Deuteronomy 28
1 And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of Jehovah thy God, to take heed to do all his commandments which I command thee this day, that Jehovah thy God will set thee supreme above all nations of the earth;
Si nou koute Seyè a, Bondye nou an, si nou fè tou sa mwen ban nou lòd fè jòdi a, Seyè a va fè nou tounen nasyon ki pi gran pase tout lòt nasyon ki sou latè.
2 and all these blessings shall come on thee and overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken unto the voice of Jehovah thy God.
Wi, si nou koute Seyè a, Bondye nou an, men benediksyon l'ap vide sou nou:
3 Blessed shalt thou be in the city, and blessed shalt thou be in the field.
Seyè a va beni nou lavil kou andeyò.
4 Blessed shall be the fruit of thy womb, and the fruit of thy ground, and the fruit of thy cattle, the offspring of thy kine, and the increase of thy sheep.
Seyè a va beni pitit nou yo, rekòt jaden nou yo, pòte bèf nou yo, pòte kabrit nou yo, pòte mouton nou yo ak pòte tout lòt bèt nou yo.
5 Blessed shall be thy basket and thy kneading-trough.
Seyè a va beni rekòt ble nou ak rekòt farin nou.
6 Blessed shalt thou be in thy coming in, and blessed shalt thou be in thy going out.
Seyè a va beni nou nan tou sa n'ap fè, depi nan mete men jouk nou bout.
7 Jehovah will give up, smitten before thee, thine enemies that rise up against thee; they shall come out against thee one way, and by seven ways shall they flee before thee.
Seyè a va fè nou kraze tout lènmi ki va atake nou. Lè y'ap vin sou nou, y'a mache ansanm sou yon sèl chemen. Men, y'a gaye toupatou lè y'ap kraze rak pou nou.
8 Jehovah will command blessing on thee in thy granaries, and in all the business of thy hand; and he will bless thee in the land which Jehovah thy God giveth thee.
Seyè a va beni nou tout tan, l'a beni depo manje nou, l'a beni tou sa n'ap fè. L'a beni nou nan peyi Seyè a, Bondye nou an, va ban nou an.
9 Jehovah will establish thee unto himself a holy people as he hath sworn unto thee, if thou keep the commandments of Jehovah thy God, and walk in his ways.
Si nou fè tou sa Seyè a, Bondye nou an, mande nou fè, si nou viv jan li vle nou viv la, n'a yon pèp k'ap viv apa nèt pou Seyè a, Bondye nou an, jan l' te fè nou pwomès la.
10 And all peoples of the earth shall see that thou art called by the name of Jehovah, and they shall be afraid of thee.
Lè sa a, tout pèp sou latè va wè Seyè a te chwazi nou pou pote non l', y'a gen respè pou nou.
11 And Jehovah will give thee abundance of good, in the fruit of thy body, and in the fruit of thy cattle, and in the fruit of thy ground, in the land that Jehovah swore unto thy fathers to give thee.
Seyè a va kouvri nou ak benediksyon, l'a ban nou anpil pitit, anpil bèt ak anpil rekòt nan peyi Seyè a te pwomèt zansèt nou yo l'ap ban nou an.
12 Jehovah will open to thee his good treasure, the heavens, to give rain unto thy land in its season, and to bless all the work of thy hand; and thou shalt lend unto many nations, but thou shalt not borrow.
L'a rete nan syèl la, l'a louvri trezò li, l'a voye lapli sou peyi a lè sezon an va rive, l'a beni tout travay n'ap fè. N'a gen pou nou prete tout moun. Nou p'ap janm bezwen mande pesonn prete.
13 And Jehovah will make thee the head, and not the tail; and thou shalt be above only, and thou shalt not be beneath; if thou hearken unto the commandments of Jehovah thy God, which I command thee this day, to keep and to do them,
Seyè a va mete nou devan, nou p'ap janm dèyè. N'a toujou anwo, nou p'ap janm anba, depi nou swiv tout lòd Seyè a, Bondye nou an, depi nou fè tou sa mwen mande nou fè jòdi a,
14 and if thou turn not aside from any of the words that I command thee this day, to the right hand or to the left, to go after other gods to serve them.
san nou pa janm kite chemen li mete devan nou an pou n' ale dèyè lòt bondye pou nou sèvi yo.
