Deuteronomy 11
1 Thou shalt love then Jehovah thy God, and keep his charge, and his statutes, and his ordinances, and his commandments continually.
Se pou nou renmen Seyè a, Bondye nou an. Se pou nou toujou kenbe lòd, prensip ak kòmandman li ban nou yo.
2 And know ye this day...; for [I speak] not with your children who have not known, and who have not seen the chastisement of Jehovah your God, his greatness, his powerful hand, and his stretched-out arm,
Se pou nou rekonèt jòdi a tou sa Seyè a te moutre nou. Nou te wè jan li gen pouvwa, jan li gen fòs, jan li gen kouraj. Se nou menm ki te viv tout bagay sa yo, se pa t' pitit nou yo. Yo menm yo pa t' konn anyen, ni yo pa t' wè anyen.
3 and his signs and his acts which he did in the midst of Egypt unto Pharaoh the king of Egypt, and unto all his land;
Seyè a te fè nou wè mirak ak gwo mèvèy li te fè nan mitan peyi Lejip, pou li te fini ak farawon an ansanm ak tout moun nan peyi a.
4 and what he did unto the army of Egypt, unto their horses, and unto their chariots, over which he made the water of the Red sea flow as they pursued after you, and Jehovah destroyed them unto this day;
Nou te wè kisa li te fè lame Lejip la ak tout chwal yo ak tout cha yo, ki jan li te fè dlo lanmè Wouj la kouvri yo, lè yo t'ap rapouswiv nou an. Seyè a te kraze yo nèt.
5 — and what he did unto you in the wilderness, until ye came to this place;
Nou konnen sa li te fè pou nou tout tan nou te nan dezè a jouk nou rive isit la.
6 and what he did unto Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, the son of Reuben, — how the earth opened its mouth, and swallowed them up, with their households, and their tents, and all the living substance that belonged to them, in the midst of all Israel.
Chonje sa li te fè Datan ak Abiram, pitit Eliyab, moun fanmi Woubenn yo. Tè a te fann, li vale yo tou vivan ansanm ak tout fanmi yo, tout tant yo ak tout moun ki te avèk yo, devan je tout pèp Izrayèl la.
7 For your eyes have seen all the great work of Jehovah which he hath done.
Se nou menm ki te wè ak je nou tout gwo mèvèy sa yo Seyè a te fè.
8 Keep then all the commandment which I command you this day, that ye may be strong, and enter in and possess the land, whither ye pass over to possess it;
Se pou nou mache dapre lòd m'ap ban nou jòdi a, pou nou ka vin fò, pou nou ka pran peyi nou pral anvayi a pou nou,
9 and that ye may prolong your days in the land which Jehovah swore unto your fathers to give unto them and unto their seed, a land flowing with milk and honey.
pou nou ka viv lontan nan peyi Seyè a te fè sèman l'ap bay zansèt nou yo pou yo menm ak tout ras yo, nan peyi kote lèt ak siwo myèl ap koule tankou dlo.
10 For the land, whither thou enterest in to possess it, is not as the land of Egypt, from whence ye came out, where thou sowedst thy seed, and wateredst it with thy foot, as a garden of herbs;
Peyi nou pral anvayi pou nou pran pou nou an pa yon peyi ki tankou peyi Lejip kote nou soti a, yon peyi kote se nou menm ki te blije simen grenn nan jaden nou, lèfini pou nou te travay di pou nou wouze yo tankou yo wouze jaden legim.
11 but the land, whereunto ye are passing over to possess it, is a land of mountains and valleys, which drinketh water of the rain of heaven,
Non! Peyi nou pral anvayi pou nou pran pou nou an, se yon peyi ki gen anpil mòn ak anpil fon, yon peyi lapli soti nan syèl wouze tout tan.
12 a land which Jehovah thy God careth for; the eyes of Jehovah thy God are constantly upon it, from the beginning of the year even unto the end of the year.
Se yon peyi Seyè a, Bondye nou an, ap pran swen, yon peyi l'ap veye pou anyen pa rive l' depi premye jou nan lanne a rive dènye jou a.
13 And it shall come to pass, if ye hearken diligently unto my commandments which I command you this day, to love Jehovah your God, and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul,
Nou mèt sèten, si nou mache dapre kòmandman mwen ban nou jòdi a, si nou renmen Seyè a, Bondye nou an, si nou sèvi l' ak tout kè nou ak tout nanm nou,
14 that I will give rain to your land in its season, the early rain and the latter rain; and thou shalt gather in thy corn, and thy new wine, and thine oil;
m'a voye lapli sou tè nou lè n'a bezwen l', m'a bay lapli nan sezon plante ak nan sezon rekòt pou nou ka gen anpil manje, anpil diven ak anpil lwil.
15 and I will give grass in thy field for thy cattle; and thou shalt eat and be full.
M'a fè anpil zèb pouse nan savann nou yo pou bèt nou manje. Konsa, n'a jwenn manje pou nou manje plen vant nou.
16 Take heed to yourselves, that your heart be not deceived, and ye turn aside and serve other gods, and bow down to them,
Fè atansyon pou nou pa pèdi tèt nou, pou nou pa kite chemen ki devan nou an pou n' al sèvi lòt bondye, pou n' al adore yo.
