Deuteronomy 28
1 And it shall come to pass, if thou shall hearken diligently to the voice of Jehovah thy God, to observe to do all his commandments which I command thee this day, that Jehovah thy God will set thee on high above all the nations of the earth,
“Alò, li va rive ke si yo obeyi avèk dilijans SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, e fè atansyon pou fè tout kòmandman Li yo ke mwen kòmande nou jodi a, SENYÈ a va plase nou wo, pi wo pase tout lòt nasyon sou latè yo.
2 and all these blessings shall come upon thee, and overtake thee, if thou shall hearken to the voice of Jehovah thy God:
“Tout benediksyon sila yo va vini sou nou, epi yo va tonbe sou nou nèt, si nou tande vwa SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an.
3 Blessed shall thou be in the city, and blessed shall thou be in the field.
Nou va beni nan vil, e beni andeyò.
4 Blessed shall be the fruit of thy body, and the fruit of thy ground, and the fruit of thy beasts, the increase of thy cattle, and the young of thy flock.
Beni va fwi a vant nou, pòtre a bèt nou yo, kwasans a twoupo nou yo ak jenn pòtre a bann mouton nou yo.
5 Blessed shall be thy basket and thy kneading-trough.
Beni va panyen nou avèk veso k ap foule pat pen an.
6 Blessed shall thou be when thou come in, and blessed shall thou be when thou go out.
Beni lè nou antre, epi beni lè nou sòti.
7 Jehovah will cause thine enemies that rise up against thee to be smitten before thee. They shall come out against thee one way, and shall flee before thee seven ways.
“SENYÈ a va fè lènmi ki leve kont nou yo bat devan nou. Yo va vin parèt kont nou nan yon sèl direksyon, men y ap sove ale devan nou nan sèt direksyon.
8 Jehovah will command the blessing upon thee in thy barns, and in all that thou put thy hand to. And he will bless thee in the land which Jehovah thy God gives thee.
“SENYÈ a va kòmande benediksyon sou nou nan depo nou yo, nan tout bagay, depi nou mete men nou ladann. Li va beni nou nan peyi ke SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, bannou an.
9 Jehovah will establish thee for a holy people to himself, as he has sworn to thee, if thou shall keep the commandments of Jehovah thy God, and walk in his ways.
“SENYÈ a va etabli nou kòm yon pèp ki sen a Li Menm, jan Li te sèmante a nou menm nan, si nou kenbe kòmandman a SENYÈ yo, Bondye nou an, pou mache nan chemen Li yo.
10 And all the peoples of the earth shall see that thou are called by the name of Jehovah, and they shall be afraid of thee.
Konsa, tout pèp sou latè yo va wè ke nou rele pa non SENYÈ a, e yo va pè nou.
11 And Jehovah will make thee plenteous for good, in the fruit of thy body, and in the fruit of thy cattle, and in the fruit of thy ground, in the land which Jehovah swore to thy fathers to give thee.
“SENYÈ a va fè nou ogmante an pwosperite, nan fwi zantray nou, nan fètilite bèt nou yo, ak nan pwodwi tè nou yo, nan peyi ke SENYÈ a, te sèmante a zansèt nou yo pou bannou an.
12 Jehovah will open to thee his good treasure the heavens, to give the rain of thy land in its season, and to bless all the work of thy hand. And thou shall lend to many nations, and thou shall not borrow.
“SENYÈ a va louvri pou nou depo bonte Li a, syèl la, pou bay lapli sou peyi nou nan sezon li, pou beni tout travay a men nou yo. Nou va prete lajan bay anpil nasyon, men nou p ap janm mande prete.
13 And Jehovah will make thee the head, and not the tail. And thou shall only be above, and thou shall not be beneath, if thou shall hearken to the commandments of Jehovah thy God, which I command thee this day, to observe and to do,
SENYÈ a va fè nou tèt olye de ke. Nou va anwo tou sèl, e nou p ap anba, si nou koute kòmandman a SENYÈ yo, Bondye nou an, ke mwen pase lòd bannou jodi a, pou nou swiv avèk atansyon,
14 and shall not turn aside from any of the words which I command you this day, to the right hand, or to the left, to go after other gods to serve them.
epi pa vire akote okenn nan pawòl ke mwen kòmande nou jodi a, ni adwat, ni agoch, pou ale apre lòt dye yo pou sèvi yo.
