Deuteronomy 28
1 And it shall come to pass, if thou wilt hearken diligently unto the voice of the Lord thy God, to observe to do all his commandments which I command thee this day, that the Lord thy God will set thee highest above all nations of the earth.
Si nou koute Seyè a, Bondye nou an, si nou fè tou sa mwen ban nou lòd fè jòdi a, Seyè a va fè nou tounen nasyon ki pi gran pase tout lòt nasyon ki sou latè.
2 And all these blessings shall come upon thee, and overtake thee; because thou wilt hearken unto the voice of the Lord thy God.
Wi, si nou koute Seyè a, Bondye nou an, men benediksyon l'ap vide sou nou:
3 Blessed shalt thou be in the city, and blessed shalt thou be in the field.
Seyè a va beni nou lavil kou andeyò.
4 Blessed shall be the fruit of thy body, and the fruit of thy ground, and the fruit of thy cattle, the increase of thy cattle, and the young of thy flocks.
Seyè a va beni pitit nou yo, rekòt jaden nou yo, pòte bèf nou yo, pòte kabrit nou yo, pòte mouton nou yo ak pòte tout lòt bèt nou yo.
5 Blessed shall be thy basket and thy kneading-through.
Seyè a va beni rekòt ble nou ak rekòt farin nou.
6 Blessed shalt thou be at thy coming in, and blessed shalt thou be at thy going out.
Seyè a va beni nou nan tou sa n'ap fè, depi nan mete men jouk nou bout.
7 The Lord will cause thy enemies that rise up against thee to be smitten before thy face: on one way shall they come out against thee, and on seven ways shall they flee before thee.
Seyè a va fè nou kraze tout lènmi ki va atake nou. Lè y'ap vin sou nou, y'a mache ansanm sou yon sèl chemen. Men, y'a gaye toupatou lè y'ap kraze rak pou nou.
8 The Lord will command upon thee the blessing in thy storehouse, and in all the acquisitions of thy hand; and he trill bless thee in the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee.
Seyè a va beni nou tout tan, l'a beni depo manje nou, l'a beni tou sa n'ap fè. L'a beni nou nan peyi Seyè a, Bondye nou an, va ban nou an.
9 The Lord will raise thee up unto himself as a holy people, as he hath sworn unto thee; if thou wilt keep the commandments of the Lord thy God, and walk in his ways.
Si nou fè tou sa Seyè a, Bondye nou an, mande nou fè, si nou viv jan li vle nou viv la, n'a yon pèp k'ap viv apa nèt pou Seyè a, Bondye nou an, jan l' te fè nou pwomès la.
10 And all the nations of the earth shall see, that thou art called by the name of the Lord; and they shall be afraid of thee.
Lè sa a, tout pèp sou latè va wè Seyè a te chwazi nou pou pote non l', y'a gen respè pou nou.
11 And the Lord will make thee pre-eminent for good, in the fruit of thy body, and in the fruit of thy cattle, and in the fruit of thy ground, in the land which the Lord swore unto thy fathers to give unto thee.
Seyè a va kouvri nou ak benediksyon, l'a ban nou anpil pitit, anpil bèt ak anpil rekòt nan peyi Seyè a te pwomèt zansèt nou yo l'ap ban nou an.
12 The Lord will open unto thee his good treasure, the heaven, to give the rain of thy land in its season, and to bless all the work of thy hand; and thou shalt lend unto many nations, but thou shalt not borrow.
L'a rete nan syèl la, l'a louvri trezò li, l'a voye lapli sou peyi a lè sezon an va rive, l'a beni tout travay n'ap fè. N'a gen pou nou prete tout moun. Nou p'ap janm bezwen mande pesonn prete.
