Deuteronomy 26
1 And when thou art come into the land which the Lord thy God will give thee to possess, and hast conquered it, and dwellest in it:
Lè n'a rive nan peyi Seyè a, Bondye nou an, ban nou pou rele nou pa nou an, lè n'a fin pran tout peyi a pou nou pou nou rete ladan l',
2 Thou shalt take the first of all thy fruits, and put then? in a basket, and shalt go to the place which the Lord thy God shall choose, that his name may be invocated there:
chak moun va pran premye donn tout pyebwa nan jaden li fè sou tè Seyè a, Bondye li a, va ba li, l'a mete yo nan yon panyen, epi l'a pote l' kote Seyè a te chwazi pou l' rete nan mitan nou an.
3 And thou shalt go to the priest that shall be in those days, and say to him: I profess this day before the Lord thy God, that I am come into the land, for which he swore to our fathers, that he would give it us.
Li aval jwenn prèt ki desèvis lè sa a, epi l'a di l': -Mwen deklare jòdi a, devan Seyè a, Bondye mwen an, mwen rekonèt mwen antre nan peyi li te pwomèt li t'ap bay zansèt nou yo.
4 And the priest taking the basket at thy hand, shall set it before the altar of the Lord thy God:
Prèt la va pran panyen an nan men li, l'a depoze l' devan lòtèl Seyè a, Bondye nou an.
5 And thou shalt speak thus in the sight of the Lord thy God: The Syrian pursued my father, who went down into Egypt, and sojourned there in a very small number, and grew into a nation great and strong and of an infinite multitude.
Lè sa a, moun k'ap fè ofrann lan va pran lapawòl devan Seyè a, Bondye nou an, l'a fè deklarasyon sa a: -Zansèt mwen te yon moun peyi Aram ki t'ap pwonmennen mache toupatou. Yon jou, li desann nan peyi Lejip ak moun pa l' yo ki pa t' anpil. Yo pase kèk tan nan peyi a, yo tounen yon gwo nasyon ki te fò ak anpil anpil moun ladan l'.
6 And the Egyptians afflicted us, and persecuted us, laying on us most grievous burdens:
Moun peyi Lejip yo tonbe maltrete nou, yo malmennen nou, yo fòse nou travay di tankou esklav.
7 And we cried to the Lord God of our fathers: who heard us, and looked down upon our affliction, and labour, and distress:
Lè sa a, nou rele Seyè a, Bondye zansèt nou yo, pou l' vin ede nou. Li tande lapriyè nou. Li wè nan ki mizè nou te ye, li wè tout lapenn ki te nan kè nou, li wè jan yo t'ap peze nou.
8 And brought us out of Egypt with a strong hand, and a stretched out arm, with great terror, with signs and wonders:
Seyè a fè nou soti kite peyi Lejip la ak gwo fòs ponyèt li, li te fè anpil mirak ak anpil mèvèy, bagay ki te fè moun pè anpil.
9 And brought us into this place, and gave us this land flowing with milk and honey.
Apre sa, li mennen nou isit la, li ban nou bèl tè sa a, kote lèt ak siwo myèl ap koule tankou dlo.
10 And therefore now I offer the firstfruits of the land which the Lord hath given me. And thou shalt leave them in the sight of the ford thy God, adoring the Lord thy God.
Se sa ki fè koulye a, Seyè, mwen pote ba ou pi bèl fwi nan premye rekòt ou ban mwen nan peyi a. Apre sa, nonm lan va depoze panyen an devan Seyè a, Bondye nou an, l'a mete ajenou devan l'.
11 And thou shalt feast in all the good things which the Lord thy God hath given thee, and thy house, thou and the Levite, and the stranger that is with thee.
Lèfini, li menm ak tout moun lakay li, l'a fè fèt pou tout bon bagay sa yo Seyè a te ba li. L'a fè moun Levi yo ansanm ak moun lòt nasyon k'ap viv nan mitan nou yo fete ansanm ak li tou.
