Deteronòm 28
1 Si nou koute Seyè a, Bondye nou an, si nou fè tou sa mwen ban nou lòd fè jòdi a, Seyè a va fè nou tounen nasyon ki pi gran pase tout lòt nasyon ki sou latè.
And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of Yhwh thy God, to observe and to do all his commandments which I command thee this day, that Yhwh thy God will set thee on high above all nations of the earth:
2 Wi, si nou koute Seyè a, Bondye nou an, men benediksyon l'ap vide sou nou:
And all these blessings shall come on thee, and overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken unto the voice of Yhwh thy God.
3 Seyè a va beni nou lavil kou andeyò.
Blessed shalt thou be in the city, and blessed shalt thou be in the field.
4 Seyè a va beni pitit nou yo, rekòt jaden nou yo, pòte bèf nou yo, pòte kabrit nou yo, pòte mouton nou yo ak pòte tout lòt bèt nou yo.
Blessed shall be the fruit of thy body, and the fruit of thy ground, and the fruit of thy cattle, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep.
5 Seyè a va beni rekòt ble nou ak rekòt farin nou.
Blessed shall be thy basket and thy store.
6 Seyè a va beni nou nan tou sa n'ap fè, depi nan mete men jouk nou bout.
Blessed shalt thou be when thou comest in, and blessed shalt thou be when thou goest out.
7 Seyè a va fè nou kraze tout lènmi ki va atake nou. Lè y'ap vin sou nou, y'a mache ansanm sou yon sèl chemen. Men, y'a gaye toupatou lè y'ap kraze rak pou nou.
Yhwh shall cause thine enemies that rise up against thee to be smitten before thy face: they shall come out against thee one way, and flee before thee seven ways.
8 Seyè a va beni nou tout tan, l'a beni depo manje nou, l'a beni tou sa n'ap fè. L'a beni nou nan peyi Seyè a, Bondye nou an, va ban nou an.
Yhwh shall command the blessing upon thee in thy storehouses, and in all that thou settest thine hand unto; and he shall bless thee in the land which Yhwh thy God giveth thee.
9 Si nou fè tou sa Seyè a, Bondye nou an, mande nou fè, si nou viv jan li vle nou viv la, n'a yon pèp k'ap viv apa nèt pou Seyè a, Bondye nou an, jan l' te fè nou pwomès la.
Yhwh shall establish thee an holy people unto himself, as he hath sworn unto thee, if thou shalt keep the commandments of Yhwh thy God, and walk in his ways.
10 Lè sa a, tout pèp sou latè va wè Seyè a te chwazi nou pou pote non l', y'a gen respè pou nou.
And all people of the earth shall see that thou art called by the name of Yhwh; and they shall be afraid of thee.
11 Seyè a va kouvri nou ak benediksyon, l'a ban nou anpil pitit, anpil bèt ak anpil rekòt nan peyi Seyè a te pwomèt zansèt nou yo l'ap ban nou an.
And Yhwh shall make thee plenteous in goods, in the fruit of thy body, and in the fruit of thy cattle, and in the fruit of thy ground, in the land which Yhwh sware unto thy fathers to give thee.
12 L'a rete nan syèl la, l'a louvri trezò li, l'a voye lapli sou peyi a lè sezon an va rive, l'a beni tout travay n'ap fè. N'a gen pou nou prete tout moun. Nou p'ap janm bezwen mande pesonn prete.
Yhwh shall open unto thee his good treasure, the heaven to give the rain unto thy land in his season, and to bless all the work of thine hand: and thou shalt lend unto many nations, and thou shalt not borrow.
13 Seyè a va mete nou devan, nou p'ap janm dèyè. N'a toujou anwo, nou p'ap janm anba, depi nou swiv tout lòd Seyè a, Bondye nou an, depi nou fè tou sa mwen mande nou fè jòdi a,
And Yhwh shall make thee the head, and not the tail; and thou shalt be above only, and thou shalt not be beneath; if that thou hearken unto the commandments of Yhwh thy God, which I command thee this day, to observe and to do them:
14 san nou pa janm kite chemen li mete devan nou an pou n' ale dèyè lòt bondye pou nou sèvi yo.
