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.
“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 When she has departed out of his house, she may go and be another man’s wife.
Konsa, lè l kite kay li, li gen dwa pou ale devni madanm a yon lòt mesye.
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;
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 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 Yahweh. You shall not cause the land to sin, which Yahweh your God gives you for an inheritance.
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 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.
“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 mill or the upper millstone as a pledge, for he takes a life in pledge.
“Pèsòn pa pou pran wòch moulen anwo a kòm sekirite; paske se tankou li te pran vi a moun nan kòm sekirite.
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 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 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.
“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 Yahweh your God did to Miriam, by the way as you came 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 When you lend your neighbor any kind of loan, you shall not go into his house to get his pledge.
“Lè nou fè nenpòt kalite prè a vwazen nou, nou pa pou antre lakay li pou pran garanti.
11 You shall stand outside, and the man to whom you lend shall bring the pledge outside to you.
Nou va rete deyò, e nonm k ap resevwa prè a va pote garanti a deyò bannou.
12 If he is a poor man, you shall not sleep with his pledge.
Si se yon malere, ou pa pou dòmi avèk garanti li.
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 Yahweh your 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 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.
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 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 Yahweh, and it be sin to you.
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, neither shall the children be put to death for the fathers. Every man shall be put to death for his own sin.
“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 You shall not deprive the foreigner or the fatherless of justice, nor take a widow’s clothing in 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 you shall remember that you were a slave in Egypt, and Yahweh your God redeemed you there. Therefore I command you to do 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 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 Yahweh your God may bless you in all the work of your 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 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 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 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 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 You shall remember that you were a slave in the land of Egypt. Therefore I command you to do 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.
