Deteronòm 25
1 Lè yon kont pete nan mitan nou, moun ki gen kont yo va ale lajistis pou yo jije ka a. Y'a bay sa ki gen rezon an rezon, sa ki gen tò a tò.
When there shall be strife betweene men, and they shall come vnto iudgement, and sentence shall be giuen vpon them, and the righteous shall be iustified, and the wicked condemned,
2 Si sa ki gen tò a merite bat, jij la va fè l' kouche plat atè, epi, l'a devan je l', l'a fè yo ba li kantite kou li merite pou sa l' fè a.
Then if so be the wicked be worthy to bee beaten, the iudge shall cause him to lie downe, and to be beaten before his face, according to his trespasse, vnto a certaine nomber.
3 Nou pa janm gen dwa depase karant kou. Si nou ba li plis, nou ka pini l' twòp. Lè sa a, n'a avili l' devan tout moun.
Fortie stripes shall he cause him to haue and not past, lest if he should exceede and beate him aboue that with many stripes, thy brother should appeare despised in thy sight.
4 Nou pa bezwen mare bouch bèf la pou enpoze l' manje lè l'ap vire moulen pou kraze ble pou nou.
Thou shalt not mousell the oxe that treadeth out the corne.
5 Lè de frè rete ansanm nan menm kay, si yonn ladan yo rive mouri san li pa kite pitit, madan defen an pa ka al marye ak yon moun ki pa nan fanmi an. Se va devwa bòfrè a pou l' al jwenn vèv la pou l' marye ak li.
If brethren dwell together, and one of them dye and haue no sonne, the wife of the dead shall not marry without: that is, vnto a stranger, but his kinseman shall goe in vnto her, and take her to wife, and doe the kinsemans office to her.
6 Premye pitit gason madanm lan va fè a va pote non frè ki mouri a pou non l' pa pèdi nan peyi Izrayèl la.
And the first borne which she beareth, shall succeede in the name of his brother which is dead, that his name be not put out of Israel.
7 Men, si nonm lan pa vle marye ak bèlsè li a, bèlsè a va moute nan tribinal bò pòtay lavil la, epi l'a di chèf fanmi yo: Bòfrè mwen an derefize fè devwa l'. Li pa vle konsève non frè li nan peyi Izrayèl la. Li refize marye avè m', jan lalwa peyi a mande l' fè l' la.
And if the man will not take his kinsewoman, then let his kinsewoman goe vp to the gate vnto the Elders, and say, My kinsman refuseth to rayse vp vnto his brother a name in Israel: hee will not doe the office of a kinsman vnto me.
8 Lè sa a, chèf fanmi ki nan lavil la va fè rele nonm lan vin jwenn yo epi y'a pale avè l'. Si li derefize marye avèk bèlsè a,
Then the Elders of his citie shall call him, and commune with him: if he stand and say, I wil not take her,
9 bèlsè a va mache sou li, devan tout chèf fanmi yo, l'a wete yon grenn sapat nan pye nonm lan, l'a krache nan figi l', epi l'a di: -Men sa ki pou rive yon nonm ki refize bay frè li yon pitit.
Then shall his kinswoman come vnto him in the presence of the Elders, and loose his shooe from his foote, and spit in his face, and answere, and say, So shall it be done vnto that man, that will not buylde vp his brothers house.
10 Nan peyi Izrayèl la, y'a rele fanmi nonm sa a: fanmi nonm grenn sapat la.
And his name shall be called in Israel, The house of him whose shooe is put off.
11 Si pandan de gason nan moun Izrayèl yo ap goumen, madanm yonn nan yo pwoche pou l' sove mari l' anba men lòt k'ap bat li a, epi li lonje men l', li kenbe lòt lan nan pati li,
When men striue together, one with another, if the wife of the one come neere, for to ridde her husband out of the handes of him that smiteth him, and put foorth her hand, and take him by his priuities,
12 se pou nou san pitye pou li: koupe men l' la pou la.
Then thou shalt cut off her hande: thine eye shall not spare her.
13 Nou pa gen dwa gen de kalite pwa nan sakit nou pou pran pèz, yonn ki bon, yonn ki pa bon,
Thou shalt not haue in thy bagge two maner of weightes, a great and a small,
14 ni de kalite mezi lakay nou, yonn ki bon ak yonn ki pa bon.
Neither shalt thou haue in thine house diuers measures, a great and a small:
15 N'a toujou sèvi ak bon mezi, san wete san mete. Se konsa n'a ka viv lontan nan peyi Seyè a, Bondye nou an, ap ban nou an.
But thou shalt haue a right and iust weight: a perfite and a iust measure shalt thou haue, that thy dayes may be lengthened in the land, which the Lord thy God giueth thee.
16 Paske Seyè a pa vle wè moun k'ap fè bagay konsa, moun k'ap fè lenjistis.
For all that doe such things, and all that doe vnrighteously, are abomination vnto the Lord thy God.
17 Pa janm bliye sa Amalèk te fè nou lè nou te sou wout nou ap soti nan peyi Lejip.
Remember what Amalek did vnto thee by the way, when ye were come out of Egypt:
18 Yo pa t' gen krentif Bondye. Yo vin kontre nou sou chemen nou. Lè sa a nou te bouke, kò nou te kraze, epi yo pase pa dèyè, yo touye tout moun ki t'ap trennen dèyè yo.
How he met thee by ye way, and smote ye hindmost of you, all that were feeble behind thee, when thou wast fainted and weary, and he feared not God.
19 Se poutèt sa, lè Seyè a, Bondye nou an, va ban nou lapè ak tout lènmi sa yo ki antoure nou toupatou nan peyi l'ap ban nou pou rele nou pa nou an, se pou nou touye tout moun Amalèk yo pou pesonn sou latè pa janm chonje yo ankò. Pa bliye sa!
Therefore, when the Lord thy God hath giuen thee rest from all thine enemies round about in the land, which the Lord thy God giueth thee for an inheritance to possesse it, then thou shalt put out the remembrance of Amalek from vnder heauen: forget not.
