Deuteronomy 5
1 And Moses sent for all Israel, and said to them, Give ear, O Israel, to the laws and the decisions which I give you today, and give attention to them so that you may keep and do them.
Moyiz fè tout pèp Izrayèl la sanble, epi li di yo: -Nou menm pèp Izrayèl, koute lòd ak kòmandman m'ap fè nou tande jòdi a. Aprann yo byen. Pa janm bliye yo pou nou ka toujou fè tou sa yo mande nou fè.
2 The Lord our God made an agreement with us in Horeb.
Seyè a, Bondye nou an, te siyen yon kontra ak nou sou Mòn Orèb la.
3 The Lord did not make this agreement with our fathers but with us, who are all living and present here today.
Se pa t' avèk zansèt nou yo sèlman Seyè a te pase kontra a, men avèk nou menm tou, nou tout k'ap viv isit la jòdi a.
4 The word of the Lord came to you face to face on the mountain, out of the heart of the fire,
Bondye te rete sou mòn lan, nan mitan dife a. Li te pale ak nou fas pou fas.
5 (I was between the Lord and you at that time, to make clear to you the word of the Lord: because, through fear of the fire, you did not go up the mountain; ) saying,
Lè sa a, mwen menm mwen te kanpe nan mitan, Seyè a yon bò, nou menm yon bò, pou m' te rapòte nou tout pawòl Seyè a te di, paske nou te pè dife a, nou pa t' vle moute sou mòn lan. Men sa Seyè a te di:
6 I am the Lord your God, who took you out of the land of Egypt, out of the prison-house.
Se mwen menm, Seyè a, Bondye nou an, ki te fè nou soti kite peyi Lejip kote nou te esklav la.
7 You are to have no other gods but me.
Piga nou sèvi lòt bondye pase mwen menm sèlman.
8 You may not make for yourselves an image in the form of anything in heaven or on earth or in the waters under the earth:
Piga nou janm fè ankenn estati ni ankenn pòtre ki sanble bagay ki anwo nan syèl la osinon bagay ki sou latè ou ankò nan dlo anba tè a.
9 You may not go down on your faces before them or give them worship: for I, the Lord your God, am a God who will not give his honour to another; and I will send punishment on the children for the wrongdoing of their fathers, to the third and fourth generation of my haters;
Piga nou adore yo, ni piga nou sèvi yo. Paske, mwen menm Seyè a, Bondye nou an, mwen se yon Bondye ki fè jalouzi anpil. Lè yon moun rayi m', mwen fè pitit li, pitit pitit li ak pitit pitit pitit li yo peye sa.
10 And I will have mercy through a thousand generations on those who have love for me and keep my laws.
Men, lè yon moun renmen m', lè li fè sa m' mande l' fè, m'ap moutre l' jan moun renmen l' tou ansanm ak tout pitit pitit li yo pandan mil jenerasyon.
11 You are not to make use of the name of the Lord your God for an evil purpose; whoever takes the Lord's name on his lips for an evil purpose will be judged as a sinner by the Lord.
Piga nou janm nonmen non Seyè a, Bondye nou an, an jwèt osinon pou bay manti, paske mwen menm, Seyè a, Bondye nou an, mwen p'ap manke pini moun ki nonmen non m' pou gremesi.
12 Keep the Sabbath day as a holy day, as you have been ordered by the Lord your God.
Toujou chonje jou repo a pou nou mete l' apa pou Bondye, jan mwen menm Seyè a, Bondye nou an, te ban nou lòd fè l' la.
13 On six days do all your work:
N'a travay sis jou. Lè sa a, n'a fè tou sa nou gen pou nou fè.
14 But the seventh day is a Sabbath to the Lord your God; on that day do no work, you or your son or your daughter, or your man-servant or your woman-servant, or your ox or your ass or any of your cattle, or the man from a strange country who is living among you; so that your man-servant and your woman-servant may have rest as well as you.
Men, setyèm jou a, se jou repo Seyè a, Bondye nou an. Jou sa a, nou p'ap fè ankenn travay, ni nou menm, ni pitit gason nou, ni pitit fi nou, ni fanm ni gason k'ap travay lakay nou, ni bèf nou, ni bourik nou, ni ankenn nan lòt bèt nou genyen, ni moun lòt nasyon ki rete lakay nou. Konsa, ni fanm ni gason k'ap travay lakay nou ka pran repo menm jan ak nou.
15 And keep in mind that you were a servant in the land of Egypt, and that the Lord your God took you out of that land by his strong hand and his stretched-out arm: for this reason the Lord has given you orders to keep the Sabbath day.
N'a toujou chonje se esklav nou te ye nan peyi Lejip la. E se mwen menm, Seyè a, Bondye nou an, ki te vin delivre nou ak fòs ponyèt mwen, ak gwo kouraj mwen. Se poutèt sa, Seyè a, Bondye nou an, te pase nou lòd pou nou pa bliye jou repo a.
16 Give honour to your father and your mother, as you have been ordered by the Lord your God; so that your life may be long and all may be well for you in the land which the Lord your God is giving you.
