Exodus 22
1 If a man takes without right another man's ox or his sheep, and puts it to death or gets a price for it, he is to give five oxen for an ox, or four sheep for a sheep, in payment: the thief will have to make payment for what he has taken; if he has no money, he himself will have to be exchanged for money, so that payment may be made.
Si yon moun vòlò yon bèf osinon yon mouton, si li touye l' epi li vann li, li gen pou l' bay senk bèf pou bèf li pran an osinon kat mouton pou mouton li pran an.
2 If a thief is taken in the act of forcing his way into a house, and his death is caused by a blow, the owner of the house is not responsible for his blood.
Si yo bare yon vòlè ap kase yon kay epi yo touye l', moun ki touye l' la pa koupab.
3 But if it is after dawn, he will be responsible.
Men, si sa rive apre solèy fin leve, moun ki touye l' la koupab. Li gen pou l' peye pou li, wè pa wè. Si li pa gen anyen, y'a vann li pou yo ka peye pou sa l' te vòlò a.
4 If he still has what he had taken, whatever it is, ox or ass or sheep, he is to give twice its value.
Men, si yo jwenn bèt li te vòlò a vivan nan men l' toujou, kit se bèf, kit se kabrit, kit se bourik, l'a renmèt de pou yonn.
5 If a man makes a fire in a field or a vine-garden, and lets the fire do damage to another man's field, he is to give of the best produce of his field or his vine-garden to make up for it.
Si yon moun kite bèt li manje nan jaden yon lòt, osinon nan jaden rezen li, si yon moun kite bèt li lage pou yo fè kont dega nan jaden yon lòt moun, li gen pou l' dedonmaje lòt moun lan. L'a ba li pi bon bagay li gen nan jaden pa l' la osinon nan jaden rezen l' yo.
6 If there is a fire and the flames get to the thorns at the edge of the field, causing destruction of the cut grain or of the living grain, or of the field, he who made the fire will have to make up for the damage.
Si yon dife pran yon kote, li tonbe nan zèb chèch epi li rive boule danre ki nan depo, osinon grenn ki fin keyi, ou ankò yon jaden tou plante, moun ki lakòz dife a va peye yon dedomajman.
7 If a man puts money or goods in the care of his neighbour to keep for him, and it is taken from the man's house, if they get the thief, he will have to make payment of twice the value.
Si yon moun pran lajan l' osinon yon bagay ki gen anpil valè, li bay yon lòt moun sere l' pou li, si yo rive vòlò bagay sa yo nan kay moun ki te sere yo a, si yo jwenn vòlè a, vòlè a va gen pou renmèt de fwa lavalè.
8 If they do not get the thief, let the master of the house come before the judges and take an oath that he has not put his hand on his neighbour's goods.
Men, si yo pa jwenn vòlè a, y'a mennen mèt kay kote bagay yo te sere a devan lòtèl Bondye a, pou yo wè si se pa li menm ki te pran bagay lòt moun lan.
9 In any question about an ox or an ass or a sheep or clothing, or about the loss of any property which anyone says is his, let the two sides put their cause before God; and he who is judged to be in the wrong is to make payment to his neighbour of twice the value.
Si yon moun pèdi yon bagay, kit se yon bèf, osinon yon bourik, ou ankò yon mouton, kit se yon rad ou nenpòt lòt bagay, si lè yo jwenn sak te pèdi a yon lòt moun pretann di se pou li li ye, y'a mennen yo tou de devan lòtèl Bondye a pou regle sa. Moun Bondye va kondannen an va gen pou l' bay lòt la de fwa lavalè pou dedomajman.
10 If a man puts an ass or an ox or a sheep or any beast into the keeping of his neighbour, and it comes to death or is damaged or is taken away, without any person seeing it:
Si yon moun bay yon frè parèy li gade yon bourik, yon bèf, yon mouton, ou ankò nenpòt ki lòt bèt pou li, si bèt la mouri osinon si malè rive l' ou ankò si piyajè pran l' san pesonn pa wè sa,
11 If he takes his oath before the Lord that he has not put his hand to his neighbour's goods, the owner is to take his word for it and he will not have to make payment for it.
lè sa a, y'a mande ni mèt bèt la ni gadò a pou yo fè sèman devan lòtèl Bondye a. Moun ki t'ap gade bèt la va deklare se pa li menm ki te pran bèt lòt moun lan. Lè sa a, mèt bèt la va asepte pèt la. Gadò a p'ap gen ankenn dedomajman pou l' bay.
12 But if it is taken from him by a thief, he is to make up for the loss of it to its owner.
Men si se vòlò yo te vòlò bèt la nan men l', l'a gen pou l' peye mèt la kichòy.
13 But if it has been damaged by a beast, and he is able to make this clear, he will not have to make payment for what was damaged.
