Deuteronomy 12
1 And these [are] the ordinances and the judgments, which you shall observe to do in the land, which the Lord God of your fathers gives you for an inheritance, all the days which you live upon the land.
“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 You shall utterly destroy all the places in which they served their gods, whose [land] you inherit, on the high mountains and on the hills, and under the thick 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 you shall destroy their altars, and break in pieces their pillars, and you shall cut down their groves, and you shall burn with fire the graven images of their gods, and you shall abolish 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 You shall not do so to the Lord your God.
“Nou p ap aji konsa anvè SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an.
5 But in the place which the Lord your God shall choose in one of your cities to name his name there, and to be called upon, you shall even seek [him] out and go there.
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 you shall carry there your whole burnt offerings, and your sacrifices, and your first fruits, and your vowed-offerings, and your free will offerings, and your offerings of thanksgiving, the firstborn of your herds, and of your flocks.
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 you shall eat there before the Lord your God, and you shall rejoice in all the things on which you shall lay your hand, you and your houses, as the Lord your God has blessed you.
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 You shall not do altogether as we do here today, every man that which is pleasing in his own sight.
“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 hitherto you have not arrived at the rest and the inheritance, which the Lord our God gives you.
paske nou poko rive nan plas repo ak eritaj ke SENYÈ a ap bannou an.
10 And you shall go over Jordan, and shall dwell in the land, which the Lord our God takes as an inheritance for you; and he shall give you rest from all your enemies round about, and you shall dwell safely.
“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 And there shall be a place which the Lord your God shall choose for his name to be called there, there shall you bring all things that I order you today; your whole burnt offerings, and your sacrifices, and your tithes, and the first fruits of your hands, and every choice gift of yours, whatever you shall vow to the Lord your God.
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 you shall rejoice before the Lord your God, you and your sons, and your daughters, and your menservants and your maidservants, and the Levite that is at your gates; because he has no portion or 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 yourself that you offer not your whole burnt offerings in any place which you shall see;
Fè atansyon pou nou pa ofri ofrann brile tout kote ke nou wè,
14 save in the place which the Lord your God shall choose, in one of your tribes, there shall you offer your whole burnt offerings, and there shall you do all things whatever I charge you this day.
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 But you shall kill according to all your desire, and shall eat flesh according to the blessing of the Lord your God, which he has given you in every city; the unclean that is within you and the clean shall eat it on equal terms, as the doe or the stag.
“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 you shall not eat the blood; you shall pour it out on the ground as water.
Sepandan, nou pa pou bwè san an; nou dwe vide li atè tankou dlo.
17 You shall not be able to eat in your cities the tithe of your corn, and of your wine, and of your oil, the firstborn of your herd and of your flock, and all [your] vows as many as you shall have vowed, and your thank-offerings, and the first fruits of your hands.
“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 before the Lord your God you shall eat it, in the place which the Lord your God shall choose for himself, you, and your son, and your daughter, your man-servant, and your maidservant, and the stranger that is within your gates; and you shall rejoice before the Lord your God, on whatever you shall lay your hand.
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 yourself that you do not desert the Levite all the time that you live upon the earth.
Fè atansyon pou nou pa abandone Levit la pandan tout tan ke nou rete nan Peyi a.
20 And if the Lord your God shall enlarge your borders, as he said to you, and you shall say, I will eat flesh; if your soul should desire to eat flesh, you shall eat flesh according to all the desire of your 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 And if the place be far from you, which the Lord your God shall choose for himself, that his name be called upon it, then you shall kill of your herd and of your flock which God shall have given you, even as I commanded you, and you shall eat in your cities according to the desire of your 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 As the doe and the stag are eaten, so shall you eat it; the unclean in you and the clean shall eat it in like manner.
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 Take diligent heed that you eat no blood, for blood [is] the life of it; the life shall not be eaten 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 You shall not eat [it]; you shall pour it out on the ground as water.
Nou p ap bwè li. Nou va vide li atè tankou dlo.
25 You shall not eat it, that it may be well with you and with your sons after you, if you shall do that which is good and pleasing before the Lord your God.
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 But you shall take your holy things, if you have any, and your vowed-offerings, and come to the place which the Lord your God shall choose to have his name named upon it.
“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 you shall sacrifice your whole burnt offerings, you shall offer the flesh upon the altar of the Lord your God; but the blood of your sacrifices you shall pour out at the foot of the altar of the Lord your God, but the flesh you shall eat.
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 Beware and listen, and you shall do all the commands which I charge you, that it may be well with you and with your sons for ever, if you shall do that which is pleasing and good before the Lord your 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 And if the Lord your God shall utterly destroy the nations, to whom you go in there to inherit their land, from before you, and you shall inherit it, and dwell 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 yourself that you seek not to follow them after they are destroyed before you, saying, How do these nations act towards their gods? I will 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 You shall not do so to your God; for they have sacrificed to their gods the abominations of the Lord which he hates, for they burn their sons and their daughters in 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 Every word that I command you this day, it shall you observe to do: you shall not add to it, 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.
