Deuteronomy 31
1 And Moses finished speaking all these words to all the children of Israel;
Konsa Moïse te ale e te pale pawòl sa yo a tout Israël.
2 and said to them, I am this day a hundred and twenty years [old]; I shall not be able any longer to come in or go out; and the Lord said to me, You shall not go over this Jordan.
Li te di yo: “Mwen gen san-ventan daj jodi a. Mwen p ap ka ankò fè antre soti. SENYÈ a te di mwen: ‘Ou p ap travèse Jourdain sila a.’
3 The Lord your God who goes before you, he shall destroy these nations before you, and you shall inherit them: and [it shall be] Joshua that goes before your face, as the Lord has spoken.
Se SENYÈ a, Bondye nou menm nan, ki va travèse devan nou. Li va detwi nasyon sila yo devan nou e nou va deplase yo. Se Josué ki va travèse devan nou, jan SENYÈ a te pale a.
4 And the Lord your God shall do to them as he did to Seon and Og the two kings of the Amorites, who were beyond Jordan, and to their land, as he destroyed them.
SENYÈ a va fè yo menm jan ke Li te fè a Sihon avèk Og, wa a Amoreyen yo, e a peyi pa yo a, lè Li te detwi yo a.
5 And the Lord has delivered them to you; and you shall do to them, as I charged you.
SENYÈ a va livre yo devan nou, e nou va aji avèk yo an akò avèk kòmandman ke mwen menm te kòmande nou yo.
6 Be courageous and strong, fear not, neither be cowardly neither be afraid before them; for [it is] the Lord your God that advances with you in the midst of you, neither will he by any means forsake you, nor desert you.
Rete fò e pran kouraj. Pa pè yo ni tranble devan yo, paske SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, se sila k ap ale avèk nou an. Li p ap fè nou desi, ni li p ap abandone nou.
7 And Moses called Joshua, and said to him before all Israel, Be courageous and strong; for you shall go in before this people into the land which the Lord sware to your fathers to give to them, and you shall give it to them for an inheritance.
Konsa, Moïse te rele Josué e te di li devan tout Israël: “Kenbe fò, pran kouraj, paske ou va ale avèk pèp sa a pou antre nan peyi ke SENYÈ a te sèmante a zansèt pa yo pou ba yo a; epi ou va ba yo li kòm eritaj.
8 And the Lord that goes with you shall not forsake you nor abandon you; fear not, neither be afraid.
Se SENYÈ a k ap prale devan ou. Li va avèk ou. Li p ap fè ou desi, ni abandone ou. Pa pè, ni pèdi kouraj.”
9 And Moses wrote the words of this law in a book, and gave it to the priests the sons of Levi who bear the ark of the covenant of the Lord, and to the elders of the sons of Israel.
Konsa, Moïse te ekri lwa sa a, e li te livre bay li a prèt yo, fis a Lévi yo ki te pote lach akò a SENYÈ a, e a tout ansyen an Israël yo.
10 And Moses charged them in that day, saying, After seven years, in the time of the year of release, in the feast of tabernacles,
Moïse te kòmande yo e te di: “Nan fen chak sèt ane, nan sezon ane remisyon dèt nan Fèt Tonèl Yo,
11 when all Israel come together to appear before the Lord your God, in the place which the Lord shall choose, you shall read this law before all Israel in their ears,
lè tout Israël vini pou parèt devan SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, kote ke Li va chwazi a, nou va li lwa sila a devan tout Israël pou yo tout tande l.
12 having assembled the people, the men, and the women, and the children, and the stranger that is in your cities, that they may hear, and that they may learn to fear the Lord your God; and they shall listen to do all the words of this law.
Rasanble pèp la, gason avèk fanm, ak pitit yo, etranje ki nan vil nou yo, pou yo ka tande aprann gen lakrent SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, epi fè atansyon pou swiv tout pawòl a lwa sila yo.
13 And their sons who have not known shall hear, and shall learn to fear the Lord your God all the days that they live upon the land, into which you go over Jordan to inherit it.
Pitit yo ki pa t konnen, va tande e aprann gen lakrent SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, pou tout tan ke nou viv nan peyi ke nou prèt pou travèse Jourdain an pou posede a.”
14 And the Lord said to Moses, Behold, the days of your death are at hand; call Joshua, and stand you by the doors of the tabernacle of testimony, and I will give him a charge. And Moses and Joshua went to the tabernacle of testimony, and stood by the doors of the tabernacle of testimony.
Alò, SENYÈ a te di a Moïse: “Gade byen, lè pou ou mouri toupre. Rele Josué, e prezante nou menm nan tant asanble a, pou Mwen kapab ba li komisyon li.”
15 And the Lord descended in a cloud, and stood by the doors of the tabernacle of testimony; and the pillar of the cloud stood by the doors of the tabernacle of testimony.
SENYÈ a te vin parèt nan tant lan nan yon pilye nwaj e pilye nwaj la te kanpe nan pòtay tant lan.
16 And the Lord said to Moses, Behold, you shall sleep with your fathers, and this people will arise and go a whoring after the strange gods of the land, into which they are entering: and they will forsake me, and break my covenant, which I made with them.
