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.
Then called Moses unto all Israel and said unto them—Hear, O Israel, the statutes and the regulations, which I am speaking in your ears to-day, —so shall ye learn them, and observe to do them.
2 SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, te fè yon akò avèk nou nan Horeb.
Yahweh our God, solemnised with us a covenant in 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.
not with our fathers did Yahweh solemnise this covenant, —but with us, ourselves—these here to-day, all of us living.
4 “SENYÈ a te pale fasafas avèk nou nan mòn nan soti nan mitan dife a,
Face to face, spake Yahweh with you in the mount out of the midst of the 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 standing between Yahweh and you, at that time, to declare unto you the word of Yahweh, —for ye shrank with fear from the presence of the fire, and went not up in the mount) saying: —
6 ‘Mwen se SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, ki te mennen nou sòti nan peyi Égypte la, andeyò kay esklavaj la.
I, am Yahweh thy God, who have brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt out of the house of servants: —
7 ‘Nou pa pou gen lòt dye devan Mwen.
Thou shalt not have other gods, besides me:
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.
Thou shalt not make unto thee an image, any form that is in the heavens above, or that is in the earth beneath or that is in the waters beneath 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,
thou shalt not bow thyself down to them nor be led to serve them, —for, I Yahweh thy God, am a jealous GOD, visiting the iniquity of fathers upon sons even unto three generations and unto four, unto them that hate me;
10 men ki montre lanmou dous a anpil milye, a sila ki renmen Mwen yo e ki kenbe kòmandman Mwen yo.
but shewing lovingkindness unto a thousand generation—unto them who love me, and keep my commandments:
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.
Thou shalt not utter the name of Yahweh thy God, for falsehood, —for Yahweh will not let him go unpunished who uttereth his name for falsehood:
12 ‘Obsève jou Saba a pou kenbe l sen, jan SENYÈ a Bondye nou an te kòmande nou an.
Observe the sabbath day, to hallow it, —as Yahweh thy God, hath commanded thee:
13 ‘Pandan sis jou, nou va travay pou fè tout zèv nou yo,
six days, shalt thou labour, and do all thy 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.
but, the seventh day, is a sabbath unto Yahweh thy God, —thou shalt do no work—thou nor thy son nor thy daughter nor thy servant nor thy handmaid nor thine ox nor thine ass nor any of thy cattle, nor thy sojourner who is within thy gates, that thy servant and thy handmaid may rest, as well as thou.
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.
So shalt thou remember that a servant, wast thou in the land of Egypt, and that Yahweh thy God brought thee forth from thence, with a firm hand, and with a stretched-out arm, —for this cause, hath Yahweh thy God commanded thee to keep 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.
Honour thy father and thy mother, as Yahweh thy God hath commanded thee, —that thy days may be prolonged and that it may go well with thee, upon the soil which Yahweh thy God is about to give unto thee:
17 Nou pa pou touye moun.
Thou shalt not commit murder:
18 Nou pa pou fè adiltè.
Neither shalt thou commit adultery:
19 Nou pa pou vòlè.
Neither shalt thou steal:
20 Nou pa pou fè fo temwayaj kont vwazen nou.
Neither shalt thou testify against thy neighbour with a witness of falsehood:
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.’”
Neither shalt thou covet thy neighbour’s wife, —neither shalt thou desire thy neighbour’s house, his field, or his servant, or his handmaid, his ox or his ass, or anything that is thy neighbour’s.
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.
These words, spake Yahweh unto all the convocation of you in the mount out of the midst of the fire the cloud and the thick gloom, a loud voice, and added not, —and he wrote them upon two tables of stone, and gave them unto 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.
And it came to pass, when ye heard the voice out of the midst of the darkness, the mountain also burning with fire, then drew ye near unto me, even all the heads of your tribes and your elders,
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.
and ye said—Lo! Yahweh our God hath let us see his glory and his greatness, his voice also, have we heard out of the midst of the fire, —this day, have we seen, that God may speak with man who yet may live.
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.
Now, therefore why should we die? for this great fire, will consume, us, —if we ourselves, hear the voice of Yahweh our God any more, we shall 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?
For who [is there] of all flesh, that ever heard the voice of a Living God speaking out of the midst of fire as we, and yet lived?
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.”
Go, thou, near, and hear, all that Yahweh our God shall say, —so shalt thou speak unto us, all that Yahweh our God shall speak unto thee and we will hear and do.
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.
And Yahweh heard the voice of your words, when ye spake unto me, —and Yahweh said unto me—I have heard the voice of the words of this people which they have spoken unto thee, they have well said all which they have spoken.
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.
Oh that this their heart might remain in them to revere me, and to keep all my commandments all the days, —that it might be well with them and with their sons unto times age-abiding.
30 Ale di yo: “Retounen nan tant nou”.
Go, say unto them, —Return ye 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.’
Thou, therefore here stand with me and let me speak unto thee—all the commandment and the statutes and the regulations which thou shalt teach them, —that they may do [them] in the land which I am giving unto them to possess it.
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.
So then ye must observe to do, as Yahweh your God hath commanded you, —ye must not turn aside to the right hand or 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.
In all the way which Yahweh your God hath commanded you, must ye walk, —that ye may live and it be well with you, and that ye may prolong your days in the land, which ye shall possess.
