Deuteronomy 32
1 Attend, O heaven, and I will speak; and let the earth hear the words out of my mouth.
“Prete zòrèy nou, O syèl yo; kite mwen pale. Kite tè a tande pawòl a bouch mwen yo.
2 Let my speech be looked for as the rain, and my words come down as dew, as the shower upon the herbage, and as snow upon the grass.
Kite enstriksyon mwen yo tonbe tankou lapli, pawòl mwen yo poze tankou lawouze, tankou ti gout sou zèb fre, ak lapli k ap farinen sou zèb.
3 For I have called on the name of the Lord: assign you greatness to our God.
Paske mwen pwoklame non a SENYÈ a. Bay glwa a Bondye nou an!
4 [As for God], his works [are] true, and all his ways [are] judgment: God [is] faithful, and there is no unrighteousness [in him]; just and holy [is] the Lord.
Wòch la! Zèv Li yo pafè, paske tout chemen li yo jis. Yon Bondye fidèl e san enjistis, dwat e jis ke Li ye.
5 They have sinned, not [pleasing] him; spotted children, a froward and perverse generation.
Yo te fè zak konwonpi anvè Li. Yo pa pitit li akoz defo yo. Yon jenerasyon pèvèti e kwochi,
6 Do you thus recompense the Lord? [is the] people thus foolish and unwise? did not he himself your father purchase you, and make you, and form you?
se konsa nou rekonpanse SENYÈ a, O pèp ki san konprann e ki san sajès? Èske se pa Papa nou, Kreyatè nou an, ki te fè nou e ki te fòme nou?
7 Remember the days of old, consider the years for past ages: ask your father, and he shall relate to you, your elders, and they shall tell you.
Sonje jou tan pase yo, konsidere lane a tout jenerasyon yo. Mande papa nou e li va fè nou konnen, ansyen nou yo e yo va di nou.
8 When the Most High divided the nations, when he separated the sons of Adam, he set the bounds of the nations according to the number of the angels of God.
Lè Pi Wo a te bay nasyon yo eritaj yo, lè Li te separe fis a lòm yo, Li te etabli lizyè a tout pèp la Selon kantite a fis Israël yo.
9 And his people Jacob became the portion of the Lord, Israel was the line of his inheritance.
Paske pòsyon SENYÈ a se pèp Li a. Jacob se don eritaj Li a.
10 He maintained him in the wilderness, in burning thirst and a dry land: he led him about and instructed him, and kept him as the apple of an eye.
Li te twouve li nan yon peyi dezè, nan savann dezole kote van soufle a. Li te antoure li, Li te pran swen li, Li te pwoteje li tankou de zye nan tèt Li.
11 As an eagle would watch over his brood, and yearns over his young, receives them having spread his wings, and takes them up on his back:
Tankou yon èg ki anvayi nich li, ki pann sou jenn pitit li yo, Li te ouvri zèl li yo pou te kenbe yo. Li te pote yo anwo plim li.
12 the Lord alone led them, there was no strange god with them.
SENYÈ a sèl te gide li. Li pa t gen dye etranje ki te avè l.
13 He brought them up on the strength of the land; he fed them with the fruits of the fields; they sucked honey out of the rock, and oil out of the solid rock.
Li te fè li monte sou wo plas tè yo. Yo te manje pwodwi a chan yo. Li te fè li souse siwo myèl nan wòch la, ak lwil nan wòch ki te di:
14 Butter of cows, and milk of sheep, with the fat of lambs and rams, of calves and kids, with fat of kidneys of wheat; and he drank wine, the blood of the grape.
Bòl lèt a bèf yo ak lèt bann kabrit yo, avèk grès jenn ti mouton yo, Belye a ras Basan yo ak kabrit, Avèk ble ki pi fen yo. Nou te bwè san rezen an, diven an menm nou te bwe.
15 So Jacob ate and was filled, and the beloved one kicked; he grew fat, he became thick and broad: then he forsook the God that made him, and departed from God his Saviour.
Men Israël te vin gra e te voye pye. Ou vin gra, gwo e swa. Li te abandone Bondye ki te fè l la, e li te meprize Wòch a delivrans li an.
16 They provoked me to anger with strange gods; with their abominations they bitterly angered me.
Yo te fè Li vin jalou avèk dye etranje yo. Avèk bagay abominab, yo te pwovoke Li a lakòlè.
17 They sacrificed to devils, and not to God; to gods whom they knew not: new and fresh [gods] came in, whom their fathers knew not.
Yo te fè sakrifis a dyab ki pa t Bondye yo, a dye ke yo pa t janm konnen, dye nèf ki fenk parèt, ke zansèt nou yo pa t janm bay lakrent.
18 You have forsaken God that begot you, and forgotten God who feeds you.
Nou te neglije Wòch ki te fè nou an, e nou te bliye Bondye ki te bannou nesans lan.
