Deteronòm 11
1 Se pou nou renmen Seyè a, Bondye nou an. Se pou nou toujou kenbe lòd, prensip ak kòmandman li ban nou yo.
You shall therefore love the LORD your God and always keep His charge, His statutes, His ordinances, and His commandments.
2 Se pou nou rekonèt jòdi a tou sa Seyè a te moutre nou. Nou te wè jan li gen pouvwa, jan li gen fòs, jan li gen kouraj. Se nou menm ki te viv tout bagay sa yo, se pa t' pitit nou yo. Yo menm yo pa t' konn anyen, ni yo pa t' wè anyen.
Know this day that it is not your children who have known and seen the discipline of the LORD your God: His greatness, His mighty hand, and His outstretched arm;
3 Seyè a te fè nou wè mirak ak gwo mèvèy li te fè nan mitan peyi Lejip, pou li te fini ak farawon an ansanm ak tout moun nan peyi a.
the signs and works He did in Egypt to Pharaoh king of Egypt and all his land;
4 Nou te wè kisa li te fè lame Lejip la ak tout chwal yo ak tout cha yo, ki jan li te fè dlo lanmè Wouj la kouvri yo, lè yo t'ap rapouswiv nou an. Seyè a te kraze yo nèt.
what He did to the Egyptian army and horses and chariots when He made the waters of the Red Sea engulf them as they pursued you, and how He destroyed them completely, even to this day;
5 Nou konnen sa li te fè pou nou tout tan nou te nan dezè a jouk nou rive isit la.
what He did for you in the wilderness until you reached this place;
6 Chonje sa li te fè Datan ak Abiram, pitit Eliyab, moun fanmi Woubenn yo. Tè a te fann, li vale yo tou vivan ansanm ak tout fanmi yo, tout tant yo ak tout moun ki te avèk yo, devan je tout pèp Izrayèl la.
and what He did in the midst of all the Israelites to Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab the Reubenite, when the earth opened its mouth and swallowed them, their households, their tents, and every living thing that belonged to them.
7 Se nou menm ki te wè ak je nou tout gwo mèvèy sa yo Seyè a te fè.
For it is your own eyes that have seen every great work that the LORD has done.
8 Se pou nou mache dapre lòd m'ap ban nou jòdi a, pou nou ka vin fò, pou nou ka pran peyi nou pral anvayi a pou nou,
You shall therefore keep every commandment I am giving you today, so that you may have the strength to go in and possess the land that you are crossing the Jordan to possess,
9 pou nou ka viv lontan nan peyi Seyè a te fè sèman l'ap bay zansèt nou yo pou yo menm ak tout ras yo, nan peyi kote lèt ak siwo myèl ap koule tankou dlo.
and so that you may live long in the land that the LORD swore to your fathers to give them and their descendants, a land flowing with milk and honey.
10 Peyi nou pral anvayi pou nou pran pou nou an pa yon peyi ki tankou peyi Lejip kote nou soti a, yon peyi kote se nou menm ki te blije simen grenn nan jaden nou, lèfini pou nou te travay di pou nou wouze yo tankou yo wouze jaden legim.
For the land that you are entering to possess is not like the land of Egypt, from which you have come, where you sowed your seed and irrigated on foot, like a vegetable garden.
11 Non! Peyi nou pral anvayi pou nou pran pou nou an, se yon peyi ki gen anpil mòn ak anpil fon, yon peyi lapli soti nan syèl wouze tout tan.
But the land that you are crossing the Jordan to possess is a land of mountains and valleys that drinks in the rain from heaven.
12 Se yon peyi Seyè a, Bondye nou an, ap pran swen, yon peyi l'ap veye pou anyen pa rive l' depi premye jou nan lanne a rive dènye jou a.
It is a land for which the LORD your God cares; the eyes of the LORD your God are always on it, from the beginning to the end of the year.
13 Nou mèt sèten, si nou mache dapre kòmandman mwen ban nou jòdi a, si nou renmen Seyè a, Bondye nou an, si nou sèvi l' ak tout kè nou ak tout nanm nou,
So if you carefully obey the commandments I am giving you today, to love the LORD your God and to serve Him with all your heart and with all your soul,
14 m'a voye lapli sou tè nou lè n'a bezwen l', m'a bay lapli nan sezon plante ak nan sezon rekòt pou nou ka gen anpil manje, anpil diven ak anpil lwil.
then I will provide rain for your land in season, the autumn and spring rains, that you may gather your grain, new wine, and oil.
15 M'a fè anpil zèb pouse nan savann nou yo pou bèt nou manje. Konsa, n'a jwenn manje pou nou manje plen vant nou.
And I will provide grass in the fields for your livestock, and you will eat and be satisfied.
16 Fè atansyon pou nou pa pèdi tèt nou, pou nou pa kite chemen ki devan nou an pou n' al sèvi lòt bondye, pou n' al adore yo.