SENYÈ a te di a Moïse: “Gade byen, ou prèt pou kouche avèk zansèt ou yo. Konsa, pèp sa a va fè jwèt pwostitiye ak dye etranje yo nan peyi kote y ap prale a, pou abandone Mwen, epi va kraze akò Mwen ke Mwen te fè avèk yo a.
17 And I will be very angry with them in that day, and I will leave them and turn my face away from them, and they shall be devoured; and many evils and afflictions shall come upon them; and they shall say in that day, Because the Lord my God is not with me, these evils have come upon me.
Alò, kòlè Mwen va vin limen kont yo nan jou sa a, Mwen va abandone yo e kache figi Mwen a yo menm. Yo va detwi e anpil malè va rive sou yo, jiskaske yo va di nan jou sa a: ‘Èske se pa paske Bondye nou an pa pami nou ke malè sa yo vin rive sou nou?’
18 And I will surely turn away my face from them in that day, because of all their evil doings which they have done, because they turned aside after strange gods.
Men anverite, Mwen va kache figi Mwen nan jou sa a akoz tout mechanste ke yo te fè, paske yo te vire vè lòt dye yo.”
19 And now write the words of this song, and teach it to the children of Israel, and you shall put it into their mouth, that this song may witness for me among the children of Israel to their face.
“Koulye a, akoz sa, ekri chanson sila a pou nou menm e montre li a fis Israël yo. Mete li sou lèv yo, pou chanson sa a kapab yon temwen pou Mwen kont fis Israël yo.
20 For I will bring them into the good land, which I sware to their fathers, to give to them a land flowing with milk and honey: and they shall eat and be filled and satisfy [themselves]; then will they turn aside after other gods, and serve them, and they will provoke me, and break my covenant.
Paske lè Mwen mennen yo antre nan peyi k ap koule avèk lèt avèk siwo myèl la, ke Mwen te sèmante a zansèt pa yo, yo te manje e satisfè, e yo te vin pwospere, alò, yo va vire a lòt dye yo pou sèvi yo, meprize Mwen e kraze akò Mwen an.
21 And this song shall stand up to witness against them; for they shall not forget it out of their mouth, or out of the mouth of their seed; for I know their wickedness, what they are doing here this day, before I have brought them into the good land, which I sware to their fathers.
Epi li va rive ke lè anpil malè avèk twoub vini sou yo, ke chan sa a va fè temwayaj devan yo (paske li p ap bliye pa desandan pa yo); paske Mwen konnen entansyon ke yo ap fòme depi jodi a, avan Mwen mennen yo antre nan peyi ke Mwen te fè sèman pou ba yo a.”
22 And Moses wrote this song in that day, and taught it to the children of Israel.
Konsa, Moïse te ekri chan sa a nan menm jou a e te montre fis Israël yo li.
23 And he charged Joshua, and said, Be courageous and strong, for you shall bring the sons of Israel into the land, which the Lord sware to them, and he shall be with you.
Epi li te bay Josué, fis a Nun nan, komisyon li, e te di: “Kenbe fèm e pran kouraj, paske ou va mennen fis Israël yo antre nan peyi ke mwen te sèmante a yo menm nan, epi mwen va avèk ou.”
24 And when Moses finished writing all the words of this law in a book, even to the end,
Li te vin rive ke lè Moïse te fin ekri pawòl a lwa sa yo nan yon liv soti nan kòmansman jiska lafen,
25 then he charged the Levites who bear the ark of the covenant of the Lord, saying,
ke Moïse te kòmande Levit ki te pote lach akò SENYÈ yo. Li te di:
26 Take the book of this law, and you shall put it in the side of the ark of the covenant of the Lord your God; and it shall be there among you for a testimony.
“Pran liv lalwa a e mete li akote lach akò SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, pou li kapab rete la kòm yon temwen kont nou.
27 For I know your provocation, and your stiff neck; for yet during my life with you at this day, you have been provoking in your conduct toward God: how shall you not also be so after my death?
Paske mwen konnen rebelyon nou ak kou rèd nou. Gade byen, pandan mwen toujou vivan avèk nou jodi a, nou te fè rebelyon kont SENYÈ a. Konbyen anplis, konsa, apre mwen fin mouri?
28 Gather together to me the heads of your tribes, and your elders, and your judges, and your officers, that I may speak in their ears all these words; and I call both heaven and earth to witness against them.
Rasanble pou mwen tout ansyen a tribi nou yo ak ofisye nou yo, pou mwen kapab pale pawòl sila yo pou yo tande e rele sou syèl la avèk tè a pou temwaye kont yo.
29 For I know that after my death you will utterly transgress, and turn aside out of the way which I have commanded you; and evils shall come upon you in the latter days, because you will do evil before the Lord, to provoke him to anger by the works of your hands. And Moses spoke all the words of this song even to the end, in the ears of the whole assembly.
Paske mwen konnen apre lanmò mwen, nou va fè zak konwonpi e vire kite chemen an ke m te kòmande nou an. Epi konsa, malè va swiv nou nan dènye jou yo, paske nou va fè sa ki mal nan zye SENYÈ a, e pwovoke Li a lakòlè avèk zèv men nou.”
Konsa, Moïse te resite pawòl chanson sa a soti nan kòmansman jiska lafen nan zòrèy tout asanble Israël la.
