Deteronòm 26
1 Lè n'a rive nan peyi Seyè a, Bondye nou an, ban nou pou rele nou pa nou an, lè n'a fin pran tout peyi a pou nou pou nou rete ladan l',
It shall be, when you have come in to the land which Adonai your God gives you for an inheritance, possess it, and dwell in it,
2 chak moun va pran premye donn tout pyebwa nan jaden li fè sou tè Seyè a, Bondye li a, va ba li, l'a mete yo nan yon panyen, epi l'a pote l' kote Seyè a te chwazi pou l' rete nan mitan nou an.
that you shall take some of the first of all the fruit of the ground, which you shall bring in from your land that Adonai your God gives you. You shall put it in a basket, and shall go to the place which Adonai your God shall choose, to cause his name to dwell there.
3 Li aval jwenn prèt ki desèvis lè sa a, epi l'a di l': -Mwen deklare jòdi a, devan Seyè a, Bondye mwen an, mwen rekonèt mwen antre nan peyi li te pwomèt li t'ap bay zansèt nou yo.
You shall come to the priest who shall be in those days, and tell him, “I profess today to Adonai your God, that I have come to the land which Adonai swore to our fathers to give us.”
4 Prèt la va pran panyen an nan men li, l'a depoze l' devan lòtèl Seyè a, Bondye nou an.
The priest shall take the basket out of your hand, and set it down before Adonai your God’s altar.
5 Lè sa a, moun k'ap fè ofrann lan va pran lapawòl devan Seyè a, Bondye nou an, l'a fè deklarasyon sa a: -Zansèt mwen te yon moun peyi Aram ki t'ap pwonmennen mache toupatou. Yon jou, li desann nan peyi Lejip ak moun pa l' yo ki pa t' anpil. Yo pase kèk tan nan peyi a, yo tounen yon gwo nasyon ki te fò ak anpil anpil moun ladan l'.
You shall answer and say before Adonai your God, “My father was a Syrian ready to perish. He went down into Egypt [Abode of slavery], and lived there, few in number. There he became a great, mighty, and populous nation.
6 Moun peyi Lejip yo tonbe maltrete nou, yo malmennen nou, yo fòse nou travay di tankou esklav.
The Egyptians [people from Abode of slavery] mistreated us, afflicted us, and imposed hard labor on us.
7 Lè sa a, nou rele Seyè a, Bondye zansèt nou yo, pou l' vin ede nou. Li tande lapriyè nou. Li wè nan ki mizè nou te ye, li wè tout lapenn ki te nan kè nou, li wè jan yo t'ap peze nou.
Then we cried to Adonai, the God of our fathers. Adonai sh'ma ·hear obey· our voice, and saw our affliction, our toil, and our oppression.
8 Seyè a fè nou soti kite peyi Lejip la ak gwo fòs ponyèt li, li te fè anpil mirak ak anpil mèvèy, bagay ki te fè moun pè anpil.
Adonai brought us out of Egypt [Abode of slavery] with a mighty hand, with an outstretched arm, with great terror, with signs, and with wonders;
9 Apre sa, li mennen nou isit la, li ban nou bèl tè sa a, kote lèt ak siwo myèl ap koule tankou dlo.
and he has brought us into this place, and has given us this land, a land flowing with milk and honey.
10 Se sa ki fè koulye a, Seyè, mwen pote ba ou pi bèl fwi nan premye rekòt ou ban mwen nan peyi a. Apre sa, nonm lan va depoze panyen an devan Seyè a, Bondye nou an, l'a mete ajenou devan l'.
Now, behold, I have brought the first of the fruit of the ground, which you, Adonai, have given me.” You shall set it down before Adonai your God, and hawa ·bow low, prostrate· to worship before Adonai your God.
11 Lèfini, li menm ak tout moun lakay li, l'a fè fèt pou tout bon bagay sa yo Seyè a te ba li. L'a fè moun Levi yo ansanm ak moun lòt nasyon k'ap viv nan mitan nou yo fete ansanm ak li tou.
You shall rejoice in all the good which Adonai your God has given to you, and to your house, you, and the Levite [Descendant of United with], and the foreigner who is among you.
