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.
“And you have loved your God YHWH, and kept His charge, and His statutes, and His judgments, and His commands, [for] all the days;
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.
and you have known today—for it is not your sons who have not known and who have not seen the discipline of your God YHWH, His greatness, His strong 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.
and His signs and His doings which He has done in the midst of Egypt, to Pharaoh king of Egypt and to 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.
and that which He has done to the force of Egypt, to its horses, and to its chariot, when He has caused the waters of the Red Sea to flow against their faces in their pursuing after them, and YHWH destroys them, to this day;
5 Nou konnen sa li te fè pou nou tout tan nou te nan dezè a jouk nou rive isit la.
and that which He has done to you in the wilderness until your coming to 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 that which He has done to Dathan and to Abiram, sons of Eliab, sons of Reuben, when the earth has opened her mouth and swallows them, and their houses, and their tents, and all that lives which is at their feet, in the midst of all Israel—
7 Se nou menm ki te wè ak je nou tout gwo mèvèy sa yo Seyè a te fè.
but [it is] your eyes which are seeing all the great work of YHWH which He 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,
And you have kept all the command which I am commanding you today, so that you are strong, and have gone in, and possessed the land to where you are passing over to possess it,
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 prolong days on the ground which YHWH has sworn to your fathers to give to them and to their seed—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 to where you are going in to possess it is not as the land of Egypt from where you have come out, where you sow your seed and have watered with your foot, as a garden of the green herb;
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 to where you are passing over to possess it [is] a land of hills and valleys—it drinks water of the rain of the heavens—
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.
a land which your God YHWH is searching; the eyes of your God YHWH [are] continually on it, from the beginning of the year even to the latter 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,
And it has been, if you listen diligently to My commands which I am commanding you today, to love your God YHWH, 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 have given the rain of your land in its season—autumn rain and spring rain—and you have gathered your grain, and your new wine, and your 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 have given herbs in your field for your livestock, and you have eaten and been 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.
Take heed to yourselves lest your heart be enticed, and you have turned aside, and served other gods, and bowed yourselves to them,
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.
and the anger of YHWH has burned against you, and He has restrained the heavens and there is no rain, and the ground does not give her increase, and you have perished quickly from off the good land which YHWH is giving to 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.
And you have placed these words of mine on your heart and on your soul, and have bound them for a sign on your hand, and they have been for frontlets between your eyes;
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.
and you have taught them to your sons by speaking of them in your sitting in your house, and in your going in the way, and in your lying down, and in your rising up,
20 Ekri yo sou chanbrann pòt lakay nou ak sou pòtay lavil nou yo,
and have written them on the doorposts of your house 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 your days are multiplied, and the days of your sons, on the ground which YHWH has sworn to your fathers to give to them, as the days of the heavens above the earth.
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 diligently keep all this command which I am commanding you to do—to love your God YHWH, to walk in all His ways, and to cleave 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 YHWH has dispossessed all these nations from before you, and you have possessed nations greater and mightier 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 on which the sole of your foot treads is yours: from the wilderness and Lebanon, from the river, the Euphrates River, even to the Western Sea, is your border.
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 stations himself in your presence; your God YHWH puts your dread and your fear on the face of all the land on which you tread, as He has spoken to 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 reviling:
27 Se va benediksyon pou nou si nou swiv tout kòmandman Seyè a, Bondye nou an, kòmandman mwen ban nou jòdi a.
the blessing when you listen to the commands of your God YHWH which I am commanding 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.
and the reviling if you do not listen to the commands of your God YHWH, and have turned aside from the way which I am commanding you today, to go after 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.
And it has been, when your God YHWH brings you into the land to where you are going in to possess it, that you have given the blessing on Mount Gerizim and the reviling 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 they not beyond the Jordan, behind the way of the going in of the sun, in the land of the Canaanite who is dwelling in the plain opposite Gilgal, near the oaks 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 passing over the Jordan to go in to possess the land which your God YHWH is giving to you; and you have possessed it, and dwelt in it,
32 N'a fè atansyon pou nou kenbe tout lòd ak tout prensip mwen mete devan nou jòdi a.
and observed to do all the statutes and the judgments which I am setting before you today.”