And thou shalt not go aside from any of the words which I command thee this day, to the right hand, or to the left, to go after other gods to serve them.
15 Men tou, si nou pa koute Seyè a, Bondye nou an, si nou pa fè tou sa mwen ban nou lòd fè jòdi a, si nou pa swiv regleman mwen ban nou yo, men madichon l'ap ban nou epi k'ap tonbe sou nou:
But it shall come to pass, if thou wilt not hearken unto the voice of Yhwh thy God, to observe to do all his commandments and his statutes which I command thee this day; that all these curses shall come upon thee, and overtake thee:
16 Madichon Bondye va tonbe sou nou nan lavil kou andeyò.
Cursed shalt thou be in the city, and cursed shalt thou be in the field.
17 Madichon Bondye va tonbe sou rekòt ble nou ak sou rekòt farin nou.
Cursed shall be thy basket and thy store.
18 Madichon Bondye va tonbe sou pitit nou yo, sou rekòt jaden nou yo, sou pòte bèf, pòte kabrit ak pòte mouton nou yo.
Cursed shall be the fruit of thy body, and the fruit of thy land, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep.
19 Madichon Bondye va tonbe sou tou sa n'ap fè, depi nan mete men jouk nou bout.
Cursed shalt thou be when thou comest in, and cursed shalt thou be when thou goest out.
20 Si nou fè bagay ki mal, si nou vire do bay Seyè a, l'ap voye tout kalite madichon sou nou: Nou p'ap konn sa pou n' fè, n'a gen kè sere nan tou sa n'ap fè jouk n'a rete konsa n'a fin disparèt nèt, paske nou te fè bagay ki mal, nou te vire do ba li.
Yhwh shall send upon thee cursing, vexation, and rebuke, in all that thou settest thine hand unto for to do, until thou be destroyed, and until thou perish quickly; because of the wickedness of thy doings, whereby thou hast forsaken me.
21 Seyè a ap voye yon sèl move maladi po k'ap fini nèt ak nou nan peyi nou pral pran pou nou an.
Yhwh shall make the pestilence cleave unto thee, until he have consumed thee from off the land, whither thou goest to possess it.
22 L'ap voye sou nou epidemi, move lafyèb, maladi anfle, chalè pou toufe moun, jouk n'a mouri. L'a voye chechrès, vèmen ak pichon pou detwi rekòt nou yo. Malè sa yo va tonbe sou nou jouk n'a fin disparèt nèt.
Yhwh shall smite thee with a consumption, and with a fever, and with an inflammation, and with an extreme burning, and with the sword, and with blasting, and with mildew; and they shall pursue thee until thou perish.
23 Syèl la p'ap bay yon degout lapli menm. Tè a va vin di kou wòch.
And thy heaven that is over thy head shall be brass, and the earth that is under thee shall be iron.
24 Nan plas lapli, Seyè a va fè pousyè tè ak sab kouvri nou jouk nou mouri.
Yhwh shall make the rain of thy land powder and dust: from heaven shall it come down upon thee, until thou be destroyed.
25 L'a fè lènmi nou yo bat nou. N'a pran yon sèl chemen ansanm pou n' atake yo. Men, n'a gaye toupatou lè n'a pran rak devan yo. Tout moun sou latè pral mete men nan tèt lè y'a wè sa ki rive nou.
Yhwh shall cause thee to be smitten before thine enemies: thou shalt go out one way against them, and flee seven ways before them: and shalt be removed into all the kingdoms of the earth.
26 Lè n'a mouri, se zwazo ak bèt nan bwa ki pral manje kadav nou yo san p'ap gen pesonn pou pouse yo ale.
And thy carcase shall be meat unto all fowls of the air, and unto the beasts of the earth, and there shall be none to frighten them away.
