Deuteronomy 11
1 Therefore thou shalt love YHWH thy Elohim, and keep his charge, and his statutes, and his judgments, and his commandments, alway.
Se pou nou renmen Seyè a, Bondye nou an. Se pou nou toujou kenbe lòd, prensip ak kòmandman li ban nou yo.
2 And know ye this day: for I speak not with your children which have not known, and which have not seen the chastisement of YHWH your Elohim, his greatness, his mighty hand, and his stretched out arm,
Se pou nou rekonèt jòdi a tou sa Seyè a te moutre nou. Nou te wè jan li gen pouvwa, jan li gen fòs, jan li gen kouraj. Se nou menm ki te viv tout bagay sa yo, se pa t' pitit nou yo. Yo menm yo pa t' konn anyen, ni yo pa t' wè anyen.
3 And his miracles, and his acts, which he did in the midst of Egypt unto Pharaoh the king of Egypt, and unto all his land;
Seyè a te fè nou wè mirak ak gwo mèvèy li te fè nan mitan peyi Lejip, pou li te fini ak farawon an ansanm ak tout moun nan peyi a.
4 And what he did unto the army of Egypt, unto their horses, and to their chariots; how he made the water of the Red sea to overflow them as they pursued after you, and how YHWH hath destroyed them unto this day;
Nou te wè kisa li te fè lame Lejip la ak tout chwal yo ak tout cha yo, ki jan li te fè dlo lanmè Wouj la kouvri yo, lè yo t'ap rapouswiv nou an. Seyè a te kraze yo nèt.
5 And what he did unto you in the wilderness, until ye came into this place;
Nou konnen sa li te fè pou nou tout tan nou te nan dezè a jouk nou rive isit la.
6 And what he did unto Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, the son of Reuben: how the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed them up, and their households, and their tents, and all the substance that was in their possession, in the midst of all Israel:
Chonje sa li te fè Datan ak Abiram, pitit Eliyab, moun fanmi Woubenn yo. Tè a te fann, li vale yo tou vivan ansanm ak tout fanmi yo, tout tant yo ak tout moun ki te avèk yo, devan je tout pèp Izrayèl la.
7 But your eyes have seen all the great acts of YHWH which he did.
Se nou menm ki te wè ak je nou tout gwo mèvèy sa yo Seyè a te fè.
8 Therefore shall ye keep all the commandments which I command you this day, that ye may be strong, and go in and possess the land, whither ye go to possess it;
Se pou nou mache dapre lòd m'ap ban nou jòdi a, pou nou ka vin fò, pou nou ka pran peyi nou pral anvayi a pou nou,
9 And that ye may prolong your days in the land, which YHWH sware unto your fathers to give unto them and to their seed, a land that floweth with milk and honey.
pou nou ka viv lontan nan peyi Seyè a te fè sèman l'ap bay zansèt nou yo pou yo menm ak tout ras yo, nan peyi kote lèt ak siwo myèl ap koule tankou dlo.
10 For the land, whither thou goest in to possess it, is not as the land of Egypt, from whence ye came out, where thou sowedst thy seed, and wateredst it with thy foot, as a garden of herbs:
Peyi nou pral anvayi pou nou pran pou nou an pa yon peyi ki tankou peyi Lejip kote nou soti a, yon peyi kote se nou menm ki te blije simen grenn nan jaden nou, lèfini pou nou te travay di pou nou wouze yo tankou yo wouze jaden legim.
11 But the land, whither ye go to possess it, is a land of hills and valleys, and drinketh water of the rain of heaven:
Non! Peyi nou pral anvayi pou nou pran pou nou an, se yon peyi ki gen anpil mòn ak anpil fon, yon peyi lapli soti nan syèl wouze tout tan.
12 A land which YHWH thy Elohim careth for: the eyes of YHWH thy Elohim are always upon it, from the beginning of the year even unto the end of the year.
Se yon peyi Seyè a, Bondye nou an, ap pran swen, yon peyi l'ap veye pou anyen pa rive l' depi premye jou nan lanne a rive dènye jou a.
13 And it shall come to pass, if ye shall hearken diligently unto my commandments which I command you this day, to love YHWH your Elohim, and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul,
Nou mèt sèten, si nou mache dapre kòmandman mwen ban nou jòdi a, si nou renmen Seyè a, Bondye nou an, si nou sèvi l' ak tout kè nou ak tout nanm nou,
14 That I will give you the rain of your land in his due season, the first rain and the latter rain, that thou mayest gather in thy corn, and thy wine, and thine oil.
m'a voye lapli sou tè nou lè n'a bezwen l', m'a bay lapli nan sezon plante ak nan sezon rekòt pou nou ka gen anpil manje, anpil diven ak anpil lwil.
15 And I will send grass in thy fields for thy cattle, that thou mayest eat and be full.
M'a fè anpil zèb pouse nan savann nou yo pou bèt nou manje. Konsa, n'a jwenn manje pou nou manje plen vant nou.
16 Take heed to yourselves, that your heart be not deceived, and ye turn aside, and serve other elohim, and worship them;
Fè atansyon pou nou pa pèdi tèt nou, pou nou pa kite chemen ki devan nou an pou n' al sèvi lòt bondye, pou n' al adore yo.
