Deteronòm 5
1 Moyiz fè tout pèp Izrayèl la sanble, epi li di yo: -Nou menm pèp Izrayèl, koute lòd ak kòmandman m'ap fè nou tande jòdi a. Aprann yo byen. Pa janm bliye yo pou nou ka toujou fè tou sa yo mande nou fè.
And Moses summoned all of Israel, and he said to them: “Listen, O Israel, to the ceremonies and judgments, which I am speaking to your ears on this day. Learn them, and fulfill them in deed.
2 Seyè a, Bondye nou an, te siyen yon kontra ak nou sou Mòn Orèb la.
The Lord our God formed a covenant with us at Horeb.
3 Se pa t' avèk zansèt nou yo sèlman Seyè a te pase kontra a, men avèk nou menm tou, nou tout k'ap viv isit la jòdi a.
He did not make the covenant with our fathers, but with us, who are alive and in the present time.
4 Bondye te rete sou mòn lan, nan mitan dife a. Li te pale ak nou fas pou fas.
He spoke to us face to face on the mountain, from the midst of fire.
5 Lè sa a, mwen menm mwen te kanpe nan mitan, Seyè a yon bò, nou menm yon bò, pou m' te rapòte nou tout pawòl Seyè a te di, paske nou te pè dife a, nou pa t' vle moute sou mòn lan. Men sa Seyè a te di:
I was the mediator, for I was in the middle between the Lord and you, at that time, to announce his words to you. For you were afraid of the fire, and so you did not ascend to the mountain. And he said:
6 Se mwen menm, Seyè a, Bondye nou an, ki te fè nou soti kite peyi Lejip kote nou te esklav la.
‘I am the Lord your God, who led you away from the land of Egypt, from the house of servitude.
7 Piga nou sèvi lòt bondye pase mwen menm sèlman.
You shall not have strange gods in my sight.
8 Piga nou janm fè ankenn estati ni ankenn pòtre ki sanble bagay ki anwo nan syèl la osinon bagay ki sou latè ou ankò nan dlo anba tè a.
You shall not make for yourself a graven image, nor the likeness of anything, which is in heaven above, or on earth below, or which abides in the waters under the earth.
9 Piga nou adore yo, ni piga nou sèvi yo. Paske, mwen menm Seyè a, Bondye nou an, mwen se yon Bondye ki fè jalouzi anpil. Lè yon moun rayi m', mwen fè pitit li, pitit pitit li ak pitit pitit pitit li yo peye sa.
You shall not adore and you shall not worship these things. For I am the Lord your God, a jealous God, repaying the iniquity of the fathers upon the sons to the third and fourth generation to those who hate me,
10 Men, lè yon moun renmen m', lè li fè sa m' mande l' fè, m'ap moutre l' jan moun renmen l' tou ansanm ak tout pitit pitit li yo pandan mil jenerasyon.
and acting with mercy in thousands of ways to those who love me and keep my precepts.
11 Piga nou janm nonmen non Seyè a, Bondye nou an, an jwèt osinon pou bay manti, paske mwen menm, Seyè a, Bondye nou an, mwen p'ap manke pini moun ki nonmen non m' pou gremesi.
You shall not use the name of the Lord your God in vain. For he will not go unpunished who takes up his name over an unimportant matter.
12 Toujou chonje jou repo a pou nou mete l' apa pou Bondye, jan mwen menm Seyè a, Bondye nou an, te ban nou lòd fè l' la.
Observe the day of the Sabbath, so that you may sanctify it, just as the Lord your God has instructed you.
13 N'a travay sis jou. Lè sa a, n'a fè tou sa nou gen pou nou fè.
For six days, you shall labor and do all your work.
14 Men, setyèm jou a, se jou repo Seyè a, Bondye nou an. Jou sa a, nou p'ap fè ankenn travay, ni nou menm, ni pitit gason nou, ni pitit fi nou, ni fanm ni gason k'ap travay lakay nou, ni bèf nou, ni bourik nou, ni ankenn nan lòt bèt nou genyen, ni moun lòt nasyon ki rete lakay nou. Konsa, ni fanm ni gason k'ap travay lakay nou ka pran repo menm jan ak nou.
The seventh is the day of the Sabbath, that is, the rest of the Lord your God. You shall not do any work in it, nor shall your son, nor daughter, nor man servant, nor woman servant, nor ox, nor donkey, nor any of your cattle, nor the sojourner who is within your gates, so that your men and woman servants may rest, just as you do.
15 N'a toujou chonje se esklav nou te ye nan peyi Lejip la. E se mwen menm, Seyè a, Bondye nou an, ki te vin delivre nou ak fòs ponyèt mwen, ak gwo kouraj mwen. Se poutèt sa, Seyè a, Bondye nou an, te pase nou lòd pou nou pa bliye jou repo a.
Remember that you also were servants in Egypt, and the Lord your God led you away from that place with a strong hand and an outstretched arm. Because of this, he has instructed you so that you would observe the Sabbath day.
16 Respekte manman nou ak papa nou jan Seyè a, Bondye nou an, te pase nou lòd la, pou nou ka viv lontan ak kè kontan nan peyi Seyè a, Bondye nou an, te ban nou.
