Deuteronomy 25
1 If there is a controversy between men, and they come to judgment, and the judges judge them; then they shall justify the righteous, and condemn the wicked;
Lè yon kont pete nan mitan nou, moun ki gen kont yo va ale lajistis pou yo jije ka a. Y'a bay sa ki gen rezon an rezon, sa ki gen tò a tò.
2 and it shall be if the wicked man deserves to be beaten, that the judge shall make him lie down and be beaten in his presence with a number of stripes, according to his guilt.
Si sa ki gen tò a merite bat, jij la va fè l' kouche plat atè, epi, l'a devan je l', l'a fè yo ba li kantite kou li merite pou sa l' fè a.
3 He may give him forty stripes and no more. Otherwise, if he should go on and beat him with more stripes than these, your brother will be humiliated in your eyes.
Nou pa janm gen dwa depase karant kou. Si nou ba li plis, nou ka pini l' twòp. Lè sa a, n'a avili l' devan tout moun.
4 You shall not muzzle the ox when he treads out the grain.
Nou pa bezwen mare bouch bèf la pou enpoze l' manje lè l'ap vire moulen pou kraze ble pou nou.
5 If brothers dwell together, and one of them die, and have no son, the wife of the dead shall not be married outside to a stranger: her husband's brother shall go in to her, and take her to him as wife, and perform the duty of a husband's brother to her.
Lè de frè rete ansanm nan menm kay, si yonn ladan yo rive mouri san li pa kite pitit, madan defen an pa ka al marye ak yon moun ki pa nan fanmi an. Se va devwa bòfrè a pou l' al jwenn vèv la pou l' marye ak li.
6 It shall be, that the firstborn whom she bears shall succeed in the name of his brother who is dead, that his name not be blotted out of Israel.
Premye pitit gason madanm lan va fè a va pote non frè ki mouri a pou non l' pa pèdi nan peyi Izrayèl la.
7 If the man doesn't want to take his brother's wife, then his brother's wife shall go up to the gate to the elders, and say, "My husband's brother refuses to raise up to his brother a name in Israel; he will not perform the duty of a husband's brother to me."
Men, si nonm lan pa vle marye ak bèlsè li a, bèlsè a va moute nan tribinal bò pòtay lavil la, epi l'a di chèf fanmi yo: Bòfrè mwen an derefize fè devwa l'. Li pa vle konsève non frè li nan peyi Izrayèl la. Li refize marye avè m', jan lalwa peyi a mande l' fè l' la.
8 Then the elders of his city shall call him, and speak to him: and if he stand, and say, "I do not want to take her";
Lè sa a, chèf fanmi ki nan lavil la va fè rele nonm lan vin jwenn yo epi y'a pale avè l'. Si li derefize marye avèk bèlsè a,
9 then his brother's wife shall come to him in the presence of the elders, and loose his shoe from off his foot, and spit in his face; and she shall answer and say, "So shall it be done to the man who does not build up his brother's house."
bèlsè a va mache sou li, devan tout chèf fanmi yo, l'a wete yon grenn sapat nan pye nonm lan, l'a krache nan figi l', epi l'a di: -Men sa ki pou rive yon nonm ki refize bay frè li yon pitit.
10 His name shall be called in Israel, The house of him who has his shoe untied.
Nan peyi Izrayèl la, y'a rele fanmi nonm sa a: fanmi nonm grenn sapat la.
11 When men strive together one with another, and the wife of the one draws near to deliver her husband out of the hand of him who strikes him, and puts forth her hand, and takes him by the private parts;
Si pandan de gason nan moun Izrayèl yo ap goumen, madanm yonn nan yo pwoche pou l' sove mari l' anba men lòt k'ap bat li a, epi li lonje men l', li kenbe lòt lan nan pati li,
12 then you shall cut off her hand, your eye shall have no pity.
se pou nou san pitye pou li: koupe men l' la pou la.
13 You shall not have in your bag diverse weights, a great and a small.
Nou pa gen dwa gen de kalite pwa nan sakit nou pou pran pèz, yonn ki bon, yonn ki pa bon,
14 You shall not have in your house diverse measures, a great and a small.
ni de kalite mezi lakay nou, yonn ki bon ak yonn ki pa bon.
15 You shall have a perfect and just weight. You shall have a perfect and just measure, that your days may be long in the land which the LORD your God gives you.
N'a toujou sèvi ak bon mezi, san wete san mete. Se konsa n'a ka viv lontan nan peyi Seyè a, Bondye nou an, ap ban nou an.
16 For all who do such things, all who do unrighteously, are an abomination to the LORD your God.
Paske Seyè a pa vle wè moun k'ap fè bagay konsa, moun k'ap fè lenjistis.
17 Remember what Amalek did to you by the way as you came forth out of Egypt;
Pa janm bliye sa Amalèk te fè nou lè nou te sou wout nou ap soti nan peyi Lejip.
18 how he met you by the way, and struck the hindmost of you, all who lagged behind you, when you were faint and weary; and he did not fear God.
Yo pa t' gen krentif Bondye. Yo vin kontre nou sou chemen nou. Lè sa a nou te bouke, kò nou te kraze, epi yo pase pa dèyè, yo touye tout moun ki t'ap trennen dèyè yo.
19 Therefore it shall be, when the LORD your God has given you rest from all your enemies all around, in the land which the LORD your God gives you for an inheritance to possess it, that you shall blot out the memory of Amalek from under the sky; you shall not forget.
Se poutèt sa, lè Seyè a, Bondye nou an, va ban nou lapè ak tout lènmi sa yo ki antoure nou toupatou nan peyi l'ap ban nou pou rele nou pa nou an, se pou nou touye tout moun Amalèk yo pou pesonn sou latè pa janm chonje yo ankò. Pa bliye sa!