17 And then YHWH 's wrath be kindled against you, and he shut up the heaven, that there be no rain, and that the land yield not her fruit; and lest ye perish quickly from off the good land which YHWH giveth you.
Si nou kite sa rive nou, Seyè a va fache anpil sou nou, li p'ap voye lapli. Si pa gen lapli, tè a p'ap bay sa pou l' te bay la. Nou tout n'ap mouri byen vit nan bon peyi Seyè a ban nou an.
18 Therefore shall ye lay up these my words in your heart and in your soul, and bind them for a sign upon your hand, that they may be as frontlets between your eyes.
Fè pawòl m'ap di nou la a antre nan tèt nou pou nou pa janm bliye yo! Mare yo sou ponyèt nou ak sou fwon nou pou nou ka toujou chonje yo.
19 And ye shall teach them your children, speaking of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.
N'a moutre yo bay timoun nou yo, n'a repete yo nan zòrèy yo, nou te mèt lakay nou, nou te mèt ap mache granchemen, nou te mèt kouche nan kabann nou, nou te mèt kanpe ap travay.
20 And thou shalt write them upon the door posts of thine house, and upon thy gates:
Ekri yo sou chanbrann pòt lakay nou ak sou pòtay lavil nou yo,
21 That your days may be multiplied, and the days of your children, in the land which YHWH sware unto your fathers to give them, as the days of heaven upon the earth.
pou nou ka viv lontan, nou menm ansanm ak tout ras nou yo, nan peyi Seyè a te fè sèman l'ap bay zansèt nou yo toutotan va gen yon syèl anwo tè a.
22 For if ye shall diligently keep all these commandments which I command you, to do them, to love YHWH your Elohim, to walk in all his ways, and to cleave unto him;
Si nou swiv pwen pa pwen tout kòmandman mwen ban nou lòd pou nou swiv yo, si nou renmen Seyè a, Bondye nou an, si nou mache sou chemen li mete devan nou an, si nou pa janm lage l',
23 Then will YHWH drive out all these nations from before you, and ye shall possess greater nations and mightier than yourselves.
Seyè a va mete tout nasyon sa yo deyò devan nou pou nou ka pran plas yo. N'a pran pou nou peyi yon bann nasyon ki gen plis moun pase nou, ki pi fò pase nou.
24 Every place whereon the soles of your feet shall tread shall be yours: from the wilderness and Lebanon, from the river, the river Euphrates, even unto the uttermost sea shall your coast be.
Tout kote pye nou va pile, se pou nou la ye. N'a gen dezè a pou lizyè sou anba, peyi Liban an sou anwo. N'a gen gwo larivyè Lefrat la yon bò ak lanmè Mediterane a sou bò solèy kouche.
25 There shall no man be able to stand before you: for YHWH your Elohim shall lay the fear of you and the dread of you upon all the land that ye shall tread upon, as he hath said unto you.
Pesonn p'ap ka kanpe devan nou pou rete nou sou kous nou. Kote nou pase, Seyè a, Bondye nou an, pral fè moun peyi a pè nou, yo pral kouri pou nou jan li te pwomèt nou li a.
26 Behold, I set before you this day a blessing and a curse;
Jòdi a, mwen mete benediksyon ak madichon devan nou. Se nou ki pou chwazi.
27 A blessing, if ye obey the commandments of YHWH your Elohim, which I command you this day:
Se va benediksyon pou nou si nou swiv tout kòmandman Seyè a, Bondye nou an, kòmandman mwen ban nou jòdi a.
28 And a curse, if ye will not obey the commandments of YHWH your Elohim, but turn aside out of the way which I command you this day, to go after other elohim, which ye have not known.
Men se va madichon pou nou si nou pa vle mache dapre kòmandman Seyè a, Bondye nou an, si nou kite chemen mwen mande nou pou nou swiv jòdi a pou n' al kouri dèyè lòt bondye nou pa janm konnen.
29 And it shall come to pass, when YHWH thy Elohim hath brought thee in unto the land whither thou goest to possess it, that thou shalt put the blessing upon mount Gerizim, and the curse upon mount Ebal.
Lè Seyè a, Bondye nou an, va fè nou antre nan peyi nou pral pran pou nou an, n'a mete benediksyon an sou mòn Garizim, n'a mete madichon an sou mòn Ebal.
30 Are they not on the other side Jordan, by the way where the sun goeth down, in the land of the Canaanites, which dwell in the champaign over against Gilgal, beside the plains of Moreh?
Mòn sa yo lòt bò larivyè Jouden, nan direksyon solèy kouche, nan peyi moun Kanaran yo ki rete nan plenn Araba a, anfas Gilga, toupre pye chenn More a.
31 For ye shall pass over Jordan to go in to possess the land which YHWH your Elohim giveth you, and ye shall possess it, and dwell therein.
Nou prèt pou nou janbe lòt bò larivyè Jouden an pou n' al pran pou nou peyi Seyè a, Bondye nou an, ap ban nou an. N'a pran peyi a pou nou, n'a rete ladan l'.
32 And ye shall observe to do all the statutes and judgments which I set before you this day.
N'a fè atansyon pou nou kenbe tout lòd ak tout prensip mwen mete devan nou jòdi a.
