Deuteronomy 9
1 Heare O Israel, Thou shalt passe ouer Iorden this day, to goe in and to possesse nations greater and mightier then thy selfe, and cities great and walled vp to heauen,
“Koute O Israël! Nou travèse lòtbò Jourdain an jodi a pou antre nan peyi a, e pou deplase nasyon ki pi gran e pi pwisan ke nou yo; gran vil yo byen fòtifye jis rive nan syèl yo.
2 A people great and tall, euen the children of the Anakims, whom thou knowest, and of whom thou hast heard say, Who can stand before the children of Anak?
Yon pèp ki gran e wo, fis a Anak yo jeyan yo, ke nou konnen e te tande yo di: ‘Kilès ki kab kanpe devan fis Anak yo?’
3 Vnderstand therefore that this day ye Lord thy God is he which goeth ouer before thee as a consuming fire: he shall destroy them, and he shall bring them downe before thy face: so thou shalt cast them out and destroy them suddenly, as the Lord hath said vnto thee.
Pou sa, konnen ke jodi a, se SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, ki ap travèse devan nou tankou yon dife devoran. Li va detwi yo e Li va donte yo devan nou pou nou kapab chase yo sòti e detwi yo byen vit, jis jan ke SENYÈ a te pale nou an.
4 Speake not thou in thine heart (after that the Lord thy God hath cast them out before thee) saying, For my righteousnesse the Lord hath brought me in, to possesse this land: but for the wickednesse of these nations the Lord hath cast them out before thee.
“Pa di nan kè nou, lè SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, fin chase yo deyò devan nou, ‘Se akoz ladwati mwen, SENYÈ a te mennen mwen antre pou posede peyi sa a.’ Paske se akoz mechanste a nasyon sila yo ke SENYÈ a ap fè yo deplase devan nou.
5 For thou entrest not to inherite their lande for thy righteousnesse, or for thy vpright heart: but for the wickednesse of those nations, the Lord thy God doth cast them out before thee, and that he might performe the worde which the Lord thy God sware vnto thy fathers, Abraham, Izhak, and Iacob.
Se pa akoz ladwati nou, ni kè dwat nou, ki fè nou ap vin posede peyi a, men akoz mechanste a nasyon sila yo ke SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, ap chase yo devan nou, e pou konfime pawòl la ke SENYÈ a te fè avèk zansèt nou yo, Abraham, Isaac, ak Jacob.
6 Vnderstand therefore, that ye Lord thy God giueth thee not this good land to possesse it for thy righteousnes: for thou art a stifnecked people.
“Pou sa, byen konnen ke se pa akoz ladwati nou ke SENYÈ a ap bannou bon peyi sa a pou posede, paske nou se yon pèp tèt di.
7 Remember, and forget not, howe thou prouokedst the Lord thy God to anger in the wildernesse: since the day that thou diddest depart out of the land of Egypt, vntill ye came vnto this place ye haue rebelled against the Lord.
“Sonje, pa bliye jan nou te pwovoke SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, a lakòlè nan dezè a. Depi jou ke nou te kite peyi Égypte la jiskaske lè nou te rive nan kote sa a, nou tap fè rebèl kont SENYÈ a.
8 Also in Horeb ye prouoked the Lord to anger so that the Lord was wroth with you, euen to destroy you.
Menm nan Horeb, nou te pwovoke SENYÈ a lakòlè. SENYÈ a te tèlman fache avèk nou ke Li te prèt pou detwi nou.
9 When I was gone vp into the mount, to receiue the tables of stone, the tables, I say, of the couenant, which the Lord made with you: and I abode in the mount fourtie daies and fourtie nights, and I neither ate bread nor yet dranke water:
“Lè mwen te monte nan mòn nan pou resevwa tablo wòch yo, tablo akò ke SENYÈ a te fè avèk nou an, alò, mwen te rete sou mòn nan pandan karant jou ak karant nwit. Mwen pa t manje pen ni bwè dlo.
10 Then the Lord deliuered me two tables of stone, written with the finger of God, and in them was conteyned according to all the wordes which the Lord had said vnto you in the mount out of the middes of the fire, in the day of the assemblie.
SENYÈ a te ban mwen de tab wòch ki te ekri ak dwèt Bondye. Sou yo te tout pawòl ke SENYÈ a te pale avèk nou nan mòn nan, nan mitan dife a nan jou asanble a.
11 And when the fourtie dayes and fourtie nightes were ended, the Lord gaue me the two tables of stone, the tables, I say, of the couenant.
“Li te vin rive nan fen karant jou ak karant nwit yo, ke SENYÈ a te ban mwen de tablo wòch, tab akò yo.
12 And the Lord said vnto me, Arise, get thee downe quickly from hence: for thy people which thou hast brought out of Egypt, haue corrupt their wayes: they are soone turned out of the way, which I commanded them: they haue made them a molten image.
Alò, SENYÈ a te di mwen: ‘Leve, desann soti isit la byen vit, paske pèp ou a ke nou te fè sòti an Égypte la te vin konwonpi. Yo te vire akote chemen ke Mwen te kòmande a. Yo te fè yon imaj fonn pou kont yo!’
13 Furthermore, the Lord spake vnto me, saying, I haue seene this people, and beholde, it is a stifnecked people.
“SENYÈ a te pale plis avè m e te di: ‘Mwen te wè pèp sa a, vrèman, li se yon pèp ki di.
14 Let me alone, that I may destroy them, and put out their name from vnder heaue, and I wil make of thee a mightie nation, and greater then they be.
