< Deuteronomy 29 >
1 These are the wordes of the couenant which the Lord commanded Moses to make with the children of Israel in the lande of Moab beside the couenant which hee had made with them in Horeb.
Men pawòl ki te nan kontra Seyè a te bay Moyiz lòd pase ak moun pèp Izrayèl yo, lè yo te nan peyi Moab la. Kontra sa a te vin mete sou kontra li te deja fè ak yo sou Mòn Orèb la.
2 And Moses called all Israel, and said vnto them, Ye haue seene all that the Lord did before your eyes in the lande of Egypt vnto Pharaoh and vnto all his seruantes, and vnto all his lande,
Moyiz fè rele tout pèp Izrayèl la, li di yo konsa: -Nou wè ak je nou tou sa Seyè a te fè wa peyi Lejip la, moun ki t'ap travay ak li yo ak tout peyi a.
3 The great tentations which thine eyes haue seene, those great miracles and wonders:
Nou wè ak je nou tout gwo malè li te voye sou yo, tout mirak ak tout mèvèy li te fè.
4 Yet the Lord hath not giuen you an heart to perceiue, and eyes to see, and eares to heare, vnto this day.
Men, jouk koulye a, Seyè a poko louvri lespri nou ase pou nou konprann byen konprann tou sa nou wè ak tou sa nou tande.
5 And I haue led you fourty yere in the wildernesse: your clothes are not waxed olde vpon you, neyther is thy shooe waxed olde vpon thy foote.
Pandan karantan, mwen pran men nou, mwen moutre nou chemen pou nou swiv nan dezè a. Rad sou nou pa t' janm chire, sapat nan pye nou pa t' janm fini.
6 Ye haue eaten no bread, neither drunke wine, nor strong drinke, that ye might know how that I am the Lord your God.
Nou pa t' gen pen pou nou manje, ni diven, ni ankenn bwason pou nou bwè, men Seyè a te ban nou tou sa nou bezwen pou n' te ka konnen se li menm, Seyè a, ki Bondye nou an.
7 After, ye came vnto this place, and Sihon King of Heshbon, and Og King of Bashan came out against vs vnto battell, and we slewe them,
Rive nou rive isit la, Siyon, wa Esbon an ak Og, wa Bazan an, soti vin atake nou. Nou bat yo byen bat.
8 And tooke their lande, and gaue it for an inheritance vnto the Reubenites, and to the Gadites, and to the halfe tribe of Manasseh.
Nou pran peyi yo a bay moun branch fanmi Woubenn yo, moun branch fanmi Gad yo ansanm ak mwatye nan moun branch fanmi Manase yo pou yo rete.
9 Keepe therefore the wordes of this couenant and doe them, that ye may prosper in all that ye shall doe.
N'a kenbe kontra sa a. N'a fè tou sa ki di ladan l' pou nou ka reyisi nan tout sa n'ap fè.
10 Ye stand this day euery one of you before the Lord your God: your heads of your tribes, your Elders and your officers, eue al ye me of Israel:
Jòdi a, men nou tout nou reyini la a devan Seyè a, Bondye nou an, nou menm chèf tout branch fanmi nou yo, tout chèf fanmi nou yo ak tout lòt chèf yo, ak tout lòt gason nan pèp Izrayèl la,
11 Your children, your wiues, and thy stranger that is in thy campe from the hewer of thy wood, vnto the drawer of thy water,
tout pitit nou yo, madanm nou yo, tout moun lòt nasyon k'ap viv nan mitan nou yo, depi sa k'ap koupe bwa jouk sa ki la pou al chache dlo pou nou,
12 That thou shouldest passe into the couenant of the Lord thy God, and into his othe which the Lord thy God maketh with thee this day,
nou vin pran angajman sou sèman pou nou asepte tout egzijans kontra Seyè a, Bondye nou an, ap pase ak nou jòdi a.
13 For to establish thee this day a people vnto him selfe, and that he may be vnto thee a God, as he hath said vnto thee, and as he hath sworne vnto thy fathers, Abraham, Izhak, and Iaakob.
Konsa depi jòdi a, se pèp li nou ye, se Bondye pa nou li ye, jan l' te di l' la, jan l' te pwomèt Abraram, Izarak ak Jakòb, zansèt nou yo.
14 Neither make I this couenant, and this othe with you onely,
Men, se pa avèk nou menm sèlman l'ap pase kontra li te fè nou sèmante pou n' kenbe a.
15 But aswel with him that standeth here with vs this day before the Lord our God, as with him that is not here with vs this day.
Men se pa sèlman ak nou tout ki la jòdi a devan mwen, men tou se avèk tout pitit nou yo ki poko fèt.
16 For ye knowe, how we haue dwelt in the land of Egypt, and how we passed thorowe the middes of the nations, which ye passed by.
Nou konnen byen pwòp ki kalite lavi nou t'ap mennen nan pèyi Lejip la ak ki jan nou te pase nan mitan moun lòt nasyon nou te kontre sou wout nou.
17 And ye haue seene their abominations and their idoles (wood, and stone, siluer and golde) which were among them,
Nou te wè tout vye bagay yo t'ap fè, ak tout zidòl fèt an bwa, osinon ak wòch, osinon an ajan oswa an lò yo te gen lakay yo.
