Deuteronomy 16
1 Observe the month of Abib, and prepare the passover-sacrifice unto the Lord thy God; for in the month of Abib did the Lord thy God bring thee forth out of Egypt by night.
Lè mwa Abib la va rive, se pou nou fete fèt delivrans lan pou Seyè a, Bondye nou an, paske se yon jou lannwit konsa, nan mwa Abib la, Seyè a, Bondye nou an, te fè nou soti kite peyi Lejip la.
2 And thou shalt sacrifice the passover-offering unto the Lord thy God of sheep and oxen, in the place which the Lord will choose to let his name dwell there.
Pou fèt delivrans lan, n'a ofri bèf, kabrit ak mouton pou yo touye pou Seyè a, Bondye nou an, kote li te chwazi pou yo adore l' la.
3 Thou shalt not eat therewith any leavened bread: seven days shalt thou eat therewith unleavened bread, the bread of affliction; for in haste didst thou go forth out of the land of Egypt; in order that thou mayest remember the day of thy going forth out of the land of Egypt all the days of thy life.
Lè n'ap manje vyann bèt nou touye pou mwen an, nou pa pou manje pen fèt ak ledven avè l'. Pandan sèt jou, n'a manje pen fèt san ledven, pen malere, paske se prese prese nou te soti kite peyi Lejip la. Konsa, n'a toujou chonje tout tray nou te pase jou nou t'ap soti kite peyi Lejip la.
4 And there shall not be seen with thee any leaven in all thy borders seven days: neither shall there any of the flesh, which thou sacrificedst in the evening, on the first day, remain all night until the morning.
Pandan sèt jou sa yo, pesonn nan peyi nou an pa gen dwa gen ledven lakay li. Epi nan vyann nou te ofri pou mwen nan aswè premye jou a, pa kite anyen pase nwit pou denmen maten.
5 Thou mayest not slay the passover within any of thy gates, which the Lord thy God giveth thee;
Nou p'ap gen dwa touye bèt nou ofri pou delivrans lan nan ankenn lavil Seyè a va ban nou pou nou rete.
6 But at the place which the Lord thy God will choose to let his name dwell in, there shalt thou slay the passover at evening, at the going down of the sun, at the season that thou camest forth out of Egypt.
Se va sèlman kote Seyè a te chwazi pou fè sèvis pou li a n'a touye bèt delivrans lan nan aswè apre solèy fin kouche, paske se yon lè konsa nou te soti kite peyi Lejip.
7 And thou shalt roast and eat it in the place which the Lord thy God will choose; and thou shalt turn in the morning, and go unto thy tents.
N'a kwit vyann bèt nou te ofri a epi n'a manje l' kote Seyè a te chwazi a. Apre sa, nan maten, n'a vire do nou, n'a tounen lakay nou.
8 Six days shalt thou eat unleavened bread; and on the seventh day shall be a solemn assembly to the Lord thy God: thou shalt do no work.
Pandan sis jou, n'a manje pen fèt san ledven. Sou setyèm jou a, n'a reyini tout moun pou fè gwo sèvis pou Seyè a, Bondye nou an. Jou sa a, nou p'ap fè ankenn travay.
9 Seven weeks shalt thou number unto thyself: from the time thou beginnest to put the sickle to the corn, shalt thou begin to number seven weeks.
N'a konte sèt senmenn apre premye jou nou konmanse ranmase rekòt grenn nan jaden nou yo.
10 And thou shalt keep the feast of weeks unto the Lord thy God with a tribute of a freewill-offering of thy hand, which thou shalt give: according as the Lord thy God shall have blessed thee.
Apre sa, n'a fete Fèt Senmenn yo pou di Seyè a, Bondye nou an, mèsi. N'a pote ba li ofrann n'a vle dapre sa Seyè a va ban nou nan favè li.
11 And thou shalt rejoice before the Lord thy God, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, and thy man-servant, and thy maid-servant, and the Levite that is within thy gates, and the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow, that are in the midst of thee, in the place which the Lord thy God will choose to let his name dwell there.
