Deuteronomy 28
1 And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of Yhwh thy God, to observe and to do all his commandments which I command thee this day, that Yhwh thy God will set thee on high above all nations of the earth:
“Alò, li va rive ke si yo obeyi avèk dilijans SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, e fè atansyon pou fè tout kòmandman Li yo ke mwen kòmande nou jodi a, SENYÈ a va plase nou wo, pi wo pase tout lòt nasyon sou latè yo.
2 And all these blessings shall come on thee, and overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken unto the voice of Yhwh thy God.
“Tout benediksyon sila yo va vini sou nou, epi yo va tonbe sou nou nèt, si nou tande vwa SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an.
3 Blessed shalt thou be in the city, and blessed shalt thou be in the field.
Nou va beni nan vil, e beni andeyò.
4 Blessed shall be the fruit of thy body, and the fruit of thy ground, and the fruit of thy cattle, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep.
Beni va fwi a vant nou, pòtre a bèt nou yo, kwasans a twoupo nou yo ak jenn pòtre a bann mouton nou yo.
5 Blessed shall be thy basket and thy store.
Beni va panyen nou avèk veso k ap foule pat pen an.
6 Blessed shalt thou be when thou comest in, and blessed shalt thou be when thou goest out.
Beni lè nou antre, epi beni lè nou sòti.
7 Yhwh shall cause thine enemies that rise up against thee to be smitten before thy face: they shall come out against thee one way, and flee before thee seven ways.
“SENYÈ a va fè lènmi ki leve kont nou yo bat devan nou. Yo va vin parèt kont nou nan yon sèl direksyon, men y ap sove ale devan nou nan sèt direksyon.
8 Yhwh shall command the blessing upon thee in thy storehouses, and in all that thou settest thine hand unto; and he shall bless thee in the land which Yhwh thy God giveth thee.
“SENYÈ a va kòmande benediksyon sou nou nan depo nou yo, nan tout bagay, depi nou mete men nou ladann. Li va beni nou nan peyi ke SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, bannou an.
9 Yhwh shall establish thee an holy people unto himself, as he hath sworn unto thee, if thou shalt keep the commandments of Yhwh thy God, and walk in his ways.
“SENYÈ a va etabli nou kòm yon pèp ki sen a Li Menm, jan Li te sèmante a nou menm nan, si nou kenbe kòmandman a SENYÈ yo, Bondye nou an, pou mache nan chemen Li yo.
10 And all people of the earth shall see that thou art called by the name of Yhwh; and they shall be afraid of thee.
Konsa, tout pèp sou latè yo va wè ke nou rele pa non SENYÈ a, e yo va pè nou.
11 And Yhwh shall make thee plenteous in goods, in the fruit of thy body, and in the fruit of thy cattle, and in the fruit of thy ground, in the land which Yhwh sware unto thy fathers to give thee.
“SENYÈ a va fè nou ogmante an pwosperite, nan fwi zantray nou, nan fètilite bèt nou yo, ak nan pwodwi tè nou yo, nan peyi ke SENYÈ a, te sèmante a zansèt nou yo pou bannou an.
12 Yhwh shall open unto thee his good treasure, the heaven to give the rain unto thy land in his season, and to bless all the work of thine hand: and thou shalt lend unto many nations, and thou shalt not borrow.
“SENYÈ a va louvri pou nou depo bonte Li a, syèl la, pou bay lapli sou peyi nou nan sezon li, pou beni tout travay a men nou yo. Nou va prete lajan bay anpil nasyon, men nou p ap janm mande prete.
13 And Yhwh shall make thee the head, and not the tail; and thou shalt be above only, and thou shalt not be beneath; if that thou hearken unto the commandments of Yhwh thy God, which I command thee this day, to observe and to do them:
SENYÈ a va fè nou tèt olye de ke. Nou va anwo tou sèl, e nou p ap anba, si nou koute kòmandman a SENYÈ yo, Bondye nou an, ke mwen pase lòd bannou jodi a, pou nou swiv avèk atansyon,
14 And thou shalt not go aside from any of the words which I command thee this day, to the right hand, or to the left, to go after other gods to serve them.
epi pa vire akote okenn nan pawòl ke mwen kòmande nou jodi a, ni adwat, ni agoch, pou ale apre lòt dye yo pou sèvi yo.
