Deuteronomy 7
1 When the LORD your God shall bring you into the land where you go to possess it, and has cast out many nations before you, the Hittites, and the Girgashites, and the Amorites, and the Canaanites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, seven nations greater and mightier than you;
“Lè SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, mennen nou vini nan peyi kote nou ap antre pou posede a, e chase devan nou anpil lòt nasyon, Etyen yo, Gigachyen yo, Amoreyen yo, avèk Kanaaneyen yo, Perezit yo, Evyen yo, ak Jebizyen yo, sèt nasyon ki pi gran e ki pi pwisan ke nou yo;
2 And when the LORD your God shall deliver them before you; you shall strike them, and utterly destroy them; you shall make no covenant with them, nor show mercy unto them:
epi lè SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, delivre yo devan nou e nou fin bat yo, alò, nou va detwi yo nèt. Nou p ap fè okenn akò avèk yo e nou p ap montre yo okenn favè.
3 Neither shall you make marriages with them; your daughter you shall not give unto his son, nor his daughter shall you take unto your son.
Anplis, nou p ap marye avèk yo. Nou pa pou bay fi nou yo bay fis pa yo, ni nou p ap pran fi pa yo pou fis nou yo.
4 For they will turn away your son from following me, that they may serve other gods: so will the anger of the LORD be kindled against you, and destroy you suddenly.
Paske yo va detounen fis nou yo lwen de sèvi Mwen, pou sèvi lòt dye yo. Konsa, kòlè SENYÈ a va limen kont nou, e Li va detwi nou byen vit.
5 But thus shall all of you deal with them; all of you shall destroy their altars, and break down their images, and cut down their groves, and burn their graven images with fire.
Men se konsa nou va fè yo: nou va chire lotèl yo, kraze pilye sakre yo, koupe an mòso tout poto Ashera yo, e brile imaj taye yo avèk dife.
6 For you are an holy people unto the LORD your God: the LORD your God has chosen you to be a special people unto himself, above all people that are upon the face of the earth.
Paske nou se yon pèp ki sen a SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an. SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, te chwazi nou kòm yon pèp ki pou pwòp posesyon pa li pami tout pèp ki sou fas latè yo.
7 The LORD did not set his love upon you, nor choose you, because all of you were more in number than any people; for all of you were the few of all people:
“SENYÈ a pa t plase lanmou Li sou nou ni chwazi nou akoz ke nou te plis an kantite ke tout lòt pèp yo, paske nou te pi piti pase tout pèp yo,
8 But because the LORD loved you, and because he would keep the oath which he had sworn unto your fathers, has the LORD brought you out with a mighty hand, and redeemed you out of the house of bondmen, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt.
men akoz SENYÈ a te renmen nou e te kenbe sèman ke Li te fè a zansèt nou yo, SENYÈ a te mennen nou sòti pa yon men pwisan, e te peye ranson nou soti nan kay esklavaj la, soti nan men Farawon, wa Égypte la.
9 Know therefore that the LORD your God, he is God, the faithful God, which keeps covenant and mercy with them that love him and keep his commandments to a thousand generations;
“Konsa, konnen ke SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, se Li ki Dye a, Bondye ki fidèl la, ki kenbe akò Li ak lanmou dous Li pou jis rive nan mil jenerasyon avèk sila ki renmen Li yo e ki kenbe kòmandman Li yo,
10 And repays them that hate him to their face, to destroy them: he will not be slack to him that hates him, he will repay him to his face.
men ki rekonpanse sila ki rayi Li yo devan figi yo, pou detwi yo. Li p ap fè reta avèk sila ki rayi Li a. Li va rekonpanse li devan figi li.
11 You shall therefore keep the commandments, and the statutes, and the judgments, which I command you this day, to do them.
“Pou sa, nou va kenbe kòmandman yo, lwa avèk jijman ke Mwen ap kòmande nou yo jodi a, pou nou fè.
12 Wherefore it shall come to pass, if all of you hearken to these judgments, and keep, and do them, that the LORD your God shall keep unto you the covenant and the mercy which he swore unto your fathers:
“Epi li va vin rive ke akoz nou te koute jijman sa yo, nou te kenbe e te fè yo, ke SENYÈ Bondye nou an, va kenbe nou avèk akò Li ak lanmou dous ke Li te sèmante vè zansèt nou yo.
