Deteronòm 5
1 Konsa, Moïse te rele tout Israël e te di yo: “Koute, O Israël, lwa avèk règleman ke mwen va pale jodi a yo nan tande pa nou, pou nou kapab aprann yo e swiv yo avèk atansyon.
And Moses summoned all of Israel, and he said to them: “Listen, O Israel, to the ceremonies and judgments, which I am speaking to your ears on this day. Learn them, and fulfill them in deed.
2 SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, te fè yon akò avèk nou nan Horeb.
The Lord our God formed a covenant with us at Horeb.
3 SENYÈ a pa t fè akò sa a avèk zansèt nou yo, men avèk nou, nou tout ki vivan isit la jodi a.
He did not make the covenant with our fathers, but with us, who are alive and in the present time.
4 “SENYÈ a te pale fasafas avèk nou nan mòn nan soti nan mitan dife a,
He spoke to us face to face on the mountain, from the midst of fire.
5 pandan mwen te kanpe devan SENYÈ a ak nou menm, nan tan sa a, pou deklare a nou pawòl a SENYÈ a. Paske nou te pè akoz dife a, e nou pa t monte nan mòn nan. Li te di:
I was the mediator, for I was in the middle between the Lord and you, at that time, to announce his words to you. For you were afraid of the fire, and so you did not ascend to the mountain. And he said:
6 ‘Mwen se SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, ki te mennen nou sòti nan peyi Égypte la, andeyò kay esklavaj la.
‘I am the Lord your God, who led you away from the land of Egypt, from the house of servitude.
7 ‘Nou pa pou gen lòt dye devan Mwen.
You shall not have strange gods in my sight.
8 ‘Nou pa pou fè pou nou menm okenn zidòl, ni okenn imaj a sila ki anwo nan syèl la, ni anba sou tè a, ni nan dlo anba tè a.
You shall not make for yourself a graven image, nor the likeness of anything, which is in heaven above, or on earth below, or which abides in the waters under the earth.
9 Nou pa pou adore yo ni sèvi yo; paske Mwen, SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, se yon Dye jalou, ki vizite inikite a papa yo sou pitit yo, jis rive nan twazyèm ak katriyèm jenerasyon a sila ki rayi Mwen yo,
You shall not adore and you shall not worship these things. For I am the Lord your God, a jealous God, repaying the iniquity of the fathers upon the sons to the third and fourth generation to those who hate me,
10 men ki montre lanmou dous a anpil milye, a sila ki renmen Mwen yo e ki kenbe kòmandman Mwen yo.
and acting with mercy in thousands of ways to those who love me and keep my precepts.
11 ‘Nou pa pou pran non SENYÈ a an ven, paske SENYÈ a p ap kite sila a ki pran non li an ven an san pinisyon.
You shall not use the name of the Lord your God in vain. For he will not go unpunished who takes up his name over an unimportant matter.
12 ‘Obsève jou Saba a pou kenbe l sen, jan SENYÈ a Bondye nou an te kòmande nou an.
Observe the day of the Sabbath, so that you may sanctify it, just as the Lord your God has instructed you.
13 ‘Pandan sis jou, nou va travay pou fè tout zèv nou yo,
For six days, you shall labor and do all your work.
14 men setyèm jou a, se yon Saba a SENYÈ Bondye nou an. Nou pa pou fè okenn travay, ni nou menm ni fis nou, ni fi nou, ni sèvitè nou, ni sèvant nou, ni bèf kabwèt nou, ni bourik nou, ni okenn nan bèf nou yo, ni etranje ki vin demere pami nou, pou sèvitè avèk sèvant lan kapab pran repo menm jan ak nou.
The seventh is the day of the Sabbath, that is, the rest of the Lord your God. You shall not do any work in it, nor shall your son, nor daughter, nor man servant, nor woman servant, nor ox, nor donkey, nor any of your cattle, nor the sojourner who is within your gates, so that your men and woman servants may rest, just as you do.
15 Nou va sonje ke nou te esklav nan peyi Égypte la, e ke SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, te mennen nou sòti la avèk yon men pwisan, e ak bra Li ki lonje. Pou sa, SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, te kòmande nou pou obsève jou Saba a.
Remember that you also were servants in Egypt, and the Lord your God led you away from that place with a strong hand and an outstretched arm. Because of this, he has instructed you so that you would observe the Sabbath day.
16 ‘Onore papa nou avèk manman nou, jan SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, te kòmande nou an, pou jou nou yo kapab pwolonje, e pou sa kapab ale byen avèk nou nan peyi ke SENYÈ a bannou an.
Honor your father and mother, just as the Lord your God has instructed you, so that you may live a long time, and so that it may be well with you in the land, which the Lord your God will give to you.
