< Deuteronomy 28 >
1 And it will be certainly [if] you will listen to [the] voice of Yahweh God your to take care to observe all commandments his which I [am] commanding you this day and he will set you Yahweh God your most high above all [the] nations of the earth.
Si nou koute Seyè a, Bondye nou an, si nou fè tou sa mwen ban nou lòd fè jòdi a, Seyè a va fè nou tounen nasyon ki pi gran pase tout lòt nasyon ki sou latè.
2 And they will come on you all the blessings these and they will overtake you if you will listen to [the] voice of Yahweh God your.
Wi, si nou koute Seyè a, Bondye nou an, men benediksyon l'ap vide sou nou:
3 [will be] blessed You in the city and [will be] blessed you in the open country.
Seyè a va beni nou lavil kou andeyò.
4 [will be] blessed [the] fruit of Womb your and [the] fruit of ground your and [the] fruit of livestock your [the] young of cattle your and [the] young ones of sheep your.
Seyè a va beni pitit nou yo, rekòt jaden nou yo, pòte bèf nou yo, pòte kabrit nou yo, pòte mouton nou yo ak pòte tout lòt bèt nou yo.
5 [will be] blessed Basket your and kneading trough your.
Seyè a va beni rekòt ble nou ak rekòt farin nou.
6 [will be] blessed You when coming you and [will be] blessed you when going out you.
Seyè a va beni nou nan tou sa n'ap fè, depi nan mete men jouk nou bout.
7 He will make Yahweh enemies your who will arise on you defeated before you in a direction one they will come out against you and in seven directions they will flee before you.
Seyè a va fè nou kraze tout lènmi ki va atake nou. Lè y'ap vin sou nou, y'a mache ansanm sou yon sèl chemen. Men, y'a gaye toupatou lè y'ap kraze rak pou nou.
8 He will command Yahweh with you the blessing in barns your and in every undertaking of hand your and he will bless you in the land which Yahweh God your [is] about to give to you.
Seyè a va beni nou tout tan, l'a beni depo manje nou, l'a beni tou sa n'ap fè. L'a beni nou nan peyi Seyè a, Bondye nou an, va ban nou an.
9 (He will establish you *LB(ah)*) Yahweh for himself to a people holy just as he swore to you that [if] you will keep [the] commandments of Yahweh God your and you will walk in ways his.
Si nou fè tou sa Seyè a, Bondye nou an, mande nou fè, si nou viv jan li vle nou viv la, n'a yon pèp k'ap viv apa nèt pou Seyè a, Bondye nou an, jan l' te fè nou pwomès la.
10 And they will see all [the] peoples of the earth that [the] name of Yahweh it is called on you and they will be afraid from you.
Lè sa a, tout pèp sou latè va wè Seyè a te chwazi nou pou pote non l', y'a gen respè pou nou.
11 And he will make abound you Yahweh to good in [the] fruit of womb your and in [the] fruit of livestock your and in [the] fruit of ground your on the land which he swore Yahweh to ancestors your to give to you.
Seyè a va kouvri nou ak benediksyon, l'a ban nou anpil pitit, anpil bèt ak anpil rekòt nan peyi Seyè a te pwomèt zansèt nou yo l'ap ban nou an.
12 He will open Yahweh - for you storehouse his good the heavens to give [the] rain of land your at appropriate time its and to bless all [the] work of hand your and you will lend to nations many and you not you will borrow.
L'a rete nan syèl la, l'a louvri trezò li, l'a voye lapli sou peyi a lè sezon an va rive, l'a beni tout travay n'ap fè. N'a gen pou nou prete tout moun. Nou p'ap janm bezwen mande pesonn prete.
13 And he will make you Yahweh into [the] head and not into [the] tail and you will be only upwards and not you will be downwards if you will listen to [the] commandments of - Yahweh God your which I [am] commanding you this day to take care and to do.
