Egzòd 20
1 Bondye pran pale, li di:
And God spake all these words saying: —
2 -Se mwen menm, Seyè a, Bondye nou an, ki te fè nou soti nan peyi Lejip kote nou te esklav la.
I, am Yahweh thy God, —who have brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of servants: —
3 Piga nou gen lòt bondye pase mwen menm sèlman.
Thou shalt not have other gods besides me.
4 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.
Thou shalt not make to thee an image, or any form, that is in the heavens above, —or that is in the earth beneath, —or that is in the waters beneath the earth:
5 Piga nou adore yo, ni piga nou sèvi yo. Paske mwen menm, Seyè a, Bondye nou an, mwen se yon Bondye ki fè jalouzi. Lè yon moun rayi m', mwen fè pitit li, pitit pitit li ak pitit pitit pitit li yo peye sa.
thou shalt not bow thyself down to them nor be led to serve them—For, I, Yahweh, thy God, am a jealous GOD, visiting the iniquity of fathers upon sons, unto three [generations] and, unto four, of them that hate me;
6 Men, lè yon moun renmen m', lè li fè sa m' mande l' fè, m'ap moutre l' jan mwen renmen l' tou ansanm ak tout pitit pitit li yo pandan mil jenerasyon.
but shewing lovingkindness unto thousands [of generations], —of them who love me, and keep my commandments.
7 Piga nou sèvi mal ak non Seyè a, Bondye nou an, paske Seyè a p'ap manke pa pini moun ki sèvi mal avèk non li.
Thou shalt not utter the name of Yahweh thy God for falsehood, for Yahweh will not let him go unpunished who uttereth his name for falsehood.
8 Toujou chonje jou repo a pou nou mete l' apa pou mwen.
Remember the sabbath day, to hallow it:
9 N'a travay sis jou. Lè sa yo n'a fè tou sa nou gen pou fè.
Six days, shalt thou labour, and do all thy work;
10 Men, setyèm jou a, se jou repo pou nou mete apa pou 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 moun k'ap travay lakay nou, ni bèt nou yo, ni etranje ki lakay nou.
but, the seventh day, is a sabbath unto Yahweh thy God, —thou shalt do no work, thou nor thy son nor thy daughter nor thy servant, nor thy handmaid, nor thy beast, nor thy sojourner who is within thy gates,
11 Paske, Seyè a te pran sis jou pou l' fè syèl la, latè a ak lanmè a ansanm ak tou sa ki ladan yo. Apre sa, sou setyèm jou a, li pran repo. Se poutèt sa, Seyè a beni jou repo a, li mete l' apa pou li.
For, in six days, did Yahweh make the heavens and the earth, [and] the sea—and all that in them is, and rested on the seventh day, —for this cause, Yahweh blessed the sabbath day and hallowed it.
12 Respekte manman nou ak papa nou pou nou ka viv lontan nan peyi Seyè a, Bondye nou an, ban nou an.
Honour thy father, and thy mother, —that thy days may be prolonged upon the soil, which Yahweh thy God is about to give unto thee.
13 Piga nou touye moun.
Thou shalt not commit murder.
14 Piga nou fè adiltè.
Thou shalt not commit adultery.
15 Piga nou pran sa ki pa pou nou.
Thou shalt not steal.
16 Piga nou bay manti sou frè parèy nou.
Thou shalt not testify against thy neighbour, with a witness of falsehood.
17 Piga nou pote lanvi sou sa ki pa pou nou: ni sou kay frè parèy nou, ni sou madanm li, ni sou moun k'ap sèvi lakay li, ni sou bèf li, ni sou bourik li, ni sou ankenn lòt bagay ki pou frè parèy nou.
Thou shalt not covet, thy neighbour’s house, —thou shalt not covet, thy neighbour’s wife nor his servant nor his handmaid nor his ox, nor his ass, nor anything which belongeth unto thy neighbour.
18 Lè pèp la tande bri loraj la ak son twonpèt la, lè yo wè kout zèklè sou kout zèklè, ak mòn lan ki t'ap pouse lafimen, yo tranble sitèlman yo te pè. Yo ret kanpe byen lwen.
And, all the people, were witnessing the voices and the torches, and the sound of the horn, and the mountain smoking, —so then the people were struck with awe and shrank back, and stood afar off.
19 Yo di Moyiz konsa: -Pito se ou menm ki pale ak nou, n'a koute sa w'ap di. Men, si se Bondye ki pou pale avèk nou, n'a mouri.
And they said unto Moses, Speak, thou, with us, and we will hear, —but let not God speak with us lest we die.
20 Moyiz di pèp la: -Nou pa bezwen pè. Bondye vini pou wè kote nou ye avèk li. Li vle pou nou toujou gen krentif pou li, pou nou pa lage kò nou nan fè peche.
And Moses said unto the people—Do not fear, for to the end he may prove you, hath God come, —and to the end the reverence of him may be upon your faces that ye sin not.
21 Men pèp la rete kanpe byen lwen. Sèl Moyiz te pwoche kote nwaj nwa a kote Bondye te ye a.
So then the people stood afar off, and, Moses, approached unto the thick gloom, where God was.
22 Seyè a di Moyiz: -Men sa pou ou di moun pèp Izrayèl yo: Nou wè ki jan mwen ret nan syèl la pou m' pale ak nou.
Then said Yahweh unto Moses, Thus, shalt thou say, unto the sons of Israel, —Ye yourselves, have seen that out of the heavens, have I spoken with you.
23 Piga n al fè lòt bondye an ajan osinon an lò pou nou sèvi yo ansanm avè m'.
Ye shall not make [aught] beside me, —neither gods of silver, nor gods of gold, shall ye make to yourselves.
24 N'a bati yon lòtèl an tè pou mwen. Se sou li n'a ofri bèt n'a touye pou boule nèt yo ak bèt n'a touye pou di mèsi. Se sou li n'a ofri mouton ak bèf nou yo. Chak kote m'a di nou pou nou fè sèvis pou mwen, m'a vin jwenn nou la, m'a beni nou.
An altar of earth, shalt thou make to me, then shalt thou offer thereupon thine ascending-sacrifices and thy peace-offerings, thy sheep, and thine oxen. In every place where I may mention my name, will I come in unto thee and will bless thee.
25 Si nou fe yon lòtèl ak ròch pou mwen, pa travay ròch n'a pran pou fè l' la. Paske lè ou travay yon ròch ak sizo, li pa ka sèvi pou mwen ankò.
But if, an altar of stones, thou wilt make to me, thou shalt not build them hewn, —for as soon as thou hast lifted, thy sharp tool, thereupon, thou hast profaned it;
26 Piga nou sèvi ak macheskalye pou nou moute sou lòtèl mwen pou moun pa wè anba rad nou.
neither shalt thou go up, by steps unto mine altar, —lest by any means thy shame be discovered thereupon.
