Egzòd 20
1 Bondye te pale tout pawòl sa yo e te di:
God 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 your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
3 “Ou pa pou gen lòt dye devan M.
“You shall have no other 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 yourselves an idol, nor any image of anything that is in the heavens above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water 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 bow yourself down to them, nor serve them, for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children, on the third and on the 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 loving kindness to thousands of those 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 shall not misuse the name of the LORD your God, for the LORD will not hold him guiltless who misuses his name.
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 shall labour six days, and do all your 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 the seventh day is a Sabbath to the LORD your God. You shall not do any work in it, you, nor your son, nor your daughter, your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your livestock, nor your stranger 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, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day; therefore 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.
“Honour your father and your mother, that your days may be long in the land which the LORD your God gives 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 give false testimony against your 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.
“You shall not covet your neighbour’s house. You shall not covet your neighbour’s wife, nor his male servant, nor his female servant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything that is your neighbour’s.”
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.
All the people perceived the thunderings, the lightnings, the sound of the shofar, and the mountain smoking. When the people saw it, they trembled, and stayed 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.”
They said to Moses, “Speak with us yourself, and we will listen; but don’t let God speak with 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.”
Moses said to the people, “Don’t be afraid, for God has come to test you, and that his fear may be before you, that you won’t sin.”
21 Alò, pèp la te kanpe a yon distans, pandan Moïse te pwoche gwo nwaj la kote Bondye.
The people stayed at a distance, and Moses came near to the thick 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.
The LORD said to Moses, “This is what you shall tell the children of Israel: ‘You yourselves have seen that I have talked 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 shall most certainly not make gods of silver or gods of gold for yourselves to be alongside 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.
You shall make an altar of earth for me, and shall sacrifice on it your burnt offerings and your peace offerings, your sheep and your cattle. In every place where I record my name 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.
If you make me an altar of stone, you shall not build it of cut stones; for if you lift up your tool on it, you have polluted it.
26 Epi nou pa pou monte nan eskalye vè lotèl Mwen, pou nidite nou pa parèt a li.’”
You shall not go up by steps to my altar, that your nakedness may not be exposed to it.’
