Deuteronomy 15
1 'At the end of seven years thou dost make a release,
“Nan fen chak sèt ane, nou va bay yon remisyon pou dèt yo.
2 and this [is] the matter of the release: Every owner of a loan [is] to release his hand which he doth lift up against his neighbour, he doth not exact of his neighbour and of his brother, but hath proclaimed a release to Jehovah;
Se konsa remisyon an va ye: tout moun ki prete yon moun yo va bliye sa ke li te prete vwazen li an. Li pa pou egzije li a vwazen li ni frè li, akoz remisyon an te pwoklame.
3 of the stranger thou mayest exact, and that which is thine with thy brother doth thy hand release;
“A yon etranje, nou gen dwa egzije li; men nou va bliye nenpòt sa ki pou nou avèk frè nou.
4 only when there is no needy one with thee, for Jehovah doth greatly bless thee in the land which Jehovah thy God is giving to thee — an inheritance to possess it.
Sepandan, p ap gen malere pami nou, (akoz SENYÈ a va, anverite, beni nou nan peyi ke SENYÈ Bondye nou an, ap bannou kòm yon eritaj pou posede)
5 'Only, if thou dost diligently hearken to the voice of Jehovah thy God, to observe to do all this command which I am commanding thee to-day,
si sèlman ou koute avèk obeyisans a vwa SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, pou swiv avèk atansyon tout kòmandman sila ke mwen ap kòmande nou jodi a.
6 for Jehovah thy God hath blessed thee as He hath spoken to thee; and thou hast lent [to] many nations, and thou hast not borrowed; and thou hast ruled over many nations, and over thee they do not rule.
“Paske SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, va beni nou jan Li te pwomèt nou an. Nou va prete a anpil nasyon, men nou p ap prete nan men yo. Nou va domine sou anpil nasyon, men yo p ap domine sou nou.
7 'When there is with thee any needy one of one of thy brethren, in one of thy cities, in thy land which Jehovah thy God is giving to thee, thou dost not harden thy heart, nor shut thy hand from thy needy brother;
“Si gen yon malere pami nou, youn nan frè nou yo, nan nenpòt vil nou yo nan peyi ke SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, ap bannou an, nou pa pou fè kè nou di, ni sere men nou kont frè malere a.
8 for thou dost certainly open thy hand to him, and dost certainly lend him sufficient for his lack which he lacketh.
Men nou va louvri men nou byen laj vè li, e nou va prete a li avèk jenewozite sa ki sifi pou li nan nenpòt sa li manke.
9 'Take heed to thee lest there be a word in thy heart — worthless, saying, Near [is] the seventh year, the year of release; and thine eye is evil against thy needy brother, and thou dost not give to him, and he hath called concerning thee unto Jehovah, and it hath been in thee sin;
“Fè atansyon pou nou pa vin gen yon lide mechan nan kè nou ki di: ‘Setyèm ane a, lane pou remisyon an prè;’ epi zye nou vin move kont frè nou ki malere a, pou nou pa ba li anyen. Alò, konsa li kab kriye a SENYÈ a kont nou, epi sa va peche nan nou.
10 thou dost certainly give to him, and thy heart is not sad in thy giving to him, for because of this thing doth Jehovah thy God bless thee in all thy works, and in every putting forth of thy hand;
Nou va ba li avèk jenewozite, san fè kè tris lè nou ba li. Paske pou bagay sa a, SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, va beni nou nan tout travay nou ak tout sa ke nou antreprann.
11 because the needy one doth not cease out of the land, therefore I am commanding thee, saying, Thou dost certainly open thy hand to thy brother, to thy poor, and to thy needy one, in thy land.
“Paske malere yo p ap janm sispann la nan peyi a. Akoz sa, mwen kòmande nou, e di: ‘Nou va louvri men nou byen laj a frè malere nou yo avèk pòv nan peyi nou yo.’
12 'When thy brother is sold to thee, a Hebrew or a Hebrewess, and he hath served thee six years — then in the seventh year thou dost send him away free from thee.
“Si moun peyi parèy nou yo, yon Ebre, gason oswa fanm, vann a nou menm, alò, li va sèvi nou pandan sis ane, men nan setyèm ane a, nou va ba li libète.
13 And when thou dost send him away free from thee, thou dost not send him away empty;
Lè nou lage li, nou p ap voye li ale men vid.
14 thou dost certainly encircle him out of thy flock, and out of thy threshing-floor, and out of thy wine-vat; [of] that which Jehovah thy God hath blessed thee thou dost give to him,
Nou va byen founi li soti nan bann mouton an, rekòlt jaden ak nan sitèn diven an. Nou va ba li jan SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, te beni nou an.
15 and thou hast remembered that a servant thou hast been in the land of Egypt, and Jehovah thy God doth ransom thee; therefore I am commanding thee this thing to-day.
Nou va sonje ke nou te esklav nan peyi Égypte la, e SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, te peye ranson nou. Pou sa, mwen kòmande nou sa, jodi a.
16 'And it hath been, when he saith unto thee, I go not out from thee — because he hath loved thee, and thy house, because [it is] good for him with thee —
“Li va vin rive ke si li di nou: “Mwen p ap sòti kite nou,” paske li renmen nou avèk tout lakay nou, akoz ke sa mache byen pou li avèk nou;
17 then thou hast taken the awl, and hast put [it] through his ear, and through the door, and he hath been to thee a servant age-during; and also to thy handmaid thou dost do so.
alò, nou va pran yon pik byen file pou pèse zòrèy li nèt antre nan poto pòt la, epi li va sèvitè nou nèt. Osi, nou va fè menm bagay la avèk sèvant yo.
18 'It is not hard in thine eyes, in thy sending him away free from thee; for the double of the hire of an hireling he hath served thee six years, and Jehovah thy God hath blessed thee in all that thou dost.
Li p ap sanble li difisil pou nou lè nou lage li, paske li te bannou sis ane nan doub sèvis yon anplwaye. Konsa, SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, va beni nou nan nenpòt sa nou fè.
19 'Every firstling that is born in thy herd and in thy flock — the male thou dost sanctify to Jehovah thy God; thou dost not work with the firstling of thine ox, nor shear the firstling of thy flock;
“Nou va konsakre a SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, tout mal premye ne ki fèt nan twoupo oswa bann mouton nou yo. Nou p ap travay avèk premye ne nan twoupo nou, ni taye lenn nan premye ne nan bann mouton an.
20 before Jehovah thy God thou dost eat it year by year, in the place which Jehovah doth choose, thou and thy house.
Nou avèk tout lakay nou va manje li chak ane devan SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, nan kote ke SENYÈ a chwazi a.
21 'And when there is in it a blemish, lame, or blind, any evil blemish, thou dost not sacrifice it to Jehovah thy God;
“Men si li gen yon defo, tankou bwate, avèg, oswa nenpòt gwo defo, nou pa pou fè sakrifis li bay SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an.
22 within thy gates thou dost eat it, the unclean and the clean alike, as the roe, and as the hart.
Nou va manje li anndan pòtay nou yo. Pa pwòp la avèk pwòp la menm jan an, tankou yon kabrit mawon oswa yon sèf.
23 Only, its blood thou dost not eat; on the earth thou dost pour it as water.
Sèlman, nou p ap bwè san li. Nou dwe vide li atè tankou dlo.
