Deuteronomy 32
1 Attend, O heaven, and I will speak; and let the earth hear the words out of my mouth.
Ou menm syèl, tande sa mwen pral di la a! Koute byen, ou menm latè, pawòl ki pral soti nan bouch mwen!
2 Let my speech be looked for as the rain, and my words come down as dew, as the shower upon the herbage, and as snow upon the grass.
Sa m'ap di a pral tonbe tankou grenn lapli! Pawòl mwen yo pral tankou lawouze k'ap tonbe sou latè. Pawòl nan bouch mwen pral tankou bèl lapli k'ap tonbe sou jenn plant yo, tankou yon ti lapli nò k'ap tonbe sou zèb gazon.
3 For I have called on the name of the Lord: assign you greatness to our God.
Mwen pral fè lwanj Seyè a! Rekonèt jan Bondye nou an gen pouvwa!
4 [As for God], his works [are] true, and all his ways [are] judgement: God [is] faithful, and there is no unrighteousness [in him]; just and holy [is] the Lord.
Se Seyè a k'ap pwoteje nou. Tou sa li fè bon nèt. Li pa nan patipri nan anyen l'ap fè. Bondye nou an ap toujou kenbe pawòl li Li pa nan bay manti. Li fè sa ki dwat, li pa fè ankenn lenjistis.
5 They have sinned, not [pleasing] him; spotted children, a froward and perverse generation.
Se yo menm, pèp li a, ki pa kenbe pawòl yo, bagay yon bon pitit Bondye pa ta janm fè. Se yon bann mechan k'ap mache twonpe moun.
6 Do you thus recompense the Lord? [is the] people thus foolish and unwise? did not he himself your father purchase you, and make you, and form you?
Se konsa nou di Seyè a mèsi pou sa l' fè pou nou, bann moun fou san konprann? Se pa li ki papa nou? Se pa li ki kreye nou? Se pa li ki fè nou sa nou ye a? Se pa li ki ban nou lavi?
7 Remember the days of old, consider the years for past ages: ask your father, and he shall relate to you, your elders, and they shall tell you.
Chonje tan lontan! Repase tèt nou sou tan lontan! Mande papa nou pou li di nou sak te pase. Mande granmoun lontan yo rakonte nou istwa tan lontan.
8 When the Most High divided the nations, when he separated the sons of Adam, he set the bounds of the nations according to the number of the angels of God.
Lè Bondye ki anwo nan syèl la t'ap bay chak nasyon pòsyon ki pou yo, lè li t'ap bay kote pou chak moun rete sou latè, li fikse fwontyè tout peyi dapre kantite moun li te mete sou latè.
9 And his people Jacob became the portion of the Lord, Israel was the line of his inheritance.
Men, li chwazi pitit Jakòb yo pou li. Se yo ki pèp pa l' la menm.
10 He maintained him in the wilderness, in burning thirst and a dry land: he led him about and instructed him, and kept him as the apple of an eye.
Li te jwenn yo nan dezè a, kote moun pa rete, kote van an ap soufle san rete. Li pran yo nan bra l', li pran swen yo, li pwoteje yo tankou de grenn je nan tèt li.
11 As an eagle would watch over his brood, and yearns over his young, receives them having spread his wings, and takes them up on his back:
Tankou malfini k'ap moutre pitit li vole, Seyè a ap plane anwo pitit li yo. Li louvri zèl li yo pou li ka pran swen yo, li pote yo sou do l' pou yo pa tonbe.
12 the Lord alone led them, there was no strange god with them.
Seyè a sèl chèf yo. Li pa bezwen lòt bondye pou ede l'.
13 He brought them up on the strength of the land; he fed them with the fruits of the fields; they sucked honey out of the rock, and oil out of the solid rock.
Li fè yo mache an grannèg sou tèt mòn peyi a. Li fè yo manje grenn bwa nan savann. Yo jwenn siwo myèl nan tou wòch pou yo bwè. Pye oliv yo donnen nan wòch karyann.
14 Butter of cows, and milk of sheep, with the fat of lambs and rams, of calves and kids, with fat of kidneys of wheat; and he drank wine, the blood of the grape.