13 And the Lord will constitute thee the head, and not the tail; and thou shalt only be uppermost, and thou shalt not be beneath; if thou wilt hearken unto the commandments of the Lord thy God, which I command thee this day to observe and to do;
Seyè a va mete nou devan, nou p'ap janm dèyè. N'a toujou anwo, nou p'ap janm anba, depi nou swiv tout lòd Seyè a, Bondye nou an, depi nou fè tou sa mwen mande nou fè jòdi a,
14 And thou wilt not go aside from all the words which I command thee this day, to the right, or to the left, to go after strange gods, to serve them.
san nou pa janm kite chemen li mete devan nou an pou n' ale dèyè lòt bondye pou nou sèvi yo.
15 But it shall come to pass, if thou wilt not hearken unto the voice of the Lord thy God, to observe to do all his commandments and his statutes which I command thee this day: that all these curses shall come upon thee, and overtake thee.
Men tou, si nou pa koute Seyè a, Bondye nou an, si nou pa fè tou sa mwen ban nou lòd fè jòdi a, si nou pa swiv regleman mwen ban nou yo, men madichon l'ap ban nou epi k'ap tonbe sou nou:
16 Cursed shalt thou be in the city, and cursed shalt thou be in the field.
Madichon Bondye va tonbe sou nou nan lavil kou andeyò.
17 Cursed shall be thy basket and thy kneading-trough.
Madichon Bondye va tonbe sou rekòt ble nou ak sou rekòt farin nou.
18 Cursed shall be the fruit of thy body, and the fruit of thy land, the increase of thy cattle, and the young of the flocks.
Madichon Bondye va tonbe sou pitit nou yo, sou rekòt jaden nou yo, sou pòte bèf, pòte kabrit ak pòte mouton nou yo.
19 Cursed shalt thou be at thy coming in, and cursed shalt thou be at thy going out.
Madichon Bondye va tonbe sou tou sa n'ap fè, depi nan mete men jouk nou bout.
20 The Lord will send out against thee misfortune, confusion, and failure, in all the occupation of thy hand which thou mayest engage in; until thou be destroyed, and until thou perish quickly; because of the wickedness of thy doings, that thou hast forsaken me.
Si nou fè bagay ki mal, si nou vire do bay Seyè a, l'ap voye tout kalite madichon sou nou: Nou p'ap konn sa pou n' fè, n'a gen kè sere nan tou sa n'ap fè jouk n'a rete konsa n'a fin disparèt nèt, paske nou te fè bagay ki mal, nou te vire do ba li.
21 The Lord will cause the pestilence to cleave unto thee, until it have consumed thee from off the land, whither thou goest to possess it.
Seyè a ap voye yon sèl move maladi po k'ap fini nèt ak nou nan peyi nou pral pran pou nou an.
22 The Lord will smite thee with consumption, and with fever, and with inflammation, and with extreme burning, and with drought, and with blasting, and with mildew; and they shall pursue thee until thou be lost.
L'ap voye sou nou epidemi, move lafyèb, maladi anfle, chalè pou toufe moun, jouk n'a mouri. L'a voye chechrès, vèmen ak pichon pou detwi rekòt nou yo. Malè sa yo va tonbe sou nou jouk n'a fin disparèt nèt.
23 And thy heavens that are over thy head shall be copper, and the earth that is under thee shall be iron.
Syèl la p'ap bay yon degout lapli menm. Tè a va vin di kou wòch.
24 The Lord will give as the rain of thy land powder and dust: from heaven shall it come down upon thee, until thou be destroyed.
Nan plas lapli, Seyè a va fè pousyè tè ak sab kouvri nou jouk nou mouri.
25 The Lord will cause thee to be smitten before thy enemies: on one way shalt thou go out against them, and on seven ways shalt thou flee before them; and thou shalt become a horror unto all the kingdoms of the earth.
L'a fè lènmi nou yo bat nou. N'a pran yon sèl chemen ansanm pou n' atake yo. Men, n'a gaye toupatou lè n'a pran rak devan yo. Tout moun sou latè pral mete men nan tèt lè y'a wè sa ki rive nou.
26 And thy carcass shall become food unto all the fowls of the heavens, and unto the beasts of the earth, but with no one to scare them away.
Lè n'a mouri, se zwazo ak bèt nan bwa ki pral manje kadav nou yo san p'ap gen pesonn pou pouse yo ale.
