Deuteronomy 25
1 'When there is a strife between men, and they have come nigh unto the judgment, and they have judged, and declared righteous the righteous, and declared wrong the wrong-doer,
“Si gen yon konfli antre de mesye, epi yo ale devan tribinal lan pou jij yo deside ka yo, yo gen pou jistifye sila ki gen ladwati a, e kondane sila ki mechan an.
2 then it hath come to pass, if the wrong-doer is to be smitten, that the judge hath caused him to fall down, and [one] hath smitten him in his presence, according to the sufficiency of his wrong-doing, by number;
Konsa, li va rive ke si nonm ki mechan an, merite bat, jij la va fè li kouche, e fè bat li nan prezans li avèk fòs kantite kou ki koresponn avèk koupabilite li a.
3 forty [times] he doth smite him — he is not adding, lest, he is adding to smite him above these — many stripes, and thy brother is lightly esteemed in thine eyes.
Li kapab bat li karant fwa, men pa plis, jis pou li pa bat li avèk plis kou ke sa, epi frè nou an pa vin degrade nan zye nou.
4 'Thou dost not muzzle an ox in its threshing.
“Nou pa pou mare bouch a bèf la pandan l ap travay moulen an.
5 'When brethren dwell together, and one of them hath died, and hath no son, the wife of the dead is not without to a strange man; her husband's brother doth go in unto her, and hath taken her to him for a wife, and doth perform the duty of her husband's brother;
“Lè frè yo viv ansanm, youn nan yo mouri e li pa gen fis, madanm a sila ki mouri an p ap marye deyò fanmi an ak yon lòt mesye. Frè mari li a va antre nan li, epi pran li pou li menm kòm madanm pou fè devwa a yon frè mari a pou li.
6 and it hath been, the first-born which she beareth doth rise for the name of his dead brother, and his name is not wiped away out of Israel.
Li va rive ke premye ne ke li fè a, li va pran non a frè mouri an, pou non li pa efase soti an Israël.
7 'And if the man doth not delight to take his brother's wife, then hath his brother's wife gone up to the gate, unto the elders, and said, My husband's brother is refusing to raise up to his brother a name in Israel; he hath not been willing to perform the duty of my husband's brother;
“Men si nonm nan pa vle pran madanm frè li a, alò, madanm frè li a va monte vè pòtay kote ansyen yo e di: ‘Frè mari mwen an refize etabli yon non pou frè li an Israël. Li pa dakò pou fè devwa a frè mari mwen.’
8 and the elders of his city have called for him, and spoken unto him, and he hath stood and said, I have no desire to take her;
Alò, ansyen a vil li yo va voye li pale avèk li menm frè a. Epi si li pèsiste e li di: ‘Mwen pa vle pran li,’
9 'Then hath his brother's wife drawn nigh unto him, before the eyes of the elders, and drawn his shoe from off his foot, and spat in his face, and answered and said, Thus it is done to the man who doth not build up the house of his brother;
alò, madanm frè li a va vin vè li devan zye a ansyen yo, li va retire sandal li nan pye li, ekrache nan figi li; epi li va deklare: ‘Se konsa sa fèt a mesye ki pa bati kay frè li.’
10 and his name hath been called in Israel — The house of him whose shoe is drawn off.
An Israël, non li va rele: “Lakay a sila yo retire sapat la”.
11 'When men strive together, one with another, and the wife of the one hath drawn near to deliver her husband out of the hand of his smiter, and hath put forth her hand, and laid hold on his secrets,
“Si de mesye, yon mesye avèk yon sitwayen parèy li ap lite ansanm, si madanm nan prè pou livre mari li a sila ki ap frape li a, e lonje men l pou sezi pati jenital li,
12 then thou hast cut off her hand, thine eye doth not spare.
alò, nou va koupe men li. Nou pa pou gen pitye pou li menm.
13 'Thou hast not in thy bag a stone and a stone, a great and a small.
“Nou pa pou pote nan sak nou plizyè kalite pwa balans, yon gwo avèk yon piti.
14 Thou hast not in thy house an ephah and an ephah, a great and a small.
Nou pa pou genyen lakay nou plizyè kalite mezi, yon gwo avèk yon piti.
15 Thou hast a stone complete and just, thou hast an ephah complete and just, so that they prolong thy days on the ground which Jehovah thy God is giving to thee;
Nou va gen yon pwa balans ki bon e ki jis. Nou va gen yon mezi ki bon e ki jis, jis pou jou nou yo kapab pwolonje nan peyi ke SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an bannou an.
16 for the abomination of Jehovah thy God [is] any one doing these things, any one doing iniquity.
Paske tout moun ki fè bagay sa yo, tout moun ki aji avèk enjistis abominab a SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an.
17 'Remember that which Amalek hath done to thee in the way, in your going out from Egypt,
“Sonje sa ke Amalec te fè nou pandan nou te nan chemen pou sòti an Égypte la,
18 that he hath met thee in the way, and smiteth in all those feeble behind thee (and thou wearied and fatigued), and is not fearing God.
kijan li te rankontre nou nan chemen an e te atake pami nou tout sila ki rete dèyè yo lè nou te fatige e san fòs la. Li pa t krent Bondye.
19 And it hath been, in Jehovah thy God's giving rest to thee, from all thine enemies round about, in the land which Jehovah thy God is giving to thee — an inheritance to possess it — thou dost blot out the remembrance of Amalek from under the heavens — thou dost not forget.
“Pou sa, li va vin rive ke lè SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, vin bannou repo de tout lènmi ki antoure nou yo, nan peyi ke SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, te bannou kòm eritaj pou posede a, nou va efase memwa a Amalec soti anba syèl la. Nou pa pou bliye sa.
