Deuteronomy 12
1 These are the statutes and the ordinances, which ye shall observe to do in the land which the LORD, the God of thy fathers, hath given thee to possess it, all the days that ye live upon the earth.
“Sa yo se lwa avèk jijman ke nou va swiv avèk atansyon nan peyi ke SENYÈ a, Bondye a zansèt nou yo, te bannou pou posede pandan tout tan ke n ap viv sou tè a.
2 Ye shall surely destroy all the places, wherein the nations that ye are to dispossess served their gods, upon the high mountains, and upon the hills, and under every leafy tree.
“Nou va detwi nèt tout kote ke nasyon yo mete dye pa yo pou sèvi yo; sou mòn wo yo, sou ti mòn yo ak anba tout pyebwa yo.
3 And ye shall break down their altars, and dash in pieces their pillars, and burn their Asherim with fire; and ye shall hew down the graven images of their gods; and ye shall destroy their name out of that place.
Nou va chire lotèl yo, e kraze pilye sakre yo, e brile poto Asherim nan avèk dife. Nou va koupe imaj taye a dye pa yo, e nou va fè disparèt tout tras non yo nan kote sila yo.
4 Ye shall not do so unto the LORD your God.
“Nou p ap aji konsa anvè SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an.
5 But unto the place which the LORD your God shall choose out of all your tribes to put His name there, even unto His habitation shall ye seek, and thither thou shalt come;
Men nou va chache kote SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, chwazi sou tout trib nou yo, pou etabli non Li a tankou kote pou L ta rete, e la, nou va vini.
6 and thither ye shall bring your burnt-offerings, and your sacrifices, and your tithes, and the offering of your hand, and your vows, and your freewill-offerings, and the firstlings of your herd and of your flock;
La, nou va mennen ofrann brile nou yo, sakrifis nou yo, dim nou yo, don ki sòti nan men nou yo, ofrann ve yo, ofrann bòn volonte yo, avèk premye ne nan twoupo nou yo ak nan bann mouton nou yo.
7 and there ye shall eat before the LORD your God, and ye shall rejoice in all that ye put your hand unto, ye and your households, wherein the LORD thy God hath blessed thee.
La osi, nou menm avèk lakay nou va manje devan SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an. Konsa, nou va rejwi nan tout sa nou te antreprann nan, nou avèk lakay nou yo, nan sila SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, te beni nou an.
8 Ye shall not do after all that we do here this day, every man whatsoever is right in his own eyes;
“Nou p ap fè menm sa ke n ap fè isit la jodi a, konsi tout moun ap fè sa ki bon nan pwòp zye li;
9 for ye are not as yet come to the rest and to the inheritance, which the LORD your God giveth thee.
paske nou poko rive nan plas repo ak eritaj ke SENYÈ a ap bannou an.
10 But when ye go over the Jordan, and dwell in the land which the LORD your God causeth you to inherit, and He giveth you rest from all your enemies round about, so that ye dwell in safety;
“Lè nou travèse Jourdain an pou viv nan peyi ke SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, ap bannou kòm eritaj la; epi Li bannou repo sou tout lènmi ki antoure nou yo pou nou viv ansekirite,
11 then it shall come to pass that the place which the LORD your God shall choose to cause His name to dwell there, thither shall ye bring all that I command you: your burnt-offerings, and your sacrifices, your tithes, and the offering of your hand, and all your choice vows which ye vow unto the LORD.
alò, li va rive ke kote ke SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, va chwazi pou non Li vin rete a, se la, nou va mennen tout sa ke Mwen kòmande nou yo: ofrann brile nou yo avèk sakrifis nou yo, dim nou yo avèk don ki sòti nan men nou yo, ak tout ofrann ve ki pi bèl ke nou va fè kòm ve bay SENYÈ a.
12 And ye shall rejoice before the LORD your God, ye, and your sons, and your daughters, and your men-servants, and your maid-servants, and the Levite that is within your gates, forasmuch as he hath no portion nor inheritance with you.
“Epi nou va rejwi devan SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, nou menm avèk fis ak fi nou yo, sèvitè ak sèvant nou yo ak Levit ki anndan pòtay nou yo, akoz ke li pa gen pati ni eritaj pami nou.
13 Take heed to thyself that thou offer not thy burnt-offerings in every place that thou seest;
Fè atansyon pou nou pa ofri ofrann brile tout kote ke nou wè,
14 but in the place which the LORD shall choose in one of thy tribes, there thou shalt offer thy burnt-offerings, and there thou shalt do all that I command thee.
men kote ke SENYÈ a chwazi nan youn nan tribi nou yo. La, nou va ofri ofrann brile yo, e la, nou va fè tout sa ke mwen kòmande nou yo.
15 Notwithstanding thou mayest kill and eat flesh within all thy gates, after all the desire of thy soul, according to the blessing of the LORD thy God which He hath given thee; the unclean and the clean may eat thereof, as of the gazelle, and as of the hart.
“Malgre sa, nou gen dwa touye e manje vyann anndan nenpòt nan pòtay nou yo, nenpòt sa ke nou dezire, selon benediksyon SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, sa ke Li te bannou. Sila ki pa pwòp, ak sila ki pwòp kapab manje ladann, tankou antilop la ak sèf la.
16 Only ye shall not eat the blood; thou shalt pour it out upon the earth as water.
Sepandan, nou pa pou bwè san an; nou dwe vide li atè tankou dlo.