27 The Lord will smite thee with the inflammatory disease of Egypt, and with the hemorrhoids, and with the scab, and with the itch, whereof thou shalt not be able to be healed.
Seyè a va fè bouton leve sou tout kò nou, menm jan li te fè moun peyi Lejip yo, n'a gen apse, lagal, pyas, epi nou p'ap ka jwenn gerizon pou maladi po sa yo.
28 The Lord will sinite thee with madness, and with blindness, and with confusion of heart;
Seyè a va fè nou pèdi tèt nou, nou p'ap konprann sa n'ap fè, nou p'ap konnen kote pou n' mete kò nou.
29 And thou shalt grope about at noonday, as the blind gropeth about in the darkness, and thou shalt not prosper in thy ways; and thou shalt be only oppressed and robbed all the days, but with no one to help.
Gwo midi, n'a tatonnen tankou avèg k'ap mache nan fènwa. Nou p'ap jwenn rannman nan ankenn travay n'ap fè. Tout tan moun ap malmennen nou, y'ap vòlè nou, lèfini p'ap gen pesonn pou pote nou sekou.
30 A wife wilt thou betroth, and another man shall lie with her; a house wilt thou build, and thou shalt not dwell therein; a vineyard wilt thou plant, and thou shalt not redeem it.
N'a fiyanse ak yon fi, men se yon lòt gason ki va kouche ak li. N'a bati yon kay, men nou p'ap janm rete ladan l'. N'a plante yon jaden rezen, men nou p'ap janm jwi l'.
31 Thy ox shall be slain before thy eyes, and thou shalt not eat thereof; thy ass shall be violently taken away from before thy face, and shall not be brought back to thee; thy sheep shall be given unto thy enemies, without any one to help thee.
Y'a touye bèf nou yo la devan je nou, men nou p'ap ka mete yon ti moso nan vyann li nan bouch nou. Y'ap pran bourik nou nan bab nou al avè l', yo p'ap janm renmèt nou li. Y'a bay lènmi nou yo tout mouton nou yo, epi p'ap gen pesonn pou pote nou sekou.
32 Thy sons and thy daughters shall be given unto another people, and thy eyes shall look on, and fail with longing for them all the day long; but without any power in thy hand.
N'a wè ak je nou y'ap pran pitit gason ak pitit fi nou yo bay moun lòt nasyon. Tout lè n'a anvi wè yo ankò, men p'ap gen anyen nou ka fè pou sa.
33 The fruit of thy soil, and all thy exertion, shall a nation which thou knowest not eat up; and thou shalt only be oppressed and crushed all the days.
Moun nou pa janm konnen va manje tou sa ki nan jaden nou ak tout pwofi travay nou. Se tout tan y'a malmennen nou, y'a maltrete nou.
34 And thou shalt become mad from the sight of thy eyes which thou wilt see.
Lè n'a wè tout bagay sa yo rive nou, n'a pèdi tèt nou!
35 The Lord will smite thee with a sore inflammation upon the knees, and upon the legs, of which thou shalt not be able to be healed, from the sole of thy foot unto the top of thy head.
Seyè a va ban nou yon sèl malenng nan jenou ak sou kwis janm nou ki p'ap janm geri. Bouton ap parèt sou tout kò nou, depi nan pye jouk nan tèt.
36 The Lord will drive thee, and thy king whom thou wilt set over thee, unto a nation which neither thou nor thy fathers have known; and thou wilt serve there strange gods, of wood and stone.
Seyè a pral depòte nou ansanm ak tout wa nou te mete alatèt nou, nan yon peyi etranje ni nou menm ni zansèt nou yo pa t' janm konnen. Lè n'a rive la, n'a sèvi zidòl fèt an bwa ak zidòl fèt ak wòch.
37 And thou shalt become an astonishment, a proverb, and a by-word, among all the nations whither the Lord will lead thee.
Nan tout peyi kote Seyè a pral gaye nou yo, moun pral sezi wè sa ki rive nou, y'a pase nou anba kont betiz, y'a fè chante sou nou.