15 But it shall come to pass, if thou wilt not hearken unto the voice of Yhwh thy God, to observe to do all his commandments and his statutes which I command thee this day; that all these curses shall come upon thee, and overtake thee:
“Men li va vin rive ke si nou pa obeyi SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, pou swiv tout kòmandman Li yo avèk lwa Li yo ke mwen pase lòd bannou jodi a, ke tout malediksyon sa yo va vini sou nou, pou pran nou.
16 Cursed shalt thou be in the city, and cursed shalt thou be in the field.
“Modi nou va ye nan vil la, epi modi nou va ye andeyò.
17 Cursed shall be thy basket and thy store.
“Modi va panyen nou ak bòl k ap pote pen nou.
18 Cursed shall be the fruit of thy body, and the fruit of thy land, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep.
“Modi va fwi zantray nou ak pwodwi a tè nou yo, kwasans twoupo a, avèk jenn pòtre bann mouton nou yo.
19 Cursed shalt thou be when thou comest in, and cursed shalt thou be when thou goest out.
“Modi nou va ye lè nou antre, epi modi nou va ye lè nou sòti.
20 Yhwh shall send upon thee cursing, vexation, and rebuke, in all that thou settest thine hand unto for to do, until thou be destroyed, and until thou perish quickly; because of the wickedness of thy doings, whereby thou hast forsaken me.
“SENYÈ a va voye sou nou madichon, twoub, avèk menas nan tout sa nou eseye fè, jiskaske nou fin detwi nèt, akoz mechanste a zèv nou yo, akoz ke nou te abandone mwen.
21 Yhwh shall make the pestilence cleave unto thee, until he have consumed thee from off the land, whither thou goest to possess it.
“SENYÈ a va fè gwo epidemi vin kole sou nou jiskaske li fin manje nou soti nan peyi kote nou ap antre pou posede a.
22 Yhwh shall smite thee with a consumption, and with a fever, and with an inflammation, and with an extreme burning, and with the sword, and with blasting, and with mildew; and they shall pursue thee until thou perish.
“SENYÈ a va frape nou avèk epidemi tibèkiloz ak lafyèv, enflamasyon ak chalè ki brile, avèk nepe, maladi ki seche jaden, avèk pichon. Yo va kouri dèyè nou jiskaske nou mouri.
23 And thy heaven that is over thy head shall be brass, and the earth that is under thee shall be iron.
Syèl sou tèt nou an va vin bwonz, epi tè anba pye nou an va vin fè.
24 Yhwh shall make the rain of thy land powder and dust: from heaven shall it come down upon thee, until thou be destroyed.
SENYÈ a va fè lapli tè nou an avèk poud e pousyè ki soti nan syèl la. Li va tonbe sou nou jiskaske nou fin detwi.
25 Yhwh shall cause thee to be smitten before thine enemies: thou shalt go out one way against them, and flee seven ways before them: and shalt be removed into all the kingdoms of the earth.
“SENYÈ a va lakoz ke nou vin bat devan lènmi nou yo. Nou va sòti yon direksyon kont yo e nou va sove ale nan sèt direksyon devan yo. Konsa, nou va jete ale retou pami tout wayòm latè yo.
26 And thy carcase shall be meat unto all fowls of the air, and unto the beasts of the earth, and there shall be none to frighten them away.
Kadav nou va fè manje pou zwazo anlè yo ak bèt sovaj latè yo. Epi konsa, p ap gen moun ki pou chase yo ale.
27 Yhwh will smite thee with the botch of Egypt, and with the emerods, and with the scab, and with the itch, whereof thou canst not be healed.
“SENYÈ a va frape nou avèk abse Égypte yo, avèk timè e avèk kal sou po nou, ak gratèl, nan sila p ap gen gerizon yo.
28 Yhwh shall smite thee with madness, and blindness, and astonishment of heart:
“SENYÈ a va frape nou pou fè nou fou, avèg ak sezi nan kè.
29 And thou shalt grope at noonday, as the blind gropeth in darkness, and thou shalt not prosper in thy ways: and thou shalt be only oppressed and spoiled evermore, and no man shall save thee.
Nou va tatonnen gwo midi, tankou yon avèg tatonnen nan tenèb, epi nou pa p pwospere nan zafè nou yo. Men nou va tout tan oprime e kontinyèlman viktim vòl, san genyen pèsòn pou bannou sekou.
30 Thou shalt betroth a wife, and another man shall lie with her: thou shalt build an house, and thou shalt not dwell therein: thou shalt plant a vineyard, and shalt not gather the grapes thereof.
