Deuteronomy 1
1 These are the words which Moses spoke to all Israel on this side the Jordan, in the wilderness, in the plain, opposite to Suph, between Paran and Tophel, Laban, Hazeroth, and Dizahab.
Men pawòl Moyiz te di tout pèp Izrayèl la lè yo te lòt bò larivyè Jouden an, nan dezè a, nan plenn Araba ki anfas Souf: Yo te gen dezè Paran an sou yon bò ak lavil Tofèl, Liban, Azewòt ak Dizaab sou lòt bò a.
2 There are eleven days' journey from Horeb by the way of mount Seir to Kadesh-barnea.
Pou mache soti mòn Sinayi rive Kadès-Banea, lè ou swiv wout ki pase nan mòn Seyi a, sa pran onz jou.
3 And it came to pass in the fortieth year, in the eleventh month, on the first of the month, that Moses spoke to the children of Israel, according to all that Jehovah had given him in command to them;
Se premye jou nan onzyèm mwa karantyèm lanne depi yo te soti kite peyi Lejip la Moyiz te fè pale sa a ak pèp Izrayèl la, jan Seyè a te mande l' la.
4 after he had smitten Sihon the king of the Amorites, who dwelt at Heshbon, and Og the king of Bashan, who dwelt at Ashtaroth [and] at Edrei.
Lè sa a, Seyè a te fin bat Siyon, wa peyi Amori a, ki te rete Esbon, ak Og, wa peyi Bazan an, ki te rete Astawòt nan zòn Edreyi.
5 On this side the Jordan, in the land of Moab, began Moses to unfold this law, saying,
Se antan pèp la te lòt bò larivyè Jouden, nan peyi Moab la, Moyiz tanmen esplike yo tou sa Seyè a te di. Li di yo konsa:
6 Jehovah our God spoke unto us in Horeb, saying, Ye have stayed long enough in this mountain.
-Lè nou te sou mòn Orèb la, nou chonje Seyè a, Bondye nou an, te pale ak nou. Li te di nou: Koulye a, nou rete kont nou sou mòn sa a.
7 Turn and take your journey, and go to the hill-country of the Amorites, and unto all the neighbouring places in the plain, in the mountain, and in the lowland, and in the south, and by the seaside, the land of the Canaanites, and Lebanon, unto the great river, the river Euphrates.
Ranmase tout zafè nou pati. Ale nan mòn peyi Amori yo ak nan tout lòt peyi ki toupre l' yo, nan plenn Araba a, nan mòn yo, nan fon yo, nan Negèv la bò sid ak bò gwo lanmè Mediterane a. Ale nan peyi Kanaran an ak nan peyi Liban an jouk nou rive bò gwo larivyè Lefrat la.
8 Behold, I have set the land before you: go in and possess the land which Jehovah swore unto your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give unto them and to their seed after them.
Nou wè! Men m'ap ban nou tout peyi sa yo. Al pran posesyon peyi mwen menm Seyè a, mwen te pwomèt m'ap bay zansèt nou yo, Abraram, Izarak ak Jakòb, pou yo ak pou tout pitit yo ak pitit pitit yo apre yo.
9 And I spoke unto you at that time, saying, I am not able to bear you myself alone.
Menm lè sa a, mwen te di nou: Mwen pa kapab reskonsab nou tout pou kont mwen, chay la twòp pou mwen.
10 Jehovah your God hath multiplied you, and behold, ye are this day as the stars of heaven for multitude.
Seyè a, Bondye nou an, ban nou anpil pitit, kifè koulye a nou vin anpil, tankou zetwal nan syèl la.
11 Jehovah, the God of your fathers, make you a thousand times so many more as ye are, and bless you as he hath said unto you!
Se pou Seyè a, Bondye zansèt nou yo, ban nou mil fwa plis pitit pase sa nou gen koulye a. Se pou l' beni nou jan li te pwomèt nou an.
12 How can I myself alone sustain your wear, and your burden, and your strife?
Men, ki jan pou m' fè pote tout chay sa a pou kont mwen, pou m' jwenn solisyon pou tout pwoblèm nou, pou m' regle tout kont nou gen yonn ak lòt?
13 Provide you wise and understanding and known men, according to your tribes, that I may make them your chiefs.
Se poutèt sa, nan chak branch fanmi nou yo, chwazi kèk nèg ki gen lespri, ki gen bon konprann, ki konn lavi, m'a mete yo chèf pou dirije nou.
14 And ye answered me, and said, The thing that thou hast spoken is good [for us] to do.
Lè sa a, nou te reponn mwen, nou te di m' konsa: Sa ou mande nou fè la a bon wi!
15 So I took the chiefs of your tribes, wise men and known, and made them chiefs over you, captains of thousands, and captains of hundreds, and captains of fifties, and captains of tens, and officers for your tribes.
Se konsa mwen pran nan chak branch fanmi nou yo moun ki gen lespri, moun ki konn lavi, mwen mete yo chèf pou dirije nou. Genyen mwen mete chèf sou mil gason, dòt sou san gason, dòt sou senkant gason, dòt ankò sou dis gason. Mwen te chwazi lòt chèf tou pou chak branch fanmi.
