< Exodus 23 >
1 Thou schalt not resseyue a vois of leesyng, nether thou schalt ioyne thin hond, that thou seie fals witnessyng for a wickid man.
Piga nou fè manti sou frè parèy nou. Lè n'ap sèvi temwen, piga nou bay manti pou ede yon mechan.
2 Thou schalt not sue the cumpanye to do yuel, nether thou schalt ascente to the sentence of ful many men in doom, that thou go awey fro treuthe.
Pa konprann pou nou fè sa ki mal paske nou wè se sa tout moun ap fè. Lè n'ap sèvi temwen nan yon pwose, piga nou pran pati pou bò ki gen plis moun lan lè nou konnen se yo ki antò.
3 Also thou schalt not haue mercy of a pore man in a `cause, ethir doom.
Konsa tou, lè gen pwose, se pa paske yon moun pòv pou nou pran pati pou li.
4 If thou meetist `the oxe of thin enemye, ethir the asse errynge, lede thou ayen to hym.
Si nou pa byen ak yon moun, epi nou jwenn bèf li osinon bourik li ki kase kòd, se pou nou mennen l' ba li.
5 If thou seest that the asse of hym that hatith thee liggyth vndir a burthun, thou schalt not passe, but thou schalt reise with hym.
Si nou pa byen ak yon moun, epi nou wè bourik li kouche anba yon chay, pa vire do nou kite l' pou kont li. Se pou nou ede l' fè bourik la kanpe.
6 Thou schalt not bowe in the doom of a pore man.
Lè yon malere nan pwose, pa anpeche yo fè l' jistis.
7 Thou schalt fle a lesyng. Thou schalt not sle an innocent man, and iust; for Y am aduersarie to a wickid man.
Evite fè manti sou moun pou akize yo. Moun inonsan ak moun ki nan dwa yo, piga nou fè touye yo, paske mwen p'ap padonnen moun ki fè bagay konsa.
8 Take thou not yiftis, that blynden also prudent men, and destryen the wordys of iust men.
Lè n'ap sèvi temwen nan yon kòz, pa pran lajan anba nan men moun, paske lajan konsa bouche je nou, li fè nou pa wè kote jistis la ye. Li fè moun ki pa antò a pèdi kòz li.
9 Thou schalt not be diseseful to a pilgrym, for ye knowen the soulis of comelyngis, for also ye weren pilgryms in the lond of Egipt.
Piga nou aji mal ak moun lòt nasyon k'ap viv nan peyi a. Paske, nou menm tou, yon lè, nou te etranje nan peyi Lejip, kifè nou konnen sa ki rele viv nan lòt peyi.
10 Sixe yeer thou schalt sowe thi lond, and thou schalt gadre fruytis therof;
Pandan sizan n'a travay tè a, epi n'a ranmase sa li bay.
11 forsothe in the seuenthe yeer thou schalt leeue it, and schalt make to reste, that the pore men of thi puple ete, and what euer is residue, the beestis of the feeld ete; so thou schalt do in thi vyner, and in place of olyue trees.
Men, sou setyèm lanne a, n'a kite tè a poze. Menm si li bay kichòy, nou p'ap ranmase anyen sou li. N'a kite rekòt la pou pòv malere yo. Rès la va rete pou bèt nan bwa manje. N'a fè menm bagay la tou pou jaden rezen ak jaden oliv nou yo.
12 Sixe dayes thou schalt worche, in the seuenthe dai thou schalt ceesse, that thin oxe and asse reste, and the sone of thin handmaide, and the comelyng be refreischid.
N'a travay sis jou. Men setyèm jou a, n'a sispann travay, n'a pran repo. Konsa, bèf nou yo ak bourik nou yo, moun k'ap sèvi avèk nou yo ansanm ak etranje ki lakay nou yo va ka pran repo tou.
13 Kepe ye alle thingis, whiche Y seide to you; and ye schulen not swere bi the name of alien goddis, nether it schal be herd of youre mouth.
Se pou nou swiv tou sa mwen sot di nou la a. Pa lapriyè lòt bondye, piga mwen tande non yo soti nan bouch nou.
14 In thre tymes bi alle yeeris ye schulen halewe feestis to me.
Twa fwa chak lanne, n'a fè fèt pou mwen.
15 Thou schalt kepe the solempnyte of therf looues; seuene daies thou schalt ete therf breed, as Y comaundide to thee, in the tyme of monethe of newe thingis, whanne thou yedist out of Egipt; thou schalt not appere voide in my siyt.
N'a fè fèt Pen san ledven yo. Jan mwen te ban nou lòd la, n'a manje pen san ledven pandan sèt jou nan epòk yo fikse nan mwa Abib la. Paske se nan mwa sa a nou te soti kite peyi Lejip. Lè sa a, nou p'ap gen dwa parèt devan m' de men vid.
16 And thou schalt kepe the solempnete of the monethe of the firste thingis of thi werk, what euer thingis thou hast sowe in the feeld. Also thou schalt kepe the solempnyte in the goyng out of the yeer, whanne thou hast gaderid all thi fruytis of the feeld.
Apre sa, n'a fete fèt Premye Rekòt la lè nou fèk konmanse rekòlte grenn nou simen nan jaden nou yo. N'a fete fèt Dènye Rekòt la menm vè fen lanne a, lè n'ap fin rekòlte tou sa ki nan jaden nou yo.
17 Thries in the yeer al thi male kynde schal appere bifore thi Lord God.
Twa fwa chak lanne, tout gason nan pèp la va parèt devan mwen menm Seyè a, Bondye a.