18 That there should not be among you man nor woman, nor familie, nor tribe, which should turne his heart away this day from the Lord our God, to goe and serue the gods of these nations, and that there shoulde not be among you any roote that bringeth forth gall and wormewood,
Piga pesonn nan mitan nou, ni fanm ni gason, nan ankenn fanmi ni branch fanmi pèp la vire do bay Seyè a, Bondye nou an, pou y' al sèvi zidòl moun sa yo. Piga pesonn nan mitan nou tounen yon move grenn k'ap detounen pèp la, k'ap anpwazonnen l'.
19 So that when he heareth the words of this curse, he blesse him selfe in his heart, saying, I shall haue peace, although I walke according to the stubburnes of mine owne heart, thus adding drunkennesse to thirst.
Si yon moun, apre li fin tande sa ki di nan kontra a ak tout egzijans ki ladan l' yo, mete nan tèt li se bon li bon, epi li di nan kè l': Koulye a, mwen pa bezwen pè anyen. Mwen gen dwa fè sa m' pi pito, sa ap lakòz nou tout ap mouri, inonsan kou koupab.
20 The Lord will not be mercifull vnto him, but then the wrath of the Lord and his ielousie shall smoke against that man, and euery curse that is written in this booke, shall light vpon him, and the Lord shall put out his name from vnder heauen,
Bondye p'ap janm padonnen yon moun konsa. Okontre, Bondye, ki yon Bondye ki fè jalouzi anpil pou moun pa li yo, ap fache yon sèl fache sou nonm sa a, tout madichon ki ekri nan liv sa a pral tonbe sou li. Bondye ap fè non l' disparèt nèt sou latè.
21 And the Lord shall separate him vnto euil out of all the tribes of Israel, according vnto all the curses of the couenant, that is written in the booke of this Lawe.
Seyè a va wete l' nan mitan rès moun pèp Izrayèl yo, l'a pini l' dapre madichon n'a jwenn nan kontra ki ekri nan liv lalwa Seyè a.
22 So that the generatio to come, euen your children, that shall rise vp after you, and the stranger, that shall come from a farre lande, shall say, when they shall see the plagues of this lande, and the diseases thereof, wherewith the Lord shall smite it:
Moun k'ap vin apre nou yo, pitit nou yo k'ap fèt apre nou ansanm ak moun lòt nasyon k'ap soti byen lwen yo, va wè malè ki tonbe sou peyi a ak tout maladi Seyè a voye nan peyi a.
23 (For all that land shall burne with brimstone and salt: it shall not be sowen, nor bring forth, nor any grasse shall growe therein, like as in the ouerthrowing of Sodom, and Gomorah, Admah, and Zeboim, which the Lord ouerthrewe in his wrath and in his anger)
Y'a wè tout peyi a kouvri anba souf ak sèl, tout tè a boule. Lè sa a, moun p'ap ka simen anyen nan tè a, ankenn plant p'ap ka pran ladan l'. Pa menm vye zèb p'ap ka pouse. Peyi nou an va tankou lavil Sodòm ak Gomò, tankou lavil Adma ak Siboyen, lavil Seyè a te detwi nèt lè l' te ankòlè a, lè l' te move anpil la.
24 Then shall all nations say, Wherefore hath the Lord done thus vnto this lande? how fierce is this great wrath?
Lè sa a, tout moun sou latè va mande: Poukisa Seyè a fè moun sa yo sa? Pouki tout kòlè sa a sou peyi a?
25 And they shall answere, Because they haue forsaken the couenant of the Lord God of their fathers, which he had made with them, when he brought them out of the land of Egypt,
Y'a reponn yo: Se paske yo pa t' kenbe kontra Seyè a, Bondye zansèt yo a, kontra li te pase ak yo lè li t'ap fè yo soti kite peyi Lejip la.
26 And went and serued other gods and worshipped them: euen gods which they knewe not, and which had giuen them nothing,
Yo leve al sèvi lòt bondye yo pa t' janm konnen anvan. Y' al mete ajenou devan bondye Seyè a pa t' ba yo pou yo sèvi.
27 Therefore the wrath of the Lord waxed hot against this land, to bring vpon it euery curse that is written in this booke.
Se konsa Seyè a vin fache anpil sou moun peyi sa a. Li sitèlman fache, li fè tout madichon ki ekri nan liv lalwa a tonbe sou yo.
28 And ye Lord hath rooted them out of their land in anger, and in wrath, and in great indignation, and hath cast them into another land, as appeareth this day.
Seyè a fè kòlè, li move, li fache, li rache yo met deyò nan peyi yo a, l' al jete yo nan yon lòt peyi etranje kote yo ye koulye a.
29 The secret things belong to the Lord our God, but the things reueiled belong vnto vs, and to our children for euer, that we may doe all the wordes of this Lawe.
Gen bagay nou pa konnen, se bagay Bondye kenbe nan kè l' pou li menm. Men, bagay li fè nou konnen yo, se bagay nou menm ak pitit nou yo pa dwe janm bliye pou nou ka fè tou sa li mande nou fè nan lalwa a.
