Exodus 23
1 Thou shalt not receiue a false tale, neyther shalt thou put thine hande with the wicked, to be a false witnes.
Ou pa pou pote yon fo rapò. Pa jwenn men ou avèk yon moun mechan pou devni yon move temwen.
2 Thou shalt not follow a multitude to do euil, neither agree in a controuersie to decline after many and ouerthrowe the trueth.
Ou pa pou swiv foul la nan fè mechanste, ni ou pa pou fè temwen nan yon pwosè k ap vire pou swiv foul la pou ou kapab fè lajistis vin konwonpi.
3 Thou shalt not esteeme a poore man in his cause.
Ni ou p ap apiye vè yon malere pou bay li avantaj nan pwosè a.
4 If thou meete thine enemies oxe, or his asse going astray, thou shalt bring him to him againe.
Si ou rankontre bèf, oswa bourik a lènmi ou k ap pati, anverite, ou va remèt li bay mèt li.
5 If thou see thine enemies asse lying vnder his burden, wilt thou cease to helpe him? thou shalt helpe him vp againe with it.
Si ou wè bourik a yon moun ki rayi ou, k ap kouche anba gwo chaj, ou p ap abandone li nan pwoblèm nan, men ou va ede l dechaje li.
6 Thou shalt not ouerthrowe the right of thy poore in his sute.
Ou pa pou konwonpi lajistis ki se dwa a yon malere nan pwosè li.
7 Thou shalt keepe thee farre from a false matter, and shalt not slaye the innocent and the righteous: for I will not iustifie a wicked man.
Rete lwen yon fo pwosè, e pa touye inosan an oswa moun ki dwat la, paske Mwen p ap jistifye koupab la.
8 Thou shalt take no gift: for the gift blindeth the wise, and peruerteth the wordes of the righteous.
Ou pa pou pran lajan anba tab, paske kòb anba tab ap avegle sila ki wè klè yo, e konwonpi kòz sila ki jis yo.
9 Thou shalt not oppresse a stranger: for ye knowe the heart of a stranger, seeing yee were strangers in the land of Egypt.
Ou pa pou oprime yon etranje, paske nou konnen pozisyon a yon etranje, konsi, nou osi te etrange nan peyi Égypte la.
10 Moreouer, sixe yeres thou shalt sowe thy land, and gather the fruites thereof,
Ou va simen tè ou pou sis ane, e rekòlte donn li,
11 But the seuenth yeere thou shalt let it rest and lie still, that the poore of thy people may eat, and what they leaue, the beastes of the fielde shall eate. In like maner thou shalt doe with thy vineyard, and with thine oliue trees.
men nan setyèm ane a ou va kite li san fè anyen pou l kab pran repo. Konsa, malere pami pèp nou an kapab manje, epi nenpòt sa yo menm ta kite, ap rete pou bèt chan yo. Ou ap fè menm bagay la avèk chan rezen e avèk chan oliv ou yo.
12 Sixe dayes thou shalt do thy worke, and in the seuenth day thou shalt rest, that thine oxe, and thine asse may rest, and the sonne of thy maide and the stranger may be refreshed.
Pandan sis jou ou va fè travay ou, men nan setyèm jou a, ou va sispann fè travay pou bèf ou avèk bourik ou kapab repoze, ansanm avèk fis esklav femèl ou a, ak etranje ou a tou, kapab repoze.
13 And ye shall take heede to all things that I haue sayde vnto you: and ye shall make no mention of the name of other gods, neither shall it be heard out of thy mouth.
Alò, konsènan tout sa ke M te pale avèk nou yo, pran atansyon pou fè yo. Konsa, pa nonmen non a lòt dye yo, ni kite yo tande pawòl sa yo sòti nan bouch nou.
14 Three times thou shalt keepe a feast vnto me in the yeere.
Twa fwa pa ane nou va selebre yon fèt pou Mwen.
15 Thou shalt keepe the feast of vnleauened bread: thou shalt eate vnleauened bread seue dayes, as I commanded thee, in the season of the moneth of Abib: for in it thou camest out of Egypt: and none shall appeare before me emptie:
Nou va obsève fèt Pen San Ledven an. Pandan sèt jou nou va manje pen san ledven an, jan Mwen te kòmande nou an, nan tan ki apwente nan mwa Abib la, paske nan li nou te sòti an Égypte. Epi okenn moun pèsòn p ap parèt devan M men vid.
16 The feast also of the haruest of the first fruites of thy labours, which thou hast sowen in the fielde: and the feast of gathering fruites in the ende of the yere, when thou hast gathered in thy labours out of the fielde.
Osi nou va obsève fèt Mwason Premye Fwi a travay nou yo, nan sa ke nou te simen nan chan, anplis, fèt rekòlt nan fen ane a lè nou fin ranmase tout fwi travay nan jaden nou yo.