18 Thou schalt not offre the blood of thi slayn sacrifice on sour douy; nether the fatnesse of my solempnete schal dwelle til to the morewtid.
Lè n'ap touye yon bèt pou mwen, piga nou ofri san an ansanm ak pen ki fèt ak ledven. Piga nou sere grès bèt la tout lannwit jouk denmen maten.
19 Thou schalt bere the firste thingis of the fruytis of thi lond in to the hows of thi Lord God. Thou schalt not sethe a kide in the mylke of his modir.
N'a pran pi bèl fwi nan premye rekòt jaden nou, n'a pote yo bay Seyè a, Bondye nou an, lakay li, Piga ou kwit yon ti kabrit nan lèt manman li.
20 Lo! Y schal sende myn aungel, that schal go bifore thee, and schal kepe in the weie, and schal lede to the place which Y haue maad redi to thee.
Men m'ap voye yonn nan zanj mwen yo devan nou pou pwoteje nou sou wout la, pou l' fè nou rive san danje kote mwen pare pou nou an.
21 Take thou hede to hym, and here thou his vois, nether gesse thou hym to be dispisid; for he schal not foryyue, whanne thou synnest, and my name is in him.
Veye kò nou devan li. Koute sa l'ap di nou. Pa kenbe tèt avè l'. Si nou fè sa, li p'ap padonnen nou sa paske se nan non mwen l'ap fè tou sa l'ap fè a.
22 For if thou herest his vois, and doist alle thingis whiche Y speke, Y schal be enemy to thin enemyes, and Y schal turment hem, that turmenten thee;
Men, si nou koute sa li di nou, si nou fè tou sa mwen di nou fè, m'ap rayi moun ki rayi nou, mwen p'ap vle wè moun ki pa vle wè nou.
23 and myn aungel schal go bifore thee, and he schal lede yn thee to Amorrei, and Ethei, and Ferezei, and Cananey, and Euey, and Jebusei, whiche Y schal breke.
Zanj mwen an va mache devan nou, l'ap mennen nou nan peyi moun Amori yo, peyi moun Et yo, peyi moun Ferezi yo, peyi moun Kanaran yo, peyi moun Evi yo ak peyi moun Jebis yo. M'ap detwi yo tout.
24 Thou schalt not onoure `the goddis of hem, nether thou schalt worschipe hem; thou schalt not do the werkis of hem, but thou schalt destrie the goddis, and thou schalt breke the ymagis of hem.
Piga nou mete ajenou devan bondye lòt nasyon yo. Piga nou janm sèvi yo. Pa fè menm jan ak moun lòt nasyon yo. Se pou nou detwi bondye yo nèt, se pou nou kraze tout moniman yo fè pou yo.
25 And ye schulen serue to youre Lord God, that Y blesse thi looues, and watris, and do awei sikenesse fro the myddis of thee;
Se mwen menm Seyè a, Bondye nou an, pou nou sèvi. M'ap beni nou, m'ap ban nou manje pou n' manje, dlo pou nou bwè. Mwen p'ap kite maladi tonbe sou nou.
26 neithir a womman vnfruytful, neither bareyn, schal be in thi lond; Y schal fille the noumbre of thi daies.
Nan peyi nou an p'ap gen fanm k'ap fè foskouch, ni fanm ki p'ap ka fè pitit. M'ap kite nou viv jouk nou fin granmoun.
27 Y schal sende my drede in to thi biforgoyng, and Y schal sle al the puple, to which thou schalt entre, and Y schal turne the backis of alle thin enemyes bifore thee;
M'ap fè tout moun pè nou. Kote nou pase, m'ap fè moun pèdi tèt yo. M'ap fè tout lènmi nou yo pran rak devan nou.
28 and Y schal sende out bifore scrabrouns, that schulen dryue awei Euey, and Cananey, and Ethei, bifore that thou entre.
m'a voye gwo gèp devan nou, y'a fè moun Evi yo, moun Kanaran yo ak moun Et yo kouri byen lwen nou.
29 Y schal not caste hem out fro thi face in o yeer, lest the lond be turned in to wildirnesse, and beestis encreesse ayens thee;
Mwen p'ap fè yo ale tout ansanm yon sèl kou, yon sèl lanne, pou peyi a pa tounen savann, pou bèt nan bwa yo pa vin twòp pou nou.
30 litil and litil I schal caste hem out fro thi siyt, til thou be encreessid, and welde the loond.
Men, piti piti m'ap mete yo deyò, jouk n'a gen plis moun pou nou ka pran tout peyi a pou nou.
31 Forsothe Y schal sette thi termys fro the reed see til to the see of Palestyns, and fro desert til to the flood. Y schal yyue to youre hondis the dwelleris of the lond, and Y schal caste hem out fro youre siyt;
M'ap fè fwontyè peyi nou an konmanse depi sou lanmè Wouj la rive jouk sou lanmè Mediterane, depi sou dezè a al bat sou larivyè Lefrat la. M'ap lage tout moun nan peyi a anba men nou, n'ap chase yo met deyò devan nou.
32 thou schalt not make boond of pees with hem, nethir with `the goddis of hem.
Piga nou pase ankenn kontra ak moun sa yo, ni ak bondye yo.
33 Dwelle thei not in thi lond, lest perauenture thei make thee to do synne ayens me, yf thou seruest her goddis, which thing certis schal be to thee in to sclaundir.
Se pa pou yo rete nan peyi nou an, pou yo pa ankouraje nou fè peche kont mwen. Si nou sèvi bondye moun sa yo, sa ka yon malè pou nou.
