Deuteronomy 1
1 These are the words which Moses spoke unto all Israel on this side of the Jordan, in the wilderness, in the plain opposite Suph, between Paran, and Tophel, and Laban, and Chazeroth, and Di-zahab.
Men pawòl Moyiz te di tout pèp Izrayèl la lè yo te lòt bò larivyè Jouden an, nan dezè a, nan plenn Araba ki anfas Souf: Yo te gen dezè Paran an sou yon bò ak lavil Tofèl, Liban, Azewòt ak Dizaab sou lòt bò a.
2 It is a journey of eleven days from Horeb by the way of mount Seir unto Kadesh-barnea'.
Pou mache soti mòn Sinayi rive Kadès-Banea, lè ou swiv wout ki pase nan mòn Seyi a, sa pran onz jou.
3 And it came to pass in the fortieth year, in the eleventh month, on the first day of the month, that Moses spoke unto the children of Israel, according to all that the Lord had commanded him concerning them;
Se premye jou nan onzyèm mwa karantyèm lanne depi yo te soti kite peyi Lejip la Moyiz te fè pale sa a ak pèp Izrayèl la, jan Seyè a te mande l' la.
4 After he had smitten Sichon the king of the Emorites, who dwelt in Cheshbon, and 'Og the king of Bashan, who dwelt at 'Ashtaroth in Edre'i.
Lè sa a, Seyè a te fin bat Siyon, wa peyi Amori a, ki te rete Esbon, ak Og, wa peyi Bazan an, ki te rete Astawòt nan zòn Edreyi.
5 On this side of the Jordan, in the land of Moab, began Moses to explain this law, saying,
Se antan pèp la te lòt bò larivyè Jouden, nan peyi Moab la, Moyiz tanmen esplike yo tou sa Seyè a te di. Li di yo konsa:
6 The Lord our God spoke unto us in Horeb, saying, Ye have tarried long enough at this mount;
-Lè nou te sou mòn Orèb la, nou chonje Seyè a, Bondye nou an, te pale ak nou. Li te di nou: Koulye a, nou rete kont nou sou mòn sa a.
7 Turn you, and take your journey, and go to the mountain of the Emorites, and unto all its neighboring places, in the plain, in the mountain, and in the lowlands, and in the southern country, and by the coast of the sea, to the land of the Canaanites, and unto the Lebanon, up to the great river, the river Euphrates.
Ranmase tout zafè nou pati. Ale nan mòn peyi Amori yo ak nan tout lòt peyi ki toupre l' yo, nan plenn Araba a, nan mòn yo, nan fon yo, nan Negèv la bò sid ak bò gwo lanmè Mediterane a. Ale nan peyi Kanaran an ak nan peyi Liban an jouk nou rive bò gwo larivyè Lefrat la.
8 Behold, I have given up the land before you: go in and take possession of the land which the Lord hath sworn unto your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give it unto them and to their seed after them.
Nou wè! Men m'ap ban nou tout peyi sa yo. Al pran posesyon peyi mwen menm Seyè a, mwen te pwomèt m'ap bay zansèt nou yo, Abraram, Izarak ak Jakòb, pou yo ak pou tout pitit yo ak pitit pitit yo apre yo.
9 And I said unto you at that time, as followeth, I am not able alone to bear you:
Menm lè sa a, mwen te di nou: Mwen pa kapab reskonsab nou tout pou kont mwen, chay la twòp pou mwen.
10 The Lord your God hath multiplied you, and, behold, ye are this day as the stars of heaven for multitude.
Seyè a, Bondye nou an, ban nou anpil pitit, kifè koulye a nou vin anpil, tankou zetwal nan syèl la.
11 May the Lord the God of your fathers make you a thousand times as many more as ye are; and bless you, as he hath spoken unto you.
Se pou Seyè a, Bondye zansèt nou yo, ban nou mil fwa plis pitit pase sa nou gen koulye a. Se pou l' beni nou jan li te pwomèt nou an.
12 How can I by myself alone bear your cumbrance, and your burden, and your strife!
Men, ki jan pou m' fè pote tout chay sa a pou kont mwen, pou m' jwenn solisyon pou tout pwoblèm nou, pou m' regle tout kont nou gen yonn ak lòt?
13 Furnish for yourselves wise and understanding men, and those known among your tribes, and I will place them as chiefs over you.
Se poutèt sa, nan chak branch fanmi nou yo, chwazi kèk nèg ki gen lespri, ki gen bon konprann, ki konn lavi, m'a mete yo chèf pou dirije nou.
14 And ye answered me, and said, The thing which thou hast spoken is good to do.
Lè sa a, nou te reponn mwen, nou te di m' konsa: Sa ou mande nou fè la a bon wi!
15 And I took the chiefs of your tribes, wise and known men, and I set them as heads over you, captains over thousands, and captains over hundreds, and captains over fifties, and captains over tens, and as officers for your tribes.
Se konsa mwen pran nan chak branch fanmi nou yo moun ki gen lespri, moun ki konn lavi, mwen mete yo chèf pou dirije nou. Genyen mwen mete chèf sou mil gason, dòt sou san gason, dòt sou senkant gason, dòt ankò sou dis gason. Mwen te chwazi lòt chèf tou pou chak branch fanmi.
