< Deuteronomy 26 >
1 It shall be, when you have come in to the land which the LORD your God gives you for an inheritance, and possess it, and dwell in it,
Lè n'a rive nan peyi Seyè a, Bondye nou an, ban nou pou rele nou pa nou an, lè n'a fin pran tout peyi a pou nou pou nou rete ladan l',
2 that you shall take of the first of all the fruit of the ground, which you shall bring in from your land that the LORD your God gives you; and you shall put it in a basket, and shall go to the place which the LORD your God shall choose, to cause his name to dwell there.
chak moun va pran premye donn tout pyebwa nan jaden li fè sou tè Seyè a, Bondye li a, va ba li, l'a mete yo nan yon panyen, epi l'a pote l' kote Seyè a te chwazi pou l' rete nan mitan nou an.
3 You shall come to the cohen who shall be in those days, and tell him, "I profess this day to the LORD my God, that I have come into the land which the LORD swore to our fathers to give us."
Li aval jwenn prèt ki desèvis lè sa a, epi l'a di l': -Mwen deklare jòdi a, devan Seyè a, Bondye mwen an, mwen rekonèt mwen antre nan peyi li te pwomèt li t'ap bay zansèt nou yo.
4 The cohen shall take the basket out of your hand, and set it down before the altar of the LORD your God.
Prèt la va pran panyen an nan men li, l'a depoze l' devan lòtèl Seyè a, Bondye nou an.
5 You shall answer and say before the LORD your God, "A wandering Aramean was my father, and he went down into Egypt, and lived there, few in number, and there he became a nation, great, mighty, and numerous.
Lè sa a, moun k'ap fè ofrann lan va pran lapawòl devan Seyè a, Bondye nou an, l'a fè deklarasyon sa a: -Zansèt mwen te yon moun peyi Aram ki t'ap pwonmennen mache toupatou. Yon jou, li desann nan peyi Lejip ak moun pa l' yo ki pa t' anpil. Yo pase kèk tan nan peyi a, yo tounen yon gwo nasyon ki te fò ak anpil anpil moun ladan l'.
6 The Egyptians mistreated us, and afflicted us, and laid on us hard bondage:
Moun peyi Lejip yo tonbe maltrete nou, yo malmennen nou, yo fòse nou travay di tankou esklav.
7 and we cried to the LORD, the God of our fathers, and the LORD heard our voice, and saw our affliction, and our toil, and our oppression;
Lè sa a, nou rele Seyè a, Bondye zansèt nou yo, pou l' vin ede nou. Li tande lapriyè nou. Li wè nan ki mizè nou te ye, li wè tout lapenn ki te nan kè nou, li wè jan yo t'ap peze nou.
8 and the LORD brought us forth out of Egypt with a mighty hand, and with an outstretched arm, and with great terror, and with signs, and with wonders;
Seyè a fè nou soti kite peyi Lejip la ak gwo fòs ponyèt li, li te fè anpil mirak ak anpil mèvèy, bagay ki te fè moun pè anpil.
9 and he has brought us into this place, and has given us this land, a land flowing with milk and honey.
Apre sa, li mennen nou isit la, li ban nou bèl tè sa a, kote lèt ak siwo myèl ap koule tankou dlo.
10 Now, look, I have brought the first of the fruit of the ground, which you, LORD, have given me." You shall set it down before the LORD your God, and worship before the LORD your God.
Se sa ki fè koulye a, Seyè, mwen pote ba ou pi bèl fwi nan premye rekòt ou ban mwen nan peyi a. Apre sa, nonm lan va depoze panyen an devan Seyè a, Bondye nou an, l'a mete ajenou devan l'.
11 And you shall rejoice in all the good which the LORD your God has given to you and to your house, you, and the Levite, and the foreigner who is among you.
Lèfini, li menm ak tout moun lakay li, l'a fè fèt pou tout bon bagay sa yo Seyè a te ba li. L'a fè moun Levi yo ansanm ak moun lòt nasyon k'ap viv nan mitan nou yo fete ansanm ak li tou.