15 But it shall come to pass if thou wilt not hearken unto the voice of Jehovah thy God, to take heed to do all his commandments and his statutes which I command thee this day, that all these curses shall come upon thee and overtake thee.
Men tou, si nou pa koute Seyè a, Bondye nou an, si nou pa fè tou sa mwen ban nou lòd fè jòdi a, si nou pa swiv regleman mwen ban nou yo, men madichon l'ap ban nou epi k'ap tonbe sou nou:
16 Cursed shalt thou be in the city, and cursed shalt thou be in the field.
Madichon Bondye va tonbe sou nou nan lavil kou andeyò.
17 Cursed shall be thy basket and thy kneading-trough.
Madichon Bondye va tonbe sou rekòt ble nou ak sou rekòt farin nou.
18 Cursed shall be the fruit of thy womb, and the fruit of thy ground, the offspring of thy kine, and the increase of thy sheep.
Madichon Bondye va tonbe sou pitit nou yo, sou rekòt jaden nou yo, sou pòte bèf, pòte kabrit ak pòte mouton nou yo.
19 Cursed shalt thou be in thy coming in, and cursed shalt thou be in thy going out.
Madichon Bondye va tonbe sou tou sa n'ap fè, depi nan mete men jouk nou bout.
20 Jehovah will send upon thee cursing, confusion, and rebuke, in all the business of thy hand which thou doest, until thou be destroyed and until thou perish quickly, because of the wickedness of thy doings, whereby thou hast forsaken me.
Si nou fè bagay ki mal, si nou vire do bay Seyè a, l'ap voye tout kalite madichon sou nou: Nou p'ap konn sa pou n' fè, n'a gen kè sere nan tou sa n'ap fè jouk n'a rete konsa n'a fin disparèt nèt, paske nou te fè bagay ki mal, nou te vire do ba li.
21 Jehovah will make the pestilence cleave unto thee, until he have consumed thee from off the land whither thou goest to possess it.
Seyè a ap voye yon sèl move maladi po k'ap fini nèt ak nou nan peyi nou pral pran pou nou an.
22 Jehovah will smite thee with consumption, and with fever, and with inflammation, and with burning ague, and with drought, and with blight, and with mildew, and they shall pursue thee until thou perish.
L'ap voye sou nou epidemi, move lafyèb, maladi anfle, chalè pou toufe moun, jouk n'a mouri. L'a voye chechrès, vèmen ak pichon pou detwi rekòt nou yo. Malè sa yo va tonbe sou nou jouk n'a fin disparèt nèt.
23 And thy heavens which are over thy head shall be brass, and the earth which is under thee, iron.
Syèl la p'ap bay yon degout lapli menm. Tè a va vin di kou wòch.
24 Jehovah will give as the rain of thy land powder and dust; from the heavens shall it come down upon thee until thou be destroyed.
Nan plas lapli, Seyè a va fè pousyè tè ak sab kouvri nou jouk nou mouri.
25 Jehovah will give thee up smitten before thine enemies; thou shalt go out against them one way, and by seven ways shalt thou flee before them; and thou shalt be driven hither and thither into all the kingdoms of the earth.
L'a fè lènmi nou yo bat nou. N'a pran yon sèl chemen ansanm pou n' atake yo. Men, n'a gaye toupatou lè n'a pran rak devan yo. Tout moun sou latè pral mete men nan tèt lè y'a wè sa ki rive nou.
26 And thy carcase shall be meat unto all the fowl of the air, and unto the beasts of the earth, and there shall be no man to scare them away.
Lè n'a mouri, se zwazo ak bèt nan bwa ki pral manje kadav nou yo san p'ap gen pesonn pou pouse yo ale.
