Deteronòm 23
1 Lè yon nonm gen grenn li yo kraze, osinon pati li koupe, li pa gen dwa parèt tèt li ankò nan reyinyon pèp la ap fè pou fè sèvis pou Seyè a.
An eunuch, whose testicles are broken or cut away, or yard cut off, shall not enter into the church of the Lord.
2 Konsa tou, yon nonm ki gen san mele pa gen dwa parèt tèt li nan reyinyon pèp la ap fè pou fè sèvis pou Seyè a, ni pitit li yo, ni pitit pitit li yo, te mèt sou dis jenerasyon.
A mamzer, that is to say, one born of a prostitute, shall not enter into the church of the Lord, until the tenth generation.
3 Moun Amon yo ak moun Moab yo p'ap janm gen dwa parèt tèt yo nan reyinyon n'ap fè pou fè sèvis pou Bondye, ni pitit yo, ni pitit pitit yo, te mèt sou dis jenerasyon.
The Ammonite and the Moabite, even after the tenth generation shall not enter into the church of the Lord for ever:
4 Paske le nou te sou wout nou, apre nou te fin kite peyi Lejip la, yo pa t' ofri nou manje ak dlo. Okontrè, yo te peye Balaram, pitit gason Bejò a, pou l' te soti lavil Petò nan Mezopotami, vin ban nou madichon.
Because they would not meet you with bread and water in the way, when you came out of Egypt: hand because they hired against thee Balaam, the son of Beer, from Mesopotamia in Syria, to curse thee.
5 Men, Seyè a, Bondye nou an, te refize koute Balaram, epi li fè madichon an tounen benediksyon pou nou, paske Seyè a, Bondye nou an, renmen nou.
And the Lord thy God would not hear Balaam, and he turned his cursing into thy blessing, because he loved thee.
6 Konsa, toutotan n'ap viv sou latè, piga nou janm fè anyen ni pou ede yo ni pou fè yo plezi.
Thou shalt not make peace with them, neither shalt thou seek their prosperity all the days of thy life for ever.
7 Pa meprize moun Edon yo. Se moun menm ras avè nou yo ye. Pa meprize moun peyi Lejip yo non plis, paske yon lè se nan peyi yo nou te rete.
Thou shalt not abhor the Edomite, because he is thy brother: nor the Egyptian, because thou wast a stranger in his land.
8 Lè moun sa yo vin rete nan peyi nou an, sou twa jenerasyon, pitit yo va gen dwa vin nan reyinyon n'ap fè pou fè sèvis pou Bondye.
They that are born of them, in the third generation shall enter into the church of the Lord.
9 Lè n'ap fè lagè ak lènmi nou yo, antan n'ap viv nan kan, se pou nou egzante tou sa ki ka mete nou nan kondisyon pou nou pa ka fè sèvis Bondye.
When thou goest out to war against thy enemies, thou shalt keep thyself from every evil thing.
10 Si yon moun ta nan kondisyon pou li pa ka sèvi Bondye paske li te voye sou li lannwit, l'a soti kite kan an, l'a rete deyò pou tout jounen an.
If there be among you any man, that is defiled in a dream by night, he shall go forth out of the camp.
11 Nan aswè, l'a lave kò l'. Apre solèy kouche, l'a ka antre nan kan an ankò.
And shall not return, before he be washed with water in the evening: and after sunset he shall return into the camp.
12 N'a chwazi yon kote andeyò limit kan an kote n'a ka ale fè bezwen nou.
Thou shalt have a place without the camp, to which thou mayst go for the necessities of nature,
13 N'a pran yon pikwa nan zouti nou yo, n'a fouye yon twou, n'a degaje nou, epi n'a kouvri l' ak tè.
Carrying a paddle at thy girdle. And when thou sittest down, thou shalt dig round about, and with the earth that is dug up thou shalt cover
14 Seyè a, Bondye nou an, ap pwonmennen nan tout kan an pou l' pwoteje nou, pou l' lage lènmi nou yo nan men nou. Se poutèt sa, se pou nou toujou kenbe kan an pwòp nèt pou Seyè a pa wè anyen ladan l' ki pou ba l' kè tounen epi ki pou ta fè l' vire do ban nou.
