Deuteronomy 8
1 Ye shall keepe all the commandements which I command thee this day, for to doe them: that ye may liue, and be multiplied, and goe in, and possesse the land which the Lord sware vnto your fathers.
“Tout kòmandman ke Mwen ap kòmande nou jodi a, nou va fè atansyon pou fè yo, pou nou kapab viv, miltipliye, e antre ladann pou posede peyi ke SENYÈ a te sèmante a zansèt nou yo.
2 And thou shalt remember all ye way which the Lord thy God led thee this fourtie yeere in the wildernesse, for to humble thee and to proue thee, to knowe what was in thine heart, whether thou wouldest keepe his commandements or no.
“Nou va sonje tout jan ke SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, te mennen nou nan dezè a pandan karantan sila yo, pou Li te kapab fè nou vin enb e pase nou a leprèv, pou konnen kisa ki te nan kè nou, pou wè si nou pa tap kenbe kòmandman Li yo.
3 Therefore he humbled thee, and made thee hungry, and fed thee with MAN, which thou knewest not, neither did thy fathers know it, that he might teache thee that man liueth not by bread onely, but by euery worde that proceedeth out of the mouth of the Lord, doth a man liue.
“Li te fè nou vin enb e grangou. Epi konsa, Li te bannou manje lamàn ke nou pa t janm konnen, ni zansèt nou yo pa t konnen, pou Li te kapab fè nou konprann ke lòm pa viv sèlman pa pen, men lòm viv pa tout bagay ki sòti nan bouch SENYÈ a.
4 Thy raiment waxed not olde vpon thee, neither did thy foote swell those fourtie yeeres.
Rad nou yo pa t epwize sou nou, ni pye nou pa t anfle pandan karantan sila yo.
5 Knowe therefore in thine heart, that as a man nourtereth his sonne, so the Lord thy God nourtereth thee.
Konsa, nou fèt pou konnen nan kè nou, ke SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, t ap korije nou jis jan ke yon mesye korije fis li.
6 Therefore shalt thou keepe the commandements of the Lord thy God, that thou mayest walke in his wayes, and feare him.
“Pou sa, nou va kenbe kòmandman a SENYÈ yo, Bondye nou an, pou mache nan chemen Li an, e pou krent Li.
7 For the Lord thy God bringeth thee into a good land, a land in the which are riuers of water and fountaines, and depthes that spring out of valleis and mountaines:
Paske SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, ap mennen nou antre nan yon bon peyi, yon peyi ki gen anpil ti rivyè ak sous dlo; sous k ap koule, k ap kouri nan vale ak ti mòn yo;
8 A land of wheate and barley, and of vineyards, and figtrees, and pomegranates: a land of oyle oliue and hony:
yon peyi avèk ble ak lòj, avèk pye rezen, pye fig, avèk grenad, yon peyi avèk lwil doliv ak siwo myèl;
9 A land wherein thou shalt eate bread without scarcitie, neither shalt thou lacke any thing therein: a land whose stones are yron, and out of whose mountaines thou shalt digge brasse.
yon peyi kote nou va manje manje san manke. Ladann l nou p ap manke anyen; yon peyi kote wòch se fè; epi kote nan ti mòn yo, nou kab fouye kwiv.
10 And when thou hast eaten and filled thy selfe, thou shalt blesse the Lord thy God for the good land, which he hath giuen thee.
“Lè nou fin manje e satisfè, nou va beni SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, pou bon peyi ke Li te bannou an.
11 Beware that thou forget not the Lord thy God, not keeping his commandements, and his lawes, and his ordinances, which I commaund thee this day:
Veye pou nou pa bliye SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, epi pa kenbe kòmandman Li yo, lwa Li yo avèk règleman Li yo ke Mwen ap kòmande nou jodi a.
12 Lest when thou hast eaten and filled thy selfe, and hast built goodly houses and dwelt therein,
Otreman, lè nou te manje e satisfè, e fin bati bon kay pou nou viv nan yo,
13 And thy beastes, and thy sheepe are increased, and thy siluer and golde is multiplied, and all that thou hast is increased,
epi lè twoupo nou avèk bann mouton nou yo vin miltipliye, ajan avèk lò nou yo vin anpil, e tout sa nou posede vin miltipliye,
14 Then thine heart be lifted vp and thou forget the Lord thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage,
alò, kè nou va vin plen ak ògèy, e nou va bliye SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, ki te mennen nou sòti nan peyi Égypte la, andeyò kay esklavaj la.
15 Who was thy guide in the great and terrible wildernes (wherein were fierie serpents, and scorpions, and drought, where was no water, who brought forth water for thee out of ye rock of flint:
Li te mennen nou nan gran dezè tèrib sa a, avèk sèpan pwazon ak eskòpyon, ak tè swaf kote ki pa t gen dlo. Li te fè dlo sòti pou nou nan wòch silèks la.
16 Who fed thee in the wildernesse with MAN, which thy fathers knewe not) to humble thee, and and to proue thee, that he might doe thee good at thy latter ende.
Nan dezè a, Li te bannou lamàn ke zansèt nou yo pa t konnen, pou Li te kapab fè nou vin enb, e pou Li te kapab fè nou pase a leprèv, pouke alafen, sa te kab ale byen pou nou.
17 Beware least thou say in thine heart, My power, and the strength of mine owne hand hath prepared me this abundance.
Otreman, nou ta di nan kè nou: “Se fòs nou avèk kouraj nou ki te bannou tout richès sa a.”
18 But remember the Lord thy God: for it is he which giueth thee power to get substance to establish his couenant which he sware vnto thy fathers, as appeareth this day.
Men nou va sonje SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, paske se Li ki ap bannou pouvwa pou fè richès, pou Li kapab konfime akò ke Li te sèmante a zansèt nou yo, jan sa ye jodi a.
19 And if thou forget the Lord thy God, and walke after other gods, and serue them, and worship them, I testifie vnto you this day that ye shall surely perish.
Li va rive ke si nou bliye SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, pou swiv lòt dye yo pou adore yo, Mwen ap fè temwayaj kont nou jodi a menm, ke anverite nou va peri.
20 As the nations which the Lord destroyeth before you, so ye shall perish, because ye woulde not be obedient vnto the voyce of the Lord your God.
Jan nasyon ke SENYÈ a ap fè peri devan nou yo, konsa nou va peri, akoz ke nou pa t koute vwa a SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an.”