27 Jehovah will smite thee with the ulcers of Egypt, and with boils, and with the scab, and with the itch, whereof thou canst not be healed.
Seyè a va fè bouton leve sou tout kò nou, menm jan li te fè moun peyi Lejip yo, n'a gen apse, lagal, pyas, epi nou p'ap ka jwenn gerizon pou maladi po sa yo.
28 Jehovah will smite thee with madness, and with blindness, and with astonishment of heart;
Seyè a va fè nou pèdi tèt nou, nou p'ap konprann sa n'ap fè, nou p'ap konnen kote pou n' mete kò nou.
29 and thou shalt grope at noonday, as the blind gropeth in darkness, and thou shalt not prosper in thy ways; and thou shalt be only oppressed and spoiled continually, and there shall be none to save.
Gwo midi, n'a tatonnen tankou avèg k'ap mache nan fènwa. Nou p'ap jwenn rannman nan ankenn travay n'ap fè. Tout tan moun ap malmennen nou, y'ap vòlè nou, lèfini p'ap gen pesonn pou pote nou sekou.
30 Thou shalt betroth a wife, and another man shall lie with her; thou shalt build a house, and thou shalt not dwell therein; thou shalt plant a vineyard, and shalt not eat of it.
N'a fiyanse ak yon fi, men se yon lòt gason ki va kouche ak li. N'a bati yon kay, men nou p'ap janm rete ladan l'. N'a plante yon jaden rezen, men nou p'ap janm jwi l'.
31 Thine ox shall be slaughtered before thine eyes, and thou shalt not eat thereof; thine ass shall be snatched away from before thy face, and shall not return to thee; thy sheep shall be given unto thine enemies, and thou shalt have none to recover them.
Y'a touye bèf nou yo la devan je nou, men nou p'ap ka mete yon ti moso nan vyann li nan bouch nou. Y'ap pran bourik nou nan bab nou al avè l', yo p'ap janm renmèt nou li. Y'a bay lènmi nou yo tout mouton nou yo, epi p'ap gen pesonn pou pote nou sekou.
32 Thy sons and thy daughters shall be given unto another people, and thine eyes shall look, and languish for them all the day long; and there shall be no power in thy hand [to help it].
N'a wè ak je nou y'ap pran pitit gason ak pitit fi nou yo bay moun lòt nasyon. Tout lè n'a anvi wè yo ankò, men p'ap gen anyen nou ka fè pou sa.
33 The fruit of thy ground and all thy labour, shall a people that thou knowest not eat up; and thou shalt be only oppressed and crushed continually.
Moun nou pa janm konnen va manje tou sa ki nan jaden nou ak tout pwofi travay nou. Se tout tan y'a malmennen nou, y'a maltrete nou.
34 And thou shalt be mad through the sight of thine eyes which thou shalt see.
Lè n'a wè tout bagay sa yo rive nou, n'a pèdi tèt nou!
35 Jehovah will smite thee in the knees and in the legs with evil ulcers, whereof thou canst not be healed, from the sole of thy foot unto the top of thy head.
Seyè a va ban nou yon sèl malenng nan jenou ak sou kwis janm nou ki p'ap janm geri. Bouton ap parèt sou tout kò nou, depi nan pye jouk nan tèt.
36 Jehovah will bring thee, and thy king whom thou shalt set over thee, unto a nation that neither thou nor thy fathers have known, and there shalt thou serve other gods, wood and stone.
Seyè a pral depòte nou ansanm ak tout wa nou te mete alatèt nou, nan yon peyi etranje ni nou menm ni zansèt nou yo pa t' janm konnen. Lè n'a rive la, n'a sèvi zidòl fèt an bwa ak zidòl fèt ak wòch.
37 And thou shalt become an astonishment, a proverb, and a byword, among all the peoples whither Jehovah shall lead thee.
Nan tout peyi kote Seyè a pral gaye nou yo, moun pral sezi wè sa ki rive nou, y'a pase nou anba kont betiz, y'a fè chante sou nou.