12 When you have made an end of tithing all the tithe of your increase in the third year, which is the year of tithing, then you shall give it to the Levite, to the foreigner, to the fatherless, and to the widow, that they may eat within your gates, and be filled.
Chak twazan n'a bay ladim, ki vle di yon dizyèm tout bagay nou rekòlte. N'a ranmase sa n'ap bay la, n'a mache nan tout lavil nou yo, n'a bay prèt yo, moun lòt nasyon yo, timoun san papa yo ak vèv yo, pou yo tout ka manje plen vant yo.
13 You shall say before the LORD your God, "I have put away the holy things out of my house, and also have given them to the Levite, and to the foreigner, to the fatherless, and to the widow, according to all your commandment which you have commanded me: I have not transgressed any of your commandments, neither have I forgotten them:
Lèfini, n'a parèt devan lòtèl Seyè a, Bondye nou an, n'a di l': -Mwen pa kite lakay mwen anyen nan sa mwen fèt pou mete apa pou ou. Mwen mache bay prèt yo, moun lòt nasyon yo, timoun san papa ak vèv yo, dapre lòd ou te ban mwen. Mwen fè tou sa ou te mande m' fè sou keksyon sa a. Mwen pa bliye anyen nan tou sa ou di m'.
14 I have not eaten of it in my mourning, neither have I put away of it, being unclean, nor given of it for the dead: I have listened to the voice of the LORD my God; I have done according to all that you have commanded me.
Mwen pa t' manje ladan yo lè mwen te nan lapenn, ni lè mwen pa t' nan kondisyon pou fè sèvis pou ou. Ni mwen pa t' wete anyen ladan l' pou m' fè ofrann bay mò. Seyè, Bondye mwen, mwen te obeyi ou, mwen te fè tou sa ou te ban m' lòd fè sou keksyon sa a.
15 Look down from your holy habitation, from heaven, and bless your people Israel, and the ground which you have given us, as you swore to our fathers, a land flowing with milk and honey."
Rete nan syèl la, nan kay ki apa nèt pou ou a, voye je ou gade pèp ou a. Beni pèp Izrayèl la ansanm ak tè ou te ban nou an dapre pwomès ou te fè zansèt nou yo. Beni peyi kote lèt ak siwo myèl ap koule tankou dlo a.
16 This day the LORD your God commands you to do these statutes and ordinances: you shall therefore keep and do them with all your heart, and with all your soul.
Seyè a, Bondye nou an, pase nou lòd jòdi a pou nou swiv tout lwa ak tout regleman sa yo. N'a kenbe yo, n'a fè sa yo mande nou la a ak tout kè nou ak tout nanm nou.
17 You have declared the LORD this day to be your God, and that you would walk in his ways, and keep his statutes, and his commandments, and his ordinances, and listen to his voice:
Jòdi a nou fè deklarasyon nou bay Seyè a: Nou di se li ki Bondye nou. Nou pwomèt pou nou toujou mache jan li vle l' la, pou nou fè tou sa ki nan lwa, nan lòd ak nan regleman li yo pou nou toujou koute sa l' di nou.
18 and the LORD has declared you this day to be a people for his own possession, as he has promised you, and that you should keep all his commandments;
Jòdi a tou, Seyè a te asepte nou pou pèp li renmen anpil la, jan l' te fè nou pwomès la. Epi li pase nou lòd pou nou fè tou sa l'a mande nou fè.
19 and to make you high above all nations that he has made, for fame, and for praise, and for honor; and that you may be a holy people to the LORD your God, as he has spoken.
L'ap fè nou tounen nasyon ki pi gran pase tout lòt nasyon li te fè yo. N'a gen pouvwa pase yo, n'a gen repitasyon pase yo, y'a respekte nou pase yo. Wi, n'a yon pèp k'ap viv apa nèt pou Seyè a, Bondye nou an, jan l' te di l' la.
