Deuteronomy 7
1 'When Jehovah thy God doth bring thee in unto the land whither thou art going in to possess it, and He hath cast out many nations from thy presence, the Hittite, and the Girgashite, and the Amorite, and the Canaanite, and the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite, seven nations more numerous and mighty than thou,
Seyè a, Bondye nou an, pral fè nou antre nan peyi nou pral pran pou nou an. Li pral fè sèt nasyon ki gen plis moun pase nou, ki pi fò pase nou, kouri met deyò devan nou, ki vle di moun Et yo, moun Gigach yo, moun Amori yo, moun Kanaran yo, moun Perèz yo, moun Evi yo ak moun Jebis yo.
2 and Jehovah thy God hath given them before thee, and thou hast smitten them — thou dost utterly devote them — thou dost not make with them a covenant, nor dost thou favour them.
Seyè a, Bondye nou an, pral lage yo nan men nou, nou pral bat yo. Lè sa a, se pou nou detwi yo nèt tankou yon ofrann pou Bondye nou an. Piga nou pase ankenn kontra ak yo. Piga nou gen pitye pou yo.
3 'And thou dost not join in marriage with them; thy daughter thou dost not give to his son, and his daughter thou dost not take to thy son,
Piga nou marye ak moun sa yo. Pa kite pitit fi nou marye ak pitit gason yo, ni pa kite pitit gason nou marye ak pitit fi yo.
4 for he doth turn aside thy son from after Me, and they have served other gods, and the anger of Jehovah hath burned against you, and hath destroyed thee hastily.
Paske y'a pran tèt pitit gason nou yo, y'a fè yo vire do ban mwen pou y' al sèvi lòt bondye. Si nou fè sa, Bondye va fache sou nou, l'a disparèt nou la pou la.
5 'But thus thou dost to them: their altars ye break down, and their standing pillars ye shiver, and their shrines ye cut down, and their graven images ye burn with fire;
Men sa pou n' fè yo: Demoli tout lòtèl yo, kraze tout estati yo, rache tout poto Achera yo, boule tout zidòl yo.
6 for a holy people [art] thou to Jehovah thy God; on thee hath Jehovah thy God fixed, to be to Him for a peculiar people, out of all the peoples who [are] on the face of the ground.
N'a fè sa paske se yon pèp k'ap viv apa pou Seyè a, Bondye nou an, nou ye. Se nou menm Seyè a, Bondye nou an, te chwazi nan tout pèp ki sou latè pou li fè nou tounen yon pèp ki rele l' pa l'.
7 'Not because of your being more numerous than any of the peoples hath Jehovah delighted in you, and fixeth on you, for ye [are] the least of all the peoples,
Si, nan tout pèp ki sou latè, se nou menm Seyè a te pi pito, si li te chwazi nou, se pa paske nou te gen plis moun nan pèp nou an pase lòt yo. Okontrè, se nou ki te gen pi piti moun.
8 but because of Jehovah's loving you, and because of His keeping the oath which He hath sworn to your fathers, hath Jehovah brought you out by a strong hand, and doth ransom you from a house of servants, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt.
Men, se paske Seyè a te renmen nou, epi li te vle kenbe pwomès li te fè zansèt nou yo. Se poutèt sa li delivre nou avèk fòs ponyèt li. Li fè nou soti kite peyi Lejip kote nou te tounen esklav la. Li wete nou anba pouvwa farawon an.
9 'And thou hast known that Jehovah thy God He [is] God, the faithful God, keeping the covenant, and the kindness, to those loving Him, and to those keeping His commands — to a thousand generations,
Se pou nou rekonèt Seyè a, Bondye nou an, se sèl Bondye ki genyen, sèl Bondye k'ap toujou kenbe pawòl li. Wi, l'ap toujou kenbe kontra li pase a. L'ap toujou renmen moun ki renmen l', moun ki fè tou sa l' mande yo fè, de pitit an pitit, pandan mil jenerasyon.
10 and repaying to those hating Him, unto their face, to destroy them; He delayeth not to him who is hating Him — unto his face, He repayeth to him —
Men, li p'ap manke pini moun ki rayi l'. Se moun sa yo menm l'ap touye, pa lòt moun ankò. Wi, li p'ap pran reta pou l' fè yo peye sa yo fè a.
11 and thou hast kept the command, and the statutes, and the judgments, which I am commanding thee to-day to do them.
Se poutèt sa, se pou nou swiv tout kòmandman, tout lòd ak tout prensip mwen mande nou jòdi a pou nou swiv.
12 'And it hath been, because ye hear these judgments, and have kept, and done them, that Jehovah thy God hath kept to thee the covenant and the kindness which He hath sworn to thy fathers,
Si nou koute tou sa mwen mande nou la a, si nou kenbe yo nan tèt nou, si nou swiv yo pwen pa pwen, Seyè a, Bondye nou an, va toujou kenbe kontra li te pase ak zansèt nou yo, l'ap toujou renmen nou jan li te fè sèman bay zansèt nou yo.
13 and hath loved thee, and blessed thee, and multiplied thee, and hath blessed the fruit of thy womb, and the fruit of thy ground, thy corn, and thy new wine, and thine oil, the increase of thine oxen, and the wealth of thy flock, on the ground which He hath sworn to thy fathers to give to thee.
