Deteronòm 16
1 Lè mwa Abib la va rive, se pou nou fete fèt delivrans lan pou Seyè a, Bondye nou an, paske se yon jou lannwit konsa, nan mwa Abib la, Seyè a, Bondye nou an, te fè nou soti kite peyi Lejip la.
Observe the month of Abib, and keep the Passover to YHWH your God; for in the month of Abib YHWH your God brought you forth out of Egypt by night.
2 Pou fèt delivrans lan, n'a ofri bèf, kabrit ak mouton pou yo touye pou Seyè a, Bondye nou an, kote li te chwazi pou yo adore l' la.
You shall sacrifice the Passover to YHWH your God, of the flock and the herd, in the place which YHWH shall choose, to cause his name to dwell there.
3 Lè n'ap manje vyann bèt nou touye pou mwen an, nou pa pou manje pen fèt ak ledven avè l'. Pandan sèt jou, n'a manje pen fèt san ledven, pen malere, paske se prese prese nou te soti kite peyi Lejip la. Konsa, n'a toujou chonje tout tray nou te pase jou nou t'ap soti kite peyi Lejip la.
You shall eat no leavened bread with it. You shall eat unleavened bread with it seven days, even the bread of affliction; for you came forth out of the land of Egypt in haste: that you may remember the day when you came forth out of the land of Egypt all the days of your life.
4 Pandan sèt jou sa yo, pesonn nan peyi nou an pa gen dwa gen ledven lakay li. Epi nan vyann nou te ofri pou mwen nan aswè premye jou a, pa kite anyen pase nwit pou denmen maten.
No yeast shall be seen with you in all your borders seven days; neither shall any of the flesh, which you sacrifice the first day at evening, remain all night until the morning.
5 Nou p'ap gen dwa touye bèt nou ofri pou delivrans lan nan ankenn lavil Seyè a va ban nou pou nou rete.
You may not sacrifice the Passover within any of your gates, which YHWH your God gives you;
6 Se va sèlman kote Seyè a te chwazi pou fè sèvis pou li a n'a touye bèt delivrans lan nan aswè apre solèy fin kouche, paske se yon lè konsa nou te soti kite peyi Lejip.
but at the place which YHWH your God shall choose, to cause his name to dwell in, there you shall sacrifice the Passover at evening, at the going down of the sun, at the season that you came forth out of Egypt.
7 N'a kwit vyann bèt nou te ofri a epi n'a manje l' kote Seyè a te chwazi a. Apre sa, nan maten, n'a vire do nou, n'a tounen lakay nou.
You shall roast and eat it in the place which YHWH your God shall choose: and you shall turn in the morning, and go to your tents.
8 Pandan sis jou, n'a manje pen fèt san ledven. Sou setyèm jou a, n'a reyini tout moun pou fè gwo sèvis pou Seyè a, Bondye nou an. Jou sa a, nou p'ap fè ankenn travay.
Six days you shall eat unleavened bread. On the seventh day shall be a solemn assembly to YHWH your God; you shall do no work.
9 N'a konte sèt senmenn apre premye jou nou konmanse ranmase rekòt grenn nan jaden nou yo.
You shall count for yourselves seven weeks: from the time you begin to put the sickle to the standing grain you shall begin to number seven weeks.
10 Apre sa, n'a fete Fèt Senmenn yo pou di Seyè a, Bondye nou an, mèsi. N'a pote ba li ofrann n'a vle dapre sa Seyè a va ban nou nan favè li.
You shall keep the feast of weeks to YHWH your God with a tribute of a freewill offering of your hand, which you shall give, according as YHWH your God blesses you:
11 N'a fè fèt devan Seyè a, Bondye nou an, kote li te chwazi pou fè sèvis pou li a, nou menm, pitit gason ak pitit fi nou yo, domestik nou yo, fanm kou gason, ansanm ak moun Levi yo ak moun lòt nasyon yo, timoun ki san papa ak fanm vèv k'ap viv ansanm ak nou nan lavil kote nou rete a.
and you shall rejoice before YHWH your God, you, and your son, and your daughter, and your male servant, and your female servant, and the Levite who is within your gates, and the foreigner, and the fatherless, and the widow, who are in the midst of you, in the place which YHWH your God shall choose, to cause his name to dwell there.
