Egzòd 23
1 Ou pa pou pote yon fo rapò. Pa jwenn men ou avèk yon moun mechan pou devni yon move temwen.
Thou schalt not resseyue a vois of leesyng, nether thou schalt ioyne thin hond, that thou seie fals witnessyng for a wickid man.
2 Ou pa pou swiv foul la nan fè mechanste, ni ou pa pou fè temwen nan yon pwosè k ap vire pou swiv foul la pou ou kapab fè lajistis vin konwonpi.
Thou schalt not sue the cumpanye to do yuel, nether thou schalt ascente to the sentence of ful many men in doom, that thou go awey fro treuthe.
3 Ni ou p ap apiye vè yon malere pou bay li avantaj nan pwosè a.
Also thou schalt not haue mercy of a pore man in a `cause, ethir doom.
4 Si ou rankontre bèf, oswa bourik a lènmi ou k ap pati, anverite, ou va remèt li bay mèt li.
If thou meetist `the oxe of thin enemye, ethir the asse errynge, lede thou ayen to hym.
5 Si ou wè bourik a yon moun ki rayi ou, k ap kouche anba gwo chaj, ou p ap abandone li nan pwoblèm nan, men ou va ede l dechaje li.
If thou seest that the asse of hym that hatith thee liggyth vndir a burthun, thou schalt not passe, but thou schalt reise with hym.
6 Ou pa pou konwonpi lajistis ki se dwa a yon malere nan pwosè li.
Thou schalt not bowe in the doom of a pore man.
7 Rete lwen yon fo pwosè, e pa touye inosan an oswa moun ki dwat la, paske Mwen p ap jistifye koupab la.
Thou schalt fle a lesyng. Thou schalt not sle an innocent man, and iust; for Y am aduersarie to a wickid man.
8 Ou pa pou pran lajan anba tab, paske kòb anba tab ap avegle sila ki wè klè yo, e konwonpi kòz sila ki jis yo.
Take thou not yiftis, that blynden also prudent men, and destryen the wordys of iust men.
9 Ou pa pou oprime yon etranje, paske nou konnen pozisyon a yon etranje, konsi, nou osi te etrange nan peyi Égypte la.
Thou schalt not be diseseful to a pilgrym, for ye knowen the soulis of comelyngis, for also ye weren pilgryms in the lond of Egipt.
10 Ou va simen tè ou pou sis ane, e rekòlte donn li,
Sixe yeer thou schalt sowe thi lond, and thou schalt gadre fruytis therof;
11 men nan setyèm ane a ou va kite li san fè anyen pou l kab pran repo. Konsa, malere pami pèp nou an kapab manje, epi nenpòt sa yo menm ta kite, ap rete pou bèt chan yo. Ou ap fè menm bagay la avèk chan rezen e avèk chan oliv ou yo.
forsothe in the seuenthe yeer thou schalt leeue it, and schalt make to reste, that the pore men of thi puple ete, and what euer is residue, the beestis of the feeld ete; so thou schalt do in thi vyner, and in place of olyue trees.
12 Pandan sis jou ou va fè travay ou, men nan setyèm jou a, ou va sispann fè travay pou bèf ou avèk bourik ou kapab repoze, ansanm avèk fis esklav femèl ou a, ak etranje ou a tou, kapab repoze.
Sixe dayes thou schalt worche, in the seuenthe dai thou schalt ceesse, that thin oxe and asse reste, and the sone of thin handmaide, and the comelyng be refreischid.
13 Alò, konsènan tout sa ke M te pale avèk nou yo, pran atansyon pou fè yo. Konsa, pa nonmen non a lòt dye yo, ni kite yo tande pawòl sa yo sòti nan bouch nou.
Kepe ye alle thingis, whiche Y seide to you; and ye schulen not swere bi the name of alien goddis, nether it schal be herd of youre mouth.
14 Twa fwa pa ane nou va selebre yon fèt pou Mwen.
In thre tymes bi alle yeeris ye schulen halewe feestis to me.
15 Nou va obsève fèt Pen San Ledven an. Pandan sèt jou nou va manje pen san ledven an, jan Mwen te kòmande nou an, nan tan ki apwente nan mwa Abib la, paske nan li nou te sòti an Égypte. Epi okenn moun pèsòn p ap parèt devan M men vid.
Thou schalt kepe the solempnyte of therf looues; seuene daies thou schalt ete therf breed, as Y comaundide to thee, in the tyme of monethe of newe thingis, whanne thou yedist out of Egipt; thou schalt not appere voide in my siyt.
16 Osi nou va obsève fèt Mwason Premye Fwi a travay nou yo, nan sa ke nou te simen nan chan, anplis, fèt rekòlt nan fen ane a lè nou fin ranmase tout fwi travay nan jaden nou yo.
And thou schalt kepe the solempnete of the monethe of the firste thingis of thi werk, what euer thingis thou hast sowe in the feeld. Also thou schalt kepe the solempnyte in the goyng out of the yeer, whanne thou hast gaderid all thi fruytis of the feeld.
17 Twa fwa pa lane tout mal nou yo va parèt devan SENYÈ Bondye a.
Thries in the yeer al thi male kynde schal appere bifore thi Lord God.