Seyè a va mete nou devan, nou p'ap janm dèyè. N'a toujou anwo, nou p'ap janm anba, depi nou swiv tout lòd Seyè a, Bondye nou an, depi nou fè tou sa mwen mande nou fè jòdi a,
14 And not you will turn aside from all the words which I [am] commanding you this day right [hand] and left [hand] to walk after gods other to serve them.
san nou pa janm kite chemen li mete devan nou an pou n' ale dèyè lòt bondye pou nou sèvi yo.
15 And it will be if not you will listen to [the] voice of Yahweh God your to take care to observe all commandments his and statutes his which I [am] commanding you this day and they will come on you all the curses these and they will overtake you.
Men tou, si nou pa koute Seyè a, Bondye nou an, si nou pa fè tou sa mwen ban nou lòd fè jòdi a, si nou pa swiv regleman mwen ban nou yo, men madichon l'ap ban nou epi k'ap tonbe sou nou:
16 [will be] cursed You in the city and [will be] cursed you in the open country.
Madichon Bondye va tonbe sou nou nan lavil kou andeyò.
17 [will be] cursed Basket your and kneading trough your.
Madichon Bondye va tonbe sou rekòt ble nou ak sou rekòt farin nou.
18 [will be] cursed [the] fruit of Womb your and [the] fruit of ground your [the] young of cattle your and [the] young ones of sheep your.
Madichon Bondye va tonbe sou pitit nou yo, sou rekòt jaden nou yo, sou pòte bèf, pòte kabrit ak pòte mouton nou yo.
19 [will be] cursed You when coming you and [will be] cursed you when going out you.
Madichon Bondye va tonbe sou tou sa n'ap fè, depi nan mete men jouk nou bout.
20 He will send Yahweh - on you the curse confusion and rebuke in every undertaking of hand your which you will do until being destroyed you and until perishing you quickly because of [the] wickedness of deeds your which you have forsaken me.
Si nou fè bagay ki mal, si nou vire do bay Seyè a, l'ap voye tout kalite madichon sou nou: Nou p'ap konn sa pou n' fè, n'a gen kè sere nan tou sa n'ap fè jouk n'a rete konsa n'a fin disparèt nèt, paske nou te fè bagay ki mal, nou te vire do ba li.
21 He will make cling Yahweh to you pestilence until has destroyed he you from on the land where you [are] about to go there towards to take possession of it.
Seyè a ap voye yon sèl move maladi po k'ap fini nèt ak nou nan peyi nou pral pran pou nou an.
22 He will strike you Yahweh with consumption and with fever and with inflammation and with feverish heat and with the sword and with blight and with mildew and they will pursue you until perishing you.
L'ap voye sou nou epidemi, move lafyèb, maladi anfle, chalè pou toufe moun, jouk n'a mouri. L'a voye chechrès, vèmen ak pichon pou detwi rekòt nou yo. Malè sa yo va tonbe sou nou jouk n'a fin disparèt nèt.
23 And they will be heavens your which [are] over head your bronze and the ground which [is] under you iron.
Syèl la p'ap bay yon degout lapli menm. Tè a va vin di kou wòch.
24 He will make Yahweh [the] rain of land your dust and dust from the heavens it will come down on you until being destroyed you.
Nan plas lapli, Seyè a va fè pousyè tè ak sab kouvri nou jouk nou mouri.
25 He will make you Yahweh - defeated before enemies your in a direction one you will go out against him and in seven directions you will flee before him and you will become a terror to all [the] kingdoms of the earth.
L'a fè lènmi nou yo bat nou. N'a pran yon sèl chemen ansanm pou n' atake yo. Men, n'a gaye toupatou lè n'a pran rak devan yo. Tout moun sou latè pral mete men nan tèt lè y'a wè sa ki rive nou.
26 And it will become corpse your food for every bird of the heavens and for [the] animal[s] of the earth and there not [will be one who] disturbs [them].
