Deuteronomy 11
1 Thou shalt love then Jehovah thy God, and keep his charge, and his statutes, and his ordinances, and his commandments continually.
“Pou sa, nou va renmen SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, e nou va toujou kenbe lòd Li, lwa Li yo, ak règleman Li yo, avèk kòmandman Li 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,
Byen konnen nan jou sa a, ke Mwen p ap pale avèk fis nou yo ki potko konnen e ki potko wè chatiman SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, —grandè Li, men pwisans Li ak bra lonje Li a,
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;
epi sign Li yo avèk zèv Li yo ke Li te fè nan mitan Égypte a Farawon an, wa Égypte la, e a tout peyi li 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;
ak sa Li te fè a lame Égypte la, a cheval li yo avèk cha li yo, lè Li te fè dlo Lamè Wouj la kouvri yo pandan yo t ap kouri dèyè nou, e SENYÈ a te detwi yo nèt, jiska jou sa a;
5 — and what he did unto you in the wilderness, until ye came to this place;
epi sa Li te fè a nou menm nan dezè a jiskaske nou te rive nan kote sa a;
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.
epi sa Li te fè aDathan avèk Abiram, fis a Éliab yo, fis a Ruben, lè tè a te ouvri bouch li, pou te vale yo, tout moun lakay yo, tant yo, ak tout bagay vivan nan tout Israël ki te swiv yo——
7 For your eyes have seen all the great work of Jehovah which he hath done.
konsa, se pwòp zye pa nou ki te wè tout gran zèv ke SENYÈ a te fè yo.
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;
“Pou sa, nou va kenbe tout kòmandman ke mwen ap kòmande nou jodi a, pou nou kapab gen fòs pou antre e posede peyi a nan sila nou prèt pou travèse pran an;
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.
jis pou jou nou yo kapab vin pi plis nan peyi ke SENYÈ a te sèmante a zansèt nou yo pou ba yo ak desandan pa yo, yon peyi ki koule avèk lèt ak siwo myèl.
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;
Paske peyi kote nou ap antre pou posede a, se pa tankou peyi Égypte la, kote nou sòti a, kote nou te konn plante semans nou e wouze li avèk pye nou tankou yon 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,
Men peyi kote nou prèt pou travèse pran an, yon peyi avèk ti mòn ak vale, k ap bwè dlo ki sòti nan lapli syèl la,
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.
yon peyi ke SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, renmen anpil. Zye a SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, toujou sou li, soti nan kòmansman jis rive nan fen ane 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,
“Li va vin rive ke si nou koute avèk obeyisans a kòmandman mwen yo, ke mwen ap kòmande nou jodi a, pou nou renmen SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, e sèvi Li avèk tout kè nou e avèk 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;
ke Mwen va bay lapli pou peyi nou nan sezon li, lapli premye sezon ak lapli dènye sezon, pou nou kapab fè antre sereyal avèk diven nèf, avèk lwil.
15 and I will give grass in thy field for thy cattle; and thou shalt eat and be full.
Mwen va bannou zèb nan chan nou yo pou bèt nou yo, e nou va manje e va satisfè.
16 Take heed to yourselves, that your heart be not deceived, and ye turn aside and serve other gods, and bow down to them,
“Veye nou pou kè nou pa vin sedwi; pou nou pa vire akote pou sèvi lòt dye yo e 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.
Sinon, lakòlè SENYÈ a va limen kont nou, epi Li va fèmen syèl yo pou pa gen lapli, e tè a p ap donnen fwi li. Konsa, nou va peri vit soti nan bon peyi ke SENYÈ a ap bannou 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.
Pou sa, nou va tache pawòl sa yo sou kè nou ak sou nanm nou. Nou va mare yo tankou yon sign sou men nou e yo va tankou très cheve nan fwon nou.
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;
Nou va enstwi yo a fis nou yo nan pale sou yo lè nou chita lakay nou, lè nou mache akote wout la, e lè nou kouche ak lè nou leve.
20 and write them upon the posts of thy house, and upon thy gates;
Nou va ekri yo nan poto chanbrann lakay nou ak sou pòtay 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.
jis pou jou nou yo avèk jou a fis nou yo kapab vin miltipliye nan peyi kote SENYÈ a te sèmante a zansèt nou yo pou bay yo, toutotan syèl yo ap rete sou 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,
“Paske si nou fè atansyon pou kenbe tout kòmandman sa yo ke mwen ap kòmande nou pou fè yo, pou renmen SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, pou mache nan tout chemen Li yo e kenbe fèm a Li,
23 then will Jehovah dispossess all these nations from before you, and ye shall take possession of nations greater and mightier than yourselves.
alò, SENYÈ a va chase tout nasyon yo soti devan nou; epi nou va deplase nasyon ki pi gran e ki pi pwisan ke nou yo.
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.
Nenpòt kote ke pye nou pile va vin pou nou; lizyè nou va soti nan dezè a pou jis rive Liban, soti nan rivyè a, Rivyè Lefrat la, pou jis rive nan lanmè lwès la.
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.
P ap gen pèsòn ki kapab kanpe devan nou. SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, va mete gwo panik de nou ak laperèz nou sou tout peyi kote nou foule pye nou yo, jan Li te deja pale nou an.
26 See, I set before you this day a blessing and a curse:
“Gade, mwen ap mete devan nou jodi a yon benediksyon avèk yon malediksyon;
27 a blessing, if ye obey the commandments of Jehovah your God, which I command you this day;
Benediksyon an si nou koute kòmandman a SENYÈ yo, Bondye nou an ke mwen kòmande nou jodi 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.
epi malediksyon an si nou pa koute kòmandman a SENYÈ yo, Bondye nou an, men vire akote chemen ke mwen ap kòmande nou jodi a, pou swiv lòt dye ke nou pa t konnen yo.
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.
“Li va rive, ke lè SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, mennen nou nan peyi kote n ap antre posede a, ke nou va plase benediksyon an nan mòn Garizim nan e malediksyon an nan mòn Ebal la.
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?
Èske yo pa anfas Jourdain an, vè lwès, vè solèy kouche a, nan peyi Kanaaneyen ki rete Araba yo, anfas Guilgal, akote chenn Moré yo.
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.
Paske nou prèt pou travèse Jourdain an pou antre posede peyi ke SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, ap bannou an, e nou va posede li pou viv ladann.
32 And ye shall take heed to do all the statutes and ordinances which I set before you this day.
Nou va fè atansyon pou fè tout sa lalwa avèk jijman ke mwen ap mete devan nou jodi a.