But be careful that you are not enticed to turn aside to worship and bow down to other gods,
17 Si nou kite sa rive nou, Seyè a va fache anpil sou nou, li p'ap voye lapli. Si pa gen lapli, tè a p'ap bay sa pou l' te bay la. Nou tout n'ap mouri byen vit nan bon peyi Seyè a ban nou an.
or the anger of the LORD will be kindled against you. He will shut the heavens so that there will be no rain, nor will the land yield its produce, and you will soon perish from the good land that the LORD is giving you.
18 Fè pawòl m'ap di nou la a antre nan tèt nou pou nou pa janm bliye yo! Mare yo sou ponyèt nou ak sou fwon nou pou nou ka toujou chonje yo.
Fix these words of mine in your hearts and minds; tie them as reminders on your hands and bind them on your foreheads.
19 N'a moutre yo bay timoun nou yo, n'a repete yo nan zòrèy yo, nou te mèt lakay nou, nou te mèt ap mache granchemen, nou te mèt kouche nan kabann nou, nou te mèt kanpe ap travay.
Teach them to your children, speaking about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up.
20 Ekri yo sou chanbrann pòt lakay nou ak sou pòtay lavil nou yo,
Write them on the doorposts of your houses and on your gates,
21 pou nou ka viv lontan, nou menm ansanm ak tout ras nou yo, nan peyi Seyè a te fè sèman l'ap bay zansèt nou yo toutotan va gen yon syèl anwo tè a.
so that as long as the heavens are above the earth, your days and those of your children may be multiplied in the land that the LORD swore to give your fathers.
22 Si nou swiv pwen pa pwen tout kòmandman mwen ban nou lòd pou nou swiv yo, si nou renmen Seyè a, Bondye nou an, si nou mache sou chemen li mete devan nou an, si nou pa janm lage l',
For if you carefully keep all these commandments I am giving you to follow—to love the LORD your God, to walk in all His ways, and to hold fast to Him—
23 Seyè a va mete tout nasyon sa yo deyò devan nou pou nou ka pran plas yo. N'a pran pou nou peyi yon bann nasyon ki gen plis moun pase nou, ki pi fò pase nou.
then the LORD will drive out all these nations before you, and you will dispossess nations greater and stronger than you.
24 Tout kote pye nou va pile, se pou nou la ye. N'a gen dezè a pou lizyè sou anba, peyi Liban an sou anwo. N'a gen gwo larivyè Lefrat la yon bò ak lanmè Mediterane a sou bò solèy kouche.
Every place where the sole of your foot treads will be yours. Your territory will extend from the wilderness to Lebanon, and from the Euphrates River to the Western Sea.
25 Pesonn p'ap ka kanpe devan nou pou rete nou sou kous nou. Kote nou pase, Seyè a, Bondye nou an, pral fè moun peyi a pè nou, yo pral kouri pou nou jan li te pwomèt nou li a.
No man will be able to stand against you; the LORD your God will put the fear and dread of you upon all the land, wherever you set foot, as He has promised you.
26 Jòdi a, mwen mete benediksyon ak madichon devan nou. Se nou ki pou chwazi.
See, today I am setting before you a blessing and a curse—
27 Se va benediksyon pou nou si nou swiv tout kòmandman Seyè a, Bondye nou an, kòmandman mwen ban nou jòdi a.
a blessing if you obey the commandments of the LORD your God that I am giving you today,
28 Men se va madichon pou nou si nou pa vle mache dapre kòmandman Seyè a, Bondye nou an, si nou kite chemen mwen mande nou pou nou swiv jòdi a pou n' al kouri dèyè lòt bondye nou pa janm konnen.
but a curse if you disobey the commandments of the LORD your God and turn aside from the path I command you today by following other gods, which you have not known.
29 Lè Seyè a, Bondye nou an, va fè nou antre nan peyi nou pral pran pou nou an, n'a mete benediksyon an sou mòn Garizim, n'a mete madichon an sou mòn Ebal.
When the LORD your God brings you into the land you are entering to possess, you are to proclaim the blessing on Mount Gerizim and the curse on Mount Ebal.
30 Mòn sa yo lòt bò larivyè Jouden, nan direksyon solèy kouche, nan peyi moun Kanaran yo ki rete nan plenn Araba a, anfas Gilga, toupre pye chenn More a.
Are not these mountains across the Jordan, west of the road toward the sunset, in the land of the Canaanites who live in the Arabah opposite Gilgal near the Oak of Moreh?
31 Nou prèt pou nou janbe lòt bò larivyè Jouden an pou n' al pran pou nou peyi Seyè a, Bondye nou an, ap ban nou an. N'a pran peyi a pou nou, n'a rete ladan l'.
For you are about to cross the Jordan to enter and possess the land that the LORD your God is giving you. When you take possession of it and settle in it,
32 N'a fè atansyon pou nou kenbe tout lòd ak tout prensip mwen mete devan nou jòdi a.
be careful to follow all the statutes and ordinances that I am setting before you today.