Si se bèt nan bwa ki devore bèt la, l'a pote rès la pou mèt bèt la ka wè ak de je l' se pa manti l'ap ba li. Li p'ap gen anyen pou l' peye pou sa.
14 If a man gets from his neighbour the use of one of his beasts, and it is damaged or put to death when the owner is not with it, he will certainly have to make payment for the loss.
Si yon moun prete yon bèt nan men yon frè parèy li, epi malè rive bèt la, osinon li mouri an absans mèt li, se pou l' peye mèt bèt la kichòy.
15 If the owner is with it, he will not have to make payment: if he gave money for the use of it, the loss is covered by the payment.
Men, si mèt la te la lè malè a rive, moun lan pa gen anyen pou l' peye. Si se yon bèt li te lwe, se pri li te lwe l' la ase pou li bay.
16 If a man takes a virgin, who has not given her word to another man, and has connection with her, he will have to give a bride-price for her to be his wife.
Si yon nonm pran tèt yon jenn fi ki poko fiyanse, epi li kouche avè l', li gen pou l' peye lajan yo konn bay pou yon maryaj, epi se pou l' marye ak jenn fi a.
17 If her father will not give her to him on any account, he will have to give the regular payment for virgins.
Men, si papa jenn fi a refize kite l' marye avè l', tout jan se pou msye peye lajan yo bay lè yo pral marye ak yon fi ki tifi.
18 Any woman using unnatural powers or secret arts is to be put to death.
Se pou nou touye tout fanm k'ap fè maji.
19 Any man who has sex connection with a beast is to be put to death.
Se pou yo touye tout moun ki kwaze ak zannimo.
20 Complete destruction will come on any man who makes offerings to any other god but the Lord.
Si yon moun ofri bèt pou yo touye pou lòt bondye pase Seyè a, se pou yo disparèt li tankou bèt y'ap ofri bay Bondye.
21 Do no wrong to a man from a strange country, and do not be hard on him; for you yourselves were living in a strange country, in the land of Egypt.
Piga nou maltrete moun lòt nasyon ki vin rete nan peyi nou. Piga nou peze yo non plis, paske nou menm, chonje nou te etranje tou nan peyi Lejip.
22 Do no wrong to a widow, or to a child whose father is dead.
Piga nou maltrete ni vèv yo, ni timoun san papa yo.
23 If you are cruel to them in any way, and their cry comes up to me, I will certainly give ear;
Si nou malmennen yo, m'ap reponn yo lè y'a rele mande m' sekou.
24 And in the heat of my wrath I will put you to death with the sword, so that your wives will be widows and your children without fathers.
m'a fache, m'a fè nou mouri nan lagè. Konsa, madanm nou yo ap vin vèv tou, pitit nou yo ap rete san papa tou.
25 If you let any of the poor among my people have the use of your money, do not be a hard creditor to him, and do not take interest.
Si nou prete yonn nan frè parèy nou yo lajan, yonn nan pòv ki nan mitan nou yo, piga nou fè tankou moun k'ap bay ponya pou nou egzije l' peye enterè.
26 If ever you take your neighbour's clothing in exchange for the use of your money, let him have it back before the sun goes down:
Si yon nonm plane levit li lakay ou pou ou prete l' yon ti kòb, se pou ou renmèt li rad li anvan solèy kouche.
27 For it is the only thing he has for covering his skin; what is he to go to sleep in? and when his cry comes up to me, I will give ear, for my mercy is great.
Paske, se sèl rad li gen pou l' mete sou li pou fredi pa bat li. Kisa pou l' mete sou li pou l' kouvri aswè? Si li rele mande m' sekou, m'a reponn li paske mwen gen bon kè.
28 You may not say evil of the judges, or put a curse on the ruler of your people.
Piga nou pale Bondye mal. Piga nou bay chèf pèp la madichon.
29 Do not keep back your offerings from the wealth of your grain and your vines. The first of your sons you are to give to me.
Pa pran reta pou n' ofri m' sa pou n' ofri m' nan rekòt danre nou yo ak nan diven nou. n'a ban mwen premye pitit gason nou yo.
30 In the same way with your oxen and your sheep: for seven days let the young one be with its mother; on the eighth day give it to me.
N'a ban mwen tou premye pitit bèf nou yo ak premye pitit mouton nou yo. Ti bèt la va pase sèt jou avèk manman l'. Sou wityèm jou a n'a ofri l' ban mwen.
31 You are to be holy men to me: the flesh of no animal whose death has been caused by the beasts of the field may be used for your food; it is to be given to the dogs.
Se pou nou mache tankou moun k'ap viv apa pou mwen. Pa manje vyann bèt nou jwenn lòt bèt nan bwa devore. Vyann konsa se chen pou nou jete l' bay.
