Deuteronomy 1
1 These [are] the words which Moses spoke to all Israel on this side Jordan in the desert towards the west near the Red Sea, between Pharan Tophol, and Lobon, and Aulon, and the gold works.
Men pawòl Moyiz te di tout pèp Izrayèl la lè yo te lòt bò larivyè Jouden an, nan dezè a, nan plenn Araba ki anfas Souf: Yo te gen dezè Paran an sou yon bò ak lavil Tofèl, Liban, Azewòt ak Dizaab sou lòt bò a.
2 [It is] a journey of eleven days from Choreb to mount Seir as far as Cades Barne.
Pou mache soti mòn Sinayi rive Kadès-Banea, lè ou swiv wout ki pase nan mòn Seyi a, sa pran onz jou.
3 And it came to pass in the forties year, in the eleventh month, on the first [day] of the month, Moses spoke to all the children of Israel, according to all things which the Lord commanded him for them:
Se premye jou nan onzyèm mwa karantyèm lanne depi yo te soti kite peyi Lejip la Moyiz te fè pale sa a ak pèp Izrayèl la, jan Seyè a te mande l' la.
4 after he had struck Seon king of the Amorites who lived in Esebon, and Og the king of Basan who lived in Astaroth and in Edrain;
Lè sa a, Seyè a te fin bat Siyon, wa peyi Amori a, ki te rete Esbon, ak Og, wa peyi Bazan an, ki te rete Astawòt nan zòn Edreyi.
5 beyond Jordan in the land of Moab, Moses began to declare this law, saying,
Se antan pèp la te lòt bò larivyè Jouden, nan peyi Moab la, Moyiz tanmen esplike yo tou sa Seyè a te di. Li di yo konsa:
6 The Lord your God spoke to us in Choreb, saying, Let it suffice you to have lived [so long] in this mountain.
-Lè nou te sou mòn Orèb la, nou chonje Seyè a, Bondye nou an, te pale ak nou. Li te di nou: Koulye a, nou rete kont nou sou mòn sa a.
7 Turn you and depart and enter into the mountain of the Amorites, and [go] to all that dwell near about Araba, to the mountain and the plain and to the south, and the land of the Chananites near the sea, and Antilibanus, as far as the great river, the river Euphrates.
Ranmase tout zafè nou pati. Ale nan mòn peyi Amori yo ak nan tout lòt peyi ki toupre l' yo, nan plenn Araba a, nan mòn yo, nan fon yo, nan Negèv la bò sid ak bò gwo lanmè Mediterane a. Ale nan peyi Kanaran an ak nan peyi Liban an jouk nou rive bò gwo larivyè Lefrat la.
8 Behold, [God] has delivered the land before you; go in and inherit the land, which I sware to your fathers, Abraam, and Isaac, and Jacob, to give it to them and to their seed after them.
Nou wè! Men m'ap ban nou tout peyi sa yo. Al pran posesyon peyi mwen menm Seyè a, mwen te pwomèt m'ap bay zansèt nou yo, Abraram, Izarak ak Jakòb, pou yo ak pou tout pitit yo ak pitit pitit yo apre yo.
9 And I spoke to you at that time, saying, I shall not be able by myself to bear you.
Menm lè sa a, mwen te di nou: Mwen pa kapab reskonsab nou tout pou kont mwen, chay la twòp pou mwen.
10 The Lord your God has multiplied you, and, behold, you are today as the stars of heaven for multitude.
Seyè a, Bondye nou an, ban nou anpil pitit, kifè koulye a nou vin anpil, tankou zetwal nan syèl la.
11 The Lord God of your fathers add to you a thousand-fold more than you are, and bless you as he has spoken to you.
Se pou Seyè a, Bondye zansèt nou yo, ban nou mil fwa plis pitit pase sa nou gen koulye a. Se pou l' beni nou jan li te pwomèt nou an.
12 How shall I alone be able to bear your labour, and your burden, and your gainsayings?
Men, ki jan pou m' fè pote tout chay sa a pou kont mwen, pou m' jwenn solisyon pou tout pwoblèm nou, pou m' regle tout kont nou gen yonn ak lòt?
13 Take to yourselves wise and understanding and prudent men for your tribes, and I will set your leaders over you.
Se poutèt sa, nan chak branch fanmi nou yo, chwazi kèk nèg ki gen lespri, ki gen bon konprann, ki konn lavi, m'a mete yo chèf pou dirije nou.
14 And you answered me and said, The thing which you have told us [is] good to do.
Lè sa a, nou te reponn mwen, nou te di m' konsa: Sa ou mande nou fè la a bon wi!
15 So I took of you wise and understanding and prudent men, and I set them to rule over you as rulers of thousands, and rulers of hundreds, and rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens, and officers to your judges.
Se konsa mwen pran nan chak branch fanmi nou yo moun ki gen lespri, moun ki konn lavi, mwen mete yo chèf pou dirije nou. Genyen mwen mete chèf sou mil gason, dòt sou san gason, dòt sou senkant gason, dòt ankò sou dis gason. Mwen te chwazi lòt chèf tou pou chak branch fanmi.