13 And he will love you, and bless you, and multiply you: he will also bless the fruit of your womb, and the fruit of your land, your corn, and your wine, and your oil, the increase of your cattle, and the flocks of your sheep, in the land which he swore unto your fathers to give you.
Li va renmen nou, beni nou, e fè nou vin miltipliye. Li va, osi, beni fwi a vant nou, fwi a tè nou, e diven nèf ak lwil nou, kwasans a twoupo nou, avèk jenn bann mouton nou, nan peyi ke Li te sèmante a zansèt nou yo pou bannou.
14 You shall be blessed above all people: there shall not be male or female barren among you, or among your cattle.
Nou va beni plis ke tout pèp. P ap gen ni mal, ni femèl k ap esteril pami nou ni pami bèt nou yo.
15 And the LORD will take away from you all sickness, and will put none of the evil diseases of Egypt, which you know, upon you; but will lay them upon all them that hate you.
“Senyè a va retire pami nou tout maladi; epi Li pa p mete sou nou okenn nan move maladi Égypte ke nou te konnen yo, men Li va mete yo sou tout sila ki rayi nou yo.
16 And you shall consume all the people which the LORD your God shall deliver you; your eye shall have no pity upon them: neither shall you serve their gods; for that will be a snare unto you.
Nou va devore tout pèp ke SENYÈ Bondye nou an, va livre bannou. Zye nou p ap bay yo pitye, ni nou p ap sèvi dye pa yo, paske sa ta yon pèlen pou nou.
17 If you shall say in your heart, These nations are more than I; how can I dispossess them?
“Si nou ta di nan kè nou: ‘Nasyon sa yo pi gran ke nou; kijan mwen kapab chase yo?’
18 You shall not be afraid of them: but shall well remember what the LORD your God did unto Pharaoh, and unto all Egypt;
nou pa pou pè yo. Nou va byen sonje sa ke SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, te fè Farawon ak tout Égypte:
19 The great temptations which your eyes saw, and the signs, and the wonders, and the mighty hand, and the stretched out arm, whereby the LORD your God brought you out: so shall the LORD your God do unto all the people of whom you are afraid.
Nou te wè avèk zye nou gwo eprèv, sign avèk mèvèy, men pwisan avèk bwa lonje pa sila ke SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, te mennen nou sòti. Konsa, SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, va fè ak tout pèp ke nou konn pè yo.
20 Moreover the LORD your God will send the hornet among them, until they that are left, and hide themselves from you, be destroyed.
“Anplis, SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, va voye gèp kont yo, jiskaske tout sila ki te rete kache yo vin mouri.
21 You shall not be affrighted at them: for the LORD your God is among you, a mighty God and terrible.
Nou pa pou pè yo, paske SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, nan mitan nou, yon gran Bondye ki mèvèye.
22 And the LORD your God will put out those nations before you by little and little: you may not consume them at once, lest the beasts of the field increase upon you.
“SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, va netwaye retire nasyon sa yo devan nou mòso pa mòso. Nou p ap kab fini avèk yo vit yon sèl kou, paske bèt sovaj yo ta vin peple twòp pou nou.
23 But the LORD your God shall deliver them unto you, and shall destroy them with a mighty destruction, until they be destroyed.
Men SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, va livre yo devan nou, e Li va jete yo nan gran konfizyon jiskaske yo vin detwi.
24 And he shall deliver their kings into your hand, and you shall destroy their name from under heaven: there shall no man be able to stand before you, until you have destroyed them.
Li va livre wa yo nan men nou pou nou fè non yo peri anba syèl la. Nanpwen yon moun ki kab kanpe devan nou jiskaske nou fin detwi yo nèt.
25 The graven images of their gods shall all of you burn with fire: you shall not desire the silver or gold that is on them, nor take it unto you, lest you be snared therin: for it is an abomination to the LORD your God.
“Imaj a dye pa yo, nou va brile yo avèk dife. Nou p ap anvi ni ajan ni lò ki sou yo, ni pran yo pou nou menm, sinon, sa va devni yon pèlen pou nou; paske se yon abominasyon a SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an.
26 Neither shall you bring an abomination into your house, lest you be a cursed thing like it: but you shall utterly detest it, and you shall utterly detest it; for it is a cursed thing.
Nou p ap fè antre yon abominasyon konsa lakay nou, oswa tankou li, nou va vin anba madichon. Rayi li nèt e deteste li, paske li se yon bagay ki anba madichon.”
