Deuteronomy 32
1 Give ear, O heavens, and I will speak; hear, O earth, the words of my mouth.
“Prete zòrèy nou, O syèl yo; kite mwen pale. Kite tè a tande pawòl a bouch mwen yo.
2 Let my teaching fall like rain and my speech settle like dew, like gentle rain on new grass, like showers on tender plants.
Kite enstriksyon mwen yo tonbe tankou lapli, pawòl mwen yo poze tankou lawouze, tankou ti gout sou zèb fre, ak lapli k ap farinen sou zèb.
3 For I will proclaim the name of the LORD. Ascribe greatness to our God!
Paske mwen pwoklame non a SENYÈ a. Bay glwa a Bondye nou an!
4 He is the Rock, His work is perfect; all His ways are just. A God of faithfulness without injustice, righteous and upright is He.
Wòch la! Zèv Li yo pafè, paske tout chemen li yo jis. Yon Bondye fidèl e san enjistis, dwat e jis ke Li ye.
5 His people have acted corruptly toward Him; the spot on them is not that of His children, but of a perverse and crooked generation.
Yo te fè zak konwonpi anvè Li. Yo pa pitit li akoz defo yo. Yon jenerasyon pèvèti e kwochi,
6 Is this how you repay the LORD, O foolish and senseless people? Is He not your Father and Creator? Has He not made you and established you?
se konsa nou rekonpanse SENYÈ a, O pèp ki san konprann e ki san sajès? Èske se pa Papa nou, Kreyatè nou an, ki te fè nou e ki te fòme nou?
7 Remember the days of old; consider the years long past. Ask your father, and he will tell you, your elders, and they will inform you.
Sonje jou tan pase yo, konsidere lane a tout jenerasyon yo. Mande papa nou e li va fè nou konnen, ansyen nou yo e yo va di nou.
8 When the Most High gave the nations their inheritance, when He divided the sons of man, He set the boundaries of the peoples according to the number of the sons of God.
Lè Pi Wo a te bay nasyon yo eritaj yo, lè Li te separe fis a lòm yo, Li te etabli lizyè a tout pèp la Selon kantite a fis Israël yo.
9 But the LORD’s portion is His people, Jacob His allotted inheritance.
Paske pòsyon SENYÈ a se pèp Li a. Jacob se don eritaj Li a.
10 He found him in a desert land, in a barren, howling wilderness; He surrounded him, He instructed him, He guarded him as the apple of His eye.
Li te twouve li nan yon peyi dezè, nan savann dezole kote van soufle a. Li te antoure li, Li te pran swen li, Li te pwoteje li tankou de zye nan tèt Li.
11 As an eagle stirs up its nest and hovers over its young, He spread His wings to catch them and carried them on His pinions.
Tankou yon èg ki anvayi nich li, ki pann sou jenn pitit li yo, Li te ouvri zèl li yo pou te kenbe yo. Li te pote yo anwo plim li.
12 The LORD alone led him, and no foreign god was with him.
SENYÈ a sèl te gide li. Li pa t gen dye etranje ki te avè l.
13 He made him ride on the heights of the land and fed him the produce of the field. He nourished him with honey from the rock and oil from the flinty crag,
Li te fè li monte sou wo plas tè yo. Yo te manje pwodwi a chan yo. Li te fè li souse siwo myèl nan wòch la, ak lwil nan wòch ki te di:
14 with curds from the herd and milk from the flock, with the fat of lambs, with rams from Bashan, and goats, with the choicest grains of wheat. From the juice of the finest grapes you drank the wine.
Bòl lèt a bèf yo ak lèt bann kabrit yo, avèk grès jenn ti mouton yo, Belye a ras Basan yo ak kabrit, Avèk ble ki pi fen yo. Nou te bwè san rezen an, diven an menm nou te bwe.
15 But Jeshurun grew fat and kicked— becoming fat, bloated, and gorged. He abandoned the God who made him and scorned the Rock of his salvation.
Men Israël te vin gra e te voye pye. Ou vin gra, gwo e swa. Li te abandone Bondye ki te fè l la, e li te meprize Wòch a delivrans li an.
16 They provoked His jealousy with foreign gods; they enraged Him with abominations.
Yo te fè Li vin jalou avèk dye etranje yo. Avèk bagay abominab, yo te pwovoke Li a lakòlè.
17 They sacrificed to demons, not to God, to gods they had not known, to newly arrived gods, which your fathers did not fear.
Yo te fè sakrifis a dyab ki pa t Bondye yo, a dye ke yo pa t janm konnen, dye nèf ki fenk parèt, ke zansèt nou yo pa t janm bay lakrent.
18 You ignored the Rock who brought you forth; you forgot the God who gave you birth.
Nou te neglije Wòch ki te fè nou an, e nou te bliye Bondye ki te bannou nesans lan.
