Deteronòm 24
1 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'.
When a man taketh a wife, and marrieth her, then it shall be, if she find no favor in his eyes, because he hath found some unseemly thing in her, that he shall write her a bill of divorcement, and give it in her hand, and send her out of his house.
2 Apre sa, si fanm lan kite kay papa l', l' al marye ak yon lòt gason,
And when she is departed out of his house, she may go and be another man’s [wife].
3 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,
And if the latter husband hate her, and write her a bill of divorcement, and give it in her hand, and send her out of his house; or if the latter husband die, who took her to be his wife;
4 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.
her former husband, who sent her away, may not take her again to be his wife, after that she is defiled; for that is abomination before Jehovah: and thou shalt not cause the land to sin, which Jehovah thy God giveth thee for an inheritance.
5 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.
When a man taketh a new wife, he shall not go out in the host, neither shall he be charged with any business: he shall be free at home one year, and shall cheer his wife whom he hath taken.
6 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.
No man shall take the mill or the upper millstone to pledge; for he taketh [a man’s] life to pledge.
7 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.
If a man be found stealing any of his brethren of the children of Israel, and he deal with him as a slave, or sell him; then that thief shall die: so shalt thou put away the evil from the midst of thee.
8 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.
Take heed in the plague of leprosy, that thou observe diligently, and do according to all that the priests the Levites shall teach you: as I commanded them, so ye shall observe to do.
9 Pa janm bliye sa Seyè a, Bondye nou an, te fè Miryam, lè nou t'ap soti kite peyi Lejip la.
Remember what Jehovah thy God did unto Miriam, by the way as ye came forth out of Egypt.
10 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.
When thou dost lend thy neighbor any manner of loan, thou shalt not go into his house to fetch his pledge.
11 N'a rete deyò, n'a tann li pote garanti a ban nou deyò a.
Thou shalt stand without, and the man to whom thou dost lend shall bring forth the pledge without unto thee.
12 Si se yon nonm ki pòv, pa kite rad li ban nou pou garanti a pase nwit lakay nou.
And if he be a poor man, thou shalt not sleep with his pledge;
13 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.
thou shalt surely restore to him the pledge when the sun goeth down, that he may sleep in his garment, and bless thee: and it shall be righteousness unto thee before Jehovah thy God.
14 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.
Thou shalt not oppress a hired servant that is poor and needy, whether he be of thy brethren, or of thy sojourners that are in thy land within thy gates:
15 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.
in his day thou shalt give him his hire, neither shall the sun go down upon it (for he is poor, and setteth his heart upon it); lest he cry against thee unto Jehovah, and it be sin unto thee.
16 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.
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.
17 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'.
Thou shalt not wrest the justice [due] to the sojourner, [or] to the fatherless, nor take the widow’s raiment to pledge;
18 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.
but thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in Egypt, and Jehovah thy God redeemed thee thence: therefore I command thee to do this thing.
19 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.
When thou reapest thy harvest in thy field, and hast forgot a sheaf in the field, thou shalt not go again to fetch it: it shall be for the sojourner, for the fatherless, and for the widow; that Jehovah thy God may bless thee in all the work of thy hands.
20 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.
When thou beatest thine olive-tree, thou shalt not go over the boughs again: it shall be for the sojourner, for the fatherless, and for the widow.
21 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.
When thou gatherest [the grapes of] thy vineyard, thou shalt not glean it after thee: it shall be for the sojourner, for the fatherless, and for the widow.
22 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.
And thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in the land of Egypt: therefore I command thee to do this thing.
