Egzòd 20
1 Bondye pran pale, li di:
God spoke all these words, saying,
2 -Se mwen menm, Seyè a, Bondye nou an, ki te fè nou soti nan peyi Lejip kote nou te esklav la.
"I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
3 Piga nou gen lòt bondye pase mwen menm sèlman.
Do not have other gods before me.
4 Piga nou janm fè ankenn estati ni ankenn pòtre ki sanble bagay ki anwo nan syèl la, osinon bagay ki sou latè ou ankò nan dlo anba tè a.
"Do not make for yourselves an idol, nor any image of anything that is in the heavens above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth:
5 Piga nou adore yo, ni piga nou sèvi yo. Paske mwen menm, Seyè a, Bondye nou an, mwen se yon Bondye ki fè jalouzi. Lè yon moun rayi m', mwen fè pitit li, pitit pitit li ak pitit pitit pitit li yo peye sa.
you must not bow yourself down to them, nor serve them, for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children, and upon the children's children, on the third and on the fourth [generation] of those who hate me,
6 Men, lè yon moun renmen m', lè li fè sa m' mande l' fè, m'ap moutre l' jan mwen renmen l' tou ansanm ak tout pitit pitit li yo pandan mil jenerasyon.
and showing loving kindness to thousands of those who love me and keep my commandments.
7 Piga nou sèvi mal ak non Seyè a, Bondye nou an, paske Seyè a p'ap manke pa pini moun ki sèvi mal avèk non li.
"Do not take the name of the LORD your God in vain, for the LORD will not hold him guiltless who takes his name in vain.
8 Toujou chonje jou repo a pou nou mete l' apa pou mwen.
"Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.
9 N'a travay sis jou. Lè sa yo n'a fè tou sa nou gen pou fè.
Six days you may labor, and do all your work,
10 Men, setyèm jou a, se jou repo pou nou mete apa pou Seyè a, Bondye nou an. Jou sa a, nou p'ap fè ankenn travay, ni nou menm, ni pitit gason nou, ni pitit fi nou, ni moun k'ap travay lakay nou, ni bèt nou yo, ni etranje ki lakay nou.
but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the LORD your God. You must not do any work in it, you, nor your son, nor your daughter, your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your livestock, nor your stranger who is within your gates;
11 Paske, Seyè a te pran sis jou pou l' fè syèl la, latè a ak lanmè a ansanm ak tou sa ki ladan yo. Apre sa, sou setyèm jou a, li pran repo. Se poutèt sa, Seyè a beni jou repo a, li mete l' apa pou li.
for in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day; therefore the LORD blessed the seventh day, and made it holy.
12 Respekte manman nou ak papa nou pou nou ka viv lontan nan peyi Seyè a, Bondye nou an, ban nou an.
"Honor your father and your mother, that it may be well with you, that your days may be long in the land which the LORD your God gives you.
13 Piga nou touye moun.
"Do not commit adultery.
14 Piga nou fè adiltè.
"Do not murder.
15 Piga nou pran sa ki pa pou nou.
"Do not steal.
16 Piga nou bay manti sou frè parèy nou.
"Do not give false testimony against your neighbor.
17 Piga nou pote lanvi sou sa ki pa pou nou: ni sou kay frè parèy nou, ni sou madanm li, ni sou moun k'ap sèvi lakay li, ni sou bèf li, ni sou bourik li, ni sou ankenn lòt bagay ki pou frè parèy nou.
"Do not covet your neighbor's house. Do not covet your neighbor's wife, nor his male servant, nor his female servant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything that is your neighbor's."
18 Lè pèp la tande bri loraj la ak son twonpèt la, lè yo wè kout zèklè sou kout zèklè, ak mòn lan ki t'ap pouse lafimen, yo tranble sitèlman yo te pè. Yo ret kanpe byen lwen.
And all the people saw the thunder and the lightning and the sound of the trumpet and the mountain smoking, and the people were afraid and trembled and kept their distance.
19 Yo di Moyiz konsa: -Pito se ou menm ki pale ak nou, n'a koute sa w'ap di. Men, si se Bondye ki pou pale avèk nou, n'a mouri.
They said to Moses, "Speak with us yourself, and we will listen; but do not let God speak with us, lest we die."
20 Moyiz di pèp la: -Nou pa bezwen pè. Bondye vini pou wè kote nou ye avèk li. Li vle pou nou toujou gen krentif pou li, pou nou pa lage kò nou nan fè peche.
Moses said to the people, "Do not be afraid, for God has come to test you, and that his fear may be before you, that you won't sin."
21 Men pèp la rete kanpe byen lwen. Sèl Moyiz te pwoche kote nwaj nwa a kote Bondye te ye a.
The people stayed at a distance, and Moses drew near to the thick darkness where God was.
22 Seyè a di Moyiz: -Men sa pou ou di moun pèp Izrayèl yo: Nou wè ki jan mwen ret nan syèl la pou m' pale ak nou.
The LORD said to Moses, "This is what you shall tell the children of Israel: 'You yourselves have seen that I have talked with you from heaven.
23 Piga n al fè lòt bondye an ajan osinon an lò pou nou sèvi yo ansanm avè m'.
You shall most certainly not make alongside of me gods of silver, or gods of gold for yourselves.
24 N'a bati yon lòtèl an tè pou mwen. Se sou li n'a ofri bèt n'a touye pou boule nèt yo ak bèt n'a touye pou di mèsi. Se sou li n'a ofri mouton ak bèf nou yo. Chak kote m'a di nou pou nou fè sèvis pou mwen, m'a vin jwenn nou la, m'a beni nou.
You shall make an altar of earth for me, and shall sacrifice on it your burnt offerings and your peace offerings, your sheep and your cattle. In every place where I record my name I will come to you and I will bless you.
25 Si nou fe yon lòtèl ak ròch pou mwen, pa travay ròch n'a pran pou fè l' la. Paske lè ou travay yon ròch ak sizo, li pa ka sèvi pou mwen ankò.
If you make me an altar of stone, you shall not build it of cut stones; for if you lift up your tool on it, you have polluted it.
26 Piga nou sèvi ak macheskalye pou nou moute sou lòtèl mwen pou moun pa wè anba rad nou.
Neither shall you go up by steps to my altar, that your nakedness may not be exposed to it.'
