enemies, then thou shalt keep thee from every evil thing.

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 If there be among you any man, that is not clean by reason of that which chanceth him by night, then shall he go abroad out of the camp, he shall not come within the camp.

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 But it shall be, when evening cometh on, he shall bathe himself in water; and when the sun is down, he may come within the camp.

Nan aswè, l'a lave kò l'. Apre solèy kouche, l'a ka antre nan kan an ankò.

12 Thou shalt have a place also without the camp, whither thou shalt go forth abroad.

N'a chwazi yon kote andeyò limit kan an kote n'a ka ale fè bezwen nou.

13 And thou shalt have a paddle among thy weapons; and it shall be, when thou sittest down abroad, thou shalt dig therewith, and shalt turn back and cover that which cometh from thee.

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 For the LORD thy God walketh in the midst of thy camp, to deliver thee, and to give up thine enemies before thee; therefore shall thy camp be holy; that He see no unseemly thing in thee, and turn away from thee.

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 Thou shalt not deliver unto his master a bondman that is escaped from his master unto thee;

Si yon esklav sove lakay mèt li vin mande nou pwoteksyon, nou pa gen dwa renmèt li bay mèt li.

16 he shall dwell with thee, in the midst of thee, in the place which he shall choose within one of thy gates, where it liketh him best; thou shalt not wrong him.

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 There shall be no harlot of the daughters of Israel, neither shall there be a sodomite of the sons of Israel.

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 Thou shalt not bring the hire of a harlot, or the price of a dog, into the house of the LORD thy God for any vow; for even both these are an abomination unto the LORD thy 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 Thou shalt not lend upon interest to thy brother: interest of money, interest of victuals, interest of any thing that is lent upon interest.

Piga nou janm fè yon moun pèp Izrayèl parèy nou peye enterè lè nou prete l' lajan, osinon manje, osinon nenpòt lòt bagay.

20 Unto a foreigner thou mayest lend upon interest; but unto thy brother thou shalt not lend upon interest; that the LORD thy God may bless thee in all that thou puttest thy hand unto, in the land whither thou goest in to possess it.

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 When thou shalt vow a vow unto the LORD thy God, thou shalt not be slack to pay it; for the LORD thy God will surely require it of thee; and it will be sin in thee.

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 But if thou shalt forbear to vow, it shall be no sin in thee.

Si nou pa fè Seyè a ankenn pwomès, nanpwen peche nan sa.

23 That which is gone out of thy lips thou shalt observe and do; according as thou hast vowed freely unto the LORD thy God, even that which thou hast promised with thy mouth.

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 thou comest into thy neighbour's vineyard, then thou mayest eat grapes until thou have enough at thine own pleasure; but thou shalt not put any in thy vessel.

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 thou comest into thy neighbour's standing corn, then thou mayest pluck ears with thy hand; but thou shalt not move a sickle unto thy neighbour's standing corn.

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.