27 Seyè a va fè bouton leve sou tout kò nou, menm jan li te fè moun peyi Lejip yo, n'a gen apse, lagal, pyas, epi nou p'ap ka jwenn gerizon pou maladi po sa yo.
Yhwh will smite thee with the botch of Egypt, and with the emerods, and with the scab, and with the itch, whereof thou canst not be healed.
28 Seyè a va fè nou pèdi tèt nou, nou p'ap konprann sa n'ap fè, nou p'ap konnen kote pou n' mete kò nou.
Yhwh shall smite thee with madness, and blindness, and astonishment of heart:
29 Gwo midi, n'a tatonnen tankou avèg k'ap mache nan fènwa. Nou p'ap jwenn rannman nan ankenn travay n'ap fè. Tout tan moun ap malmennen nou, y'ap vòlè nou, lèfini p'ap gen pesonn pou pote nou sekou.
And thou shalt grope at noonday, as the blind gropeth in darkness, and thou shalt not prosper in thy ways: and thou shalt be only oppressed and spoiled evermore, and no man shall save thee.
30 N'a fiyanse ak yon fi, men se yon lòt gason ki va kouche ak li. N'a bati yon kay, men nou p'ap janm rete ladan l'. N'a plante yon jaden rezen, men nou p'ap janm jwi l'.
Thou shalt betroth a wife, and another man shall lie with her: thou shalt build an house, and thou shalt not dwell therein: thou shalt plant a vineyard, and shalt not gather the grapes thereof.
31 Y'a touye bèf nou yo la devan je nou, men nou p'ap ka mete yon ti moso nan vyann li nan bouch nou. Y'ap pran bourik nou nan bab nou al avè l', yo p'ap janm renmèt nou li. Y'a bay lènmi nou yo tout mouton nou yo, epi p'ap gen pesonn pou pote nou sekou.
Thine ox shall be slain before thine eyes, and thou shalt not eat thereof: thine donkey shall be violently taken away from before thy face, and shall not be restored to thee: thy sheep shall be given unto thine enemies, and thou shalt have none to rescue them.
32 N'a wè ak je nou y'ap pran pitit gason ak pitit fi nou yo bay moun lòt nasyon. Tout lè n'a anvi wè yo ankò, men p'ap gen anyen nou ka fè pou sa.
Thy sons and thy daughters shall be given unto another people, and thine eyes shall look, and fail with longing for them all the day long: and there shall be no might in thine hand.
33 Moun nou pa janm konnen va manje tou sa ki nan jaden nou ak tout pwofi travay nou. Se tout tan y'a malmennen nou, y'a maltrete nou.
The fruit of thy land, and all thy labours, shall a nation which thou knowest not eat up; and thou shalt be only oppressed and crushed alway:
34 Lè n'a wè tout bagay sa yo rive nou, n'a pèdi tèt nou!
So that thou shalt be mad for the sight of thine eyes which thou shalt see.
35 Seyè a va ban nou yon sèl malenng nan jenou ak sou kwis janm nou ki p'ap janm geri. Bouton ap parèt sou tout kò nou, depi nan pye jouk nan tèt.
Yhwh shall smite thee in the knees, and in the legs, with a sore botch that cannot be healed, from the sole of thy foot unto the top of thy head.
36 Seyè a pral depòte nou ansanm ak tout wa nou te mete alatèt nou, nan yon peyi etranje ni nou menm ni zansèt nou yo pa t' janm konnen. Lè n'a rive la, n'a sèvi zidòl fèt an bwa ak zidòl fèt ak wòch.
Yhwh shall bring thee, and thy king which thou shalt set over thee, unto a nation which neither thou nor thy fathers have known; and there shalt thou serve other gods, wood and stone.
37 Nan tout peyi kote Seyè a pral gaye nou yo, moun pral sezi wè sa ki rive nou, y'a pase nou anba kont betiz, y'a fè chante sou nou.
And thou shalt become an astonishment, a proverb, and a byword, among all nations whither Yhwh shall lead thee.
