Deuteronomy 23
1 He that is wounded in the testicles, or hath his privy member cut, shall not enter into the congregation of the Lord.
“Nanpwen pèsòn avèk boul grenn li kraze oswa koupe ki va antre nan asanble SENYÈ a.
2 One born from prohibited connections shall not enter into the congregation of the Lord; even the tenth generation of him shall not enter into the congregation of the Lord.
Nanpwen pèsòn ki ne nan yon relasyon ilejitim ki va antre nan asanble SENYÈ a. Ni okenn nan desandan li yo menm jis rive nan dizyèm jenerasyon p ap antre nan asanble SENYÈ a.
3 An 'Ammonite and a Moabite shall not enter into the congregation of the Lord; even the tenth generation of him shall not enter into the congregation of the Lord, for ever;
Nanpwen Amonit ni Moabit ki va antre nan asanble SENYÈ a. Okenn nan desandan li yo menm jis rive nan dizyèm jenerasyon p ap antre nan asanble SENYÈ a,
4 For the reason, that they met you not with bread and with water on the way, when ye came forth out of Egypt; and because he hired against thee Bil'am the son of Beor of Pethor in Mesopotamia, to curse thee;
akoz yo pa t vin jwenn nou avèk manje ak dlo lè nou te sòti an Égypte la, epi akoz yo te achte sèvis Balaam, fis Beor ki sòti Pethor nan Mésopotamie pou modi nou.
5 But the Lord thy God would not hearken unto Bil'am; and the Lord thy God changed unto thee the curse into a blessing, because the Lord thy God loved thee.
Sepandan, SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, pa t dakò tande Balaam. Men SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, te vire madichon an pou l devni yon benediksyon pou nou akoz SENYÈ nou an renmen nou.
6 Thou shalt not seek their peace and their welfare all thy days, for ever.
Nou pa pou chache lapè pou yo, ni pwosperite yo pandan tout jou nou yo.
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.
Nou pa pou meprize yon Edomit, paske li se frè nou. Nou pa pou meprize yon Ejipsyen, paske nou te yon etranje nan peyi li.
8 The children that are born unto them in the third generation, may enter of them into the congregation of the Lord.
Fis a twazyèm jenerasyon ki fèt pou yo a kapab antre nan asanble SENYÈ a.
9 When thou goest forth into camp against thy enemies, then keep thyself from every evil thing.
Lè nou sòti kòm yon lame kont lènmi nou yo, nou va evite tout kalite move bagay.
10 If there be among thee any man, that is not clean by reason of an occurrence by night; then shall he go abroad to without the camp, he shall not come within the camp;
Si gen pami nou, yon nonm ki pa pwòp akoz li ejakile nan lannwit; alò, li oblije ale deyò kan an. Li pa kapab reantre nan kan an,
11 But it shall be, that toward evening he shall bathe himself in water; and when the sun goeth down, he may come into the midst of the camp.
men li va fèt ke lè aswè rive, li va benyen tèt li avèk dlo. Konsa, lè solèy kouche, li kapab reantre nan kan an.
12 And a place shalt thou have without the camp, whither thou shalt go forth abroad:
Ou va, osi, gen yon kote deyò kan an; epi se la ou gen pou ou ale pou eliminen pèsonèl.
13 And a spade shalt thou have with thy weapons: and it shall be, when thou sittest abroad, that thou shalt dig therewith, and shalt afterward cover that which cometh from thee;
Konsa, nou va genyen yon pèl pami zouti nou yo, epi li va fèt ke lè nou chita deyò a, nou va fouye avèk li, e nou va kouvri poupou nou.
14 For the Lord thy God walketh in the midst of thy camp, to deliver thee and to give up thy enemies before thee; therefore shall thy camp be holy; that he see no unseemly thing in thee, and turn away from thee.
Akoz SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, mache nan mitan kan nou yo pou delivre nou, e venk lènmi nou yo devan nou; pou sa, fòk kan nou yo sen. Fòk Li pa wè anyen ki pa pwòp pami nou; oswa, Li va vire kite nou.
15 Thou shalt not deliver unto his master the servant who may escape unto thee from his master;
Nou pa pou lonje remèt yon esklav ki te kouri kite mèt li pou rive kote nou.
16 With thee shall he dwell, in the midst of thee, in the place which he may choose in any one of thy gates, where it seemeth best to him: thou shalt not oppress him.
Li va viv avèk nou nan mitan nou, nan yon kote li chwazi pami youn nan vil pa nou yo ki fè l plezi. Nou pa pou maltrete li.
17 There shall not be a prostitute of the daughters of Israel, and there shall not be a sodomite of the sons of Israel.
Okenn nan fi Israël yo p ap sèvi kòm pwostitiye nan tanp payen yo. Ni okenn nan fis Israël yo p ap sèvi pou pwostitiye nan tanp payen 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 both of these are equally an abomination unto the Lord thy God.
Nou pa pou mennen salè a yon pwostitiye ni frè jounalye a yon chen pede pou antre lakay SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, pou okenn ofrann ve; paske toude sa yo abominab a SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an.
19 Thou shalt not take interest from thy brother, interest of money, interest of victuals, interest of any thing that is lent upon interest:
Nou pa pou mande enterè lajan a sitwayen parèy nou yo: enterè sou lajan, manje, oswa nenpòt bagay ki kapab prete ak enterè.
20 From an alien thou mayest take interest; but from thy brother thou shalt not take interest; in order that the Lord thy God may bless thee in all the acquisition of thy hand, in the land whither thou goest to possess it.
Nou kapab tire enterè sou yon etranje; men pou sitwayen parèy nou, nou pa pou mande enterè, jis pou SENYÈ, Bondye nou an, kapab beni nou nan tout sa ke nou eseye fè nan peyi ke nou prèt pou antre posede a.
21 When thou makest a vow unto the Lord thy God, thou shalt not delay to pay it; for the Lord thy God will surely require it of thee; and it would be sin in thee.
Lè nou fè yon ve a SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, nou p ap pran reta pou peye li, paske sa ta yon peche nan ou, e SENYÈ, Bondye nou an, va, anverite, egzije l nan men nou.
22 But if thou forbear to vow, it shall be no sin in thee.
Sepandan, si nou te evite fè ve a, sa pa t ap peche nan nou.
23 What is gone out of thy lips shalt thou keep and perform, as thou hast vowed unto the Lord thy God voluntarily, as thou hast spoken with thy mouth.
Nou va fè atansyon pou fè tout sa ki sòti nan lèv nou. Nenpòt jan ke nou te fè ve selon volonte SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, tout sa nou oblije fè.
24 When thou comest into thy neighbor's vineyard, thou mayest eat grapes at thy own pleasure, till thou have enough; but into thy vessel shalt thou not put any.
Lè nou antre nan chan rezen vwazen nou, nou kapab manje rezen yo jiskaske vant nou plen; men nou pa pou mete nan panyen nou.
25 When thou comest into the standing corn of thy neighbor, thou mayest pluck ears with thy hand; but a sickle shall thou not move over thy neighbor's standing corn.
Lè nou antre nan chan sereyal ki pou vwazen nou, nou gen dwa rekòlte tèt grenn yo avèk men nou; men nou pa kapab voye kouto a nan rekòlt sereyal a vwazen nou an.
