Deuteronomy 24

1 When a man takes a wife and marries her, then it shall be, if she finds no favor in his eyes because he has found some unseemly thing in her, that he shall write her a certificate of divorce, put it in her hand, and send her out of his house.

Si yon nonm marye ak yon fanm epi rive yon lè fanm lan pa fè l' plezi ankò, paske li dekouvri nan fanm lan yon bagay ki pa byen, l'a ekri yon papye divòs bay fanm lan, epi l'a voye l' tounen lakay papa l'.

2 When she has departed out of his house, she may go and be another man’s wife.

Apre sa, si fanm lan kite kay papa l', l' al marye ak yon lòt gason,

3 If the latter husband hates her, and writes her a certificate of divorce, puts it in her hand, and sends her out of his house; or if the latter husband dies, who took her to be his wife;

sipoze dezyèm mari a tou ta rive pa vle wè l', epi li ekri yon lèt divòs ba li, epi li voye l' tounen lakay papa l' ankò, osinon sipoze dezyèm mari a ta rive mouri,

4 her former husband, who sent her away, may not take her again to be his wife after she is defiled; for that would be an abomination to the LORD. You shall not cause the land to sin, which the LORD your God gives you for an inheritance.

lè sa a, premye mari a p'ap ka marye avè l' ankò. Se pou li konsidere fanm lan tankou yon moun ki pa nan kondisyon pou sèvi Bondye. Paske si li marye avè l' apre sa, l'ap fè yon bagay Seyè a pa vle wè. Piga nou rale madichon sou peyi Seyè a, Bondye nou an, ap ban nou pou rele nou pa nou an.

5 When a man takes a new wife, he shall not go out in the army, neither shall he be assigned any business. He shall be free at home one year, and shall cheer his wife whom he has taken.

Si yon nonm fèk marye, li pa fèt pou l' al nan lagè, ni yo pa bezwen mande l' fè ankenn travay nan sèvis piblik pandan ennan. Konsa, pandan tan sa a, l'a lib pou l' rete lakay li pou l' fè kè madanm li kontan.

6 No man shall take the mill or the upper millstone as a pledge, for he takes a life in pledge.

Lè n'ap prete yon moun lajan, nou pa gen dwa pran de wòl moulen li yo, pa menm yon sèl ladan yo, pou garanti. Si nou fè sa, se tankou si se te lavi moun lan menm nou te pran pou garanti.

7 If a man is found stealing any of his brothers of the children of Israel, and he deals with him as a slave, or sells him, then that thief shall die. So you shall remove the evil from among you.

Si yo bare yon moun pèp Izrayèl ap kenbe yon moun pèp Izrayèl parèy li pou fè l' tounen esklav li osinon pou l' vann li, se pou yo touye l'. Se konsa n'a wete bagay mal k'ap fèt nan mitan nou.

8 Be careful in the plague of leprosy, that you observe diligently and do according to all that the Levitical priests teach you. As I commanded them, so you shall observe to do.

Lè gen yon ka move maladi po, se pou nou sèten yo fè tou sa moun Levi yo mande fè. Se pou nou swiv tout regleman mwen te ba yo sou sa.

9 Remember what the LORD your God did to Miriam, by the way as you came out of Egypt.

Pa janm bliye sa Seyè a, Bondye nou an, te fè Miryam, lè nou t'ap soti kite peyi Lejip la.

10 When you lend your neighbor any kind of loan, you shall not go into his house to get his pledge.

Lè n'ap prete yon moun yon lajan sou garanti, nou pa gen dwa antre lakay li pou n' al pran sa l'ap ban nou pou garanti a.

11 You shall stand outside, and the man to whom you lend shall bring the pledge outside to you.

N'a rete deyò, n'a tann li pote garanti a ban nou deyò a.

12 If he is a poor man, you shall not sleep with his pledge.

Si se yon nonm ki pòv, pa kite rad li ban nou pou garanti a pase nwit lakay nou.