38 Much seed wilt thou carry out into the field, yet but little shalt thou gather in; for the locust shall consume it.
N'a plante anpil grenn nan jaden nou, men n'a rekòlte yon ti kras, paske krikèt va manje pifò.
39 Vineyards wilt thou plant and dress; but wine shalt thou not drink nor lay up; for the worms shall eat them.
N'a plante jaden rezen, n'a okipe yo byen. Men, nou p'ap jwenn rezen ni pou nou rekòlte, ni pou fè diven pou nou bwè, paske vèmen va fin manje tout.
40 Olive-trees wilt thou have throughout all thy borders; but with the oil shalt thou not anoint thyself; for thy olive shall cast the fruit.
Pye oliv va pouse toupatou nan peyi nou an, men nou p'ap gen yon ti degout lwil oliv, paske tout grenn oliv yo ap koule.
41 Sons and daughters wilt thou beget; but they shall not remain thine: for they shall go into captivity.
N'a fè pitit fi ak pitit gason, men yo p'ap pou nou, paske lènmi nou yo ap fè yo prizonye, y'ap depòte yo.
42 All thy trees and the fruit of thy land shall the cricket strip bare.
Krikèt pral manje tout pyebwa nou yo ak tout ti plant ki nan jaden nou yo.
43 The stranger that is in the midst of thee shall get up above thee higher and higher; but thou shalt come down lower and lower;
Moun lòt nasyon k'ap viv nan mitan nou va vin pi fò pase nou. Nou menm, chak jou, n'a pèdi fil.
44 He shall lend to thee, and thou shalt not lend to him; he shall become the head, and thou shalt become the tail.
Se yo menm ki va gen lajan pou yo prete nou. Nou menm nou p'ap gen anyen pou n' prete yo. Se yo ki va devan, nou menm nou pral dèyè nèt.
45 And there shall come upon thee all these curses, and they shall pursue thee, and overtake thee, till thou be destroyed; because thou didst not hearken unto the voice of the Lord thy God, to keep his commandments and his statutes which he hath commanded thee;
Tout giyon sa yo va tonbe sou nou. Kote nou pase y'a pase dèyè nou. Y'a rete sou nou jouk y'a fini nèt ak nou. Tou sa, paske nou pa t' koute sa Seyè a, Bondye nou an, di nou, nou pa t' fè tou sa li te mande nou fè nan lòd ak regleman li te ban nou yo.
46 And they shall remain on thee for a sign and for a token, and on thy seed, for ever.
Madichon sa yo va sèvi ni pou nou ni pou pitit nou yo pou moutre nou kalite mèvèy ak mirak Bondye ka fè.
47 For the reason that thou didst not serve the Lord thy God with joyfulness, and with gladness of heart, while there was an abundance of all things;
Bondye te ban nou tou sa nou te bezwen. Men malgre sa, nou pa t' sèvi l' tout bon ak kè kontan.
48 Therefore shalt thou serve thy enemies whom the Lord will send out against thee, in hunger, and in thirst, and in nakedness, and in want of every thing; and they will put a yoke of iron upon thy neck, until they have destroyed thee.
Se poutèt sa, nou pral sèvi lènmi Seyè a pral voye sou nou. Nou pral soufri grangou, swaf dlo, toutouni, dizèt ak tout kalite mizè. Seyè a pral fè lènmi yo kraze nou anba men yo, jouk y'a fini nèt ak nou.
49 The Lord will bring up against thee a nation from afar, from the end of the earth, as the eagle rusheth down; a nation whose tongue thou wilt not understand;
Seyè a pral mennen yon nasyon soti byen lwen nan dènye bout latè, yon nasyon ki pale yon lang nou p'ap konprann, yo pral vare sou nou tankou malfini sou poul.
50 A nation of a fierce countenance, that will not have respect for the old, nor show favor to the young;
Se moun ki gen kè di. Yo p'ap respekte vye granmoun, ni yo p'ap gen pitye pou timoun.
