Deteronòm 23
1 “Nanpwen pèsòn avèk boul grenn li kraze oswa koupe ki va antre nan asanble SENYÈ a.
No man with crushed or severed genitals may enter the assembly of the LORD.
2 Nanpwen pèsòn ki ne nan yon relasyon ilejitim ki va antre nan asanble SENYÈ a. Ni okenn nan desandan li yo menm jis rive nan dizyèm jenerasyon p ap antre nan asanble SENYÈ a.
No one of illegitimate birth may enter the assembly of the LORD, nor may any of his descendants, even to the tenth generation.
3 Nanpwen Amonit ni Moabit ki va antre nan asanble SENYÈ a. Okenn nan desandan li yo menm jis rive nan dizyèm jenerasyon p ap antre nan asanble SENYÈ a,
No Ammonite or Moabite or any of their descendants may enter the assembly of the LORD, even to the tenth generation.
4 akoz yo pa t vin jwenn nou avèk manje ak dlo lè nou te sòti an Égypte la, epi akoz yo te achte sèvis Balaam, fis Beor ki sòti Pethor nan Mésopotamie pou modi nou.
For they did not meet you with food and water on your way out of Egypt, and they hired Balaam son of Beor from Pethor in Aram-naharaim to curse you.
5 Sepandan, SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, pa t dakò tande Balaam. Men SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, te vire madichon an pou l devni yon benediksyon pou nou akoz SENYÈ nou an renmen nou.
Yet the LORD your God would not listen to Balaam, and the LORD your God turned the curse into a blessing for you, because the LORD your God loves you.
6 Nou pa pou chache lapè pou yo, ni pwosperite yo pandan tout jou nou yo.
You are not to seek peace or prosperity from them as long as you live.
7 Nou pa pou meprize yon Edomit, paske li se frè nou. Nou pa pou meprize yon Ejipsyen, paske nou te yon etranje nan peyi li.
Do not despise an Edomite, for he is your brother. Do not despise an Egyptian, because you lived as a foreigner in his land.
8 Fis a twazyèm jenerasyon ki fèt pou yo a kapab antre nan asanble SENYÈ a.
The third generation of children born to them may enter the assembly of the LORD.
9 Lè nou sòti kòm yon lame kont lènmi nou yo, nou va evite tout kalite move bagay.
When you are encamped against your enemies, then you shall keep yourself from every wicked thing.
10 Si gen pami nou, yon nonm ki pa pwòp akoz li ejakile nan lannwit; alò, li oblije ale deyò kan an. Li pa kapab reantre nan kan an,
If any man among you becomes unclean because of a nocturnal emission, he must leave the camp and stay outside.
11 men li va fèt ke lè aswè rive, li va benyen tèt li avèk dlo. Konsa, lè solèy kouche, li kapab reantre nan kan an.
When evening approaches, he must wash with water, and when the sun sets he may return to the camp.
12 Ou va, osi, gen yon kote deyò kan an; epi se la ou gen pou ou ale pou eliminen pèsonèl.
You must have a place outside the camp to go and relieve yourself.
13 Konsa, nou va genyen yon pèl pami zouti nou yo, epi li va fèt ke lè nou chita deyò a, nou va fouye avèk li, e nou va kouvri poupou nou.
And you must have a digging tool in your equipment so that when you relieve yourself you can dig a hole and cover up your excrement.
14 Akoz SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, mache nan mitan kan nou yo pou delivre nou, e venk lènmi nou yo devan nou; pou sa, fòk kan nou yo sen. Fòk Li pa wè anyen ki pa pwòp pami nou; oswa, Li va vire kite nou.
For the LORD your God walks throughout your camp to protect you and deliver your enemies to you. Your camp must be holy, lest He see anything unclean among you and turn away from you.
15 Nou pa pou lonje remèt yon esklav ki te kouri kite mèt li pou rive kote nou.
Do not return a slave to his master if he has taken refuge with you.
16 Li va viv avèk nou nan mitan nou, nan yon kote li chwazi pami youn nan vil pa nou yo ki fè l plezi. Nou pa pou maltrete li.
Let him live among you wherever he chooses, in the town of his pleasing. Do not oppress him.
17 Okenn nan fi Israël yo p ap sèvi kòm pwostitiye nan tanp payen yo. Ni okenn nan fis Israël yo p ap sèvi pou pwostitiye nan tanp payen yo.
No daughter or son of Israel is to be a shrine prostitute.
18 Nou pa pou mennen salè a yon pwostitiye ni frè jounalye a yon chen pede pou antre lakay SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, pou okenn ofrann ve; paske toude sa yo abominab a SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an.
You must not bring the wages of a prostitute, whether female or male, into the house of the LORD your God to fulfill any vow, because both are detestable to the LORD your God.
19 Nou pa pou mande enterè lajan a sitwayen parèy nou yo: enterè sou lajan, manje, oswa nenpòt bagay ki kapab prete ak enterè.
Do not charge your brother interest on money, food, or any other type of loan.
20 Nou kapab tire enterè sou yon etranje; men pou sitwayen parèy nou, nou pa pou mande enterè, jis pou SENYÈ, Bondye nou an, kapab beni nou nan tout sa ke nou eseye fè nan peyi ke nou prèt pou antre posede a.
You may charge a foreigner interest, but not your brother, so that the LORD your God may bless you in everything to which you put your hand in the land that you are entering to possess.
21 Lè nou fè yon ve a SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, nou p ap pran reta pou peye li, paske sa ta yon peche nan ou, e SENYÈ, Bondye nou an, va, anverite, egzije l nan men nou.
If you make a vow to the LORD your God, do not be slow to keep it, because He will surely require it of you, and you will be guilty of sin.
22 Sepandan, si nou te evite fè ve a, sa pa t ap peche nan nou.
But if you refrain from making a vow, you will not be guilty of sin.
23 Nou va fè atansyon pou fè tout sa ki sòti nan lèv nou. Nenpòt jan ke nou te fè ve selon volonte SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, tout sa nou oblije fè.
Be careful to follow through on what comes from your lips, because you have freely vowed to the LORD your God with your own mouth.
24 Lè nou antre nan chan rezen vwazen nou, nou kapab manje rezen yo jiskaske vant nou plen; men nou pa pou mete nan panyen nou.
When you enter your neighbor’s vineyard, you may eat your fill of grapes, but you must not put any in your basket.
25 Lè nou antre nan chan sereyal ki pou vwazen nou, nou gen dwa rekòlte tèt grenn yo avèk men nou; men nou pa kapab voye kouto a nan rekòlt sereyal a vwazen nou an.
When you enter your neighbor’s grainfield, you may pluck the heads of grain with your hand, but you must not put a sickle to your neighbor’s grain.