17 and Jehovah's wrath kindle against you, and he shut up the heavens, that there be no rain, and that the ground yield not its produce, and ye perish quickly from off the good land which Jehovah is giving you.
Si nou kite sa rive nou, Seyè a va fache anpil sou nou, li p'ap voye lapli. Si pa gen lapli, tè a p'ap bay sa pou l' te bay la. Nou tout n'ap mouri byen vit nan bon peyi Seyè a ban nou an.
18 And ye shall lay up these my words in your heart and in your soul, and bind them for a sign upon your hand, and they shall be for frontlets between your eyes.
Fè pawòl m'ap di nou la a antre nan tèt nou pou nou pa janm bliye yo! Mare yo sou ponyèt nou ak sou fwon nou pou nou ka toujou chonje yo.
19 And ye shall teach them unto your children, speaking of them when thou sittest in thy house, and when thou goest on the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up;
N'a moutre yo bay timoun nou yo, n'a repete yo nan zòrèy yo, nou te mèt lakay nou, nou te mèt ap mache granchemen, nou te mèt kouche nan kabann nou, nou te mèt kanpe ap travay.
20 and write them upon the posts of thy house, and upon thy gates;
Ekri yo sou chanbrann pòt lakay nou ak sou pòtay lavil nou yo,
21 that your days may be multiplied, and the days of your children, in the land which Jehovah swore unto your fathers to give them, as the days of the heavens [which are] above the earth.
pou nou ka viv lontan, nou menm ansanm ak tout ras nou yo, nan peyi Seyè a te fè sèman l'ap bay zansèt nou yo toutotan va gen yon syèl anwo tè a.
22 For if ye diligently keep all this commandment which I command you [this day] to do it, to love Jehovah your God, to walk in all his ways, and to cleave unto him,
Si nou swiv pwen pa pwen tout kòmandman mwen ban nou lòd pou nou swiv yo, si nou renmen Seyè a, Bondye nou an, si nou mache sou chemen li mete devan nou an, si nou pa janm lage l',
23 then will Jehovah dispossess all these nations from before you, and ye shall take possession of nations greater and mightier than yourselves.
Seyè a va mete tout nasyon sa yo deyò devan nou pou nou ka pran plas yo. N'a pran pou nou peyi yon bann nasyon ki gen plis moun pase nou, ki pi fò pase nou.
24 Every place whereon the sole of your foot shall tread shall be yours; from the wilderness and Lebanon, from the river, the river Euphrates, even unto the hinder sea shall your border be.
Tout kote pye nou va pile, se pou nou la ye. N'a gen dezè a pou lizyè sou anba, peyi Liban an sou anwo. N'a gen gwo larivyè Lefrat la yon bò ak lanmè Mediterane a sou bò solèy kouche.
25 No man shall be able to stand before you: the fear of you and the dread of you will Jehovah your God lay upon all the land that ye shall tread upon, as he hath said unto you.
Pesonn p'ap ka kanpe devan nou pou rete nou sou kous nou. Kote nou pase, Seyè a, Bondye nou an, pral fè moun peyi a pè nou, yo pral kouri pou nou jan li te pwomèt nou li a.
26 See, I set before you this day a blessing and a curse:
Jòdi a, mwen mete benediksyon ak madichon devan nou. Se nou ki pou chwazi.
27 a blessing, if ye obey the commandments of Jehovah your God, which I command you this day;
Se va benediksyon pou nou si nou swiv tout kòmandman Seyè a, Bondye nou an, kòmandman mwen ban nou jòdi a.
28 and a curse, if ye will not obey the commandments of Jehovah your God, but turn aside out of the way which I command you this day, to go after other gods which ye have not known.
Men se va madichon pou nou si nou pa vle mache dapre kòmandman Seyè a, Bondye nou an, si nou kite chemen mwen mande nou pou nou swiv jòdi a pou n' al kouri dèyè lòt bondye nou pa janm konnen.
29 And it shall come to pass, when Jehovah thy God hath brought thee into the land whither thou enterest in to possess it, that thou shalt put the blessing upon mount Gerizim, and the curse upon mount Ebal.
Lè Seyè a, Bondye nou an, va fè nou antre nan peyi nou pral pran pou nou an, n'a mete benediksyon an sou mòn Garizim, n'a mete madichon an sou mòn Ebal.
30 Are they not on the other side of the Jordan, beyond the way toward the going down of the sun, in the land of the Canaanites that dwell on the plain opposite to Gilgal, beside the oaks of Moreh?
Mòn sa yo lòt bò larivyè Jouden, nan direksyon solèy kouche, nan peyi moun Kanaran yo ki rete nan plenn Araba a, anfas Gilga, toupre pye chenn More a.
31 For ye pass over the Jordan to enter in to possess the land which Jehovah your God giveth you, and ye shall take possession of it, and dwell therein.
Nou prèt pou nou janbe lòt bò larivyè Jouden an pou n' al pran pou nou peyi Seyè a, Bondye nou an, ap ban nou an. N'a pran peyi a pou nou, n'a rete ladan l'.
32 And ye shall take heed to do all the statutes and ordinances which I set before you this day.
N'a fè atansyon pou nou kenbe tout lòd ak tout prensip mwen mete devan nou jòdi a.
