Deteronòm 16

1 “Obsève mwa Abib lan pou selebre Pak a SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an; paske nan mwa Abib la, SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, te mennen nou sòti an Égypte nan nwit lan.

Observe the month of Abib, and keep the passover unto Jehovah thy God; for in the month of Abib Jehovah thy God brought thee forth out of Egypt by night.

2 Nou va fè sakrifis Pak a SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, soti nan bann mouton avèk twoupo a, kote SENYÈ a chwazi pou etabli non Li an.

And thou shalt sacrifice the passover unto Jehovah thy God, of the flock and the herd, in the place which Jehovah shall choose, to cause his name to dwell there.

3 “Nou p ap manje pen ak ledven avè l. Sèt jou, nou va manje nan li pen san ledven, pen afliksyon an (paske nou te sòti nan peyi Égypte la prese prese), pou nou kab sonje tout jou sa a tout lavi nou, jou ke nou te sòti nan peyi Égypte la.

Thou shalt eat no leavened bread with it; seven days shalt thou eat unleavened bread therewith, even the bread of affliction; for thou camest forth out of the land of Egypt in haste: that thou mayest remember the day when thou camest forth out of the land of Egypt all the days of thy life.

4 Pandan sèt jou, p ap gen ledven k ap parèt pami nou nan tout teritwa nou yo; ni okenn nan chè ke nou sakrifye nan aswè premye jou a, p ap rete tout nwit lan pou rive maten.

And there shall be no leaven seen with thee in all thy borders seven days; neither shall any of the flesh, which thou sacrificest the first day at even, remain all night until the morning.

5 “Nou pa kapab fè sakrifis Pak la nan nenpòt nan vil ke SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, ap bannou yo,

Thou mayest not sacrifice the passover within any of thy gates, which Jehovah thy God giveth thee;

6 men kote SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, chwazi pou etabli non Li an, nou va fè sakrifis Pak la nan aswè, nan lè solèy kouche, nan menm lè jou ke nou te sòti an Égypte la.

but at the place which Jehovah thy God shall choose, to cause his name to dwell in, there thou shalt sacrifice the passover at even, at the going down of the sun, at the season that thou camest forth out of Egypt.

7 Nou va kwit e manje li nan plas ke SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, chwazi a. Nan maten, nou va retounen nan tant yo.

And thou shalt roast and eat it in the place which Jehovah thy God shall choose: and thou shalt turn in the morning, and go unto thy tents.

8 Sis jou, nou va manje pen san ledven an. Konsa, nan setyèm jou a, va genyen yon konvokasyon solanèl a SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an. Nou pa pou fè okenn travay nan li.

Six days thou shalt eat unleavened bread; and on the seventh day shall be a solemn assembly to Jehovah thy God; thou shalt do no work [therein].

9 “Nou va kontwole sèt semèn pou kont nou. Nou va kòmanse konte sèt semèn yo soti nan lè nou kòmanse mete kouto nan grenn sereyal la.

Seven weeks shalt thou number unto thee: from the time thou beginnest to put the sickle to the standing grain shalt thou begin to number seven weeks.

10 Epi nou va selebre Fèt Semèn a SENYÈ yo, Bondye nou an, avèk don a yon ofrann bòn volonte nan men nou, ke nou va bay selon jan SENYÈ a beni nou.

And thou shalt keep the feast of weeks unto Jehovah thy God with a tribute of a freewill-offering of thy hand, which thou shalt give, according as Jehovah thy God blesseth thee:

11 Konsa, nou va rejwi devan SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, nou menm avèk fis nou ak fi nou yo, sèvitè avèk sèvant nou yo, Levit ki nan vil nou an, e etranje avèk òfelen ak vèv ki nan mitan nou yo, nan kote ke SENYÈ Bondye nou an, chwazi pou etabli non Li an.

and thou shalt rejoice before Jehovah thy God, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, and thy man-servant, and thy maid-servant, and the Levite that is within thy gates, and the sojourner, and the fatherless, and the widow, that are in the midst of thee, in the place which Jehovah thy God shall choose, to cause his name to dwell there.

12 Nou va sonje ke nou te esklav an Égypte, e nou va fè atansyon pou obsève tout lwa sa yo.

And thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in Egypt: and thou shalt observe and do these statutes.

13 “Nou va selebre Fèt Tonèl yo sèt jou apre nou fin fè antre, tout grenn jaden ak sitèn diven an.

Thou shalt keep the feast of tabernacles seven days, after that thou hast gathered in from thy threshing-floor and from thy winepress:

14 Nou va rejwi nan fèt nou, nou menm avèk fis nou ak fi nou yo, sèvitè ak sèvant nou yo, Levit la ak etranje a, òfelen ak vèv ki nan vil nou yo.

and thou shalt rejoice in thy feast, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, and thy man-servant, and thy maid-servant, and the Levite, and the sojourner, and the fatherless, and the widow, that are within thy gates.

15 Sèt jou, nou va selebre yon fèt a SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, kote ke SENYÈ a chwazi a, akoz SENYÈ Bondye nou an, va beni nou nan rekòlt nou yo ak nan tout travay men nou yo, pou nou kab vin ranpli nèt avèk jwa.

Seven days shalt thou keep a feast unto Jehovah thy God in the place which Jehovah shall choose; because Jehovah thy God will bless thee in all thine increase, and in all the work of thy hands, and thou shalt be altogether joyful.

16 “Twa fwa pa ane, tout mal nou yo va parèt devan SENYÈ, Bondye nou an, kote Li chwazi a, nan Fèt Pen San Ledven an, nan Fèt Semèn yo, nan Fèt Tonèl yo, e yo p ap parèt devan SENYÈ a men vid.

Three times in a year shall all thy males appear before Jehovah thy God in the place which he shall choose: in the feast of unleavened bread, and in the feast of weeks, and in the feast of tabernacles; and they shall not appear before Jehovah empty:

17 Chak moun va bay jan li kapab, selon benediksyon SENYÈ a, te bannou an.

every man shall give as he is able, according to the blessing of Jehovah thy God which he hath given thee.

18 “Nou va chwazi pou nou menm jij avèk ofisye nan tout vil ke SENYÈ, Bondye nou an, ap bannou yo, selon tribi yo, e yo va jije pèp la avèk jijman ki dwat.

Judges and officers shalt thou make thee in all thy gates, which Jehovah thy God giveth thee, according to thy tribes; and they shall judge the people with righteous judgment.

19 Nou p ap tòde jistis la. Nou p ap fè patipri, e nou p ap pran anyen anba tab; paske afè anba tab avegle zye a saj yo, e pèvèti pawòl a sila ki dwat yo.

Thou shalt not wrest justice: thou shalt not respect persons; neither shalt thou take a bribe; for a bribe doth blind the eyes of the wise, and pervert the words of the righteous.

20 Lajistis e se sèl lajistis nou va swiv, pou nou kapab viv e posede peyi ke SENYÈ, Bondye nou an, ap bannou an.

That which is altogether just shalt thou follow, that thou mayest live, and inherit the land which Jehovah thy God giveth thee.

21 “Nou pa pou plante pou kont nou yon Ashera, ni okenn kalite pyebwa akote lotèl SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, ke nou va fè pou tèt nou.

Thou shalt not plant thee an Asherah of any kind of tree beside the altar of Jehovah thy God, which thou shalt make thee.

22 Nou pa pou etabli pou kont nou okenn wòch sakre ke SENYÈ Bondye nou an, rayi.

Neither shalt thou set thee up a pillar; which Jehovah thy God hateth.