15 But it shall come to pass, if thou will not hearken to the voice of Jehovah thy God, to observe to do all his commandments and his statutes which I command thee this day, that all these curses shall come upon thee, and overtake thee:
“Men li va vin rive ke si nou pa obeyi SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, pou swiv tout kòmandman Li yo avèk lwa Li yo ke mwen pase lòd bannou jodi a, ke tout malediksyon sa yo va vini sou nou, pou pran nou.
16 Cursed shall thou be in the city, and cursed shall thou be in the field.
“Modi nou va ye nan vil la, epi modi nou va ye andeyò.
17 Cursed shall be thy basket and thy kneading-trough.
“Modi va panyen nou ak bòl k ap pote pen nou.
18 Cursed shall be the fruit of thy body, and the fruit of thy ground, the increase of thy cattle, and the young of thy flock.
“Modi va fwi zantray nou ak pwodwi a tè nou yo, kwasans twoupo a, avèk jenn pòtre bann mouton nou yo.
19 Cursed shall thou be when thou come in, and cursed shall thou be when thou go out.
“Modi nou va ye lè nou antre, epi modi nou va ye lè nou sòti.
20 Jehovah will send upon thee cursing, discomfiture, and rebuke, in all that thou put thy hand to do, until thou be destroyed, and until thou perish quickly, because of the evil of thy doings, by which thou have forsaken me.
“SENYÈ a va voye sou nou madichon, twoub, avèk menas nan tout sa nou eseye fè, jiskaske nou fin detwi nèt, akoz mechanste a zèv nou yo, akoz ke nou te abandone mwen.
21 Jehovah will make the pestilence cling to thee, until he has consumed thee from off the land, where thou go in to possess it.
“SENYÈ a va fè gwo epidemi vin kole sou nou jiskaske li fin manje nou soti nan peyi kote nou ap antre pou posede a.
22 Jehovah will smite thee with consumption, and with fever, and with inflammation, and with fiery heat, and with the sword, and with blight, and with mildew. And they shall pursue thee until thou perish.
“SENYÈ a va frape nou avèk epidemi tibèkiloz ak lafyèv, enflamasyon ak chalè ki brile, avèk nepe, maladi ki seche jaden, avèk pichon. Yo va kouri dèyè nou jiskaske nou mouri.
23 And thy sky that is over thy head shall be brass, and the earth that is under thee shall be iron.
Syèl sou tèt nou an va vin bwonz, epi tè anba pye nou an va vin fè.
24 Jehovah will make the rain of thy land powder and dust. From the sky it shall come down upon thee, until thou be destroyed.
SENYÈ a va fè lapli tè nou an avèk poud e pousyè ki soti nan syèl la. Li va tonbe sou nou jiskaske nou fin detwi.
25 Jehovah will cause thee to be smitten before thine enemies. Thou shall go out one way against them, and shall flee seven ways before them. And thou shall be tossed to and fro among all the kingdoms of the earth.
“SENYÈ a va lakoz ke nou vin bat devan lènmi nou yo. Nou va sòti yon direksyon kont yo e nou va sove ale nan sèt direksyon devan yo. Konsa, nou va jete ale retou pami tout wayòm latè yo.
26 And thy dead body shall be food to all birds of the sky, and to the beasts of the earth, and there shall be none to frighten them away.
Kadav nou va fè manje pou zwazo anlè yo ak bèt sovaj latè yo. Epi konsa, p ap gen moun ki pou chase yo ale.
27 Jehovah will smite thee with the boil of Egypt, and with the emerods, and with the scurvy, and with the itch, of which thou cannot be healed.
“SENYÈ a va frape nou avèk abse Égypte yo, avèk timè e avèk kal sou po nou, ak gratèl, nan sila p ap gen gerizon yo.
28 Jehovah will smite thee with madness, and with blindness, and with confusion of mind,
“SENYÈ a va frape nou pou fè nou fou, avèg ak sezi nan kè.
29 and thou shall grope at noonday, as the blind man gropes in darkness. And thou shall not prosper in thy ways. And thou shall only be oppressed and robbed always, and there shall be none to save thee.
Nou va tatonnen gwo midi, tankou yon avèg tatonnen nan tenèb, epi nou pa p pwospere nan zafè nou yo. Men nou va tout tan oprime e kontinyèlman viktim vòl, san genyen pèsòn pou bannou sekou.
