Deuteronomy 4
1 Nowe therefore hearken, O Israel, vnto the ordinances and to the lawes which I teache you to doe, that ye may liue and goe in, and possesse the lande, which the Lord God of your fathers giueth you.
“Koulye a, O Israël, koute règleman avèk jijman ke mwen ap enstwi nou pou nou fè, pou nou kapab viv. Antre ladann e pran posesyon a peyi a ke SENYÈ a, Bondye a zansèt nou yo, ap bannou.
2 Ye shall put nothing vnto the word which I command you, neither shall ye take ought there from, that ye may keepe the commandements of the Lord your God which I commande you.
Nou p ap mete yon mo sou sa ke mwen ap kòmande nou an ni retire nan li; pou nou kapab kenbe kòmandman a SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, ke mwen te kòmande nou yo.
3 Your eyes haue seene what the Lord did because of Baal-Peor, for al the men that folowed Baal-Peor the Lord thy God hath destroyed euery one from among you.
“Zye nou gen tan wè sa ke SENYÈ a te fè nan ka Baal-Peor a, paske tout moun ki te swiv Baal-Peor yo, SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, te detwi yo nan mitan nou.
4 But ye that did cleaue vnto the Lord your God, are aliue euery one of you this day.
Men nou menm ki te kenbe fèm a SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, nou vivan jodi a, nou chak.
5 Behold, I haue taught you ordinances, and lawes, as the Lord my God commanded me, that ye should doe euen so within the land whither ye goe to possesse it.
“Nou wè, mwen te enstwi nou règleman avèk jijman yo jis jan SENYÈ a, Bondye mwen an, te kòmande mwen an, pou nou ta fè konsa nan peyi kote nou ap antre pou posede a.
6 Keepe them therefore, and doe them; for that is your wisdome, and your vnderstanding in the sight of the people, which shall heare all these ordinances, and shall say, Onely this people is wise, and of vnderstanding, and a great nation.
Pou sa, kenbe yo e fè yo paske sa se sajès avèk konprann nou devan zye a tout pèp ki va tande tout règleman sa yo e ki va di: ‘Anverite, nasyon sa a se yon pèp ki saj e ki gen konprann.’
7 For what nation is so great, vnto whome the gods come so neere vnto them, as the Lord our God is neere vnto vs, in all that we call vnto him for?
Paske ki gran nasyon ki genyen, avèk yon dye ki osi touprè li kòm SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, nenpòt lè nou rele Li?
8 And what nation is so great, that hath ordinances and lawes so righteous, as all this Lawe, which I set before you this day?
Oswa ki gran nasyon ki genyen avèk règleman ak jijman ki dwat tankou sa ke mwen ap mete devan nou jodi a?
9 But take heede to thy selfe, and keepe thy soule diligently, that thou forget not the thinges which thine eyes haue seene, and that they depart not out of thine heart, all the dayes of thy life: but teach them thy sonnes, and thy sonnes sonnes:
“Sèlman, veye tèt ou e kenbe nanm ou avèk dilijans, pou ou pa bliye bagay ke zye ou te wè yo; pou yo pa kite kè nou pandan tout jou lavi ou; men fè fis ou yo ak fis a fis ou yo konnen yo.
10 Forget not the day that thou stoodest before the Lord thy God in Horeb, when the Lord said vnto me, Gather me the people together, and I wil cause them heare my wordes, that they may learne to feare me all the dayes that they shall liue vpon the earth, and that they may teache their children:
Sonje jou ke ou te kanpe devan SENYÈ a, Bondye ou an, nan mòn Horeb, lè SENYÈ a te di mwen: ‘Rasanble pèp Mwen an pou Mwen kapab kite yo tande pawòl Mwen, pou yo kapab aprann gen lakrent Mwen pou tout jou ke yo ap viv sou latè yo; epi pou yo kapab enstwi pitit pa yo.’
11 Then came you neere and stoode vnder the mountaine, and the mountaine burnt with fire vnto the mids of heauen, and there was darkenesse, cloudes and mist.
“Nou te pwoche e ou te kanpe nan pye mòn nan. Mòn nan te brile avèk dife jis rive nan kè syèl la: tenèb, nwaj avèk fènwa.
