Deuteronomy 6
1 This, then is the commandment—[namely] the statutes and the regulations, which Yahweh your God hath commanded to teach you, —that ye may do them in the land whither ye are passing over to possess it:
Koulye a, men kòmandman, lòd ak prensip Seyè a, Bondye nou an, te mande pou yo moutre nou, pou nou te ka swiv yo nan peyi kote nou pral antre pou nou pran pou nou an.
2 that thou mayest revere Yahweh thy God, [so as] to keep all his statutes and his commandments which I am commanding thee, thou and thy son and thy sons’ son, all the days of thy life, —and that thy days may be prolonged.
Konsa, ni nou menm, ni pitit nou yo, ni pitit pitit nou yo, n'a gen krentif pou Seyè a, Bondye nou an, n'a kenbe tout lòd ak tout kòmandman li ban nou yo, chak jou nan lavi nou. Se konsa n'a viv lontan.
3 Therefore shalt thou hear, O Israel, and shalt observe to do, that it may be well with thee, and that ye may multiply greatly, as Yahweh the God of thy fathers hath spoken to thee, in a land flowing with milk and honey.
Koute byen sa m'ap di nou, nou menm pèp Izrayèl! Pa bliye yo. Fè tou sa mwen di nou fè. Se sa ki va fè nou viv ak kè kontan. Se sa ki va fè nou tounen yon gran nasyon nan bon peyi sa a, kote lèt ak siwo myèl ap koule tankou dlo, jan Seyè a, Bondye zansèt nou yo, te di l' la.
4 Hear, O Israel: Yahweh, is our God, —Yahweh alone.
Koute byen, nou menm pep Izrayèl! Seyè a, Bondye nou an, se li ki sèl mèt.
5 Thou shalt therefore love Yahweh thy God, —with all thy heart and with all thy soul, and with all thy might;
Se pou nou renmen Seyè a, Bondye nou an, avèk tout kè nou, avèk tout nanm nou, avèk tout fòs kouraj nou.
6 so shall these words which I am commanding thee to-day, be upon thy heart;
Pa janm bliye kòmandman m'ap ban nou jòdi a.
7 and thou shalt impress them upon thy sons, and shalt speak 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 pitit nou yo. N'a repete yo nan zòrèy yo, kit nou chita lakay nou, kit n'ap mache sou granchemen, kit nou kouche nan kabann nou, kit nou kanpe ap travay.
8 and thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thy hand, —and they shall serve for bands between thine eyes;
Mare yo sou ponyèt nou ak sou fwon nou pou nou sa pa janm bliye yo.
9 and thou shalt write them upon the posts of thy house and within thy gates.
N'a ekri yo sou chanbrann pòt lakay nou ak sou pòtay lavil nou yo.
10 So shall it be, when Yahweh thy God shall bring thee into the land, which he sware to thy fathers—to Abraham to Isaac and to Jacob to give unto thee, —into cities great and goodly, which thou didst not build;
Seyè a pral kenbe pwomès li te fè Abraram, Izarak ak Jakòb, zansèt nou yo, li pral fè nou antre nan peyi li te fè sèman l'ap ban nou an. Se yon peyi kote n'a jwenn gwo bèl lavil nou pa t' bati,
11 and houses full of all good things, which thou filledst not, and hewn cisterns which thou hewedst not, vineyards and oliveyards which thou plantedst not, —and shalt eat and be full,
kote n'a jwenn kay plen bon bagay san se pa nou menm ki te mete yo la, avèk pi byen fon nou pa t' fouye, avèk jaden rezen ak jaden oliv nou pa t' plante. Lè sa a, lè n'a fin manje plen vant nou,
12 take heed unto thyself, lest thou forget Yahweh, —who brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt out of the house of servants.
fè atansyon pou nou pa bliye Seyè a, li menm ki te fè nou soti kite peyi Lejip kote nou te esklav la.
13 Yahweh thy God, shalt thou revere And him, shalt thou serve, —And by his name, shalt thou swear.
Se pou Seyè a, Bondye nou an, ase pou nou gen krentif. Se li menm ase pou nou sèvi. Se non li sèlman pou nou pran pou fè sèman.
14 Ye shall not go after other gods, —of the gods of the peoples who are surrounding you;
Pa kouri dèyè lòt bondye. Piga n' al sèvi bondye pèp k'ap viv toupre nou yo.
15 for a jealous GOD, is Yahweh thy God in thy midst, —lest the anger of Yahweh thy God kindle upon thee, and so he destroy thee from off the face of the ground.
Paske Seyè a, Bondye ki rete nan mitan nou an, se yon Bondye ki fè jalouzi anpil. Si nou fè sa, l'a fache sou nou, l'a disparèt nou nèt sou latè.
16 Ye shall not put Yahweh your God to the proof, —as ye put him to the proof in Massah [that is, "The place of proving"].
Piga nou sonde Seyè a, Bondye nou an, jan nou te fè l' bò Masa a.
17 Ye shall, keep, the commandments of Yahweh your God and his testimonies and his statutes which he hath commanded thee;
Se pou nou kenbe tout kòmandman Seyè a ansanm ak tout lòd ak tout prensip li ban nou pou nou swiv.
18 so shalt thou do what is right and what is pleasing in the eyes of Yahweh, —that it may be well with thee, and thou mayest enter in and possess the good land, which Yahweh sware unto thy fathers;
N'a fè sa ki dwat ak sa ki byen nan je Bondye pou nou ka gen kè kontan, pou nou ka pran bèl peyi Seyè a te fè sèman l'ap bay zansèt nou yo,
19 to thrust out all thine enemies from before thee, —As spake Yahweh.
pou nou ka chase tout lènmi nou yo devan nou, jan li te pwomèt la.
20 When thy son shall ask thee in time to come, saying, —What mean the testimonies and the statutes and the regulations, which Yahweh our God commanded you?
Yon jou, lè pitit nou yo va mande nou poukisa Seyè a, Bondye nou an, mande nou pou nou swiv tout lòd, tout prensip ak tout kòmandman sa yo,
21 Then shalt thou say unto thy son, Servants, were we unto Pharaoh in Egypt, —and Yahweh brought us forth out of Egypt with a firm hand;
lè sa a, n'a di yo: Nou te esklav farawon an nan peyi Lejip. Seyè a te fè nou soti kite peyi Lejip la avèk fòs ponyèt li.
22 and Yahweh put forth signs and wonders great and sore upon Egypt upon Pharaoh and upon all his household before our eyes;
Nou te wè ak je nou tout mèvèy ak tout mirak li te fè pou kraze peyi Lejip, ansanm ak farawon an ak tout moun pa l' yo.
23 but he brought us forth from thence, —that he might bring us in, to give unto us the land, which he sware unto our fathers.
Men nou menm, li fè nou soti kote nou te ye a, li mennen nou nan peyi li te pwomèt zansèt nou yo, epi li ban nou li.
24 So then Yahweh commanded us to do all these statutes, to revere Yahweh our God, —for our good, all the days, to preserve us alive (as at this day);
Apre sa, Seyè a, Bondye nou an, te pase nou lòd pou nou kenbe tout prensip sa yo. Konsa, n'a gen krentif pou li, n'a viv ak kè kontan, epi l'a konsève lavi nou jan li fè sa pou nou jouk koulye a.
25 and righteousness, shall it be to us, —when we take heed to do all this commandment, before Yahweh our God, as he commanded us.
Si nou vle fè Bondye plezi, se pou nou fè atansyon pou nou swiv tout kòmandman sa yo nèt, se pou nou mache devan Seyè a, Bondye nou an, jan li te mande nou an.