38 Thou shalt carry much seed out into the field, and shalt gather little in; for the locust shall devour it.
N'a plante anpil grenn nan jaden nou, men n'a rekòlte yon ti kras, paske krikèt va manje pifò.
39 Thou shalt plant and till vineyards, but shalt drink no wine, nor gather [the fruit]; for the worms shall eat it.
N'a plante jaden rezen, n'a okipe yo byen. Men, nou p'ap jwenn rezen ni pou nou rekòlte, ni pou fè diven pou nou bwè, paske vèmen va fin manje tout.
40 Olive-trees shalt thou have throughout all thy borders, but thou shalt not anoint thyself with oil; for thine olive-tree shall cast its fruit.
Pye oliv va pouse toupatou nan peyi nou an, men nou p'ap gen yon ti degout lwil oliv, paske tout grenn oliv yo ap koule.
41 Sons and daughters shalt thou beget, but thou shalt not have them [to be with thee]; for they shall go into captivity.
N'a fè pitit fi ak pitit gason, men yo p'ap pou nou, paske lènmi nou yo ap fè yo prizonye, y'ap depòte yo.
42 All thy trees and the fruit of thy ground shall the locust possess.
Krikèt pral manje tout pyebwa nou yo ak tout ti plant ki nan jaden nou yo.
43 The sojourner that is in thy midst shall rise above thee higher and higher, and thou shalt sink down lower and lower.
Moun lòt nasyon k'ap viv nan mitan nou va vin pi fò pase nou. Nou menm, chak jou, n'a pèdi fil.
44 He shall lend to thee, but thou shalt not lend to him: he shall be the head, and thou shalt be the tail.
Se yo menm ki va gen lajan pou yo prete nou. Nou menm nou p'ap gen anyen pou n' prete yo. Se yo ki va devan, nou menm nou pral dèyè nèt.
45 And all these curses shall come upon thee, and shall pursue thee, and overtake thee, until thou be destroyed; because thou hearkenedst not unto the voice of Jehovah thy God, to keep his commandments and his statutes which he commanded thee.
Tout giyon sa yo va tonbe sou nou. Kote nou pase y'a pase dèyè nou. Y'a rete sou nou jouk y'a fini nèt ak nou. Tou sa, paske nou pa t' koute sa Seyè a, Bondye nou an, di nou, nou pa t' fè tou sa li te mande nou fè nan lòd ak regleman li te ban nou yo.
46 And they shall be upon thee for a sign and for a wonder, and upon thy seed for ever.
Madichon sa yo va sèvi ni pou nou ni pou pitit nou yo pou moutre nou kalite mèvèy ak mirak Bondye ka fè.
47 Because thou servedst not Jehovah thy God with joyfulness, and with gladness of heart, for the abundance of everything,
Bondye te ban nou tou sa nou te bezwen. Men malgre sa, nou pa t' sèvi l' tout bon ak kè kontan.
48 thou shalt serve thine enemies whom Jehovah will send against thee, in hunger, and in thirst, and in nakedness, and in want of everything; and he shall put a yoke of iron upon thy neck, until he have destroyed thee.
Se poutèt sa, nou pral sèvi lènmi Seyè a pral voye sou nou. Nou pral soufri grangou, swaf dlo, toutouni, dizèt ak tout kalite mizè. Seyè a pral fè lènmi yo kraze nou anba men yo, jouk y'a fini nèt ak nou.
49 Jehovah will bring a nation against thee from afar, from the end of the earth, like as the eagle flieth, a nation whose tongue thou understandest not;
Seyè a pral mennen yon nasyon soti byen lwen nan dènye bout latè, yon nasyon ki pale yon lang nou p'ap konprann, yo pral vare sou nou tankou malfini sou poul.
50 a nation of fierce countenance, which regardeth not the person of the old, nor is kind to the young;
Se moun ki gen kè di. Yo p'ap respekte vye granmoun, ni yo p'ap gen pitye pou timoun.