19 And the Lord saw, and was jealous; and was provoked by the anger of his sons and daughters,
SENYÈ a te wè sa e te meprize yo akoz pwovokasyon fis ak fi Li yo.
20 and said, I will turn away my face from them, and will show what shall happen to them in the last days; for it is a perverse generation, sons in whom is no faith.
“Alò, Li te di: ‘Mwen va kache figi Mwen sou yo. Mwen va wè kijan yo fini; Paske yo se yon jenerasyon pèvès, fis ki pa fidèl.
21 They have provoked me to jealousy with [that which is] not God, they have exasperated me with their idols; and I will provoke them to jealousy with them that are no nation, I will anger them with a nation void of understanding.
‘Yo te fè m jalou avèk sa ki pa Bondye yo. Yo te pwovoke Mwen a lakòlè avèk zidòl yo. Konsa tou, Mwen va fè yo jalou avèk sa ki pa yon pèp yo. Mwen va pwovoke yo a lakòlè avèk yon nasyon ki san konprann.
22 For a fire has been kindled out of my wrath, it shall burn to hell below; it shall devour the land, and the fruits of it; it shall set on fire the foundations of the mountains. (Sheol h7585)
Paske yon dife vin limen nan chalè Mwen, ki brile jis rive nan pati pi fon nan sejou lanmò yo. Li manje latè a avèk tout don li yo, e limen dife a nan fondasyon mòn yo. (Sheol h7585)
23 I will gather evils upon them, and will fight with my weapons against them.
Mwen va ogmante gwo pil malè sou yo. Mwen va depanse flèch Mwen sou yo.
24 [They shall be] consumed with hunger and the devouring of birds, and there shall be irremediable destruction: I will send forth against them the teeth of wild beasts, with the rage of [serpents] creeping on the ground.
Mwen va epwize yo ak gwo grangou, e manje yo ak chalè ki brile, e avèk destriksyon anmè. Mwen va voye pami yo bèt voras, avèk pwazon a bèt ki trennen sou vant.
25 Without, the sword shall bereave them of children, and terror [shall issue] out of the secret chambers; the young man shall perish with the virgin, the suckling with him who has grown old.
Pa deyò, se nepe ki va rache lavi yo, epi pa anndan, gwo laperèz, ni sou jennonm ni vyèj la, tibebe a avèk granmoun cheve blanch lan.
26 I said, I will scatter them, and I will cause their memorial to cease from among men.
Mwen te prèt pou di: “M ap koupe yo an mòso, M ap rache memwa yo soti de lòm,
27 Were it not for the wrath of the enemy, lest they should live long, lest their enemies should combine against them; lest they should say, Our own high arm, and not the Lord, has done all these things.
si M pa t krent ke li t ap pwovoke lènmi an, ke lènmi pa yo ta mal jije pou yo ta di: “Se men nou ki gen viktwa a. Se pa t vrèman SENYÈ a ki fè tout sa.”’
28 It is a nation that has lost counsel, neither is there understanding in them.
Paske yo se yon nasyon ki manke bon konsèy. Yo san konprann.
29 They had not sense to understand: let them reserve these things against the time to come.
Pito ke yo te saj, ke yo te konprann sa, ke yo te konprann avni yo!
30 How should one pursue a thousand, and two rout tens of thousands, if God had not sold them, and the Lord delivered them up?
Kijan yon moun ta kapab chase yon milye, pou de sèl grenn fè di mil sove ale, sof ke Wòch pa yo a te vann yo, sof ke SENYÈ a te livre yo bay.
31 For their gods are not as our God, but our enemies [are] void of understanding.
Anverite, wòch pa yo a pa tankou Wòch nou an. Menm lènmi nou yo kapab jije sa.
32 For their vine [is] of the vine of Sodom, and their vine-branch of Gomorrha: their grape [is] a grape of gall, their cluster [is] one of bitterness.
Paske rezen pa yo sòti nan rezen Sodome, ak chan yo nan Gomorrhe. Rezen pa yo se rezen pwazon. Grap yo anmè.
33 Their wine [is] the rage of serpents, and the incurable rage of asps.
Diven pa yo se pwazon vipè, pwazon mòtèl koulèv kobra.
34 Behold! are not these things stored up by me, and sealed among my treasures?
Èske M pa mete sa nan depo, byen sele nan trezò Mwen?
35 In the day of vengeance I will recompense, whenever their foot shall be tripped up; for the day of their destruction [is] near to them, and the judgments at hand are close upon you.
“‘Vanjans se pou Mwen, avèk revandikasyon, nan lè pye yo va glise, Paske jou malè a yo toupre, E rekonpans yo ap kouri vit sou yo.’
36 For the Lord shall judge his people, and shall be comforted over his servants; for he saw that they were utterly weakened, and failed in the hostile invasion, and were become feeble:
Paske SENYÈ a va jije pèp Li a. Li va fè mizerikòd sou sèvitè Li yo, lè Li wè fòs yo fin disparèt, ke pèsòn pa rete, ni esklav, ni lib.