51 And it will eat the fruit of thy cattle, and the fruit of thy soil, until thou be destroyed; so that it will not leave unto thee corn, wine, or oil, the increase of thy cattle, or the young of thy flocks, until it have ruined thee.
Y'a manje pwofi bèt nou yo, ak rekòt jaden nou yo jouk y'a kite nou mouri grangou. Yo p'ap kite anyen pou nou, ni farin, ni diven, ni lwil, ni pòte bèf nou yo ni pòte mouton nou yo, jouk y'a fini nèt ak nou.
52 And it will besiege thee in all thy gates, until thy high and strong walls come down, wherein thou trustest, throughout all thy land; and it will besiege thee in all thy gates throughout all thy land, which the Lord thy God hath given thee.
Y'a atake nou. Y'a sènen tout lavil nou yo, jouk y'a fin kraze gwo miray byen wo ki te sèvi nou ranpa, miray nou te kwè ki ta ka toujou pwoteje nou yo. Wi, y'a fèmen nou, y'a sènen tout lavil nou yo, toupatou nan peyi Seyè a, Bondye nou an, te fè nou kado a.
53 And thou shalt eat the fruit of thy own body, the flesh of thy sons and of thy daughters, whom the Lord thy God hath given thee, in the siege, and in the straitness, wherewith thy enemy will distress thee.
Lè lènmi nou yo va sènen nou nan lavil nou yo, y'a mete nou nan yon sèl kalite mizè ak kè sere, n'a sitèlman grangou, n'a manje pwòp pitit nou yo, pitit gason ak pitit fi Seyè a, Bondye nou an, te ban nou.
54 The man that is the most tender among thee, and who is very delicate, —his eye shall look enviously toward his brother, and toward the wife of his bosom, and toward the remnant of his children whom he may spare;
Menm moun nou konnen ki pi bon nan mitan nou an, moun ki pa janm nan kont ak pesonn lan, enben menm li menm, l'a fèmen kè l', li p'ap konn frè, li p'ap konn madanm li te renmen an, ni ankenn pitit nan sa ki rete l' yo,
55 So as not to give to any of them of the flesh of his children which he may eat; because there is nothing left unto him, in the siege, and in the straitness, wherewith thy enemy will distress thee in all thy gates.
pou li pa bay pesonn nan vyann pitit li l'ap manje a, paske ak lènmi k'ap sènen nou nan lavil nou yo, ap gen yon sèl mizè ak kè sere nan mitan lavil nou yo, ata li menm, l'a sitèlman grangou, l'a blije manje pwòp pitit li, epi li p'ap bay pesonn ladan l'.
56 The woman, the most tender among thee, and the most delicate, who hath never adventured to set the sole of her foot upon the ground for delicateness and tenderness, —her eye shall look enviously toward the husband of her bosom, and toward her son, and toward her daughter,
Menm fanm nou konnen ki pi bon moun nan mitan nou an, fanm ki pa ta janm ap mache nan lari tèlman li gen bon jan ak bon levasyon an, li va fèmen kè l', li p'ap konn ni mari li renmen anpil la, ni pitit fi, ni pitit gason.
57 And toward her young one that is come from between her feet, and toward her children which she hath born; for she shall eat them for want of every thing secretly, in the siege and in the straitness, wherewith thy enemy will distress thee in thy gates.
Pou li pa separe ak yo, l'a kache kò l' pou yo pa wè l' lè l'ap manje pitit li fenk fè a, ansanm ak tout manman vant lan. Paske, avèk lènmi k'ap sènen nou nan lavil nou yo, ap gen yon sèl mizè ak kè sere, p'ap gen anyen pou manje. Lè sa a, l'a kache kò l' pou l' pa bay yo anyen nan sa l'ap manje a.
58 If thou wilt not observe to do all the words of this law which are written in this book; to fear this glorious and fearful name, the Lord thy God:
Si nou pa swiv tout regleman ki ekri nan liv lalwa sa a, si nou pa gen krentif pou Bondye nou an, Seyè ki gen anpil pouvwa a, Bondye moun fèt pou respekte a,
59 Then will the Lord render peculiar thy plagues, and the plagues of thy seed, plagues great, and of long continuance, and sicknesses sore, and of long continuance.
