Deteronòm 16

1 “Obsève mwa Abib lan pou selebre Pak a SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an; paske nan mwa Abib la, SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, te mennen nou sòti an Égypte nan nwit lan.

Observe the month of new [corn], and thou shalt sacrifice the passover to the Lord thy God; because in the month of new corn thou camest out of Egypt by night.

2 Nou va fè sakrifis Pak a SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, soti nan bann mouton avèk twoupo a, kote SENYÈ a chwazi pou etabli non Li an.

And thou shalt sacrifice the passover to the Lord thy God, sheep and oxen in the place which the Lord thy God shall choose to have his name called upon it.

3 “Nou p ap manje pen ak ledven avè l. Sèt jou, nou va manje nan li pen san ledven, pen afliksyon an (paske nou te sòti nan peyi Égypte la prese prese), pou nou kab sonje tout jou sa a tout lavi nou, jou ke nou te sòti nan peyi Égypte la.

Thou shalt not eat leaven with it; seven days shalt thou eat unleavened [bread] with it, bread of affliction, because ye came forth out of Egypt in haste; that ye may remember the day of your coming forth out of the land of Egypt all the days of your life.

4 Pandan sèt jou, p ap gen ledven k ap parèt pami nou nan tout teritwa nou yo; ni okenn nan chè ke nou sakrifye nan aswè premye jou a, p ap rete tout nwit lan pou rive maten.

Leaven shall not be seen with thee in all thy borders for seven days, and there shall not be left of the flesh which thou shalt sacrifice at even on the first day until the morning.

5 “Nou pa kapab fè sakrifis Pak la nan nenpòt nan vil ke SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, ap bannou yo,

thou shalt not have power to sacrifice the passover in any of the cities, which the Lord thy God gives thee.

6 men kote SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, chwazi pou etabli non Li an, nou va fè sakrifis Pak la nan aswè, nan lè solèy kouche, nan menm lè jou ke nou te sòti an Égypte la.

But in the place which the Lord thy God shall choose, to have his name called there, thou shalt sacrifice the passover at even at the setting of the sun, at the time when thou camest out of Egypt.

7 Nou va kwit e manje li nan plas ke SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, chwazi a. Nan maten, nou va retounen nan tant yo.

And thou shalt boil and roast and eat it in the place, which the Lord thy God shall choose; and thou shalt return in the morning, and go to thy house.

8 Sis jou, nou va manje pen san ledven an. Konsa, nan setyèm jou a, va genyen yon konvokasyon solanèl a SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an. Nou pa pou fè okenn travay nan li.

Six days shalt thou eat unleavened bread, and on the seventh day is a holiday, a feast to the Lord thy God: thou shalt not do in it any work, save what must be done by any one.

9 “Nou va kontwole sèt semèn pou kont nou. Nou va kòmanse konte sèt semèn yo soti nan lè nou kòmanse mete kouto nan grenn sereyal la.

Seven weeks shalt thou number to thyself; when thou hast begun [to put] the sickle to the corn, thou shalt begin to number seven weeks.

10 Epi nou va selebre Fèt Semèn a SENYÈ yo, Bondye nou an, avèk don a yon ofrann bòn volonte nan men nou, ke nou va bay selon jan SENYÈ a beni nou.

And thou shalt keep the feast of weeks to the Lord thy God, accordingly as thy hand has power in as many things as the Lord thy God shall give thee.

11 Konsa, nou va rejwi devan SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, nou menm avèk fis nou ak fi nou yo, sèvitè avèk sèvant nou yo, Levit ki nan vil nou an, e etranje avèk òfelen ak vèv ki nan mitan nou yo, nan kote ke SENYÈ Bondye nou an, chwazi pou etabli non Li an.

And thou shalt rejoice before the Lord thy God, thou and thy son, and thy daughter, thy man-servant and thy maid-servant, and the Levite, and the stranger, and the orphan, and the widow which dwells among you, in whatsoever place the Lord thy God shall choose, that his name should be called there.

12 Nou va sonje ke nou te esklav an Égypte, e nou va fè atansyon pou obsève tout lwa sa yo.

And thou shalt remember that thou wast a servant in the land of Egypt, and thou shalt observe and do these commands.

13 “Nou va selebre Fèt Tonèl yo sèt jou apre nou fin fè antre, tout grenn jaden ak sitèn diven an.

Thou shalt keep for thyself the feast of tabernacles seven days, when thou gatherest in [thy produce] from thy corn-floor and thy wine-press.

14 Nou va rejwi nan fèt nou, nou menm avèk fis nou ak fi nou yo, sèvitè ak sèvant nou yo, Levit la ak etranje a, òfelen ak vèv ki nan vil nou yo.

And thou shalt rejoice in thy feast, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, thy man-servant, and thy maid-servant, and the Levite, and the stranger, and the orphan, and the widow that is in thy cities.

15 Sèt jou, nou va selebre yon fèt a SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, kote ke SENYÈ a chwazi a, akoz SENYÈ Bondye nou an, va beni nou nan rekòlt nou yo ak nan tout travay men nou yo, pou nou kab vin ranpli nèt avèk jwa.

Seven days shalt thou keep a feast to the Lord thy God in the place which the Lord thy God shall choose for himself; and if the Lord thy God shall bless thee in all thy fruits, and in every work of thy hands, then thou shalt rejoice.

16 “Twa fwa pa ane, tout mal nou yo va parèt devan SENYÈ, Bondye nou an, kote Li chwazi a, nan Fèt Pen San Ledven an, nan Fèt Semèn yo, nan Fèt Tonèl yo, e yo p ap parèt devan SENYÈ a men vid.

Three times in the year shall all thy males appear before the Lord thy God in the place which the Lord shall choose in the feast of unleavened bread, and in the feast of weeks, and in the feast of tabernacles: thou shalt not appear before the Lord thy God empty.

17 Chak moun va bay jan li kapab, selon benediksyon SENYÈ a, te bannou an.

Each one according to his ability, according to the blessing of the Lord thy God which he has given thee.

18 “Nou va chwazi pou nou menm jij avèk ofisye nan tout vil ke SENYÈ, Bondye nou an, ap bannou yo, selon tribi yo, e yo va jije pèp la avèk jijman ki dwat.

Thou shalt make for thyself judges and officers in thy cities, which the Lord thy God gives thee in [thy] tribes, and they shall judge the people with righteous judgment:

19 Nou p ap tòde jistis la. Nou p ap fè patipri, e nou p ap pran anyen anba tab; paske afè anba tab avegle zye a saj yo, e pèvèti pawòl a sila ki dwat yo.

they shall not wrest judgment, nor favour persons, nor receive a gift; for gifts blind the eyes of the wise, and pervert the words of the righteous.

20 Lajistis e se sèl lajistis nou va swiv, pou nou kapab viv e posede peyi ke SENYÈ, Bondye nou an, ap bannou an.

Thou shalt justly pursue justice, that ye may live, and go in and inherit the land which the Lord thy God gives thee.

21 “Nou pa pou plante pou kont nou yon Ashera, ni okenn kalite pyebwa akote lotèl SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, ke nou va fè pou tèt nou.

Thou shalt not plant for thyself a grove; thou shalt not plant for thyself any tree near the altar of thy God.

22 Nou pa pou etabli pou kont nou okenn wòch sakre ke SENYÈ Bondye nou an, rayi.

Thou shalt not set up for thyself a pillar, which the Lord thy God hates.
