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 are come upon thee, the blessing and the curse, which I have set before thee, and thou reflectest on them in thy heart among all the nations, whither the Lord thy God hath driven 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,
So that thou returnest unto the Lord thy God, and hearkenest unto his voice according to all that I command this day, thou and thy children, 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.
That then the Lord thy God will restore thy captivity, and have mercy upon thee; and he will again gather thee from all the nations, whither the Lord thy God hath 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 outcasts be at the outmost parts of heaven, from there will the Lord thy God gather thee, and from there will he fetch 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 will bring thee into the land which thy fathers possessed, and thou shalt possess 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 thy God will circumcise thy heart, and the heart of thy seed, to love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, in order 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 all these denunciations upon thy enemies, and on 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 wilt return and hearken unto the voice of the Lord, and thou wilt do all his commandments which I command 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 will make thee pre-eminent in every work of thy hand, in the fruit of thy body, and in the fruit of thy cattle, and in the fruit of thy land, for good; for the Lord 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 unto the voice of the Lord thy God, to keep his commandments and his statutes which are written in this book of the law; if thou wilt return unto the Lord thy God with all thy 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 commandment which I command thee this day, is not hidden from thee, nor is it far off.
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; that thou shouldst say, Who will go up for us to heaven, and fetch it down unto us, and cause us to hear it, that we may 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; that thou shouldst say, Who will go over the sea for us, and fetch it unto us, and cause us to hear it, that we may 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.
But the word is very nigh unto thee, in thy mouth, and in thy heart, that thou mayest 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.
See, I have set before thee this day life and the good, death and the 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.
In that I command thee this day to love the Lord thy God, to walk in his ways, and to keep his commandments and his statutes and his ordinances; that thou mayest live and multiply; and that the Lord thy God may bless thee in the land whither thou goest to possess 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 turn away, so that thou wilt not hearken, and thou sufferest thyself to be drawn away, and thou bowest down to other gods, and servest 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 announce unto you this day, that ye shall surely perish; ye shall not remain many days upon the land, whither thou passest over the Jordan to go thither to possess 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 heaven and earth as witnesses against you this day, that I have set before you life and death, the blessing and the curse; therefore choose thou life, in order that thou mayest live, both thou and thy seed;
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 to cleave unto him; for he is thy life, and the length of thy days; that thou mayest dwell in the land which the Lord swore unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give unto them.