13 You shall surely restore to him the pledge when the sun goes down, that he may sleep in his garment and bless you. It shall be righteousness to you before the LORD your God.

Se pou nou tounen l' ba li lè solèy kouche, pou l' ka mete l' sou li lè l'ap dòmi. L'a genyen nou rekonesans, epi nou menm nou va fè yon bon zèv devan Seyè a, Bondye nou an.

14 You shall not oppress a hired servant who is poor and needy, whether he is one of your brothers or one of the foreigners who are in your land within your gates.

Piga nou peze yon pòv malere k'ap travay pou lajan l', li te mèt yon moun pèp Izrayèl parèy nou, li te mèt yon moun lòt nasyon k'ap viv nan peyi a nan yonn nan lavil nou yo.

15 In his day you shall give him his wages, neither shall the sun go down on it, for he is poor and sets his heart on it, lest he cry against you to the LORD, and it be sin to you.

Peye l' lajan l' chak jou, anvan solèy kouche, paske li pòv, li bezwen lajan an pou l' viv. Konsa, li p'ap bezwen rele Seyè a pou nou. Men, si sa rive, se nou menm k'ap antò.

16 The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, neither shall the children be put to death for the fathers. Every man shall be put to death for his own sin.

Nou pa gen dwa touye yon papa pou krim pitit li fè. Ni nou pa gen dwa touye yon pitit pou krim papa l' te fè. Y'a touye yon moun pou krim li menm li fè.

17 You shall not deprive the foreigner or the fatherless of justice, nor take a widow’s clothing in pledge;

Pa fè ankenn moun lòt nasyon k'ap viv nan mitan nou lenjistis. Respekte dwa timoun ki san papa. Pa pran rad yon vèv an garanti pou lajan nou prete l'.

18 but you shall remember that you were a slave in Egypt, and the LORD your God redeemed you there. Therefore I command you to do this thing.

Chonje nou menm tou nou te esklav nan peyi Lejip. Se Seyè a menm, Bondye nou an, ki te delivre nou. Se poutèt sa mwen mande nou pou nou swiv regleman sa a.

19 When you reap your harvest in your field, and have forgotten a sheaf in the field, you shall not go again to get it. It shall be for the foreigner, for the fatherless, and for the widow, that the LORD your God may bless you in all the work of your hands.

Lè n'ap ranmase rekòt ble nan jaden nou epi nou bliye ranmase kèk grap ki tonbe atè, pa tounen al pran yo. N'a kite yo pou moun lòt nasyon k'ap viv nan mitan nou, pou timoun san papa ak fanm ki pèdi mari yo. N'a fè sa pou Seyè a, Bondye nou an, ka beni nou nan tou sa n'ap fè.

20 When you beat your olive tree, you shall not go over the boughs again. It shall be for the foreigner, for the fatherless, and for the widow.

Lè n'ap keyi grenn oliv, nou pa bezwen pase yon dezyèm fwa pou keyi sa ki te rete yo. N'a kite yo pou moun lòt nasyon k'ap viv nan mitan nou yo, pou timoun san papa ak pou fanm ki pèdi mari yo.

21 When you harvest your vineyard, you shall not glean it after yourselves. It shall be for the foreigner, for the fatherless, and for the widow.

Lè nou fin koupe grap rezen nan jaden nou yo, pa tounen yon dezyèm fwa anba chak pye rezen pou repase branch yo. Sa ki va rete a, n'a kite yo pou moun lòt nasyon k'ap viv nan mitan nou yo, pou timoun ki san papa ak pou fanm ki pèdi mari yo.

22 You shall remember that you were a slave in the land of Egypt. Therefore I command you to do this thing.

Se pou nou toujou chonje yon lè nou te esklav nan peyi Lejip. Se poutèt sa mwen mande non pou nou swiv lòd mwen ban nou la a.
