Deteronòm 24
1 Si yon nonm marye ak yon fanm epi rive yon lè fanm lan pa fè l' plezi ankò, paske li dekouvri nan fanm lan yon bagay ki pa byen, l'a ekri yon papye divòs bay fanm lan, epi l'a voye l' tounen lakay papa l'.
“If a man takes a wife, and he has her, and she does not find favor before his eyes because of some vileness, then he shall write a bill of divorce, and he shall give it to her hand, and he shall dismiss her from his house.
2 Apre sa, si fanm lan kite kay papa l', l' al marye ak yon lòt gason,
And when, having departed, she has married another,
3 sipoze dezyèm mari a tou ta rive pa vle wè l', epi li ekri yon lèt divòs ba li, epi li voye l' tounen lakay papa l' ankò, osinon sipoze dezyèm mari a ta rive mouri,
and if he likewise hates her, and has given her a bill of divorce, and has dismissed her from his house, or if indeed he has died,
4 lè sa a, premye mari a p'ap ka marye avè l' ankò. Se pou li konsidere fanm lan tankou yon moun ki pa nan kondisyon pou sèvi Bondye. Paske si li marye avè l' apre sa, l'ap fè yon bagay Seyè a pa vle wè. Piga nou rale madichon sou peyi Seyè a, Bondye nou an, ap ban nou pou rele nou pa nou an.
then the former husband cannot take her back as a wife. For she has been polluted and has become abominable in the sight of the Lord. Otherwise, you may cause your land, which the Lord your God will deliver to you as a possession, to sin.
5 Si yon nonm fèk marye, li pa fèt pou l' al nan lagè, ni yo pa bezwen mande l' fè ankenn travay nan sèvis piblik pandan ennan. Konsa, pandan tan sa a, l'a lib pou l' rete lakay li pou l' fè kè madanm li kontan.
When a man has recently taken a wife, he shall not go out to war, nor shall any public office be enjoined upon him. Instead, he shall be free at home without guilt, so that for one year he may rejoice with his wife.
6 Lè n'ap prete yon moun lajan, nou pa gen dwa pran de wòl moulen li yo, pa menm yon sèl ladan yo, pou garanti. Si nou fè sa, se tankou si se te lavi moun lan menm nou te pran pou garanti.
You shall not accept an upper or lower millstone as collateral. For then he will have placed his life with you.
7 Si yo bare yon moun pèp Izrayèl ap kenbe yon moun pèp Izrayèl parèy li pou fè l' tounen esklav li osinon pou l' vann li, se pou yo touye l'. Se konsa n'a wete bagay mal k'ap fèt nan mitan nou.
If a man has been caught soliciting his brother among the sons of Israel, and selling him in order to receive a price, then he shall be put to death. And so shall you take away the evil from your midst.
8 Lè gen yon ka move maladi po, se pou nou sèten yo fè tou sa moun Levi yo mande fè. Se pou nou swiv tout regleman mwen te ba yo sou sa.
Observe diligently, lest you incur the wound of leprosy. But you shall do whatever the priests of the Levitical stock shall teach you to do, according to what I have instructed them. And you shall fulfill it carefully.
9 Pa janm bliye sa Seyè a, Bondye nou an, te fè Miryam, lè nou t'ap soti kite peyi Lejip la.
Remember what the Lord your God did to Miriam, along the way, as you were departing from Egypt.
10 Lè n'ap prete yon moun yon lajan sou garanti, nou pa gen dwa antre lakay li pou n' al pran sa l'ap ban nou pou garanti a.
When you require from your neighbor anything that he owes to you, you shall not enter into his house in order to take away the collateral.
11 N'a rete deyò, n'a tann li pote garanti a ban nou deyò a.
Instead, you shall stand outside, and he will carry out to you what he has.
12 Si se yon nonm ki pòv, pa kite rad li ban nou pou garanti a pase nwit lakay nou.
But if he is poor, then the collateral shall not remain with you through the night.
