Deuteronomy 12
1 These are the statutes and ordinances, which ye shall take heed to do in the land, which Jehovah the God of thy fathers is giving thee to possess it, all the days that ye live upon the earth.
“Sa yo se lwa avèk jijman ke nou va swiv avèk atansyon nan peyi ke SENYÈ a, Bondye a zansèt nou yo, te bannou pou posede pandan tout tan ke n ap viv sou tè a.
2 Ye shall utterly destroy all the places wherein the nations which ye shall dispossess have served their gods, upon the high mountains, and upon the hills, and under every green tree;
“Nou va detwi nèt tout kote ke nasyon yo mete dye pa yo pou sèvi yo; sou mòn wo yo, sou ti mòn yo ak anba tout pyebwa yo.
3 and ye shall break down their altars, and shatter their statues, and burn their Asherahs with fire; and ye shall hew down the graven images of their gods, and ye shall destroy the names of them out of that place.
Nou va chire lotèl yo, e kraze pilye sakre yo, e brile poto Asherim nan avèk dife. Nou va koupe imaj taye a dye pa yo, e nou va fè disparèt tout tras non yo nan kote sila yo.
4 Ye shall not do so unto Jehovah your God;
“Nou p ap aji konsa anvè SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an.
5 but unto the place which Jehovah your God will choose out of all your tribes to set his name there, his habitation shall ye seek, and thither thou shalt come;
Men nou va chache kote SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, chwazi sou tout trib nou yo, pou etabli non Li a tankou kote pou L ta rete, e la, nou va vini.
6 and thither ye shall bring your burnt-offerings and your sacrifices, and your tithes, and the heave-offering of your hand, and your vows, and your voluntary-offerings, and the firstlings of your kine and of your sheep;
La, nou va mennen ofrann brile nou yo, sakrifis nou yo, dim nou yo, don ki sòti nan men nou yo, ofrann ve yo, ofrann bòn volonte yo, avèk premye ne nan twoupo nou yo ak nan bann mouton nou yo.
7 and ye shall eat there before Jehovah your God, and ye shall rejoice, ye and your households, in all the business of your hand, wherein Jehovah thy God hath blessed thee.
La osi, nou menm avèk lakay nou va manje devan SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an. Konsa, nou va rejwi nan tout sa nou te antreprann nan, nou avèk lakay nou yo, nan sila SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, te beni nou an.
8 Ye shall not do after all that we do here this day, each one whatever is right in his own eyes.
“Nou p ap fè menm sa ke n ap fè isit la jodi a, konsi tout moun ap fè sa ki bon nan pwòp zye li;
9 For ye are not as yet come to the rest and to the inheritance which Jehovah thy God giveth thee.
paske nou poko rive nan plas repo ak eritaj ke SENYÈ a ap bannou an.
10 But when ye have gone over the Jordan, and dwell in the land which Jehovah your God causeth you to inherit, and when he hath given you rest from all your enemies round about, and ye dwell in safety,
“Lè nou travèse Jourdain an pou viv nan peyi ke SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, ap bannou kòm eritaj la; epi Li bannou repo sou tout lènmi ki antoure nou yo pou nou viv ansekirite,
11 then there shall be a place which Jehovah your God will choose to cause his name to dwell there; thither shall ye bring all that I command you: your burnt-offerings, and your sacrifices, your tithes, and the heave-offering of your hand, and all your choice vows which ye shall vow to Jehovah.
alò, li va rive ke kote ke SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, va chwazi pou non Li vin rete a, se la, nou va mennen tout sa ke Mwen kòmande nou yo: ofrann brile nou yo avèk sakrifis nou yo, dim nou yo avèk don ki sòti nan men nou yo, ak tout ofrann ve ki pi bèl ke nou va fè kòm ve bay SENYÈ a.
12 And ye shall rejoice before Jehovah your God, ye, and your sons, and your daughters, and your bondmen, and your handmaids, and the Levite that is within your gates; for he hath no portion nor inheritance with you.
“Epi nou va rejwi devan SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, nou menm avèk fis ak fi nou yo, sèvitè ak sèvant nou yo ak Levit ki anndan pòtay nou yo, akoz ke li pa gen pati ni eritaj pami nou.
13 Take heed to thyself that thou offer not thy burnt-offerings in every place that thou seest;
Fè atansyon pou nou pa ofri ofrann brile tout kote ke nou wè,
14 but in the place which Jehovah will choose in one of thy tribes, there thou shalt offer thy burnt-offerings, and there thou shalt do all that I command thee.
men kote ke SENYÈ a chwazi nan youn nan tribi nou yo. La, nou va ofri ofrann brile yo, e la, nou va fè tout sa ke mwen kòmande nou yo.
15 Nevertheless, according to all the desire of thy soul thou mayest slay and eat flesh in all thy gates, according to the blessing of Jehovah thy God which he hath given thee: the unclean and the clean may eat thereof, as of the gazelle, and the hart.
“Malgre sa, nou gen dwa touye e manje vyann anndan nenpòt nan pòtay nou yo, nenpòt sa ke nou dezire, selon benediksyon SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, sa ke Li te bannou. Sila ki pa pwòp, ak sila ki pwòp kapab manje ladann, tankou antilop la ak sèf la.
16 Only, ye shall not eat the blood; ye shall pour it upon the earth as water.
Sepandan, nou pa pou bwè san an; nou dwe vide li atè tankou dlo.