12 And the Lord spake vnto you out of the middes of the fire, and ye heard the voyce of the wordes, but sawe no similitude, saue a voyce.
Epi SENYÈ a te pale avèk nou soti nan mitan dife a: nou te tande son pawòl yo, men nou pa t wè okenn fòm——sèlman yon vwa.
13 Then hee declared vnto you his couenant which he commanded you to doe, euen the ten commandements, and wrote them vpon two tables of stone.
Konsa, Li te deklare bay nou akò ke Li te kòmande nou pou fè a, sa vle di, Dis Kòmandman yo. Li te ekri yo sou de tab an wòch.
14 And the Lord commanded me that same time, that I should teach you ordinances and lawes, which ye should obserue in the lande, whither ye goe, to possesse it.
SENYÈ a te kòmande mwen nan tan sa a pou enstwi nou lwa avèk règleman li yo, pou nou ta kapab fè yo nan peyi kote nou pral travèse pou posede a.
15 Take therefore good heede vnto your selues: for ye sawe no image in the day that the Lord spake vnto you in Horeb out of the middes of the fire:
“Pou sa, veye tèt nou, akoz ke nou pa t wè okenn fòm nan jou ke SENYÈ a te pale avèk nou nan Horeb la, soti nan mitan dife a,
16 That ye corrupt not your selues, and make you a grauen image or representation of any figure: whither it be the likenes of male or female,
pou nou pa aji yon jan konwonpi, e fè yon imaj taye pou nou menm nan fòm a okenn bagay, ki sanble a ni mal, ni femèl,
17 The likenes of any beast that is on earth, or the likenesse of any fethered foule that flieth in the aire:
sanblab a nenpòt bèt ki sou latè, oswa sanblab a nenpòt zwazo a zèl ki vole anlè,
18 Or the likenesse of any thing that creepeth on the earth, or the likenesse of any fish that is in the waters beneath the earth,
ki sanblab a nenpòt sa ki ranpe atè, ki sanblab a nenpòt pwason ki nan dlo anba tè a.
19 And lest thou lift vp thine eyes vnto heauen, and when thou seest the sunne and the moone and the starres with all the host of heauen, shouldest bee driuen to worship them and serue them, which the Lord thy God hath distributed to all people vnder the whole heauen.
Veye ke nou pa leve zye nou vè syèl la pou wè solèy la, lalin avèk zetwal yo, avèk tout lame syèl la, e mennen pou adore ak sèvi yo, sila ke SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, te chwazi pou tout lòt pèp anba tout syèl la.
20 But the Lord hath taken you and brought you out of the yron fornace: out of Egypt to be vnto him a people and inheritance, as appeareth this day.
Men SENYÈ a te pran nou e mennen nou sòti nan founo fè a, an Égypte, pou nou kapab yon pèp pou pwòp posesyon pa Li, tankou jodi a.
21 And the Lord was angrie with me for your words, and sware that I should not goe ouer Iorden, and that I should not goe in vnto that good land, which the Lord thy God giueth thee for an inheritance.
“Alò, SENYÈ a te fache avè m akoz de nou, e Li te sèmante pou mwen pa t travèse Jourdain an; epi pou Mwen pa ta antre nan bon peyi ke SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, ap bannou kòm eritaj nou an.
22 For I must die in this land, and shall not go ouer Iorden: but ye shall goe ouer, and possesse that good land.
Paske mwen va mouri nan peyi sila a. Mwen p ap travèse Jourdain an, men nou va travèse e pran posesyon a bon peyi sila a.
23 Take heede vnto your selues, least ye forget the couenant of the Lord your God which hee made with you, and least ye make you any grauen image, or likenes of any thing, as the Lord thy God hath charged thee.
Pou sa, veye nou, pou nou pa bliye akò a SENYÈ a, ke Li te fè avèk nou, e fè pou nou menm yon imaj taye nan okenn fòm kont sila SENYÈ Bondye nou an, te kòmande nou an.
24 For the Lord thy God is a consuming fire, and a ielous God.
Paske SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, se yon dife voras, yon Bondye ki jalou.