“Nou va fiyanse yon madanm, men yon lòt mesye va vyole li. Nou va bati yon kay, men nou p ap viv ladann. Nou va plante yon chan rezen, men nou p ap sèvi nan fwi li.
31 Thine ox shall be slain before thine eyes, and thou shalt not eat thereof: thine donkey shall be violently taken away from before thy face, and shall not be restored to thee: thy sheep shall be given unto thine enemies, and thou shalt have none to rescue them.
“Bèf nou va touye devan zye nou, men nou p ap manje ladann. Bourik nou va rache nan men nou, e yo p ap remèt bannou. Mouton nou va bay a lènmi nou yo, e nou p ap gen okenn moun ki pou sove nou.
32 Thy sons and thy daughters shall be given unto another people, and thine eyes shall look, and fail with longing for them all the day long: and there shall be no might in thine hand.
“Fis nou yo ak fi nou yo va bay a yon lòt pèp. Zye nou yo ap gade sou sa e anvi wè yo tout tan, men p ap gen anyen nou kapab fè.
33 The fruit of thy land, and all thy labours, shall a nation which thou knowest not eat up; and thou shalt be only oppressed and crushed alway:
“Yon pèp nou pa menm konnen va vin manje pwodwi a tè nou yo ak tout travay nou yo. Nou p ap janm wè anyen sof ke oprime e kraze tout tan.
34 So that thou shalt be mad for the sight of thine eyes which thou shalt see.
Sa nou wè ak zè nou va fè nou vin fou nèt.
35 Yhwh shall smite thee in the knees, and in the legs, with a sore botch that cannot be healed, from the sole of thy foot unto the top of thy head.
SENYÈ a va frape nou sou jenou ak janm avèk abse ki fè mal, ki pa gen gerizon soti anba pye nou rive jis anwo tèt nou.
36 Yhwh shall bring thee, and thy king which thou shalt set over thee, unto a nation which neither thou nor thy fathers have known; and there shalt thou serve other gods, wood and stone.
“SENYÈ a va mennen nou avèk wa ke nou mete sou nou yo, a yon nasyon ki ni nou menm, ni zansèt nou yo pa t konnen. Epi la, nou va sèvi lòt dye yo, fèt ak bwa ak wòch.
37 And thou shalt become an astonishment, a proverb, and a byword, among all nations whither Yhwh shall lead thee.
Nou va devni yon objè meprize etonan, yon pwovèb, yon plezi pami tout pèp kote SENYÈ a pouse nou ale yo.
38 Thou shalt carry much seed out into the field, and shalt gather but little in; for the locust shall consume it.
“Nou va pote anpil semans nan chan yo, men nou va ranmase piti, paske krikèt yo va manje yo.
39 Thou shalt plant vineyards, and dress them, but shalt neither drink of the wine, nor gather the grapes; for the worms shall eat them.
Nou va plante e kiltive chan rezen yo, men nou p ap bwè diven, ni ranmase fwi yo, paske vè va devore yo.
40 Thou shalt have olive trees throughout all thy coasts, but thou shalt not anoint thyself with the oil; for thine olive shall cast his fruit.
Nou va genyen pye doliv nan tout teritwa nou yo, men nou p ap onksyone nou avèk lwil, paske fwi doliv yo va tonbe.
41 Thou shalt beget sons and daughters, but thou shalt not enjoy them; for they shall go into captivity.
“Nou va gen fis ak fi, men yo p ap pou nou, paske yo va antre an kaptivite.
42 All thy trees and fruit of thy land shall the locust consume.
“Krikèt va posede tout bwa ak pwodwi latè nou yo.
43 The stranger that is within thee shall get up above thee very high; and thou shalt come down very low.
“Etranje ki pami nou an, va leve pi wo e pi wo ke nou, men nou va desann piba, e piba.
44 He shall lend to thee, and thou shalt not lend to him: he shall be the head, and thou shalt be the tail.
Li va prete nou lajan, men nou p ap gen pou prete li. Li va tèt, nou menm, nou va ke.
45 Moreover all these curses shall come upon thee, and shall pursue thee, and overtake thee, till thou be destroyed; because thou hearkenedst not unto the voice of Yhwh thy God, to keep his commandments and his statutes which he commanded thee:
“Konsa tout madichon sa yo va vini sou nou pou pran nou jiskaske nou fin detwi, akoz nou pa t obeyi SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an. Nou pa t kenbe Kòmandman Li yo ak lwa Li yo, ke Li te kòmande nou.