51 and he shall eat the fruit of thy cattle, and the fruit of thy ground, until thou be destroyed; for he shall not leave thee corn, new wine, or oil, offspring of thy kine, or increase of thy sheep, until he have destroyed thee.
Y'a manje pwofi bèt nou yo, ak rekòt jaden nou yo jouk y'a kite nou mouri grangou. Yo p'ap kite anyen pou nou, ni farin, ni diven, ni lwil, ni pòte bèf nou yo ni pòte mouton nou yo, jouk y'a fini nèt ak nou.
52 And he shall besiege thee in all thy gates, until thy high and strong walls wherein thou trustedst come down, throughout all thy land; and he shall besiege thee in all thy gates in all thy land, which Jehovah thy God hath given thee.
Y'a atake nou. Y'a sènen tout lavil nou yo, jouk y'a fin kraze gwo miray byen wo ki te sèvi nou ranpa, miray nou te kwè ki ta ka toujou pwoteje nou yo. Wi, y'a fèmen nou, y'a sènen tout lavil nou yo, toupatou nan peyi Seyè a, Bondye nou an, te fè nou kado a.
53 And in the siege, and in the straitness, wherewith thine enemies shall distress thee, thou shalt eat the fruit of thine own body, the flesh of thy sons and of thy daughters whom Jehovah thy God hath given thee.
Lè lènmi nou yo va sènen nou nan lavil nou yo, y'a mete nou nan yon sèl kalite mizè ak kè sere, n'a sitèlman grangou, n'a manje pwòp pitit nou yo, pitit gason ak pitit fi Seyè a, Bondye nou an, te ban nou.
54 The eye of the man in thy midst that is tender and very luxurious shall be evil towards his brother, and the wife of his bosom, and the residue of his children which he hath left;
Menm moun nou konnen ki pi bon nan mitan nou an, moun ki pa janm nan kont ak pesonn lan, enben menm li menm, l'a fèmen kè l', li p'ap konn frè, li p'ap konn madanm li te renmen an, ni ankenn pitit nan sa ki rete l' yo,
55 so that he will not give to any of them of the flesh of his children that he eateth, because he hath nothing left him in the siege and in the straitness wherewith thine enemies shall distress thee in all thy gates.
pou li pa bay pesonn nan vyann pitit li l'ap manje a, paske ak lènmi k'ap sènen nou nan lavil nou yo, ap gen yon sèl mizè ak kè sere nan mitan lavil nou yo, ata li menm, l'a sitèlman grangou, l'a blije manje pwòp pitit li, epi li p'ap bay pesonn ladan l'.
56 The eye of the tender and luxurious woman in thy midst who would not attempt to set the sole of her foot upon the ground from luxuriousness and from tenderness, shall be evil toward the husband of her bosom, and her son, and her daughter,
Menm fanm nou konnen ki pi bon moun nan mitan nou an, fanm ki pa ta janm ap mache nan lari tèlman li gen bon jan ak bon levasyon an, li va fèmen kè l', li p'ap konn ni mari li renmen anpil la, ni pitit fi, ni pitit gason.
57 because of her afterbirth which hath come out between her feet, and her children whom she shall bear; for she shall secretly eat them for want of everything in the siege and in the straitness wherewith thine enemy shall distress thee in thy gates.
Pou li pa separe ak yo, l'a kache kò l' pou yo pa wè l' lè l'ap manje pitit li fenk fè a, ansanm ak tout manman vant lan. Paske, avèk lènmi k'ap sènen nou nan lavil nou yo, ap gen yon sèl mizè ak kè sere, p'ap gen anyen pou manje. Lè sa a, l'a kache kò l' pou l' pa bay yo anyen nan sa l'ap manje a.
58 If thou wilt not take heed to do all the words of this law that are written in this book, to fear this glorious and fearful name, JEHOVAH THY GOD;
Si nou pa swiv tout regleman ki ekri nan liv lalwa sa a, si nou pa gen krentif pou Bondye nou an, Seyè ki gen anpil pouvwa a, Bondye moun fèt pou respekte a,
59 then Jehovah will make thy plagues wonderful, and the plagues of thy seed, great and persistent plagues and evil and persistent sicknesses;
Seyè a va voye gwo malè sa yo sou nou ak sou pitit nou yo, l'a voye gwo epidemi ki pa tande rete, move maladi ki pa konn renmèd.