16 And I commanded your judges at that time, saying, Hear [the causes] between your brethren, and judge righteously between a man and his brother, and him also that sojourneth with him.
Lè sa a, men sa mwen te mande chèf nou yo pou yo fè: Chache konnen lè gen kont nan mitan pèp la. N'a regle tout kont yon moun ka gen ak frè parèy li osinon ak moun lòt nasyon k'ap viv nan mitan nou. N'a fè sa san patipri.
17 Ye shall not respect persons in judgment: ye shall hear the small as well as the great; ye shall not be afraid of the face of man, for the judgment is God's; and the matter that is too hard for you shall ye bring to me, that I may hear it.
Nou p'ap nan achte figi lè n'ap jije yon bagay. Se pou nou jije tout moun menm jan, kit se yon ti malere, kit se yon grannèg. Nou pa bezwen pè pesonn paske n'ap jije dapre prensip Bondye bay. Lè se yon ka ki twò difisil pou nou, n'a pote l' vin devan mwen, m'a jije l' mwen menm.
18 And I commanded you at that time all the things that ye should do.
Se konsa, menm lè sa a, mwen te ban nou lòd, mwen te di nou sa pou n' fè ak sa pou n' pa fè.
19 And we departed from Horeb and went through all that great and terrible wilderness, which ye saw, on the way to the mountain of the Amorites, as Jehovah our God had commanded us; and we came to Kadesh-barnea.
Apre sa, nou leve, nou kite mòn Orèb la. Jan Seyè a, Bondye nou an, te ban nou lòd la, nou mache nan tout gwo dezè ki gen anpil danje ladan l' lan, dezè nou te wè a, nou pran chemen pou n' al nan mòn peyi Amori yo, epi nou rive Kadès Banea.
20 And I said unto you, Ye are come unto the mountain of the Amorites, which Jehovah our God giveth us.
Lè sa a, mwen di nou: Men nou rive nan mòn peyi Amori yo, peyi Seyè a, Bondye nou an, ap ban nou an.
21 Behold, Jehovah thy God hath set the land before thee: go up, take possession, as Jehovah the God of thy fathers hath said unto thee; fear not, neither be dismayed.
Gade, men peyi Seyè a, Bondye nou an, ap ban nou an. Ale non, pran peyi a pou nou, jan Seyè a, Bondye zansèt nou yo, te di l' la. Nou pa bezwen pè, kè nou pa pou janm kase.
22 And ye came near to me all of you, and said, We will send men before us, who shall examine the land for us, and bring us word again of the way by which we must go up, and of the cities to which we shall come.
Lè sa a nou tout, nou vin jwenn mwen, nou di m' konsa: Ann voye kèk nèg pami nou devan pou y' al wè ki jan peyi a ye. Y'a tounen vin esplike nou ki wout pou nou swiv ak nan ki lavil nou ka antre.
23 And the matter was good in mine eyes; and I took twelve men of you, one man for a tribe.
Mwen te wè sa nou di m' lan se te bon koze. Se konsa mwen chwazi douz nèg, yonn nan chak branch fanmi.
24 And they turned and went up into the mountain, and came to the valley of Eshcol, and searched it out.
Yo pati, yo pran chemen mòn lan jouk yo rive nan Fon Echkòl: yo vizite tout zòn lan nèt.
25 And they took of the fruit of the land in their hand, and brought it down unto us, and brought us answer, and said, The land is good that Jehovah our God hath given us.
Yo pran kèk fwi peyi a donnen, yo pote ban nou. Epi yo di nou peyi Seyè a ap ban nou an se yon bon venn tè.
26 But ye would not go up, and rebelled against the word of Jehovah your God;
Men, nou pa t' vle al ladan l'. Se konsa nou te derefize obeyi lòd Seyè a, Bondye nou an, te ban nou.
27 and ye murmured in your tents, and said, Because Jehovah hated us, he hath brought us forth out of the land of Egypt, to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites, to destroy us.
Nou antre lakay nou, nou pran plenyen. Epi nou di se vle Seyè a pa vle wè nou! Se poutèt sa li fè nou soti kite peyi Lejip pou l' lage nou nan men moun peyi Amori yo pou yo ka fini ak nou.
28 Whither shall we go up? Our brethren have made our hearts melt, saying, [They are] a people greater and taller than we; the cities are great and walled up to heaven; and moreover we have seen the sons of the Anakim there.
Kote nou prale koulye a? Moun nou te voye yo dekouraje nou. Yo di nou moun ki nan peyi sa a pi fò pase nou, yo pi bèl wotè pase nou. Lavil yo gran anpil ak gwo ranpa byen wo ki rive jouk nan syèl la. Nou te menm wè kèk moun ras Anak yo la tou.
29 And I said unto you, Be not afraid, neither fear them;
Men, mwen di nou: Kè nou pa bezwen kase, nou pa bezwen pè moun sa yo.
