Deteronòm 17
1 “Nou p ap fè sakrifis a SENYÈ Bondye nou an, ni bèf, ni mouton ki gen fot oswa okenn defo; paske sa se yon bagay abominab a SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an.
Thou shalt offer vnto the Lord thy God no bullocke nor sheepe wherein is blemish or any euill fauoured thing: for that is an abomination vnto the Lord thy God.
2 “Si sa twouve nan mitan nou, nan okenn vil nou yo ke SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, ap bannou yo, yon nonm oswa yon fanm ki fè sa ki mal nan zye SENYÈ Bondye nou an, nan transgrese akò Li a,
If there be founde among you in any of thy cities, which the Lord thy God giueth thee, man or woman that hath wrought wickednes in the sight of the Lord thy God, in transgressing his couenant,
3 epi te ale sèvi lòt dye yo pou adore yo, kit se solèy la, lalin nan, oswa nenpòt nan lame syèl la, ke mwen pa te kòmande,
And hath gone and serued other gods, and worshipped them: as the sunne, or the moone, or any of the hoste of heauen, which I haue not commanded,
4 epi si yo di nou sa, e nou te tande sa, alò, nou va fè yon ankèt avèk dilijans. Veye byen, epi si se vrè, e se sèten ke bagay abominab sila a te fèt an Israël,
And it be tolde vnto thee, and thou hast heard it, then shalt thou inquire diligently: and if it be true, and the thing certaine, that such abomination is wrought in Israel,
5 alò, nou va mennen nonm sa a oswa fanm sa a ki te fè zak mechan sa a nan pòtay nou yo, e nou va lapide li ak kout wòch jiskaske li mouri.
Then shalt thou bring foorth that man, or that woman (which haue committed that wicked thing) vnto thy gates, whether it be man or woman, and shalt stone them with stones, til they die.
6 “Sou temwayaj a de temwen oswa twa temwen, sila ki dwe mouri an, va vin mete a lanmò. Li p ap mete a lanmò sou temwayaj a yon sèl temwen.
At the mouth of two or three witnesses shall he that is woorthie of death, die: but at the mouth of one witnesse, he shall not die.
7 Se men a temwen yo k ap premye kont li pou mete li a lanmò; epi apre, se men a tout pèp la. Konsa nou va netwaye mechanste a soti nan mitan ou.
The handes of the witnesses shall be first vpon him, to kill him: and afterward the hands of all the people: so thou shalt take the wicked away from among you.
8 “Si yon ka twò difisil pou nou deside, pa egzanp, a nivo touye moun, oswa yon lòt nivo, oswa yon kalite pwosè ak yon lòt, oswa antre blese moun ak yon lòt; alò, nou va mennen yo kote SENYÈ Bondye nou an, chwazi a.
If there rise a matter too harde for thee in iudgement betweene blood and blood, betweene plea and plea, betweene plague and plague, in the matters of controuersie within thy gates, then shalt thou arise, and goe vp vnto the place which the Lord thy God shall chuse,
9 “Konsa, nou va rive kote prèt Levit la ki se chèf la nan jou sa yo, nou va mande yo, e yo va deklare jijman sou ka a.
And thou shalt come vnto the Priestes of the Leuites, and vnto the iudge that shall be in those daies, and aske, and they shall shewe thee the sentence of iudgement,
10 Nou va konfòme avèk tèm a jijman sila ke yo te deklare a nou menm soti kote ke SENYÈ a chwazi a. Nou va fè atansyon pou obsève tout sa ke yo enstwi nou.
And thou shalt do according to that thing which they of that place (which the Lord hath chosen) shewe thee, and thou shalt obserue to doe according to all that they informe thee.
11 Selon tèm lalwa ke yo enstwi nou yo, e selon desizyon ke yo di nou, nou va fè yo. Nou pa pou vire akote pawòl ke yo deklare a nou menm yo, ni adwat, ni agoch.
According to the Lawe, which they shall teach thee, and according to the iudgement which they shall tell thee, shalt thou doe: thou shalt not decline from the thing which they shall shew thee, neither to the right hand, nor to the left.
12 “Nonm nan ki aji avèk ògèy e ki pa koute prèt la ki kanpe la a pou sèvi SENYÈ Bondye nou an, ni jij la, nonm sila a va mouri. Se konsa, nou va retire mal sa a soti an Israël.
And that man that wil doe presumptuously, not hearkening vnto the Priest (that standeth before the Lord thy God to minister there) or vnto the iudge, that man shall die, and thou shalt take away euill from Israel.
13 Epi tout pèp la va tande, pou gen krentif, e yo p ap aji avèk ògèy ankò.
So all the people shall heare and feare, and doe no more presumptuously.
14 “Lè nou antre nan peyi ke SENYÈ Bondye nou an, bannou an pou posede, e nou viv ladann, nou va di: ‘Annou mete yon wa sou nou tankou tout nasyon ki antoure nou yo’.
Whe thou shalt come vnto ye land which the Lord thy God giueth thee, and shalt possesse it, and dwell therein, if thou say, I will set a King ouer me, like as all the nations that are about me,
15 Nou va, anverite, mete yon wa ke SENYÈ a chwazi sou nou, youn ki soti nan sitwayen parèy nou yo, nou va mete l kòm wa sou nou. “Nou pa kapab mete yon etranje sou nou menm, ki pa sitwayen parèy nou.
Then thou shalt make him King ouer thee, whome the Lord thy God shall chuse: from among thy brethren shalt thou make a King ouer thee: thou shalt not set a stranger ouer thee, which is not thy brother.
16 Anplis, li p ap miltipliye cheval pou pwòp tèt li, ni li p ap fè pèp la retounen an Égypte pou miltipliye cheval; akoz SENYÈ a te di nou: ‘Nou p ap retounen la ankò.’
In any wise he shall not prepare him many horses, nor bring the people againe to Egypt, for to encrease the number of horses, seeing the Lord hath sayd vnto you, Ye shall henceforth goe no more againe that way.
17 Li p ap pran anpil fanm; sinon, kè li va detounen. Ni li p ap ranmase anpil ajan avèk lò pou tèt li.
Neither shall hee take him many wiues, lest his heart turne away, neither shall he gather him much siluer and golde.
18 “Alò, li va rive ke lè li chita sou twòn wayòm li an, li va ekri pou tèt li yon kopi de lwa sila a sou yon woulo papye, nan prezans prèt Levit yo.
And when he shall sit vpon the throne of his kingdo, then shall he write him this Law repeted in a booke, by the Priests of the Leuites.
19 Li va rete avèk li, e li va li li pandan tout jou lavi li, pou li kapab aprann gen krent SENYÈ a, Bondye li a, pou l swiv avèk atansyon tout pawòl lwa sa a, ak règleman sila yo, pou fè yo;
And it shall be with him, and he shall reade therein all daies of his life, that he may learne to feare the Lord his God, and to keepe all ye words of this Lawe, and these ordinances for to doe them:
20 e pou li pa konsidere tèt li pi bon ke Izrayelit parèy li yo, e ke li pa detounen de kòmandman an, ni adwat, ni agoch, dekwa ke li menm avèk fis li yo kapab dire anpil tan nan wayòm li a nan mitan Israël.
That his heart be not lifted vp aboue his brethren, and that he turne not from the commandement, to the right hand or to the left, but that he may prolong his daies in his kingdom, he, and his sonnes in the middes of Israel.
