Exodus 20
1 God spoke all these words:
Bondye pran pale, li di:
2 “I am Yahweh your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery.
-Se mwen menm, Seyè a, Bondye nou an, ki te fè nou soti nan peyi Lejip kote nou te esklav la.
3 You must have no other gods before me.
Piga nou gen lòt bondye pase mwen menm sèlman.
4 You must not make for yourself a carved figure nor the likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water below.
Piga nou janm fè ankenn estati ni ankenn pòtre ki sanble bagay ki anwo nan syèl la, osinon bagay ki sou latè ou ankò nan dlo anba tè a.
5 You must not bow down to them or worship them, for I, Yahweh your God, am a jealous God. I punish the ancestors' wickedness by bringing punishment on the descendants, to the third and the fourth generation of those who hate me.
Piga nou adore yo, ni piga nou sèvi yo. Paske mwen menm, Seyè a, Bondye nou an, mwen se yon Bondye ki fè jalouzi. Lè yon moun rayi m', mwen fè pitit li, pitit pitit li ak pitit pitit pitit li yo peye sa.
6 But I show covenant faithfulness to thousands of those who love me and keep my commandments.
Men, lè yon moun renmen m', lè li fè sa m' mande l' fè, m'ap moutre l' jan mwen renmen l' tou ansanm ak tout pitit pitit li yo pandan mil jenerasyon.
7 You must not take the name of Yahweh your God, in vain, for I will not hold guiltless anyone who takes my name in vain.
Piga nou sèvi mal ak non Seyè a, Bondye nou an, paske Seyè a p'ap manke pa pini moun ki sèvi mal avèk non li.
8 Remember the Sabbath day, to set it apart to me.
Toujou chonje jou repo a pou nou mete l' apa pou mwen.
9 You must labor and do all your work for six days.
N'a travay sis jou. Lè sa yo n'a fè tou sa nou gen pou fè.
10 But the seventh day is a Sabbath for Yahweh your God. On it you must not do any work, you, or your son, or your daughter, or your male servant, or your female servant, or your cattle, or the foreigner who is within your gates.
Men, setyèm jou a, se jou repo pou nou mete apa pou Seyè a, Bondye nou an. Jou sa a, nou p'ap fè ankenn travay, ni nou menm, ni pitit gason nou, ni pitit fi nou, ni moun k'ap travay lakay nou, ni bèt nou yo, ni etranje ki lakay nou.
11 For in six days Yahweh made the heavens and earth, the sea, and everything that is in them, and rested on the seventh day. Therefore Yahweh blessed the Sabbath day and set it apart.
Paske, Seyè a te pran sis jou pou l' fè syèl la, latè a ak lanmè a ansanm ak tou sa ki ladan yo. Apre sa, sou setyèm jou a, li pran repo. Se poutèt sa, Seyè a beni jou repo a, li mete l' apa pou li.
12 Honor your father and your mother, so that you may live a long time in the land that Yahweh your God is giving you.
Respekte manman nou ak papa nou pou nou ka viv lontan nan peyi Seyè a, Bondye nou an, ban nou an.
13 You must not murder anyone.
Piga nou touye moun.
14 You must not commit adultery.
Piga nou fè adiltè.
15 You must not steal from anyone.
Piga nou pran sa ki pa pou nou.
16 You must not give false testimony against your neighbor.
Piga nou bay manti sou frè parèy nou.
17 You must not covet your neighbor's house; you must not covet your neighbor's wife, his male servant, his female servant, his ox, his donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor.”
Piga nou pote lanvi sou sa ki pa pou nou: ni sou kay frè parèy nou, ni sou madanm li, ni sou moun k'ap sèvi lakay li, ni sou bèf li, ni sou bourik li, ni sou ankenn lòt bagay ki pou frè parèy nou.
18 All the people saw the thundering and the lightning, and heard the voice of the trumpet, and saw the mountain smoking. When the people saw it, they trembled and stood far off.
Lè pèp la tande bri loraj la ak son twonpèt la, lè yo wè kout zèklè sou kout zèklè, ak mòn lan ki t'ap pouse lafimen, yo tranble sitèlman yo te pè. Yo ret kanpe byen lwen.
19 They said to Moses, “Speak to us, and we will listen; but do not let God speak to us, or we will die.”
Yo di Moyiz konsa: -Pito se ou menm ki pale ak nou, n'a koute sa w'ap di. Men, si se Bondye ki pou pale avèk nou, n'a mouri.
20 Moses said to the people, “Do not be afraid, for God has come to test you so that the honor of him may be in you, and so that you do not sin.”
Moyiz di pèp la: -Nou pa bezwen pè. Bondye vini pou wè kote nou ye avèk li. Li vle pou nou toujou gen krentif pou li, pou nou pa lage kò nou nan fè peche.
21 So the people stood far off, and Moses approached the thick darkness where God was.
Men pèp la rete kanpe byen lwen. Sèl Moyiz te pwoche kote nwaj nwa a kote Bondye te ye a.
22 Yahweh said to Moses, “This is what you must tell the Israelites: 'You yourselves have seen that I have talked with you from heaven.
Seyè a di Moyiz: -Men sa pou ou di moun pèp Izrayèl yo: Nou wè ki jan mwen ret nan syèl la pou m' pale ak nou.
23 You will not make for yourselves other gods alongside me, gods of silver or gods of gold.
Piga n al fè lòt bondye an ajan osinon an lò pou nou sèvi yo ansanm avè m'.
24 You must make an earthen altar for me, and you must sacrifice on it your burnt offerings, fellowship offerings, sheep, and oxen. In every place where I cause my name to be honored, I will come to you and bless you.
N'a bati yon lòtèl an tè pou mwen. Se sou li n'a ofri bèt n'a touye pou boule nèt yo ak bèt n'a touye pou di mèsi. Se sou li n'a ofri mouton ak bèf nou yo. Chak kote m'a di nou pou nou fè sèvis pou mwen, m'a vin jwenn nou la, m'a beni nou.
25 If you make me an altar of stone, you must not build it of cut stones, for if you use your tools on it, you will have defiled it.
Si nou fe yon lòtèl ak ròch pou mwen, pa travay ròch n'a pran pou fè l' la. Paske lè ou travay yon ròch ak sizo, li pa ka sèvi pou mwen ankò.
26 You must not go up to my altar on steps, so that your nakedness is not exposed.'”
Piga nou sèvi ak macheskalye pou nou moute sou lòtèl mwen pou moun pa wè anba rad nou.
