Deuteronomy 10
1 “Then Yahweh said to me, ‘Cut two stone tablets like the first ones. And make a wooden chest to put them in. Then [bring the tablets] up to me on this mountain.
Apre sa, Seyè a te di m': Taye de wòch plat tankou de premye yo. Fè yon bwat an bwa, mete yo ladan l'. Moute vin jwenn mwen sou mòn lan.
2 I will write on those tablets the same words that I wrote on the first tablets, the ones that you broke. Then you can put them in the chest.’
Mwen pral ekri sou wòch yo tou sa mwen te ekri sou wòch plat ou te kraze yo. Lèfini, w'a mete yo nan bwat la.
3 “So I made a chest. I used wood from an acacia tree to make it. Then I cut two tablets of stone like the first ones, and I went up the mountain carrying the tablets.
Se konsa, mwen fè yon bwat an bwa zakasya, mwen taye de wòch plat tankou de premye yo, epi mwen moute sou mòn lan ak wòch yo nan men m'.
4 There Yahweh wrote on the tablets the [same] Ten Commandments [that he had written on the first tablet]. They are the commandments that he told to your ancestors from the middle of the fire on the mountain, when they were gathered [at the bottom of the mountain]. Then Yahweh gave the tablets to me,
Seyè a make sou wòch yo dis pawòl li te ekri premye fwa a, dis kòmandman Seyè a te ban nou antan li te nan mitan dife a, jou nou tout nou te reyini nan pye mòn lan. Apre sa li ban mwen yo.
5 and I turned and went down the mountain. Then, just as he had commanded, I put them in the chest that I had made. And they are still there.”
Mwen desann soti nan mòn lan. Mwen mete wòch plat yo nan bwat mwen te fè a, jan Seyè a te ban mwen lòd la, epi se la yo rete depi lè sa a.
6 (Then, from the wells that belonged to the people of Jaakan, the Israeli people traveled to Moserah. There Aaron died and was buried, and his son Eleazar took his place and became the Supreme Priest.
Moun pèp Izrayèl yo kite pi Benèy-Jakan yo, yo pati pou Mosera. Se la Arawon te mouri. Se la tou yo antere l'. Se Eleaza, pitit li a, yo te mete prèt nan plas li.
7 From there, the Israelis traveled to Gudgodah, and from there to Jotbathah, which was a place that had many streams.
Yo kite kote yo te ye a, yo pati pou Goud Goda, epi yo rive Jobata, yon kote ki te gen anpil dlo.
8 At that time, Yahweh (set apart/appointed) the tribe of Levi to carry the chest that contained [the tablets on which were written] the Ten Commandments, and to stand in Yahweh’s presence [in the sacred tent], to offer sacrifices, and to pray for Yahweh to bless [the people. They are still doing those things] at the present time.
Se lè sa a Seyè a te mete moun branch fanmi Levi yo apa pou yo reskonsab pote Bwat Kontra Seyè a, pou yo ka kanpe devan l' fè sèvis pou li, pou yo ka beni pèp la nan non l', jan y'ap fè l' jouk koulye a.
9 That is the reason that the tribe of Levi did not receive any land like the other tribes did. What they received was the work/privilege of being Yahweh’s [priests], which is what he said that they should do.)
Se poutèt sa, moun branch fanmi Levi yo pa t' resevwa ankenn pòsyon tè pou rele yo pa yo menm jan ak moun lòt branch fanmi yo paske se Seyè a ki tout byen yo, jan Seyè a, Bondye nou an, te di l' la.
10 “I stayed on the mountain 40 days and nights, just like I did the first time. [I prayed to] Yahweh, and he (answered my prayers/did what I requested) again and said that he would not destroy your ancestors.
Mwen menm, mwen rete karant jou, karant nwit sou mòn lan, jan mwen te fè l' premye fwa a. Fwa sa a ankò, Seyè a koute m', li te dakò pou l' pa detwi nou.
