Deuteronomy 21
1 If one be founde slaine in the lande, which the Lord thy God giueth thee to possesse it, lying in the field, and it is not knowe who hath slaine him,
Si nan peyi Seyè a, Bondye nou an, te ban nou pou n' rete a, nou rive jwenn kadav yon moun yo sasinen nan yon jaden, san nou pa konnen ki moun ki fè sa,
2 Then thine Elders and thy Iudges shall come forth, and measure vnto the cities that are round about him that is slayne.
chèf fanmi yo ak jij yo va soti, y'a mezire distans ki genyen ant kote yo jwenn kadav la ak lavil ki toupre yo.
3 Aud let ye Elders of that citie, which is next vnto the slaine man, take out of the droue an heifer that hath not bene put to labour, nor hath drawen in the yoke.
Y'a wè lavil ki pi pre a. Le sa a, chèf fanmi ki reskonsab lavil ki pi pre kote yo te jwenn kadav la va pran yon jenn ti gazèl bèf ki poko janm sèvi pou fè ankenn travay.
4 And let the Elders of that citie bring the heifer vnto a stonie valley, which is neyther eared nor sowen, and strike off the heifers necke there in the valley.
Y'a mennen l' bò yon larivyè ki pa janm chèch, nan yon pozisyon kote tè a pa janm travay ni sekle. Epi se la y'a kase kou l'.
5 Also the Priests the sonnes of Leui (whom the Lord thy God hath chosen to minister, and to blesse in the name of the Lord) shall come forth, and by their word shall all strife and plague be tried.
Apre sa, prèt yo, pitit Levi yo, va vini, paske se yo menm Seyè a, Bondye nou an, te chwazi pou fè sèvis pou li ak pou beni pèp la nan non li. Se yo menm ki pou bay dènye mo a lè gen diskisyon, lè gen san deyò.
6 And all the Elders of that citie that came neere to the slayne man, shall wash their hands ouer the heifer that is beheaded in the valley:
Apre sa, chèf fanmi ki reskonsab lavil ki pi pre kote yo te jwenn kadav la va lave men yo ak dlo anwo gazèl yo te touye a.
7 And shall testifie, and say, Our handes haue not shed this blood, neither haue our eies seene it.
Y'a di: Se pa nou ki touye moun sa a, ni nou pa wè ki moun ki fè krim sa a.
8 O Lord, be mercifull vnto thy people Israel, whom thou hast redeemed, and lay no innocent blood to the charge of thy people Israel, and the blood shalbe forgiuen them.
Seyè! Ou menm ki te delivre moun Izrayèl yo anba moun peyi Lejip yo, padonnen pèp ou a. Pa rann nou reskonsab lanmò yon inonsan yo touye. Bondye va padonnen krim ki fèt la.
9 So shalt thou take away the cry of innocet blood from thee, when thou shalt do that which is right in the sight of the Lord.
Se konsa, n'a fè sa Seyè a te ban nou lòd fè a, yo p'ap rann nou reskonsab lanmò inonsan yo touye a.
10 Whe thou shalt go to warre against thine enemies, and the Lord thy God shall deliuer them into thine hands, and thou shalt take the captiues,
Lè n'ap fè lagè ak lènmi nou yo epi Seyè a, Bondye nou an, fè nou genyen yo, li fè nou fè anpil prizonye,
11 And shalt see among the captiues a beautifull woman, and hast a desire vnto her, and wouldest take her to thy wife,
si yonn nan nou wè pami prizonye yo yon bèl fanm, epi li tonbe damou pou li, l'a gen dwa pran l' pou madanm li.
12 Then thou shalt bring her home to thine house, and she shall shaue her head, and pare her nayles,
L'a mennen l' lakay li. Fanm lan va koupe tout cheve nan tèt li, l'a koupe tout zong dwèt ak tout zong pye l' yo,
13 And she shall put off the garment that shee was taken in, and she shall remaine in thine house, and bewaile her father and her mother a moneth long: and after that shalt thou go in vnto her, and marry her, and she shalbe thy wife.
l'a wete rad ki te sou li lè yo te fè l' prizonye a. L'a rete anndan kay nonm lan pandan yon mwa ap kriye pou papa l' ak manman l'. Apre sa, nonm lan va pwoche bò kote l', l'a marye avè l', l'a pran l' pou madanm li.
