< Deuteronomy 30 >
1 Now when all these things shall be come upon thee, the blessing or the curse, which I have set forth before thee, and thou shalt be touched with repentance of thy heart among all the nations, into which the Lord thy God shall have scattered thee,
“Konsa li va ye lè tout bagay sa yo fin vini sou nou, benediksyon an avèk madichon an ke mwen te mete devan nou pou nou sonje yo nan tout nasyon kote SENYÈ a va egzile nou yo,
2 And shalt return to him, and obey his commandments, as I command thee this day, thou and thy children, with all thy heart, and with all thy soul:
epi ou retounen kote SENYÈ Bondye ou, pou obeyi vwa Li ak tout ke e tout nanm ou, selon tout sa ke M kòmande ou jodi a, ou menm anplis ak fis ou yo.
3 The Lord thy God will bring back again thy captivity, and will have mercy on thee, and gather thee again out of all the nations, into which he scattered thee before.
Konsa SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, va restore nou apre kaptivite sila a e Li va vin gen konpasyon sou nou. Li va ranmase nou ankò sòti nan tout pèp kote SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, te gaye nou yo.
4 If thou be driven as far as the poles of heaven, the Lord thy God will fetch thee back from thence,
Si moun egzil sa yo nan lòt pwent tè a, soti la, SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, va ranmase nou. Epi soti la, Li va mennen nou tounen.
5 And will take thee to himself, and bring thee into the land which thy fathers possessed, and thou shalt possess it: and blessing thee, he will make thee more numerous than were thy fathers.
SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, va mennen nou antre nan peyi ke zansèt nou yo te posede a. Nou va posede li, epi Li va fè nou pwospere e vin miltipliye plis ke zansèt nou yo.
6 The Lord thy God will circumcise thy heart, and the heart of thy seed: that then mayst love the Lord thy God with all thy heart and with all thy soul, that thou mayst live.
Anplis, SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, va sikonsi kè nou ak kè desandan nou yo, pou renmen SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, avèk tout kè nou e avèk tout nanm nou, pou nou kapab viv.
7 And he will turn all these curses upon thy enemies, and upon them that hate and persecute thee.
SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, va aflije lènmi nou yo avèk tout madichon sa yo ansanm ak sila ki rayi nou yo, ki te pèsekite nou yo.
8 But thou shalt return, and hear the voice of the Lord thy God, and shalt do all the commandments which I command thee this day:
Konsa, nou va ankò obeyi SENYÈ a e obsève tout kòmandman li yo ke Mwen te kòmande nou jodi a.
9 And the Lord thy God will make thee abound in all the works of thy hands, in the fruit of thy womb, and in the fruit of thy cattle, in the fruitfulness of thy land, and in the plenty of all things. For the Lord will return to rejoice over thee in all good things, as he rejoiced in thy fathers:
Epi SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, va fè nou vin pwospere anpil nan travay men nou, nan fwi zantray nou yo, nan pòtre a bèt nou yo ak nan pwodwi ki sòti nan tè yo; paske SENYÈ a va ankò rejwi de nou pou bonte nou, jis jan ke Li te rejwi de zansèt nou yo,
10 Yet so if thou hear the voice of the Lord thy God, and keep his precepts and ceremonies, which are written in this law: and return to the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul.
si nou obeyi SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, pou kenbe kòmandman Li yo ak lwa Li yo ki ekri nan liv lalwa sila a, si nou vire vè SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, avèk tout kè ak nanm nou.
11 This commandment, that I command thee this day is not above thee, nor far off from thee:
“Paske kòmandman sila ke mwen bannou jodi a pa twò difisil pou nou, ni li pa twò wo pou nou pa rive kote l.
12 Nor is it in heaven, that thou shouldst say: Which of us can go up to heaven to bring it unto us, and we may hear and fulfill it in work?
Li pa nan syèl la, pou nou ta di: ‘Kilès ki va monte nan syèl la pou pran li pou nou e fè nou tande li, pou nou kapab swiv li?’
13 Nor is it beyond the sea: that thou mayst excuse thyself, and say: Which of us can cross the sea, and bring it unto us: that we may hear, and do that which is commanded?
Ni li pa lòtbò lanmè a, pou nou ta di: ‘Kilès k ap travèse lanmè a, pou pran li pou nou e fè nou tande li, pou nou kapab swiv li.’
14 But the word is very nigh unto thee, in thy mouth and in thy heart, that thou mayst do it.
Men pawòl la toupre nou, nan bouch nou ak nan kè nou, pou nou kapab swiv li.
15 Consider that I have set before thee this day life and good, and on the other hand death and evil:
Nou wè, jodi a Mwen te mete devan nou lavi avèk abondans, oswa lanmò avèk tout sa ki pa bon.
16 That thou mayst love the Lord thy God, and walk in his ways, and keep his commandments and ceremonies and judgments, and thou mayst live, and he may multiply thee, and bless thee in the land, which thou shalt go in to possess.
Nan tout sa mwen kòmande nou jodi a pou renmen SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, pou mache nan chemen Li yo, epi pou kenbe kòmandman Li yo avèk lwa Li yo ak jijman Li yo, pou nou kapab viv e miltipliye, e pou SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, kapab beni nou nan peyi kote nou ap antre pou posede a.
17 But if thy heart be turned away, so that thou wilt not hear, and being deceived with error thou adore strange gods, and serve them:
Men si kè nou detounen e nou refize obeyi, men nou mennen akote pou adore lòt dye yo e sèvi yo,
18 I foretell thee this day that thou shalt perish, and shalt remain but a short time in the land, to which thou shalt pass over the Jordan, and shalt go in to possess it.
Mwen deklare a nou jodi a ke nou va vrèman peri. Nou p ap pwolonje jou nou yo nan peyi kote nou ap travèse Jourdain an pou antre posede a.
19 I call heaven and earth to witness this day, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing. Choose therefore life, that both thou and thy seed may live:
Mwen rele syèl la avèk tè a pou fè temwayaj kont nou jodi a, ke mwen te mete devan nou lavi avèk lanmò, benediksyon avèk malediksyon. Pou sa, chwazi lavi pou nou kapab viv, nou menm avèk desandan nou yo,
20 And that thou mayst love the Lord thy God, and obey his voice, and adhere to him (for he is thy life, and the length of thy days, ) that thou mayst dwell in the land, for which the Lord swore to thy fathers Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob that he would give it them.
nan renmen SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an ak nan obeyisans a vwa Li ak nan kenbe fèm a Li. Paske sa se lavi nou ak pwolongasyon a jou nou yo, pou nou kapab viv nan peyi ke SENYÈ a te sèmante a zansèt nou yo; a Abraham, Isaac e a Jacob, pou bay yo a.”
