Egzòd 23
1 Piga nou fè manti sou frè parèy nou. Lè n'ap sèvi temwen, piga nou bay manti pou ede yon mechan.
Thou shalt not receiue a false tale, neyther shalt thou put thine hande with the wicked, to be a false witnes.
2 Pa konprann pou nou fè sa ki mal paske nou wè se sa tout moun ap fè. Lè n'ap sèvi temwen nan yon pwose, piga nou pran pati pou bò ki gen plis moun lan lè nou konnen se yo ki antò.
Thou shalt not follow a multitude to do euil, neither agree in a controuersie to decline after many and ouerthrowe the trueth.
3 Konsa tou, lè gen pwose, se pa paske yon moun pòv pou nou pran pati pou li.
Thou shalt not esteeme a poore man in his cause.
4 Si nou pa byen ak yon moun, epi nou jwenn bèf li osinon bourik li ki kase kòd, se pou nou mennen l' ba li.
If thou meete thine enemies oxe, or his asse going astray, thou shalt bring him to him againe.
5 Si nou pa byen ak yon moun, epi nou wè bourik li kouche anba yon chay, pa vire do nou kite l' pou kont li. Se pou nou ede l' fè bourik la kanpe.
If thou see thine enemies asse lying vnder his burden, wilt thou cease to helpe him? thou shalt helpe him vp againe with it.
6 Lè yon malere nan pwose, pa anpeche yo fè l' jistis.
Thou shalt not ouerthrowe the right of thy poore in his sute.
7 Evite fè manti sou moun pou akize yo. Moun inonsan ak moun ki nan dwa yo, piga nou fè touye yo, paske mwen p'ap padonnen moun ki fè bagay konsa.
Thou shalt keepe thee farre from a false matter, and shalt not slaye the innocent and the righteous: for I will not iustifie a wicked man.
8 Lè n'ap sèvi temwen nan yon kòz, pa pran lajan anba nan men moun, paske lajan konsa bouche je nou, li fè nou pa wè kote jistis la ye. Li fè moun ki pa antò a pèdi kòz li.
Thou shalt take no gift: for the gift blindeth the wise, and peruerteth the wordes of the righteous.
9 Piga nou aji mal ak moun lòt nasyon k'ap viv nan peyi a. Paske, nou menm tou, yon lè, nou te etranje nan peyi Lejip, kifè nou konnen sa ki rele viv nan lòt peyi.
Thou shalt not oppresse a stranger: for ye knowe the heart of a stranger, seeing yee were strangers in the land of Egypt.
10 Pandan sizan n'a travay tè a, epi n'a ranmase sa li bay.
Moreouer, sixe yeres thou shalt sowe thy land, and gather the fruites thereof,
11 Men, sou setyèm lanne a, n'a kite tè a poze. Menm si li bay kichòy, nou p'ap ranmase anyen sou li. N'a kite rekòt la pou pòv malere yo. Rès la va rete pou bèt nan bwa manje. N'a fè menm bagay la tou pou jaden rezen ak jaden oliv nou yo.
But the seuenth yeere thou shalt let it rest and lie still, that the poore of thy people may eat, and what they leaue, the beastes of the fielde shall eate. In like maner thou shalt doe with thy vineyard, and with thine oliue trees.
12 N'a travay sis jou. Men setyèm jou a, n'a sispann travay, n'a pran repo. Konsa, bèf nou yo ak bourik nou yo, moun k'ap sèvi avèk nou yo ansanm ak etranje ki lakay nou yo va ka pran repo tou.
Sixe dayes thou shalt do thy worke, and in the seuenth day thou shalt rest, that thine oxe, and thine asse may rest, and the sonne of thy maide and the stranger may be refreshed.
13 Se pou nou swiv tou sa mwen sot di nou la a. Pa lapriyè lòt bondye, piga mwen tande non yo soti nan bouch nou.
And ye shall take heede to all things that I haue sayde vnto you: and ye shall make no mention of the name of other gods, neither shall it be heard out of thy mouth.
14 Twa fwa chak lanne, n'a fè fèt pou mwen.
Three times thou shalt keepe a feast vnto me in the yeere.
15 N'a fè fèt Pen san ledven yo. Jan mwen te ban nou lòd la, n'a manje pen san ledven pandan sèt jou nan epòk yo fikse nan mwa Abib la. Paske se nan mwa sa a nou te soti kite peyi Lejip. Lè sa a, nou p'ap gen dwa parèt devan m' de men vid.
Thou shalt keepe the feast of vnleauened bread: thou shalt eate vnleauened bread seue dayes, as I commanded thee, in the season of the moneth of Abib: for in it thou camest out of Egypt: and none shall appeare before me emptie:
16 Apre sa, n'a fete fèt Premye Rekòt la lè nou fèk konmanse rekòlte grenn nou simen nan jaden nou yo. N'a fete fèt Dènye Rekòt la menm vè fen lanne a, lè n'ap fin rekòlte tou sa ki nan jaden nou yo.
The feast also of the haruest of the first fruites of thy labours, which thou hast sowen in the fielde: and the feast of gathering fruites in the ende of the yere, when thou hast gathered in thy labours out of the fielde.
