Deuteronomy 24

1 When a man taketh a wife, and marrieth her, if so be shee finde no fauour in his eyes, because hee hath espyed some filthinesse in her, then let him write her a bill of diuorcement, and put it in her hand, and send her out of his house.

“Lè yon nonm pran yon madanm pou marye avèk li, epi li rive ke li pa jwenn favè nan zye li, akoz ke li twouve kèk defo nan li, li ekri li yon sètifika divòs, mete sètifika a nan men li pou mete li deyò lakay li.

2 And when she is departed out of his house, and gone her way, and marrie with an other man,

Konsa, lè l kite kay li, li gen dwa pou ale devni madanm a yon lòt mesye.

3 And if the latter husband hate her, and write her a letter of diuorcement, and put it in her hand, and send her out of his house, or if the latter man die which tooke her to wife:

Si dezyèm mari a vire kont li e ekri li yon sètifika divòs, e mete sètifika a nan men li pou mete li deyò lakay li; oswa, si dezyèm mari li te genyen an, vin mouri,

4 Then her first husband, which sent her away, may not take her againe to be his wife, after that she is defiled: for that is abomination in the sight of the Lord, and thou shalt not cause the land to sinne, which the Lord thy God doeth giue thee to inherite.

premye mari ki te voye li ale a, pa gen dwa pran li ankò kòm madanm li, akoz sa konwonpi. Paske sa se yon bagay abominab devan SENYÈ a. “Epi nou pa pou mennen peche sou peyi ke SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, bannou kòm eritaj la.

5 When a man taketh a new wife, he shall not goe a warfare, neither shalbe charged with any businesse, but shalbe free at home one yeere, and reioyce with his wife which he hath taken.

“Lè yon nonm fenk pran yon madanm tounèf, li pa pou sòti avèk lame a, ni vin responsab okenn chaj. Li gen pou rete lib lakay li pandan 1 nan pou fè madanm ke li te pran an, gen kè kontan.

6 No man shall take the nether nor the vpper milstone to pledge: for this gage is his liuing.

“Pèsòn pa pou pran wòch moulen anwo a kòm sekirite; paske se tankou li te pran vi a moun nan kòm sekirite.

7 If any man be found stealing any of his brethren of the children of Israel, and maketh marchandise of him, or selleth him, that thiefe shall die: so shalt thou put euil away from among you.

“Si yo pran yon moun nan kidnape nenpòt nan sitwayen fis Israël yo, epi li te trete l kon esklav, oswa li te vann li; alò, vòlè sila a va mouri. Konsa, nou va retire mechanste pami nou.

8 Take heede of the plague of leprosie, that thou obserue diligently, and doe according to all that the Priestes of the Leuites shall teach you: take heede ye doe as I commanded them.

“Fè atansyon kont enfeksyon lalèp, pou nou swiv avèk dilijans e fè tout sa ke prèt Levit yo te enstwi nou. Jan mwen te kòmande yo a, se konsa nou va fè atansyon pou nou fè.

9 Remember what the Lord thy God did vnto Miriam by the way after that ye were come out of Egypt.

Sonje sa ke SENYÈ Bondye nou an, te fè Marie nan chemen an pandan nou t ap sòti an Égypte la.

10 Whe thou shalt aske again of thy neighbour any thing lent, thou shalt not goe into his house to fet his pledge.

“Lè nou fè nenpòt kalite prè a vwazen nou, nou pa pou antre lakay li pou pran garanti.

11 But thou shalt stand without, and the man that borowed it of thee, shall bring the pledge out of the doores vnto thee.

Nou va rete deyò, e nonm k ap resevwa prè a va pote garanti a deyò bannou.

12 Furthermore if it be a poore body, thou shalt not sleepe with his pledge,

Si se yon malere, ou pa pou dòmi avèk garanti li.

13 But shalt restore him the pledge when the sunne goeth downe, that he may sleepe in his raiment, and blesse thee: and it shalbe righteousnesse vnto thee before the Lord thy God.

Lè solèy la fin kouche, nou va, anverite, remèt garanti a li, pou li kapab dòmi nan manto li e beni nou. Sa va sèvi kòm ladwati pou nou devan SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an.

14 Thou shalt not oppresse an hyred seruant that is needie and poore, neyther of thy brethren, nor of the stranger that is in thy land within thy gates.

Nou pa pou oprime yon sèvitè k ap travay pou nou ki malere e ki nan nesesite, kit se yon sitwayen parèy nou, oswa youn nan etranje nou yo ki rete nan peyi nou nan vil nou yo.

15 Thou shalt giue him his hire for his day, neither shall the sunne goe downe vpon it: for he is poore, and therewith susteineth his life: lest he crye against thee vnto the Lord, and it be sinne vnto thee.

Nou va ba li salè li nan jou li avan solèy la kouche. Paske li se malere, e espwa kè li sou sa; jis pou li pa kriye kont nou vè SENYÈ a, pou sa devni yon peche nan nou.

16 The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, nor the children put to death for the fathers, but euery man shalbe put to death for his owne sinne.

“Papa yo p ap mete a lanmò pou zak kriminèl fis yo, ni fis a lanmò yo pou zak kriminèl papa yo. Tout moun ap vin mete a lanmò sèlman pou pwòp peche pa yo.

17 Thou shalt not peruert the right of the stranger, nor of the fatherlesse, nor take a widowes rayment to pledge.

“Nou pa pou tòde lajistis la ki se dwa a yon etranje, oswa yon òfelen, ni pran rad a yon vèv kòm garanti.

18 But remember that thou wast a seruant in Egypt, and howe the Lord thy God deliuered thee thence. Therefore I commaund thee to doe this thing.

Men nou va sonje ke nou te esklav an Égypte, e ke SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, te peye ranson nou soti la. Akoz sa, mwen ap kòmande nou pou fè bagay sa a.

19 When thou cuttest downe thine haruest in thy fielde, and hast forgotten a sheafe in the fielde, thou shalt not goe againe to fet it, but it shalbe for the stranger, for the fatherles, and for the widowe: that the Lord thy God may blesse thee in all the workes of thine hands.

“Lè nou fè rekòlt nou nan chan nou, men nou bliye yon pakèt nan chan an, nou pa pou retounen pran l. Li va pou etranje a, pou òfelen an ak pou vèv la, pou SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, kapab beni nou nan tout travay men nou yo.

20 When thou beatest thine oliue tree, thou shalt not goe ouer the boughes againe, but it shalbe for the stranger, for the fatherlesse, and for the widowe.

Lè nou keyi pye doliv la, nou pa pou pase sou branch yo yon dezyèm fwa. Li va pou etranje a, pou òfelen an ak pou vèv la.

21 When thou gatherest thy vineyard, thou shalt not gather the grapes cleane after thee, but they shalbe for the stranger, for the fatherlesse, and for the widowe.

Lè nou rekòlte rezen nan chan rezen an, nou p ap pase sou li yon lòt fwa. Li va pou etranje a, pou òfelen an ak pou vèv la.

22 And remember that thou wast a seruant in the land of Egypt: therefore I command thee to doe this thing.

“Nou va sonje ke nou te yon esklav nan peyi Égypte la. Pou sa, mwen ap kòmande nou pou fè bagay sa a.