N'a fè fèt devan Seyè a, Bondye nou an, kote li te chwazi pou fè sèvis pou li a, nou menm, pitit gason ak pitit fi nou yo, domestik nou yo, fanm kou gason, ansanm ak moun Levi yo ak moun lòt nasyon yo, timoun ki san papa ak fanm vèv k'ap viv ansanm ak nou nan lavil kote nou rete a.
12 And thou shalt remember that thou hast been a bond-man in Egypt; and thou shalt observe and do these statutes.
N'a toujou chonje nou menm tou yon lè nou te esklav nan peyi Lejip. Se poutèt sa n'a toujou obeyi tout lwa sa yo.
13 The feast of tabernacles shalt thou hold for thyself seven days, when thou hast gathered in the produce of thy threshing-floor and of thy wine-press:
Lè n'a fin moulen grenn jaden nou yo, lè n'a fin kraze rezen nou yo, n'a fè fèt Joupa yo pandan sèt jou.
14 And thou shalt rejoice on thy feast, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, and thy man-servant, and thy maid-servant, and the Levite, and the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow, that are within thy gates.
N'a pran kont plezi nou, nou menm, pitit gason ak pitit fi nou yo, ansanm ak moun Levi yo ak moun lòt nasyon yo, timoun ki san papa ak fanm vèv ki rete nan lavil kote nou ye a.
15 Seven days shalt thou keep a solemn feast unto the Lord thy God in the place which the Lord will choose; because the Lord thy God will bless thee in all thy product, and in all the work of thy hands, and thou shalt only rejoice.
Pandan sèt jou, n'a fè fèt pou Seyè a, Bondye nou an, kote li menm li te chwazi a, paske Seyè a, Bondye nou an, te beni nou nan tout rekòt nou yo, ak nan tout travay nou yo pou nou te ka kontan nèt ale.
16 Three times in the year shall every one of thy males appear before the Lord thy God in the place which he will choose: on the feast of unleavened bread, and on the feast of weeks, and on the feast of tabernacles; and no one shall appear before the Lord empty;
Twa fwa chak lanne, pou fèt Delivrans lan, pou fèt Premye Rekòt la ak pou fèt Joupa yo, chak gason nan peyi a va vin adore Seyè a, Bondye nou an, kote Seyè a te chwazi pou fè sèvis pou li a. Yo p'ap gen dwa vini de men vid.
17 Every man according to what his hand can give, according to the blessing of the Lord thy God which he hath given thee.
Men, yo chak va bay kichòy, dapre benediksyon Seyè a, Bondye nou an, va ba yo.
18 Judges and officers shalt thou appoint unto thyself in all thy gates, which the Lord thy God giveth thee, throughout thy tribes: and they shall judge the people with a just judgment.
N'a mete jij ak majistra nan chak lavil Seyè a, Bondye nou an, va ban nou pou dirije tout branch fanmi nou yo. Y'a fè travay yo san patipri.
19 Thou shalt not wrest judgment; thou shalt not respect persons, and thou shalt not take a bribe; for the bribe blindeth the eyes of the wise, and perverteth the words of the righteous.
Piga yo fè ankenn lenjistis. Piga yo gade sou figi moun pou jije yo. Piga yo pran lajan anba nan men pesonn paske lajan konsa ka anpeche menm moun ki gen konprann wè klè, li ka fè nou kondannen moun inonsan.
20 Justice, only justice shalt thou pursue; in order that thou mayest live, and retain possession of the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee.
Pa janm kite anyen anpeche nou rann jistis jan nou dwe fè l' la. Konsa, n'a kapab viv, n'a kapab pran peyi Seyè a, Bondye nou an, ap ban nou an pou nou.
21 Thou shalt not plant unto thyself a grove, any tree, near the altar of the Lord thy God, which thou shalt make unto thyself.
Piga nou janm plante ankenn poto Achera ni ankenn pyebwa repozwa pou sèvi nou zidòl bò kote lòtèl n'ap bati pou Seyè a, Bondye nou an.
22 Neither shalt thou set thee up any statue, which the Lord thy God hateth.
Piga nou janm mete wòch kanpe pou fè sèvis zidòl. Seyè a pa vle wè bagay konsa menm.
