< Deteronòm 24 >
1 “Lè yon nonm pran yon madanm pou marye avèk li, epi li rive ke li pa jwenn favè nan zye li, akoz ke li twouve kèk defo nan li, li ekri li yon sètifika divòs, mete sètifika a nan men li pou mete li deyò lakay li.
And if any one should take a wife, and should dwell with her, then it shall come to pass if she should not have found favour before him, because he has found some unbecoming thing in her, that he shall write for her a bill of divorcement, and give it into her hands, and he shall send her away out of his house.
2 Konsa, lè l kite kay li, li gen dwa pou ale devni madanm a yon lòt mesye.
And [if] she should go away and be married to another man;
3 Si dezyèm mari a vire kont li e ekri li yon sètifika divòs, e mete sètifika a nan men li pou mete li deyò lakay li; oswa, si dezyèm mari li te genyen an, vin mouri,
and the last husband should hate her, and write for her a bill of divorcement; and should give it into her hands, and send her away out of his house, and the last husband should die, who took her to himself for a wife;
4 premye mari ki te voye li ale a, pa gen dwa pran li ankò kòm madanm li, akoz sa konwonpi. Paske sa se yon bagay abominab devan SENYÈ a. “Epi nou pa pou mennen peche sou peyi ke SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, bannou kòm eritaj la.
the former husband who sent her away shall not be able to return and take her to himself for a wife, after she has been defiled; because it is an abomination before the Lord thy God, and ye shall not defile the land, which the Lord thy God gives thee to inherit.
5 “Lè yon nonm fenk pran yon madanm tounèf, li pa pou sòti avèk lame a, ni vin responsab okenn chaj. Li gen pou rete lib lakay li pandan 1 nan pou fè madanm ke li te pran an, gen kè kontan.
And if any one should have recently taken a wife, he shall not go out to war, neither shall any thing be laid upon him; he shall be free in his house; for one year he shall cheer his wife whom he has taken.
6 “Pèsòn pa pou pran wòch moulen anwo a kòm sekirite; paske se tankou li te pran vi a moun nan kòm sekirite.
Thou shalt not take for a pledge the under millstone, nor the upper millstone; for he who does so takes life for a pledge.
7 “Si yo pran yon moun nan kidnape nenpòt nan sitwayen fis Israël yo, epi li te trete l kon esklav, oswa li te vann li; alò, vòlè sila a va mouri. Konsa, nou va retire mechanste pami nou.
And if a man should be caught stealing one of his brethren of the children of Israel, and having overcome him he should sell him, that thief shall die; so shalt thou remove that evil one from yourselves.
8 “Fè atansyon kont enfeksyon lalèp, pou nou swiv avèk dilijans e fè tout sa ke prèt Levit yo te enstwi nou. Jan mwen te kòmande yo a, se konsa nou va fè atansyon pou nou fè.
Take heed to thyself in [regard of] the plague of leprosy: thou shalt take great heed to do according to all the law, which the priests the Levites shall report to you; take heed to do, as I have charged you.
9 Sonje sa ke SENYÈ Bondye nou an, te fè Marie nan chemen an pandan nou t ap sòti an Égypte la.
Remember all that the Lord thy God did to Mariam in the way, when ye were going out of Egypt.
10 “Lè nou fè nenpòt kalite prè a vwazen nou, nou pa pou antre lakay li pou pran garanti.
If thy neighbour owe thee a debt, any debt whatsoever, thou shalt not go into his house to take his pledge:
11 Nou va rete deyò, e nonm k ap resevwa prè a va pote garanti a deyò bannou.
thou shalt stand without, and the man who is in thy debt shall bring the pledge out to thee.
12 Si se yon malere, ou pa pou dòmi avèk garanti li.
And if the man be poor, thou shalt not sleep with his pledge.
13 Lè solèy la fin kouche, nou va, anverite, remèt garanti a li, pou li kapab dòmi nan manto li e beni nou. Sa va sèvi kòm ladwati pou nou devan SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an.
Thou shalt surely restore his pledge at sunset, and he shall sleep in his garment, and he shall bless thee; and it shall be mercy to thee before the Lord thy God.
14 Nou pa pou oprime yon sèvitè k ap travay pou nou ki malere e ki nan nesesite, kit se yon sitwayen parèy nou, oswa youn nan etranje nou yo ki rete nan peyi nou nan vil nou yo.
Thou shalt not unjustly withhold the wages of the poor and needy of thy brethren, or of the strangers who are in thy cities.
15 Nou va ba li salè li nan jou li avan solèy la kouche. Paske li se malere, e espwa kè li sou sa; jis pou li pa kriye kont nou vè SENYÈ a, pou sa devni yon peche nan nou.
Thou shalt pay him his wages the same day, the sun shall not go down upon it, because he is poor and he trusts in it; and he shall cry against thee to the Lord, and it shall be sin in thee.
16 “Papa yo p ap mete a lanmò pou zak kriminèl fis yo, ni fis a lanmò yo pou zak kriminèl papa yo. Tout moun ap vin mete a lanmò sèlman pou pwòp peche pa yo.
The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, and the sons shall not be put to death for the fathers; every one shall be put to death for his own sin.
17 “Nou pa pou tòde lajistis la ki se dwa a yon etranje, oswa yon òfelen, ni pran rad a yon vèv kòm garanti.
Thou shalt not wrest the judgment of the stranger and the fatherless, and widow; thou shalt not take the widow's garment for a pledge.
18 Men nou va sonje ke nou te esklav an Égypte, e ke SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, te peye ranson nou soti la. Akoz sa, mwen ap kòmande nou pou fè bagay sa a.
And thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in the land of Egypt, and the Lord thy God redeemed thee from thence; therefore I charge thee to do this thing.
19 “Lè nou fè rekòlt nou nan chan nou, men nou bliye yon pakèt nan chan an, nou pa pou retounen pran l. Li va pou etranje a, pou òfelen an ak pou vèv la, pou SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, kapab beni nou nan tout travay men nou yo.
And when thou shalt have reaped corn in thy field, and shalt have forgotten a sheaf in thy field, thou shalt not return to take it; it shall be for the stranger, and the orphan, and the widow, that the Lord thy God may bless thee in all the works of thy hands.
20 Lè nou keyi pye doliv la, nou pa pou pase sou branch yo yon dezyèm fwa. Li va pou etranje a, pou òfelen an ak pou vèv la.
And if thou shouldest gather thine olives, thou shalt not return to collect the remainder; it shall be for the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow, and thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in the land of Egypt; therefore I command thee to do this thing.
21 Lè nou rekòlte rezen nan chan rezen an, nou p ap pase sou li yon lòt fwa. Li va pou etranje a, pou òfelen an ak pou vèv la.
And when soever thou shalt gather the grapes of thy vineyard, thou shalt not glean what thou hast left; it shall be for the stranger, and the orphan, and the widow:
22 “Nou va sonje ke nou te yon esklav nan peyi Égypte la. Pou sa, mwen ap kòmande nou pou fè bagay sa a.
and thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in the land of Egypt; therefore I command thee to do this thing.
