Deuteronomy 8
1 Every commandment which I command thee this day shall ye take heed to do, that ye may live, and multiply, and enter in and possess the land which Jehovah swore unto your fathers.
Se pou nou swiv pwen pa pwen tout kòmandman m'ap ban nou jòdi a pou nou ka viv, pou nou ka gen anpil pitit, pou nou ka mache pran peyi mwen te fè sèman m'ap bay zansèt nou yo.
2 And thou shalt remember all the way which Jehovah thy God led thee these forty years in the wilderness, to humble thee, and to prove thee, to know what was in thy heart, whether thou wouldest keep his commandments or not.
Chonje tout chemen Seyè a, Bondye nou an, te fè nou pran nan dezè a pandan karantan pou l' te ka kraze lògèy nou, pou l' te ka sonde nou, pou l' te ka konnen sa ki nan kè nou, si tout bon vre nou te soti pou kenbe kòmandman l' yo.
3 And he humbled thee, and suffered thee to hunger, and fed thee with the manna, which thou hadst not known, and which thy fathers knew not; that he might make thee know that man doth not live by bread alone, but by everything that goeth out of the mouth of Jehovah doth man live.
Li kraze lògèy nou, li fè nou soufri grangou. Apre sa, li ba nou laman pou nou manje, yon kalite manje ni nou menm ni zansèt nou yo pa t' janm konnen. Li fè tou sa pou li te fè nou konnen se pa pen ase moun bezwen pou yo viv. Yo bezwen tout pawòl ki soti nan bouch Seyè a tou pou yo viv.
4 Thy clothing grew not old upon thee, neither did thy foot swell, these forty years.
Pandan tout karantan sa yo, rad sou nou pa janm fini, pye nou yo pa janm fè yon ti anfle.
5 And know in thy heart that, as a man chasteneth his son, so Jehovah thy God chasteneth thee;
Se pou nou manyè konprann koulye a, Seyè a, Bondye nou an, t'ap mete nou sou lòd tankou yon papa k'ap mete pitit li sou lòd.
6 and thou shalt keep the commandments of Jehovah thy God, to walk in his ways, and to fear him.
Se poutèt sa, toujou kenbe tout lòd Seyè a, Bondye nou an, ban nou pou nou ka mennen bak nou dwat nan chemen li mete devan nou yo, lèfini pou nou toujou gen krentif pou li.
7 For Jehovah thy God bringeth thee into a good land, a land of water-brooks, of springs, and of deep waters, that gush forth in the valleys and hills;
Men, Seyè a, Bondye nou an, ap mennen nou nan yon bèl peyi, yon peyi kote ki gen anpil rivyè, anpil sous dlo, anpil dlo anba tè k'ap pete nan fon yo ak sou flan mòn yo,
8 a land of wheat, and barley, and vines, and fig-trees, and pomegranates; a land of olive-trees and honey;
yon peyi kote ki gen ble, lòj, rezen, pye fig frans, grenad, oliv ak siwo myèl,
9 a land wherein thou shalt eat bread without scarceness, where thou shalt lack nothing; a land whose stones are iron, and out of whose mountains thou wilt dig copper.
yon peyi kote nou p'ap janm manke manje, kote nou va jwenn tou sa nou vle. Plen fè nan mitan wòch li yo. N'a jwenn kwiv nan mòn li yo.
10 And thou shalt eat and be filled, and shalt bless Jehovah thy God for the good land which he hath given thee.
Men, lè n'a fin manje plen vant nou, n'a fè lwanj Seyè a, Bondye nou an, pou bon peyi li te ban nou an.
11 Beware that thou forget not Jehovah thy God, in not keeping his commandments, and his ordinances, and his statutes, which I command thee this day;
Veye kò nou pou nou pa janm bliye Seyè a, Bondye nou an, pou nou pa janm neglije kòmandman, lòd ak prensip m'ap ban nou jòdi a.
12 lest when thou hast eaten and art full, and hast built and inhabited fine houses,
Lè n'a fin manje plen vant nou, lè n'a fin bati bèl kay pou nou rete,
13 and thy herds and thy flocks multiply, and thy silver and thy gold is multiplied, and all that thou hast is multiplied,
lè n'a wè bèf nou yo, kabrit nou yo ak mouton nou yo ap peple, lè n'a wè n'a gen lò ak ajan an kantite, lè n'a wè tout byen nou yo ap vin pi plis chak jou,
14 then thy heart be lifted up, and thou forget Jehovah thy God, who brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage;
pa kite lògèy vire tèt nou pou nou bliye Seyè a, Bondye nou an, ki te fè nou soti kite peyi Lejip kote yo te fè nou tounen esklav la.
15 who led thee through the great and terrible wilderness, [a wilderness of] fiery serpents, and scorpions, and drought, where there is no water; who brought thee forth water out of the rock of flint;
Se li menm ki te pran men nou pou fè nou travèse gwo dezè plen danje a, kote ki gen eskòpyon ak sèpan ki gen move pwazon nan bouch yo, kote moun ap mouri swaf dlo paske pa gen dlo la menm. Men, se li menm ki te fè dlo soti nan gwo wòch di a pou nou.
16 who fed thee in the wilderness with manna, which thy fathers knew not, that he might humble thee, and that he might prove thee, to do thee good at thy latter end;
Nan dezè a se li menm ki te ban nou manje laman, yon kalite manje zansèt nou yo pa t' janm konnen. Li kraze lògèy nou, li sonde nou pou nou te ka gen kè kontan pi devan.
17 — and thou say in thy heart, My power and the might of my hand has procured me this wealth.
Pa janm mete nan tèt nou se kouraj nou ak fòs ponyèt nou ki fè nou gen tout richès sa yo.
18 But thou shalt remember Jehovah thy God, that it is he who giveth thee power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he swore unto thy fathers, as it is this day.
Chonje se Seyè a, Bondye nou an, ki te ban nou kouraj sa a. Se li menm ki te fè nou rive gen tout richès sa yo, paske li te kenbe kontra li te pase ak zansèt nou yo, epi l'ap kenbe l' jouk jòdi a.
19 And it shall be, if thou do at all forget Jehovah thy God, and go after other gods, and serve them, and bow down to them, I testify against you this day that ye shall utterly perish.
Si nou rive bliye Seyè a, Bondye nou an, pou n' al kouri dèyè lòt bondye, pou nou fè sèvis pou yo, pou n' adore yo, mwen tou avèti nou jòdi a, nou tout nou gen pou nou disparèt.
20 As the nations which Jehovah is causing to perish before you, so shall ye perish; because ye would not hearken unto the voice of Jehovah your God.
Si nou pa koute sa Seyè a, Bondye nou an, di nou, nou pral disparèt menm jan ak nasyon Bondye pral disparèt devan nou yo.