14 And if thou haue no fauour vnto her, then thou mayest let her go whither she will, but thou shalt not sell her for money, nor make marchandise of her, because thou hast humbled her.
Si apre sa, rive yon lè nonm lan pa renmen l' ankò, l'a kite l' al fè wout li. Li p'ap ka vann li pou lajan, ni li pa ka aji avè l' tankou yon esklav, paske se fòse li te fòse l' vin madanm li.
15 If a man haue two wiues, one loued and another hated, and they haue borne him children, both the loued and also the hated: if the first borne be the sonne of the hated,
Sipoze yon nonm ki gen de madanm, gen yonn li renmen plis pase lòt epi tou de madanm yo fè pitit gason pou li. Men, premye pitit gason l' lan twouve se pitit fanm li renmen mwens lan li ye.
16 Then when the time commeth, that hee appointeth his sonnes to be heires of that which he hath, he may not make the sonne of the beloued first borne before the sonne of the hated, which is the first borne:
Lè lè a va rive pou l' separe byen l' yo bay pitit li yo, li p'ap ka fè patipri pou l' pran pitit gason fanm li pi renmen an pou l' ba li pòsyon ki pou ale pou premye pitit gason an, pòsyon ki pou pitit gason fanm li renmen mwens lan.
17 But he shall acknowledge the sonne of the hated for the first borne, and giue him double portion of all that he hath: for hee is the first of his strength, and to him belongeth the right of the first borne.
Wè pa wè, se pou l' respekte dwa premye pitit gason l' lan, dwa pitit gason fanm li renmen mwens lan. L'a ba li de fwa lavalè sa li gen pou l' bay chak lòt pitit li yo, paske se li menm ki premye pitit gason li te fè lè li te jenn gason. Se li ki gen tout dwa yon premye pitit gason genyen.
18 If any man haue a sonne that is stubburne and disobedient, which wil not hearken vnto the voice of his father, nor the voyce of his mother, and they haue chastened him, and he would not obey them,
Si yonn nan nou gen yon pitit gason ki radi, ki gen tèt di, ki pa vle koute ni manman l' ni papa l' lè y'ap pale ak li, yo te mèt bat li, sa antre nan yon zòrèy soti nan lòt la,
19 Then shall his father and his mother take him, and bring him out vnto the Elders of his citie, and vnto the gate of the place where he dwelleth,
manman l' ak papa l' va kenbe l', y'a trennen l' devan chèf fanmi yo, nan tribinal ki bò pòtay lavil kote yo rete a.
20 And shall say vnto the Elders of his citie, This our sonne is stubburne and disobedient, and he wil not obey our admonition: he is a riotour, and a drunkard.
Epi y'a di yo: Men pitit gason nou an. Nou mennen l' ban nou paske li radi, l'ap fè wondonmon, li pa vle koute lè n'ap pale avè l'. L'ap gaspiye tout lajan nou nan bweson, li nan tout kalite vis.
21 Then all the men of his citie shall stone him with stones vnto death: so thou shalt take away euill from among you, that all Israel may heare it, and feare.
Lè sa a, tout gason ki rete nan lavil la va kalonnen l' wòch jouk yo touye l'. Se konsa n'a wete bagay mal sa a ki t'ap fèt nan mitan nou an. Tout moun nan pèp Izrayèl la va konn sa, y'a mache sou piga yo.
22 If a man also haue committed a trespasse worthy of death, and is put to death, and thou hangest him on a tree,
Si yo kondannen yon moun pou yon krim li fè, epi lè yo fin touye l', yo pann kadav la nan yon pyebwa,
23 His body shall not remaine all night vpon the tree, but thou shalt bury him the same day: for the curse of God is on him that is hanged. Defile not therfore thy land which the Lord thy God giueth thee to inherite.
pa janm kite kadav la pase nwit sou pyebwa a. Se pou nou antere l' menm jou a, paske yon kadav pann nan yon pyebwa se bagay ki pa fè Bondye plezi. Se konsa nou p'ap kite yo fè ankenn vye bagay ki pou fè Seyè a, Bondye nou an, vire do ban nou nan peyi Seyè a pral ban nou pou nou rete a.