30 Thou shall betroth a wife, and another man shall lie with her. Thou shall build a house, and thou shall not dwell in it. Thou shall plant a vineyard, and shall not use the fruit of it.
“Nou va fiyanse yon madanm, men yon lòt mesye va vyole li. Nou va bati yon kay, men nou p ap viv ladann. Nou va plante yon chan rezen, men nou p ap sèvi nan fwi li.
31 Thine ox shall be slain before thine eyes, and thou shall not eat of it. Thy donkey shall be violently taken away from before thy face, and shall not be restored to thee. Thy sheep shall be given to thine enemies, and thou shall have none to save thee.
“Bèf nou va touye devan zye nou, men nou p ap manje ladann. Bourik nou va rache nan men nou, e yo p ap remèt bannou. Mouton nou va bay a lènmi nou yo, e nou p ap gen okenn moun ki pou sove nou.
32 Thy sons and thy daughters shall be given to another people. And thine eyes shall look, and fail with longing for them all the day, and there shall be nothing in the power of thy hand.
“Fis nou yo ak fi nou yo va bay a yon lòt pèp. Zye nou yo ap gade sou sa e anvi wè yo tout tan, men p ap gen anyen nou kapab fè.
33 The fruit of thy ground, and all thy labors, shall a nation eat up which thou know not. And thou shall only be oppressed and crushed always,
“Yon pèp nou pa menm konnen va vin manje pwodwi a tè nou yo ak tout travay nou yo. Nou p ap janm wè anyen sof ke oprime e kraze tout tan.
34 so that thou shall be mad because of the sight of thine eyes which thou shall see.
Sa nou wè ak zè nou va fè nou vin fou nèt.
35 Jehovah will smite thee in the knees, and in the legs, with a sore boil, of which thou cannot be healed, from the sole of thy foot to the crown of thy head.
SENYÈ a va frape nou sou jenou ak janm avèk abse ki fè mal, ki pa gen gerizon soti anba pye nou rive jis anwo tèt nou.
36 Jehovah will bring thee, and thy king whom thou shall set over thee, to a nation that thou have not known, thou nor thy fathers. And there thou shall serve other gods, wood and stone.
“SENYÈ a va mennen nou avèk wa ke nou mete sou nou yo, a yon nasyon ki ni nou menm, ni zansèt nou yo pa t konnen. Epi la, nou va sèvi lòt dye yo, fèt ak bwa ak wòch.
37 And thou shall become an astonishment, a proverb, and a byword, among all the peoples where Jehovah shall lead thee away.
Nou va devni yon objè meprize etonan, yon pwovèb, yon plezi pami tout pèp kote SENYÈ a pouse nou ale yo.
38 Thou shall carry much seed out into the field, and shall gather little in, for the locust shall consume it.
“Nou va pote anpil semans nan chan yo, men nou va ranmase piti, paske krikèt yo va manje yo.
39 Thou shall plant vineyards and dress them, but thou shall neither drink of the wine, nor gather, for the worm shall eat them.
Nou va plante e kiltive chan rezen yo, men nou p ap bwè diven, ni ranmase fwi yo, paske vè va devore yo.
40 Thou shall have olive trees throughout all thy borders, but thou shall not anoint thyself with the oil, for thine olive shall drop off.
Nou va genyen pye doliv nan tout teritwa nou yo, men nou p ap onksyone nou avèk lwil, paske fwi doliv yo va tonbe.
41 Thou shall beget sons and daughters, but they shall not be thine, for they shall go into captivity.
“Nou va gen fis ak fi, men yo p ap pou nou, paske yo va antre an kaptivite.
42 All thy trees and the fruit of thy ground shall the locust possess.
“Krikèt va posede tout bwa ak pwodwi latè nou yo.
43 The sojourner who is in the midst of thee shall mount up above thee higher and higher, and thou shall come down lower and lower.
“Etranje ki pami nou an, va leve pi wo e pi wo ke nou, men nou va desann piba, e piba.
44 He shall lend to thee, and thou shall not lend to him. He shall be the head, and thou shall be the tail.
Li va prete nou lajan, men nou p ap gen pou prete li. Li va tèt, nou menm, nou va ke.
45 And all these curses shall come upon thee, and shall pursue thee, and overtake thee, till thou be destroyed, because thou hearkened not to the voice of Jehovah thy God, to keep his commandments and his statutes which he commanded thee,
“Konsa tout madichon sa yo va vini sou nou pou pran nou jiskaske nou fin detwi, akoz nou pa t obeyi SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an. Nou pa t kenbe Kòmandman Li yo ak lwa Li yo, ke Li te kòmande nou.