13 Se pou nou tounen l' ba li lè solèy kouche, pou l' ka mete l' sou li lè l'ap dòmi. L'a genyen nou rekonesans, epi nou menm nou va fè yon bon zèv devan Seyè a, Bondye nou an.
Instead, you shall return it to him promptly, before the setting of the sun, so that, sleeping in his own garment, he may bless you, and you may have justice in the presence of the Lord your God.
14 Piga nou peze yon pòv malere k'ap travay pou lajan l', li te mèt yon moun pèp Izrayèl parèy nou, li te mèt yon moun lòt nasyon k'ap viv nan peyi a nan yonn nan lavil nou yo.
You shall not refuse the pay of the indigent and the poor, whether he is your brother, or he is a new arrival who dwells with you in the land and is within your gates.
15 Peye l' lajan l' chak jou, anvan solèy kouche, paske li pòv, li bezwen lajan an pou l' viv. Konsa, li p'ap bezwen rele Seyè a pou nou. Men, si sa rive, se nou menm k'ap antò.
Instead, you shall pay him the price of his labor on the same day, before the setting of the sun. For he is poor, and with it he sustains his life. Otherwise, he may cry out against you to the Lord, and it would be charged to you as a sin.
16 Nou pa gen dwa touye yon papa pou krim pitit li fè. Ni nou pa gen dwa touye yon pitit pou krim papa l' te fè. Y'a touye yon moun pou krim li menm li fè.
The fathers shall not be put to death on behalf of the sons, nor the sons on behalf of the fathers, but each one shall die for his own sin.
17 Pa fè ankenn moun lòt nasyon k'ap viv nan mitan nou lenjistis. Respekte dwa timoun ki san papa. Pa pran rad yon vèv an garanti pou lajan nou prete l'.
You shall not pervert the judgment of the new arrival or the orphan, nor shall you take away the widow’s garment as collateral.
18 Chonje nou menm tou nou te esklav nan peyi Lejip. Se Seyè a menm, Bondye nou an, ki te delivre nou. Se poutèt sa mwen mande nou pou nou swiv regleman sa a.
Remember that you served in Egypt, and that the Lord your God rescued you from there. Therefore, I am instructing you to act in this way.
19 Lè n'ap ranmase rekòt ble nan jaden nou epi nou bliye ranmase kèk grap ki tonbe atè, pa tounen al pran yo. N'a kite yo pou moun lòt nasyon k'ap viv nan mitan nou, pou timoun san papa ak fanm ki pèdi mari yo. N'a fè sa pou Seyè a, Bondye nou an, ka beni nou nan tou sa n'ap fè.
When you have reaped the grain in your field, and, having forgotten, you leave behind a sheaf, you shall not return to take it away. Instead, you shall permit the new arrival, and the orphan, and the widow to take it away, so that the Lord your God may bless you in all the works of your hands.
20 Lè n'ap keyi grenn oliv, nou pa bezwen pase yon dezyèm fwa pou keyi sa ki te rete yo. N'a kite yo pou moun lòt nasyon k'ap viv nan mitan nou yo, pou timoun san papa ak pou fanm ki pèdi mari yo.
If you have gathered the fruit of your olive trees, you shall not return in order to gather whatever may remain on the trees. Instead, you shall leave it behind for the new arrival, the orphan, and the widow.
21 Lè nou fin koupe grap rezen nan jaden nou yo, pa tounen yon dezyèm fwa anba chak pye rezen pou repase branch yo. Sa ki va rete a, n'a kite yo pou moun lòt nasyon k'ap viv nan mitan nou yo, pou timoun ki san papa ak pou fanm ki pèdi mari yo.
If you harvest the vintage of your vineyard, you shall not gather the remaining clusters. Instead, they shall fall to the use of the stranger, the orphan, and the widow.
22 Se pou nou toujou chonje yon lè nou te esklav nan peyi Lejip. Se poutèt sa mwen mande non pou nou swiv lòd mwen ban nou la a.
Remember that you also served in Egypt, and so, for this reason, I am instructing you to act in this way.”
