Deuteronomy 1
1 These be the words which Moses spake unto all Israel beyond Jordan in the wilderness, in the Arabah over against Suph, between Paran, and Tophel, and Laban, and Hazeroth, and Di-zahab.
Sa yo se pawòl a Moïse ke li te pale a tout pèp Israël la lòtbò Jourdain an, nan dezè a, nan Arabah, anfas Suph, antre Paran, Tophel, Laban, Hatséroth, ak Di-Zahab.
2 It is eleven days’ [journey] from Horeb by the way of mount Seir unto Kadesh-barnea.
Se te yon vwayaj onz jou soti nan Horeb pa chemen a Mòn Séir pou rive nan Kadès-Barnéa.
3 And it came to pass in the fortieth year, in the eleventh month, on the first day of the month, that Moses spake unto the children of Israel, according unto all that the LORD had given him in commandment unto them;
Nan katriyèm ane a, nan premye jou nan onzyèm mwa a, Moïse te pale avèk fis Israël yo selon tout sa ke SENYÈ a te kòmande li anvè yo,
4 after he had smitten Sihon the king of the Amorites, which dwelt in Heshbon, and Og the king of Bashan, which dwelt in Ashtaroth, at Edrei:
lè li te fin bat Sihon, wa Amoreyen ki te rete Hesbon an, ak Og, wa Basan an, ki te rete Aschtaroth avèk Édréï.
5 beyond Jordan, in the land of Moab, began Moses to declare this law, saying,
Anfas Jourdain an, nan peyi Moab la, Moïse te kòmanse fè eksplikasyon sou lwa sa a. Li te di:
6 The LORD our God spake unto us in Horeb, saying, Ye have dwelt long enough in this mountain:
“SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, te pale avèk nou isit la nan Horeb, e Li te di: ‘Nou gen tan rete la a nan mòn sa pou ase de tan.
7 turn you, and take your journey, and go to the hill country of the Amorites, and unto all [the places] nigh thereunto, in the Arabah, in the hill country, and in the lowland, and in the South, and by the sea shore, the land of the Canaanites, and Lebanon, as far as the great river, the river Euphrates.
Vire kòmanse vwayaj nou an pou ale nan peyi mòn ki pou Amoreyen yo e vè tout kote nan Arabah yo nan peyi mòn yo, nan teren ba yo, nan Negev la, nan lanmè a, peyi a Canaran yo ak nan Liban jis rive nan gran rivyè Lefrat la.
8 Behold, I have set the land before you: go in and possess the land which the LORD sware unto your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give unto them and to their seed after them.
Nou wè, Mwen te mete tout peyi a devan nou. Ale ladann pou posede peyi ke SENYÈ a te sèmante pou bay a zansèt nou yo—a Abraham, Isaac, e a Jacob—a yo menm ak desandan ki apre yo.’”
9 And I spake unto you at that time, saying, I am not able to bear you myself alone:
“Mwen te pale avèk nounan tan sa a pou te di nou, ‘Mwen sèl p ap kapab pote fado nou pou kont mwen.
10 The LORD your God hath multiplied you, and, behold, ye are this day as the stars of heaven for multitude.
SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, te fè nou vin anpil, e gade byen, jodi a nou vin anpil tankou zetwal nan syèl la.
11 The LORD, the God of your fathers, make you a thousand times so many more as ye are, and bless you, as he hath promised you!
Ke SENYÈ a, Bondye a zansèt nou yo, kapab fè nou vin miltipliye yon mil fwa anplis ke nou ye a, e beni nou jis jan ke li te pwomèt nou an.
12 How can I myself alone bear your cumbrance, and your burden, and your strife?
Kijan mwen sèl mwen, ta kapab sipòte fado a nou menm avèk tout zen nou konn fè yo?
13 Take you wise men, and understanding, and known, according to your tribes, and I will make them heads over you.
Chwazi moun ki saj, ki gen disènman avèk eksperyans nan pwòp tribi nou yo e mwen vaapwente yo kòm chèf nou.’
14 And ye answered me, and said, The thing which thou hast spoken is good [for us] to do.
“Nou te reponn mwen e te di: ‘Bagay ke ou di a, bon.’
15 So I took the heads of your tribes, wise men, and known, and made them heads over you, captains of thousands, and captains of hundreds, and captains of fifties, and captains of tens, and officers, according to your tribes.
“Konsa, mwen te pran chèf an tèt tribi nou yo, moun saj avèk eksperyans, e mwen te apwente yo kòm chèf sou nou, dirijan a dè milye, a dè santèn, a dè senkantèn, a dè dizèn ak ofisye pou tribi nou yo.