That which thou art eased of: (for the Lord thy God walketh in the midst of thy camp, to deliver thee, and to give up thy enemies to thee: ) and let thy camp be holy, and let no uncleanness appear therein, lest he go away from thee.
15 Si yon esklav sove lakay mèt li vin mande nou pwoteksyon, nou pa gen dwa renmèt li bay mèt li.
Thou shalt not deliver to his master the servant that is fled to thee.
16 N'a kite l' viv avèk nou nan mitan pèp la, nan nenpòt ki lavil l'a chwazi, kote l'a pi pito. Pa janm pwofite sou li.
He shall dwell with thee ill the place that shall please him, and shall rest, in one of thy cities: give him no trouble.
17 Piga ankenn gason ni ankenn fanm nan pèp Izrayèl la al pote tèt yo fè jennès nan sèvis pou zidòl moun lòt nasyon yo.
There shall be no whore among the daughters of Israel, nor whoremonger among the sons of Israel.
18 Pa janm kite yon fanm osinon yon gason vin nan tanp Bondye a pou fè ankenn ofrann ak lajan yo fè nan kondisyon sa a, paske Seyè a pa vle wè moun k'ap fè bagay konsa.
Thou shalt not offer the hire of a strumpet, nor the price of a dog, in the house of the Lord thy God, whatsoever it be that thou hast vowed: because both these are an abomination to the Lord thy God.
19 Piga nou janm fè yon moun pèp Izrayèl parèy nou peye enterè lè nou prete l' lajan, osinon manje, osinon nenpòt lòt bagay.
Thou shalt not lend to thy brother money to usury, nor corn, nor any other thing:
20 Nou gen dwa egzije yon moun lòt nasyon pou l' peye nou enterè sou sa nou prete l'. Men, nou pa ka fè yon moun pèp Izrayèl parèy nou sa. Se konsa, Seyè a, Bondye nou an, va beni nou nan tou sa nou pral fè nan peyi Bondye pral ban nou pou rele nou pa nou.
But to the stranger. To thy brother thou shalt lend that which he wanteth, without usury: that the Lord thy God may bless thee in all thy works in the land, which thou shalt go in to possess.
21 Lè yonn nan nou pwomèt Seyè a n'ap fè kichòy pou li, pa kite twòp tan pase anvan nou kenbe pwomès la, paske Seyè a, Bondye nou an, p'ap manke mande nou kont. Lè sa a, n'a gen yon peche sou konsyans nou.
When thou hast made a vow to the Lord thy God, thou shalt not delay to pay it: because the Lord thy God will require it. And if thou delay, it shall be imputed to thee for a sin.
22 Si nou pa fè Seyè a ankenn pwomès, nanpwen peche nan sa.
If thou wilt not promise, thou shalt be without sin.
23 Men, depi yon pawòl sot nan bouch nou, fòk nou kenbe l'. Lè nou fè Seyè a yon pwomès ak pwòp bouch nou san anyen pa t' fòse nou fè l', se pou nou kenbe l'.
But that which is once gone out of thy lips, thou shalt observe, and shalt do as thou hast promised to the Lord thy God, and hast spoken with thy own will and with thy own mouth.
24 Lè nou pase nan jaden rezen yon moun pèp Izrayèl parèy nou, nou gen dwa manje kont rezen nou, jan nou vle. Men, piga nou pran anyen pote ale.
Going into thy neighbour’s vineyard, thou mayst eat as many grapes as thou pleasest: but must carry none out with thee:
25 Si nou antre nan jaden ble yon moun pèp Izrayèl parèy nou, si ble a mi, nou gen dwa kase kèk zepi ak men nou. Men, piga nou mete manchèt pou koupe ble ki mi nan jaden moun pèp Izrayèl parèy nou.
If thou go into thy friend’s corn, thou mayst break the ears, and rub them in thy hand: but not reap them with a sickle.
