Deuteronomy 30
1 “I have now told you about the ways that Yahweh our God will bless you [if you obey him] and the ways that he will curse you [if you disobey him]. I am saying that you must choose which you want. But when [you choose not to obey his laws], some day you will be living in the countries to which he will scatter you, and you will remember [what I told you].
“Konsa li va ye lè tout bagay sa yo fin vini sou nou, benediksyon an avèk madichon an ke mwen te mete devan nou pou nou sonje yo nan tout nasyon kote SENYÈ a va egzile nou yo,
2 Then, if you return to Yahweh our God and faithfully [IDM] obey all that I have today commanded you to do,
epi ou retounen kote SENYÈ Bondye ou, pou obeyi vwa Li ak tout ke e tout nanm ou, selon tout sa ke M kòmande ou jodi a, ou menm anplis ak fis ou yo.
3 he will be merciful to you. He will bring you back from the nations to which he scattered you, and he will cause you to be prosperous again.
Konsa SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, va restore nou apre kaptivite sila a e Li va vin gen konpasyon sou nou. Li va ranmase nou ankò sòti nan tout pèp kote SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, te gaye nou yo.
4 Even if you have been scattered to the most distant places on the earth, Yahweh our God will gather you from there and bring you back [to your land].
Si moun egzil sa yo nan lòt pwent tè a, soti la, SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, va ranmase nou. Epi soti la, Li va mennen nou tounen.
5 He will enable you to possess again the land where your ancestors lived. And he will cause you to be more prosperous and more numerous than you are now.
SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, va mennen nou antre nan peyi ke zansèt nou yo te posede a. Nou va posede li, epi Li va fè nou pwospere e vin miltipliye plis ke zansèt nou yo.
6 Yahweh our God will change [MET] your inner beings, with the result that you will love him more than you love anything else and want to do only what he wants you to do. And then you will continue to live in that land.
Anplis, SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, va sikonsi kè nou ak kè desandan nou yo, pou renmen SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, avèk tout kè nou e avèk tout nanm nou, pou nou kapab viv.
7 Yahweh our God will cause your enemies and those who oppressed/persecuted you to experience all the disasters that I have told you about.
SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, va aflije lènmi nou yo avèk tout madichon sa yo ansanm ak sila ki rayi nou yo, ki te pèsekite nou yo.
8 You will do what Yahweh wants you to do, as you did before, and you will obey all the commands that I have given to you today.
Konsa, nou va ankò obeyi SENYÈ a e obsève tout kòmandman li yo ke Mwen te kòmande nou jodi a.
9 Yahweh our God will cause you to be very successful in all that you do. You will have many children [IDM], and a lot of cattle, and you will have abundant crops. He will again be happy to enable you to prosper, just like he was happy to enable your ancestors to prosper.
Epi SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, va fè nou vin pwospere anpil nan travay men nou, nan fwi zantray nou yo, nan pòtre a bèt nou yo ak nan pwodwi ki sòti nan tè yo; paske SENYÈ a va ankò rejwi de nou pou bonte nou, jis jan ke Li te rejwi de zansèt nou yo,
10 [But he will do those things only] if you do what he has told you to do, and if you obey all his rules and regulations that I have written about [in this scroll], and if you will love him more than you love anything else and want to do only what he wants you to do.
si nou obeyi SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, pou kenbe kòmandman Li yo ak lwa Li yo ki ekri nan liv lalwa sila a, si nou vire vè SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, avèk tout kè ak nanm nou.
11 The commands that I am giving to you today are not very difficult for you [to obey], and they are not [difficult to know].
“Paske kòmandman sila ke mwen bannou jodi a pa twò difisil pou nou, ni li pa twò wo pou nou pa rive kote l.
12 They are not in heaven, with the result that you need to say, ‘(Who will need to go up to heaven for us to bring them [down here to us] in order that we can hear them and obey them?/Someone will need to go up to heaven for us to bring them [down here to us] in order that we can hear them and obey them.)’ [RHQ]
Li pa nan syèl la, pou nou ta di: ‘Kilès ki va monte nan syèl la pou pran li pou nou e fè nou tande li, pou nou kapab swiv li?’
13 And they are not on the other side of the sea, with the result that you need to say, ‘(Who will need to cross the sea for us and bring them back to us, in order that we can hear them and obey them?/Someone will need to cross the sea for us and bring them back to us, in order that we can hear them and obey them.)’ [RHQ]
Ni li pa lòtbò lanmè a, pou nou ta di: ‘Kilès k ap travèse lanmè a, pou pran li pou nou e fè nou tande li, pou nou kapab swiv li.’
14 [You do not need to do that because] his commands are here with you. You know them [MTY] and you have (memorized them/put them in your minds). So you can [easily] obey them.
Men pawòl la toupre nou, nan bouch nou ak nan kè nou, pou nou kapab swiv li.
15 So listen! Today I am allowing you to choose between [doing what is] evil and [doing what is] good, between what will enable you to live [for a long time] and [what will cause you] to die [while you are still young].
Nou wè, jodi a Mwen te mete devan nou lavi avèk abondans, oswa lanmò avèk tout sa ki pa bon.
16 [I say again], if you obey the commands of Yahweh our God that I am giving to you today, and if you love him and conduct your lives as he wants you to do, and if you obey all his rules and regulations, you will prosper and become very numerous, and Yahweh our God will bless you in the land that you are about to enter and possess.
Nan tout sa mwen kòmande nou jodi a pou renmen SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, pou mache nan chemen Li yo, epi pou kenbe kòmandman Li yo avèk lwa Li yo ak jijman Li yo, pou nou kapab viv e miltipliye, e pou SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, kapab beni nou nan peyi kote nou ap antre pou posede a.
17 But if you turn away [from Yahweh] and refuse to heed what he says, and if you allow yourselves to be led away to worship other gods,
Men si kè nou detounen e nou refize obeyi, men nou mennen akote pou adore lòt dye yo e sèvi yo,
18 I am warning you today that you will [soon] die. You will not live for a long time in the land that you are about to cross the Jordan [River] to enter and possess.
Mwen deklare a nou jodi a ke nou va vrèman peri. Nou p ap pwolonje jou nou yo nan peyi kote nou ap travèse Jourdain an pou antre posede a.
19 I am requesting that [everyone in] heaven and the earth testify to you, that today I am allowing you to choose whether you [want to] live for a long time or to soon die, whether [you want Yahweh to] bless you or to curse you. So choose to live.
Mwen rele syèl la avèk tè a pou fè temwayaj kont nou jodi a, ke mwen te mete devan nou lavi avèk lanmò, benediksyon avèk malediksyon. Pou sa, chwazi lavi pou nou kapab viv, nou menm avèk desandan nou yo,
20 [Choose to] love Yahweh our God, and to obey him [MTY], and to (be faithful to/have a close relationship with) him. If you do that, you and your descendants will live for a long time in the land that Yahweh solemnly promised to your ancestors Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, that he would give to them.”
nan renmen SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an ak nan obeyisans a vwa Li ak nan kenbe fèm a Li. Paske sa se lavi nou ak pwolongasyon a jou nou yo, pou nou kapab viv nan peyi ke SENYÈ a te sèmante a zansèt nou yo; a Abraham, Isaac e a Jacob, pou bay yo a.”