Seyè a va voye gwo malè sa yo sou nou ak sou pitit nou yo, l'a voye gwo epidemi ki pa tande rete, move maladi ki pa konn renmèd.
60 And he will bring back upon thee all the diseases of Egypt, of which thou wast afraid; and they shall cleave unto thee.
L'a voye sou nou ankò tout malè ki te tonbe sou moun peyi Lejip yo, malè ki te fè nou tranble yo. Nou p'ap janm ka soti anba yo.
61 Also every sickness, and every plague which is not written in the book of this law, will the Lord bring upon thee, until thou be destroyed.
Sa ki pi rèd ankò, Seyè a va voye sou nou tout kalite epidemi ak maladi yo pa pale nan liv lalwa Seyè a jouk la fini nèt avèk nou.
62 And ye shall be left but few in number, instead of that ye once were as the stars of heaven for multitude; because thou didst not hearken unto the voice of the Lord thy God.
Epi nou menm, moun pèp Izrayèl yo, ki te anpil tankou zetwal ki nan syèl la, n'a tounen yon ti ponyen moun, paske nou pa t' koute sa Seyè a, Bondye nou an, te di nou.
63 And it shall come to pass, that, as the Lord rejoiced over you to do you good, and to multiply you, so will the Lord rejoice over you to bring you to nought, and to destroy you; and ye shall be plucked from off the land whither thou goest to possess it.
Menm jan Seyè a, Bondye nou an, te pran plezi pou l' te fè nou byen, pou l' te fè nou vin anpil la, se konsa tou l'a pran plezi pou l' fè nou pèdi tout bagay, pou l' fini nèt ak nou. L'a rache nou met deyò nan peyi kote nou pral antre a, peyi nou pral pran pou nou rete a.
64 And the Lord will scatter thee among all the nations, from one end of the earth even unto the other end of the earth; and there wilt thou serve strange gods, which neither thou nor thy fathers have known, even wood and stone.
Seyè a va gaye nou nan mitan tout nasyon ki toupatou sou latè. Lè n'a rive la, n'a sèvi lòt bondye ni zansèt nou yo, ni nou menm nou pa t' janm tande pale, zidòl fèt an bwa, zidòl fèt ak wòch.
65 And among these nations shalt thou find no ease, and there shall not be any rest for the sole of thy foot: and the Lord will give thee there a trembling heart, and a failing of eyes, and a faintness of soul.
Antan n'ap viv nan mitan lòt nasyon sa yo, nou p'ap janm gen kè poze, nou p'ap janm ka rete yon sèl kote. Seyè a va fè nou viv ak kè sote, nan lapenn ak dekourajman.
66 And thy life shall hang in doubt before thee; and thou shalt be in dread day and night, and thou shalt have no confidence of thy life;
Lavi nou ap toujou an danje. Lajounen kou lannwit, n'ap nan laperèz, n'ap pè pou lanmò pa pran nou.
67 In the morning thou wilt say, Who would but grant that it were only evening! and at evening thou wilt say, Who would but grant that it were only morning! from the dread of thy heart which thou wilt experience, and from the sight of thy eyes which thou wilt see.
Devan bagay n'a wè k'ap pase devan je nou, n'a gen yon sèl laperèz nan kè nou, kè nou va bat bip-bip! Chak maten n'a mande kilè aswè va rive. Chak aswè n'a mande kilè la jou.
68 And the Lord will bring thee back to Egypt in ships, by the way whereof I have spoken unto thee, Thou shalt no more see it again: and there will ye offer yourselves for sale unto your enemies for bond-men and bond-women, without any one to buy you.
Seyè a va fè nou tounen nan peyi Lejip nan bato, atout se li menm ki te pwomèt nou pa t'ap janm tounen la ankò. N' aval vann tèt nou bay lènmi nou yo pou nou sèvi yo esklav, men pesonn p'ap vle achte nou.
