Deuteronomy 24
1 When a man taketh a woman, and marrieth her, then shall it be, if she find not favour in his eyes, because he hath found in her some matter of shame, that he shall write her a scroll of divorcement, and put it into her hand, and shall send her forth, out of his house.
Si yon nonm marye ak yon fanm epi rive yon lè fanm lan pa fè l' plezi ankò, paske li dekouvri nan fanm lan yon bagay ki pa byen, l'a ekri yon papye divòs bay fanm lan, epi l'a voye l' tounen lakay papa l'.
2 And, when she cometh forth out of his house, then may she go her way, and become another man’s.
Apre sa, si fanm lan kite kay papa l', l' al marye ak yon lòt gason,
3 But if the latter husband hate her, and write her a scroll of divorcement and put it into her hand, and send her away out of his house, —or, if the latter husband die, who had taken her to him to wife,
sipoze dezyèm mari a tou ta rive pa vle wè l', epi li ekri yon lèt divòs ba li, epi li voye l' tounen lakay papa l' ankò, osinon sipoze dezyèm mari a ta rive mouri,
4 then may her first husband who sent her away not again take her to become his wife after that she hath been defiled, for that were an abomination, before Yahweh, —lest thou bring sin upon the land which Yahweh thy God is giving unto thee for an inheritance.
lè sa a, premye mari a p'ap ka marye avè l' ankò. Se pou li konsidere fanm lan tankou yon moun ki pa nan kondisyon pou sèvi Bondye. Paske si li marye avè l' apre sa, l'ap fè yon bagay Seyè a pa vle wè. Piga nou rale madichon sou peyi Seyè a, Bondye nou an, ap ban nou pou rele nou pa nou an.
5 When a man taketh a new wife, he shall not go forth to war, neither shall he be charged with any business, —free, shall he be for his own house one year, and shall rejoice with his wife whom he hath taken.
Si yon nonm fèk marye, li pa fèt pou l' al nan lagè, ni yo pa bezwen mande l' fè ankenn travay nan sèvis piblik pandan ennan. Konsa, pandan tan sa a, l'a lib pou l' rete lakay li pou l' fè kè madanm li kontan.
6 No man shall take in pledge a handmill, or an upper millstone, —for he would be taking life, in pledge.
Lè n'ap prete yon moun lajan, nou pa gen dwa pran de wòl moulen li yo, pa menm yon sèl ladan yo, pou garanti. Si nou fè sa, se tankou si se te lavi moun lan menm nou te pran pou garanti.
7 When a man is found stealing any person from among his brethren of the sons of Israel, and making merchandise of him, or selling him, then shall that thief die, so shalt thou consume the wicked thing out of thy midst.
Si yo bare yon moun pèp Izrayèl ap kenbe yon moun pèp Izrayèl parèy li pou fè l' tounen esklav li osinon pou l' vann li, se pou yo touye l'. Se konsa n'a wete bagay mal k'ap fèt nan mitan nou.
8 Take heed, in the plague of leprosy, that thou observe diligently, and do, —according to all that the priests the Levites shall direct you, as I have commanded them, so shall ye observe to do.
Lè gen yon ka move maladi po, se pou nou sèten yo fè tou sa moun Levi yo mande fè. Se pou nou swiv tout regleman mwen te ba yo sou sa.
9 Remember that which Yahweh thy God did to Miriam, —by the way, as ye came forth out of Egypt.
Pa janm bliye sa Seyè a, Bondye nou an, te fè Miryam, lè nou t'ap soti kite peyi Lejip la.
10 When thou lendest thy neighbour a loan of anything, thou shalt not enter into his house to secure his pledge:
Lè n'ap prete yon moun yon lajan sou garanti, nou pa gen dwa antre lakay li pou n' al pran sa l'ap ban nou pou garanti a.
11 outside, shalt thou stand, and the man to whom thou art lending, shall bring forth unto thee his pledge outside,
N'a rete deyò, n'a tann li pote garanti a ban nou deyò a.
12 And, if he be a poor man, thou shalt not sleep in his pledge:
Si se yon nonm ki pòv, pa kite rad li ban nou pou garanti a pase nwit lakay nou.