60 and he will bring upon thee all the diseases of Egypt which thou art afraid of, and they shall cleave unto thee.
L'a voye sou nou ankò tout malè ki te tonbe sou moun peyi Lejip yo, malè ki te fè nou tranble yo. Nou p'ap janm ka soti anba yo.
61 Also every sickness and every plague which is not written in the book of this law, them will Jehovah bring upon thee, until thou be destroyed.
Sa ki pi rèd ankò, Seyè a va voye sou nou tout kalite epidemi ak maladi yo pa pale nan liv lalwa Seyè a jouk la fini nèt avèk nou.
62 And ye shall be left a small company, whereas ye were as the stars of heaven for multitude; because thou hast not hearkened to the voice of Jehovah thy God.
Epi nou menm, moun pèp Izrayèl yo, ki te anpil tankou zetwal ki nan syèl la, n'a tounen yon ti ponyen moun, paske nou pa t' koute sa Seyè a, Bondye nou an, te di nou.
63 And it shall come to pass, that as Jehovah rejoiced over you to do you good and to multiply you, so Jehovah will rejoice over you to cause you to perish, and to destroy you; and ye shall be plucked from off the land whereunto thou goest to possess it.
Menm jan Seyè a, Bondye nou an, te pran plezi pou l' te fè nou byen, pou l' te fè nou vin anpil la, se konsa tou l'a pran plezi pou l' fè nou pèdi tout bagay, pou l' fini nèt ak nou. L'a rache nou met deyò nan peyi kote nou pral antre a, peyi nou pral pran pou nou rete a.
64 And Jehovah will scatter thee among all peoples, from one end of the earth even unto the other end of the earth; and thou shalt there serve other gods, whom thou hast not known, neither thou nor thy fathers, wood and stone.
Seyè a va gaye nou nan mitan tout nasyon ki toupatou sou latè. Lè n'a rive la, n'a sèvi lòt bondye ni zansèt nou yo, ni nou menm nou pa t' janm tande pale, zidòl fèt an bwa, zidòl fèt ak wòch.
65 And among these nations shalt thou have no rest, neither shall the sole of thy foot have a resting-place, and Jehovah shall give thee there a trembling heart, languishing of the eyes, and pining of the soul.
Antan n'ap viv nan mitan lòt nasyon sa yo, nou p'ap janm gen kè poze, nou p'ap janm ka rete yon sèl kote. Seyè a va fè nou viv ak kè sote, nan lapenn ak dekourajman.
66 And thy life shall hang in suspense before thee; and thou shalt be in terror day and night and shalt be afraid of thy life.
Lavi nou ap toujou an danje. Lajounen kou lannwit, n'ap nan laperèz, n'ap pè pou lanmò pa pran nou.
67 In the morning thou shalt say, Would that it were even! and in the evening thou shalt say, Would that it were morning! through the fright of thy heart wherewith thou shalt be in terror, and through the sight of thine eyes which thou shalt see.
Devan bagay n'a wè k'ap pase devan je nou, n'a gen yon sèl laperèz nan kè nou, kè nou va bat bip-bip! Chak maten n'a mande kilè aswè va rive. Chak aswè n'a mande kilè la jou.
68 And Jehovah will bring thee into Egypt again with ships, by the way whereof I said unto thee, Thou shalt see it again no more; and there ye shall be sold unto your enemies for bondmen and bondwomen, and there shall be no man to buy [you].
Seyè a va fè nou tounen nan peyi Lejip nan bato, atout se li menm ki te pwomèt nou pa t'ap janm tounen la ankò. N' aval vann tèt nou bay lènmi nou yo pou nou sèvi yo esklav, men pesonn p'ap vle achte nou.