16 And I commanded your judges at that time, saying, Hear the causes between your brethren, and judge righteously, between a man and his brother, and between his stranger.
Lè sa a, men sa mwen te mande chèf nou yo pou yo fè: Chache konnen lè gen kont nan mitan pèp la. N'a regle tout kont yon moun ka gen ak frè parèy li osinon ak moun lòt nasyon k'ap viv nan mitan nou. N'a fè sa san patipri.
17 Ye shall not respect persons in judgment; the small as well as the great shall ye hear; ye shall not be afraid of any man; for the judgment belongeth to God: and the cause that is too hard for you shall ye bring unto me, and I will hear it.
Nou p'ap nan achte figi lè n'ap jije yon bagay. Se pou nou jije tout moun menm jan, kit se yon ti malere, kit se yon grannèg. Nou pa bezwen pè pesonn paske n'ap jije dapre prensip Bondye bay. Lè se yon ka ki twò difisil pou nou, n'a pote l' vin devan mwen, m'a jije l' mwen menm.
18 And I commanded you at that time all the things which ye should do.
Se konsa, menm lè sa a, mwen te ban nou lòd, mwen te di nou sa pou n' fè ak sa pou n' pa fè.
19 And we departed from Horeb, and we went through all that great and terrible wilderness, which ye have seen, by the way of the mountain of the Emorites, as the Lord our God had commanded us; and we came as far as Kadesh-barnea'.
Apre sa, nou leve, nou kite mòn Orèb la. Jan Seyè a, Bondye nou an, te ban nou lòd la, nou mache nan tout gwo dezè ki gen anpil danje ladan l' lan, dezè nou te wè a, nou pran chemen pou n' al nan mòn peyi Amori yo, epi nou rive Kadès Banea.
20 And I said unto you, Ye are come unto the mountain of the Emorites, which the Lord our God doth give unto us.
Lè sa a, mwen di nou: Men nou rive nan mòn peyi Amori yo, peyi Seyè a, Bondye nou an, ap ban nou an.
21 Behold, the Lord thy God hath given up the land before thee: go up and take possession of it, as the Lord the God of thy fathers hath spoken unto thee; do not fear, and be not discouraged.
Gade, men peyi Seyè a, Bondye nou an, ap ban nou an. Ale non, pran peyi a pou nou, jan Seyè a, Bondye zansèt nou yo, te di l' la. Nou pa bezwen pè, kè nou pa pou janm kase.
22 And ye all came near unto me and said, Let us send out men before us, that they may search out for us the land, and bring us word again concerning the way by which we must go up, and the cities to which we shall come.
Lè sa a nou tout, nou vin jwenn mwen, nou di m' konsa: Ann voye kèk nèg pami nou devan pou y' al wè ki jan peyi a ye. Y'a tounen vin esplike nou ki wout pou nou swiv ak nan ki lavil nou ka antre.
23 And the thing was pleasing in my eyes; and I took of you twelve men, one man for every tribe:
Mwen te wè sa nou di m' lan se te bon koze. Se konsa mwen chwazi douz nèg, yonn nan chak branch fanmi.
24 And they turned and went up into the mountain, and came unto the valley of Eshcol, and spied it out.
Yo pati, yo pran chemen mòn lan jouk yo rive nan Fon Echkòl: yo vizite tout zòn lan nèt.
25 And they took in their hand some of the fruit of the land, and brought it down unto us; and they brought us word again, and said, The land which the Lord our God doth give us is good.
Yo pran kèk fwi peyi a donnen, yo pote ban nou. Epi yo di nou peyi Seyè a ap ban nou an se yon bon venn tè.
26 But you would not go up, and ye rebelled against the order of the Lord your God;
Men, nou pa t' vle al ladan l'. Se konsa nou te derefize obeyi lòd Seyè a, Bondye nou an, te ban nou.
27 And ye murmured in your tents, and said, On account of the hatred of the Lord toward us, hath he brought us forth out of the land of Egypt, to deliver us into the hand of the Emorites, to destroy us.
Nou antre lakay nou, nou pran plenyen. Epi nou di se vle Seyè a pa vle wè nou! Se poutèt sa li fè nou soti kite peyi Lejip pou l' lage nou nan men moun peyi Amori yo pou yo ka fini ak nou.
28 Whither shall we go up? our brethren have made faint our heart, saying, The people is greater and taller than we; the cities are great and fortified up to heaven; and moreover the sons of the 'Anakim have we seen there.
Kote nou prale koulye a? Moun nou te voye yo dekouraje nou. Yo di nou moun ki nan peyi sa a pi fò pase nou, yo pi bèl wotè pase nou. Lavil yo gran anpil ak gwo ranpa byen wo ki rive jouk nan syèl la. Nou te menm wè kèk moun ras Anak yo la tou.
29 And I said unto you, Have no dread, nor be ye afraid of them.
Men, mwen di nou: Kè nou pa bezwen kase, nou pa bezwen pè moun sa yo.
