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.
He who is emasculated by crushing or cutting shall not enter into Yahweh’s assembly.
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 person born of a forbidden union shall not enter into Yahweh’s assembly; even to the tenth generation shall no one of his enter into Yahweh’s assembly.
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.
An Ammonite or a Moabite shall not enter into Yahweh’s assembly; even to the tenth generation shall no one belonging to them enter into Yahweh’s assembly forever,
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 didn’t meet you with bread and with water on the way when you came out of Egypt, and because they hired against you Balaam the son of Beor from Pethor of Mesopotamia, to curse you.
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.
Nevertheless Yahweh your God wouldn’t listen to Balaam, but Yahweh your God turned the curse into a blessing to you, because Yahweh your God loved you.
6 Konsa, toutotan n'ap viv sou latè, piga nou janm fè anyen ni pou ede yo ni pou fè yo plezi.
You shall not seek their peace nor their prosperity all your days forever.
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.
You shall not abhor an Edomite, for he is your brother. You shall not abhor an Egyptian, because you lived as a foreigner 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.
The children of the third generation who are born to them may enter into Yahweh’s assembly.
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 you go out and camp against your enemies, then you shall keep yourselves 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 is among you any man who is not clean by reason of that which happens to him by night, then shall he go outside of the camp. He shall not come within the camp;
11 Nan aswè, l'a lave kò l'. Apre solèy kouche, l'a ka antre nan kan an ankò.
but it shall be, when evening comes, he shall bathe himself in water. When the sun is down, he shall come within the camp.
12 N'a chwazi yon kote andeyò limit kan an kote n'a ka ale fè bezwen nou.
You shall have a place also outside of the camp where you go relieve yourself.
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.
You shall have a trowel among your weapons. It shall be, when you relieve yourself, you shall dig with it, and shall turn back and cover your excrement;
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.
for Yahweh your God walks in the middle of your camp, to deliver you, and to give up your enemies before you. Therefore your camp shall be holy, that he may not see an unclean thing in you, and turn away from you.
15 Si yon esklav sove lakay mèt li vin mande nou pwoteksyon, nou pa gen dwa renmèt li bay mèt li.
You shall not deliver to his master a servant who has escaped from his master to you.
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 you, among you, in the place which he shall choose within one of your gates, where it pleases him best. You shall not oppress him.
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 prostitute of the daughters of Israel, neither shall there be a sodomite of 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.
You shall not bring the hire of a prostitute, or the wages of a male prostitute, into the house of Yahweh your God for any vow; for both of these are an abomination to Yahweh your 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.
You shall not lend on interest to your brother: interest of money, interest of food, interest of anything that is lent on interest.
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.
You may charge a foreigner interest; but you shall not charge your brother interest, that Yahweh your God may bless you in all that you put your hand to, in the land where you go in to possess it.
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 you vow a vow to Yahweh your God, you shall not be slack to pay it, for Yahweh your God will surely require it of you; and it would be sin in you.
22 Si nou pa fè Seyè a ankenn pwomès, nanpwen peche nan sa.
But if you refrain from making a vow, it shall be no sin in you.
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'.
You shall observe and do that which has gone out of your lips. Whatever you have vowed to Yahweh your God as a free will offering, which you have promised with your mouth, you must do.
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.
When you come into your neighbor’s vineyard, then you may eat your fill of grapes at your own pleasure; but you shall not put any in your container.
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.
When you come into your neighbor’s standing grain, then you may pluck the ears with your hand; but you shall not use a sickle on your neighbor’s standing grain.
