Deteronòm 23
1 “Nanpwen pèsòn avèk boul grenn li kraze oswa koupe ki va antre nan asanble SENYÈ a.
No man whose private parts have been wounded or cut off may come into the meeting of the Lord's people.
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.
One whose father and mother are not married may not come into the meeting of the Lord's people, or any of his family 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 people to the tenth generation may come into the meeting of the Lord's people:
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.
Because they gave you no bread or water on your way, when you came out of Egypt: and they got Balaam, the son of Peor, from Pethor in Aram-naharaim to put curses on 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.
But the Lord your God would not give ear to Balaam, but let the curse be changed into a blessing to you, because of his love for you.
6 Nou pa pou chache lapè pou yo, ni pwosperite yo pandan tout jou nou yo.
Do nothing for their peace or well-being for ever.
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.
But have no hate for an Edomite, because he is your brother, or for an Egyptian, for you were living in his land.
8 Fis a twazyèm jenerasyon ki fèt pou yo a kapab antre nan asanble SENYÈ a.
Their children in the third generation may come into the meeting of the Lord's people.
9 Lè nou sòti kòm yon lame kont lènmi nou yo, nou va evite tout kalite move bagay.
When you go out to war and put your tents in position, keep from every evil 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 through anything which has taken place in the night, he is to go out from the tent-circle and keep outside it:
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.
But when evening comes near, let him take a bath: and after sundown he may come back to the tents.
12 Ou va, osi, gen yon kote deyò kan an; epi se la ou gen pou ou ale pou eliminen pèsonèl.
Let there be a place outside the tent-circle to which you may go;
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 have among your arms a spade; and when you have been to that place, let that which comes from you be covered up with earth:
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 is walking among your tents, to keep you safe and to give up into your hands those who are fighting against you; then let your tents be holy, so that he may see no unclean thing among you, and be turned away from you.
15 Nou pa pou lonje remèt yon esklav ki te kouri kite mèt li pou rive kote nou.
Do not give back to his master a servant who has gone in flight from his master and come to 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 go on living among you in whatever place is most pleasing to him: do not be hard on 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 of Israel is to let herself be used as a loose woman for a strange god, and no son of Israel is to give himself to a man.
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.
Do not take into the house of the Lord your God, as an offering for an oath, the price of a loose woman or the money given to one used for sex purposes in the worship of the gods: for these two things are disgusting 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 take interest from an Israelite on anything, money or food or any other goods, which you let him have:
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.
From men of other nations you may take interest, but not from an Israelite: so that the blessing of the Lord your God may be on everything to which you put your hand, in the land which you are about to take as your heritage.
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.
When you take an oath to the Lord, do not be slow to give effect to it: for without doubt the Lord your God will make you responsible, and will put it to your account as sin.
22 Sepandan, si nou te evite fè ve a, sa pa t ap peche nan nou.
But if you take no oath, there will be no 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.
Whatever your lips have said, see that you do it; for you gave your word freely to the Lord your God.
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 go into your neighbour's vine-garden, you may take of his grapes at your pleasure, but you may not take them away in your vessel.
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 go into your neighbour's field, you may take the heads of grain with your hand; but you may not put your blade to his grain.
