Deteronòm 30

1 Mwen mete benediksyon ak madichon dèvan nou pou n' chwazi. Lè tout bagay mwen te di nou yo va rive nou, si, antan n'ap viv nan mitan lòt nasyon nan peyi kote Seyè a te gaye nou yo, nou vin chonje sa m' te di nou,

And it shall come to pass when all these things shall have come upon thee, the blessing and the curse, which I have set before thy face, and thou shalt call [them] to mind among all the nations, wherein the Lord shall have scattered thee,

2 si nou tounen vin jwenn Seyè a, Bondye nou an, si nou koute l' ak tout kè nou, ak tout nanm nou, nou menm ak tout pitit nou yo, jan m'ap ban nou lòd jòdi a,

and shalt return to the Lord thy God, and shalt hearken to his voice, according to all things which I charge thee this day, with all thy heart, and with all thy soul;

3 enben, lè sa a Seyè a, Bondye nou an, va gen pitye pou nou. L'a mennen tout moun yo te depòte yo tounen lakay yo. L'a chanje sò nou. Li pral mache chache nou nan tout peyi kote li te gaye nou yo, l'a sanble nou ankò.

then the Lord shall heal thine iniquities, and shall pity thee, and shall again gather thee out from all the nations, among which the Lord has scattered thee.

4 Yo mèt depòte nou jouk nan dènye bout latè, Seyè a, Bondye nou an, pral chache nou jouk la pou l' sanble nou ankò.

If thy dispersion be from one end of heaven to the other, thence will the Lord thy God gather thee, and thence will the Lord thy God take thee.

5 Seyè a va fè nou tounen nan peyi kote zansèt nou yo te rete a, n'a tounen pran l' pou nou ankò. L'a fè nou plis byen pase sa l' te fè pou zansèt nou yo, l'a fè nou vin pi plis pase zansèt nou yo.

And the Lord thy God shall bring thee in from thence into the land which thy fathers have inherited, and thou shalt inherit it; and he will do thee good, and multiply thee above thy fathers.

6 Seyè a, Bondye nou an, va mete mak kontra li a sou kè nou ak sou kè pitit nou yo, pou nou ka renmen l' ak tout kè nou, ak tout nanm nou, pou nou ka gen lavi.

And the Lord shall purge thy heart, and the heart of thy seed, to love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, that thou mayest live.

7 Seyè a, Bondye nou an, va fè tout madichon sa yo tonbe sou lènmi nou yo, sou moun ki pa t' vle wè nou yo, sou moun ki t'ap maltrete nou yo.

And the Lord thy God will put these curses upon thine enemies, and upon those that hate thee, who have persecuted thee.

8 Men, nou menm, n'a tounen vin jwenn Seyè a, n'a koute l', n'a fè tou sa li ban nou lòd fè a, jan mwen mande nou li jòdi a.

And thou shalt return and hearken to the voice of the Lord thy God, and shall keep his commands, all that I charge thee this day.

9 Seyè a, Bondye nou an, va kouvri nou anba benediksyon. Li va fè tout zafè nou mache byen, l'a ban nou anpil pitit, l'a ban nou anpil bèt, l'a fè jaden nou yo bay bèl rekòt. Paske, Seyè a va pran plezi ankò pou l' fè nou viv ak kè kontan, menm jan li te pran plezi fè sa pou zansèt nou yo.

And the Lord thy God shall bless thee in every work of thine hands, in the offspring of thy body, and in the offspring of thy cattle, and in the fruits of thy land, because the Lord thy God will again rejoice over thee for good, as he rejoiced over thy fathers:

10 Men, n'a gen pou nou koute Seyè a, Bondye nou an, n'a gen pou nou kenbe tout kòmandman li yo ak tout regleman li yo, tou sa ki ekri nan liv lalwa a. Wi, se pou nou tounen vin jwenn Seyè a, Bondye nou an, ak tout kè nou, ak tout nanm nou.

if thou wilt hearken to the voice of the Lord thy God, to keep his commandments, and his ordinances, and his judgments written in the book of this law, if thou turn to the Lord thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul.

11 Kòmandman m'ap ban nou jòdi a, se pa bagay nou pa kapab fè, bagay nou pa ka rive fè.

For this command which I give thee this day is not grievous, neither is it far from thee.

12 Se pa nan syèl la li ye pou n' ta di: Kilès ki pral moute al chache l' nan syèl la pou fè nou tande l', pou n' ka fè sa l' mande nou fè a?

It is not in heaven above, [as if there were one] saying, Who shall go up for us into heaven, and shall take it for us, and we will hear and do it?

13 Se pa lòt bò lanmè li ye non plis pou nou ta di: Kilès ki pral janbe lanmè al chache l' pou nou ka tande sa l' di, pou nou ka fè sa l' mande nou fè a?

Neither is it beyond the sea, saying, Who will go over for us to the other side of the sea, and take it for us, and make it audible to us, and we will do it?

14 Non. Li la toupre nou. Li nan bouch nou, li nan tèt nou pou nou ka fè sa l' mande nou fè a.

The word is very near thee, in thy mouth, and in thine heart, and in thine hands to do it.

15 Gade. Jòdi a mwen mete devan nou lavi ak benediksyon yon bò, lanmò ak madichon yon bò. Se nou ki pou chwazi.

Behold, I have set before thee this day life and death, good and evil.

16 Sa m'ap mande nou jòdi a, se pou nou renmen Seyè a, Bondye nou an, se pou nou viv jan li vle l' la, se pou nou fè tou sa li mande nou fè nan kòmandman li yo, nan lòd li yo ak nan regleman li yo. Konsa, n'a gen lavi, n'a gen anpil pitit. Seyè a, Bondye nou an, va beni nou nan peyi nou pral pran pou rele nou pa nou an.

If thou wilt hearken to the commands of the Lord thy God, which I command thee this day, to love the Lord thy God, to walk in all his ways, and to keep his ordinances, and his judgments; then ye shall live, and shall be many in number, and the Lord thy God shall bless thee in all the land into which thou goest to inherit it.

17 Men, si nou vire do ba li, si nou derefize koute l', si nou kite yo pran tèt nou pou n' al mete ajenou devan lòt bondye, pou n' al fè sèvis pou yo,

But if thy heart change, and thou wilt not hearken, and thou shalt go astray and worship other gods, and serve them,

18 m'ap avèti nou depi koulye a: nou tout gen pou mouri. Nou p'ap viv lontan nan peyi lòt bò larivyè Jouden kote nou pral antre pou nou pran pou nou an.

I declare to you this day, that ye shall utterly perish, and ye shall by no means live long upon the land, into which ye go over Jordan to inherit it.

19 Mwen pran syèl la ak latè a sèvi m' temwen jòdi a: Men li, mwen mete devan nou lavi yon bò, lanmò yon bò, benediksyon yon bò, madichon yon bò pou nou chwazi. Chwazi lavi tande, pou nou ka viv, nou menm ansanm ak tout pitit nou yo.

I call both heaven and earth to witness this day against you, I have set before you life and death, the blessing and the curse: choose thou life, that thou and thy seed may live;

20 renmen Seyè a, Bondye nou an. Koute l'. Pa lage l' menm, paske se li menm ki tout lavi nou, se li k'ap fè nou viv lontan nan peyi Seyè a te fè pwomès li t'ap bay Abraram, Izarak ak Jakòb, zansèt nou yo.

to love the Lord thy God, to hearken to his voice, and cleave to him; for this [is] thy life, and the length of thy days, that thou shouldest dwell upon the land, which the Lord sware to thy fathers, Abraam, and Isaac, and Jacob, to give to them.