12 Chak twazan n'a bay ladim, ki vle di yon dizyèm tout bagay nou rekòlte. N'a ranmase sa n'ap bay la, n'a mache nan tout lavil nou yo, n'a bay prèt yo, moun lòt nasyon yo, timoun san papa yo ak vèv yo, pou yo tout ka manje plen vant yo.
When you have finished tithing all the tithe of your increase in the third year, which is the year of tithing, then you shall give it to the Levite [Descendant of United with], to the foreigner, to the orphan, and to the widow, that they may eat within your gates, and be filled.
13 Lèfini, n'a parèt devan lòtèl Seyè a, Bondye nou an, n'a di l': -Mwen pa kite lakay mwen anyen nan sa mwen fèt pou mete apa pou ou. Mwen mache bay prèt yo, moun lòt nasyon yo, timoun san papa ak vèv yo, dapre lòd ou te ban mwen. Mwen fè tou sa ou te mande m' fè sou keksyon sa a. Mwen pa bliye anyen nan tou sa ou di m'.
You shall say before Adonai your God, “I have put away the holy things out of my house, and also have given them to the Levite, to the foreigner, to the orphan, and to the widow, according to all your mitzvot ·instructions· which you have enjoined me. I have not transgressed any of your mitzvot ·instructions·, neither have I forgotten them.
14 Mwen pa t' manje ladan yo lè mwen te nan lapenn, ni lè mwen pa t' nan kondisyon pou fè sèvis pou ou. Ni mwen pa t' wete anyen ladan l' pou m' fè ofrann bay mò. Seyè, Bondye mwen, mwen te obeyi ou, mwen te fè tou sa ou te ban m' lòd fè sou keksyon sa a.
I have not eaten of it in my vain striving of iniquity mourning, neither have I removed any of it while I was unclean, nor given of it for the dead. I have sh'ma ·heard obeyed· Adonai my God’s voice. I have done according to all that you have enjoined me.
15 Rete nan syèl la, nan kay ki apa nèt pou ou a, voye je ou gade pèp ou a. Beni pèp Izrayèl la ansanm ak tè ou te ban nou an dapre pwomès ou te fè zansèt nou yo. Beni peyi kote lèt ak siwo myèl ap koule tankou dlo a.
Look down from your holy habitation, from heaven, and bless your people Israel [God prevails], and the ground which you have given us, as you swore to our fathers, a land flowing with milk and honey.”
16 Seyè a, Bondye nou an, pase nou lòd jòdi a pou nou swiv tout lwa ak tout regleman sa yo. N'a kenbe yo, n'a fè sa yo mande nou la a ak tout kè nou ak tout nanm nou.
Today Adonai your God enjoins to you to do these statutes and judgments. You shall therefore keep and do them with all your heart and with all your soul.
17 Jòdi a nou fè deklarasyon nou bay Seyè a: Nou di se li ki Bondye nou. Nou pwomèt pou nou toujou mache jan li vle l' la, pou nou fè tou sa ki nan lwa, nan lòd ak nan regleman li yo pou nou toujou koute sa l' di nou.
You have declared today that Adonai is your God, and that you would walk in his ways, and keep his statutes, and his mitzvot ·instructions·, and his judgments, and sh'ma ·hear obey· his voice.
18 Jòdi a tou, Seyè a te asepte nou pou pèp li renmen anpil la, jan l' te fè nou pwomès la. Epi li pase nou lòd pou nou fè tou sa l'a mande nou fè.
Adonai has declared today that you are le'am segulah ·people of special treasure· for his own possession, as he has promised you, and that you should keep all his mitzvot ·instructions·.
19 L'ap fè nou tounen nasyon ki pi gran pase tout lòt nasyon li te fè yo. N'a gen pouvwa pase yo, n'a gen repitasyon pase yo, y'a respekte nou pase yo. Wi, n'a yon pèp k'ap viv apa nèt pou Seyè a, Bondye nou an, jan l' te di l' la.
He will make you high above all nations that he has made, in tehilah ·praise song·, in name, and in honor; and that you may be a holy people to Adonai your God, as he has spoken.
