Egzòd 20
1 Bondye te pale tout pawòl sa yo e te di:
And the Lord spoke all these words:
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 your God, who led you away from the land of Egypt, out of the house of servitude.
3 “Ou pa pou gen lòt dye devan M.
You shall not have strange gods before 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.
You shall not make for yourself a graven image, nor a likeness of anything that is in heaven above or on earth below, nor of those things which 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,
You shall not adore them, nor shall you worship them. I am the Lord your God: strong, zealous, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the sons to the third and fourth generation of those who 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 showing mercy to thousands of those who love me and keep my precepts.
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.”
You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain. For the Lord will not hold harmless one who takes the name of the Lord his God falsely.
8 Sonje jou Saba a pou kenbe l sen.
Remember that you are to sanctify the day of the Sabbath.
9 Si jou nou va travay e nou va fè tout travay nou yo,
For six days, you will work and accomplish all your tasks.
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 the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord your God. You shall not do any work in it: you and your son and your daughter, your male servant and your female servant, your beast and the newcomer who is within your gates.
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 heaven and earth, and the sea, and all the things that are in them, and so he rested on the seventh day. For this reason, the Lord has blessed the day of the Sabbath and sanctified 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.
Honor your father and your mother, so that you may have a long life upon the land, which the Lord your God will give to you.
13 Ou pa pou touye moun.
You shall not murder.
14 Ou pa pou fè adiltè.
You shall not commit adultery.
15 Ou pa pou vòlè.
You shall not steal.
16 Ou pa pou fè fo temwayaj kont vwazen ou.
You shall not speak false testimony against your neighbor.
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.
You shall not covet the house of your neighbor; neither shall you desire his wife, nor male servant, nor female servant, nor ox, nor donkey, nor anything that is his.”
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.
Then all the people considered the voices, and the lights, and the sound of the trumpet, and the smoking mountain. And being terrified and struck with fear, they stood at a distance,
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.”
saying to Moses: “Speak to us, and we will listen. Let not the Lord speak to us, lest perhaps we may 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 said to the people: “Do not be afraid. For God came in order to test you, and so that the dread of him might be with you, and you would not sin.”
21 Alò, pèp la te kanpe a yon distans, pandan Moïse te pwoche gwo nwaj la kote Bondye.
And the people stood far away. But Moses approached toward the mist, in which was God.
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.
Thereafter, the Lord said to Moses: “This you shall say to the sons of Israel: You 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.
You shall not make gods of silver, nor shall you make for yourselves gods of gold.
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.
You shall make an altar from the earth for me, and you shall offer upon it your holocausts and peace-offerings, your sheep and oxen, in every place where the memory of my name shall be. I will come to you, and I will bless you.
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 you make an altar of stone for me, you shall not build it from cut stones; for if you lift up a tool over it, it will be defiled.
26 Epi nou pa pou monte nan eskalye vè lotèl Mwen, pou nidite nou pa parèt a li.’”
You shall not ascend by steps to my altar, lest your nakedness be revealed.”