Bèf yo ak mouton yo ap bay lèt an kantite. Y'a manje vyann mouton gra, vyann belye Bazan ak vyann bouk kabrit. Y'a manje pi bon kalite farin frans, y'a bwè ji rezen pou diven.
15 So Jacob ate and was filled, and the beloved one kicked; he grew fat, he became thick and broad: then he forsook the God that made him, and departed from God his Saviour.
Pitit Jakòb yo manje plen vant yo! Yo vin gra, y'ap pete nan po yo, yo konmanse voye pye. Yo voye Bondye ki te fè yo a jete. Yo vire do bay Bondye ki t'ap pwoteje yo a, Bondye ki te delivre yo a.
16 They provoked me to anger with strange gods; with their abominations they bitterly angered me.
Y' al adore bondye lòt nasyon. Yo fè Seyè a fè jalouzi, y' al fè sa ki mal, yo fè l' fè kòlè.
17 They sacrificed to devils, and not to God; to gods whom they knew not: new and fresh [gods] came in, whom their fathers knew not.
Y' al ofri bèt pou yo touye bay zidòl ki pa bondye tout bon, yon kalite bondye yo pa t' janm konnen anvan, lòt bondye ki fèk parèt, bondye zansèt yo pa t' janm gen krentif.
18 You have forsaken God that begot you, and forgotten God who feeds you.
Yo bliye Bondye ki te pwoteje yo, Bondye ki papa yo a. Yo pa chonje Bondye ki te fè yo, Bondye ki te ba yo lavi a.
19 And the Lord saw, and was jealous; and was provoked by the anger of his sons and daughters,
Lè Seyè a wè sa, li fache. Li fè kòlè sou pitit gason l' yo ak sou pitit fi l' yo!
20 and said, I will turn away my face from them, and will show what shall happen to them in the last days; for it is a perverse generation, sons in whom is no faith.
Li di: mwen pral vire do m' ba yo. M'a wè sa ki pral rive yo. Se yon bann moun ki plen vis, yon bann pitit ou pa ka fin fye nèt.
21 They have provoked me to jealousy with [that which is] not God, they have exasperated me with their idols; and I will provoke them to jealousy with them that are no nation, I will anger them with a nation void of understanding.
Yo fè m' fè jalouzi, y' al adore yon bondye ki pa bondye tout bon. Yo fè m' fè kòlè, y' al fè sèvis pou zidòl ki pa vo anyen. Enben, mwen menm, mwen pral fè yo fè jalouzi pou yon pèp ki pa menm yon pèp. M'ap fè yo fè kòlè pou yon nasyon moun ki san konprann.
22 For a fire has been kindled out of my wrath, it shall burn to hell below; it shall devour the land, and the fruits of it; it shall set on fire the foundations of the mountains. (Sheol h7585)
Lè m' an kòlè, se tankou yon gwo dife k'ap flanbe. Mwen boule tou sa ki sou latè. Mwen desann byen fon kote mò yo ye anba tè a. M'ap mete dife jouk nan rasin mòn yo. (Sheol h7585)
23 I will gather evils upon them, and will fight with my weapons against them.
M'ap fè yon seri malè tonbe sou yo. M'ap voye tout flèch mwen yo sou yo.
24 [They shall be] consumed with hunger and the devouring of birds, and there shall be irremediable destruction: I will send forth against them the teeth of wild beasts, with the rage of [serpents] creeping on the ground.
Y'a mouri grangou. Lafyèb va fini ak yo. Move maladi va minen yo. M'a voye bèt nan bwa atake yo. M'a voye sèpan ak pwazon venen pou touye yo.
25 Without, the sword shall bereave them of children, and terror [shall issue] out of the secret chambers; the young man shall perish with the virgin, the suckling with him who has grown old.
Nan lari, y'a touye pitit pitit gason yo nan goumen. Moun ki anndan kay va sitèlman pè, kè yo va rete. Jenn gason ak jenn fi va mouri menm jan an tou. Depi timoun nan tete jouk granmoun cheve blan, pesonn p'ap chape.
26 I said, I will scatter them, and I will cause their memorial to cease from amongst men.
Mwen te di mwen tapral detwi yo nèt, pou pesonn pa janm chonje yo ankò sou latè.