17 Thou mayest not eat within thy gates the tithe of thy corn, or of thy new wine, or of thine oil, or the firstlings of thy kine or of thy sheep, nor any of thy vows which thou vowest, nor thy voluntary-offerings, nor the heave-offering of thy hand;
“Nou pa gen dwa manje anndan pòtay nou yo ofrann dim ki sòti nan sereyal yo, ni premye ne nan twoupo ak nan bann mouton nou yo, ni okenn nan ofrann ve yo, ni ofrann bòn volonte nou yo, ni don ki sòti nan men nou yo.
18 but before Jehovah thy God shalt thou eat them in the place which Jehovah thy God will choose, thou and thy son, and thy daughter, and thy bondman, and thy handmaid, and the Levite that is within thy gates; and thou shalt rejoice before Jehovah thy God in all the business of thy hand.
Men nou va manje yo devan SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, kote ke SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an va chwazi a, nou menm avèk fis nou ak fi nou yo, sèvitè ak sèvant lan ak Levit ki anndan pòtay nou yo. Konsa, nou va rejwi devan SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, nan tout sa ke nou antreprann.
19 Take heed to thyself that thou forsake not the Levite all the days thou shalt be in thy land.
Fè atansyon pou nou pa abandone Levit la pandan tout tan ke nou rete nan Peyi a.
20 When Jehovah thy God shall enlarge thy border, as he promised thee, and thou say, I will eat flesh, because thy soul longeth to eat flesh, thou mayest eat flesh, according to all the desire of thy soul.
“Lè SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, vin fè lizyè nou grandi, jan Li te pwomèt nou an, e nou va di: ‘Mwen va manje vyann,’ akoz ke nou vle manje vyann, nou kapab manje vyann, nenpòt sa ke nou pito.
21 If the place which Jehovah thy God will choose to set his name there be too far from thee, then thou shalt slay of thy kine and of thy sheep which Jehovah hath given thee, as I have commanded thee, and thou shalt eat in thy gates according to all the desire of thy soul.
Si kote ke SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, chwazi pou mete non Li an, twò lwen nou, alò, nou kapab touye nan twoupo nou ak bann mouton nou ke SENYÈ a te bannou yo, jan mwen te kòmande nou an. Konsa, nou kapab manje anndan pòtay nou yo nenpòt sa nou pito.
22 Even as the gazelle and the hart is eaten, so thou shalt eat them: the unclean and the clean alike may eat of them.
Menm jan ke yon antilòp oswa yon sèf kon sèvi pou manje; konsa, nou va manje li. Moun ki pwòp ni sila ki pa pwòp kapab manje ladann.
23 Only, be sure that thou eat not the blood; for the blood is the life, and thou mayest not eat the life with the flesh;
“Sèlman, fè sèten ke nou pa bwè san an, paske san an se lavi, e nou p ap bwè lavi avèk chè a.
24 thou shalt not eat it; thou shalt pour it upon the earth as water:
Nou p ap bwè li. Nou va vide li atè tankou dlo.
25 thou shalt not eat it; that it may go well with thee, and with thy children after thee, when thou shalt do what is right in the eyes of Jehovah.
Nou p ap bwè li jis pou sa kab ale byen pou nou avèk pitit apre nou yo; paske nou ap fè sa ki bon nan zye SENYÈ a.
26 But thy hallowed things which thou hast, and what thou hast vowed, thou shalt take, and come to the place which Jehovah will choose;
“Se sèlman bagay ki sen ke nou kapab genyen, ak ofrann ve nou yo, nou va pran pou ale kote ke SENYÈ a chwazi a.
27 and thou shalt offer thy burnt-offerings, the flesh and the blood, upon the altar of Jehovah thy God; and the blood of thy sacrifices shall be poured out upon the altar of Jehovah thy God, and the flesh shalt thou eat.
Konsa, nou va ofri ofrann brile yo, chè a avèk san an sou lotèl la bay SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an. San sakrifis nou yo va vide sou lotèl la bay SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, epi nou va manje chè a.
28 Take heed to hear all these words which I command thee, that it may be well with thee, and with thy children after thee for ever, when thou doest what is good and right in the eyes of Jehovah thy God.
“Fè atansyon pou koute tout pawòl sila yo ke mwen kòmande nou, jis pou sa kapab ale byen pou nou ak fis apre nou yo pou tout tan, akoz nou fè sa ki bon e jis nan zye a SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an.
29 When Jehovah thy God cutteth off from before thee the nations whither thou goest, to take possession of them, and thou hast dispossessed them, and dwellest in their land,
“Lè SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, koupe retire devan nou nasyon ke n ap antre deplase yo, epi nou deplase yo e rete nan peyi pa yo,
30 take heed to thyself that thou be not ensnared [to follow] after them, after that they are destroyed from before thee; and that thou inquire not after their gods, saying, How did these nations serve their gods? even so will I do likewise.
veye ke nou pa antre nan pèlen e swiv yo lè yo fin detwi devan nou; epi ke nou pa chache a dye pa yo, e mande: ‘Kijan nasyon sa yo sèvi dye pa yo? Konsa, mwen va fè menm jan an?’
31 Thou shalt not do so to Jehovah thy God; for every [thing that is] abomination to Jehovah, which he hateth, have they done unto their gods; for even their sons and their daughters have they burned in the fire to their gods.
Nou p ap aji konsa anvè SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, paske se tout zèv abominab ke SENYÈ a rayi yo, ke yo kon fè pou dye pa yo. Paske yo konn menm brile pwòp fis ak fi pa yo nan dife dye pa yo.
32 Everything that I command you, ye shall take heed to do it; thou shalt not add thereto, nor take from it.
“Nenpòt sa ke m kòmande nou, se sa a pou nou fè. Nou p ap ni mete sou li, ni retire ladan l.
