Deteronòm 22
1 Lè nou jwenn bèf osinon kabrit yon moun pèp Izrayèl parèy nou ki kase kòd, pa fè tankou nou pa wè. Se pou nou pran l' mennen l' tounen ba li.
'Thou dost not see the ox of thy brother or his sheep driven away, and hast hidden thyself from them, thou dost certainly turn them back to thy brother;
2 Men, si mèt bèt la rete twò lwen, osinon si nou pa konnen pou ki moun li ye, n'a pran l', n'a mennen l' lakay nou. N'a kenbe l' lakay nou jouk mèt li va vin chache l'. Lè sa a n'a renmèt li li.
and if thy brother [is] not near unto thee, and thou hast not known him, then thou hast removed it unto the midst of thy house, and it hath been with thee till thy brother seek it, and thou hast given it back to him;
3 N'a fè menm jan an tou pou bourik, rad osinon nenpòt bagay yon moun pèp Izrayèl parèy nou ta rive pèdi epi se nou ki ta jwenn li. Pa fè tankou nou pa wè sa.
and so thou dost to his ass, and so thou dost to his garment, and so thou dost to any lost thing of thy brother's, which is lost by him, and thou hast found it; thou art not able to hide thyself.
4 Lè nou wè bourik osinon bèf yon moun pèp Izrayèl parèy nou kouche nan chemen, pa fè tankou nou pa wè sa. Se pou nou ride l' fè l' kanpe ankò.
'Thou dost not see the ass of thy brother, or his ox, falling in the way, and hast hid thyself from them; thou dost certainly raise [them] up with him.
5 Fanm pa gen dwa mete rad gason sou yo. Gason pa gen dwa mete rad fanm sou yo. Seyè a, Bondye nou an, pa vle wè moun k'ap fè bagay konsa.
'The habiliments of a man are not on a woman, nor doth a man put on the garment of a woman, for the abomination of Jehovah thy God [is] any one doing these.
6 Si sou chemen nou, nou jwenn yon nich zwazo, swa sou yon pyebwa, swa atè avèk manman zwazo a kouche sou pitit li yo, osinon sou ze l'ap kouve, piga nou pran manman zwazo a sou nich la.
'When a bird's nest cometh before thee in the way, in any tree, or on the earth, brood or eggs, and the mother sitting on the brood or on the eggs, thou dost not take the mother with the young ones;
7 N'a kite manman zwazo a vole ale, n'a pran ti zwazo yo sèlman. Se konsa Bondye va fè tout zafè nou mache byen, l'a fè nou viv lontan.
thou dost certainly send away the mother, and the young ones dost take to thyself, so that it is well with thee, and thou hast prolonged days.
8 Lè n'ap bati yon kay nèf, n'a mete balistrad pou moun pa sot tonbe sou teras twati a. Konsa yo p'ap ka rann nou reskonsab si yon moun ta rive tonbe epi li mouri lakay nou.
'When thou buildest a new house, then thou hast made a parapet to thy roof, and thou dost not put blood on thy house when one falleth from it.
9 Pa janm plante ankenn lòt kalite grenn nan jaden rezen nou. Si nou fè sa, nou p'ap ka sèvi ni avèk rezen yo ni avèk rekòt lòt grenn nou te plante yo.
'Thou dost not sow thy vineyard [with] divers things, lest the fulness of the seed which thou dost sow, and the increase of the vineyard, be separated.
10 Piga nou mete bèf ak bourik ansanm pou rale chari.
'Thou dost not plow with an ox and with an ass together.
11 Piga nou janm mete sou nou rad ki fèt ak divès kalite lenn ak twal fin blan tise ansanm.
'Thou dost not put on a mixed cloth, wool and linen together.
12 N'a mete yon ponpon nan kat kwen rad nou mete sou nou.
'Fringes thou dost make to thee on the four skirts of thy covering with which thou dost cover [thyself].
13 Sipoze yon nonm pran yon fanm pou madanm li, li kouche avè l', epi apre sa, li vin pa renmen l' ankò.
'When a man taketh a wife, and hath gone in unto her, and hated her,
14 Lè sa a, li ba l' tout kalite defo ki genyen, li avili l' devan tout moun, li di: Fanm sa a pa di m' anyen ankò, paske lè m' marye avè l', lè nou vin ansanm, mwen te jwenn li pa t' tifi.
and laid against her actions of words, and brought out against her an evil name, and said, This woman I have taken, and I draw near unto her, and I have not found in her tokens of virginity:
15 Enben, lè sa a, papa ak manman jenn madanm lan va pran dra maryaj la ki gen prèv madanm lan te tifi, y'a pote l' nan tribinal bò pòtay lavil la, y'a moutre chèf fanmi lavil yo li.