19 When the LORD saw this, He rejected them, provoked to anger by His sons and daughters.
SENYÈ a te wè sa e te meprize yo akoz pwovokasyon fis ak fi Li yo.
20 He said: “I will hide My face from them; I will see what will be their end. For they are a perverse generation— children of unfaithfulness.
“Alò, Li te di: ‘Mwen va kache figi Mwen sou yo. Mwen va wè kijan yo fini; Paske yo se yon jenerasyon pèvès, fis ki pa fidèl.
21 They have provoked My jealousy by that which is not God; they have enraged Me with their worthless idols. So I will make them jealous by those who are not a people; I will make them angry by a nation without understanding.
‘Yo te fè m jalou avèk sa ki pa Bondye yo. Yo te pwovoke Mwen a lakòlè avèk zidòl yo. Konsa tou, Mwen va fè yo jalou avèk sa ki pa yon pèp yo. Mwen va pwovoke yo a lakòlè avèk yon nasyon ki san konprann.
22 For a fire has been kindled by My anger, and it burns to the depths of Sheol; it consumes the earth and its produce, and scorches the foundations of the mountains. (Sheol h7585)
Paske yon dife vin limen nan chalè Mwen, ki brile jis rive nan pati pi fon nan sejou lanmò yo. Li manje latè a avèk tout don li yo, e limen dife a nan fondasyon mòn yo. (Sheol h7585)
23 I will heap disasters upon them; I will spend My arrows against them.
Mwen va ogmante gwo pil malè sou yo. Mwen va depanse flèch Mwen sou yo.
24 They will be wasted from hunger and ravaged by pestilence and bitter plague; I will send the fangs of wild beasts against them, with the venom of vipers that slither in the dust.
Mwen va epwize yo ak gwo grangou, e manje yo ak chalè ki brile, e avèk destriksyon anmè. Mwen va voye pami yo bèt voras, avèk pwazon a bèt ki trennen sou vant.
25 Outside, the sword will take their children, and inside, terror will strike the young man and the young woman, the infant and the gray-haired man.
Pa deyò, se nepe ki va rache lavi yo, epi pa anndan, gwo laperèz, ni sou jennonm ni vyèj la, tibebe a avèk granmoun cheve blanch lan.
26 I would have said that I would cut them to pieces and blot out their memory from mankind,
Mwen te prèt pou di: “M ap koupe yo an mòso, M ap rache memwa yo soti de lòm,
27 if I had not dreaded the taunt of the enemy, lest their adversaries misunderstand and say: ‘Our own hand has prevailed; it was not the LORD who did all this.’”
si M pa t krent ke li t ap pwovoke lènmi an, ke lènmi pa yo ta mal jije pou yo ta di: “Se men nou ki gen viktwa a. Se pa t vrèman SENYÈ a ki fè tout sa.”’
28 Israel is a nation devoid of counsel, with no understanding among them.
Paske yo se yon nasyon ki manke bon konsèy. Yo san konprann.
29 If only they were wise, they would understand it; they would comprehend their fate.
Pito ke yo te saj, ke yo te konprann sa, ke yo te konprann avni yo!
30 How could one man pursue a thousand, or two put ten thousand to flight, unless their Rock had sold them, unless the LORD had given them up?
Kijan yon moun ta kapab chase yon milye, pou de sèl grenn fè di mil sove ale, sof ke Wòch pa yo a te vann yo, sof ke SENYÈ a te livre yo bay.
31 For their rock is not like our Rock, even our enemies concede.
Anverite, wòch pa yo a pa tankou Wòch nou an. Menm lènmi nou yo kapab jije sa.
32 But their vine is from the vine of Sodom and from the fields of Gomorrah. Their grapes are poisonous; their clusters are bitter.
Paske rezen pa yo sòti nan rezen Sodome, ak chan yo nan Gomorrhe. Rezen pa yo se rezen pwazon. Grap yo anmè.
33 Their wine is the venom of serpents, the deadly poison of cobras.
Diven pa yo se pwazon vipè, pwazon mòtèl koulèv kobra.
34 “Have I not stored up these things, sealed up within My vaults?
Èske M pa mete sa nan depo, byen sele nan trezò Mwen?
35 Vengeance is Mine; I will repay. In due time their foot will slip; for their day of disaster is near, and their doom is coming quickly.”
“‘Vanjans se pou Mwen, avèk revandikasyon, nan lè pye yo va glise, Paske jou malè a yo toupre, E rekonpans yo ap kouri vit sou yo.’
36 For the LORD will vindicate His people and have compassion on His servants when He sees that their strength is gone and no one remains, slave or free.
Paske SENYÈ a va jije pèp Li a. Li va fè mizerikòd sou sèvitè Li yo, lè Li wè fòs yo fin disparèt, ke pèsòn pa rete, ni esklav, ni lib.