37 and the Lord said, Where are their gods on whom they trusted?
Li va di: ‘Kote dye yo ye? Wòch kote yo te pran refij la?
38 the fat of whose sacrifices you ate, and you drank the wine of their drink-offerings? let them arise and help you, and be your protectors.
Sila ki te manje grès a sakrifis pa yo a, e ki te bwè diven a bwason pa yo a? Kite yo vin bannou sekou! Kite yo fè kote pou nou kache!
39 Behold, behold that I am [he], and there is no god beside me: I kill, and I will make to live: I will strike, and I will heal; and there is none who shall deliver out of my hands.
Vin wè ke Mwen menm se Li. Nanpwen dye sof ke Mwen. Se Mwen ki mete a lanmò, e se Mwen ki bay lavi. Se Mwen ki te fè blese e se Mwen ki fè gerizon. Nanpwen pèsòn ki kab delivre soti nan men M.
40 For I will lift up my hand to heaven, and swear by my right hand, and I will say, I live for ever.
Anverite, Mwen leve men M vè syèl la E Mwen di: Menm jan ke Mwen viv pou tout tan an,
41 For I will sharpen my sword like lightning, and my hand shall take hold of judgment; and I will render judgment to my enemies, and will recompense them that hate me.
si Mwen file nepe briyan Mwen an, se men M ki kenbe lajistis. Mwen va rann vanjans sou advèsè Mwen yo, epi Mwen va rekonpanse sila ki rayi Mwen yo.
42 I will make my weapons drunk with blood, and my sword shall devour flesh, [it shall glut itself] with the blood of the wounded, and from the captivity of the heads of [their] enemies that rule over them.
M ap fè flèch Mwen yo vin sou ak san, e nepe Mwen va devore chè avèk san a mò yo ak kaptif yo, k ap sòti nan chèf a lènmi yo.’
43 Rejoice, you heavens, with him, and let all the angels of God worship him; rejoice you Gentiles, with his people, and let all the sons of God strengthen themselves in him; for he will avenge the blood of his sons, and he will render vengeance, and recompense justice to his enemies, and will reward them that hate him; and the Lord shall purge the land of his people.
Rejwi, O nasyon avèk pèp pa Li a, paske L ap fè vanjans san a sèvitè Li yo. Li va rann vanjans sou advèsè Li yo, e fè ekspiyasyon pou peyi Li avèk pèp Li a.”
44 And Moses wrote this song in that day, and taught it to the children of Israel; and Moses went in and spoke all the words of this law in the ears of the people, he and Joshua the [son] of Naue.
Alò, Moïse te vin pale tout pawòl a chan sila nan zòrèy a pèp la, li menm avèk Josué, fis a Nun nan.
45 And Moses finished speaking to all Israel.
Lè Moïse te fin pale tout pawòl sila yo a tout Israël,
46 And he said to them, Take heed with your heart to all these words, which I testify to you this day, which you shall command your sons, to observe and do all the words of this law.
li te di yo: “Pran a kè nou tout pawòl avèk sila mwen avèti nou jodi a, ke nou va kòmande fis nou yo pou swiv avèk atansyon, tout pawòl a lalwa sila yo.
47 For this [is] no vain word to you; for it [is] your life, and because of this word you shall live long upon the land, into which you go over Jordan to inherit it.
Paske se pa yon bagay pa aza ke yo ye pou nou. Anverite, se lavi nou yo ye. Pa pawòl sila yo, nou va pwolonje vi nou nan tè ke nou prèt pou travèse Jourdain an pou posede a.
48 And the Lord spoke to Moses in this day, saying,
SENYÈ a te pale avèk Moïse nan menm jou sa a. Li te di:
49 Go up to the mount Abarim, this mountain Nabau which is in the land of Moab over against Jericho, and behold the land of Chanaan, which I give to the sons of Israel:
“Monte sou mòn sila nan Abarim nan, Mòn Nebo, ki nan peyi Moab, anfas Jéricho, e gade sou peyi a Canaan an ke Mwen ap bay a fis Israël yo kòm posesyon an.
50 and die in the mount whither you go up, and be added to your people; as Aaron your brother died in mount Or, and was added to his people.
Epi mouri sou mòn nan kote ou monte a pou vin ranmase a zansèt ou yo, jan Aaron te fè sou Mòn Hor a, e te vin ranmase pa pèp li a;
51 Because you disobeyed my word among the children of Israel, at the waters of strife of Cades in the wilderness of Sin; because you sanctified me not among the sons of Israel.
akoz ou te peche kont Mwen nan mitan fis Israël yo nan dlo a Meriba-Kadès yo, nan dezè Tsin nan; akoz ou pa t trete Mwen tankou sen nan mitan fis Israël yo.
52 You shall see the land before [you], but you shall not enter into it.
Donk, ou va wè peyi a yon distans, men ou p ap ale la, nan peyi ke Mwen ap bay fis Israël yo.”