13 thou shalt, restore, to him the pledge at the going in of the sun, so shall he sleep in his own mantle, and bless thee, —and, unto thee, shall it be righteousness before Yahweh thy God.
Se pou nou tounen l' ba li lè solèy kouche, pou l' ka mete l' sou li lè l'ap dòmi. L'a genyen nou rekonesans, epi nou menm nou va fè yon bon zèv devan Seyè a, Bondye nou an.
14 Thou shalt not oppress a hired servant that is poor and needy, —of thy brethren or of thy sojourners that are in thy land, within thy gates;
Piga nou peze yon pòv malere k'ap travay pou lajan l', li te mèt yon moun pèp Izrayèl parèy nou, li te mèt yon moun lòt nasyon k'ap viv nan peyi a nan yonn nan lavil nou yo.
15 for his day, shalt thou give his hire neither shall the sun, go in upon it, for, poor, he is, and, unto it, is he lifting up his soul, —lest he cry out against thee, unto Yahweh, and it be, in thee a sin.
Peye l' lajan l' chak jou, anvan solèy kouche, paske li pòv, li bezwen lajan an pou l' viv. Konsa, li p'ap bezwen rele Seyè a pou nou. Men, si sa rive, se nou menm k'ap antò.
16 Fathers shall not be put to death for sons, nor shall sons, be put to death for fathers, —every man, for his own sin, shall he put to death.
Nou pa gen dwa touye yon papa pou krim pitit li fè. Ni nou pa gen dwa touye yon pitit pou krim papa l' te fè. Y'a touye yon moun pou krim li menm li fè.
17 Thou shalt not pervert the judgment of the sojourner [or] the fatherless, —neither shalt thou take in pledge the garment of a widow;
Pa fè ankenn moun lòt nasyon k'ap viv nan mitan nou lenjistis. Respekte dwa timoun ki san papa. Pa pran rad yon vèv an garanti pou lajan nou prete l'.
18 so shalt thou remember that, a servant, becamest thou in Egypt, and that Yahweh thy God, redeemed thee, from thence, —therefore, am I commanding thee to do this thing.
Chonje nou menm tou nou te esklav nan peyi Lejip. Se Seyè a menm, Bondye nou an, ki te delivre nou. Se poutèt sa mwen mande nou pou nou swiv regleman sa a.
19 When thou cuttest down thy harvest in thy field and forgettest a sheaf in the field, thou shalt not turn back to fetch it, to the sojourner, to the fatherless, and to the widow, shall it belong, —that Yahweh thy God, may bless thee, in all the Work of thy hands.
Lè n'ap ranmase rekòt ble nan jaden nou epi nou bliye ranmase kèk grap ki tonbe atè, pa tounen al pran yo. N'a kite yo pou moun lòt nasyon k'ap viv nan mitan nou, pou timoun san papa ak fanm ki pèdi mari yo. N'a fè sa pou Seyè a, Bondye nou an, ka beni nou nan tou sa n'ap fè.
20 When thou beatest thine olive-tree, thou shalt not glean after thee, —to the sojourner to the fatherless and to the widow, shall it belong,
Lè n'ap keyi grenn oliv, nou pa bezwen pase yon dezyèm fwa pou keyi sa ki te rete yo. N'a kite yo pou moun lòt nasyon k'ap viv nan mitan nou yo, pou timoun san papa ak pou fanm ki pèdi mari yo.
21 When thou cuttest off the grapes of thy vineyard, thou shalt not go about picking after thee, —to the sojourner to the fatherless and to the widow, shall it belong:
Lè nou fin koupe grap rezen nan jaden nou yo, pa tounen yon dezyèm fwa anba chak pye rezen pou repase branch yo. Sa ki va rete a, n'a kite yo pou moun lòt nasyon k'ap viv nan mitan nou yo, pou timoun ki san papa ak pou fanm ki pèdi mari yo.
22 so shalt thou remember that a servant, becamest thou in the land of Egypt, —therefore, am I commending thee to do this thing.
Se pou nou toujou chonje yon lè nou te esklav nan peyi Lejip. Se poutèt sa mwen mande non pou nou swiv lòd mwen ban nou la a.
