Deuteronomy 21

1 If it will be found [one] slain in the land which Yahweh God your [is] about to give to you to take possession of it lying in the open country not it is known who? did he strike him.

Si nan peyi Seyè a, Bondye nou an, te ban nou pou n' rete a, nou rive jwenn kadav yon moun yo sasinen nan yon jaden, san nou pa konnen ki moun ki fè sa,

2 And they will go out elders your and judges your and they will measure to the cities which [are] around the [one] slain.

chèf fanmi yo ak jij yo va soti, y'a mezire distans ki genyen ant kote yo jwenn kadav la ak lavil ki toupre yo.

3 And it will be the city near to the [one] slain and they will take [the] elders of the city that a heifer of [the] herd which not it has been worked by it which not it has dragged by a yoke.

Y'a wè lavil ki pi pre a. Le sa a, chèf fanmi ki reskonsab lavil ki pi pre kote yo te jwenn kadav la va pran yon jenn ti gazèl bèf ki poko janm sèvi pou fè ankenn travay.

4 And they will bring down [the] elders of the city that the heifer to a wadi ever-flowing which not it is tilled in it and not it is sown and they will break [the] neck of there the heifer in the wadi.

Y'a mennen l' bò yon larivyè ki pa janm chèch, nan yon pozisyon kote tè a pa janm travay ni sekle. Epi se la y'a kase kou l'.

5 And they will draw near the priests [the] sons of Levi for them he has chosen Yahweh God your to serve him and to bless in [the] name of Yahweh and on mouth their it will be every dispute and every wound.

Apre sa, prèt yo, pitit Levi yo, va vini, paske se yo menm Seyè a, Bondye nou an, te chwazi pou fè sèvis pou li ak pou beni pèp la nan non li. Se yo menm ki pou bay dènye mo a lè gen diskisyon, lè gen san deyò.

6 And all [the] elders of the city that near to the [one] slain they will wash hands their over the heifer broken necked in the wadi.

Apre sa, chèf fanmi ki reskonsab lavil ki pi pre kote yo te jwenn kadav la va lave men yo ak dlo anwo gazèl yo te touye a.

7 And they will answer and they will say hands our not (they shed *Q(K)*) the blood this and eyes our not they saw.

Y'a di: Se pa nou ki touye moun sa a, ni nou pa wè ki moun ki fè krim sa a.

8 Make atonement for people your Israel which you ransomed O Yahweh and may not you put blood innocent in [the] midst of people your Israel and it will be atoned for for them the blood.

Seyè! Ou menm ki te delivre moun Izrayèl yo anba moun peyi Lejip yo, padonnen pèp ou a. Pa rann nou reskonsab lanmò yon inonsan yo touye. Bondye va padonnen krim ki fèt la.

9 And you you will remove the blood innocent from midst your for you will do the right in [the] eyes of Yahweh.

Se konsa, n'a fè sa Seyè a te ban nou lòd fè a, yo p'ap rann nou reskonsab lanmò inonsan yo touye a.

10 If you will go out to war on enemies your and he will give him Yahweh God your in hand your and you will take captive captive[s] his.

Lè n'ap fè lagè ak lènmi nou yo epi Seyè a, Bondye nou an, fè nou genyen yo, li fè nou fè anpil prizonye,

11 And you will see among the [female] captive[s] a woman beautiful of appearance and you will love her and you will take [her] for yourself to a wife.

si yonn nan nou wè pami prizonye yo yon bèl fanm, epi li tonbe damou pou li, l'a gen dwa pran l' pou madanm li.

12 And you will bring her into [the] middle of house your and she will shave head her and she will attend to finger-nails her.

L'a mennen l' lakay li. Fanm lan va koupe tout cheve nan tèt li, l'a koupe tout zong dwèt ak tout zong pye l' yo,

13 And she will remove [the] clothing of captivity her from on her and she will dwell in house your and she will weep for father her and mother her a month of days and after thus you will go into her and you will be husband her and she will become of you a wife.

l'a wete rad ki te sou li lè yo te fè l' prizonye a. L'a rete anndan kay nonm lan pandan yon mwa ap kriye pou papa l' ak manman l'. Apre sa, nonm lan va pwoche bò kote l', l'a marye avè l', l'a pran l' pou madanm li.

