Exodus 22
1 'When a man doth steal an ox or sheep, and hath slaughtered it or sold it, five of the herd he doth repay for the ox, and four of the flock for the sheep.
Si yon moun vòlò yon bèf osinon yon mouton, si li touye l' epi li vann li, li gen pou l' bay senk bèf pou bèf li pran an osinon kat mouton pou mouton li pran an.
2 'If in the breaking through, the thief is found, and he hath been smitten, and hath died, there is no blood for him;
Si yo bare yon vòlè ap kase yon kay epi yo touye l', moun ki touye l' la pa koupab.
3 if the sun hath risen upon him, blood [is] for him, he doth certainly repay; if he have nothing, then he hath been sold for his theft;
Men, si sa rive apre solèy fin leve, moun ki touye l' la koupab. Li gen pou l' peye pou li, wè pa wè. Si li pa gen anyen, y'a vann li pou yo ka peye pou sa l' te vòlò a.
4 if the theft is certainly found in his hand alive, whether ox, or ass, or sheep — double he repayeth.
Men, si yo jwenn bèt li te vòlò a vivan nan men l' toujou, kit se bèf, kit se kabrit, kit se bourik, l'a renmèt de pou yonn.
5 'When a man depastureth a field or vineyard, and hath sent out his beast, and it hath pastured in the field of another, [of] the best of his field, and the best of his vineyard, he doth repay.
Si yon moun kite bèt li manje nan jaden yon lòt, osinon nan jaden rezen li, si yon moun kite bèt li lage pou yo fè kont dega nan jaden yon lòt moun, li gen pou l' dedonmaje lòt moun lan. L'a ba li pi bon bagay li gen nan jaden pa l' la osinon nan jaden rezen l' yo.
6 'When fire goeth forth, and hath found thorns, and a stack, or the standing corn, or the field, hath been consumed, he who causeth the burning doth certainly repay.
Si yon dife pran yon kote, li tonbe nan zèb chèch epi li rive boule danre ki nan depo, osinon grenn ki fin keyi, ou ankò yon jaden tou plante, moun ki lakòz dife a va peye yon dedomajman.
7 'When a man doth give unto his neighbour silver, or vessels to keep, and it hath been stolen out of the man's house; if the thief is found, he repayeth double.
Si yon moun pran lajan l' osinon yon bagay ki gen anpil valè, li bay yon lòt moun sere l' pou li, si yo rive vòlò bagay sa yo nan kay moun ki te sere yo a, si yo jwenn vòlè a, vòlè a va gen pou renmèt de fwa lavalè.
8 'If the thief is not found, then the master of the house hath been brought near unto God, whether he hath not put forth his hand against the work of his neighbour;
Men, si yo pa jwenn vòlè a, y'a mennen mèt kay kote bagay yo te sere a devan lòtèl Bondye a, pou yo wè si se pa li menm ki te pran bagay lòt moun lan.
9 for every matter of transgression, for ox, for ass, for sheep, for raiment, for any lost thing of which it is said that it is his; unto God cometh the matter of them both; he whom God doth condemn, he repayeth double to his neighbour.
Si yon moun pèdi yon bagay, kit se yon bèf, osinon yon bourik, ou ankò yon mouton, kit se yon rad ou nenpòt lòt bagay, si lè yo jwenn sak te pèdi a yon lòt moun pretann di se pou li li ye, y'a mennen yo tou de devan lòtèl Bondye a pou regle sa. Moun Bondye va kondannen an va gen pou l' bay lòt la de fwa lavalè pou dedomajman.
10 'When a man doth give unto his neighbour an ass, or ox, or sheep, or any beast to keep, and it hath died, or hath been hurt, or taken captive, none seeing —
Si yon moun bay yon frè parèy li gade yon bourik, yon bèf, yon mouton, ou ankò nenpòt ki lòt bèt pou li, si bèt la mouri osinon si malè rive l' ou ankò si piyajè pran l' san pesonn pa wè sa,
11 an oath of Jehovah is between them both, that he hath not put forth his hand against the work of his neighbour, and its owner hath accepted, and he doth not repay;
lè sa a, y'a mande ni mèt bèt la ni gadò a pou yo fè sèman devan lòtèl Bondye a. Moun ki t'ap gade bèt la va deklare se pa li menm ki te pran bèt lòt moun lan. Lè sa a, mèt bèt la va asepte pèt la. Gadò a p'ap gen ankenn dedomajman pou l' bay.
12 but if it is certainly stolen from him, he doth repay to its owner;
Men si se vòlò yo te vòlò bèt la nan men l', l'a gen pou l' peye mèt la kichòy.
13 if it is certainly torn, he bringeth it in — a witness; the torn thing he doth not repay.