Respekte manman nou ak papa nou jan Seyè a, Bondye nou an, te pase nou lòd la, pou nou ka viv lontan ak kè kontan nan peyi Seyè a, Bondye nou an, te ban nou.
17 Do not put anyone to death without cause.
Piga nou janm touye moun.
18 Do not be false to the married relation.
Piga nou janm fè adiltè.
19 Do not take the property of another.
Piga nou janm pran sa ki pa pou nou.
20 Do not give false witness against your neighbour;
Piga nou janm fè manti sou frè parèy nou nan tribinal.
21 Or let your desire be turned to your neighbour's wife, or his house or his field or his man-servant or his woman-servant or his ox or his ass or anything which is your neighbour's.
Piga nou janm pote lanvi sou madanm frè parèy nou. Pa mete lide nou ni sou kay li, ni sou jaden li, ni sou gason osinon fanm k'ap travay lakay li, ni sou bèf li, ni sou bourik li, ni sou anyen ki pou frè parèy nou.
22 These words the Lord said to all of you together on the mountain, out of the heart of the fire, out of the cloud and the dark, with a great voice: and he said no more; he put them in writing on the two stones of the law and gave them to me.
Men pawòl Seyè a te di nou lè nou tout nou te sanble sou mòn lan. Li te rete nan mitan dife a, anndan gwo nwaj nwa a, li pale byen fò ak nou. Li pa di anyen ankò apre sa. Li ekri kòmandman sa yo sou de wòch plat, epi li ban mwen yo.
23 And after hearing the voice which came out of the dark while the mountain was burning with fire, all the heads of your tribes and your chiefs came to me,
Men, lè pèp la tande bri vwa ki t'ap soti nan nwaj nwa a, lè yo wè mòn lan ki t'ap pran dife, yo vin jwenn mwen ansanm ak tout chèf branch fanmi yo ak tout chèf fanmi yo.
24 And said, The Lord has let us see his glory and his power, and his voice has come to us out of the fire: today we have seen that a man may go on living even after hearing the voice of God.
Yo di m' konsa: -Koulye a, nou wè Seyè a, Bondye nou an. Nou wè jan li gen pouvwa, jan li merite yo fè lwanj li. Nou tande vwa l' ap pale nan mitan dife a. Jòdi a nou wè tout bon vre Bondye ka pale ak moun san yo pa mouri pou sa.
25 Why then is death to be our fate? For if the voice of the Lord our God comes to us any more, death will overtake us, and we will be burned up in this great fire.
Bon. Koulye a, poukisa pou n' al riske tèt nou ankò avèk gwo dife sa a ki ka kankannen nou? Eske nou p'ap mouri si nou tande vwa Seyè a, Bondye nou an, ap pale yon lòt fwa ankò?
26 For what man is there in all the earth, who, hearing the voice of the living God as we have, out of the heart of the fire, has been kept from death?
Eske gen moun sou latè ki ka rete vivan toujou lè yo fin tande Bondye tout bon an rete nan mitan dife pou pale ak yo, jan sa te rive nou an?
27 Do you go near: and after hearing everything which the Lord our God has to say, give us an account of all he has said to you, and we will give ear, and do it.
Ou mèt pwoche ou menm, pou ou tande tou sa Seyè a, Bondye nou an, va di. Apre sa, w'a tounen vin di nou sa li te di ou. N'a koute ou, epi n'a fè tou sa l' di nou fè.
28 Then the Lord, hearing your words to me, said to me, The words which this people have said to you have come to my ears: what they have said is well said.
Seyè a te tande sa nou te di a, li di m' konsa: Mwen tande sa pèp la di la a. Yo gen rezon.
29 If only they had such a heart in them at all times, so that they might go in fear of me and keep my orders and that it might be well for them and for their children for ever!
Mwen ta swete yo toujou gen bon santiman nan kè yo pou yo ka gen krentif pou mwen, pou yo kenbe lòd mwen yo, konsa yo ta viv ak kè kontan tout tan, ni yo menm ni pitit yo.
30 Now say to them, Go back to your tents.
Ale di yo yo mèt tounen anba tant yo.
31 But as for you, keep your place here by me, and I will give you all the orders and the laws and the decisions which you are to make clear to them, so that they may do them in the land which I am giving them for their heritage.
Men ou menm, ou va rete isit la avè m'. M'a ba ou tout kòmandman, tout lòd ak tout prensip pou ou moutre yo pou yo ka swiv yo nan peyi m'ap ba yo a.
32 Take care, then, to do whatever the Lord your God has given you orders to do; let there be no turning away to the right hand or to the left.
Veye kò nou pou nou viv jan Seyè a, Bondye nou an, te mande nou viv la. Pa vire ni adwat ni agoch.
33 Go on walking in the way ordered for you by the Lord your God, so that life may be yours and it may be well for you, and your days may be long in the land of your heritage.
N'a mache dwat nan chemen Bondye nou an, Seyè a, mete devan nou an. Se konsa n'a gen lavi, n'a gen kè kontan. N'a viv lontan nan peyi nou pral pran pou nou rete a.