17 Nou pa pou touye moun.
You shall not murder.
18 Nou pa pou fè adiltè.
And you shall not commit adultery.
19 Nou pa pou vòlè.
And you shall not commit theft.
20 Nou pa pou fè fo temwayaj kont vwazen nou.
Neither shall you speak false testimony against your neighbor.
21 Nou pa pou anvi madanm vwazen nou, e nou pa pou anvi kay vwazen nou, chan li, oswa sèvitè li oswa sèvant li, bèf li, bourik li, ni okenn bagay ki pou vwazen nou.’”
You shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, nor his house, nor his field, nor his man servant, nor his woman servant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything out of all that is his.’
22 “Pawòl sa yo SENYÈ a te pale avèk tout asanble nou yo nan mòn nan soti nan mitan dife a, nan nwaj la nan gwo fènwa a, avèk yon gwo vwa. Li pa t mete anyen anplis. Li te ekri yo sou de tablo wòch e Li te ban mwen yo.
The Lord spoke these words to the entire multitude of you on the mountain, from the midst of the fire and the cloud and the darkness, with a loud voice, adding nothing more. And he wrote them on two tablets of stone, which he delivered to me.
23 “Konsa, lè nou te tande vwa a soti nan mitan fènwa a, pandan mòn nan te brile avèk dife a, nou te pwoche vè mwen, tout chèf tribi nou ak ansyen nou yo.
Then, after you heard the voice from the midst of the darkness, and you saw the mountain burning, you approached me, all you leaders of the tribes and those greater by birth. And you said:
24 Nou te di: “Gade byen, SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, te montre nou glwa Li avèk grandè Li, e nou te tande vwa Li soti nan mitan dife a. Nou te wè jodi a ke Bondye pale avèk lòm, malgre sa, li rete vivan.
‘Behold, the Lord our God has revealed to us his majesty and his greatness. We have heard his voice from the midst of fire, and we have proven today that, though God is speaking with man, man has lived.
25 “Alò, poukisa nou ta dwe mouri? Paske gran dife sila a va brile nou. Si nou tande vwa SENYÈ a toujou, alò, nou va mouri.
Therefore, why should we die, and why should this very great fire devour us? For if we hear the voice of the Lord our God any longer, we will die.
26 Paske se kilès ki fèt avèk chè ki tande vwa a Bondye vivan an k ap pale nan mitan dife a, tankou nou, e ki viv?
What is all flesh, that it would hear the voice of the living God, who speaks from the midst of fire, just as we have heard it, and be able to live?
27 Ou menm ale touprè Li pou tande tout sa ke SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an pale nou, e nou va tande sa pou nou fè.”
Instead, you should approach and listen to all the things that the Lord our God will say to you. And you will speak to us, and we will listen and do these things.’
28 “SENYÈ a te tande vwa a pawòl nou yo lè nou te pale avèk mwen, epi SENYÈ a te di mwen: ‘Mwen te tande vwa a pawòl a pèp sa a, ke yo te pale ak ou yo. Yo te fè byen nan sa ke yo te pale yo.
But when the Lord had heard this, he said to me: ‘I have heard the voice of the words of this people, which they spoke to you. All this, they have spoken well.
29 O ke yo ta tèlman gen yon kè nan yo pou yo ta krent Mwen e kenbe tout kòmandman Mwen yo tout tan, pou li ta kapab byen pou yo ak tout fis yo pou tout tan.
Who will grant to them to have such a mind, so that they may fear me, and may keep all my commandments at all times, so that it may be well with them and with their sons forever?
30 Ale di yo: “Retounen nan tant nou”.
Go and say to them: Return to your tents.
31 Men pou ou menm, kanpe isit la akote Mwen, pou Mwen kapab pale avèk ou tout kòmandman yo, lwa yo avèk jijman ke nou va montre yo pou yo kapab swiv yo nan peyi ke Mwen bay yo pou posede a.’
But as for you, stand here with me, and I will speak to you all my commandments and ceremonies, as well as judgments. These, you shall teach them, so that they may do them in the land, which I will give to them as a possession.
32 “Pou sa, nou va swiv e fè ojis jan SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, te kòmande nou an. Nou pa pou vire ni adwat, ni agoch.
And so, keep and do the things which the Lord God has commanded you. You shall not turn aside, neither to the right, nor to the left.
33 Nou va mache nan tout chemen ke SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, te kòmande nou an, pou nou kapab viv e pou sa kapab ale byen pou nou, pou jou nou yo kapab pwolonje nan peyi ke nou va posede a.
For you shall walk in the way that the Lord your God has instructed, so that you may live, and it may be well with you, and your days may be extended in the land of your possession.’”