Si se bèt nan bwa ki devore bèt la, l'a pote rès la pou mèt bèt la ka wè ak de je l' se pa manti l'ap ba li. Li p'ap gen anyen pou l' peye pou sa.
14 'And when a man doth ask [anything] from his neighbour, and it hath been hurt or hath died — its owner not being with it — he doth certainly repay;
Si yon moun prete yon bèt nan men yon frè parèy li, epi malè rive bèt la, osinon li mouri an absans mèt li, se pou l' peye mèt bèt la kichòy.
15 if its owner [is] with it, he doth not repay, — if it [is] a hired thing, it hath come for its hire.
Men, si mèt la te la lè malè a rive, moun lan pa gen anyen pou l' peye. Si se yon bèt li te lwe, se pri li te lwe l' la ase pou li bay.
16 'And when a man doth entice a virgin who [is] not betrothed, and hath lain with her, he doth certainly endow her to himself for a wife;
Si yon nonm pran tèt yon jenn fi ki poko fiyanse, epi li kouche avè l', li gen pou l' peye lajan yo konn bay pou yon maryaj, epi se pou l' marye ak jenn fi a.
17 if her father utterly refuse to give her to him, money he doth weigh out according to the dowry of virgins.
Men, si papa jenn fi a refize kite l' marye avè l', tout jan se pou msye peye lajan yo bay lè yo pral marye ak yon fi ki tifi.
18 'A witch thou dost not keep alive.
Se pou nou touye tout fanm k'ap fè maji.
19 'Whoever lieth with a beast is certainly put to death.
Se pou yo touye tout moun ki kwaze ak zannimo.
20 'He who is sacrificing to a god, save to Jehovah alone, is devoted.
Si yon moun ofri bèt pou yo touye pou lòt bondye pase Seyè a, se pou yo disparèt li tankou bèt y'ap ofri bay Bondye.
21 'And a sojourner thou dost not oppress, nor crush him, for sojourners ye have been in the land of Egypt.
Piga nou maltrete moun lòt nasyon ki vin rete nan peyi nou. Piga nou peze yo non plis, paske nou menm, chonje nou te etranje tou nan peyi Lejip.
22 'Any widow or orphan ye do not afflict;
Piga nou maltrete ni vèv yo, ni timoun san papa yo.
23 if thou dost really afflict him, surely if he at all cry unto Me, I certainly hear his cry;
Si nou malmennen yo, m'ap reponn yo lè y'a rele mande m' sekou.
24 and Mine anger hath burned, and I have slain you by the sword, and your wives have been widows, and your sons orphans.
m'a fache, m'a fè nou mouri nan lagè. Konsa, madanm nou yo ap vin vèv tou, pitit nou yo ap rete san papa tou.
25 'If thou dost lend My poor people with thee money, thou art not to him as a usurer; thou dost not lay on him usury;
Si nou prete yonn nan frè parèy nou yo lajan, yonn nan pòv ki nan mitan nou yo, piga nou fè tankou moun k'ap bay ponya pou nou egzije l' peye enterè.
26 if thou dost at all take in pledge the garment of thy neighbour, during the going in of the sun thou dost return it to him:
Si yon nonm plane levit li lakay ou pou ou prete l' yon ti kòb, se pou ou renmèt li rad li anvan solèy kouche.
27 for it alone is his covering, it [is] his garment for his skin; wherein doth he lie down? and it hath come to pass, when he doth cry unto Me, that I have heard, for I [am] gracious.
Paske, se sèl rad li gen pou l' mete sou li pou fredi pa bat li. Kisa pou l' mete sou li pou l' kouvri aswè? Si li rele mande m' sekou, m'a reponn li paske mwen gen bon kè.
28 'God thou dost not revile, and a prince among thy people thou dost not curse.
Piga nou pale Bondye mal. Piga nou bay chèf pèp la madichon.
29 'Thy fulness and thy liquids thou dost not delay; the first-born of thy sons thou dost give to Me;
Pa pran reta pou n' ofri m' sa pou n' ofri m' nan rekòt danre nou yo ak nan diven nou. n'a ban mwen premye pitit gason nou yo.
30 so thou dost to thine ox, to thy sheep; seven days it is with its dam, on the eighth day thou dost give it to Me.
N'a ban mwen tou premye pitit bèf nou yo ak premye pitit mouton nou yo. Ti bèt la va pase sèt jou avèk manman l'. Sou wityèm jou a n'a ofri l' ban mwen.
31 'And ye are holy men to Me, and flesh torn in the field ye do not eat, to a dog ye do cast it.
Se pou nou mache tankou moun k'ap viv apa pou mwen. Pa manje vyann bèt nou jwenn lòt bèt nan bwa devore. Vyann konsa se chen pou nou jete l' bay.
