Deuteronomy 8
1 Be thou war diligentli, that thou do ech comaundement which Y comaunde to thee to dai, that ye moun lyue, and be multiplied, and that ye entre, and welde the lond, for which the Lord swoor to youre fadris.
“Tout kòmandman ke Mwen ap kòmande nou jodi a, nou va fè atansyon pou fè yo, pou nou kapab viv, miltipliye, e antre ladann pou posede peyi ke SENYÈ a te sèmante a zansèt nou yo.
2 And thou schalt haue mynde of al the weie, bi which thi Lord God ledde thee by fourti yeer, bi deseert, that he schulde turmente, and schulde tempte thee; and that tho thingis that weren tretid in `thi soule schulden be knowun, whether thou woldist kepe hise comaundementis, ethir nay.
“Nou va sonje tout jan ke SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, te mennen nou nan dezè a pandan karantan sila yo, pou Li te kapab fè nou vin enb e pase nou a leprèv, pou konnen kisa ki te nan kè nou, pou wè si nou pa tap kenbe kòmandman Li yo.
3 And he turmentide thee with nedynesse, and he yaf to thee meete, manna which thou knewist not, and thi fadris `knewen not, that he schulde schewe to thee, that a man lyueth not in breed aloone, but in ech word that cometh `out of the Lordis mouth, `that is, bi manna, that cam down `at the heest of the Lord.
“Li te fè nou vin enb e grangou. Epi konsa, Li te bannou manje lamàn ke nou pa t janm konnen, ni zansèt nou yo pa t konnen, pou Li te kapab fè nou konprann ke lòm pa viv sèlman pa pen, men lòm viv pa tout bagay ki sòti nan bouch SENYÈ a.
4 Thi cloth, bi which thou were hilid, failide not for eldnesse, and thi foot was not brokun undernethe, lo!
Rad nou yo pa t epwize sou nou, ni pye nou pa t anfle pandan karantan sila yo.
5 the fourtith yeer is; that thou thenke in thin herte, for as a man techith his sone,
Konsa, nou fèt pou konnen nan kè nou, ke SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, t ap korije nou jis jan ke yon mesye korije fis li.
6 so thi Lord God tauyte thee, that thou kepe the comaundementis of thi Lord God, and go in hise weies, and drede hym.
“Pou sa, nou va kenbe kòmandman a SENYÈ yo, Bondye nou an, pou mache nan chemen Li an, e pou krent Li.
7 For thi Lord God schal lede thee in to a good lond, in to the lond of ryueris, and of `stondynge watris, and of wellis, in whos feeldis and mounteyns the depthis of floodis breken out;
Paske SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, ap mennen nou antre nan yon bon peyi, yon peyi ki gen anpil ti rivyè ak sous dlo; sous k ap koule, k ap kouri nan vale ak ti mòn yo;
8 in to the lond of wheete, of barli, and of vyneris, in which lond fige trees, and pumgranadis, and `olyue trees comen forth; in to the lond of oile, and of hony;
yon peyi avèk ble ak lòj, avèk pye rezen, pye fig, avèk grenad, yon peyi avèk lwil doliv ak siwo myèl;
9 where thow schalt ete thi breed with out nedynesse, and schalt vse the aboundaunce of alle thingis; of which lond the stonys ben yrun, and metals of tyn ben diggid of the hillis therof;
yon peyi kote nou va manje manje san manke. Ladann l nou p ap manke anyen; yon peyi kote wòch se fè; epi kote nan ti mòn yo, nou kab fouye kwiv.
10 that whanne thou hast ete, and art fillid, thou blesse thi Lord God for the beste lond which he yaf to thee.
“Lè nou fin manje e satisfè, nou va beni SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, pou bon peyi ke Li te bannou an.
11 Therfor kepe thou, and be war, lest ony tyme thou foryete thi Lord God, and dispise hise comaundementis, and domes, and cerymonyes, whiche Y comaunde to thee to dai;
Veye pou nou pa bliye SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, epi pa kenbe kòmandman Li yo, lwa Li yo avèk règleman Li yo ke Mwen ap kòmande nou jodi a.
12 lest aftir that thou hast ete, and art fillid, hast bildid faire housis, and hast dwellid in tho,
Otreman, lè nou te manje e satisfè, e fin bati bon kay pou nou viv nan yo,
13 and hast droues of oxun, and flockis of scheep, and plente of siluer, and of gold, and of alle thingis, thine herte be reisid,
epi lè twoupo nou avèk bann mouton nou yo vin miltipliye, ajan avèk lò nou yo vin anpil, e tout sa nou posede vin miltipliye,
14 and thenke not on thi Lord God, that ledde thee out of the lond of Egipt, and fro the hous of seruage,
alò, kè nou va vin plen ak ògèy, e nou va bliye SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, ki te mennen nou sòti nan peyi Égypte la, andeyò kay esklavaj la.
15 and was thi ledere in the greet wildirnesse and ferdful, in which was a serpent brenninge with blast, and scorpioun, and dipsas, and outirli no `watris; which Lord ledde out stremes of the hardeste stoon,
Li te mennen nou nan gran dezè tèrib sa a, avèk sèpan pwazon ak eskòpyon, ak tè swaf kote ki pa t gen dlo. Li te fè dlo sòti pou nou nan wòch silèks la.
16 and fedde thee with manna in the wildirnesse, which manna thi fadris knewen not. And after that the Lord turmentid thee, and preuede, at the last he hadd mersi on thee,
Nan dezè a, Li te bannou lamàn ke zansèt nou yo pa t konnen, pou Li te kapab fè nou vin enb, e pou Li te kapab fè nou pase a leprèv, pouke alafen, sa te kab ale byen pou nou.
17 lest thou woldist seie in thin herte, My strengthe, and the myyt of myn hond yaf alle these thingis to me.
Otreman, nou ta di nan kè nou: “Se fòs nou avèk kouraj nou ki te bannou tout richès sa a.”
18 But thenke thou on thi Lord God, that he yaf strengthis to thee, that he schulde fille his couenaunt, of whiche he swoor to thi fadris, as present dai schewith.
Men nou va sonje SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, paske se Li ki ap bannou pouvwa pou fè richès, pou Li kapab konfime akò ke Li te sèmante a zansèt nou yo, jan sa ye jodi a.
19 Forsothe if thou foryetist thi Lord God, and suest aliene goddis, and worschipist hem `in herte, and onourist `with outforth, lo! now Y biforseie to thee, that thou schalt perische outerli;
Li va rive ke si nou bliye SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, pou swiv lòt dye yo pou adore yo, Mwen ap fè temwayaj kont nou jodi a menm, ke anverite nou va peri.
20 as hethen men perischiden, whiche the Lord dide awei in thin entryng, so and ye schulen perische, if ye schulen be vnobedient to the vois of youre Lord God.
Jan nasyon ke SENYÈ a ap fè peri devan nou yo, konsa nou va peri, akoz ke nou pa t koute vwa a SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an.”
