Egzòd 20
1 Bondye te pale tout pawòl sa yo e te di:
God spoke all the following 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 out of Egypt, out of the land of your slavery.
3 “Ou pa pou gen lòt dye devan M.
You must not have any other gods except 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 must not make for yourself any kind of idol, whether in the form of anything in the heavens above, or on the earth beneath, or in the waters below.
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 must not bow down before them or worship them; for I am the Lord your God and I am passionately exclusive. I lay the consequences of the sin of those who hate me on their sons, grandsons, and great-grandsons;
6 men k ap montre lanmou dous ak mizerikòd pami dè milye a sila ki renmen M, e ki kenbe kòmandman Mwen yo.
but I show trustworthy love to the thousands of generations who love me and 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.”
You must not use the name of the Lord your God in a wrong way, for the Lord will not forgive anyone who uses his name in a wrong way.
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,
You have six days to work and earn your living,
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 to honor the Lord your God. On this day you must not do any work—not you, not your son or daughter, not your male slave or female slave or livestock, and not the foreigner who is staying with you.
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 the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and everything in them in six days, and then rested on the seventh day. That's why the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy.
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 mother, so that you may live a long time in the land that the Lord your God is giving you.
13 Ou pa pou touye moun.
You must not murder.
14 Ou pa pou fè adiltè.
You must not commit adultery.
15 Ou pa pou vòlè.
You must not steal.
16 Ou pa pou fè fo temwayaj kont vwazen ou.
You must not give false evidence against others.
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 must not desire to have anyone else's house. You must not desire to have their wife, or their male slave or female slave, or their ox or donkey, or anything else that belongs to them.”
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.
When all the people heard the thunder and the sound of the trumpet, and saw the lightning and the smoke from the mountain, they trembled with fear and stood a long way 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.”
“You speak to us, and we'll listen,” they said to Moses. “But don't let God speak to us, or we'll 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.”
Moses told them, “Do not be afraid, for God has only come to test you. He wants you to be in awe of him so that you don't sin.”
21 Alò, pèp la te kanpe a yon distans, pandan Moïse te pwoche gwo nwaj la kote Bondye.
The people stood a long way off as Moses went over to the thick, dark cloud 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.
The Lord told Moses, “This is what you are to say to the Israelites: ‘You saw for yourselves that I spoke with 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 must not make any idols of silver or gold to worship in addition to me.
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.
Make me an altar of earth, and sacrifice on it your burnt offerings and peace offerings, your sheep, goats, and cattle. Wherever I decide to be worshiped, I will come to you and 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.
Now if you make an altar out of stones for me, you must not build it with cut stones, because if you use a chisel to cut the stone, you make it unholy.
26 Epi nou pa pou monte nan eskalye vè lotèl Mwen, pou nidite nou pa parèt a li.’”
Also, you must not go up to my altar using steps, so your private parts are not seen.’”
