Exodus 23
1 You shall not receive a vain report: you shall not agree with the unjust [man] to become an unjust witness.
Ou pa pou pote yon fo rapò. Pa jwenn men ou avèk yon moun mechan pou devni yon move temwen.
2 You shall not associate with the multitude for evil; you shall not join yourself with a multitude to turn aside with the majority so as to shut out judgment.
Ou pa pou swiv foul la nan fè mechanste, ni ou pa pou fè temwen nan yon pwosè k ap vire pou swiv foul la pou ou kapab fè lajistis vin konwonpi.
3 And you shall not spare a poor man in judgment.
Ni ou p ap apiye vè yon malere pou bay li avantaj nan pwosè a.
4 And if you meet your enemy's ox or his ass going astray, you shall turn them back and restore them to him.
Si ou rankontre bèf, oswa bourik a lènmi ou k ap pati, anverite, ou va remèt li bay mèt li.
5 And if you see your enemy's ass fallen under its burden, you shall not pass by it, but shall help to raise it with him.
Si ou wè bourik a yon moun ki rayi ou, k ap kouche anba gwo chaj, ou p ap abandone li nan pwoblèm nan, men ou va ede l dechaje li.
6 You shall not wrest the sentence of the poor in his judgment.
Ou pa pou konwonpi lajistis ki se dwa a yon malere nan pwosè li.
7 You shall abstain from every unjust thing: you shall not kill the innocent and just, and you shall not justify the wicked for gifts.
Rete lwen yon fo pwosè, e pa touye inosan an oswa moun ki dwat la, paske Mwen p ap jistifye koupab la.
8 And you shall not receive gifts; for gifts blind the eyes of the seeing, and corrupt just words.
Ou pa pou pran lajan anba tab, paske kòb anba tab ap avegle sila ki wè klè yo, e konwonpi kòz sila ki jis yo.
9 And you shall not afflict a stranger, for you know the heart of a stranger; for you were yourselves strangers in the land of Egypt.
Ou pa pou oprime yon etranje, paske nou konnen pozisyon a yon etranje, konsi, nou osi te etrange nan peyi Égypte la.
10 Six years you shall sow your land, and gather in the fruits of it.
Ou va simen tè ou pou sis ane, e rekòlte donn li,
11 But in the seventh year you shall let it rest, and leave it, and the poor of your nation shall feed; and the wild beasts of the field shall eat that which remains: thus shall you do to your vineyard and to your oliveyard.
men nan setyèm ane a ou va kite li san fè anyen pou l kab pran repo. Konsa, malere pami pèp nou an kapab manje, epi nenpòt sa yo menm ta kite, ap rete pou bèt chan yo. Ou ap fè menm bagay la avèk chan rezen e avèk chan oliv ou yo.
12 Six days shall you do your works, and on the seventh day there shall be rest, that your ox and your ass may rest, and that the son of your maidservant and the stranger may be refreshed.
Pandan sis jou ou va fè travay ou, men nan setyèm jou a, ou va sispann fè travay pou bèf ou avèk bourik ou kapab repoze, ansanm avèk fis esklav femèl ou a, ak etranje ou a tou, kapab repoze.
13 Observe all things whatever I have commanded you; and you shall make no mention of the name of other gods, neither shall they be heard out of your mouth.
Alò, konsènan tout sa ke M te pale avèk nou yo, pran atansyon pou fè yo. Konsa, pa nonmen non a lòt dye yo, ni kite yo tande pawòl sa yo sòti nan bouch nou.
14 Keep you a feast to me three times in the year.
Twa fwa pa ane nou va selebre yon fèt pou Mwen.
15 Take heed to keep the feast of unleavened bread: seven days you shall eat unleavened bread, as I charged you at the season of the month of new [corn], for in it you came out of Egypt: you shall not appear before me empty.
Nou va obsève fèt Pen San Ledven an. Pandan sèt jou nou va manje pen san ledven an, jan Mwen te kòmande nou an, nan tan ki apwente nan mwa Abib la, paske nan li nou te sòti an Égypte. Epi okenn moun pèsòn p ap parèt devan M men vid.
16 And you shall keep the feast of the harvest of first fruits of your labors, whatever you shall have sown in your field, and the feast of completion at the end of the year in the gathering in of your fruits out of your field.
Osi nou va obsève fèt Mwason Premye Fwi a travay nou yo, nan sa ke nou te simen nan chan, anplis, fèt rekòlt nan fen ane a lè nou fin ranmase tout fwi travay nan jaden nou yo.
17 Three times in the year shall all your males appear before the Lord your God.
Twa fwa pa lane tout mal nou yo va parèt devan SENYÈ Bondye a.
18 For when I shall have cast out the nations from before you, and shall have widened your borders, you shall not offer the blood of my sacrifice with leaven, neither must the fat of my feast abide till the morning.