25 When thou shalt beget children and childrens children, and shalt haue remained long in the land, if ye corrupt your selues, and make any grauen image, or likenes of any thing, and worke euill in the sight of the Lord thy God, to prouoke him to anger,
“Lè nou devni papa a pitit, pitit a pitit, gen tan rete lontan nan peyi a, aji yon jan konwonpi, fè yon zidòl nan fòm a nenpòt bagay, e fè sa ki mal nan zye a SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, pou pwovoke Li a lakòlè,
26 I call heauen and earth to record against you this day, that ye shall shortly perish from the land, whereunto ye goe ouer Iorden to possesse it: ye shall not prolong your dayes therein, but shall vtterly be destroyed.
Mwen rele syèl la avèk tè a kòm temwen kont nou jodi a, ke nou va vrèman peri vit nan peyi kote nou ap pase Jourdain an pou posede a. Nou p ap viv pandan anpil tan ladann, men nou va detwi nèt.
27 And the Lord shall scatter you among the people, and ye shall be left few in nomber among the nations, whither the Lord shall bring you:
SENYÈ a va gaye nou pami pèp yo; epi nou va rete pa anpil an kantite pami nasyon kote SENYÈ a bourade nou yo.
28 And there ye shall serue gods, euen ye worke of mans hand, wood, and stone, which neither see, nor heare, nor eate, nor smelll.
La, nou va sèvi dye yo, zèv men a lòm yo, bwa avèk wòch, ki pa wè ni tande, ni manje ni santi anyen.
29 But if from thence thou shalt seeke the Lord thy God, thou shalt finde him, if thou seeke him with all thine heart, and with all thy soule.
Men soti la, nou va chache SENYÈ a; epi nou va jwenn Li si nou chache Li avèk tout kè nou e avèk tout nanm nou.
30 When thou art in tribulation, and all these things are come vpon thee, at the length if thou returne to the Lord thy God, and bee obedient vnto his voyce,
Lè nou nan gwo pwoblèm e tout bagay sa yo rive nou; nan dènye jou yo, nou va retounen a SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, e nou va koute vwa Li.
31 (For the Lord thy God is a mercifull God) he will not forsake thee, neither destroy thee, nor forget the couenant of thy fathers, which hee sware vnto them.
Paske SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, se yon Bondye ki plen avèk mizerikòd; Li p ap lage nou, ni detwi nou ni bliye akò avèk zansèt nou yo ke Li te sèmante a yo menm.
32 For inquire now of the dayes that are past, which were before thee, since the day that God created man vpon the earth, and aske from the one ende of heauen vnto the other, if there came to passe such a great thing as this, or whether any such like thing hath bene heard.
Anverite, mande, koulye a, konsènan ansyen jou avan nou yo, soti jou ke Bondye te kreye lòm sou latè a, e mande soti nan yon pwent syèl la jis rive nan lòt la. Èske yon gran bagay konsa janm fèt, oswa èske yo janm tande anyen konsa?
33 Did euer people heare the voyce of God speaking out of the middes of a fire, as thou hast heard, and liued?
Èske okenn pèp te janm tande vwa Bondye pale ak yo soti nan mitan dife, jan nou te tande l e viv la?
34 Or hath God assayed to go and take him a nation from among nations, by tentations, by signes, and by wonders, and by warre, and by a mightie hand, and by a stretched out arme, and by great feare, according vnto all that the Lord your God did vnto you in Egypt before your eyes?
Oswa èske yon dye te janm eseye pran pou li menm yon nasyon soti nan yon lòt nasyon pa eprèv, pa sign ak mirak avèk lagè, pa yon men pwisan, pa yon bwa lonje e pa gran bagay etonan, jan SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, te fè pou nou an Égypte devan zye nou?
35 Vnto thee it was shewed, that thou mightest knowe, that the Lord hee is God, and that there is none but he alone.
A nou menm, li te montre ke nou ta kapab konnen ke SENYÈ a, se Bondye; nanpwen lòt sof ke Li menm.
36 Out of heauen hee made thee heare his voyce to instruct thee, and vpon earth he shewed thee his great fire, and thou heardest his voyce out of the middes of the fire.