16 And I charged your judges at that time, saying, Hear [causes] between your brethren, and judge rightly between a man and [his] brother, and the stranger that is with him.
Lè sa a, men sa mwen te mande chèf nou yo pou yo fè: Chache konnen lè gen kont nan mitan pèp la. N'a regle tout kont yon moun ka gen ak frè parèy li osinon ak moun lòt nasyon k'ap viv nan mitan nou. N'a fè sa san patipri.
17 You shall not have respect to persons in judgement, you shall judge small and great equally; you shall not shrink from before the person of a man, for the judgement is God's; and whatever matter shall be too hard for you, you shall bring it to me, and I will hear it.
Nou p'ap nan achte figi lè n'ap jije yon bagay. Se pou nou jije tout moun menm jan, kit se yon ti malere, kit se yon grannèg. Nou pa bezwen pè pesonn paske n'ap jije dapre prensip Bondye bay. Lè se yon ka ki twò difisil pou nou, n'a pote l' vin devan mwen, m'a jije l' mwen menm.
18 And I charged upon you at that time all the commands which you shall perform.
Se konsa, menm lè sa a, mwen te ban nou lòd, mwen te di nou sa pou n' fè ak sa pou n' pa fè.
19 And we departed from Choreb, and went through all that great wilderness and terrible, which you saw, by the way of the mountain of the Amorite, as the Lord our God charged us, and we came as far as Cades Barne.
Apre sa, nou leve, nou kite mòn Orèb la. Jan Seyè a, Bondye nou an, te ban nou lòd la, nou mache nan tout gwo dezè ki gen anpil danje ladan l' lan, dezè nou te wè a, nou pran chemen pou n' al nan mòn peyi Amori yo, epi nou rive Kadès Banea.
20 And I said to you, You have come as far as the mountain of the Amorite, which the Lord our God gives to you:
Lè sa a, mwen di nou: Men nou rive nan mòn peyi Amori yo, peyi Seyè a, Bondye nou an, ap ban nou an.
21 behold, the Lord your God has delivered to us the land before you: go up and inherit it as the Lord God of your fathers said to you; fear not, neither be afraid.
Gade, men peyi Seyè a, Bondye nou an, ap ban nou an. Ale non, pran peyi a pou nou, jan Seyè a, Bondye zansèt nou yo, te di l' la. Nou pa bezwen pè, kè nou pa pou janm kase.
22 And you all came to me, and said, Let us send men before us, and let them go up to the land for us; and let them bring back to us a report of the way by which we shall go up, and of the cities into which we shall enter.
Lè sa a nou tout, nou vin jwenn mwen, nou di m' konsa: Ann voye kèk nèg pami nou devan pou y' al wè ki jan peyi a ye. Y'a tounen vin esplike nou ki wout pou nou swiv ak nan ki lavil nou ka antre.
23 And the saying pleased me: and I took of you twelve men, one man of a tribe.
Mwen te wè sa nou di m' lan se te bon koze. Se konsa mwen chwazi douz nèg, yonn nan chak branch fanmi.
24 And they turned and went up to the mountain, and they came as far as the valley of the cluster, and surveyed it.
Yo pati, yo pran chemen mòn lan jouk yo rive nan Fon Echkòl: yo vizite tout zòn lan nèt.
25 And they took in their hands of the fruit of the land, and brought it to you, and said, The land is good which the Lord our God gives us.
Yo pran kèk fwi peyi a donnen, yo pote ban nou. Epi yo di nou peyi Seyè a ap ban nou an se yon bon venn tè.
26 Yet you would not go up, but rebelled against the words of the Lord our God.
Men, nou pa t' vle al ladan l'. Se konsa nou te derefize obeyi lòd Seyè a, Bondye nou an, te ban nou.
27 And you murmured in your tents, and said, Because the Lord hated us, he has brought us out of the land of Egypt to deliver us into the hands of the Amorites, to destroy us.
Nou antre lakay nou, nou pran plenyen. Epi nou di se vle Seyè a pa vle wè nou! Se poutèt sa li fè nou soti kite peyi Lejip pou l' lage nou nan men moun peyi Amori yo pou yo ka fini ak nou.
28 Whither do we go up? and your brethren drew away your heart, saying, [It is a] great nation and populous, and mightier than we; and [there are] cities great and walled up to heaven: moreover we saw there the sons of the giants.
Kote nou prale koulye a? Moun nou te voye yo dekouraje nou. Yo di nou moun ki nan peyi sa a pi fò pase nou, yo pi bèl wotè pase nou. Lavil yo gran anpil ak gwo ranpa byen wo ki rive jouk nan syèl la. Nou te menm wè kèk moun ras Anak yo la tou.
29 And I said to you, Fear not, neither be you afraid of them;
Men, mwen di nou: Kè nou pa bezwen kase, nou pa bezwen pè moun sa yo.
