Exodus 20
1 And the Lord spoke all these words, saying:
Bondye te pale tout pawòl sa yo e te di:
2 I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
“Mwen menm se SENYÈ a Bondye ou a, ki te mennen ou sòti deyò nan peyi Égypte la, deyò kay esklavaj la.
3 You shall have no other gods beside me.
“Ou pa pou gen lòt dye devan M.
4 You shall not make to yourself an idol, nor likeness of anything, whatever things are in the heaven above, and whatever are in the earth beneath, and whatever are in the waters under the earth.
“Ou pa pou fè pou kont ou, yon zidòl, ni okenn imaj sou sa ki nan syèl la anwo, ni sou latè anba, ni nan dlo anba tè a.
5 You shall not bow down to them, nor serve them; for I am the Lord your God, a jealous God, recompensing the sins of the fathers upon the children, to the third and fourth generation to them that hate me,
“Ou pa pou adore yo ni sèvi yo. Paske Mwen, SENYÈ a, Bondye pa w la. Mwen se yon Bondye jalou, k ap vizite inikite a papa yo sou pitit yo, jis rive nan twazyèm ak katriyèm jenerasyon a sila ki rayi Mwen yo,
6 and bestowing mercy on them that love me to thousands [of them], and on them that keep my commandments.
men k ap montre lanmou dous ak mizerikòd pami dè milye a sila ki renmen M, e ki kenbe kòmandman Mwen yo.
7 You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain; for the Lord your God will not acquit him that takes his name in vain.
“Ou pa pou pran non SENYÈ a an ven, paske SENYÈ a p ap kite sila a ki mal sèvi ak non Li an san pinisyon.”
8 Remember the sabbath day to keep it holy.
Sonje jou Saba a pou kenbe l sen.
9 Six days you shall labor, and shall perform all your work.
Si jou nou va travay e nou va fè tout travay nou yo,
10 But on the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord your God; on it you shall do no work, you, nor your son, nor your daughter, your servant nor your maidservant, your ox nor your ass, nor any cattle of your, nor the stranger that sojourns with you.
men setyèm jou a se yon jou Saba a SENYÈ a Bondye nou an. Ladann l ou pa pou fè okenn travay; ni ou menm, ni fis ou, ni fi ou, ni sèvitè ou, ni sèvant ou, ni bèf ou, ni etranje ki demere avèk ou.
11 For in six days the Lord made the heaven and the earth, and the sea and all things in them, and rested on the seventh day; therefore the Lord blessed the seventh day, and hallowed it.
Paske nan si jou, SENYÈ a te fè syèl la avèk tè a, lanmè a, ak tout sa ki gen ladann, e Li te repoze nan setyèm jou a. Konsa, SENYÈ a te beni jou Saba a, e te fè l sen.
12 Honor your father and your mother, that it may be well with you, and that you may live long on the good land, which the Lord your God gives to you.
Onore papa ou avèk manman ou, pou jou lavi ou yo kapab anpil nan peyi ke SENYÈ a, Bondye ou a te bay ou.
13 You shall not commit adultery.
Ou pa pou touye moun.
14 You shall not steal.
Ou pa pou fè adiltè.
15 You shall not kill.
Ou pa pou vòlè.
16 You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.
Ou pa pou fè fo temwayaj kont vwazen ou.
17 You shall not covet your neighbor's wife; you shall not covet your neighbor's house; nor his field, nor his servant, nor his maid, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any of his cattle, nor whatever belongs to your neighbor.
Ou pa pou fè anvi sou lakay vwazen ou; ou pa pou fè anvi sou madanm vwazen ou, ni sèvant li, ni sèvitè li, ni bèf li, ni bourik li, ni okenn bagay ki pou vwazen ou.
18 And all the people perceived the thundering, and the flashes, and the voice of the trumpet, and the mountain smoking; and all the people feared and stood afar off,
Tout pèp la te tande gwonde tonnè avèk kout loray ak son a twonpèt la, ak mòn nan ki t ap fè lafimen. Lè pèp la te wè li, yo te tranble e te kanpe a yon distans.
19 and said to Moses, Speak you to us, and let not God speak to us, lest we die.
Konsa, yo te di Moïse: “Pale avèk nou ou menm, e nou va koute; men pa kite Bondye pale avèk nou, oswa nou va mouri.”
20 And Moses says to them, Be of good courage, for God is come to you to try you, that his fear may be among you, that you sin not.
Moïse te di a pèp la: “Pa pè, paske Bondye vini pou pase nou a leprèv, e pou lakrent Li kapab rete avèk nou, pou nou pa peche.”
21 And the people stood afar off, and Moses went into the darkness where God was.
Alò, pèp la te kanpe a yon distans, pandan Moïse te pwoche gwo nwaj la kote Bondye.
22 And the Lord said to Moses, Thus shall you say to the house of Jacob, and you shall report it to the children of Israel, You have seen that I have spoken to you from heaven.
Alò SENYÈ a te di a Moïse: “Konsa ou va pale avèk fis Israël yo: ‘Nou menm, nou gen tan wè ke Mwen te pale avèk nou depi nan syèl la.
23 You shall not make to yourselves gods of silver, and gods of gold you shall not make to yourselves.
Nou pa pou fè lòt dye apati de Mwen menm; dye an ajan, ni dye an lò, nou pa pou fè yo pou nou menm.
24 You shall make to me an altar of earth; and upon it you shall sacrifice your whole burnt offerings, and your peace-offerings, and your sheep and your calves in every place, where I shall record my name; and I will come to you and bless you.
“‘Nou va fè yon lotèl avèk tè pou Mwen, e nou va fè sakrifis sou li nan ofrann brile, ak ofrann lapè, mouton nou yo, avèk bèf nou yo. Nan chak plas kote Mwen fè non Mwen sonje, Mwen va vin kote nou, e Mwen va beni nou.
25 And if you will make to me an altar of stones, you shall not build them hewn [stones]; for you have lifted up your tool upon them, and they are defiled.
“‘Si nou fè yon lotèl avèk wòch pou mwen, nou pa pou fè l avèk wòch taye, paske si ou itilize zouti ou sou li, li vin pa sen ankò.
26 You shall not go up to my altar by steps, that you may not uncover your nakedness upon it.
Epi nou pa pou monte nan eskalye vè lotèl Mwen, pou nidite nou pa parèt a li.’”