17 Twa fwa chak lanne, tout gason nan pèp la va parèt devan mwen menm Seyè a, Bondye a.
These three times in the yeere shall all thy men children appeare before the Lord Iehouah.
18 Lè n'ap touye yon bèt pou mwen, piga nou ofri san an ansanm ak pen ki fèt ak ledven. Piga nou sere grès bèt la tout lannwit jouk denmen maten.
Thou shalt not offer the blood of my sacrifice with leauened bread: neyther shall the fatte of my sacrifice remayne vntill the morning.
19 N'a pran pi bèl fwi nan premye rekòt jaden nou, n'a pote yo bay Seyè a, Bondye nou an, lakay li, Piga ou kwit yon ti kabrit nan lèt manman li.
The first of the first fruites of thy lande thou shalt bring into the house of the Lord thy God: yet shalt thou not seeth a kid in his mothers milke.
20 Men m'ap voye yonn nan zanj mwen yo devan nou pou pwoteje nou sou wout la, pou l' fè nou rive san danje kote mwen pare pou nou an.
Behold, I send an Angel before thee, to keepe thee in the way, and to bring thee to the place which I haue prepared.
21 Veye kò nou devan li. Koute sa l'ap di nou. Pa kenbe tèt avè l'. Si nou fè sa, li p'ap padonnen nou sa paske se nan non mwen l'ap fè tou sa l'ap fè a.
Beware of him, and heare his voyce, and prouoke him not: for he will not spare your misdeedes, because my name is in him.
22 Men, si nou koute sa li di nou, si nou fè tou sa mwen di nou fè, m'ap rayi moun ki rayi nou, mwen p'ap vle wè moun ki pa vle wè nou.
But if thou hearken vnto his voyce, and do all that I speake, the I wil be an enemie vnto thine enemies, and will afflict them that afflict thee.
23 Zanj mwen an va mache devan nou, l'ap mennen nou nan peyi moun Amori yo, peyi moun Et yo, peyi moun Ferezi yo, peyi moun Kanaran yo, peyi moun Evi yo ak peyi moun Jebis yo. M'ap detwi yo tout.
For mine Angel shall go before thee, and bring thee vnto the Amorites, and the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Canaanites, the Hiuites, and the Iebusites, and I will destroy them.
24 Piga nou mete ajenou devan bondye lòt nasyon yo. Piga nou janm sèvi yo. Pa fè menm jan ak moun lòt nasyon yo. Se pou nou detwi bondye yo nèt, se pou nou kraze tout moniman yo fè pou yo.
Thou shalt not bow downe to their gods, neither serue them, nor doe after the workes of them: but vtterly ouerthrowe them, and breake in pieces their images.
25 Se mwen menm Seyè a, Bondye nou an, pou nou sèvi. M'ap beni nou, m'ap ban nou manje pou n' manje, dlo pou nou bwè. Mwen p'ap kite maladi tonbe sou nou.
For ye shall serue the Lord your God, and he shall blesse thy bread and thy water, and I will take all sickenes away from the middes of thee.
26 Nan peyi nou an p'ap gen fanm k'ap fè foskouch, ni fanm ki p'ap ka fè pitit. M'ap kite nou viv jouk nou fin granmoun.
There shall none cast their fruite nor be baren in thy lande: the number of thy dayes will I fulfill.
27 M'ap fè tout moun pè nou. Kote nou pase, m'ap fè moun pèdi tèt yo. M'ap fè tout lènmi nou yo pran rak devan nou.
I will send my feare before thee, and will destroy all the people among whome thou shalt go: and I will make all thine enemies turne their backes vnto thee:
28 m'a voye gwo gèp devan nou, y'a fè moun Evi yo, moun Kanaran yo ak moun Et yo kouri byen lwen nou.
And I will sende hornets before thee, which shall driue out the Hiuites, the Canaanites, and the Hittites from thy face.
29 Mwen p'ap fè yo ale tout ansanm yon sèl kou, yon sèl lanne, pou peyi a pa tounen savann, pou bèt nan bwa yo pa vin twòp pou nou.
I will not cast them out from thy face in one yeere, least the land grow to a wildernes: and the beasts of the field multiplie against thee.
30 Men, piti piti m'ap mete yo deyò, jouk n'a gen plis moun pou nou ka pran tout peyi a pou nou.
By litle and litle I will driue them out from thy face, vntill thou increase, and inherite the lande.
31 M'ap fè fwontyè peyi nou an konmanse depi sou lanmè Wouj la rive jouk sou lanmè Mediterane, depi sou dezè a al bat sou larivyè Lefrat la. M'ap lage tout moun nan peyi a anba men nou, n'ap chase yo met deyò devan nou.
And I will make thy coastes from the red sea vnto the sea of the Philistims, and from the desert vnto the Riuer: for I will deliuer the inhabitants of the lande into your hande, and thou shalt driue them out from thy face.
32 Piga nou pase ankenn kontra ak moun sa yo, ni ak bondye yo.
Thou shalt make no couenant with them, nor with their gods:
33 Se pa pou yo rete nan peyi nou an, pou yo pa ankouraje nou fè peche kont mwen. Si nou sèvi bondye moun sa yo, sa ka yon malè pou nou.
Neither shall they dwell in thy lande, least they make thee sinne against me: for if thou serue their gods, surely it shall be thy destruction.