16 And I charged your judges at that time, saying, Hear [the causes] between your brethren, and judge righteously between a man and his brother, and the stranger that is with him.
Mwen te pase lòd ak jij nou yo nan tan sa a. Mwen te di, ‘Tande ka ki parèt antre nou menm avèk moun peyi parèy nou yo, e jije avèk ladwati antre yon nonm avèk moun peyi parèy a li, oswa etranje ki pami nou an.
17 Ye shall not respect persons in judgment; ye shall hear the small and the great alike; ye shall not be afraid of the face of man; for the judgment is God’s: and the cause that is too hard for you ye shall bring unto me, and I will hear it.
Nou pa pou gen moun pa nan jijman an; nou va tande moun gwo pwa avèk moun ki manke pwa egal menm jan. Nou pa pou pè moun, paske jijman an se pou Bondye. Ka ki twò difisil pou nou an, nou va pote li ban mwen, e mwen va tande l.’
18 And I commanded you at that time all the things which ye should do.
Mwen te kòmande nou nan tan sa a, tout bagay ke nou te gen pou fè.
19 And we journeyed from Horeb, and went through all that great and terrible wilderness which ye saw, by the way to the hill country of the Amorites, as the LORD our God commanded us; and we came to Kadesh-barnea.
“Konsa, nou te pati Horeb pou te pase nan tout gran dezè tèrib sila a ke nou te wè nan wout la pou rive nan peyi mòn a Amoreyen yo, jis jan ke SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, te kòmande nou an; epi nou te vini Kadès Barnéa.
20 And I said unto you, Ye are come unto the hill country of the Amorites, which the LORD our God giveth unto us.
Mwen te di nou: ‘Nou gen tan vini nan peyi mòn a Amoreyen yo ke SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, prèt pou bannou an.
21 Behold, the LORD thy God hath set the land before thee: go up, take possession, as the LORD, the God of thy fathers, hath spoken unto thee; fear not, neither be dismayed.
Nou wè, SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, te mete peyi a devan nou. Monte ladann, posede li, jan SENYÈ a, Bondye a zansèt nou yo, te pale nou an. Pa pè, ni dekouraje.’”
22 And ye came near unto me every one of you, and said, Let us send men before us, that they may search the land for us, and bring us word again of the way by which we must go up, and the cities unto which we shall come.
“Konsa, nou tout te vin kote m e te di: ‘Annou voye moun devan nou pou yo kapab fè ankèt peyi a pou nou, pou retounen bannou yon pawòl konsènan chemen nou ta dwe monte a ak vil ke nou va antre yo.’
23 And the thing pleased me well: and I took twelve men of you, one man for every tribe:
“Sa te fè m plezi. Mwen te pran douz mesye pami nou, yon mesye pou chak tribi.
24 and they turned and went up into the mountain, and came unto the valley of Eshcol, and spied it out.
Yo te vire pou te monte nan peyi mòn nan, e yo te rive nan vale Eschcol la pou espyone ladann.
25 And they took of the fruit of the land in their hands, and brought it down unto us, and brought us word again, and said, It is a good land which the LORD our God giveth unto us.
Epi yo te pran kèk nan fwi peyi a nan men yo pou te pote li bannou. Yo te mennen bannou yon rapò. Yo te di: ‘Se yon bon peyi ke SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, prèt pou bannou an.’”
26 Yet ye would not go up, but rebelled against the commandment of the LORD your God:
“Men nou pa t vle monte. Nou te fè rebèl kont kòmand a SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an.
27 and ye murmured in your tents, and said, Because the LORD hated us, he hath brought us forth out of the land of Egypt, to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites, to destroy us.
Nou te plenyen nan tant nou yo e te di: ‘Akoz SENYÈ a rayi nou, Li te mennen nou sòti nan peyi Égypte la pou livre nou nan men Amoreyen yo pou detwi nou.
28 Whither are we going up? our brethren have made our heart to melt, saying, The people is greater and taller than we; the cities are great and fenced up to heaven; and moreover we have seen the sons of the Anakim there.
Kibò nou kab monte?’ Frè nou yo te fè kè nou fann. Yo te di: ‘Pèp la pi gran e piwo pase nou! Vil yo gran e fòtifye jis rive nan syèl la!’ Anplis, nou te wè fis a Anak yo la!”
29 Then I said unto you, Dread not, neither be afraid of them.
“Konsa, mwen te di nou: ‘Pa etone, ni pa pè yo.