11 Then Yahweh said to me, ‘Continue your journey, going in front of the people, to occupy the land that I vowed your ancestors that I would give to you.’”
Lè sa a, li di m' konsa: Leve non. Pati, pran devan pèp la. Mennen yo al pran pou yo peyi mwen te sèmante m'ap bay zansèt yo a.
12 “Now, you Israeli people, [I will tell you] [RHQ] what Yahweh our God requires/demands that you do. He requires you to revere him, to conduct your lives as he wants you to, to love him, and to serve him wholeheartedly [DOU],
Koulye a, nou menm pèp Izrayèl, men sa Seyè a, Bondye nou an, mande nou: Se pou nou gen krentif pou Seyè a, Bondye nou an. Se pou nou swiv chemen li mete devan nou an. Se pou nou renmen l'. Se pou nou sèvi l' ak tout kè nou ak tout nanm nou.
13 and to obey all of his commandments [DOU] which I am giving to you today for your benefit.
Se pou nou mache dapre tout kòmandman ak tout lòd li yo. Se pou byen nou mwen ban nou yo jòdi a.
14 “Do not forget that Yahweh our God owns even the sky and everything that is in it. He also owns the earth and everything that is on it.
Gade non! Se pou Seyè a syèl la ak tou sa ki anwo nèt nan syèl la ye. Se pou li latè ak tou sa ki ladan l' lan ye.
15 But [in spite of owning all those things], Yahweh loved your ancestors, and from all the people-groups [on the earth] he chose us, their descendants, and we are still his people.
Men, pami tout ras moun ki sou latè yo, se zansèt nou yo li te pi pito, paske li te renmen yo. Apre yo, se nou menm, pitit yo, li pi pito nan mitan tout lòt ras moun, jan sa ye jouk koulye a.
16 So you must stop sinning [MET] and stop being stubborn [IDM]!
Se poutèt sa, louvri kè nou nèt bay Seyè a. Sispann fè wòklò ak li,
17 Yahweh our God is greater than all gods, and he is greater than all rulers. He is very powerful [DOU] and awesome. He (is impartial/does not do things that favor one (group/person) more than others), and he does not accept bribes.
paske Seyè a, Bondye nou an, se li menm ki Bondye anwo tout bondye, se li menm ki chèf sou tout chèf. Li gen pouvwa, li gen fòs, li fè moun respekte l'. Li pa nan paspouki, li pa kite yo achte figi l' avèk kado y'ap ofri ba li.
18 He makes sure that orphans and widows are treated fairly. He loves even (foreigners/people from other countries) who live among us Israeli people, and he gives them food and clothes.
L'ap defann kòz timoun ki san papa yo ak kòz fanm ki pèdi mari yo. Li renmen moun lòt nasyon k'ap viv nan mitan pèp li a, li ba yo manje pou yo manje ak rad pou yo mete sou yo.
19 So you must love those foreigners too, because you were once foreigners when you were living in Egypt.
Se pou nou renmen moun lòt nasyon sa yo tou paske yon lè se sa nou te ye nan peyi Lejip la.
20 Revere Yahweh our God and worship only him. (Be faithful to/Have a close relationship with) him, and say that he should punish you if you do not do what you promise.
Se pou Seyè a, Bondye nou an, ase pou nou gen krentif. Se li menm sèlman pou nou sèvi. Pa janm lage l'. Se nan non l' ase pou nou fè sèman.
21 He is the one whom you must praise. He is our God, and we have seen the great and amazing things that he has done for us.
N'a fè lwanj li, se li menm ki Bondye nou. Nou te wè ak je nou tout gwo bagay ak bèl mèvèy li te fè pou nou.
22 When our ancestors, [Jacob and his family], went down to Egypt, there were only seventy of them. But now Yahweh our God has caused us to be as numerous as the stars in the sky.”
Lè zansèt nou yo te desann nan peyi Lejip, yo te swasanndis moun sèlman. Koulye a, Seyè a, Bondye nou an, fè nou vin anpil tankou zetwal nan syèl la.