38 N'a plante anpil grenn nan jaden nou, men n'a rekòlte yon ti kras, paske krikèt va manje pifò.
Thou shalt carry much seed out into the field, and shalt gather but little in; for the locust shall consume it.
39 N'a plante jaden rezen, n'a okipe yo byen. Men, nou p'ap jwenn rezen ni pou nou rekòlte, ni pou fè diven pou nou bwè, paske vèmen va fin manje tout.
Thou shalt plant vineyards, and dress them, but shalt neither drink of the wine, nor gather the grapes; for the worms shall eat them.
40 Pye oliv va pouse toupatou nan peyi nou an, men nou p'ap gen yon ti degout lwil oliv, paske tout grenn oliv yo ap koule.
Thou shalt have olive trees throughout all thy coasts, but thou shalt not anoint thyself with the oil; for thine olive shall cast his fruit.
41 N'a fè pitit fi ak pitit gason, men yo p'ap pou nou, paske lènmi nou yo ap fè yo prizonye, y'ap depòte yo.
Thou shalt beget sons and daughters, but thou shalt not enjoy them; for they shall go into captivity.
42 Krikèt pral manje tout pyebwa nou yo ak tout ti plant ki nan jaden nou yo.
All thy trees and fruit of thy land shall the locust consume.
43 Moun lòt nasyon k'ap viv nan mitan nou va vin pi fò pase nou. Nou menm, chak jou, n'a pèdi fil.
The stranger that is within thee shall get up above thee very high; and thou shalt come down very low.
44 Se yo menm ki va gen lajan pou yo prete nou. Nou menm nou p'ap gen anyen pou n' prete yo. Se yo ki va devan, nou menm nou pral dèyè nèt.
He shall lend to thee, and thou shalt not lend to him: he shall be the head, and thou shalt be the tail.
45 Tout giyon sa yo va tonbe sou nou. Kote nou pase y'a pase dèyè nou. Y'a rete sou nou jouk y'a fini nèt ak nou. Tou sa, paske nou pa t' koute sa Seyè a, Bondye nou an, di nou, nou pa t' fè tou sa li te mande nou fè nan lòd ak regleman li te ban nou yo.
Moreover all these curses shall come upon thee, and shall pursue thee, and overtake thee, till thou be destroyed; because thou hearkenedst not unto the voice of Yhwh thy God, to keep his commandments and his statutes which he commanded thee:
46 Madichon sa yo va sèvi ni pou nou ni pou pitit nou yo pou moutre nou kalite mèvèy ak mirak Bondye ka fè.
And they shall be upon thee for a sign and for a wonder, and upon thy seed for ever.
47 Bondye te ban nou tou sa nou te bezwen. Men malgre sa, nou pa t' sèvi l' tout bon ak kè kontan.
Because thou servedst not Yhwh thy God with joyfulness, and with gladness of heart, for the abundance of all things;
48 Se poutèt sa, nou pral sèvi lènmi Seyè a pral voye sou nou. Nou pral soufri grangou, swaf dlo, toutouni, dizèt ak tout kalite mizè. Seyè a pral fè lènmi yo kraze nou anba men yo, jouk y'a fini nèt ak nou.
Therefore shalt thou serve thine enemies which Yhwh shall send against thee, in hunger, and in thirst, and in nakedness, and in want of all things: and he shall put a yoke of iron upon thy neck, until he have destroyed thee.
49 Seyè a pral mennen yon nasyon soti byen lwen nan dènye bout latè, yon nasyon ki pale yon lang nou p'ap konprann, yo pral vare sou nou tankou malfini sou poul.
Yhwh shall bring a nation against thee from far, from the end of the earth, as swift as the eagle flieth; a nation whose tongue thou shalt not understand;
50 Se moun ki gen kè di. Yo p'ap respekte vye granmoun, ni yo p'ap gen pitye pou timoun.
A nation of fierce countenance, which shall not regard the person of the old, nor shew favour to the young:
51 Y'a manje pwofi bèt nou yo, ak rekòt jaden nou yo jouk y'a kite nou mouri grangou. Yo p'ap kite anyen pou nou, ni farin, ni diven, ni lwil, ni pòte bèf nou yo ni pòte mouton nou yo, jouk y'a fini nèt ak nou.
