Deuteronomy 12

1 These are the statutes and the ordinances which you shall observe to do in the land which the LORD, the God of your fathers, has given you to possess it, all the days that you live on the earth.

“Sa yo se lwa avèk jijman ke nou va swiv avèk atansyon nan peyi ke SENYÈ a, Bondye a zansèt nou yo, te bannou pou posede pandan tout tan ke n ap viv sou tè a.

2 You shall surely destroy all the places in which the nations that you shall dispossess served their gods, on the high mountains, and on the hills, and under every green tree:

“Nou va detwi nèt tout kote ke nasyon yo mete dye pa yo pou sèvi yo; sou mòn wo yo, sou ti mòn yo ak anba tout pyebwa yo.

3 and you shall break down their altars, and dash in pieces their pillars, and burn their Asherim with fire; and you shall cut down the engraved images of their gods; and you shall destroy their name out of that place.

Nou va chire lotèl yo, e kraze pilye sakre yo, e brile poto Asherim nan avèk dife. Nou va koupe imaj taye a dye pa yo, e nou va fè disparèt tout tras non yo nan kote sila yo.

4 You shall not do so to the LORD your God.

“Nou p ap aji konsa anvè SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an.

5 But to the place which the LORD your God shall choose out of all your tribes, to put his name there, even to his habitation you shall seek, and there you shall come;

Men nou va chache kote SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, chwazi sou tout trib nou yo, pou etabli non Li a tankou kote pou L ta rete, e la, nou va vini.

6 and there you shall bring your burnt offerings, and your sacrifices, and your tithes, and the wave offering of your hand, and your vows, and your freewill offerings, and the firstborn of your herd and of your flock:

La, nou va mennen ofrann brile nou yo, sakrifis nou yo, dim nou yo, don ki sòti nan men nou yo, ofrann ve yo, ofrann bòn volonte yo, avèk premye ne nan twoupo nou yo ak nan bann mouton nou yo.

7 and there you shall eat before the LORD your God, and you shall rejoice in all that you put your hand to, you and your households, in which the LORD your God has blessed you.

La osi, nou menm avèk lakay nou va manje devan SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an. Konsa, nou va rejwi nan tout sa nou te antreprann nan, nou avèk lakay nou yo, nan sila SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, te beni nou an.

8 You shall not do after all the things that we do here this day, every man whatever is right in his own eyes;

“Nou p ap fè menm sa ke n ap fè isit la jodi a, konsi tout moun ap fè sa ki bon nan pwòp zye li;

9 for you haven't yet come to the rest and to the inheritance, which the LORD your God gives you.

paske nou poko rive nan plas repo ak eritaj ke SENYÈ a ap bannou an.

10 But when you go over the Jordan, and dwell in the land which the LORD your God causes you to inherit, and he gives you rest from all your enemies around you, so that you dwell in safety;

“Lè nou travèse Jourdain an pou viv nan peyi ke SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, ap bannou kòm eritaj la; epi Li bannou repo sou tout lènmi ki antoure nou yo pou nou viv ansekirite,

11 then it shall happen that to the place which the LORD your God shall choose, to cause his name to dwell there, there you shall bring all that I command you: your burnt offerings, and your sacrifices, your tithes, and the wave offering of your hand, and all your choice vows which you vow to your God.

alò, li va rive ke kote ke SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, va chwazi pou non Li vin rete a, se la, nou va mennen tout sa ke Mwen kòmande nou yo: ofrann brile nou yo avèk sakrifis nou yo, dim nou yo avèk don ki sòti nan men nou yo, ak tout ofrann ve ki pi bèl ke nou va fè kòm ve bay SENYÈ a.

12 You shall rejoice before the LORD your God, you, and your sons, and your daughters, and your male servants, and your female servants, and the Levite who is within your gates, because he has no portion nor inheritance with you.

“Epi nou va rejwi devan SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, nou menm avèk fis ak fi nou yo, sèvitè ak sèvant nou yo ak Levit ki anndan pòtay nou yo, akoz ke li pa gen pati ni eritaj pami nou.

13 Be careful that you do not offer your burnt offerings in every place that you see;

Fè atansyon pou nou pa ofri ofrann brile tout kote ke nou wè,

14 but in the place which the LORD shall choose in one of your tribes, there you shall offer your burnt offerings, and there you shall do all that I command you.

men kote ke SENYÈ a chwazi nan youn nan tribi nou yo. La, nou va ofri ofrann brile yo, e la, nou va fè tout sa ke mwen kòmande nou yo.

15 Notwithstanding, you may kill and eat flesh within all your gates, after all the desire of your soul, according to the blessing of the LORD your God which he has given you: the unclean and the clean may eat of it, as of the gazelle, and as of the deer.

“Malgre sa, nou gen dwa touye e manje vyann anndan nenpòt nan pòtay nou yo, nenpòt sa ke nou dezire, selon benediksyon SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, sa ke Li te bannou. Sila ki pa pwòp, ak sila ki pwòp kapab manje ladann, tankou antilop la ak sèf la.

16 Only you shall not eat the blood; you shall pour it out on the earth as water.

Sepandan, nou pa pou bwè san an; nou dwe vide li atè tankou dlo.

