Deuteronomy 27
1 Moses/I, along with the other Israeli leaders, said this to the people: “Obey all the commandments that I am giving to you today.
Epi Moïse avèk ansyen Israël yo te bay lòd a pèp la. Li te di: “Kenbe tout kòmandman mwen kòmande nou jodi a yo.
2 [Soon] you will cross the Jordan [River] and enter the land that Yahweh, the God whom our ancestors [worshiped], promised to give to you. There, in that very fertile [IDM] land on the [west] side of the Jordan [River], set up some large stones [on Ebal Mountain], and cover them with plaster. Then write on those stones all these laws and teachings/instructions.
Se konsa sa va ye nan jou ke nou travèse Jourdain an pou rive nan peyi ke SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, ap bannou an, pou nou fè kanpe pou nou menm gwo wòch e kouvri yo avèk mòtye lacho.
Nou va ekri sou yo tout pawòl a lwa sa yo, lè nou travèse, jis pou nou kapab antre nan peyi ke SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, bannou an, yon peyi ki koule avèk lèt ak siwo myèl, jan SENYÈ a, Bondye a zansèt nou yo, te pwomèt nou an.
“Se konsa sa va ye pou nou lè nou travèse Jourdain an. Nou va fè kanpe sou mòn Ébal wòch sa yo, jan mwen ap kòmande nou jodi a, epi nou va kouvri yo avèk lacho.
5 And build a stone altar there to offer sacrifices to Yahweh, but do not cut those stones with iron tools.
Anplis, nou va bati la, yon lotèl a SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, yon lotèl avèk wòch. Nou p ap voye yon zouti fè sou yo.
6 The altar that you make to burn sacrifices to Yahweh our God must be made with uncut stones.
Nou va bati lotèl SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, avèk wòch ki pa taye. Konsa, nou va ofri sou li ofrann brile a SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an.
7 And there you must sacrifice offerings to maintain fellowship with Yahweh, and you must eat [your share of those offerings] and rejoice/celebrate in the presence of Yahweh.
Nou va fè sakrifis ofrann lapè yo, e nou va manje la. Konsa, nou va rejwi nou devan SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an.
8 And, when you write these laws on those stones, you must write them very clearly.”
Nou va ekri sou wòch yo tout pawòl a lwa sila yo, byen klè.”
9 Then Moses/I, along with the priests, said to all the Israeli people, “You Israeli people, be quiet and listen [to what I am saying]. Today you have become the people who belong to Yahweh, our God.
Moïse avèk prèt Levit yo te pale avèk tout Israël. Yo te di: “Fè silans O Israël! Nan jou sa a menm, nou devni yon pèp pou SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an.
10 So, you must do what he tells you, and obey all the rules and regulations that I am giving to you today.”
Pou sa, nou va obeyi SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, e nou va fè kòmandman Li yo avèk règleman Li yo ke mwen te kòmande nou jodi a.”
11 On that same day Moses/I said to the Israeli people,
Moïse te osi bay lòd a pèp la nan jou sa a. Li te di:
12 “After you have crossed over the Jordan [River], the tribes of Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, Joseph, and Benjamin must stand on Gerizim Mountain and [request Yahweh to] bless the people.
“Lè nou travèse Jourdain an, men sila ki va kanpe sou Mòn Garizim pou beni pèp la: Siméon, Lévi, Juda, Issacar, Joseph avèk Benjamin.
13 And the tribes of Reuben, Gad, Asher, Zebulun, Dan, and Naphtali must stand on Ebal Mountain and listen to the things that Yahweh will do when he curses the people.
Pou pwononse malediksyon yo, sila yo va kanpe sou Mòn Ébal: Ruben, Gad, Aser, Zabulon, Dan ak Nephtali.”
14 The descendants of Levi must shout these words loudly:
“Levit yo va, alò, reponn e di a tout pèp Israël la avèk yon gran vwa:
15 ‘Yahweh will curse anyone who makes an idol of stone, or of wood, or of metal, and secretly sets it up [and worships it]. Yahweh considers that those things, made by humans [SYN], are detestable/disgusting.’ And all the people must reply, ‘(Amen/We want that to happen).’
‘Modi se mesye ki fè yon zidòl oswa yon imaj ki fonn, yon bagay abominab a SENYÈ a, zèv a yon ouvriye, e ki monte li an sekrè.’ Epi tout pèp la va reponn pou di: ‘Amen’.
16 ‘Yahweh will curse anyone who dishonors his father or his mother.’ And all the people must reply, ‘(Amen/We want that to happen).’
‘Modi se sila ki dezonore papa l oswa manman l.’ Epi tout pèp la va di: ‘Amen’.
17 ‘Yahweh will curse anyone who removes someone else’s markers of property boundaries.’ And all the people must reply, ‘(Amen/We want that to happen).’
‘Modi se sila ki deplase limit lizyè vwazen li.’ Epi tout pèp la va di: ‘Amen’.
18 ‘Yahweh will curse anyone who leads a blind person to go (in the wrong direction/where that person does not want to go).’ And all the people must reply, ‘(Amen/We want that to happen).’
‘Modi se sila ki mal gide yon avèg sou wout la.’ Epi tout pèp la va di: ‘Amen’.
19 ‘Yahweh will curse anyone who deprives foreigners or orphans or widows of the things that the laws state must be done for them.’ And all the people must reply, ‘(Amen/We want that to happen).’
‘Modi se sila ki tòde lajistis pou yon etranje, òfelen, oswa vèv.’ Epi tout pèp la va di: ‘Amen’.
20 ‘Yahweh will curse anyone who (shows no respect for/disgraces his father) by having sex with [EUP] any of his father’s wives.’ And all the people must reply, ‘(Amen/We want that to happen).’
‘Modi se sila ki kouche avèk madanm a papa li, akoz li te dekouvri jip papa l.’ Epi tout pèp la va di: ‘Amen’.
21 ‘Yahweh will curse anyone who has sex [EUP] with any animal.’ And all the people must reply, ‘(Amen/We want that to happen).’
‘Modi se sila ki kouche avèk nenpòt bèt.’ Epi tout pèp la va di: ‘Amen’.
22 ‘Yahweh will curse anyone who has sex with his sister or with his half-sister.’ And all the people must reply, ‘(Amen/We want that to happen).’
‘Modi se sila ki kouche avèk sè li, fi a papa li, oswa a manman li.’ Epi tout pèp la va di: ‘Amen.’
23 ‘Yahweh will curse anyone who has sex with [EUP] his mother-in-law.’ And all the people must reply, ‘(Amen/We want that to happen).’
‘Modi se sila ki kouche avèk bèlmè li.’ Epi tout pèp la va di: ‘Amen.’
24 ‘Yahweh will curse anyone who secretly murders someone else.’ And all the people must reply, ‘(Amen/We want that to happen).’
‘Modi se sila ki frape vwazen li an sekrè.’ Epi tout pèp la va di: ‘Amen’.
25 ‘Yahweh will curse anyone who accepts a bribe to murder someone who (is innocent/has not done something that is wrong.)’ And all the people must reply, ‘(Amen/We want that to happen).’
‘Modi se sila ki aksepte lajan pou asasine yon moun inosan.’ Epi tout pèp la va di: ‘Amen’.
26 ‘Yahweh will curse anyone who disobeys these laws and refuses to declare that these laws [are good].’ And all the people must reply, ‘(Amen/We want that to happen).’”
‘Modi se sila ki pa konfime pawòl a lwa sa yo avèk aksyon li’. Epi tout pèp la va di: ‘Amen.’”