Nou pa pou ofri san a sakrifis Mwen ansanm avèk pen ledven. Ni grès fèt Mwen an pa pou pase lannwit pou rive nan maten.
19 You shall bring the first-offerings of the first fruits of your land into the house of the Lord your God. You shall not seethe a lamb in its mother's milk.
Nou va pote pi bon nan premye fwi latè yo antre nan kay SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an. Nou pa pou bouyi yon jèn kabrit nan lèt manman li.
20 And, behold, I send my angel before your face, that he may keep you in the way, that he may bring you into the land which I have prepared for you.
“Gade byen, Mwen ap voye yon zanj devan nou pou pwoteje nou pandan nou nan chemen an, e pou mennen nou antre nan plas ke M te prepare pou nou an.
21 Take heed to yourself and listen to him, and disobey him not; for he will not give way to you, for my name is on him.
Rete vijilan devan li, e obeyi vwa li. Pa fè rebelyon anvè li, paske li p ap padone peche nou yo, paske non Mwen nan li.
22 If you will indeed hear my voice, and if you will do all the things I shall charge you with, and keep my covenant, you shall be to me a peculiar people above all nations, for the whole earth is mine; and you shall be to me a royal priesthood, and a holy nation: these words shall you speak to the children of Israel, If you shall indeed hear my voice, and do all the things I shall tell you, I will be an enemy to your enemies, and an adversary to your adversaries.
“Men si nou vrèman obeyi vwa li, e fè tout sa ke M pale nou yo, alò, Mwen va vin lènmi ak lènmi pa nou yo, e advèsè pou advèsè nou yo.
23 For my angel shall go as your leader, and shall bring you to the Amorite, and Chettite, and Pherezite, and Chananite, and Gergesite, and Evite, and Jebusite, and I will destroy them.
Paske zanj Mwen va ale devan nou pou mennen nou nan peyi Amoreyen yo, Etyen yo, Ferezyen yo, Kananeyen yo, Evityen yo, ak Jebisyen yo. Epi Mwen va detwi yo nèt.
24 You shall not worship their gods, nor serve them: you shall not do according to their works, but shall utterly destroy them, and break to pieces their pillars.
“Nou pa pou adore dye pa yo, ni sèvi yo, ni fè selon zèv pa yo, men nou va boulvèse yo nèt e nou va kraze pilye sakre pa yo an mòso.
25 And you shall serve the Lord your God, and I will bless your bread and your wine and your water, and I will turn away sickness from you.
Men nou va sèvi SENYÈ a Bondye nou an, e Li va beni pen nou, ak dlo nou; epi Mwen va retire maladi pami nou.
26 There shall not be on your land one that is impotent or barren. I will surely fulfil the number of your days.
P ap gen foskouch oswa moun esteril nan peyi nou. Mwen va fin ranpli fòs kantite jou ke n ap viv yo.
27 And I will send terror before you, and I will strike with amazement all the nations to which you shall come, and I will make all your enemies to flee.
“Mwen va voye laperèz Mwen devan nou. Mwen va jete nan konfizyon tout pèp pami sila nou parèt yo, e Mwen va fè tout lènmi nou yo ban nou do.
28 And I will send hornets before you, and you shall cast out the Amorites and the Evites, and the Chananites and the Chettites from you.
Mwen va voye gèp devan nou pou yo pouse mete deyò tout Evityen yo, Kananeyen yo, ak Etyen yo devan nou.
29 I will not cast them out in one year, lest the land become desolate, and the beasts of the field multiply against you.
Mwen p ap pouse yo deyò nan yon sèl ane, pou peyi a pa vin dezole, e pou bèt chan yo pa vin twòp pou nou.
30 By little [and little] I will cast them out from before you, until you shall be increased and inherit the earth.
Mwen va pouse yo deyò devan nou mòso pa mòso jiskaske nou vin gran, e posede peyi a.
31 And I will set your borders from the Red Sea, to the sea of the Phylistines, and from the wilderness to the great river Euphrates; and I will give into your hand those that dwell in the land, and will cast them out from you.
“Mwen va etabli bòn nou yo soti nan Lamè Wouj, jis rive nan lanmè Filisten yo, soti savann nan pou rive nan larivyè Lefrat paske Mwen va livre abitan peyi yo nan men nou, e nou va pouse yo ale devan nou.
32 You shall make no covenant with them and their gods.
“Nou pa pou fè okenn akò avèk yo, ni avèk dye pa yo.
33 And they shall not dwell in your land, lest they cause you to sin against me; for if you should serve their gods, these will be an offense to you.
Yo p ap viv nan peyi nou, paske yo va fè nou peche kont Mwen; paske si nou sèvi dye pa yo, sa va vrèman vin yon pèlen pou nou.”
