Deuteronomy 7
1 When the LORD your God brings you into the land that you are entering to possess, and He drives out before you many nations—the Hittites, Girgashites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites, seven nations larger and stronger than you—
Seyè a, Bondye nou an, pral fè nou antre nan peyi nou pral pran pou nou an. Li pral fè sèt nasyon ki gen plis moun pase nou, ki pi fò pase nou, kouri met deyò devan nou, ki vle di moun Et yo, moun Gigach yo, moun Amori yo, moun Kanaran yo, moun Perèz yo, moun Evi yo ak moun Jebis yo.
2 and when the LORD your God has delivered them over to you to defeat them, then you must devote them to complete destruction. Make no treaty with them and show them no mercy.
Seyè a, Bondye nou an, pral lage yo nan men nou, nou pral bat yo. Lè sa a, se pou nou detwi yo nèt tankou yon ofrann pou Bondye nou an. Piga nou pase ankenn kontra ak yo. Piga nou gen pitye pou yo.
3 Do not intermarry with them. Do not give your daughters to their sons or take their daughters for your sons,
Piga nou marye ak moun sa yo. Pa kite pitit fi nou marye ak pitit gason yo, ni pa kite pitit gason nou marye ak pitit fi yo.
4 because they will turn your sons away from following Me to serve other gods. Then the anger of the LORD will burn against you, and He will swiftly destroy you.
Paske y'a pran tèt pitit gason nou yo, y'a fè yo vire do ban mwen pou y' al sèvi lòt bondye. Si nou fè sa, Bondye va fache sou nou, l'a disparèt nou la pou la.
5 Instead, this is what you are to do to them: tear down their altars, smash their sacred pillars, cut down their Asherah poles, and burn their idols in the fire.
Men sa pou n' fè yo: Demoli tout lòtèl yo, kraze tout estati yo, rache tout poto Achera yo, boule tout zidòl yo.
6 For you are a people holy to the LORD your God. The LORD your God has chosen you to be a people for His prized possession out of all peoples on the face of the earth.
N'a fè sa paske se yon pèp k'ap viv apa pou Seyè a, Bondye nou an, nou ye. Se nou menm Seyè a, Bondye nou an, te chwazi nan tout pèp ki sou latè pou li fè nou tounen yon pèp ki rele l' pa l'.
7 The LORD did not set His affection on you and choose you because you were more numerous than the other peoples, for you were the fewest of all peoples.
Si, nan tout pèp ki sou latè, se nou menm Seyè a te pi pito, si li te chwazi nou, se pa paske nou te gen plis moun nan pèp nou an pase lòt yo. Okontrè, se nou ki te gen pi piti moun.
8 But because the LORD loved you and kept the oath He swore to your fathers, He brought you out with a mighty hand and redeemed you from the house of slavery, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt.
Men, se paske Seyè a te renmen nou, epi li te vle kenbe pwomès li te fè zansèt nou yo. Se poutèt sa li delivre nou avèk fòs ponyèt li. Li fè nou soti kite peyi Lejip kote nou te tounen esklav la. Li wete nou anba pouvwa farawon an.
9 Know therefore that the LORD your God is God, the faithful God who keeps His covenant of loving devotion for a thousand generations of those who love Him and keep His commandments.
Se pou nou rekonèt Seyè a, Bondye nou an, se sèl Bondye ki genyen, sèl Bondye k'ap toujou kenbe pawòl li. Wi, l'ap toujou kenbe kontra li pase a. L'ap toujou renmen moun ki renmen l', moun ki fè tou sa l' mande yo fè, de pitit an pitit, pandan mil jenerasyon.
10 But those who hate Him He repays to their faces with destruction; He will not hesitate to repay to his face the one who hates Him.
Men, li p'ap manke pini moun ki rayi l'. Se moun sa yo menm l'ap touye, pa lòt moun ankò. Wi, li p'ap pran reta pou l' fè yo peye sa yo fè a.
11 So keep the commandments and statutes and ordinances that I am giving you to follow this day.
Se poutèt sa, se pou nou swiv tout kòmandman, tout lòd ak tout prensip mwen mande nou jòdi a pou nou swiv.
12 If you listen to these ordinances and keep them carefully, then the LORD your God will keep His covenant and the loving devotion that He swore to your fathers.
Si nou koute tou sa mwen mande nou la a, si nou kenbe yo nan tèt nou, si nou swiv yo pwen pa pwen, Seyè a, Bondye nou an, va toujou kenbe kontra li te pase ak zansèt nou yo, l'ap toujou renmen nou jan li te fè sèman bay zansèt nou yo.
13 He will love you and bless you and multiply you. He will bless the fruit of your womb and the produce of your land—your grain, new wine, and oil, the young of your herds and the lambs of your flocks—in the land that He swore to your fathers to give you.
