< Deuteronomy 30 >
1 And it shall come to pass, when all these things shall come in upon thee—the blessing and the curse, which I have set before thee, —and thou shalt bring them back unto thy heart among all the nations whither Yahweh thy God hath driven thee;
Mwen mete benediksyon ak madichon dèvan nou pou n' chwazi. Lè tout bagay mwen te di nou yo va rive nou, si, antan n'ap viv nan mitan lòt nasyon nan peyi kote Seyè a te gaye nou yo, nou vin chonje sa m' te di nou,
2 and thou shalt return unto Yahweh thy God and shalt hearken unto his voice, according to all that I am commanding thee to-day, —thou and thy sons, with all thy heart, and with all thy soul,
si nou tounen vin jwenn Seyè a, Bondye nou an, si nou koute l' ak tout kè nou, ak tout nanm nou, nou menm ak tout pitit nou yo, jan m'ap ban nou lòd jòdi a,
3 then will Yahweh thy God bring back thy captivity and have compassion upon thee, —and return and gather thee from among all the peoples whither Yahweh thy God hath scattered thee.
enben, lè sa a Seyè a, Bondye nou an, va gen pitye pou nou. L'a mennen tout moun yo te depòte yo tounen lakay yo. L'a chanje sò nou. Li pral mache chache nou nan tout peyi kote li te gaye nou yo, l'a sanble nou ankò.
4 Though thou be driven out unto the utmost part of the heavens, from thence, will Yahweh thy God gather thee, and, from thence will he fetch thee;
Yo mèt depòte nou jouk nan dènye bout latè, Seyè a, Bondye nou an, pral chache nou jouk la pou l' sanble nou ankò.
5 and Yahweh thy God will bring thee into the land which thy fathers possessed, and thou shalt possess it, —and he will do thee good and multiply thee beyond thy fathers.
Seyè a va fè nou tounen nan peyi kote zansèt nou yo te rete a, n'a tounen pran l' pou nou ankò. L'a fè nou plis byen pase sa l' te fè pou zansèt nou yo, l'a fè nou vin pi plis pase zansèt nou yo.
6 And Yahweh thy God will circumcise thy heart, and the heart of thy seed, —to love Yahweh thy God with all thy heart and with all thy soul, that thou mayest live.
Seyè a, Bondye nou an, va mete mak kontra li a sou kè nou ak sou kè pitit nou yo, pou nou ka renmen l' ak tout kè nou, ak tout nanm nou, pou nou ka gen lavi.
7 And Yahweh thy God will put all these oaths upon thine enemies and upon them who hated thee who persecuted thee.
Seyè a, Bondye nou an, va fè tout madichon sa yo tonbe sou lènmi nou yo, sou moun ki pa t' vle wè nou yo, sou moun ki t'ap maltrete nou yo.
8 But, thou, wilt return, and hearken unto the voice of Yahweh, —and wilt do all his commandments, which I am commanding thee, to-day,
Men, nou menm, n'a tounen vin jwenn Seyè a, n'a koute l', n'a fè tou sa li ban nou lòd fè a, jan mwen mande nou li jòdi a.
9 And Yahweh thy God will make thee pre-eminent, in every work of thy hand—in the fruit of thy body, and in the fruit of thy cattle and in the fruit of thy ground, for good, —for Yahweh will again rejoice over thee for good, as he rejoiced over thy fathers:
Seyè a, Bondye nou an, va kouvri nou anba benediksyon. Li va fè tout zafè nou mache byen, l'a ban nou anpil pitit, l'a ban nou anpil bèt, l'a fè jaden nou yo bay bèl rekòt. Paske, Seyè a va pran plezi ankò pou l' fè nou viv ak kè kontan, menm jan li te pran plezi fè sa pou zansèt nou yo.
10 if thou hearken unto the voice of Yahweh thy God, to keep his commandments, and his statutes, which are written in this scroll of the law, —if thou return unto Yahweh thy God, with all thy heart and with all thy soul.