14 And it will be if not you delight in her and you will let go her for self her and certainly not you will sell her for money not you will treat as a slave her because that you have humiliated her.

Si apre sa, rive yon lè nonm lan pa renmen l' ankò, l'a kite l' al fè wout li. Li p'ap ka vann li pou lajan, ni li pa ka aji avè l' tankou yon esklav, paske se fòse li te fòse l' vin madanm li.

15 If they will belong to a man two wives the one [is] loved and the one [is] hated and they will bear to him sons the loved [one] and the hated [one] and he will belong the son the firstborn to the hated [wife].

Sipoze yon nonm ki gen de madanm, gen yonn li renmen plis pase lòt epi tou de madanm yo fè pitit gason pou li. Men, premye pitit gason l' lan twouve se pitit fanm li renmen mwens lan li ye.

16 And it will be on [the] day causes to inherit he sons his [that] which it will belong to him not he will be able to treat as firstborn [the] son the loved [one] on [the] face of [the] son of the hated [one] the firstborn.

Lè lè a va rive pou l' separe byen l' yo bay pitit li yo, li p'ap ka fè patipri pou l' pran pitit gason fanm li pi renmen an pou l' ba li pòsyon ki pou ale pou premye pitit gason an, pòsyon ki pou pitit gason fanm li renmen mwens lan.

17 That the firstborn [the] son of the hated [one] he will acknowledge by giving to him a mouth of two in all that it will be found to him for he [is] [the] beginning of manly vigor his [belongs] to him [the] claim of the birthright.

Wè pa wè, se pou l' respekte dwa premye pitit gason l' lan, dwa pitit gason fanm li renmen mwens lan. L'a ba li de fwa lavalè sa li gen pou l' bay chak lòt pitit li yo, paske se li menm ki premye pitit gason li te fè lè li te jenn gason. Se li ki gen tout dwa yon premye pitit gason genyen.

18 If he will belong to anyone a son stubborn and rebellious not he [is] listening to [the] voice of father his and to [the] voice of mother his (and they will discipline *L(abh)*) him and not he will listen to them.

Si yonn nan nou gen yon pitit gason ki radi, ki gen tèt di, ki pa vle koute ni manman l' ni papa l' lè y'ap pale ak li, yo te mèt bat li, sa antre nan yon zòrèy soti nan lòt la,

19 And they will seize him father his and mother his and they will bring out him to [the] elders of city his and to [the] gate of place his.

manman l' ak papa l' va kenbe l', y'a trennen l' devan chèf fanmi yo, nan tribinal ki bò pòtay lavil kote yo rete a.

20 And they will say to [the] elders of city his son our this [is] stubborn and rebellious not he [is] listening to voice our a glutton and a drunkard.

Epi y'a di yo: Men pitit gason nou an. Nou mennen l' ban nou paske li radi, l'ap fè wondonmon, li pa vle koute lè n'ap pale avè l'. L'ap gaspiye tout lajan nou nan bweson, li nan tout kalite vis.

21 And they will stone him all [the] men of city his with stones and he will die and you will remove the evil from midst your and all Israel they will hear and they may fear.

Lè sa a, tout gason ki rete nan lavil la va kalonnen l' wòch jouk yo touye l'. Se konsa n'a wete bagay mal sa a ki t'ap fèt nan mitan nou an. Tout moun nan pèp Izrayèl la va konn sa, y'a mache sou piga yo.

22 And if it will be in anyone a sin of a sentence of death and he will be put to death and you will hang him on a tree.

Si yo kondannen yon moun pou yon krim li fè, epi lè yo fin touye l', yo pann kadav la nan yon pyebwa,

23 Not it will remain overnight corpse his on the tree for certainly you will bury him on the day that for [is] a curse of God [one who] is hanged and not you will make unclean land your which Yahweh God your [is] about to give to you an inheritance.

pa janm kite kadav la pase nwit sou pyebwa a. Se pou nou antere l' menm jou a, paske yon kadav pann nan yon pyebwa se bagay ki pa fè Bondye plezi. Se konsa nou p'ap kite yo fè ankenn vye bagay ki pou fè Seyè a, Bondye nou an, vire do ban nou nan peyi Seyè a pral ban nou pou nou rete a.