Lè n'a mouri, se zwazo ak bèt nan bwa ki pral manje kadav nou yo san p'ap gen pesonn pou pouse yo ale.
27 He will strike you Yahweh with [the] boil[s] of Egypt (and with tumors *Q(K)*) and with eczema and with scabies which not you will be able to be healed.
Seyè a va fè bouton leve sou tout kò nou, menm jan li te fè moun peyi Lejip yo, n'a gen apse, lagal, pyas, epi nou p'ap ka jwenn gerizon pou maladi po sa yo.
28 He will strike you Yahweh with madness and with blindness and with bewilderment of heart.
Seyè a va fè nou pèdi tèt nou, nou p'ap konprann sa n'ap fè, nou p'ap konnen kote pou n' mete kò nou.
29 And you will be groping in the noontide just as he gropes blind [person] in the darkness and not you will make successful ways your and you will be only oppressed and robbed all the days and there not [will be] a deliverer.
Gwo midi, n'a tatonnen tankou avèg k'ap mache nan fènwa. Nou p'ap jwenn rannman nan ankenn travay n'ap fè. Tout tan moun ap malmennen nou, y'ap vòlè nou, lèfini p'ap gen pesonn pou pote nou sekou.
30 A woman you will betroth and a man another (he will lie with her *Q(K)*) a house you will build and not you will dwell in it a vineyard you will plant and not (you will put to use it. *L(abh)*)
N'a fiyanse ak yon fi, men se yon lòt gason ki va kouche ak li. N'a bati yon kay, men nou p'ap janm rete ladan l'. N'a plante yon jaden rezen, men nou p'ap janm jwi l'.
31 Ox your [will be] slaughtered to eyes your and not you will eat any of it donkey your [will be] seized from to before you and not anyone will return [it] to you flock your [will be] given to enemies your and not [will belong] to you a deliverer.
Y'a touye bèf nou yo la devan je nou, men nou p'ap ka mete yon ti moso nan vyann li nan bouch nou. Y'ap pran bourik nou nan bab nou al avè l', yo p'ap janm renmèt nou li. Y'a bay lènmi nou yo tout mouton nou yo, epi p'ap gen pesonn pou pote nou sekou.
32 Sons your and daughters your [will be] given to a people another and eyes your [will be] looking and longing to them all the day and not [it is] to [the] power of hand your.
N'a wè ak je nou y'ap pran pitit gason ak pitit fi nou yo bay moun lòt nasyon. Tout lè n'a anvi wè yo ankò, men p'ap gen anyen nou ka fè pou sa.
33 [the] fruit of Ground your and all [the] result of toil your it will eat a people which not you have known and you will be only oppressed and crushed all the days.
Moun nou pa janm konnen va manje tou sa ki nan jaden nou ak tout pwofi travay nou. Se tout tan y'a malmennen nou, y'a maltrete nou.
34 And you will be driven mad from [the] sight[s] of eyes your which you will see.
Lè n'a wè tout bagay sa yo rive nou, n'a pèdi tèt nou!
35 He will strike you Yahweh with boil[s] bad on the knees and on the legs which not you will be able to be healed from [the] sole of foot your and to scalp your.
Seyè a va ban nou yon sèl malenng nan jenou ak sou kwis janm nou ki p'ap janm geri. Bouton ap parèt sou tout kò nou, depi nan pye jouk nan tèt.
36 He will lead Yahweh you and king your whom you will raise up over you to a nation which not you have known you and ancestors your and you will serve there gods other wood and stone.
Seyè a pral depòte nou ansanm ak tout wa nou te mete alatèt nou, nan yon peyi etranje ni nou menm ni zansèt nou yo pa t' janm konnen. Lè n'a rive la, n'a sèvi zidòl fèt an bwa ak zidòl fèt ak wòch.
37 And you will become a horror a byword and a taunt among all the peoples where he will drive away you Yahweh there towards.
