< Deuteronomy 8 >
1 All the commandment which I [am] commanding you this day you will take care! to observe so that you may live! and you will increase and you will go and you will take possession of the land which he swore Yahweh to ancestors your.
Se pou nou swiv pwen pa pwen tout kòmandman m'ap ban nou jòdi a pou nou ka viv, pou nou ka gen anpil pitit, pou nou ka mache pran peyi mwen te fè sèman m'ap bay zansèt nou yo.
2 And you will remember all the way which he led you Yahweh God your this forty year[s] in the wilderness so as to humble you to put to [the] test you to know [that] which [was] in heart your ¿ will you keep (commandments his *Q(K)*) or? not.
Chonje tout chemen Seyè a, Bondye nou an, te fè nou pran nan dezè a pandan karantan pou l' te ka kraze lògèy nou, pou l' te ka sonde nou, pou l' te ka konnen sa ki nan kè nou, si tout bon vre nou te soti pou kenbe kòmandman l' yo.
3 And he humbled you and he caused to hunger you and he caused to eat you (*L(abh)*) the manna which not you had known and not they had known! ancestors your so as to make know you that not on the bread by only it he lives humankind for on every utterance of [the] mouth of Yahweh he lives humankind.
Li kraze lògèy nou, li fè nou soufri grangou. Apre sa, li ba nou laman pou nou manje, yon kalite manje ni nou menm ni zansèt nou yo pa t' janm konnen. Li fè tou sa pou li te fè nou konnen se pa pen ase moun bezwen pou yo viv. Yo bezwen tout pawòl ki soti nan bouch Seyè a tou pou yo viv.
4 Clothing your not it wore out from on you and foot your not it swelled this forty year[s].
Pandan tout karantan sa yo, rad sou nou pa janm fini, pye nou yo pa janm fè yon ti anfle.
5 And you will know with heart your that just as he disciplines everyone child his Yahweh God your [is] disciplining you.
Se pou nou manyè konprann koulye a, Seyè a, Bondye nou an, t'ap mete nou sou lòd tankou yon papa k'ap mete pitit li sou lòd.
6 And you will keep [the] commandments of Yahweh God your by walking in ways his and by fearing him.
Se poutèt sa, toujou kenbe tout lòd Seyè a, Bondye nou an, ban nou pou nou ka mennen bak nou dwat nan chemen li mete devan nou yo, lèfini pou nou toujou gen krentif pou li.
7 For Yahweh God your [will] bring you into a land good a land of torrents of water springs and deeps [which] go forth in the valley and on the mountain.
Men, Seyè a, Bondye nou an, ap mennen nou nan yon bèl peyi, yon peyi kote ki gen anpil rivyè, anpil sous dlo, anpil dlo anba tè k'ap pete nan fon yo ak sou flan mòn yo,
8 A land of wheat and barley and vine and fig tree and pomegranate a land of olive tree of oil and honey.
yon peyi kote ki gen ble, lòj, rezen, pye fig frans, grenad, oliv ak siwo myèl,
9 A land which not in scarcity you will eat in it food not you will lack anything in it a land which stones its [are] iron and from hills its you will dig copper.
yon peyi kote nou p'ap janm manke manje, kote nou va jwenn tou sa nou vle. Plen fè nan mitan wòch li yo. N'a jwenn kwiv nan mòn li yo.
10 And you will eat and you will be satisfied and you will bless Yahweh God your on the land good which he has given to you.
Men, lè n'a fin manje plen vant nou, n'a fè lwanj Seyè a, Bondye nou an, pou bon peyi li te ban nou an.
11 Take heed to yourself lest you should forget Yahweh God your to not to keep commandments his and judgments his and statutes his which I [am] commanding you this day.
Veye kò nou pou nou pa janm bliye Seyè a, Bondye nou an, pou nou pa janm neglije kòmandman, lòd ak prensip m'ap ban nou jòdi a.
12 Lest you should eat and you will be satisfied and houses good you will build and you will dwell.
Lè n'a fin manje plen vant nou, lè n'a fin bati bèl kay pou nou rete,
13 And herd your and flock your they will increase! and silver and gold it will increase of you and all that [belongs] to you it will increase.
lè n'a wè bèf nou yo, kabrit nou yo ak mouton nou yo ap peple, lè n'a wè n'a gen lò ak ajan an kantite, lè n'a wè tout byen nou yo ap vin pi plis chak jou,
14 And it will be lifted up heart your and you will forget Yahweh God your who brought out you from [the] land of Egypt from a house of slaves.
pa kite lògèy vire tèt nou pou nou bliye Seyè a, Bondye nou an, ki te fè nou soti kite peyi Lejip kote yo te fè nou tounen esklav la.
15 Who led you in the wilderness - great and awesome snake - fiery and scorpion and thirsty ground where there not [was] water who brought forth for you water from [the] rock of flint.
Se li menm ki te pran men nou pou fè nou travèse gwo dezè plen danje a, kote ki gen eskòpyon ak sèpan ki gen move pwazon nan bouch yo, kote moun ap mouri swaf dlo paske pa gen dlo la menm. Men, se li menm ki te fè dlo soti nan gwo wòch di a pou nou.
16 Who caused to eat you manna in the wilderness which not they had known! ancestors your so as to humble you and so as to put to [the] test you to do good to you in end your.
Nan dezè a se li menm ki te ban nou manje laman, yon kalite manje zansèt nou yo pa t' janm konnen. Li kraze lògèy nou, li sonde nou pou nou te ka gen kè kontan pi devan.
17 And you will say in heart your strength my and [the] might of hand my it has acquired for me the wealth this.
Pa janm mete nan tèt nou se kouraj nou ak fòs ponyèt nou ki fè nou gen tout richès sa yo.
18 And you will remember Yahweh God your that he [is] the [one who] gives to you strength to acquire wealth so as to carry out covenant his which he swore to ancestors your as the day this.
Chonje se Seyè a, Bondye nou an, ki te ban nou kouraj sa a. Se li menm ki te fè nou rive gen tout richès sa yo, paske li te kenbe kontra li te pase ak zansèt nou yo, epi l'ap kenbe l' jouk jòdi a.
19 And it will be certainly [if] you will forget Yahweh God your and you will walk after gods other and you will serve them and you will bow down to them I testify against you this day that certainly you will perish!
Si nou rive bliye Seyè a, Bondye nou an, pou n' al kouri dèyè lòt bondye, pou nou fè sèvis pou yo, pou n' adore yo, mwen tou avèti nou jòdi a, nou tout nou gen pou nou disparèt.
20 Like the nations which Yahweh [is] about to destroy from before you so you will perish! consequence not you will listen! to [the] voice of Yahweh God your.
Si nou pa koute sa Seyè a, Bondye nou an, di nou, nou pral disparèt menm jan ak nasyon Bondye pral disparèt devan nou yo.
