< Deuteronomy 24 >
1 When a man hath taken a wife, and married her, and it come to pass that she find no favour in his eyes, because he hath found some uncleanness in her: then let him write her a bill of divorcement, and 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 out of his house, she may go and be another man’s [wife].
Konsa, lè l kite kay li, li gen dwa pou ale devni madanm a yon lòt mesye.
3 And [if] the latter husband hate her, and write her a bill of divorcement, and giveth [it] in her hand, and sendeth her out of his house; or if the latter husband die, which took her [to be] his wife;
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 Her former husband, which sent her away, may not take her again to be his wife, after that she is defiled; for that [is] abomination before the LORD: and thou shalt not cause the land to sin, which the LORD thy God giveth thee [for] an inheritance.
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 taken a new wife, he shall not go out to war, neither shall he be charged with any business: [but] he shall be free at home one year, and shall cheer up his wife which he hath taken.
“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 No man shall take the nether or the upper millstone to pledge: for he taketh [a man’s] life to pledge.
“Pèsòn pa pou pran wòch moulen anwo a kòm sekirite; paske se tankou li te pran vi a moun nan kòm sekirite.
7 If a man be found stealing any of his brethren of the children of Israel, and maketh merchandise of him, or selleth him; then that thief shall die; and thou shalt put evil away from among you.
“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 Take heed in the plague of leprosy, that thou observe diligently, and do according to all that the priests the Levites shall teach you: as I commanded them, [so] ye shall observe to do.
“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 thy God did unto Miriam by the way, after that ye were come forth 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 dost lend thy brother any thing, thou shalt not go into his house to fetch his pledge.
“Lè nou fè nenpòt kalite prè a vwazen nou, nou pa pou antre lakay li pou pran garanti.
11 Thou shalt stand abroad, and the man to whom thou dost lend shall bring out the pledge abroad unto thee.
Nou va rete deyò, e nonm k ap resevwa prè a va pote garanti a deyò bannou.
12 And if the man [be] poor, thou shalt not sleep with his pledge:
Si se yon malere, ou pa pou dòmi avèk garanti li.
13 In any case thou shalt deliver him the pledge again when the sun goeth down, that he may sleep in his own raiment, and bless thee: and it shall be righteousness unto thee 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 oppress an hired servant [that is] poor and needy, [whether he be] of thy brethren, or of thy strangers that [are] in thy land 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 At his day thou shalt give [him] his hire, neither shall the sun go down upon it; for he [is] poor, and setteth his heart upon it: lest he cry against thee unto the LORD, and it be sin unto thee.
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, neither shall the children be put to death for the fathers: every man shall be put to death 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; nor take a widow’s raiment to 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 But thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in Egypt, and the LORD thy God redeemed thee 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 cuttest down thine harvest in thy field, and hast forgot a sheaf in the field, thou shalt not go again to fetch it: it shall be for the stranger, for the fatherless, and for the widow: that the LORD thy God may bless thee in all the work of thine 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 When thou beatest thine olive tree, thou shalt not go over the boughs again: it shall be for the stranger, for the fatherless, and for 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 When thou gatherest the grapes of thy vineyard, thou shalt not glean [it] afterward: it shall be for the stranger, for the fatherless, and for 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 And thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in the land of Egypt: 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.