12 When thou hast made an end of tithing all thy fruits, in the third year of tithes thou shalt give it to the Levite, and to the stranger, and to the fatherless, and to the widow, that they may eat within thy gates, and be filled:
Chak twazan n'a bay ladim, ki vle di yon dizyèm tout bagay nou rekòlte. N'a ranmase sa n'ap bay la, n'a mache nan tout lavil nou yo, n'a bay prèt yo, moun lòt nasyon yo, timoun san papa yo ak vèv yo, pou yo tout ka manje plen vant yo.
13 And thou shalt speak thus in the sight of the Lord thy God: I have taken that which was sanctified out of my house, and I have given it to the Levite, and to the stranger, and to the fatherless, and to the widow, as thou hast commanded me: I have not transgressed thy commandments nor forgotten thy precepts.
Lèfini, n'a parèt devan lòtèl Seyè a, Bondye nou an, n'a di l': -Mwen pa kite lakay mwen anyen nan sa mwen fèt pou mete apa pou ou. Mwen mache bay prèt yo, moun lòt nasyon yo, timoun san papa ak vèv yo, dapre lòd ou te ban mwen. Mwen fè tou sa ou te mande m' fè sou keksyon sa a. Mwen pa bliye anyen nan tou sa ou di m'.
14 I have not eaten of them is my mourning, nor separated them for any uncleanness, nor spent any thing of them in funerals. I have obeyed the voice of the Lord my God, and have done all things as thou hast commanded me.
Mwen pa t' manje ladan yo lè mwen te nan lapenn, ni lè mwen pa t' nan kondisyon pou fè sèvis pou ou. Ni mwen pa t' wete anyen ladan l' pou m' fè ofrann bay mò. Seyè, Bondye mwen, mwen te obeyi ou, mwen te fè tou sa ou te ban m' lòd fè sou keksyon sa a.
15 Look from thy sanctuary, and thy high habitation of heaven, and bless thy people Israel, and the land which thou hast given us, as thou didst swear to our fathers, a land flowing with milk and honey.
Rete nan syèl la, nan kay ki apa nèt pou ou a, voye je ou gade pèp ou a. Beni pèp Izrayèl la ansanm ak tè ou te ban nou an dapre pwomès ou te fè zansèt nou yo. Beni peyi kote lèt ak siwo myèl ap koule tankou dlo a.
16 This day the Lord thy God hath commanded thee to do these commandments and judgments: and to keep and fulfill them with all thy heart, and with all thy soul.
Seyè a, Bondye nou an, pase nou lòd jòdi a pou nou swiv tout lwa ak tout regleman sa yo. N'a kenbe yo, n'a fè sa yo mande nou la a ak tout kè nou ak tout nanm nou.
17 Thou hast chosen the Lord this day to be thy God, and to walk in his ways and keep his ceremonies, and precepts, and judgments, and obey his command.
Jòdi a nou fè deklarasyon nou bay Seyè a: Nou di se li ki Bondye nou. Nou pwomèt pou nou toujou mache jan li vle l' la, pou nou fè tou sa ki nan lwa, nan lòd ak nan regleman li yo pou nou toujou koute sa l' di nou.
18 And the Lord hath chosen thee this day, to be his peculiar people, as he hath spoken to thee, and to keep all his commandments:
Jòdi a tou, Seyè a te asepte nou pou pèp li renmen anpil la, jan l' te fè nou pwomès la. Epi li pase nou lòd pou nou fè tou sa l'a mande nou fè.
19 And to make thee higher than all nations which he hath created, to his own praise, and name, and glory: that thou mayst be a holy people of the Lord thy God, as he hath spoken.
L'ap fè nou tounen nasyon ki pi gran pase tout lòt nasyon li te fè yo. N'a gen pouvwa pase yo, n'a gen repitasyon pase yo, y'a respekte nou pase yo. Wi, n'a yon pèp k'ap viv apa nèt pou Seyè a, Bondye nou an, jan l' te di l' la.