46 and they shall be upon thee for a sign and for a wonder, and upon thy seed forever.
“Madichon sa yo va devni yon sign ak yon mèvèy pou nou ak desandan nou yo jis pou tout tan.
47 Because thou served not Jehovah thy God with joyfulness, and with gladness of heart, by reason of the abundance of all things,
Akoz nou pa t sèvi SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, pou nou ta twouve tout bagay, avèk jwa ak kè kontan.
48 therefore thou shall serve thine enemies that Jehovah shall send against thee, in hunger, and in thirst, and in nakedness, and in want of all things. And he shall put a yoke of iron upon thy neck, until he has destroyed thee.
Pou sa, nou va sèvi lènmi nou yo ke SENYÈ a va voye kont nou, nan grangou, nan swaf, nan toutouni ak nan manke tout bagay. Konsa, Li va mete yon jouk fèt an fè sou kou nou jiskaske Li fin detwi nou.
49 Jehovah will bring a nation against thee from far, from the end of the earth, as the eagle flies, a nation whose tongue thou shall not understand,
“SENYÈ a va mennen yon nasyon kont nou soti lwen nan dènye pwent latè, tankou èg desann; yon nasyon ak yon langaj nou p ap konprann,
50 a nation of fierce countenance, that shall not regard the person of the old, nor show favor to the young,
yon nasyon, avèk figi fewòs, ki p ap gen respè pou ansyen yo, ni montre favè a jèn yo.
51 and shall eat the fruit of thy cattle, and the fruit of thy ground, until thou be destroyed, that also shall not leave thee grain, new wine, or oil, the increase of thy cattle, or the young of thy flock, until they have caused thee to perish.
Yo va manje fwi a twoupo nou yo ak pwodwi a tè nou yo jiskaske nou fin detwi. Yo p ap kite anyen, ni diven nèf la, ni lwil, ni fwi a twoupo nou yo oswa bann mouton nou yo jiskaske yo fè nou mouri.
52 And they shall besiege thee in all thy gates, until thy high and fortified walls come down, in which thou trusted, throughout all thy land. And they shall besiege thee in all thy gates throughout all thy land, which Jehovah thy God has given thee.
Yo va mete syèj sou nou nan tout vil nou yo jiskaske miray wo byen fòtifye nan sila nou te mete konfyans nou yo tonbe atravè peyi nou an. Yo va fè syèj sou nou nan vil nou yo nan tout peyi ke SENYÈ a te bannou an.
53 And thou shall eat the fruit of thine own body, the flesh of thy sons and of thy daughters, whom Jehovah thy God has given thee, in the siege and in the distress with which thine enemies shall distress thee.
“Konsa, nou va vin manje pitit a pwòp vant nou, chè a fis nou yo avèk fi nou yo ke SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, te bannou yo, pandan syèj la, ak tan rèd lan lè lènmi nou yo oprime nou.
54 The man who is tender among you, and very delicate, his eye shall be evil toward his brother, and toward the wife of his bosom, and toward the remnant of his sons whom he has remaining,
“Nonm pami nou ki byen rafine e ki janti a va vin sovaj anvè frè li, anvè madanm ke li renmen anpil la, ak anvè tout lòt pitit li ki rete yo,
55 so that he will not give to any of them of the flesh of his sons whom he shall eat, because he has nothing left to him, in the siege and in the distress with which thine enemy shall distress thee in all thy gates.
jis li p ap bay menm youn nan yo okenn nan chè a pitit li ke li va manje a; akoz nanpwen anyen ki rete, pandan syèj la ak tan di anpil la, pa sila ke lènmi nou yo va oprime nou nan tout vil nou yo.
56 The tender and delicate woman among you, who would not adventure to set the sole of her foot upon the ground for delicateness and tenderness, her eye shall be evil toward the husband of her bosom, and toward her son, and toward her daughter,
“Fanm pami nou ki byen rafine e ki janti a, ki pa t ap eseye menm mete pye li atè tèlman li rafine e janti, li va vin sovaj anvè mari li ke li renmen anpil la, anvè fis li avèk fi li,
57 and toward her young one who comes out from between her feet, and toward her sons whom she shall bear, for she shall eat them secretly for want of all things, in the siege and in the distress with which thine enemy shall distress thee in thy gates.
epi anvè vant ki sòti antre janm li yo lè l fè pitit e anvè pitit li yo ke li fè; paske li va manje yo an sekrè akoz mank tout lòt bagay pandan syèj la, e akoz soufrans pa sila lènmi nou va oprime nou nan vil nou yo.