46 And they shall be upon thee for a sign and for a wonder, and upon thy seed for ever.
“Madichon sa yo va devni yon sign ak yon mèvèy pou nou ak desandan nou yo jis pou tout tan.
47 Because thou servedst not Yhwh thy God with joyfulness, and with gladness of heart, for the abundance of all things;
Akoz nou pa t sèvi SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, pou nou ta twouve tout bagay, avèk jwa ak kè kontan.
48 Therefore shalt thou serve thine enemies which Yhwh shall send against thee, in hunger, and in thirst, and in nakedness, and in want of all things: and he shall put a yoke of iron upon thy neck, until he have destroyed thee.
Pou sa, nou va sèvi lènmi nou yo ke SENYÈ a va voye kont nou, nan grangou, nan swaf, nan toutouni ak nan manke tout bagay. Konsa, Li va mete yon jouk fèt an fè sou kou nou jiskaske Li fin detwi nou.
49 Yhwh shall bring a nation against thee from far, from the end of the earth, as swift as the eagle flieth; a nation whose tongue thou shalt not understand;
“SENYÈ a va mennen yon nasyon kont nou soti lwen nan dènye pwent latè, tankou èg desann; yon nasyon ak yon langaj nou p ap konprann,
50 A nation of fierce countenance, which shall not regard the person of the old, nor shew favour to the young:
yon nasyon, avèk figi fewòs, ki p ap gen respè pou ansyen yo, ni montre favè a jèn yo.
51 And he shall eat the fruit of thy cattle, and the fruit of thy land, until thou be destroyed: which also shall not leave thee either grain, wine, or oil, or the increase of thy kine, or flocks of thy sheep, until he have destroyed thee.
Yo va manje fwi a twoupo nou yo ak pwodwi a tè nou yo jiskaske nou fin detwi. Yo p ap kite anyen, ni diven nèf la, ni lwil, ni fwi a twoupo nou yo oswa bann mouton nou yo jiskaske yo fè nou mouri.
52 And he shall besiege thee in all thy gates, until thy high and fenced walls come down, wherein thou trustedst, throughout all thy land: and he shall besiege thee in all thy gates throughout all thy land, which Yhwh thy God hath given thee.
Yo va mete syèj sou nou nan tout vil nou yo jiskaske miray wo byen fòtifye nan sila nou te mete konfyans nou yo tonbe atravè peyi nou an. Yo va fè syèj sou nou nan vil nou yo nan tout peyi ke SENYÈ a te bannou an.
53 And thou shalt eat the fruit of thine own body, the flesh of thy sons and of thy daughters, which Yhwh thy God hath given thee, in the siege, and in the straitness, wherewith thine enemies shall distress thee:
“Konsa, nou va vin manje pitit a pwòp vant nou, chè a fis nou yo avèk fi nou yo ke SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, te bannou yo, pandan syèj la, ak tan rèd lan lè lènmi nou yo oprime nou.
54 So that the man that is tender among you, and very delicate, his eye shall be evil toward his brother, and toward the wife of his bosom, and toward the remnant of his children which he shall leave:
“Nonm pami nou ki byen rafine e ki janti a va vin sovaj anvè frè li, anvè madanm ke li renmen anpil la, ak anvè tout lòt pitit li ki rete yo,
55 So that he will not give to any of them of the flesh of his children whom he shall eat: because he hath nothing left him in the siege, and in the straitness, wherewith thine enemies shall distress thee in all thy gates.
jis li p ap bay menm youn nan yo okenn nan chè a pitit li ke li va manje a; akoz nanpwen anyen ki rete, pandan syèj la ak tan di anpil la, pa sila ke lènmi nou yo va oprime nou nan tout vil nou yo.
56 The tender and delicate woman among you, which would not adventure to set the sole of her foot upon the ground for delicateness and tenderness, her eye shall be evil toward the husband of her bosom, and toward her son, and toward her daughter,
“Fanm pami nou ki byen rafine e ki janti a, ki pa t ap eseye menm mete pye li atè tèlman li rafine e janti, li va vin sovaj anvè mari li ke li renmen anpil la, anvè fis li avèk fi li,
57 And toward her young one that cometh out from between her feet, and toward her children which she shall bear: for she shall eat them for want of all things secretly in the siege and straitness, wherewith thine enemy shall distress thee in thy gates.
epi anvè vant ki sòti antre janm li yo lè l fè pitit e anvè pitit li yo ke li fè; paske li va manje yo an sekrè akoz mank tout lòt bagay pandan syèj la, e akoz soufrans pa sila lènmi nou va oprime nou nan vil nou yo.