18 Nou pa pou ofri san a sakrifis Mwen ansanm avèk pen ledven. Ni grès fèt Mwen an pa pou pase lannwit pou rive nan maten.
Thou schalt not offre the blood of thi slayn sacrifice on sour douy; nether the fatnesse of my solempnete schal dwelle til to the morewtid.
19 Nou va pote pi bon nan premye fwi latè yo antre nan kay SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an. Nou pa pou bouyi yon jèn kabrit nan lèt manman li.
Thou schalt bere the firste thingis of the fruytis of thi lond in to the hows of thi Lord God. Thou schalt not sethe a kide in the mylke of his modir.
20 “Gade byen, Mwen ap voye yon zanj devan nou pou pwoteje nou pandan nou nan chemen an, e pou mennen nou antre nan plas ke M te prepare pou nou an.
Lo! Y schal sende myn aungel, that schal go bifore thee, and schal kepe in the weie, and schal lede to the place which Y haue maad redi to thee.
21 Rete vijilan devan li, e obeyi vwa li. Pa fè rebelyon anvè li, paske li p ap padone peche nou yo, paske non Mwen nan li.
Take thou hede to hym, and here thou his vois, nether gesse thou hym to be dispisid; for he schal not foryyue, whanne thou synnest, and my name is in him.
22 “Men si nou vrèman obeyi vwa li, e fè tout sa ke M pale nou yo, alò, Mwen va vin lènmi ak lènmi pa nou yo, e advèsè pou advèsè nou yo.
For if thou herest his vois, and doist alle thingis whiche Y speke, Y schal be enemy to thin enemyes, and Y schal turment hem, that turmenten thee;
23 Paske zanj Mwen va ale devan nou pou mennen nou nan peyi Amoreyen yo, Etyen yo, Ferezyen yo, Kananeyen yo, Evityen yo, ak Jebisyen yo. Epi Mwen va detwi yo nèt.
and myn aungel schal go bifore thee, and he schal lede yn thee to Amorrei, and Ethei, and Ferezei, and Cananey, and Euey, and Jebusei, whiche Y schal breke.
24 “Nou pa pou adore dye pa yo, ni sèvi yo, ni fè selon zèv pa yo, men nou va boulvèse yo nèt e nou va kraze pilye sakre pa yo an mòso.
Thou schalt not onoure `the goddis of hem, nether thou schalt worschipe hem; thou schalt not do the werkis of hem, but thou schalt destrie the goddis, and thou schalt breke the ymagis of hem.
25 Men nou va sèvi SENYÈ a Bondye nou an, e Li va beni pen nou, ak dlo nou; epi Mwen va retire maladi pami nou.
And ye schulen serue to youre Lord God, that Y blesse thi looues, and watris, and do awei sikenesse fro the myddis of thee;
26 P ap gen foskouch oswa moun esteril nan peyi nou. Mwen va fin ranpli fòs kantite jou ke n ap viv yo.
neithir a womman vnfruytful, neither bareyn, schal be in thi lond; Y schal fille the noumbre of thi daies.
27 “Mwen va voye laperèz Mwen devan nou. Mwen va jete nan konfizyon tout pèp pami sila nou parèt yo, e Mwen va fè tout lènmi nou yo ban nou do.
Y schal sende my drede in to thi biforgoyng, and Y schal sle al the puple, to which thou schalt entre, and Y schal turne the backis of alle thin enemyes bifore thee;
28 Mwen va voye gèp devan nou pou yo pouse mete deyò tout Evityen yo, Kananeyen yo, ak Etyen yo devan nou.
and Y schal sende out bifore scrabrouns, that schulen dryue awei Euey, and Cananey, and Ethei, bifore that thou entre.
29 Mwen p ap pouse yo deyò nan yon sèl ane, pou peyi a pa vin dezole, e pou bèt chan yo pa vin twòp pou nou.
Y schal not caste hem out fro thi face in o yeer, lest the lond be turned in to wildirnesse, and beestis encreesse ayens thee;
30 Mwen va pouse yo deyò devan nou mòso pa mòso jiskaske nou vin gran, e posede peyi a.
litil and litil I schal caste hem out fro thi siyt, til thou be encreessid, and welde the loond.
31 “Mwen va etabli bòn nou yo soti nan Lamè Wouj, jis rive nan lanmè Filisten yo, soti savann nan pou rive nan larivyè Lefrat paske Mwen va livre abitan peyi yo nan men nou, e nou va pouse yo ale devan nou.
Forsothe Y schal sette thi termys fro the reed see til to the see of Palestyns, and fro desert til to the flood. Y schal yyue to youre hondis the dwelleris of the lond, and Y schal caste hem out fro youre siyt;
32 “Nou pa pou fè okenn akò avèk yo, ni avèk dye pa yo.
thou schalt not make boond of pees with hem, nethir with `the goddis of hem.
33 Yo p ap viv nan peyi nou, paske yo va fè nou peche kont Mwen; paske si nou sèvi dye pa yo, sa va vrèman vin yon pèlen pou nou.”
Dwelle thei not in thi lond, lest perauenture thei make thee to do synne ayens me, yf thou seruest her goddis, which thing certis schal be to thee in to sclaundir.