30 The LORD your God who goeth before you, he shall fight for you, according to all that he did for you in Egypt before your eyes;
SENYÈ a, li menm, ki ale devan nou an, va, Li menm, goumen pou nou, jis jan ke Li te fè pou nou an Égypte la devan zye nou,
31 and in the wilderness, where thou hast seen how that the LORD thy God bare thee, as a man doth bear his son, in all the way that ye went, until ye came unto this place.
epi nan dezè a kote nou te wè kijan SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, te pote nou, jis jan ke yon nonm ta pote fis li, nan tout chemen kote nou te mache jis nou vin rive kote sa a.’”
32 Yet in this thing ye did not believe the LORD your God,
“Men malgre tout sa, nou pa t mete konfyans nan SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an,
33 who went before you in the way, to seek you out a place to pitch your tents in, in fire by night, to shew you by what way ye should go, and in the cloud by day.
ki te ale devan nou nan chemen an pou chèche yon kote pou nou fè kan, kòm dife nan aswè ak nwaj nan lajounen pou montre nou nan ki chemen nou dwe ale.
34 And the LORD heard the voice of your words, and was wroth, and sware, saying,
“Epi SENYÈ a te tande son pawòl nou yo. Li te fache. Li te sèmante e te di:
35 Surely there shall not one of these men of this evil generation see the good land, which I sware to give unto your fathers,
‘Nanpwen youn nan mesye sa yo, jenerasyon mechan sila a, ki va wè bon peyi ke mwen te sèmante pou bay a zansèt nou yo.
36 save Caleb the son of Jephunneh, he shall see it; and to him will I give the land that he hath trodden upon, and to his children: because he hath wholly followed the LORD.
Sof ke Caleb, fis a Jephunné a. Li va wè li. A li menm avèk fis li yo Mwen va bay peyi kote li te mete pye li akoz li te swiv SENYÈ a nèt.’
37 Also the LORD was angry with me for your sakes, saying, Thou also shalt not go in thither:
“Anplis, SENYÈ a te fache avèk mwen osi akoz nou menm. Li te di: ‘Ni ou menm tou, ou p ap antre la.
38 Joshua the son of Nun, which standeth before thee, he shall go in thither: encourage thou him; for he shall cause Israel to inherit it.
Josué, fis a Nun nan, ki kanpe la devan nou an, li va antre la. Ankouraje li, paske li va fè Israël jwenn eritaj li a.
39 Moreover your little ones, which ye said should be a prey, and your children, which this day have no knowledge of good or evil, they shall go in thither, and unto them will I give it, and they shall possess it.
“‘Anplis, pitit nou ke nou te di ta devni yon piyaj la, ak fis nou ki nan jou sa a pa t gen konesans a ni sa ki bon ak sa ki mal, va antre la. Mwen va bay yo li, e yo va posede li.
40 But as for you, turn you, and take your journey into the wilderness by the way to the Red Sea.
Men pou nou menm, vire pa dèyè, e fè wout nou pou dezè a pa Lamè Wouj.’
41 Then ye answered and said unto me, We have sinned against the LORD, we will go up and fight, according to all that the LORD our God commanded us. And ye girded on every man his weapons of war, and were forward to go up into the mountain.
“Konsa, nou te di mwen: ‘Nou te peche kont SENYÈ a; anverite, nou va monte pou fè lagè, jis jan ke SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, te kòmande nou an.’ Epi tout gason nan nou te mete zam sou yo. Yo te kalkile ke li te fasil pou monte nan peyi mòn nan.”
42 And the LORD said unto me, Say unto them, Go not up, neither fight; for I am not among you; lest ye be smitten before your enemies.
“Men SENYÈ a te di mwen: ‘Di yo: “Pa monte, ni goumen, paske Mwen pa pami nou. Otreman, nou va vin bat devan lènmi nou yo.”’
43 So I spake unto you, and ye hearkened not; but ye rebelled against the commandment of the LORD, and were presumptuous, and went up into the mountain.
“Konsa, mwen te pale avèk nou, men nou pa t koute mwen. Olye de sa, nou te fè rebèl kont kòmand SENYÈ a. Nou te aji avèk awogans e nou te monte nan peyi mòn lan.
44 And the Amorites, which dwelt in that mountain, came out against you, and chased you, as bees do, and beat you down in Seir, even unto Hormah.
Amoreyen ki te rete nan peyi mòn sa yo te parèt kont nou. Yo te chase nou tankou myèl ta fè e yo te kraze nou soti nan Séir jis rive nan Horma.
45 And ye returned and wept before the LORD; but the LORD hearkened not to your voice, nor gave ear unto you.
Konsa, nou te retounen pou te kriye fò devan SENYÈ a; men SENYÈ a pa t koute vwa nou, ni bannou zòrèy Li.
46 So ye abode in Kadesh many days, according unto the days that ye abode [there].
Pou sa, nou te rete Kadès pandan anpil jou, jou sa yo ke nou te pase la a.”