Men, n'a gen pou nou koute Seyè a, Bondye nou an, n'a gen pou nou kenbe tout kòmandman li yo ak tout regleman li yo, tou sa ki ekri nan liv lalwa a. Wi, se pou nou tounen vin jwenn Seyè a, Bondye nou an, ak tout kè nou, ak tout nanm nou.
11 For as touching this commandment, which I am commanding thee to-day, it is not, too wonderful, for thee, neither is it far off.
Kòmandman m'ap ban nou jòdi a, se pa bagay nou pa kapab fè, bagay nou pa ka rive fè.
12 It is, not in the heavens, —that thou shouldest say—Who shall ascend for us into the heavens that he may fetch it for us, that we may hear it, and do it?
Se pa nan syèl la li ye pou n' ta di: Kilès ki pral moute al chache l' nan syèl la pou fè nou tande l', pou n' ka fè sa l' mande nou fè a?
13 Neither is it, over the sea, —that thou shouldest say, Who will pass over for us to the other side of the sea, that he may fetch it for us, that we may hear it, and do it?
Se pa lòt bò lanmè li ye non plis pou nou ta di: Kilès ki pral janbe lanmè al chache l' pou nou ka tande sa l' di, pou nou ka fè sa l' mande nou fè a?
14 But, near unto thee, is the word, exceedingly, —in thy mouth and in thy heart, that thou mayest do it.
Non. Li la toupre nou. Li nan bouch nou, li nan tèt nou pou nou ka fè sa l' mande nou fè a.
15 See! I have set before thee, to-day, life and prosperity, —and death and calamity;
Gade. Jòdi a mwen mete devan nou lavi ak benediksyon yon bò, lanmò ak madichon yon bò. Se nou ki pou chwazi.
16 for thou must keep the commandments of Yahweh thy God which I am commanding thee to-day, to love Yahweh thy God, to walk in his ways, and to keep his commandments and his statutes, and his regulations, —so shalt thou live and multiply, and Yahweh thy God will bless thee, in the land which thou art entering to possess.
Sa m'ap mande nou jòdi a, se pou nou renmen Seyè a, Bondye nou an, se pou nou viv jan li vle l' la, se pou nou fè tou sa li mande nou fè nan kòmandman li yo, nan lòd li yo ak nan regleman li yo. Konsa, n'a gen lavi, n'a gen anpil pitit. Seyè a, Bondye nou an, va beni nou nan peyi nou pral pran pou rele nou pa nou an.
17 But, if thy heart shall turn away, and thou wilt, not hearken, —but shalt be drawn away, and shalt bow thyself down to other gods and serve them,
Men, si nou vire do ba li, si nou derefize koute l', si nou kite yo pran tèt nou pou n' al mete ajenou devan lòt bondye, pou n' al fè sèvis pou yo,
18 I declare unto you, to-day, that ye shall perish, —ye shall not prolong your days, upon the soil which thou art passing over the Jordan to enter and possess.
m'ap avèti nou depi koulye a: nou tout gen pou mouri. Nou p'ap viv lontan nan peyi lòt bò larivyè Jouden kote nou pral antre pou nou pran pou nou an.
19 I call to witness against you to-day, the heavens and the earth, that life and death, have I set before thee, the blessing and the curse, —therefore shouldest thou choose life, that thou mayest live, thou and thy seed;
Mwen pran syèl la ak latè a sèvi m' temwen jòdi a: Men li, mwen mete devan nou lavi yon bò, lanmò yon bò, benediksyon yon bò, madichon yon bò pou nou chwazi. Chwazi lavi tande, pou nou ka viv, nou menm ansanm ak tout pitit nou yo.
20 to love Yahweh thy God, to hearken unto his voice, and to cleave unto him, —for, he, is thy life, and thy length of days, that thou mayest abide upon the soil which Yahweh sware to thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac and to Jacob, to give unto them.
renmen Seyè a, Bondye nou an. Koute l'. Pa lage l' menm, paske se li menm ki tout lavi nou, se li k'ap fè nou viv lontan nan peyi Seyè a te fè pwomès li t'ap bay Abraram, Izarak ak Jakòb, zansèt nou yo.
