Deteronòm 25
1 “Si gen yon konfli antre de mesye, epi yo ale devan tribinal lan pou jij yo deside ka yo, yo gen pou jistifye sila ki gen ladwati a, e kondane sila ki mechan an.
When there ariseth a controversy between men, and they come nigh unto judgment, and judgment is granted them, then shall they justify the righteous man, and condemn the lawless.
2 Konsa, li va rive ke si nonm ki mechan an, merite bat, jij la va fè li kouche, e fè bat li nan prezans li avèk fòs kantite kou ki koresponn avèk koupabilite li a.
And it shall be—if the lawless man be, worthy of stripes, then shall the judge cause him to lie down and be beaten before him, according to the measure of his lawlessness, by number:
3 Li kapab bat li karant fwa, men pa plis, jis pou li pa bat li avèk plis kou ke sa, epi frè nou an pa vin degrade nan zye nou.
forty stripes, may he give him not going beyond, —lest, if he do go beyond to smite him above these, with many stripes, then should thy brother be of no account in thine eyes.
4 “Nou pa pou mare bouch a bèf la pandan l ap travay moulen an.
Thou shalt not muzzle an ox when he is treading out the corn.
5 “Lè frè yo viv ansanm, youn nan yo mouri e li pa gen fis, madanm a sila ki mouri an p ap marye deyò fanmi an ak yon lòt mesye. Frè mari li a va antre nan li, epi pran li pou li menm kòm madanm pou fè devwa a yon frè mari a pou li.
When brethren dwell together, and one of them dieth, having, no son, the wife of the dead shall not marry outside to a stranger, —her husband’s brother, shall go in unto her, and take her unto him to wife and do for her as a husband’s brother.
6 Li va rive ke premye ne ke li fè a, li va pran non a frè mouri an, pou non li pa efase soti an Israël.
And it shall be, that, the firstborn which she beareth, shall succeed in the name of his brother who is dead, —so shall his name not be wiped out from Israel.
7 “Men si nonm nan pa vle pran madanm frè li a, alò, madanm frè li a va monte vè pòtay kote ansyen yo e di: ‘Frè mari mwen an refize etabli yon non pou frè li an Israël. Li pa dakò pou fè devwa a frè mari mwen.’
But, if the man like not to take his sister-in-law, then shall his sister-in-law go up unto the gate, unto the elders, and say—My husband’s brother hath refused, to raise up unto his brother a name in Israel, he is not willing to do as a husband’s brother unto me.
8 Alò, ansyen a vil li yo va voye li pale avèk li menm frè a. Epi si li pèsiste e li di: ‘Mwen pa vle pran li,’
Then shall the elders of his city call him and speak unto him, —and he shall stand and say, I like not to take her.
9 alò, madanm frè li a va vin vè li devan zye a ansyen yo, li va retire sandal li nan pye li, ekrache nan figi li; epi li va deklare: ‘Se konsa sa fèt a mesye ki pa bati kay frè li.’
Then shall his brother’s wife come near unto him in the presence of the elders, and draw his shoe from off his foot, and spit in his face, —and respond and say, Thus shall it be done unto the man who will not build up the house of his brother.
10 An Israël, non li va rele: “Lakay a sila yo retire sapat la”.
And his name shall be called in Israel, —The house of him who had his shoe drawn off.
11 “Si de mesye, yon mesye avèk yon sitwayen parèy li ap lite ansanm, si madanm nan prè pou livre mari li a sila ki ap frape li a, e lonje men l pou sezi pati jenital li,
When men strive together one with another, and the wife of the one draweth near to deliver her husband out of the hand of him that smiteth him, —and she putteth forth her hand, and seizeth him by his parts of shame,
12 alò, nou va koupe men li. Nou pa pou gen pitye pou li menm.
then shalt thou cut off her hand, thine eye shall not pity.
13 “Nou pa pou pote nan sak nou plizyè kalite pwa balans, yon gwo avèk yon piti.
Thou shalt not have in thy bag divers weights, —a great and a small.
14 Nou pa pou genyen lakay nou plizyè kalite mezi, yon gwo avèk yon piti.
Thou shalt not have in thy house divers measures, —a great and a small.
15 Nou va gen yon pwa balans ki bon e ki jis. Nou va gen yon mezi ki bon e ki jis, jis pou jou nou yo kapab pwolonje nan peyi ke SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an bannou an.
A weight full and just, shalt thou have, a measure full and just, shalt thou have, —that thy days may be prolonged upon the soil which Yahweh thy God is giving unto thee.
16 Paske tout moun ki fè bagay sa yo, tout moun ki aji avèk enjistis abominab a SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an.
For an abomination unto Yahweh thy God, is every one that doeth these things, —every one that doeth unjustly.
17 “Sonje sa ke Amalec te fè nou pandan nou te nan chemen pou sòti an Égypte la,
Remember that which Amalek did unto thee by the way when ye came forth out of Egypt;
18 kijan li te rankontre nou nan chemen an e te atake pami nou tout sila ki rete dèyè yo lè nou te fatige e san fòs la. Li pa t krent Bondye.
how he encountered thee by the way and cut off in thy rear all the worn-out behind thee, thou thyself, being weary and worn, —how he feared not God.
19 “Pou sa, li va vin rive ke lè SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, vin bannou repo de tout lènmi ki antoure nou yo, nan peyi ke SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, te bannou kòm eritaj pou posede a, nou va efase memwa a Amalec soti anba syèl la. Nou pa pou bliye sa.
Therefore shall it be when Yahweh thy God hath given thee rest from all thine enemies round about in the land which Yahweh thy God is giving unto thee for an inheritance to possess it, then shalt thou wipe out the remembrance of Amalek from under the heavens, —thou shalt not forget.
