Deuteronomy 11
1 Therefore you shall love the LORD your God, and keep his instructions, and his statutes, and his ordinances, and his commandments, always.
“Pou sa, nou va renmen SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, e nou va toujou kenbe lòd Li, lwa Li yo, ak règleman Li yo, avèk kòmandman Li yo.
2 Know this day: for I do not speak with your children who have not known, and who have not seen the chastisement of the LORD your God, his greatness, his mighty hand, and his outstretched arm,
Byen konnen nan jou sa a, ke Mwen p ap pale avèk fis nou yo ki potko konnen e ki potko wè chatiman SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, —grandè Li, men pwisans Li ak bra lonje Li a,
3 and his signs, and his works, which he did in the midst of Egypt to Pharaoh the king of Egypt, and to all his land;
epi sign Li yo avèk zèv Li yo ke Li te fè nan mitan Égypte a Farawon an, wa Égypte la, e a tout peyi li a;
4 and what he did to the army of Egypt, to their horses, and to their chariots; how he made the water of the Red Sea to overflow them as they pursued after you, and how the LORD has destroyed them to this day;
ak sa Li te fè a lame Égypte la, a cheval li yo avèk cha li yo, lè Li te fè dlo Lamè Wouj la kouvri yo pandan yo t ap kouri dèyè nou, e SENYÈ a te detwi yo nèt, jiska jou sa a;
5 and what he did to you in the wilderness, until you came to this place;
epi sa Li te fè a nou menm nan dezè a jiskaske nou te rive nan kote sa a;
6 and what he did to Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, the son of Reuben; how the earth opened its mouth, and swallowed them up, and their households, and their tents, and every living thing that followed them, in the midst of all Israel:
epi sa Li te fè aDathan avèk Abiram, fis a Éliab yo, fis a Ruben, lè tè a te ouvri bouch li, pou te vale yo, tout moun lakay yo, tant yo, ak tout bagay vivan nan tout Israël ki te swiv yo——
7 but your eyes have seen all the great work of the LORD which he did.
konsa, se pwòp zye pa nou ki te wè tout gran zèv ke SENYÈ a te fè yo.
8 Therefore you shall keep every commandment which I command you this day, that you may be strong, and multiply, and go in and possess the land, where you go over to possess it;
“Pou sa, nou va kenbe tout kòmandman ke mwen ap kòmande nou jodi a, pou nou kapab gen fòs pou antre e posede peyi a nan sila nou prèt pou travèse pran an;
9 and that you may prolong your days in the land, which the LORD swore to your fathers to give to them and to their descendants, a land flowing with milk and honey.
jis pou jou nou yo kapab vin pi plis nan peyi ke SENYÈ a te sèmante a zansèt nou yo pou ba yo ak desandan pa yo, yon peyi ki koule avèk lèt ak siwo myèl.
10 For the land, where you go in to possess it, isn't as the land of Egypt, that you came out from, where you sowed your seed, and watered it with your feet, as a garden of herbs;
Paske peyi kote nou ap antre pou posede a, se pa tankou peyi Égypte la, kote nou sòti a, kote nou te konn plante semans nou e wouze li avèk pye nou tankou yon jaden legim.
11 but the land, where you go over to possess it, is a land of hills and valleys which drinks water of the rain of the sky,
Men peyi kote nou prèt pou travèse pran an, yon peyi avèk ti mòn ak vale, k ap bwè dlo ki sòti nan lapli syèl la,
12 a land which the LORD your God cares for: the eyes of the LORD your God are always on it, from the beginning of the year even to the end of the year.
yon peyi ke SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, renmen anpil. Zye a SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, toujou sou li, soti nan kòmansman jis rive nan fen ane a.
13 It shall happen, if you shall listen diligently to my commandments which I command you this day, to love the LORD your God, and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul,
“Li va vin rive ke si nou koute avèk obeyisans a kòmandman mwen yo, ke mwen ap kòmande nou jodi a, pou nou renmen SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, e sèvi Li avèk tout kè nou e avèk tout nanm nou,
14 that I will give the rain of your land in its season, the former rain and the latter rain, that you may gather in your grain, and your new wine, and your oil.
ke Mwen va bay lapli pou peyi nou nan sezon li, lapli premye sezon ak lapli dènye sezon, pou nou kapab fè antre sereyal avèk diven nèf, avèk lwil.
15 I will give grass in your fields for your livestock, and you shall eat and be full.
Mwen va bannou zèb nan chan nou yo pou bèt nou yo, e nou va manje e va satisfè.
16 Be careful, lest your heart be deceived, and you turn aside, and serve other gods, and worship them;
“Veye nou pou kè nou pa vin sedwi; pou nou pa vire akote pou sèvi lòt dye yo e adore yo.