L'a renmen nou, l'a beni nou, l'a fè nou peple. L'a ban nou anpil pitit. L'a voye benediksyon sou jaden nou, n'a gen anpil manje, anpil diven ak anpil lwil. Bèf nou yo va bay anpil pòte, mouton nou yo va fè anpil pitit. L'a fè tou sa pou nou nan peyi li te pwomèt zansèt nou yo l'ap ban nou an.
14 You will be blessed above all peoples; among you there will be no barren man or woman or livestock.
Bondye ap beni nou plis pase tout lòt pèp yo. p'ap gen yon moun nan mitan nou, fanm kou gason, ki p'ap ka fè pitit. Konsa tou, p'ap gen yonn nan bèt nou yo, ni mal ni fenmèl, ki p'ap ka fè pitit.
15 And the LORD will remove from you all sickness. He will not lay upon you any of the terrible diseases you knew in Egypt, but He will inflict them on all who hate you.
Seyè a p'ap kite ankenn maladi tonbe sou nou. Li p'ap janm voye sou nou move epidemi nou te wè ki te tonbe sou moun peyi Lejip yo. L'ap kite sa pou tout moun ki pa vle wè nou yo.
16 You must destroy all the peoples the LORD your God will deliver to you. Do not look on them with pity. Do not worship their gods, for that will be a snare to you.
Se pou nou disparèt tout pèp Seyè a, Bondye nou an, va lage nan men nou. Se pou nou san pitye pou yo. Piga nou fè sèvis pou bondye moun sa yo, paske sa ka fini mal pou nou.
17 You may say in your heart, “These nations are greater than we are; how can we drive them out?”
Si nou ta rive di nan kè nou: Nasyon sa yo gen plis moun pase nou. Ki jan pou n' fè pou n' pran peyi a nan men yo? wete lide konsa nan tèt nou.
18 But do not be afraid of them. Be sure to remember what the LORD your God did to Pharaoh and all Egypt:
Nou pa bezwen pè yo. Chonje tou sa Seyè a, Bondye nou an, te fè farawon an ak tout peyi Lejip li a.
19 the great trials that you saw, the signs and wonders, and the mighty hand and outstretched arm by which the LORD your God brought you out. The LORD your God will do the same to all the peoples you now fear.
Chonje tout gwo malè nou te wè ak je nou, tout mèvèy ak tout mirak Seyè a te fè ak fòs ponyèt li ak gwo kouraj li pou l' fè nou soti kite peyi sa a. Seyè a pral fè menm jan an tou ak tout pèp nou pè yo.
20 Moreover, the LORD your God will send the hornet against them until even the survivors hiding from you have perished.
Sa ki pi rèd ankò, l'ap voye yon bann tanwouan pou touye tou sa ki va chape anba men nou pou y' al kache pou nou.
21 Do not be terrified by them, for the LORD your God, who is among you, is a great and awesome God.
Nou pa bezwen pè moun sa yo menm. Seyè a, Bondye nou an, kanpe la avèk nou. Se yon Bondye ki gen anpil pouvwa, yon Bondye ki fè tout moun respekte l'.
22 The LORD your God will drive out these nations before you little by little. You will not be enabled to eliminate them all at once, or the wild animals would multiply around you.
Seyè a, Bondye nou an, va mete nasyon sa yo deyò devan nou, yonn apre lòt. Nou p'ap ka detwi yo tout yon sèl kou. Paske si nou fè l', bèt nan bwa ka anvayi peyi a, epi sa pa ta bon pou nou.
23 But the LORD your God will give them over to you and throw them into great confusion, until they are destroyed.
Men, Seyè a, Bondye nou an, pral lage yo nan men nou. L'ap fè yo pati kouri devan nou jouk n'a fin disparèt yo nèt.
24 He will hand their kings over to you, and you will wipe out their names from under heaven. No one will be able to stand against you; you will annihilate them.
Seyè a pral mete wa yo anba pye nou. Nou pral touye yo, nou pral fè tout moun sou latè bliye non yo. Pesonn p'ap ka rete nou sou kous nou. Nou pral detwi yo tout.
25 You must burn up the images of their gods; do not covet the silver and gold that is on them or take it for yourselves, or you will be ensnared by it; for it is detestable to the LORD your God.
N'a boule tout zidòl yo te taye nan bwa. Pa kite lò ak ajan ki kouvri zidòl yo mete move lanvi nan ke nou. Pa pran yo pou nou. Sa ka yon pèlen pou nou. Nou konnen bagay konsa se bagay Seyè a, Bondye nou an, pa vle wè menm.
26 And you must not bring any detestable thing into your house, or you, like it, will be set apart for destruction. You are to utterly detest and abhor it, because it is set apart for destruction.
Konsa tou, pa pran ankenn nan zidòl sa yo pou nou mete anndan lakay nou, pou menm madichon ki sou yo a pa tonbe sou nou tou. Se pou nou konsidere yo pou move bagay, pou vye bagay sal. Se bagay ki madichonnen, bagay ki fèt pou disparèt nèt.