30 The Lord your God who goeth before you, he it is who will fight for you; all just as he did for you in Egypt before your eyes;
Seyè a, Bondye nou an, ap mache alatèt nou. Li pral goumen pou nou menm jan nou te wè l' fè l' la nan peyi Lejip
31 And in the wilderness which thou hast seen, where the Lord thy God bore thee, as a man doth bear his son, on all the way that ye have gone, until ye came unto this place.
ak nan dezè a. Nou wè ki jan sou tout wout la li pa janm lage nou, tankou yon papa ki pa janm lage pitit li, jouk nou rive bò isit la.
32 Yet in this thing do ye not believe in the Lord your God,
Men, atout mwen te di nou sa, nou pa t' vle mete konfyans nou nan Seyè a, Bondye nou an,
33 Who goeth before you on the way to seek out for you a place for your encamping, in fire by night, to cause you to see on the way in which ye are to go, and in a cloud by day.
li menm ki te pran devan nou sou tout wout la pou l' te ka jwenn kote pou nou moute kan nou. Lannwit, li te mache devan nou nan yon poto dife. Lajounen, nan yon gwo nwaj li te moutre nou chemen pou nou pran.
34 And the Lord heard the voice of your words; and he was wroth, and swore, saying,
Lè Seyè a tande jan nou t'ap plenyen, li te fache anpil, li fè sèman, li di:
35 Surely there shall not one of these men of this evil generation see that good land, which I have sworn to give unto your fathers;
Pa gen yonn nan tout move sije sa yo k'ap viv koulye a k'ap antre nan bon peyi mwen te pwomèt m'ap bay zansèt nou yo,
36 Save Caleb the son of Yephunneh, he shall see it, and to him will I give the land upon which he hath trodden, and to his children; because he hath wholly followed the Lord.
an wetan Kalèb, pitit gason Jefoune a, ki va antre nan peyi sa a. M'a ba li peyi li te al espyonnen an, pou li ak pou pitit li yo, paske li te obeyi m' san gad dèyè.
37 also with me was the Lord angry for your sakes, saying, also thou shalt not go in thither.
Nou lakòz Seyè a te fache ata avè m', epi li di m': Ou menm tou Moyiz, ou p'ap antre nan peyi a.
38 Joshua the son of Nun, who standeth before thee, he shall go in thither: him encourage; for he shall cause Israel to inherit it.
Se Jozye, pitit gason Noun lan, k'ap sèvi avè ou la, ki va antre nan plas ou. Ankouraje l' tande, paske se li menm ki pou fè pèp Izrayèl la antre al pran peyi a.
39 And your little ones, of whom ye said, They will become a prey, and your children who know not this day either good or evil, these shall go in thither; and unto them will I give it, and they shall possess it.
Men, se pitit nou yo, sa nou di ki tapral tonbe anba men lènmi nou yo, timoun nou yo ki koulye a poko konnen sa ki byen ak sa ki mal, se yo menm ki pral antre nan peyi a. Se yo menm mwen pral bay peyi a, se yo menm ki pral rete ladan l'.
40 But as for you, turn you, and take your journey into the wilderness by the way of the Red Sea.
Men nou menm, tounen tounen nou nan dezè a! Pran chemen Lanmè Wouj la ankò!
41 And ye answered and said unto me, We have sinned against the Lord; we indeed will go up and we will fight, according to all that the Lord our God hath commanded us; and ye girded on every man his weapons of war, and ye insisted to go up into the mountain.
Lè sa a nou reponn mwen: Nou rekonèt nou peche kont Seyè a. Nou prale, epi n'a goumen jan Seyè a, Bondye nou an, te ban nou lòd la. Epi nou leve nou pran zam nou. Nou te kwè sa tapral fasil pou nou pran mòn yo.
42 And the Lord said unto me, Say unto them, Go not up, and do not fight; for I am not among you; lest ye be smitten before your enemies.
Men, Seyè a di m' avèti nou: Piga n' al atake, piga n' al fè lènmi nou yo bat nou, paske li p'ap kanpe avèk nou.
43 And I spoke unto you; but ye would not hear; and ye rebelled against the order of the Lord, and you were presumptuous, and went up into the mountain.
Mwen te pale nou, men nou pa t' koute m', nou derefize swiv lòd Seyè a te ban nou. Nou te konprann nou te fò kont kò nou pou n' te al pran mòn lan.
44 And the Emorites, who dwelt in that mountain: came out against you, and they pursued you, as the bees do, and they overthrew you in Seir, as far as Chormah.
Lè sa a, moun peyi Amori yo ki te rete nan mòn yo soti vin kontre ak nou. Tankou yon desen myèl, yo kouri dèyè nou, yo bat nou byen bat nan tout peyi Seyi a rive jouk Oma.
45 And ye returned and wept before the Lord; but the Lord hearkened not to your voice, nor gave ear unto you.
Lè nou tounen, nou kriye nan pye Seyè a, men Seyè a pa t' koute sa nou t'ap di l', li pa t' pran ka nou.
46 And ye tarried in Kadesh many days, according unto the days that ye tarried there.
Se poutèt sa nou te blije pase tout tan sa a nan zòn Kadès la.
