Deteronòm 15
1 “Nan fen chak sèt ane, nou va bay yon remisyon pou dèt yo.
At the end of every seven years you shall make a release.
2 Se konsa remisyon an va ye: tout moun ki prete yon moun yo va bliye sa ke li te prete vwazen li an. Li pa pou egzije li a vwazen li ni frè li, akoz remisyon an te pwoklame.
And this is the manner of the release: Every creditor that lends something to his neighbor shall release it; he shall not exact it of his neighbor, or of his brother; because it is called the LORD’s release.
3 “A yon etranje, nou gen dwa egzije li; men nou va bliye nenpòt sa ki pou nou avèk frè nou.
Of a foreigner you may exact it again: but that which is your with your brother your hand shall release;
4 Sepandan, p ap gen malere pami nou, (akoz SENYÈ a va, anverite, beni nou nan peyi ke SENYÈ Bondye nou an, ap bannou kòm yon eritaj pou posede)
Save when there shall be no poor among you; for the LORD shall greatly bless you in the land which the LORD your God gives you for an inheritance to possess it:
5 si sèlman ou koute avèk obeyisans a vwa SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, pou swiv avèk atansyon tout kòmandman sila ke mwen ap kòmande nou jodi a.
Only if you carefully listen to the voice of the LORD your God, to observe to do all these commandments which I command you this day.
6 “Paske SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, va beni nou jan Li te pwomèt nou an. Nou va prete a anpil nasyon, men nou p ap prete nan men yo. Nou va domine sou anpil nasyon, men yo p ap domine sou nou.
For the LORD your God blesses you, as he promised you: and you shall lend to many nations, but you shall not borrow; and you shall reign over many nations, but they shall not reign over you.
7 “Si gen yon malere pami nou, youn nan frè nou yo, nan nenpòt vil nou yo nan peyi ke SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, ap bannou an, nou pa pou fè kè nou di, ni sere men nou kont frè malere a.
If there be among you a poor man of one of your brothers within any of your gates in your land which the LORD your God gives you, you shall not harden your heart, nor shut your hand from your poor brother:
8 Men nou va louvri men nou byen laj vè li, e nou va prete a li avèk jenewozite sa ki sifi pou li nan nenpòt sa li manke.
But you shall open your hand wide to him, and shall surely lend him sufficient for his need, in that which he wants.
9 “Fè atansyon pou nou pa vin gen yon lide mechan nan kè nou ki di: ‘Setyèm ane a, lane pou remisyon an prè;’ epi zye nou vin move kont frè nou ki malere a, pou nou pa ba li anyen. Alò, konsa li kab kriye a SENYÈ a kont nou, epi sa va peche nan nou.
Beware that there be not a thought in your wicked heart, saying, The seventh year, the year of release, is at hand; and your eye be evil against your poor brother, and you give him nothing; and he cry to the LORD against you, and it be sin to you.
10 Nou va ba li avèk jenewozite, san fè kè tris lè nou ba li. Paske pou bagay sa a, SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, va beni nou nan tout travay nou ak tout sa ke nou antreprann.
You shall surely give him, and your heart shall not be grieved when you give to him: because that for this thing the LORD your God shall bless you in all your works, and in all that you put your hand to.
11 “Paske malere yo p ap janm sispann la nan peyi a. Akoz sa, mwen kòmande nou, e di: ‘Nou va louvri men nou byen laj a frè malere nou yo avèk pòv nan peyi nou yo.’
For the poor shall never cease out of the land: therefore I command you, saying, You shall open your hand wide to your brother, to your poor, and to your needy, in your land.
12 “Si moun peyi parèy nou yo, yon Ebre, gason oswa fanm, vann a nou menm, alò, li va sèvi nou pandan sis ane, men nan setyèm ane a, nou va ba li libète.
And if your brother, an Hebrew man, or an Hebrew woman, be sold to you, and serve you six years; then in the seventh year you shall let him go free from you.
13 Lè nou lage li, nou p ap voye li ale men vid.
And when you send him out free from you, you shall not let him go away empty:
14 Nou va byen founi li soti nan bann mouton an, rekòlt jaden ak nan sitèn diven an. Nou va ba li jan SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, te beni nou an.
You shall furnish him liberally out of your flock, and out of your floor, and out of your wine press: of that with which the LORD your God has blessed you you shall give to him.
15 Nou va sonje ke nou te esklav nan peyi Égypte la, e SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, te peye ranson nou. Pou sa, mwen kòmande nou sa, jodi a.
And you shall remember that you were a slave in the land of Egypt, and the LORD your God redeemed you: therefore I command you this thing to day.
16 “Li va vin rive ke si li di nou: “Mwen p ap sòti kite nou,” paske li renmen nou avèk tout lakay nou, akoz ke sa mache byen pou li avèk nou;
And it shall be, if he say to you, I will not go away from you; because he loves you and your house, because he is well with you;
17 alò, nou va pran yon pik byen file pou pèse zòrèy li nèt antre nan poto pòt la, epi li va sèvitè nou nèt. Osi, nou va fè menm bagay la avèk sèvant yo.
Then you shall take an awl, and thrust it through his ear to the door, and he shall be your servant for ever. And also to your maidservant you shall do likewise.
18 Li p ap sanble li difisil pou nou lè nou lage li, paske li te bannou sis ane nan doub sèvis yon anplwaye. Konsa, SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, va beni nou nan nenpòt sa nou fè.
It shall not seem hard to you, when you send him away free from you; for he has been worth a double hired servant to you, in serving you six years: and the LORD your God shall bless you in all that you do.
19 “Nou va konsakre a SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, tout mal premye ne ki fèt nan twoupo oswa bann mouton nou yo. Nou p ap travay avèk premye ne nan twoupo nou, ni taye lenn nan premye ne nan bann mouton an.
All the firstling males that come of your herd and of your flock you shall sanctify to the LORD your God: you shall do no work with the firstling of your bullock, nor shear the firstling of your sheep.
20 Nou avèk tout lakay nou va manje li chak ane devan SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, nan kote ke SENYÈ a chwazi a.
You shall eat it before the LORD your God year by year in the place which the LORD shall choose, you and your household.
21 “Men si li gen yon defo, tankou bwate, avèg, oswa nenpòt gwo defo, nou pa pou fè sakrifis li bay SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an.
And if there be any blemish therein, as if it be lame, or blind, or have any ill blemish, you shall not sacrifice it to the LORD your God.
22 Nou va manje li anndan pòtay nou yo. Pa pwòp la avèk pwòp la menm jan an, tankou yon kabrit mawon oswa yon sèf.
You shall eat it within your gates: the unclean and the clean person shall eat it alike, as the roebuck, and as the hart.
23 Sèlman, nou p ap bwè san li. Nou dwe vide li atè tankou dlo.
Only you shall not eat the blood thereof; you shall pour it on the ground as water.