17 and the anger of the LORD be kindled against you, and he shut up the sky, so that there shall be no rain, and the land shall not yield its fruit; and you perish quickly from off the good land which the LORD gives you.
Sinon, lakòlè SENYÈ a va limen kont nou, epi Li va fèmen syèl yo pou pa gen lapli, e tè a p ap donnen fwi li. Konsa, nou va peri vit soti nan bon peyi ke SENYÈ a ap bannou an.
18 Therefore you shall lay up these my words in your heart and in your soul; and you shall bind them for a sign on your hand, and they shall be for symbols between your eyes.
Pou sa, nou va tache pawòl sa yo sou kè nou ak sou nanm nou. Nou va mare yo tankou yon sign sou men nou e yo va tankou très cheve nan fwon nou.
19 You shall teach them your children, talking 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.
Nou va enstwi yo a fis nou yo nan pale sou yo lè nou chita lakay nou, lè nou mache akote wout la, e lè nou kouche ak lè nou leve.
20 You shall write them on the door posts of your house, and on your gates;
Nou va ekri yo nan poto chanbrann lakay nou ak sou pòtay nou yo,
21 that your days may be multiplied, and the days of your children, in the land which the LORD swore to your fathers to give them, as the days of the heavens above the earth.
jis pou jou nou yo avèk jou a fis nou yo kapab vin miltipliye nan peyi kote SENYÈ a te sèmante a zansèt nou yo pou bay yo, toutotan syèl yo ap rete sou tè a.
22 For if you shall diligently keep all this commandment which I command you to do, to love the LORD your God, to walk in all his ways, and to cling to him;
“Paske si nou fè atansyon pou kenbe tout kòmandman sa yo ke mwen ap kòmande nou pou fè yo, pou renmen SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, pou mache nan tout chemen Li yo e kenbe fèm a Li,
23 then will the LORD drive out all these nations from before you, and you shall dispossess nations greater and mightier than yourselves.
alò, SENYÈ a va chase tout nasyon yo soti devan nou; epi nou va deplase nasyon ki pi gran e ki pi pwisan ke nou yo.
24 Every place whereon the sole of your foot shall tread shall be yours: from the wilderness, and Lebanon, from the river, the river Perath, even to the western sea shall be your border.
Nenpòt kote ke pye nou pile va vin pou nou; lizyè nou va soti nan dezè a pou jis rive Liban, soti nan rivyè a, Rivyè Lefrat la, pou jis rive nan lanmè lwès la.
25 No man shall be able to stand before you: the LORD your God shall lay the fear of you and the dread of you on all the land that you shall tread on, as he has spoken to you.
P ap gen pèsòn ki kapab kanpe devan nou. SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, va mete gwo panik de nou ak laperèz nou sou tout peyi kote nou foule pye nou yo, jan Li te deja pale nou an.
26 Look, I set before you this day a blessing and a curse:
“Gade, mwen ap mete devan nou jodi a yon benediksyon avèk yon malediksyon;
27 the blessing, if you shall listen to the commandments of the LORD your God, which I command you this day;
Benediksyon an si nou koute kòmandman a SENYÈ yo, Bondye nou an ke mwen kòmande nou jodi a;
28 and the curse, if you shall not listen to the commandments of the LORD your God, but turn aside out of the way which I command you this day, to go after other gods, which you have not known.
epi malediksyon an si nou pa koute kòmandman a SENYÈ yo, Bondye nou an, men vire akote chemen ke mwen ap kòmande nou jodi a, pou swiv lòt dye ke nou pa t konnen yo.
29 It shall happen, when the LORD your God shall bring you into the land where you go to possess it, that you shall set the blessing on Mount Gerizim, and the curse on Mount Ebal.
“Li va rive, ke lè SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, mennen nou nan peyi kote n ap antre posede a, ke nou va plase benediksyon an nan mòn Garizim nan e malediksyon an nan mòn Ebal la.
30 Aren't they beyond the Jordan, behind the way of the going down of the sun, in the land of the Canaanites who dwell in the Arabah, over against Gilgal, beside the oaks of Moreh?
Èske yo pa anfas Jourdain an, vè lwès, vè solèy kouche a, nan peyi Kanaaneyen ki rete Araba yo, anfas Guilgal, akote chenn Moré yo.
31 For you are to pass over the Jordan to go in to possess the land which the LORD your God gives you, and you shall possess it, and dwell in it.
Paske nou prèt pou travèse Jourdain an pou antre posede peyi ke SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, ap bannou an, e nou va posede li pou viv ladann.
32 You shall observe to do all the statutes and the ordinances which I set before you this day.
Nou va fè atansyon pou fè tout sa lalwa avèk jijman ke mwen ap mete devan nou jodi a.