17 You may not eat within your gates the tithe of your grain, or of your new wine, or of your oil, or the firstborn of your herd or of your flock, nor any of your vows which you vow, nor your freewill offerings, nor the wave offering of your hand;

“Nou pa gen dwa manje anndan pòtay nou yo ofrann dim ki sòti nan sereyal yo, ni premye ne nan twoupo ak nan bann mouton nou yo, ni okenn nan ofrann ve yo, ni ofrann bòn volonte nou yo, ni don ki sòti nan men nou yo.

18 but you shall eat them before the LORD your God in the place which the LORD your God shall choose, you, and your son, and your daughter, and your male servant, and your female servant, and the Levite who is within your gates: and you shall rejoice before the LORD your God in all that you put your hand to.

Men nou va manje yo devan SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, kote ke SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an va chwazi a, nou menm avèk fis nou ak fi nou yo, sèvitè ak sèvant lan ak Levit ki anndan pòtay nou yo. Konsa, nou va rejwi devan SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, nan tout sa ke nou antreprann.

19 Be careful that you do not forsake the Levite as long as you live in your land.

Fè atansyon pou nou pa abandone Levit la pandan tout tan ke nou rete nan Peyi a.

20 When the LORD your God shall enlarge your border, as he has promised you, and you shall say, "I want to eat meat," because your soul desires to eat meat; you may eat meat, after all the desire of your soul.

“Lè SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, vin fè lizyè nou grandi, jan Li te pwomèt nou an, e nou va di: ‘Mwen va manje vyann,’ akoz ke nou vle manje vyann, nou kapab manje vyann, nenpòt sa ke nou pito.

21 If the place which the LORD your God shall choose to put his name there is too far from you, then you shall kill of your herd and of your flock, which God has given you, as I have commanded you; and you may eat within your gates, after all the desire of your soul.

Si kote ke SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, chwazi pou mete non Li an, twò lwen nou, alò, nou kapab touye nan twoupo nou ak bann mouton nou ke SENYÈ a te bannou yo, jan mwen te kòmande nou an. Konsa, nou kapab manje anndan pòtay nou yo nenpòt sa nou pito.

22 Even as the gazelle and as the deer is eaten, so you shall eat of it: the unclean and the clean may eat of it alike.

Menm jan ke yon antilòp oswa yon sèf kon sèvi pou manje; konsa, nou va manje li. Moun ki pwòp ni sila ki pa pwòp kapab manje ladann.

23 Only be sure that you do not eat the blood: for the blood is the life; and you shall not eat the life with the flesh.

“Sèlman, fè sèten ke nou pa bwè san an, paske san an se lavi, e nou p ap bwè lavi avèk chè a.

24 You shall not eat it; you shall pour it out on the earth as water.

Nou p ap bwè li. Nou va vide li atè tankou dlo.

25 You shall not eat it; that it may go well with you, and with your children after you, when you shall do that which is right in the eyes of the LORD.

Nou p ap bwè li jis pou sa kab ale byen pou nou avèk pitit apre nou yo; paske nou ap fè sa ki bon nan zye SENYÈ a.

26 Only your holy things which you have, and your vows, you shall take, and go to the place which the LORD shall choose,

“Se sèlman bagay ki sen ke nou kapab genyen, ak ofrann ve nou yo, nou va pran pou ale kote ke SENYÈ a chwazi a.

27 and you shall offer your burnt offerings, the flesh and the blood, on the altar of the LORD your God; and the blood of your sacrifices shall be poured out on the altar of the LORD your God; and you shall eat the flesh.

Konsa, nou va ofri ofrann brile yo, chè a avèk san an sou lotèl la bay SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an. San sakrifis nou yo va vide sou lotèl la bay SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, epi nou va manje chè a.

28 Observe and hear and do all these words which I command you, that it may go well with you, and with your children after you forever, when you do that which is good and right in the eyes of the LORD your God.

“Fè atansyon pou koute tout pawòl sila yo ke mwen kòmande nou, jis pou sa kapab ale byen pou nou ak fis apre nou yo pou tout tan, akoz nou fè sa ki bon e jis nan zye a SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an.

29 When the LORD your God shall cut off the nations from before you, where you go in to dispossess them, and you dispossess them, and dwell in their land;

“Lè SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, koupe retire devan nou nasyon ke n ap antre deplase yo, epi nou deplase yo e rete nan peyi pa yo,

30 take heed to yourself that you not be ensnared to follow them, after that they are destroyed from before you; and that you not inquire after their gods, saying, "How do these nations serve their gods? I will do likewise."

veye ke nou pa antre nan pèlen e swiv yo lè yo fin detwi devan nou; epi ke nou pa chache a dye pa yo, e mande: ‘Kijan nasyon sa yo sèvi dye pa yo? Konsa, mwen va fè menm jan an?’

31 You shall not do so to the LORD your God: for every abomination to the LORD, which he hates, have they done to their gods; for even their sons and their daughters do they burn in the fire to their gods.

Nou p ap aji konsa anvè SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, paske se tout zèv abominab ke SENYÈ a rayi yo, ke yo kon fè pou dye pa yo. Paske yo konn menm brile pwòp fis ak fi pa yo nan dife dye pa yo.

32 Whatever thing I command you, that you shall observe to do: you shall not add thereto, nor diminish from it.

“Nenpòt sa ke m kòmande nou, se sa a pou nou fè. Nou p ap ni mete sou li, ni retire ladan l.