L'a renmen nou, l'a beni nou, l'a fè nou peple. L'a ban nou anpil pitit. L'a voye benediksyon sou jaden nou, n'a gen anpil manje, anpil diven ak anpil lwil. Bèf nou yo va bay anpil pòte, mouton nou yo va fè anpil pitit. L'a fè tou sa pou nou nan peyi li te pwomèt zansèt nou yo l'ap ban nou an.
14 'Blessed art thou above all the peoples, there is not in thee a barren man or a barren woman — nor among your cattle;
Bondye ap beni nou plis pase tout lòt pèp yo. p'ap gen yon moun nan mitan nou, fanm kou gason, ki p'ap ka fè pitit. Konsa tou, p'ap gen yonn nan bèt nou yo, ni mal ni fenmèl, ki p'ap ka fè pitit.
15 and Jehovah hath turned aside from thee every sickness, and none of the evil diseases of Egypt (which thou hast known) doth He put on thee, and He hath put them on all hating thee.
Seyè a p'ap kite ankenn maladi tonbe sou nou. Li p'ap janm voye sou nou move epidemi nou te wè ki te tonbe sou moun peyi Lejip yo. L'ap kite sa pou tout moun ki pa vle wè nou yo.
16 'And thou hast consumed all the peoples whom Jehovah thy God is giving to thee; thine eye hath no pity on them, and thou dost not serve their gods, for a snare it [is] to thee.
Se pou nou disparèt tout pèp Seyè a, Bondye nou an, va lage nan men nou. Se pou nou san pitye pou yo. Piga nou fè sèvis pou bondye moun sa yo, paske sa ka fini mal pou nou.
17 'When thou sayest in thine heart, These nations [are] more numerous than I, how am I able to dispossess them? —
Si nou ta rive di nan kè nou: Nasyon sa yo gen plis moun pase nou. Ki jan pou n' fè pou n' pran peyi a nan men yo? wete lide konsa nan tèt nou.
18 thou art not afraid of them; thou dost surely remember that which Jehovah thy God hath done to Pharaoh, and to all Egypt,
Nou pa bezwen pè yo. Chonje tou sa Seyè a, Bondye nou an, te fè farawon an ak tout peyi Lejip li a.
19 the great trials which thine eyes have seen, and the signs, and the wonders, and the strong hand, and the stretched-out arm, with which Jehovah thy God hath brought thee out; so doth Jehovah thy God to all the peoples of whose presence thou art afraid.
Chonje tout gwo malè nou te wè ak je nou, tout mèvèy ak tout mirak Seyè a te fè ak fòs ponyèt li ak gwo kouraj li pou l' fè nou soti kite peyi sa a. Seyè a pral fè menm jan an tou ak tout pèp nou pè yo.
20 'And also the locust doth Jehovah thy God send among them, till the destruction of those who are left, and of those who are hidden from thy presence;
Sa ki pi rèd ankò, l'ap voye yon bann tanwouan pou touye tou sa ki va chape anba men nou pou y' al kache pou nou.
21 thou art not terrified by their presence, for Jehovah thy God [is] in thy midst, a God great and fearful.
Nou pa bezwen pè moun sa yo menm. Seyè a, Bondye nou an, kanpe la avèk nou. Se yon Bondye ki gen anpil pouvwa, yon Bondye ki fè tout moun respekte l'.
22 'And Jehovah thy God hath cast out these nations from thy presence little [by] little, (thou art not able to consume them hastily, lest the beast of the field multiply against thee),
Seyè a, Bondye nou an, va mete nasyon sa yo deyò devan nou, yonn apre lòt. Nou p'ap ka detwi yo tout yon sèl kou. Paske si nou fè l', bèt nan bwa ka anvayi peyi a, epi sa pa ta bon pou nou.
23 and Jehovah thy God hath given them before thee, and destroyed them — a great destruction — till their destruction;
Men, Seyè a, Bondye nou an, pral lage yo nan men nou. L'ap fè yo pati kouri devan nou jouk n'a fin disparèt yo nèt.
24 and He hath given their kings into thy hand, and thou hast destroyed their name from under the heavens; no man doth station himself in thy presence till thou hast destroyed them.
Seyè a pral mete wa yo anba pye nou. Nou pral touye yo, nou pral fè tout moun sou latè bliye non yo. Pesonn p'ap ka rete nou sou kous nou. Nou pral detwi yo tout.
25 'The graven images of their gods ye do burn with fire; thou dost not desire the silver and gold on them, nor hast thou taken [it] to thyself, lest thou be snared by it, for the abomination of Jehovah thy God it [is];
N'a boule tout zidòl yo te taye nan bwa. Pa kite lò ak ajan ki kouvri zidòl yo mete move lanvi nan ke nou. Pa pran yo pou nou. Sa ka yon pèlen pou nou. Nou konnen bagay konsa se bagay Seyè a, Bondye nou an, pa vle wè menm.
26 and thou dost not bring in an abomination unto thy house — or thou hast been devoted like it; — thou dost utterly detest it, and thou dost utterly abominate it; for it [is] devoted.
Konsa tou, pa pran ankenn nan zidòl sa yo pou nou mete anndan lakay nou, pou menm madichon ki sou yo a pa tonbe sou nou tou. Se pou nou konsidere yo pou move bagay, pou vye bagay sal. Se bagay ki madichonnen, bagay ki fèt pou disparèt nèt.