17 Thou mayest not eat within thy gates the tithe of thy corn, or of thy wine, or of thine oil, or the firstlings of thy herd or of thy flock, nor any of thy vows which thou vowest, nor thy freewill-offerings, nor the offering of thy hand;
“Nou pa gen dwa manje anndan pòtay nou yo ofrann dim ki sòti nan sereyal yo, ni premye ne nan twoupo ak nan bann mouton nou yo, ni okenn nan ofrann ve yo, ni ofrann bòn volonte nou yo, ni don ki sòti nan men nou yo.
18 but thou shalt eat them before the LORD thy God in the place which the LORD thy God shall choose, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, and thy man-servant, and thy maid-servant, and the Levite that is within thy gates; and thou shalt rejoice before the LORD thy God in all that thou puttest thy hand unto.
Men nou va manje yo devan SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, kote ke SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an va chwazi a, nou menm avèk fis nou ak fi nou yo, sèvitè ak sèvant lan ak Levit ki anndan pòtay nou yo. Konsa, nou va rejwi devan SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, nan tout sa ke nou antreprann.
19 Take heed to thyself that thou forsake not the Levite as long as thou livest upon thy land.
Fè atansyon pou nou pa abandone Levit la pandan tout tan ke nou rete nan Peyi a.
20 When the LORD thy God shall enlarge thy border, as He hath promised thee, and thou shalt say: 'I will eat flesh', because thy soul desireth to eat flesh; thou mayest eat flesh, after all the desire of thy soul.
“Lè SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, vin fè lizyè nou grandi, jan Li te pwomèt nou an, e nou va di: ‘Mwen va manje vyann,’ akoz ke nou vle manje vyann, nou kapab manje vyann, nenpòt sa ke nou pito.
21 If the place which the LORD thy God shall choose to put His name there be too far from thee, then thou shalt kill of thy herd and of thy flock, which the LORD hath given thee, as I have commanded thee, and thou shalt eat within thy gates, after all the desire of thy soul.
Si kote ke SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, chwazi pou mete non Li an, twò lwen nou, alò, nou kapab touye nan twoupo nou ak bann mouton nou ke SENYÈ a te bannou yo, jan mwen te kòmande nou an. Konsa, nou kapab manje anndan pòtay nou yo nenpòt sa nou pito.
22 Howbeit as the gazelle and as the hart is eaten, so thou shalt eat thereof; the unclean and the clean may eat thereof alike.
Menm jan ke yon antilòp oswa yon sèf kon sèvi pou manje; konsa, nou va manje li. Moun ki pwòp ni sila ki pa pwòp kapab manje ladann.
23 Only be stedfast in not eating the blood; for the blood is the life; and thou shalt not eat the life with the flesh.
“Sèlman, fè sèten ke nou pa bwè san an, paske san an se lavi, e nou p ap bwè lavi avèk chè a.
24 Thou shalt not eat it; thou shalt pour it out upon the earth as water.
Nou p ap bwè li. Nou va vide li atè tankou dlo.
25 Thou shalt not eat it; that it may go well with thee, and with thy children after thee, when thou shalt do that which is right in the eyes of the LORD.
Nou p ap bwè li jis pou sa kab ale byen pou nou avèk pitit apre nou yo; paske nou ap fè sa ki bon nan zye SENYÈ a.
26 Only thy holy things which thou hast, and thy vows, thou shalt take, and go unto the place which the LORD shall choose;
“Se sèlman bagay ki sen ke nou kapab genyen, ak ofrann ve nou yo, nou va pran pou ale kote ke SENYÈ a chwazi a.
27 and thou shalt offer thy burnt-offerings, the flesh and the blood, upon the altar of the LORD thy God; and the blood of thy sacrifices shall be poured out against the altar of the LORD thy God, and thou shalt eat the flesh.
Konsa, nou va ofri ofrann brile yo, chè a avèk san an sou lotèl la bay SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an. San sakrifis nou yo va vide sou lotèl la bay SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, epi nou va manje chè a.
28 Observe and hear all these words which I command thee, that it may go well with thee, and with thy children after thee for ever, when thou doest that which is good and right in the eyes of the LORD thy God.
“Fè atansyon pou koute tout pawòl sila yo ke mwen kòmande nou, jis pou sa kapab ale byen pou nou ak fis apre nou yo pou tout tan, akoz nou fè sa ki bon e jis nan zye a SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an.
29 When the LORD thy God shall cut off the nations from before thee, whither thou goest in to dispossess them, and thou dispossessest them, and dwellest in their land;
“Lè SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, koupe retire devan nou nasyon ke n ap antre deplase yo, epi nou deplase yo e rete nan peyi pa yo,
30 take heed to thyself that thou be not ensnared to follow them, after that they are destroyed from before thee; and that thou inquire not after their gods, saying: 'How used these nations to serve their gods? even so will I do likewise.'
veye ke nou pa antre nan pèlen e swiv yo lè yo fin detwi devan nou; epi ke nou pa chache a dye pa yo, e mande: ‘Kijan nasyon sa yo sèvi dye pa yo? Konsa, mwen va fè menm jan an?’
31 Thou shalt not do so unto the LORD thy God; for every abomination to the LORD, which He hateth, have they done unto their gods; for even their sons and their daughters do they burn in the fire to their gods.
Nou p ap aji konsa anvè SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, paske se tout zèv abominab ke SENYÈ a rayi yo, ke yo kon fè pou dye pa yo. Paske yo konn menm brile pwòp fis ak fi pa yo nan dife dye pa yo.
32 All this word which I command you, that shall ye observe to do; thou shalt not add thereto, nor diminish from it.
“Nenpòt sa ke m kòmande nou, se sa a pou nou fè. Nou p ap ni mete sou li, ni retire ladan l.
