Deuteronomy 11
1 Therefore shalt thou love Yahweh thy God and keep his observance and his statutes and his regulations and his commandments all the days.
Se pou nou renmen Seyè a, Bondye nou an. Se pou nou toujou kenbe lòd, prensip ak kòmandman li ban nou yo.
2 And ye must know to-day, (for not with your sons [do I speak] who know not, neither have they seen) the discipline of Yahweh your God, —his greatness, his firm hand, and his stretched-out arm;
Se pou nou rekonèt jòdi a tou sa Seyè a te moutre nou. Nou te wè jan li gen pouvwa, jan li gen fòs, jan li gen kouraj. Se nou menm ki te viv tout bagay sa yo, se pa t' pitit nou yo. Yo menm yo pa t' konn anyen, ni yo pa t' wè anyen.
3 and his signs and his doings, which he did in the midst of Egypt, —unto Pharaoh king of Egypt and unto all his land;
Seyè a te fè nou wè mirak ak gwo mèvèy li te fè nan mitan peyi Lejip, pou li te fini ak farawon an ansanm ak tout moun nan peyi a.
4 and what he did unto the forces of Egypt—unto his horses and unto his chariots in that he caused the waters of the Red Sea to flow over their faces, when they were pursuing after you, —and so Yahweh destroyed them (unto this day);
Nou te wè kisa li te fè lame Lejip la ak tout chwal yo ak tout cha yo, ki jan li te fè dlo lanmè Wouj la kouvri yo, lè yo t'ap rapouswiv nou an. Seyè a te kraze yo nèt.
5 and what he did unto you, in the desert, —until ye came in as far as this place;
Nou konnen sa li te fè pou nou tout tan nou te nan dezè a jouk nou rive isit la.
6 and what he did to Dathan and to Abiram, sons of Eliab, son of Reuben, in that the earth opened wide her mouth, and swallowed-up them and their households and their tents, —and all the living things that attended them, in the midst of all Israel.
Chonje sa li te fè Datan ak Abiram, pitit Eliyab, moun fanmi Woubenn yo. Tè a te fann, li vale yo tou vivan ansanm ak tout fanmi yo, tout tant yo ak tout moun ki te avèk yo, devan je tout pèp Izrayèl la.
7 For yours, are the eyes that have seen every great deed of Yahweh, —which he hath done.
Se nou menm ki te wè ak je nou tout gwo mèvèy sa yo Seyè a te fè.
8 Therefore shall ye keep all the commandment which I am commanding thee, today, —that ye may be strong, and so enter and possess the land, whither ye are passing over to possess it;
Se pou nou mache dapre lòd m'ap ban nou jòdi a, pou nou ka vin fò, pou nou ka pran peyi nou pral anvayi a pou nou,
9 and that ye may prolong your days upon the soil which Yahweh sware unto your fathers, to give unto them and unto their seed, —a land flowing with milk and honey.
pou nou ka viv lontan nan peyi Seyè a te fè sèman l'ap bay zansèt nou yo pou yo menm ak tout ras yo, nan peyi kote lèt ak siwo myèl ap koule tankou dlo.
10 For the land which thou art entering to, possess, not like the land of Egypt, it is, from whence ye came out, —where thou didst sow thy seed, and then water it with thy foot, like a garden of herbs;
Peyi nou pral anvayi pou nou pran pou nou an pa yon peyi ki tankou peyi Lejip kote nou soti a, yon peyi kote se nou menm ki te blije simen grenn nan jaden nou, lèfini pou nou te travay di pou nou wouze yo tankou yo wouze jaden legim.
11 but the land whereinto ye are passing over to, possess it, is a land of hills, and valleys, —which of the rain of the heavens, doth drink water:
Non! Peyi nou pral anvayi pou nou pran pou nou an, se yon peyi ki gen anpil mòn ak anpil fon, yon peyi lapli soti nan syèl wouze tout tan.
12 a land which Yahweh thy God careth for, —continually are the eyes of Yahweh thy God upon it, from the beginning of the year, even unto the end of the year.
Se yon peyi Seyè a, Bondye nou an, ap pran swen, yon peyi l'ap veye pou anyen pa rive l' depi premye jou nan lanne a rive dènye jou a.
13 And it shall come to pass, if ye will hearken, unto my commandments, which, I am commanding you to-day, —to love Yahweh your God, and to serve him, with, all your heart, and with all your soul,
Nou mèt sèten, si nou mache dapre kòmandman mwen ban nou jòdi a, si nou renmen Seyè a, Bondye nou an, si nou sèvi l' ak tout kè nou ak tout nanm nou,
14 then [saith he] I will give the rain of your land in its season, the early rain and the latter rain; so shalt thou gather in thy corn, and thy new wine and thine oil;
m'a voye lapli sou tè nou lè n'a bezwen l', m'a bay lapli nan sezon plante ak nan sezon rekòt pou nou ka gen anpil manje, anpil diven ak anpil lwil.
15 and I will give grass in thy field for thy cattle, —and thou shalt eat and be satisfied.
M'a fè anpil zèb pouse nan savann nou yo pou bèt nou manje. Konsa, n'a jwenn manje pou nou manje plen vant nou.
16 Take heed to yourselves, lest your heart be befooled, —and ye turn aside and serve other gods, and bow down to them.
Fè atansyon pou nou pa pèdi tèt nou, pou nou pa kite chemen ki devan nou an pou n' al sèvi lòt bondye, pou n' al adore yo.