Soti nan syèl yo, Li te kite nou tande vwa Li pou korije nou; epi sou latè, Li te kite nou wè gran dife Li a; epi nou te tande pawòl Li soti nan mitan dife a.
37 And because hee loued thy fathers, therefore hee chose their seede after them, and hath brought thee out of Egypt in his sight by his mightie power,
Paske Li te renmen zansèt nou yo; pou sa, Li te chwazi desandan apre yo. Epi Li menm, pou kont Li, Li te mennen nou sòti an Égypte avèk gran pouvwa Li,
38 To thrust out nations greater and mightier then thou, before thee, to bring thee in, and to giue thee their land for inheritance: as appeareth this day.
epi te pouse devan nou tout nasyon ki pi gran e ki pi pwisan ke nou menm yo, pou mennen nou antre pou bannou teren pa yo kòm eritaj, jan li ye nan jodi a.
39 Vnderstande therefore this day, and consider in thine heart, that the Lord, he is God in heauen aboue, and vpon the earth beneath: there is none other.
Pou sa, konnen jodi a e fè sa antre nan kè nou, ke SENYÈ a, Li menm, se Bondye anwo nan syèl la e anba sou tè a; nanpwen lòt.
40 Thou shalt keepe therefore his ordinances, and his commandements which I commaund thee this day, that it may goe well with thee, and with thy children after thee, and that thou mayst prolong thy dayes vpon the earth, which the Lord thy God giueth thee for euer.
Pou sa, nou va kenbe règleman Li yo avèk kòmandman Li yo ke mwen ap bannou jodi a, pou li kapab ale byen avèk nou e avèk zanfan apre nou yo; epi pou nou kapab viv anpil tan sou tè ke SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, ap bannou pou tout tan an.”
41 Then Moses separated three cities on this side of Iorden toward the sunne rising:
Epi Moïse te mete apa twa vil lòtbò Jourdain an vè lès,
42 That the slayer should flee thither, which had killed his neighbour at vnwares, and hated him not in time past, might flee, I say, vnto one of those cities, and liue:
pou yon moun ki touye yon moun ta kapab sove ale, ki te san entansyon touye vwazen li san ke li pa t gen rayisman anvè li nan tan pase yo; pou li ta kab sove ale nan youn nan vil sa yo:
43 That is, Bezer in the wildernesse, in the plaine countrey of the Reubenites: and Ramoth in Gilead among the Gadites: and Golan in Bashan among them of Manasseh.
Betser, nan dezè sou platon an pou Ribenit yo, Ramoth nan Galaad pou Gadit yo ak Golan nan Basan pou Manasit yo.
44 So this is the law which Moses set before the children of Israel.
Alò, sa se lalwa ke Moïse te mete devan fis Israël yo;
45 These are the witnesses, and the ordinances, and the lawes which Moses declared to the children of Israel after they came out of Egypt,
sa yo se temwayaj avèk lwa avèk règleman ke Moïse te pale a fis Israël yo, lè yo te sòti an Égypte,
46 On this side Iorden, in the valley ouer against Beth-peor, in the land of Sihon King of the Amorites, which dwelt at Heshbon, whom Moses and the children of Israel smote, after they were come out of Egypt:
anfas Jourdain an, nan vale ki anfas Beth-Peor a, nan peyi a wa Sihon an, wa Amoreyen yo ki te rete Hesbon an, ke Moïse avèk fis Israël yo te bat lè yo te sòti an Égypte la.
47 And they possessed his land, and the lande of Og King of Bashan, two Kings of the Amorites, which were on this side Iorden towarde the sunne rising:
Yo te pran posesyon a teren pa li an avèk teren Og la, wa Basan an, de wa Amoreyen ki te anfas Jourdain yo vè lès,
48 From Aroer, which is by the banke of the riuer Arnon, euen vnto mount Sion, which is Hermon,
soti nan Aroër ki vin touche vale Arnon an, jis rive nan Mòn Sion (sa vle di Hermon),
49 And all the plaine by Iorden Eastwarde, euen vnto the Sea, of ye plaine, vnder the springs of Pisgah.
avèk tout Araba anfas Jourdain an vè lès, jis rive nan lanmè Araba, nan pye pant mòn Pisga a.
