Deuteronomy 6
1 “And this [is] the command, the statutes and the judgments which your God YHWH has commanded to teach you to do in the land which you are passing over there to possess it,
Koulye a, men kòmandman, lòd ak prensip Seyè a, Bondye nou an, te mande pou yo moutre nou, pou nou te ka swiv yo nan peyi kote nou pral antre pou nou pran pou nou an.
2 so that you fear your God YHWH, to keep all His statutes and His commands which I am commanding you, you, and your son, and your son’s son, all [the] days of your life, and so that your days are prolonged.
Konsa, ni nou menm, ni pitit nou yo, ni pitit pitit nou yo, n'a gen krentif pou Seyè a, Bondye nou an, n'a kenbe tout lòd ak tout kòmandman li ban nou yo, chak jou nan lavi nou. Se konsa n'a viv lontan.
3 And you have heard, O Israel, and observed to do [them], that it may be well with you, and that you may multiply exceedingly, as YHWH, God of your fathers, has spoken to you, [in] the land flowing with milk and honey.
Koute byen sa m'ap di nou, nou menm pèp Izrayèl! Pa bliye yo. Fè tou sa mwen di nou fè. Se sa ki va fè nou viv ak kè kontan. Se sa ki va fè nou tounen yon gran nasyon nan bon peyi sa a, kote lèt ak siwo myèl ap koule tankou dlo, jan Seyè a, Bondye zansèt nou yo, te di l' la.
4 Hear, O Israel: Our God YHWH—YHWH [is] one!
Koute byen, nou menm pep Izrayèl! Seyè a, Bondye nou an, se li ki sèl mèt.
5 And you have loved your God YHWH with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your might.
Se pou nou renmen Seyè a, Bondye nou an, avèk tout kè nou, avèk tout nanm nou, avèk tout fòs kouraj nou.
6 And these words which I am commanding you today have been on your heart,
Pa janm bliye kòmandman m'ap ban nou jòdi a.
7 and you have repeated them to your sons, and spoken of them in your sitting in your house, and in your walking in the way, and in your lying down, and in your rising up,
N'a moutre yo bay pitit nou yo. N'a repete yo nan zòrèy yo, kit nou chita lakay nou, kit n'ap mache sou granchemen, kit nou kouche nan kabann nou, kit nou kanpe ap travay.
8 and have bound them for a sign on your hand, and they have been for frontlets between your eyes,
Mare yo sou ponyèt nou ak sou fwon nou pou nou sa pa janm bliye yo.
9 and you have written them on doorposts of your house and on your gates.
N'a ekri yo sou chanbrann pòt lakay nou ak sou pòtay lavil nou yo.
10 And it has been, when your God YHWH brings you into the land which He has sworn to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give to you great and good cities which you have not built,
Seyè a pral kenbe pwomès li te fè Abraram, Izarak ak Jakòb, zansèt nou yo, li pral fè nou antre nan peyi li te fè sèman l'ap ban nou an. Se yon peyi kote n'a jwenn gwo bèl lavil nou pa t' bati,
11 and houses full of all good things which you have not filled, and wells dug which you have not dug, vineyards and olive-yards which you have not planted, that you have eaten and been satisfied.
kote n'a jwenn kay plen bon bagay san se pa nou menm ki te mete yo la, avèk pi byen fon nou pa t' fouye, avèk jaden rezen ak jaden oliv nou pa t' plante. Lè sa a, lè n'a fin manje plen vant nou,
12 Take heed to yourself lest you forget YHWH who has brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of a house of servants.
fè atansyon pou nou pa bliye Seyè a, li menm ki te fè nou soti kite peyi Lejip kote nou te esklav la.
13 You fear your God YHWH, and you serve Him, and you swear by His Name.
Se pou Seyè a, Bondye nou an, ase pou nou gen krentif. Se li menm ase pou nou sèvi. Se non li sèlman pou nou pran pou fè sèman.
14 You do not go after other gods, of the gods of the peoples who [are] around you,
Pa kouri dèyè lòt bondye. Piga n' al sèvi bondye pèp k'ap viv toupre nou yo.
15 for your God YHWH [is] a zealous God in your midst—lest the anger of your God YHWH burns against you, and He has destroyed you from off the face of the ground.
Paske Seyè a, Bondye ki rete nan mitan nou an, se yon Bondye ki fè jalouzi anpil. Si nou fè sa, l'a fache sou nou, l'a disparèt nou nèt sou latè.
16 You do not try your God YHWH as you tried [Him] in Massah.
Piga nou sonde Seyè a, Bondye nou an, jan nou te fè l' bò Masa a.
17 You diligently keep the commands of your God YHWH, and His testimonies and His statutes which He has commanded you,
Se pou nou kenbe tout kòmandman Seyè a ansanm ak tout lòd ak tout prensip li ban nou pou nou swiv.
18 and you have done that which is right and good in the eyes of YHWH, so that it is well with you, and you have gone in and possessed the good land which YHWH has sworn to your fathers,
N'a fè sa ki dwat ak sa ki byen nan je Bondye pou nou ka gen kè kontan, pou nou ka pran bèl peyi Seyè a te fè sèman l'ap bay zansèt nou yo,
19 to drive away all your enemies from your presence, as YHWH has spoken.
pou nou ka chase tout lènmi nou yo devan nou, jan li te pwomèt la.
20 When your son asks you hereafter, saying, What [are] the testimonies, and the statutes, and the judgments which our God YHWH has commanded you?
Yon jou, lè pitit nou yo va mande nou poukisa Seyè a, Bondye nou an, mande nou pou nou swiv tout lòd, tout prensip ak tout kòmandman sa yo,
21 Then you have said to your son, We have been servants of Pharaoh in Egypt, and YHWH brings us out of Egypt by a high hand;
lè sa a, n'a di yo: Nou te esklav farawon an nan peyi Lejip. Seyè a te fè nou soti kite peyi Lejip la avèk fòs ponyèt li.
22 and YHWH gives signs and wonders, great and severe, on Egypt, on Pharaoh, and on all his house, before our eyes;
Nou te wè ak je nou tout mèvèy ak tout mirak li te fè pou kraze peyi Lejip, ansanm ak farawon an ak tout moun pa l' yo.
23 and He has brought us out from there, in order to bring us in, to give to us the land which He had sworn to our fathers.
Men nou menm, li fè nou soti kote nou te ye a, li mennen nou nan peyi li te pwomèt zansèt nou yo, epi li ban nou li.
24 And YHWH commands us to do all these statutes, to fear our God YHWH, for good to ourselves [for] all the days, to keep us alive, as [at] this day;
Apre sa, Seyè a, Bondye nou an, te pase nou lòd pou nou kenbe tout prensip sa yo. Konsa, n'a gen krentif pou li, n'a viv ak kè kontan, epi l'a konsève lavi nou jan li fè sa pou nou jouk koulye a.
25 and it is righteousness for us when we observe to do all this command before our God YHWH, as He has commanded us.”
Si nou vle fè Bondye plezi, se pou nou fè atansyon pou nou swiv tout kòmandman sa yo nèt, se pou nou mache devan Seyè a, Bondye nou an, jan li te mande nou an.