27 Were it not for the wrath of the enemy, lest they should live long, lest their enemies should combine against them; lest they should say, Our own high arm, and not the Lord, has done all these things.
Men, mwen pa ta vle kite lènmi yo pran pye sou yo. Mwen pa ta renmen pou moun ki pa vle wè m' yo mete nan tèt yo se yo menm ak fòs kouraj yo ki fè sa, pou yo pa di: Seyè a pa gen anyen pou l' wè nan sa.
28 It is a nation that has lost counsel, neither is there understanding in them.
Pèp Izrayèl la, se yon pèp ki pèdi bonnanj yo. Yo pa gen konprann.
29 They had not sense to understand: let them reserve these things against the time to come.
Si yo te gen konprann, yo ta louvri je yo, yo ta wè sa ki pral rive yo.
30 How should one pursue a thousand, and two rout tens of thousands, if God had not sold them, and the Lord delivered them up?
Kouman ou ta vle pou yon sèl grenn lènmi fè mil ladan yo kouri, pou de grenn lènmi fè dimil ladan yo kraze rak? Se sèlman paske Seyè a lage yo, paske moun ki te konn pwoteje yo a vire do ba yo.
31 For their gods are not as our God, but our enemies [are] void of understanding.
Lènmi yo konn byen pwòp bondye k'ap pwoteje yo a pa ka parèt devan Bondye pèp Izrayèl la.
32 For their vine [is] of the vine of Sodom, and their vine-branch of Gomorrha: their grape [is] a grape of gall, their cluster [is] one of bitterness.
Ou ta di se menm ras moun Sodòm ak Gomò yo ye. Yo tankou pye rezen k'ap donnen rezen anmè, rezen ki plen pwazon.
33 Their wine [is] the rage of serpents, and the incurable rage of asps.
Diven yo tankou pwazon nan bouch sèpan, venen nan bouch sèpan aspik k'ap touye moun frèt.
34 Behold! are not these things stored up by me, and sealed amongst my treasures?
Seyè a konnen tou sa lènmi te fè pèp la. L'ap tann lè a rive pou l' pini yo.
35 In the day of vengeance I will recompense, whenever their foot shall be tripped up; for the day of their destruction [is] near to them, and the judgements at hand are close upon you.
Se Seyè a k'ap tire revanj sou yo, se li k'ap fè yo peye sa yo fè a, lè lè a va rive pou yo tonbe. Jou pou yo detwi yo a pa lwen. Sa ki pare pou yo a fin rive.
36 For the Lord shall judge his people, and shall be comforted over his servants; for he saw that they were utterly weakened, and failed in the hostile invasion, and were become feeble:
Seyè a pral pran defans pèp li a, lè l'a wè tout fòs yo fin desann. Li pral gen pitye pou sèvitè l' yo, lè l'a wè pa gen anpil ankò ki rete, ni anndan peyi a, ni deyò.
37 and the Lord said, Where are their gods on whom they trusted?
Lè sa a, Seyè a va mande: -Kote bondye yo a, sa ki te konn pwoteje yo a? bondye yo te konn al jwenn pou pran defans yo a?
38 the fat of whose sacrifices you ate, and you drank the wine of their drink-offerings? let them arise and help you, and be your protectors.
Se pa yo ki te konn manje grès bèt nou te konn ofri yo? Se pa yo ki te konn bwè diven nou te konn vide sou lòtèl yo? Se pou yo vin koulye a, se pou yo vin delivre nou! Se pou yo kouri vin pwoteje nou!
39 Behold, behold that I am [he], and there is no god beside me: I kill, and I will make to live: I will strike, and I will heal; and there is none who shall deliver out of my hands.
Se mwen menm, mwen menm sèl ki Bondye. Pa gen lòt bondye pase mwen menm. Mwen bay lavi, mwen pran lavi jan m' vle. Lè mwen bay maladi, se mwen ki pou bay gerizon. Pa gen moun ki ka delivre pesonn anba men mwen.
40 For I will lift up my hand to heaven, and swear by my right hand, and I will say, I live for ever.
Men m'ap leve men m' anlè, mwen fè sèman: Menm jan nou wè m' vivan pou tout tan an,
41 For I will sharpen my sword like lightning, and my hand shall take hold of judgement; and I will render judgement to my enemies, and will recompense them that hate me.
lè m'a file bèl nepe klere mwen an, lè m'a soti pou m' rann jistis, m'a tire revanj mwen sou lènmi m' yo, m'a bay moun ki pa vle wè m' yo sa yo merite.
