Deuteronomy 6
1 'And this [is] the command, the statutes and the judgments which Jehovah your God hath commanded to teach you, to do in the land which ye are passing over thither to possess it,
Koulye a, men kòmandman, lòd ak prensip Seyè a, Bondye nou an, te mande pou yo moutre nou, pou nou te ka swiv yo nan peyi kote nou pral antre pou nou pran pou nou an.
2 so that thou dost fear Jehovah thy God, to keep all His statutes and His commands, which I am commanding thee, thou, and thy son, and thy son's son, all days of thy life, and so that thy days are prolonged.
Konsa, ni nou menm, ni pitit nou yo, ni pitit pitit nou yo, n'a gen krentif pou Seyè a, Bondye nou an, n'a kenbe tout lòd ak tout kòmandman li ban nou yo, chak jou nan lavi nou. Se konsa n'a viv lontan.
3 'And thou hast heard, O Israel, and observed to do, that it may be well with thee, and that thou mayest multiply exceedingly, as Jehovah, God of thy fathers, hath spoken to thee, [in] the land flowing with milk and honey.
Koute byen sa m'ap di nou, nou menm pèp Izrayèl! Pa bliye yo. Fè tou sa mwen di nou fè. Se sa ki va fè nou viv ak kè kontan. Se sa ki va fè nou tounen yon gran nasyon nan bon peyi sa a, kote lèt ak siwo myèl ap koule tankou dlo, jan Seyè a, Bondye zansèt nou yo, te di l' la.
4 'Hear, O Israel, Jehovah our God [is] one Jehovah;
Koute byen, nou menm pep Izrayèl! Seyè a, Bondye nou an, se li ki sèl mèt.
5 and thou hast loved Jehovah thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might,
Se pou nou renmen Seyè a, Bondye nou an, avèk tout kè nou, avèk tout nanm nou, avèk tout fòs kouraj nou.
6 and these words which I am commanding thee to-day have been on thine heart,
Pa janm bliye kòmandman m'ap ban nou jòdi a.
7 and thou hast repeated them to thy sons, and spoken of them in thy sitting in thine house, and in thy walking in the way, and in thy lying down, and in thy rising up,
N'a moutre yo bay pitit nou yo. N'a repete yo nan zòrèy yo, kit nou chita lakay nou, kit n'ap mache sou granchemen, kit nou kouche nan kabann nou, kit nou kanpe ap travay.
8 and hast bound them for a sign upon thy hand, and they have been for frontlets between thine eyes,
Mare yo sou ponyèt nou ak sou fwon nou pou nou sa pa janm bliye yo.
9 and thou hast written them on door-posts of thy house, and on thy gates.
N'a ekri yo sou chanbrann pòt lakay nou ak sou pòtay lavil nou yo.
10 'And it hath been, when Jehovah thy God doth bring thee in unto the land which He hath sworn to thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give to thee — cities great and good, which thou hast not built,
Seyè a pral kenbe pwomès li te fè Abraram, Izarak ak Jakòb, zansèt nou yo, li pral fè nou antre nan peyi li te fè sèman l'ap ban nou an. Se yon peyi kote n'a jwenn gwo bèl lavil nou pa t' bati,
11 and houses full of all good things which thou hast not filled, and wells digged which thou hast not digged, vineyards and olive-yards which thou hast not planted, and thou hast eaten, and been satisfied;
kote n'a jwenn kay plen bon bagay san se pa nou menm ki te mete yo la, avèk pi byen fon nou pa t' fouye, avèk jaden rezen ak jaden oliv nou pa t' plante. Lè sa a, lè n'a fin manje plen vant nou,
12 'Take heed to thyself lest thou forget Jehovah who hath brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of a house of servants;
fè atansyon pou nou pa bliye Seyè a, li menm ki te fè nou soti kite peyi Lejip kote nou te esklav la.
13 Jehovah thy God thou dost fear, and Him thou dost serve, and by His name thou dost swear;
Se pou Seyè a, Bondye nou an, ase pou nou gen krentif. Se li menm ase pou nou sèvi. Se non li sèlman pou nou pran pou fè sèman.
14 ye do not go after other gods, of the gods of the peoples who [are] round about you;
Pa kouri dèyè lòt bondye. Piga n' al sèvi bondye pèp k'ap viv toupre nou yo.
15 for a zealous God [is] Jehovah thy God in thy midst — lest the anger of Jehovah thy God burn against thee, and He hath destroyed thee from off the face of the ground.
Paske Seyè a, Bondye ki rete nan mitan nou an, se yon Bondye ki fè jalouzi anpil. Si nou fè sa, l'a fache sou nou, l'a disparèt nou nèt sou latè.
16 'Ye do not try Jehovah your God as ye tried in Massah;
Piga nou sonde Seyè a, Bondye nou an, jan nou te fè l' bò Masa a.
17 ye do diligently keep the commands of Jehovah your God, and His testimonies, and His statutes which He hath commanded thee,
Se pou nou kenbe tout kòmandman Seyè a ansanm ak tout lòd ak tout prensip li ban nou pou nou swiv.
18 and thou hast done that which is right and good in the eyes of Jehovah, so that it is well with thee, and thou hast gone in and possessed the good land which Jehovah hath sworn to thy fathers,
N'a fè sa ki dwat ak sa ki byen nan je Bondye pou nou ka gen kè kontan, pou nou ka pran bèl peyi Seyè a te fè sèman l'ap bay zansèt nou yo,
19 to drive away all thine enemies from thy presence, as Jehovah hath spoken.
pou nou ka chase tout lènmi nou yo devan nou, jan li te pwomèt la.
20 'When thy son asketh thee hereafter, saying, What [are] the testimonies, and the statutes, and the judgments, which Jehovah our God hath commanded you?
Yon jou, lè pitit nou yo va mande nou poukisa Seyè a, Bondye nou an, mande nou pou nou swiv tout lòd, tout prensip ak tout kòmandman sa yo,
21 then thou hast said to thy son, Servants we have been to Pharaoh in Egypt, and Jehovah bringeth us out of Egypt by a high hand;
lè sa a, n'a di yo: Nou te esklav farawon an nan peyi Lejip. Seyè a te fè nou soti kite peyi Lejip la avèk fòs ponyèt li.
22 and Jehovah giveth signs and wonders, great and sad, on Egypt, on Pharaoh, and on all his house, before our eyes;
Nou te wè ak je nou tout mèvèy ak tout mirak li te fè pou kraze peyi Lejip, ansanm ak farawon an ak tout moun pa l' yo.
23 and us He hath brought out thence, in order to bring us in, to give to us the land which He had sworn to our fathers.
Men nou menm, li fè nou soti kote nou te ye a, li mennen nou nan peyi li te pwomèt zansèt nou yo, epi li ban nou li.
24 And Jehovah commandeth us to do all these statutes, to fear Jehovah our God, for good to ourselves all the days, to keep us alive, as [at] this day;
Apre sa, Seyè a, Bondye nou an, te pase nou lòd pou nou kenbe tout prensip sa yo. Konsa, n'a gen krentif pou li, n'a viv ak kè kontan, epi l'a konsève lavi nou jan li fè sa pou nou jouk koulye a.
25 and righteousness it is for us, when we observe to do all this command before Jehovah our God, as He hath commanded us.
Si nou vle fè Bondye plezi, se pou nou fè atansyon pou nou swiv tout kòmandman sa yo nèt, se pou nou mache devan Seyè a, Bondye nou an, jan li te mande nou an.
