Deuteronomy 15
1 At the end of every seven years, you shall cancel debts.
Chak sètan n'a annile dèt tout moun ki dwe nou, n'a kite lajan an pou yo.
2 This is the way it shall be done: every creditor shall release that which he has lent to his neighbour. He shall not require payment from his neighbour and his brother, because the LORD’s release has been proclaimed.
Men ki jan n'a fè l': Tout moun ki te prete yon moun pèp Izrayèl parèy li lajan va kite lajan an pou li. Depi lè a rive pou yo annile tout dèt pou Seyè a, li p'ap ka egzije pou lòt la renmèt li lajan an ankò.
3 Of a foreigner you may require it; but whatever of yours is with your brother, your hand shall release.
N'a gen dwa egzije pou moun lòt nasyon yo peye nou sa yo dwe nou. Men, nenpòt kisa yon moun pèp Izrayèl parèy nou dwe nou, n'a kite l' pou li.
4 However there will be no poor with you (for the LORD will surely bless you in the land which the LORD your God gives you for an inheritance to possess)
Konsa, p'ap gen moun pòv nan mitan nou, paske Seyè a, Bondye nou an, va beni nou nan peyi l'ap ban nou pou byen eritaj nou an, nan peyi nou pral pran pou nou an.
5 if only you diligently listen to the LORD your God’s voice, to observe to do all this commandment which I command you today.
Men, se pou nou toujou obeyi Seyè a, se pou nou swiv pwen pa pwen tout kòmandman m'ap ban nou jòdi a.
6 For the LORD your God will bless you, as he promised you. You will lend to many nations, but you will not borrow. You will rule over many nations, but they will not rule over you.
Wi, Seyè a, Bondye nou an, va beni nou, jan li te pwomèt nou an, konsa n'a gen lajan pou prete anpil lòt nasyon. Men, nou menm nou p'ap janm bezwen prete nan men pesonn. N'a donminen sou anpil lòt pèp. Men, yo yonn p'ap gen pye sou kou nou.
7 If a poor man, one of your brothers, is with you within any of your gates in your land which the LORD your God gives you, you shall not harden your heart, nor shut your hand from your poor brother;
Si ta gen yon pòv nan mitan moun pèp Izrayèl parèy nou yo k'ap viv nan yonn nan lavil nan peyi Seyè a te ban nou an, pa fèmen kè nou, pa refize lonje men bay frè nou ki nan nesesite.
8 but you shall surely open your hand to him, and shall surely lend him sufficient for his need, which he lacks.
Okontrè, se pou nou lonje men ba li, n'a prete l' lajan pou l' achte tou sa li bezwen.
9 Beware that there not be a wicked thought in your heart, saying, “The seventh year, the year of release, is at hand,” and your eye be evil against your poor brother and you give him nothing; and he cry to the LORD against you, and it be sin to you.
Pa kite ankenn move lide pase nan tèt nou pou nou ta di: Nou toupre setyèm lanne a, lanne pou nou annile dèt tout moun ki dwe nou, epi pou nou fè move jan ak frè parèy nou ki nan nesesite, pou nou derefize prete l' anyen. Paske lè sa a, l'a rele Seyè a, l'a pale l' pou nou, epi n'a gen tò.
10 You shall surely give, and your heart shall not be grieved when you give to him, because it is for this thing the LORD your God will bless you in all your work and in all that you put your hand to.
Non. Se pou nou prete l' epi lè n'ap prete l', se pou ou fè l' ak tout kè ou. Konsa, poutèt sa, Seyè a, Bondye nou an, va beni nou nan tout travay nou, nan tou sa n'ap fè.
11 For the poor will never cease out of the land. Therefore I command you to surely open your hand to your brother, to your needy, and to your poor, in your land.
Va toujou gen kèk moun nan pèp Izrayèl la k'ap nan nesesite. Se poutèt sa mwen mande nou pou nou aprann louvri men nou bay frè parèy nou ki pòv osinon ki nan nesesite nan peyi nou an.