42 I will make my weapons drunk with blood, and my sword shall devour flesh, [it shall glut itself] with the blood of the wounded, and from the captivity of the heads of [their] enemies that rule over them.
Flèch mwen yo pral tranpe nan san, nan san moun blese yo ak san prizonye yo. Nepe mwen ap koupe moun san gad dèyè, l'ap koupe tèt tout chèf lènmi yo.
43 Rejoice, you heavens, with him, and let all the angels of God worship him; rejoice you Gentiles, with his people, and let all the sons of God strengthen themselves in him; for he will avenge the blood of his sons, and he will render vengeance, and recompense justice to his enemies, and will reward them that hate him; and the Lord shall purge the land of his people.
Nou menm nasyon ki sou latè, fè kè nou kontan ak pèp Bondye chwazi a! Paske Seyè a pral tire revanj pou lanmò sèvitè l' yo. L'a bay moun ki pa vle wè l' yo sa yo merite. L'a wete tout vye bagay ki t'ap fèt nan peyi pèp li a.
44 And Moses wrote this song in that day, and taught it to the children of Israel; and Moses went in and spoke all the words of this law in the ears of the people, he and Joshua the [son] of Naue.
Moyiz ak Jozye, pitit gason Noun lan, te repete tout pawòl chante sa a byen fò pou tout pèp la te tande.
45 And Moses finished speaking to all Israel.
Lè Moyiz fin bay pèp Izrayèl la tout pawòl sa yo,
46 And he said to them, Take heed with your heart to all these words, which I testify to you this day, which you shall command your sons, to observe and do all the words of this law.
li di yo konsa: -Se pou nou koute tout kòmandman m'ap ban nou jòdi a. Y'a sèvi m' temwen mwen te fè nou konnen yo. Nou menm, n'a pase pitit nou yo lòd pou yo kenbe yo, pou yo swiv tout pawòl ki nan lalwa Bondye a.
47 For this [is] no vain word to you; for it [is] your life, and because of this word you shall live long upon the land, into which you go over Jordan to inherit it.
Paske, se pa pawòl nou ka pran konsa konsa. Se lavi yo ye pou nou. Se yo menm k'ap fè nou viv lontan nan peyi nou pral pran pou nou an, lè n'a fin janbe lòt bò larivyè Jouden an.
48 And the Lord spoke to Moses in this day, saying,
Menm jou sa a, Seyè a pale ak Moyiz, li di l' konsa:
49 Go up to the mount Abarim, this mountain Nabau which is in the land of Moab over against Jericho, and behold the land of Chanaan, which I give to the sons of Israel:
-Ale nan chenn mòn Abarim yo, ki nan peyi Moab anfas lavil Jeriko a. Moute sou mòn Nebo. Antan ou la, w'a voye je ou, w'a gade, w'a wè peyi Kanaran an, peyi mwen pral bay moun pèp Izrayèl yo pou yo rete a.
50 and die in the mount whither you go up, and be added to your people; as Aaron your brother died in mount Or, and was added to his people.
Ou pral mouri sou mòn kote ou pral moute a, ou pral jwenn moun pa ou yo ki deja mouri, menm jan sa te rive Arawon, frè ou la, ki te mouri sou mòn Or la, epi ki te al jwenn moun pa l' yo ki deja mouri.
51 Because you disobeyed my word amongst the children of Israel, at the waters of strife of Cades in the wilderness of Sin; because you sanctified me not amongst the sons of Israel.
Nou tou de, nou pa t' fè sa m' te di nou fè devan pèp Izrayèl la, lè yo te bò sous dlo Meriba yo, bò lavil Kadès, nan dezè Zin lan. Nou te manke m' respe devan tout pèp Izrayèl la.
52 You shall see the land before [you], but you shall not enter into it.
Se poutèt sa, w'a rete byen lwen, w'a wè peyi mwen pral bay moun pèp Izrayèl yo anba nan pye ou. Men ou menm, ou p'ap mete pye ou ladan l'.