And he shall eat the fruit of thy cattle, and the fruit of thy land, until thou be destroyed: which also shall not leave thee either grain, wine, or oil, or the increase of thy kine, or flocks of thy sheep, until he have destroyed thee.
52 Y'a atake nou. Y'a sènen tout lavil nou yo, jouk y'a fin kraze gwo miray byen wo ki te sèvi nou ranpa, miray nou te kwè ki ta ka toujou pwoteje nou yo. Wi, y'a fèmen nou, y'a sènen tout lavil nou yo, toupatou nan peyi Seyè a, Bondye nou an, te fè nou kado a.
And he shall besiege thee in all thy gates, until thy high and fenced walls come down, wherein thou trustedst, throughout all thy land: and he shall besiege thee in all thy gates throughout all thy land, which Yhwh thy God hath given thee.
53 Lè lènmi nou yo va sènen nou nan lavil nou yo, y'a mete nou nan yon sèl kalite mizè ak kè sere, n'a sitèlman grangou, n'a manje pwòp pitit nou yo, pitit gason ak pitit fi Seyè a, Bondye nou an, te ban nou.
And thou shalt eat the fruit of thine own body, the flesh of thy sons and of thy daughters, which Yhwh thy God hath given thee, in the siege, and in the straitness, wherewith thine enemies shall distress thee:
54 Menm moun nou konnen ki pi bon nan mitan nou an, moun ki pa janm nan kont ak pesonn lan, enben menm li menm, l'a fèmen kè l', li p'ap konn frè, li p'ap konn madanm li te renmen an, ni ankenn pitit nan sa ki rete l' yo,
So that the man that is tender among you, and very delicate, his eye shall be evil toward his brother, and toward the wife of his bosom, and toward the remnant of his children which he shall leave:
55 pou li pa bay pesonn nan vyann pitit li l'ap manje a, paske ak lènmi k'ap sènen nou nan lavil nou yo, ap gen yon sèl mizè ak kè sere nan mitan lavil nou yo, ata li menm, l'a sitèlman grangou, l'a blije manje pwòp pitit li, epi li p'ap bay pesonn ladan l'.
So that he will not give to any of them of the flesh of his children whom he shall eat: because he hath nothing left him in the siege, and in the straitness, wherewith thine enemies shall distress thee in all thy gates.
56 Menm fanm nou konnen ki pi bon moun nan mitan nou an, fanm ki pa ta janm ap mache nan lari tèlman li gen bon jan ak bon levasyon an, li va fèmen kè l', li p'ap konn ni mari li renmen anpil la, ni pitit fi, ni pitit gason.
The tender and delicate woman among you, which would not adventure to set the sole of her foot upon the ground for delicateness and tenderness, her eye shall be evil toward the husband of her bosom, and toward her son, and toward her daughter,
57 Pou li pa separe ak yo, l'a kache kò l' pou yo pa wè l' lè l'ap manje pitit li fenk fè a, ansanm ak tout manman vant lan. Paske, avèk lènmi k'ap sènen nou nan lavil nou yo, ap gen yon sèl mizè ak kè sere, p'ap gen anyen pou manje. Lè sa a, l'a kache kò l' pou l' pa bay yo anyen nan sa l'ap manje a.
And toward her young one that cometh out from between her feet, and toward her children which she shall bear: for she shall eat them for want of all things secretly in the siege and straitness, wherewith thine enemy shall distress thee in thy gates.
58 Si nou pa swiv tout regleman ki ekri nan liv lalwa sa a, si nou pa gen krentif pou Bondye nou an, Seyè ki gen anpil pouvwa a, Bondye moun fèt pou respekte a,
If thou wilt not observe to do all the words of this law that are written in this book, that thou mayest fear this glorious and fearful name, YHWH THY GOD;
59 Seyè a va voye gwo malè sa yo sou nou ak sou pitit nou yo, l'a voye gwo epidemi ki pa tande rete, move maladi ki pa konn renmèd.