30 Jehovah your God who goeth before you, he will fight for you, according to all that he did for you in Egypt before your eyes;
Seyè a, Bondye nou an, ap mache alatèt nou. Li pral goumen pou nou menm jan nou te wè l' fè l' la nan peyi Lejip
31 and in the wilderness where thou hast seen that Jehovah thy God bore thee, as a man doth bear his son, in all the way that ye went, until ye came to this place.
ak nan dezè a. Nou wè ki jan sou tout wout la li pa janm lage nou, tankou yon papa ki pa janm lage pitit li, jouk nou rive bò isit la.
32 But In this thing ye did not believe Jehovah your God,
Men, atout mwen te di nou sa, nou pa t' vle mete konfyans nou nan Seyè a, Bondye nou an,
33 who went in the way before you, to search you out a place for your encamping, in fire by night, to shew you by what way ye should go, and in the cloud by day.
li menm ki te pran devan nou sou tout wout la pou l' te ka jwenn kote pou nou moute kan nou. Lannwit, li te mache devan nou nan yon poto dife. Lajounen, nan yon gwo nwaj li te moutre nou chemen pou nou pran.
34 And Jehovah heard the voice of your words, and was wroth, and swore, saying,
Lè Seyè a tande jan nou t'ap plenyen, li te fache anpil, li fè sèman, li di:
35 None among these men, this evil generation, shall in any wise see that good land, which I swore to give unto your fathers!
Pa gen yonn nan tout move sije sa yo k'ap viv koulye a k'ap antre nan bon peyi mwen te pwomèt m'ap bay zansèt nou yo,
36 Except Caleb the son of Jephunneh, he shall see it, and to him will I give the land that he hath trodden upon, and to his children, because he hath wholly followed Jehovah.
an wetan Kalèb, pitit gason Jefoune a, ki va antre nan peyi sa a. M'a ba li peyi li te al espyonnen an, pou li ak pou pitit li yo, paske li te obeyi m' san gad dèyè.
37 Also Jehovah was angry with me on your account, saying, Thou also shalt not go in thither.
Nou lakòz Seyè a te fache ata avè m', epi li di m': Ou menm tou Moyiz, ou p'ap antre nan peyi a.
38 Joshua the son of Nun, who standeth before thee, he shall go in thither: strengthen him, for he shall cause Israel to inherit it.
Se Jozye, pitit gason Noun lan, k'ap sèvi avè ou la, ki va antre nan plas ou. Ankouraje l' tande, paske se li menm ki pou fè pèp Izrayèl la antre al pran peyi a.
39 And your little ones, of whom ye said, They shall be a prey, and your children, who this day know neither good nor evil, they shall go in thither, and unto them will I give it, and they shall possess it.
Men, se pitit nou yo, sa nou di ki tapral tonbe anba men lènmi nou yo, timoun nou yo ki koulye a poko konnen sa ki byen ak sa ki mal, se yo menm ki pral antre nan peyi a. Se yo menm mwen pral bay peyi a, se yo menm ki pral rete ladan l'.
40 But ye, turn, and take your journey into the wilderness by the way of the Red sea.
Men nou menm, tounen tounen nou nan dezè a! Pran chemen Lanmè Wouj la ankò!
41 — And ye answered and said unto me, We have sinned against Jehovah, we will go up and fight, according to all that Jehovah our God hath commanded us. And ye girded on every man his weapons of war, and ye would go presumptuously up the hill.
Lè sa a nou reponn mwen: Nou rekonèt nou peche kont Seyè a. Nou prale, epi n'a goumen jan Seyè a, Bondye nou an, te ban nou lòd la. Epi nou leve nou pran zam nou. Nou te kwè sa tapral fasil pou nou pran mòn yo.
42 And Jehovah said to me, Say unto them, Go not up, neither fight; for I am not among you; lest ye be smitten before your enemies.
Men, Seyè a di m' avèti nou: Piga n' al atake, piga n' al fè lènmi nou yo bat nou, paske li p'ap kanpe avèk nou.
43 And I spoke unto you, but ye would not hear, and ye rebelled against the word of Jehovah, and acted presumptuously, and went up the hill.
Mwen te pale nou, men nou pa t' koute m', nou derefize swiv lòd Seyè a te ban nou. Nou te konprann nou te fò kont kò nou pou n' te al pran mòn lan.
44 And the Amorite that dwelt on that hill came out against you, and chased you, like as bees do, and cut you in pieces in Seir, as far as Hormah.
Lè sa a, moun peyi Amori yo ki te rete nan mòn yo soti vin kontre ak nou. Tankou yon desen myèl, yo kouri dèyè nou, yo bat nou byen bat nan tout peyi Seyi a rive jouk Oma.
45 And ye returned and wept before Jehovah, but Jehovah would not listen to your voice, nor give ear unto you.
Lè nou tounen, nou kriye nan pye Seyè a, men Seyè a pa t' koute sa nou t'ap di l', li pa t' pran ka nou.
46 And ye abode in Kadesh many days, according unto the days that ye abode [there].
Se poutèt sa nou te blije pase tout tan sa a nan zòn Kadès la.