17 So would the anger of Yahweh kindle upon you and he would shut up the heavens, that there should be no rain, and the ground, would not yield her increase, —so should ye perish speedily, from off the good land, which Yahweh is giving unto you.
Si nou kite sa rive nou, Seyè a va fache anpil sou nou, li p'ap voye lapli. Si pa gen lapli, tè a p'ap bay sa pou l' te bay la. Nou tout n'ap mouri byen vit nan bon peyi Seyè a ban nou an.
18 Therefore shall ye lay these my words upon your heart, and upon your soul, —and bind them for a sign upon your hand, and they shall serve as bands between your eyes;
Fè pawòl m'ap di nou la a antre nan tèt nou pou nou pa janm bliye yo! Mare yo sou ponyèt nou ak sou fwon nou pou nou ka toujou chonje yo.
19 and ye shall teach them unto your children by speaking of them, —when thou sittest in thy house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down and when thou risest up;
N'a moutre yo bay timoun nou yo, n'a repete yo nan zòrèy yo, nou te mèt lakay nou, nou te mèt ap mache granchemen, nou te mèt kouche nan kabann nou, nou te mèt kanpe ap travay.
20 and thou shalt write them upon the door-posts of thy house and within thy gates:
Ekri yo sou chanbrann pòt lakay nou ak sou pòtay lavil nou yo,
21 that your days may multiply, and the days of your children, upon the soil which Yahweh sware unto your fathers, to give unto them, —like the days of the heavens upon the earth.
pou nou ka viv lontan, nou menm ansanm ak tout ras nou yo, nan peyi Seyè a te fè sèman l'ap bay zansèt nou yo toutotan va gen yon syèl anwo tè a.
22 For if ye do, indeed keep, all this commandment which I am commanding you to do it, —to love Yahweh your God, to Walk in all his ways, and to cleave unto him,
Si nou swiv pwen pa pwen tout kòmandman mwen ban nou lòd pou nou swiv yo, si nou renmen Seyè a, Bondye nou an, si nou mache sou chemen li mete devan nou an, si nou pa janm lage l',
23 then will Yahweh dispossess all these nations, from before you, —and ye shall dispossess nations greater and stronger than ye:
Seyè a va mete tout nasyon sa yo deyò devan nou pou nou ka pran plas yo. N'a pran pou nou peyi yon bann nasyon ki gen plis moun pase nou, ki pi fò pase nou.
24 every place whereon the sole of your foot shall tread yours, shall it be, —from the desert and the Lebanon from the river—the river Euphrates, even unto the hinder sea, shall be your boundary.
Tout kote pye nou va pile, se pou nou la ye. N'a gen dezè a pou lizyè sou anba, peyi Liban an sou anwo. N'a gen gwo larivyè Lefrat la yon bò ak lanmè Mediterane a sou bò solèy kouche.
25 No man shall stand before you, —the dread of you and the fear of you, will Yahweh your God put forth over the face of all the land whereon ye shall tread, as he spake unto you.
Pesonn p'ap ka kanpe devan nou pou rete nou sou kous nou. Kote nou pase, Seyè a, Bondye nou an, pral fè moun peyi a pè nou, yo pral kouri pou nou jan li te pwomèt nou li a.
26 See! I am setting before you to-day, —a blessing, and a curse:
Jòdi a, mwen mete benediksyon ak madichon devan nou. Se nou ki pou chwazi.
27 the blessing, when ye shall hearken unto the commandments of Yahweh your God, which I am commanding you to-day;
Se va benediksyon pou nou si nou swiv tout kòmandman Seyè a, Bondye nou an, kòmandman mwen ban nou jòdi a.
28 and the curse if ye, shall not hearken unto the commandments of Yahweh your God, but shall turn aside out of the way which I am commanding you to-day, —to go after other gods which ye know not.
Men se va madichon pou nou si nou pa vle mache dapre kòmandman Seyè a, Bondye nou an, si nou kite chemen mwen mande nou pou nou swiv jòdi a pou n' al kouri dèyè lòt bondye nou pa janm konnen.
29 And it shall come to pass when Yahweh thy God shall bring thee into the land which thou art entering to possess, then shalt thou put the blessing, upon Mount Gerizim, and the curse, upon Mount Ebal.
Lè Seyè a, Bondye nou an, va fè nou antre nan peyi nou pral pran pou nou an, n'a mete benediksyon an sou mòn Garizim, n'a mete madichon an sou mòn Ebal.
30 Are, they, not over the Jordan on the way towards the entering in of the sun, in the land of the Canaanite who dwelleth in the plain over against Gilgal beside the Teacher’s Terebinths?
Mòn sa yo lòt bò larivyè Jouden, nan direksyon solèy kouche, nan peyi moun Kanaran yo ki rete nan plenn Araba a, anfas Gilga, toupre pye chenn More a.
31 For ye are passing over the Jordan, to enter to possess the land which Yahweh your God, is giving unto you, —so shall ye possess it and dwell therein.
Nou prèt pou nou janbe lòt bò larivyè Jouden an pou n' al pran pou nou peyi Seyè a, Bondye nou an, ap ban nou an. N'a pran peyi a pou nou, n'a rete ladan l'.
32 Therefore shall ye observe to do all the statutes and the regulations, —which I am setting before you to-day.
N'a fè atansyon pou nou kenbe tout lòd ak tout prensip mwen mete devan nou jòdi a.