12 N'a toujou chonje nou menm tou yon lè nou te esklav nan peyi Lejip. Se poutèt sa n'a toujou obeyi tout lwa sa yo.
You shall remember that you were a bondservant in Egypt: and you shall observe and do these statutes.
13 Lè n'a fin moulen grenn jaden nou yo, lè n'a fin kraze rezen nou yo, n'a fè fèt Joupa yo pandan sèt jou.
You shall keep the feast of tents seven days, after that you have gathered in from your threshing floor and from your winepress:
14 N'a pran kont plezi nou, nou menm, pitit gason ak pitit fi nou yo, ansanm ak moun Levi yo ak moun lòt nasyon yo, timoun ki san papa ak fanm vèv ki rete nan lavil kote nou ye a.
and you shall rejoice in your feast, you, and your son, and your daughter, and your male servant, and your female servant, and the Levite, and the foreigner, and the fatherless, and the widow, who are within your gates.
15 Pandan sèt jou, n'a fè fèt pou Seyè a, Bondye nou an, kote li menm li te chwazi a, paske Seyè a, Bondye nou an, te beni nou nan tout rekòt nou yo, ak nan tout travay nou yo pou nou te ka kontan nèt ale.
You shall keep a feast to YHWH your God seven days in the place which YHWH shall choose; because YHWH your God will bless you in all your increase, and in all the work of your hands, and you shall be altogether joyful.
16 Twa fwa chak lanne, pou fèt Delivrans lan, pou fèt Premye Rekòt la ak pou fèt Joupa yo, chak gason nan peyi a va vin adore Seyè a, Bondye nou an, kote Seyè a te chwazi pou fè sèvis pou li a. Yo p'ap gen dwa vini de men vid.
Three times in a year shall all your males appear before YHWH your God in the place which he shall choose: in the feast of unleavened bread, and in the feast of weeks, and in the feast of tents; and they shall not appear before YHWH empty:
17 Men, yo chak va bay kichòy, dapre benediksyon Seyè a, Bondye nou an, va ba yo.
every man shall give as he is able, according to the blessing of YHWH your God which he has given you.
18 N'a mete jij ak majistra nan chak lavil Seyè a, Bondye nou an, va ban nou pou dirije tout branch fanmi nou yo. Y'a fè travay yo san patipri.
You shall make judges and officers in all your gates, which YHWH your God gives you, according to your tribes; and they shall judge the people with righteous judgment.
19 Piga yo fè ankenn lenjistis. Piga yo gade sou figi moun pou jije yo. Piga yo pran lajan anba nan men pesonn paske lajan konsa ka anpeche menm moun ki gen konprann wè klè, li ka fè nou kondannen moun inonsan.
You shall not wrest justice: you shall not respect persons; neither shall you take a bribe; for a bribe does blind the eyes of the wise, and pervert the words of the righteous.
20 Pa janm kite anyen anpeche nou rann jistis jan nou dwe fè l' la. Konsa, n'a kapab viv, n'a kapab pran peyi Seyè a, Bondye nou an, ap ban nou an pou nou.
You shall follow that which is altogether just, that you may live, and inherit the land which YHWH your God gives you.
21 Piga nou janm plante ankenn poto Achera ni ankenn pyebwa repozwa pou sèvi nou zidòl bò kote lòtèl n'ap bati pou Seyè a, Bondye nou an.
You shall not plant for yourselves an Asherah of any kind of tree beside the altar of YHWH your God, which you shall make for yourselves.
22 Piga nou janm mete wòch kanpe pou fè sèvis zidòl. Seyè a pa vle wè bagay konsa menm.
Neither shall you set yourself up a pillar; which YHWH your God hates.
