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 you have made a Passover to your God YHWH, for in the month of Abib your God YHWH has brought you 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 you have sacrificed a Passover to your God YHWH, of the flock and of the herd, in the place which YHWH chooses 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.
You do not eat any fermented thing with it; [for] seven days you eat unleavened things with it, bread of affliction (for you have come out of the land of Egypt in haste), so that you remember the day of your coming out of the land of Egypt all [the] days of your 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 leaven is not seen with you in all your border [for] seven days, and there does not remain [any] of the flesh which you sacrifice at evening on the first day until morning.
5 “Nou pa kapab fè sakrifis Pak la nan nenpòt nan vil ke SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, ap bannou yo,
You are not able to sacrifice the Passover within any of your gates which your God YHWH is giving to you,
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.
except at the place which your God YHWH chooses to cause His Name to dwell—there you sacrifice the Passover in the evening, at the going in of the sun, the season of your coming 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 you have cooked and eaten in the place on which your God YHWH fixes, and have turned in the morning and gone to your 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.
[for] six days you eat unleavened things, and on the seventh day [is] a restraint to your God YHWH; you do no work.
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.
You number seven weeks for yourself; you begin to number seven weeks from the beginning of the sickle among the standing grain,
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 you have observed the Celebration of Weeks to your God YHWH, a tribute of a free-will offering of your hand, which you give as your God YHWH blesses you.
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 you have rejoiced before your God YHWH, you, and your son, and your daughter, and your manservant, and your handmaid, and the Levite who [is] within your gates, and the sojourner, and the fatherless, and the widow, who [are] in your midst, in the place which your God YHWH chooses 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 you have remembered that you have been a servant in Egypt, and have observed and done these statutes.
13 “Nou va selebre Fèt Tonèl yo sèt jou apre nou fin fè antre, tout grenn jaden ak sitèn diven an.
You observe the Celebration of Shelters for yourself [for] seven days, in your ingathering of your threshing-floor and of your wine-vat;
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 you have rejoiced in your celebration, you, and your son, and your daughter, and your manservant, and your handmaid, and the Levite, and the sojourner, and the fatherless, and the widow, who [are] within your 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.
[For] seven days you celebrate before your God YHWH in the place which YHWH chooses, for your God YHWH blesses you in all your increase and in every work of your hands, and you have been only rejoicing.
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 all of your males appear before your God YHWH in the place which He chooses: in the Celebration of Unleavened Things, and in the Celebration of Weeks, and in the Celebration of Shelters; and they do not appear before YHWH empty;
17 Chak moun va bay jan li kapab, selon benediksyon SENYÈ a, te bannou an.
each [gives] according to the gift of his hand, according to the blessing of your God YHWH, which He has given to you.
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.
You set for yourself judges and authorities within all your gates which your God YHWH is giving to you, for your tribes; and they have judged the people [with] a 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.
You do not turn aside judgment; you do not discern faces, nor take a bribe, for the bribe blinds the eyes of the wise and perverts 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.
Righteousness—you pursue righteousness, so that you live and have possessed the land which your God YHWH is giving to you.
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.
You do not plant an Asherah of any trees for yourself near the altar of your God YHWH, which you make for yourself,
22 Nou pa pou etabli pou kont nou okenn wòch sakre ke SENYÈ Bondye nou an, rayi.
and you do not raise up any standing image for yourself which your God YHWH is hating.”