Nan tout peyi kote Seyè a pral gaye nou yo, moun pral sezi wè sa ki rive nou, y'a pase nou anba kont betiz, y'a fè chante sou nou.
38 Seed much you will take out the field and little you will gather for it will consume it the locust[s].
N'a plante anpil grenn nan jaden nou, men n'a rekòlte yon ti kras, paske krikèt va manje pifò.
39 Vineyards you will plant and you will labor and wine not you will drink and not you will gather for it will eat it the worm[s].
N'a plante jaden rezen, n'a okipe yo byen. Men, nou p'ap jwenn rezen ni pou nou rekòlte, ni pou fè diven pou nou bwè, paske vèmen va fin manje tout.
40 Olive trees they will belong to you in all territory your and oil not you will anoint yourself for it will drop off olive[s] your.
Pye oliv va pouse toupatou nan peyi nou an, men nou p'ap gen yon ti degout lwil oliv, paske tout grenn oliv yo ap koule.
41 Sons and daughters you will father and not they will belong to you for they will go in captivity.
N'a fè pitit fi ak pitit gason, men yo p'ap pou nou, paske lènmi nou yo ap fè yo prizonye, y'ap depòte yo.
42 Every tree your and [the] fruit of ground your it will take possession of the locust[s].
Krikèt pral manje tout pyebwa nou yo ak tout ti plant ki nan jaden nou yo.
43 The sojourner who [is] in midst your he will go up above you up-wards up-wards and you you will go down downwards downwards.
Moun lòt nasyon k'ap viv nan mitan nou va vin pi fò pase nou. Nou menm, chak jou, n'a pèdi fil.
44 He he will lend to you and you not you will lend to him he he will become [the] head and you you will become into [the] tail.
Se yo menm ki va gen lajan pou yo prete nou. Nou menm nou p'ap gen anyen pou n' prete yo. Se yo ki va devan, nou menm nou pral dèyè nèt.
45 And they will come on you all the curses these and they will pursue you and they will overtake you until being destroyed you for not you listened to [the] voice of Yahweh God your to keep commandments his and statutes his which he has commanded you.
Tout giyon sa yo va tonbe sou nou. Kote nou pase y'a pase dèyè nou. Y'a rete sou nou jouk y'a fini nèt ak nou. Tou sa, paske nou pa t' koute sa Seyè a, Bondye nou an, di nou, nou pa t' fè tou sa li te mande nou fè nan lòd ak regleman li te ban nou yo.
46 And they will become among you a sign and a wonder and among offspring your until perpetuity.
Madichon sa yo va sèvi ni pou nou ni pou pitit nou yo pou moutre nou kalite mèvèy ak mirak Bondye ka fè.
47 Because that not you have served Yahweh God your with joy and with goodness of heart from [the] abundance of everything.
Bondye te ban nou tou sa nou te bezwen. Men malgre sa, nou pa t' sèvi l' tout bon ak kè kontan.
48 And you will serve enemies your whom he will send forth him Yahweh on you in hunger and in thirst and in nakedness and in lack of everything and he will put a yoke of iron on neck your until has destroyed he you.
Se poutèt sa, nou pral sèvi lènmi Seyè a pral voye sou nou. Nou pral soufri grangou, swaf dlo, toutouni, dizèt ak tout kalite mizè. Seyè a pral fè lènmi yo kraze nou anba men yo, jouk y'a fini nèt ak nou.
49 He will raise up Yahweh on you a nation from a distance from [the] end of the earth just as it swoops down eagle a nation which not you will understand language its.
Seyè a pral mennen yon nasyon soti byen lwen nan dènye bout latè, yon nasyon ki pale yon lang nou p'ap konprann, yo pral vare sou nou tankou malfini sou poul.
50 A nation fierce of face which not it will lift up face for an old [person] and a youth not it will show favor to.
Se moun ki gen kè di. Yo p'ap respekte vye granmoun, ni yo p'ap gen pitye pou timoun.