58 If thou will not observe to do all the words of this law that are written in this book, that thou may fear this glorious and fearful name, JEHOVAH THY GOD,
“Konsa, si nou pa fè atansyon pou swiv tout pawòl a lwa sila yo ki ekri nan liv sila yo, avèk krent non sa a ki plen onè e ki mèvèye la, SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an,
59 then Jehovah will make thy calamities extraordinary, and the calamities of thy seed, even great calamities and of long continuance, and severe sicknesses and of long continuance.
alò, SENYÈ a va mennen toumant ekstrawòdinè vin sou nou avèk desandan nou yo, menm gran toumant ki sevè e ki dire anpil, epidemi ki pa janm fini, e maladi ki rete mize.
60 And he will bring upon thee again all the diseases of Egypt, which thou were afraid of, and they shall cling to thee.
Li va fè retounen sou nou tout maladi Égypte ke nou pè yo e yo va kole sou nou.
61 Also every sickness, and every calamity, which is not written in the book of this law, them Jehovah will bring upon thee, until thou be destroyed.
Osi, tout kalite maladi ak toumant ki pa menm ekri nan liv lalwa sila a, SENYÈ a va mennen yo sou nou jiskaske nou fin detwi.
62 And ye shall be left few in number, whereas ye were as the stars of heaven for multitude, because thou did not hearken to the voice of Jehovah thy God.
“Konsa, nou va rete piti an kantite, malgre avan nou te gran an kantite tankou zetwal syèl yo, akoz ke nou pa t obeyi SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an.
63 And it shall come to pass, that, as Jehovah rejoiced over you to do you good, and to multiply you, so Jehovah will rejoice over you to cause you to perish, and to destroy you. And ye shall be plucked from off the land where thou go in to possess it.
“Li va rive ke menm jan SENYÈ a te fè kè kontan sou nou pou fè nou pwospere e miltipliye nou an; konsa, SENYÈ a va fè kè kontan sou nou pou fè nou peri e detwi nou. Nou va chire sòti nan tè ke nou ap antre pou posede a.
64 And Jehovah will scatter thee among all peoples, from the one end of the earth even to the other end of the earth. And there thou shall serve other gods, which thou have not known, thou nor thy fathers, even wood and stone.
“Anplis, SENYÈ a va fè nou gaye pami tout pèp la jis soti nan pwent latè pou rive nan lòt la. Epi la, nou va sèvi lòt dye yo, bwa avèk wòch, ke nou menm avèk zansèt nou yo pa t janm konnen.
65 And among these nations thou shall find no ease, and there shall be no rest for the sole of thy foot, but Jehovah will give thee there a trembling heart, and failing of eyes, and pining of soul.
Pami nasyon sila yo, nou p ap twouve repo, ni p ap gen plas repo pou pla pye nou. Men la, SENYÈ a va bannou kè sote, zye ki febli ak nanm ki pèdi espwa.
66 And thy life shall hang in doubt before thee, and thou shall fear night and day, and shall have no assurance of thy life.
“Konsa, lavi nou va pandye nan dout devan nou. Nou va gen gwo laperèz lannwit kon lajounen, ni nou p ap gen asirans lavi nou.
67 In the morning thou shall say, Would it were evening! and at evening thou shall say, Would it were morning! for the fear of thy heart which thou shall fear, and for the sight of thine eyes which thou shall see.
“Nan maten, nou va di: ‘Pito lannwit te rive’, e nan aswè, nou va di: ‘Pito se te maten!’ akoz krent kè nou ki bannou laperèz e pou vizyon a zye nou ke yo va wè.
68 And Jehovah will bring thee into Egypt again with ships, by the way of which I said to thee, Thou shall see it no more again. And there ye shall sell yourselves to your enemies for bondmen and for bondwomen, and no man shall buy you.
“SENYÈ a va mennen nou retounen an Égypte nan gwo bato, pa chemen ke m te pale nou an: ‘Nou p ap janm wè li ankò!’ Epi la, nou va ofri tèt nou menm pou vann a lènmi nou yo kòm esklav mal ak femèl, men p ap gen moun pou achte nou.”
