Egzòd 20
1 Bondye te pale tout pawòl sa yo e te di:
And the Lord spoke all these words, saying:
2 “Mwen menm se SENYÈ a Bondye ou a, ki te mennen ou sòti deyò nan peyi Égypte la, deyò kay esklavaj la.
I am the Lord thy God, who brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
3 “Ou pa pou gen lòt dye devan M.
Thou shalt have no other gods beside me.
4 “Ou pa pou fè pou kont ou, yon zidòl, ni okenn imaj sou sa ki nan syèl la anwo, ni sou latè anba, ni nan dlo anba tè a.
Thou shalt not make to thyself an idol, nor likeness of anything, whatever things are in the heaven above, and whatever are in the earth beneath, and whatever are in the waters under the earth.
5 “Ou pa pou adore yo ni sèvi yo. Paske Mwen, SENYÈ a, Bondye pa w la. Mwen se yon Bondye jalou, k ap 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 down to them, nor serve them; for I am the Lord thy God, a jealous God, recompensing the sins of the fathers upon the children, to the third and fourth generation to them that hate me,
6 men k ap montre lanmou dous ak mizerikòd pami dè milye a sila ki renmen M, e ki kenbe kòmandman Mwen yo.
and bestowing mercy on them that love me to thousands [of them], and on them that keep my commandments.
7 “Ou pa pou pran non SENYÈ a an ven, paske SENYÈ a p ap kite sila a ki mal sèvi ak non Li an san pinisyon.”
Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain; for the Lord thy God will not acquit him that takes his name in vain.
8 Sonje jou Saba a pou kenbe l sen.
Remember the sabbath day to keep it holy.
9 Si jou nou va travay e nou va fè tout travay nou yo,
Six days thou shalt labour, and shalt perform all thy work.
10 men setyèm jou a se yon jou Saba a SENYÈ a Bondye nou an. Ladann l ou pa pou fè okenn travay; ni ou menm, ni fis ou, ni fi ou, ni sèvitè ou, ni sèvant ou, ni bèf ou, ni etranje ki demere avèk ou.
But on the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord thy God; on it thou shalt do no work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy servant nor thy maidservant, thine ox nor thine ass, nor any cattle of thine, nor the stranger that sojourns with thee.
11 Paske nan si jou, SENYÈ a te fè syèl la avèk tè a, lanmè a, ak tout sa ki gen ladann, e Li te repoze nan setyèm jou a. Konsa, SENYÈ a te beni jou Saba a, e te fè l sen.
For in six days the Lord made the heaven and the earth, and the sea and all things in them, and rested on the seventh day; therefore the Lord blessed the seventh day, and hallowed it.
12 Onore papa ou avèk manman ou, pou jou lavi ou yo kapab anpil nan peyi ke SENYÈ a, Bondye ou a te bay ou.
Honour thy father and thy mother, that it may be well with thee, and that thou mayest live long on the good land, which the Lord thy God gives to thee.
13 Ou pa pou touye moun.
Thou shalt not commit adultery.
14 Ou pa pou fè adiltè.
Thou shalt not steal.
15 Ou pa pou vòlè.
Thou shalt not kill.
16 Ou pa pou fè fo temwayaj kont vwazen ou.
Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.
17 Ou pa pou fè anvi sou lakay vwazen ou; ou pa pou fè anvi sou madanm vwazen ou, ni sèvant li, ni sèvitè li, ni bèf li, ni bourik li, ni okenn bagay ki pou vwazen ou.
Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife; thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house; nor his field, nor his servant, nor his maid, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any of his cattle, nor whatever belongs to thy neighbour.
18 Tout pèp la te tande gwonde tonnè avèk kout loray ak son a twonpèt la, ak mòn nan ki t ap fè lafimen. Lè pèp la te wè li, yo te tranble e te kanpe a yon distans.
And all the people perceived the thundering, and the flashes, and the voice of the trumpet, and the mountain smoking; and all the people feared and stood afar off,
19 Konsa, yo te di Moïse: “Pale avèk nou ou menm, e nou va koute; men pa kite Bondye pale avèk nou, oswa nou va mouri.”
and said to Moses, Speak thou to us, and let not God speak to us, lest we die.
20 Moïse te di a pèp la: “Pa pè, paske Bondye vini pou pase nou a leprèv, e pou lakrent Li kapab rete avèk nou, pou nou pa peche.”
And Moses says to them, Be of good courage, for God is come to you to try you, that his fear may be among you, that ye sin not.
21 Alò, pèp la te kanpe a yon distans, pandan Moïse te pwoche gwo nwaj la kote Bondye.
And the people stood afar off, and Moses went into the darkness where God was.
22 Alò SENYÈ a te di a Moïse: “Konsa ou va pale avèk fis Israël yo: ‘Nou menm, nou gen tan wè ke Mwen te pale avèk nou depi nan syèl la.
And the Lord said to Moses, Thus shalt thou say to the house of Jacob, and thou shalt report it to the children of Israel, Ye have seen that I have spoken to you from heaven.
23 Nou pa pou fè lòt dye apati de Mwen menm; dye an ajan, ni dye an lò, nou pa pou fè yo pou nou menm.
Ye shall not make to yourselves gods of silver, and gods of gold ye shall not make to yourselves.
24 “‘Nou va fè yon lotèl avèk tè pou Mwen, e nou va fè sakrifis sou li nan ofrann brile, ak ofrann lapè, mouton nou yo, avèk bèf nou yo. Nan chak plas kote Mwen fè non Mwen sonje, Mwen va vin kote nou, e Mwen va beni nou.
Ye shall make to me an altar of earth; and upon it ye shall sacrifice your whole burnt-offerings, and your peace-offerings, and your sheep and your calves in every place, where I shall record my name; and I will come to thee and bless thee.
25 “‘Si nou fè yon lotèl avèk wòch pou mwen, nou pa pou fè l avèk wòch taye, paske si ou itilize zouti ou sou li, li vin pa sen ankò.
And if thou wilt make to me an altar of stones, thou shalt not build them hewn [stones]; for thou hast lifted up thy tool upon them, and they are defiled.
26 Epi nou pa pou monte nan eskalye vè lotèl Mwen, pou nidite nou pa parèt a li.’”
Thou shalt not go up to my altar by steps, that thou mayest not uncover thy nakedness upon it.