51 And it will devour [the] fruit of livestock your and [the] fruit of ground your until being destroyed you which not it will leave to you grain new wine and fresh oil [the] young of cattle your and [the] young ones of sheep your until destroys it you.
Y'a manje pwofi bèt nou yo, ak rekòt jaden nou yo jouk y'a kite nou mouri grangou. Yo p'ap kite anyen pou nou, ni farin, ni diven, ni lwil, ni pòte bèf nou yo ni pòte mouton nou yo, jouk y'a fini nèt ak nou.
52 And it will lay siege to you in all gates your until come down walls your high and fortified which you [are] trusting in them in all land your and it will lay siege to you in all gates your in all land your which he has given Yahweh God your to you.
Y'a atake nou. Y'a sènen tout lavil nou yo, jouk y'a fin kraze gwo miray byen wo ki te sèvi nou ranpa, miray nou te kwè ki ta ka toujou pwoteje nou yo. Wi, y'a fèmen nou, y'a sènen tout lavil nou yo, toupatou nan peyi Seyè a, Bondye nou an, te fè nou kado a.
53 And you will eat [the] fruit of womb your [the] flesh of sons your and daughters your whom he has given to you Yahweh God your in [the] siege and in [the] distress which he will bring distress to you enemy your.
Lè lènmi nou yo va sènen nou nan lavil nou yo, y'a mete nou nan yon sèl kalite mizè ak kè sere, n'a sitèlman grangou, n'a manje pwòp pitit nou yo, pitit gason ak pitit fi Seyè a, Bondye nou an, te ban nou.
54 The man gentle among you and delicate very it will be evil eye his on brother his and on [the] wife of bosom his and on [the] remainder of children his which it will remain.
Menm moun nou konnen ki pi bon nan mitan nou an, moun ki pa janm nan kont ak pesonn lan, enben menm li menm, l'a fèmen kè l', li p'ap konn frè, li p'ap konn madanm li te renmen an, ni ankenn pitit nan sa ki rete l' yo,
55 From giving - to one from them any of [the] flesh of children his whom he will eat because not he has left to him anything in [the] siege and in [the] distress which he will bring distress to you enemy your in all gates your.
pou li pa bay pesonn nan vyann pitit li l'ap manje a, paske ak lènmi k'ap sènen nou nan lavil nou yo, ap gen yon sèl mizè ak kè sere nan mitan lavil nou yo, ata li menm, l'a sitèlman grangou, l'a blije manje pwòp pitit li, epi li p'ap bay pesonn ladan l'.
56 The gentle [woman] among you and the delicate [woman] who not she has attempted [the] sole of foot her to place on the ground because was delicate and from gentleness it will be evil eye her on [the] husband of bosom her and on son her and on daughter her.
Menm fanm nou konnen ki pi bon moun nan mitan nou an, fanm ki pa ta janm ap mache nan lari tèlman li gen bon jan ak bon levasyon an, li va fèmen kè l', li p'ap konn ni mari li renmen anpil la, ni pitit fi, ni pitit gason.
57 And on afterbirth her which goes forth - from between feet her and on children her whom she will bear for she will eat them in lack of everything in secrecy in [the] siege and in [the] distress which he will bring distress to you enemy your in gates your.
Pou li pa separe ak yo, l'a kache kò l' pou yo pa wè l' lè l'ap manje pitit li fenk fè a, ansanm ak tout manman vant lan. Paske, avèk lènmi k'ap sènen nou nan lavil nou yo, ap gen yon sèl mizè ak kè sere, p'ap gen anyen pou manje. Lè sa a, l'a kache kò l' pou l' pa bay yo anyen nan sa l'ap manje a.
58 If not you will take care to observe all [the] words of the law this which are written in the book this to fear the name glorious and awesome this Yahweh God your.
