Deuteronomy 6
1 Now this is the commandment, the statutes, and the ordinances, which Jehovah your God commanded to teach you, that you might do them in the land where you go over 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 that you might fear Jehovah your God, to keep all his statutes and his commandments, which I command you, you, and your son, and your son's son, all the days of your life; and that your days may be 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 Hear therefore, Israel, and observe to do it; that it may be well with you, and that you may increase mightily, as Jehovah, the God of your fathers, has promised to you, in a 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, Israel: Jehovah is our God, Jehovah is one.
Koute byen, nou menm pep Izrayèl! Seyè a, Bondye nou an, se li ki sèl mèt.
5 And you shall love Jehovah your God 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 These words, which I command you this day, shall be on your heart;
Pa janm bliye kòmandman m'ap ban nou jòdi a.
7 and you shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise 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 You shall bind them for a sign on your hand, and they shall be for symbols between your eyes.
Mare yo sou ponyèt nou ak sou fwon nou pou nou sa pa janm bliye yo.
9 You shall write them on the door posts of your house, and on your gates.
N'a ekri yo sou chanbrann pòt lakay nou ak sou pòtay lavil nou yo.
10 It shall be, when Jehovah your God shall bring you into the land which he swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give you, great and goodly cities, which you did not build,
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 did not fill, and cisterns dug out, which you did not dig, vineyards and olive trees, which you did not plant, and you shall eat and be full;
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 then beware lest you forget Jehovah, who brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
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 shall fear Jehovah your God; and you shall serve him only, and you shall cling to him, and take oaths 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 shall 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 Jehovah your God in the midst of you is a jealous God; lest the anger of Jehovah your God be kindled against you, and he destroy you from off the face of the earth.
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 Do not test Jehovah your God, as you tested him at Massah.
Piga nou sonde Seyè a, Bondye nou an, jan nou te fè l' bò Masa a.
17 You shall diligently keep the commandments of Jehovah your God, 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 You shall do that which is right and good in the sight of Jehovah; that it may be well with you, and that you may go in and possess the good land which Jehovah swore 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 thrust out all your enemies from before you, as Jehovah has spoken.
pou nou ka chase tout lènmi nou yo devan nou, jan li te pwomèt la.
20 When your son asks you in time to come, saying, "What do the testimonies, the statutes, and the ordinances, which Jehovah our God has commanded you mean?"
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 shall tell your son, "We were Pharaoh's bondservants in Egypt: and Jehovah brought us out of Egypt with a mighty 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 Jehovah showed great and awesome signs and wonders 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 brought us out from there, that he might bring us in, to give us the land which he swore 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 Jehovah commanded us to do all these statutes, to fear Jehovah our God, for our good always, that he might preserve 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 It shall be righteousness to us, if we observe to do all this commandment before Jehovah our God, 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.