12 If your brother, a Hebrew man, or a Hebrew woman, is sold to you and serves you six years, then in the seventh year you shall let him go free from you.
Si yon moun menm ras ak nou, kit se gason, kit se fanm, vin vann tèt li ban nou pou li sèvi nou esklav, li va sèvi nou sizan. Lè setyèm lanne a va rive, se pou nou kite l' al fè wout li.
13 When you let him go free from you, you shall not let him go empty.
Lè n'ap ranvwaye l' la, pa kite l' ale san nou pa ba li anyen.
14 You shall furnish him liberally out of your flock, out of your threshing floor, and out of your wine press. As the LORD your God has blessed you, you shall give to him.
Men, n'a fè l' kado nan bèt nou yo, nan rekòt jaden nou, nan diven nou ak lwil nou, ki vle di n'a separe avè l' byen Seyè a, Bondye nou an, te ban nou pou benediksyon.
15 You shall remember that you were a slave in the land of Egypt, and the LORD your God redeemed you. Therefore I command you this thing today.
Pa bliye se esklav nou te ye tou nan peyi Lejip la, epi se Seyè a, Bondye nou an, ki te delivre nou. Se poutèt sa mwen ban nou lòd sa a jòdi a.
16 It shall be, if he tells you, “I will not go out from you,” because he loves you and your house, because he is well with you,
Men, si yon esklav konsa di nou li p'ap kite nou, paske li renmen nou ansanm ak tout moun lakay nou, paske nou aji byen avè l',
17 then you shall take an awl, and thrust it through his ear to the door, and he shall be your servant forever. Also to your female servant you shall do likewise.
lè sa a, n'a pran yon bagay pwenti, n'a fè l' pwoche bò pòt devan lakay nou, n'a pèse zòrèy li. Konsa, l'a rete ap sèvi nou pou tout tan jouk li mouri. N'a fè menm bagay la tou pou fanm ki esklav lakay nou.
18 It shall not seem hard to you when you let him go free from you, for he has been double the value of a hired hand as he served you six years. The LORD your God will bless you in all that you do.
Piga nou janm wè sa twò rèd pou nou voye yon esklav tounen lakay li, paske li te sèvi nou pandan sizan pou mwatye pri nou ta peye yon moun k'ap travay pou lajan lakay nou. Se konsa, Seyè a, Bondye nou an, va beni nou nan tou sa n'ap fè.
19 You shall dedicate all the firstborn males that are born of your herd and of your flock to the LORD your God. You shall do no work with the firstborn of your herd, nor shear the firstborn of your flock.
Tout premye pitit mal fenmèl bèf nou osinon fenmèl mouton nou va fè, n'a mete yo apa pou Bondye, Seyè a. Piga nou janm fè premye ti towo fenmèl bèf nou fè a travay pou nou. Ni nou pa dwe janm taye lenn ki sou premye ti belye mouton fenmèl mouton nou yo fè a.
20 You shall eat it before the LORD your God year by year in the place which the LORD shall choose, you and your household.
Chak lanne, nou menm ak tout fanmi nou, n'a manje yo devan Seyè a, kote Seyè a, Bondye nou an, te chwazi a.
21 If it has any defect—is lame or blind, or has any defect whatever, you shall not sacrifice it to the LORD your God.
Men, si l'ap bwete, osinon si li pèdi yon je, oswa si li gen nenpòt lòt enfimite ki konsekan, se pa pou nou touye l' pou Seyè a, Bondye nou an.
22 You shall eat it within your gates. The unclean and the clean shall eat it alike, as the gazelle and as the deer.
N'a manje l' lakay nou, tout moun va manje ladan l', kit yo nan kondisyon pou sèvi Bondye, kit yo pa nan kondisyon pou fè l', menm jan yo konn manje vyann gazèl ak vyann towo bèf.
23 Only you shall not eat its blood. You shall pour it out on the ground like water.
Tansèlman, piga nou manje san l'. Se pou nou vide tout san an atè tankou dlo.