Kite Mwen sèl pou M kapab detwi yo, e efase non yo soti anba syèl la; Mwen va fè a ou menm yon nasyon pi pwisan e pi gran ke yo.’
15 So I returned, and came downe from the Mount (and the Mount burnt with fire, and ye two Tables of the couenant were in my two handes)
“Epi mwen te vire desann mòn nan pandan mòn nan t ap brile avèk dife a, ak de tab akò yo nan de men m yo.
16 Then I looked, and beholde, ye had sinned against the Lord your God: for ye had made you a molten calfe, and had turned quickly out of the way which the Lord had commanded you.
Epi konsa, mwen te wè ke vrèman, nou te peche kont SENYÈ a Bondye nou an. Nou te fè pou nou menm yon ti bèf fonn. Nou te vire detounen byen vit kite chemen ke SENYÈ a te kòmande nou an.
17 Therefore I tooke the two Tables, and cast them out of my two handes, and brake them before your eyes.
Mwen te pran de tab sa yo; mwen te jete yo sòti nan men m, e te kraze yo devan zye nou.
18 And I fell downe before the Lord, fourtie dayes, and fourtie nightes, as before: I neither ate bread nor dranke water, because of al your sinnes, which ye had committed, in doing wickedly in the sight of the Lord, in that ye prouoked him vnto wrath.
“Mwen te tonbe ba devan SENYÈ a, yon fwa ankò. Pandan karant jou ak karant nwit mwen pa t manje pen ni bwè dlo akoz tout peche ke nou te fè nan fè sa ki mal nan zye SENYÈ a, pou pwovoke Li a lakòlè.
19 (For I was afraide of the wrath and indignation, wherewith the Lord was mooued against you, euen to destroy you) yet the Lord heard me at that time also.
Paske Mwen te pè lakòlè ak chalè mekontantman avèk sila SENYÈ a te fache kont nou pou L te kapab detwi nou an. Men SENYÈ a te koute mwen fwa sa a tou.
20 Likewise ye Lord was very angrie with Aaron, euen to destroy him: but at that time I prayed also for Aaron.
“SENYÈ a te ase fache avèk Aaron pou detwi li. Konsa, mwen te priye anplis pou Aaron nan menm lè sa a.
21 And I tooke your sinne, I meane the calfe which ye had made, and burnt him with fire, and stamped him and ground him small, euen vnto very dust: and I cast the dust thereof into the riuer, that descended out of the mount.
“Mwen te pran peche nou an, ti bèf ke nou te fè a, e mwen te brile li avèk dife. Mwen te kraze li fen jiskaske li te vin tankou poud, epi mwen te jete poud li nan ti flèv dlo ki te pase desann nan mòn nan.
22 Also in Taberah, and in Massah and in Kibrothhattaauah ye prouoked ye Lord to anger.
“Ankò, nan Tabeéra, nan Massa, ak nan Kibroth-Hattaava, nou te pwovoke SENYÈ a lakòlè.
23 Likewise when the Lord sent you from Kadesh-barnea, saying, Goe vp, and possesse the land which I haue giuen you, then ye rebelled against the commandement of the Lord your God, and beleeued him not, nor hearkened vnto his voyce.
Lè SENYÈ a te voye nou soti Kadés-Barnéa, Li te di: ‘Ale monte pou posede tè ke mwen te bannou an.’ Men nou te fè rebèl kont kòmand SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an. Nou pa t kwè Li, ni koute vwa Li.
24 Ye haue bene rebellious vnto the Lord, since the day that I knewe you.
Nou te fè rebèl kont SENYÈ a depi jou ke m te konnen nou an.
25 Then I fell downe before ye Lord fourtie dayes and fourtie nightes, as I fell downe before, because ye Lord had said, that he woulde destroy you.
“Konsa, mwen te vin tonbe devan SENYÈ a pandan karant jou ak karant nwit, ke m te tonbe a, akoz SENYÈ a te di Li t ap detwi nou.
26 And I prayed vnto the Lord, and saide, O Lord God, destroy not thy people and thine inheritance, which thou hast redeemed through thy greatnesse, whom thou hast brought out of Egypt by a mightie hand.
Mwen te priye a SENYÈ a e mwen te di: ‘O SENYÈ a, pa detwi pèp Ou a, eritaj Ou menm nan, ke Ou te peye ranson selon grandè Ou, pou Ou te mennen sòti an Égypte avèk yon men pwisan.
27 Remember thy seruants Abraham, Izhak, and Iaakob: looke not to ye stubburnes of this people, nor to their wickednes, nor to their sinne,
“Sonje sèvitè Ou yo, Abraham, Isaac, ak Jacob. Pa gade rebelyon a pèp sila a, ni sou mechanste yo oswa peche yo.
28 Lest the countrey, whence thou broughtest them, say, Because ye Lord was not able to bring them into the land which he promised them, or because he hated them, he caried them out, to slay them in the wildernesse.
Otreman, peyi kote Ou te mennen nou sòti a, kapab di: ‘Akoz SENYÈ a pa t kapab mennen yo antre nan peyi ke Li te pwomèt yo a, e akoz Li te rayi yo, Li te mennen yo deyò pou touye yo nan dezè a.’
29 Yet they are thy people, and thine inheritance, which thou broughtest out by thy mightie power, and by thy stretched out arme.
Men se pèp Ou yo ye, eritaj Ou menm, ke Ou te mennen sòti pa gran pouvwa avèk bra lonje.”