17 These three times in the yeere shall all thy men children appeare before the Lord Iehouah.
Twa fwa pa lane tout mal nou yo va parèt devan SENYÈ Bondye a.
18 Thou shalt not offer the blood of my sacrifice with leauened bread: neyther shall the fatte of my sacrifice remayne vntill the morning.
Nou pa pou ofri san a sakrifis Mwen ansanm avèk pen ledven. Ni grès fèt Mwen an pa pou pase lannwit pou rive nan maten.
19 The first of the first fruites of thy lande thou shalt bring into the house of the Lord thy God: yet shalt thou not seeth a kid in his mothers milke.
Nou va pote pi bon nan premye fwi latè yo antre nan kay SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an. Nou pa pou bouyi yon jèn kabrit nan lèt manman li.
20 Behold, I send an Angel before thee, to keepe thee in the way, and to bring thee to the place which I haue prepared.
“Gade byen, Mwen ap voye yon zanj devan nou pou pwoteje nou pandan nou nan chemen an, e pou mennen nou antre nan plas ke M te prepare pou nou an.
21 Beware of him, and heare his voyce, and prouoke him not: for he will not spare your misdeedes, because my name is in him.
Rete vijilan devan li, e obeyi vwa li. Pa fè rebelyon anvè li, paske li p ap padone peche nou yo, paske non Mwen nan li.
22 But if thou hearken vnto his voyce, and do all that I speake, the I wil be an enemie vnto thine enemies, and will afflict them that afflict thee.
“Men si nou vrèman obeyi vwa li, e fè tout sa ke M pale nou yo, alò, Mwen va vin lènmi ak lènmi pa nou yo, e advèsè pou advèsè nou yo.
23 For mine Angel shall go before thee, and bring thee vnto the Amorites, and the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Canaanites, the Hiuites, and the Iebusites, and I will destroy them.
Paske zanj Mwen va ale devan nou pou mennen nou nan peyi Amoreyen yo, Etyen yo, Ferezyen yo, Kananeyen yo, Evityen yo, ak Jebisyen yo. Epi Mwen va detwi yo nèt.
24 Thou shalt not bow downe to their gods, neither serue them, nor doe after the workes of them: but vtterly ouerthrowe them, and breake in pieces their images.
“Nou pa pou adore dye pa yo, ni sèvi yo, ni fè selon zèv pa yo, men nou va boulvèse yo nèt e nou va kraze pilye sakre pa yo an mòso.
25 For ye shall serue the Lord your God, and he shall blesse thy bread and thy water, and I will take all sickenes away from the middes of thee.
Men nou va sèvi SENYÈ a Bondye nou an, e Li va beni pen nou, ak dlo nou; epi Mwen va retire maladi pami nou.
26 There shall none cast their fruite nor be baren in thy lande: the number of thy dayes will I fulfill.
P ap gen foskouch oswa moun esteril nan peyi nou. Mwen va fin ranpli fòs kantite jou ke n ap viv yo.
27 I will send my feare before thee, and will destroy all the people among whome thou shalt go: and I will make all thine enemies turne their backes vnto thee:
“Mwen va voye laperèz Mwen devan nou. Mwen va jete nan konfizyon tout pèp pami sila nou parèt yo, e Mwen va fè tout lènmi nou yo ban nou do.
28 And I will sende hornets before thee, which shall driue out the Hiuites, the Canaanites, and the Hittites from thy face.
Mwen va voye gèp devan nou pou yo pouse mete deyò tout Evityen yo, Kananeyen yo, ak Etyen yo devan nou.
29 I will not cast them out from thy face in one yeere, least the land grow to a wildernes: and the beasts of the field multiplie against thee.
Mwen p ap pouse yo deyò nan yon sèl ane, pou peyi a pa vin dezole, e pou bèt chan yo pa vin twòp pou nou.
30 By litle and litle I will driue them out from thy face, vntill thou increase, and inherite the lande.
Mwen va pouse yo deyò devan nou mòso pa mòso jiskaske nou vin gran, e posede peyi a.
31 And I will make thy coastes from the red sea vnto the sea of the Philistims, and from the desert vnto the Riuer: for I will deliuer the inhabitants of the lande into your hande, and thou shalt driue them out from thy face.
“Mwen va etabli bòn nou yo soti nan Lamè Wouj, jis rive nan lanmè Filisten yo, soti savann nan pou rive nan larivyè Lefrat paske Mwen va livre abitan peyi yo nan men nou, e nou va pouse yo ale devan nou.
32 Thou shalt make no couenant with them, nor with their gods:
“Nou pa pou fè okenn akò avèk yo, ni avèk dye pa yo.
33 Neither shall they dwell in thy lande, least they make thee sinne against me: for if thou serue their gods, surely it shall be thy destruction.
Yo p ap viv nan peyi nou, paske yo va fè nou peche kont Mwen; paske si nou sèvi dye pa yo, sa va vrèman vin yon pèlen pou nou.”