'Then hath the father of the damsel — and her mother — taken and brought out the tokens of virginity of the damsel unto the elders of the city in the gate,
16 Epi, papa jenn ti madanm lan va di chèf fanmi yo: mwen te bay nonm sa a pitit fi mwen pou madanm. Koulye a, li pa renmen l' ankò,
and the father of the damsel hath said unto the elders, My daughter I have given to this man for a wife, and he doth hate her;
17 li pretann di madanm lan plen defo, l'ap di: O wi, mwen pa jwenn madanm lan tifi, men mwen pote ban nou prèv li te tifi. Epi l'a louvri dra a devan tout chèf fanmi lavil la.
and lo, he hath laid actions of words, saying, I have not found to thy daughter tokens of virginity — and these [are] the tokens of the virginity of my daughter! and they have spread out the garment before the elders of the city.
18 Lè sa a chèf fanmi lavil yo va pran mari a, y'a bat li byen bat.
'And the elders of that city have taken the man, and chastise him,
19 Y'a fè l' peye yon amann, y'a fè l' bay san pyès ajan, y'a renmèt bay papa jenn fanm lan, paske li te pale yon jenn tifi moun Izrayèl yo mal. Lèfini l'a blije rete ak fanm lan, li p'ap janm ka divòse avè l', jouk li menm li mouri.
and fined him a hundred silverlings, and given to the father of the damsel, because he hath brought out an evil name on a virgin of Israel, and she is to him for a wife, he is not able to send her away all his days.
20 Men, si sa mari a te di a se te vre, kifè yo pa t' kapab bay prèv madanm lan te tifi,
'And if this thing hath been truth — tokens of virginity have not been found for the damsel —
21 y'a pran ti madanm lan, y'a mennen l' deyò devan lakay papa l', epi tout gason ki rete nan lavil la va kalonnen l' wòch jouk li mouri, paske li te fè yon wont nan peyi Izrayèl la, li te lage kò l' nan dezòd antan li te lakay papa l'. Se konsa n'a wete bagay mal k'ap fèt nan mitan nou.
then they have brought out the damsel unto the opening of her father's house, and stoned her have the men of her city with stones, and she hath died, for she hath done folly in Israel, to go a-whoring [in] her father's house; and thou hast put away the evil thing out of thy midst.
22 Si nou bare yon nonm ap kouche ak yon madan marye, yo tou de fèt pou mouri, ni nèg ki te kouche ak fanm lan ni fanm lan tou. Se konsa n'a wete bagay mal k'ap fèt nan mitan nou.
'When a man is found lying with a woman, married to a husband, then they have died even both of them, the man who is lying with the woman, also the woman; and thou hast put away the evil thing out of Israel.
23 Si yon jenn fi tifi fiyanse ak yon nonm epi yon lòt nèg kontre avè l' nan yon lavil, li kouche avè l' epi moun bare yo, n'a kalonnen yo wòch jouk yo mouri. Jenn fi a va mouri paske se nan mitan yon lavil li ye, li ta ka rele mande sekou.
'When there is a damsel, a virgin, betrothed to a man, and a man hath found her in a city, and lain with her;
24 Nèg la va mouri tou paske li te avili yon fi ki te fiyanse ak yon moun pèp Izrayèl parèy li. Wi, se konsa n'a wete bagay mal k'ap fèt nan mitan nou.
then ye have brought them both out unto the gate of that city, and stoned them with stones, and they have died: — the damsel, because that she hath not cried, [being] in a city; and the man, because that he hath humbled his neighbour's wife; and thou hast put away the evil thing out of thy midst.
25 Men, si se andeyò lwen kay moun nèg la te kontre ak jenn fi fiyanse a, epi li kenbe l', li kouche avè l', se nèg la sèlman ki pou mouri.
'And if in a field the man find the damsel who is betrothed, and the man hath laid hold on her, and lain with her, then hath the man who hath lain with her died alone;
26 Yo pa gen dwa fè jenn fi a anyen, paske li pa fè anyen la a pou li ta merite lanmò. Se menm jan si se te yon nonm ki atake yon lòt epi li touye l'.
and to the damsel thou dost not do anything, the damsel hath no deadly sin; for as a man riseth against his neighbour and hath murdered him — the life, so [is] this thing;
27 Nèg la te kontre avè l' andeyò lwen kay. Jenn fi a te ka rele, men pa t' gen pesonn pou pote l' sekou.
for in a field he found her, she hath cried — the damsel who is betrothed — and she hath no saviour.
28 Si yon nonm kontre ak yon jenn fi ki tifi lakay papa l', ki poko fiyanse, epi li kenbe l', li fòse l' kouche avè l', si yo bare yo,
'When a man findeth a damsel, a virgin who is not betrothed, and hath caught her, and lain with her, and they have been found,
29 nèg ki te kouche avèk fi a va gen pou l' bay papa fi a senkant pyès ajan. Li va pran fi a pou madanm li, paske li te fòse l' kouche avè l'. Li p'ap janm ka divòse avè l' jouk li mouri.
then hath the man who is lying with her given to the father of the damsel fifty silverlings, and to him she is for a wife; because that he hath humbled her, he is not able to send her away all his days.
30 Yon nonm pa gen dwa kouche ak madanm papa l'. Li pa gen dwa avili papa l' konsa.
'A man doth not take his father's wife, nor uncover his father's skirt.