Si nou pa swiv tout regleman ki ekri nan liv lalwa sa a, si nou pa gen krentif pou Bondye nou an, Seyè ki gen anpil pouvwa a, Bondye moun fèt pou respekte a,
59 And he will make extraordinary Yahweh plagues your and [the] plagues of offspring your plagues great and lasting and sicknesses harmful and lasting.
Seyè a va voye gwo malè sa yo sou nou ak sou pitit nou yo, l'a voye gwo epidemi ki pa tande rete, move maladi ki pa konn renmèd.
60 And he will bring back on you every disease of Egypt which you were afraid of them and they will cling to you.
L'a voye sou nou ankò tout malè ki te tonbe sou moun peyi Lejip yo, malè ki te fè nou tranble yo. Nou p'ap janm ka soti anba yo.
61 Also every sickness and every plague which not [is] written in [the] book of the law this he will bring up them Yahweh on you until being destroyed you.
Sa ki pi rèd ankò, Seyè a va voye sou nou tout kalite epidemi ak maladi yo pa pale nan liv lalwa Seyè a jouk la fini nèt avèk nou.
62 And you will be left men of fewness in place of that you were like [the] stars of the heavens for multitude for not you have listened to [the] voice of Yahweh God your.
Epi nou menm, moun pèp Izrayèl yo, ki te anpil tankou zetwal ki nan syèl la, n'a tounen yon ti ponyen moun, paske nou pa t' koute sa Seyè a, Bondye nou an, te di nou.
63 And it will be just as he rejoiced Yahweh on you to do good to you and to increase you so he will rejoice Yahweh on you to destroy you and to destroy you and you will be torn away from on the land where you [are] about to go there towards to take possession of it.
Menm jan Seyè a, Bondye nou an, te pran plezi pou l' te fè nou byen, pou l' te fè nou vin anpil la, se konsa tou l'a pran plezi pou l' fè nou pèdi tout bagay, pou l' fini nèt ak nou. L'a rache nou met deyò nan peyi kote nou pral antre a, peyi nou pral pran pou nou rete a.
64 And he will scatter you Yahweh among all the peoples from [the] end of the earth and to [the] end of the earth and you will serve there gods other which not you have known you and ancestors your wood and stone.
Seyè a va gaye nou nan mitan tout nasyon ki toupatou sou latè. Lè n'a rive la, n'a sèvi lòt bondye ni zansèt nou yo, ni nou menm nou pa t' janm tande pale, zidòl fèt an bwa, zidòl fèt ak wòch.
65 And among the nations those not you will rest and not it will belong a resting place to [the] sole of foot your and he will give Yahweh to you there a heart trembling and failing of eyes and despair of being.
Antan n'ap viv nan mitan lòt nasyon sa yo, nou p'ap janm gen kè poze, nou p'ap janm ka rete yon sèl kote. Seyè a va fè nou viv ak kè sote, nan lapenn ak dekourajman.
66 And they will be life your hung up for you from in front and you will be in dread night and by day and not you will trust in life your.
Lavi nou ap toujou an danje. Lajounen kou lannwit, n'ap nan laperèz, n'ap pè pou lanmò pa pran nou.
67 In the morning you will say who? will he give evening and in the evening you will say who? will he give morning from [the] dread of heart your which you will dread and from [the] sight[s] of eyes your which you will see.
Devan bagay n'a wè k'ap pase devan je nou, n'a gen yon sèl laperèz nan kè nou, kè nou va bat bip-bip! Chak maten n'a mande kilè aswè va rive. Chak aswè n'a mande kilè la jou.
68 And he will make return you Yahweh - Egypt in ships by the way which I said to you not you will repeat again to see it and you will sell yourselves there to enemies your to [male] slaves and to female slaves and there not [will be] a buyer.
Seyè a va fè nou tounen nan peyi Lejip nan bato, atout se li menm ki te pwomèt nou pa t'ap janm tounen la ankò. N' aval vann tèt nou bay lènmi nou yo pou nou sèvi yo esklav, men pesonn p'ap vle achte nou.