58 If thou wilt not observe to do all the words of this law that are written in this book, that thou mayest fear this glorious and fearful name, YHWH THY GOD;
“Konsa, si nou pa fè atansyon pou swiv tout pawòl a lwa sila yo ki ekri nan liv sila yo, avèk krent non sa a ki plen onè e ki mèvèye la, SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an,
59 Then Yhwh will make thy plagues wonderful, and the plagues of thy seed, even great plagues, and of long continuance, and sore sicknesses, and of long continuance.
alò, SENYÈ a va mennen toumant ekstrawòdinè vin sou nou avèk desandan nou yo, menm gran toumant ki sevè e ki dire anpil, epidemi ki pa janm fini, e maladi ki rete mize.
60 Moreover he will bring upon thee all the diseases of Egypt, which thou wast afraid of; and they shall cleave unto thee.
Li va fè retounen sou nou tout maladi Égypte ke nou pè yo e yo va kole sou nou.
61 Also every sickness, and every plague, which is not written in the book of this law, them will Yhwh bring upon thee, until thou be destroyed.
Osi, tout kalite maladi ak toumant ki pa menm ekri nan liv lalwa sila a, SENYÈ a va mennen yo sou nou jiskaske nou fin detwi.
62 And ye shall be left few in number, whereas ye were as the stars of heaven for multitude; because thou wouldest not obey the voice of Yhwh thy God.
“Konsa, nou va rete piti an kantite, malgre avan nou te gran an kantite tankou zetwal syèl yo, akoz ke nou pa t obeyi SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an.
63 And it shall come to pass, that as Yhwh rejoiced over you to do you good, and to multiply you; so Yhwh will rejoice over you to destroy you, and to bring you to nought; and ye shall be plucked from off the land whither thou goest to possess it.
“Li va rive ke menm jan SENYÈ a te fè kè kontan sou nou pou fè nou pwospere e miltipliye nou an; konsa, SENYÈ a va fè kè kontan sou nou pou fè nou peri e detwi nou. Nou va chire sòti nan tè ke nou ap antre pou posede a.
64 And Yhwh shall scatter thee among all people, from the one end of the earth even unto the other; and there thou shalt serve other gods, which neither thou nor thy fathers have known, even wood and stone.
“Anplis, SENYÈ a va fè nou gaye pami tout pèp la jis soti nan pwent latè pou rive nan lòt la. Epi la, nou va sèvi lòt dye yo, bwa avèk wòch, ke nou menm avèk zansèt nou yo pa t janm konnen.
65 And among these nations shalt thou find no ease, neither shall the sole of thy foot have rest: But Yhwh shall give thee there a trembling heart, and failing of eyes, and sorrow of mind:
Pami nasyon sila yo, nou p ap twouve repo, ni p ap gen plas repo pou pla pye nou. Men la, SENYÈ a va bannou kè sote, zye ki febli ak nanm ki pèdi espwa.
66 And thy life shall hang in doubt before thee; and thou shalt fear day and night, and shalt have none assurance of thy life:
“Konsa, lavi nou va pandye nan dout devan nou. Nou va gen gwo laperèz lannwit kon lajounen, ni nou p ap gen asirans lavi nou.
67 In the morning thou shalt say, Would God it were even! and at even thou shalt say, Would God it were morning! for the fear of thine heart wherewith thou shalt fear, and for the sight of thine eyes which thou shalt see.
“Nan maten, nou va di: ‘Pito lannwit te rive’, e nan aswè, nou va di: ‘Pito se te maten!’ akoz krent kè nou ki bannou laperèz e pou vizyon a zye nou ke yo va wè.
68 And Yhwh shall bring thee into Egypt again with ships, by the way whereof I spake unto thee, Thou shalt see it no more again: and there ye shall be sold unto your enemies for bondmen and bondwomen, and no man shall buy you.
“SENYÈ a va mennen nou retounen an Égypte nan gwo bato, pa chemen ke m te pale nou an: ‘Nou p ap janm wè li ankò!’ Epi la, nou va ofri tèt nou menm pou vann a lènmi nou yo kòm esklav mal ak femèl, men p ap gen moun pou achte nou.”