37 He will say: “Where are their gods, the rock in which they took refuge,
Li va di: ‘Kote dye yo ye? Wòch kote yo te pran refij la?
38 which ate the fat of their sacrifices and drank the wine of their drink offerings? Let them rise up and help you; let them give you shelter!
Sila ki te manje grès a sakrifis pa yo a, e ki te bwè diven a bwason pa yo a? Kite yo vin bannou sekou! Kite yo fè kote pou nou kache!
39 See now that I am He; there is no God besides Me. I bring death and I give life; I wound and I heal, and there is no one who can deliver from My hand.
Vin wè ke Mwen menm se Li. Nanpwen dye sof ke Mwen. Se Mwen ki mete a lanmò, e se Mwen ki bay lavi. Se Mwen ki te fè blese e se Mwen ki fè gerizon. Nanpwen pèsòn ki kab delivre soti nan men M.
40 For I lift up My hand to heaven and declare: As surely as I live forever,
Anverite, Mwen leve men M vè syèl la E Mwen di: Menm jan ke Mwen viv pou tout tan an,
41 when I sharpen My flashing sword, and My hand grasps it in judgment, I will take vengeance on My adversaries and repay those who hate Me.
si Mwen file nepe briyan Mwen an, se men M ki kenbe lajistis. Mwen va rann vanjans sou advèsè Mwen yo, epi Mwen va rekonpanse sila ki rayi Mwen yo.
42 I will make My arrows drunk with blood, while My sword devours flesh— the blood of the slain and captives, the heads of the enemy leaders.”
M ap fè flèch Mwen yo vin sou ak san, e nepe Mwen va devore chè avèk san a mò yo ak kaptif yo, k ap sòti nan chèf a lènmi yo.’
43 Rejoice, O heavens, with Him, and let all God’s angels worship Him. Rejoice, O nations, with His people; for He will avenge the blood of His children. He will take vengeance on His adversaries and repay those who hate Him; He will cleanse His land and His people.
Rejwi, O nasyon avèk pèp pa Li a, paske L ap fè vanjans san a sèvitè Li yo. Li va rann vanjans sou advèsè Li yo, e fè ekspiyasyon pou peyi Li avèk pèp Li a.”
44 Then Moses came with Joshua son of Nun and recited all the words of this song in the hearing of the people.
Alò, Moïse te vin pale tout pawòl a chan sila nan zòrèy a pèp la, li menm avèk Josué, fis a Nun nan.
45 When Moses had finished reciting all these words to all Israel,
Lè Moïse te fin pale tout pawòl sila yo a tout Israël,
46 he said to them, “Take to heart all these words I testify among you today, so that you may command your children to carefully follow all the words of this law.
li te di yo: “Pran a kè nou tout pawòl avèk sila mwen avèti nou jodi a, ke nou va kòmande fis nou yo pou swiv avèk atansyon, tout pawòl a lalwa sila yo.
47 For they are not idle words to you, because they are your life, and by them you will live long in the land that you are crossing the Jordan to possess.”
Paske se pa yon bagay pa aza ke yo ye pou nou. Anverite, se lavi nou yo ye. Pa pawòl sila yo, nou va pwolonje vi nou nan tè ke nou prèt pou travèse Jourdain an pou posede a.
48 On that same day the LORD said to Moses,
SENYÈ a te pale avèk Moïse nan menm jou sa a. Li te di:
49 “Go up into the Abarim Range to Mount Nebo, in the land of Moab across from Jericho, and view the land of Canaan, which I am giving to the Israelites as their own possession.
“Monte sou mòn sila nan Abarim nan, Mòn Nebo, ki nan peyi Moab, anfas Jéricho, e gade sou peyi a Canaan an ke Mwen ap bay a fis Israël yo kòm posesyon an.
50 And there on the mountain that you climb, you will die and be gathered to your people, just as your brother Aaron died on Mount Hor and was gathered to his people.
Epi mouri sou mòn nan kote ou monte a pou vin ranmase a zansèt ou yo, jan Aaron te fè sou Mòn Hor a, e te vin ranmase pa pèp li a;
51 For at the waters of Meribah-kadesh in the Wilderness of Zin, both of you broke faith with Me among the Israelites by failing to treat Me as holy in their presence.
akoz ou te peche kont Mwen nan mitan fis Israël yo nan dlo a Meriba-Kadès yo, nan dezè Tsin nan; akoz ou pa t trete Mwen tankou sen nan mitan fis Israël yo.
52 Although you shall see from a distance the land that I am giving the Israelites, you shall not enter it.”
Donk, ou va wè peyi a yon distans, men ou p ap ale la, nan peyi ke Mwen ap bay fis Israël yo.”