Honor your father and mother, just as the Lord your God has instructed you, so that you may live a long time, and so that it may be well with you in the land, which the Lord your God will give to you.
17 Piga nou janm touye moun.
You shall not murder.
18 Piga nou janm fè adiltè.
And you shall not commit adultery.
19 Piga nou janm pran sa ki pa pou nou.
And you shall not commit theft.
20 Piga nou janm fè manti sou frè parèy nou nan tribinal.
Neither shall you speak false testimony against your neighbor.
21 Piga nou janm pote lanvi sou madanm frè parèy nou. Pa mete lide nou ni sou kay li, ni sou jaden li, ni sou gason osinon fanm k'ap travay lakay li, ni sou bèf li, ni sou bourik li, ni sou anyen ki pou frè parèy nou.
You shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, nor his house, nor his field, nor his man servant, nor his woman servant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything out of all that is his.’
22 Men pawòl Seyè a te di nou lè nou tout nou te sanble sou mòn lan. Li te rete nan mitan dife a, anndan gwo nwaj nwa a, li pale byen fò ak nou. Li pa di anyen ankò apre sa. Li ekri kòmandman sa yo sou de wòch plat, epi li ban mwen yo.
The Lord spoke these words to the entire multitude of you on the mountain, from the midst of the fire and the cloud and the darkness, with a loud voice, adding nothing more. And he wrote them on two tablets of stone, which he delivered to me.
23 Men, lè pèp la tande bri vwa ki t'ap soti nan nwaj nwa a, lè yo wè mòn lan ki t'ap pran dife, yo vin jwenn mwen ansanm ak tout chèf branch fanmi yo ak tout chèf fanmi yo.
Then, after you heard the voice from the midst of the darkness, and you saw the mountain burning, you approached me, all you leaders of the tribes and those greater by birth. And you said:
24 Yo di m' konsa: -Koulye a, nou wè Seyè a, Bondye nou an. Nou wè jan li gen pouvwa, jan li merite yo fè lwanj li. Nou tande vwa l' ap pale nan mitan dife a. Jòdi a nou wè tout bon vre Bondye ka pale ak moun san yo pa mouri pou sa.
‘Behold, the Lord our God has revealed to us his majesty and his greatness. We have heard his voice from the midst of fire, and we have proven today that, though God is speaking with man, man has lived.
25 Bon. Koulye a, poukisa pou n' al riske tèt nou ankò avèk gwo dife sa a ki ka kankannen nou? Eske nou p'ap mouri si nou tande vwa Seyè a, Bondye nou an, ap pale yon lòt fwa ankò?
Therefore, why should we die, and why should this very great fire devour us? For if we hear the voice of the Lord our God any longer, we will die.
26 Eske gen moun sou latè ki ka rete vivan toujou lè yo fin tande Bondye tout bon an rete nan mitan dife pou pale ak yo, jan sa te rive nou an?
What is all flesh, that it would hear the voice of the living God, who speaks from the midst of fire, just as we have heard it, and be able to live?
27 Ou mèt pwoche ou menm, pou ou tande tou sa Seyè a, Bondye nou an, va di. Apre sa, w'a tounen vin di nou sa li te di ou. N'a koute ou, epi n'a fè tou sa l' di nou fè.
Instead, you should approach and listen to all the things that the Lord our God will say to you. And you will speak to us, and we will listen and do these things.’
28 Seyè a te tande sa nou te di a, li di m' konsa: Mwen tande sa pèp la di la a. Yo gen rezon.
But when the Lord had heard this, he said to me: ‘I have heard the voice of the words of this people, which they spoke to you. All this, they have spoken well.
29 Mwen ta swete yo toujou gen bon santiman nan kè yo pou yo ka gen krentif pou mwen, pou yo kenbe lòd mwen yo, konsa yo ta viv ak kè kontan tout tan, ni yo menm ni pitit yo.
Who will grant to them to have such a mind, so that they may fear me, and may keep all my commandments at all times, so that it may be well with them and with their sons forever?
30 Ale di yo yo mèt tounen anba tant yo.
Go and say to them: Return to your tents.
31 Men ou menm, ou va rete isit la avè m'. M'a ba ou tout kòmandman, tout lòd ak tout prensip pou ou moutre yo pou yo ka swiv yo nan peyi m'ap ba yo a.
But as for you, stand here with me, and I will speak to you all my commandments and ceremonies, as well as judgments. These, you shall teach them, so that they may do them in the land, which I will give to them as a possession.
32 Veye kò nou pou nou viv jan Seyè a, Bondye nou an, te mande nou viv la. Pa vire ni adwat ni agoch.
And so, keep and do the things which the Lord God has commanded you. You shall not turn aside, neither to the right, nor to the left.
33 N'a mache dwat nan chemen Bondye nou an, Seyè a, mete devan nou an. Se konsa n'a gen lavi, n'a gen kè kontan. N'a viv lontan nan peyi nou pral pran pou nou rete a.
For you shall walk in the way that the Lord your God has instructed, so that you may live, and it may be well with you, and your days may be extended in the land of your possession.’”