Then Yhwh will make thy plagues wonderful, and the plagues of thy seed, even great plagues, and of long continuance, and sore sicknesses, and of long continuance.
60 L'a voye sou nou ankò tout malè ki te tonbe sou moun peyi Lejip yo, malè ki te fè nou tranble yo. Nou p'ap janm ka soti anba yo.
Moreover he will bring upon thee all the diseases of Egypt, which thou wast afraid of; and they shall cleave unto thee.
61 Sa ki pi rèd ankò, Seyè a va voye sou nou tout kalite epidemi ak maladi yo pa pale nan liv lalwa Seyè a jouk la fini nèt avèk nou.
Also every sickness, and every plague, which is not written in the book of this law, them will Yhwh bring upon thee, until thou be destroyed.
62 Epi nou menm, moun pèp Izrayèl yo, ki te anpil tankou zetwal ki nan syèl la, n'a tounen yon ti ponyen moun, paske nou pa t' koute sa Seyè a, Bondye nou an, te di nou.
And ye shall be left few in number, whereas ye were as the stars of heaven for multitude; because thou wouldest not obey the voice of Yhwh thy God.
63 Menm jan Seyè a, Bondye nou an, te pran plezi pou l' te fè nou byen, pou l' te fè nou vin anpil la, se konsa tou l'a pran plezi pou l' fè nou pèdi tout bagay, pou l' fini nèt ak nou. L'a rache nou met deyò nan peyi kote nou pral antre a, peyi nou pral pran pou nou rete a.
And it shall come to pass, that as Yhwh rejoiced over you to do you good, and to multiply you; so Yhwh will rejoice over you to destroy you, and to bring you to nought; and ye shall be plucked from off the land whither thou goest to possess it.
64 Seyè a va gaye nou nan mitan tout nasyon ki toupatou sou latè. Lè n'a rive la, n'a sèvi lòt bondye ni zansèt nou yo, ni nou menm nou pa t' janm tande pale, zidòl fèt an bwa, zidòl fèt ak wòch.
And Yhwh shall scatter thee among all people, from the one end of the earth even unto the other; and there thou shalt serve other gods, which neither thou nor thy fathers have known, even wood and stone.
65 Antan n'ap viv nan mitan lòt nasyon sa yo, nou p'ap janm gen kè poze, nou p'ap janm ka rete yon sèl kote. Seyè a va fè nou viv ak kè sote, nan lapenn ak dekourajman.
And among these nations shalt thou find no ease, neither shall the sole of thy foot have rest: But Yhwh shall give thee there a trembling heart, and failing of eyes, and sorrow of mind:
66 Lavi nou ap toujou an danje. Lajounen kou lannwit, n'ap nan laperèz, n'ap pè pou lanmò pa pran nou.
And thy life shall hang in doubt before thee; and thou shalt fear day and night, and shalt have none assurance of thy life:
67 Devan bagay n'a wè k'ap pase devan je nou, n'a gen yon sèl laperèz nan kè nou, kè nou va bat bip-bip! Chak maten n'a mande kilè aswè va rive. Chak aswè n'a mande kilè la jou.
In the morning thou shalt say, Would God it were even! and at even thou shalt say, Would God it were morning! for the fear of thine heart wherewith thou shalt fear, and for the sight of thine eyes which thou shalt see.
68 Seyè a va fè nou tounen nan peyi Lejip nan bato, atout se li menm ki te pwomèt nou pa t'ap janm tounen la ankò. N' aval vann tèt nou bay lènmi nou yo pou nou sèvi yo esklav, men pesonn p'ap vle achte nou.
And Yhwh shall bring thee into Egypt again with ships, by the way whereof I spake unto thee, Thou shalt see it no more again: and there ye shall be sold unto your enemies for bondmen and bondwomen, and no man shall buy you.