30 the Lord your God who goes before your face, he shall fight against them together with you effectually, according to all that he wrought for you in the land of Egypt;
Seyè a, Bondye nou an, ap mache alatèt nou. Li pral goumen pou nou menm jan nou te wè l' fè l' la nan peyi Lejip
31 and in this wilderness which you saw, by the way of the mountain of the Amorite; how the Lord your God will bear you as a nursling, as if any man should nurse his child, through all the way which you have gone until you came to this place.
ak nan dezè a. Nou wè ki jan sou tout wout la li pa janm lage nou, tankou yon papa ki pa janm lage pitit li, jouk nou rive bò isit la.
32 And in this matter you believed not the Lord our God,
Men, atout mwen te di nou sa, nou pa t' vle mete konfyans nou nan Seyè a, Bondye nou an,
33 who goes before you in the way to choose you a place, guiding you in fire by night, showing you the way by which you go, and a cloud by day.
li menm ki te pran devan nou sou tout wout la pou l' te ka jwenn kote pou nou moute kan nou. Lannwit, li te mache devan nou nan yon poto dife. Lajounen, nan yon gwo nwaj li te moutre nou chemen pou nou pran.
34 And the Lord heard the voice of your words, and being greatly provoked he sware, saying,
Lè Seyè a tande jan nou t'ap plenyen, li te fache anpil, li fè sèman, li di:
35 Not one of these men shall see this good land, which I sware to their fathers,
Pa gen yonn nan tout move sije sa yo k'ap viv koulye a k'ap antre nan bon peyi mwen te pwomèt m'ap bay zansèt nou yo,
36 except Chaleb the son of Jephonne, he shall see it; and to him I will give the land on which he went up, and to his sons, because he attended to the things of the Lord.
an wetan Kalèb, pitit gason Jefoune a, ki va antre nan peyi sa a. M'a ba li peyi li te al espyonnen an, pou li ak pou pitit li yo, paske li te obeyi m' san gad dèyè.
37 And the Lord was angry with me for your sake, saying, Neither shall you by any means enter therein.
Nou lakòz Seyè a te fache ata avè m', epi li di m': Ou menm tou Moyiz, ou p'ap antre nan peyi a.
38 Joshua the son of Naue, who stands by you, he shall enter in there; do you strengthen him, for he shall cause Israel to inherit it.
Se Jozye, pitit gason Noun lan, k'ap sèvi avè ou la, ki va antre nan plas ou. Ankouraje l' tande, paske se li menm ki pou fè pèp Izrayèl la antre al pran peyi a.
39 And every young child who this day knows not good or evil, —they shall enter therein, and to them I will give it, and they shall inherit it.
Men, se pitit nou yo, sa nou di ki tapral tonbe anba men lènmi nou yo, timoun nou yo ki koulye a poko konnen sa ki byen ak sa ki mal, se yo menm ki pral antre nan peyi a. Se yo menm mwen pral bay peyi a, se yo menm ki pral rete ladan l'.
40 And you turned and marched into the wilderness, in the way by the Red Sea.
Men nou menm, tounen tounen nou nan dezè a! Pran chemen Lanmè Wouj la ankò!
41 And you answered and said, We have sinned before the Lord our God; we will go up and fight according to all that the Lord our God has commanded us: and having taken every one his weapons of war, and being gathered together, you went up to the mountain.
Lè sa a nou reponn mwen: Nou rekonèt nou peche kont Seyè a. Nou prale, epi n'a goumen jan Seyè a, Bondye nou an, te ban nou lòd la. Epi nou leve nou pran zam nou. Nou te kwè sa tapral fasil pou nou pran mòn yo.
42 And the Lord said to me, Tell them, You shall not go up, neither shall you fight, for I am not with you; thus shall you not be destroyed before your enemies.
Men, Seyè a di m' avèti nou: Piga n' al atake, piga n' al fè lènmi nou yo bat nou, paske li p'ap kanpe avèk nou.
43 And I spoke to you, and you did not listen to me; and you transgressed the commandment of the Lord; and you forced your way and went up into the mountain.
Mwen te pale nou, men nou pa t' koute m', nou derefize swiv lòd Seyè a te ban nou. Nou te konprann nou te fò kont kò nou pou n' te al pran mòn lan.
44 And the Amorite who lived in that mountain came out to meet you, and pursued you as bees do, and wounded you from Seir to Herma.
Lè sa a, moun peyi Amori yo ki te rete nan mòn yo soti vin kontre ak nou. Tankou yon desen myèl, yo kouri dèyè nou, yo bat nou byen bat nan tout peyi Seyi a rive jouk Oma.
45 And you sat down and wept before the Lord our God, and the Lord listened not to your voice, neither did he take heed to you.
Lè nou tounen, nou kriye nan pye Seyè a, men Seyè a pa t' koute sa nou t'ap di l', li pa t' pran ka nou.
46 And you lived in Cades many days, as many days as you lived [there].
Se poutèt sa nou te blije pase tout tan sa a nan zòn Kadès la.
