Deteronòm 31
1 Moyiz pale ankò ak tout pèp Izrayèl la, li di yo:
And Moses went and spoke these words to all Israel.
2 -Koulye a, mwen gen sanventan sou tèt mwen. Mwen pa gen fòs pou m' fè anyen ankò. Lèfini, Seyè a te tou di m' mwen p'ap janbe lòt bò larivyè Jouden an.
And he said to them, I am an hundred and twenty years old this day; I can no more go out and come in: also the LORD has said to me, You shall not go over this Jordan.
3 Seyè a, Bondye nou an, se li menm ki pral pran devan nou. L'ap detwi tout nasyon sa yo devan je nou pou nou ka pran peyi yo pou nou: Se Jozye ki va mache devan nou, jan Seyè a te di l' la.
The LORD your God, he will go over before you, and he will destroy these nations from before you, and you shall possess them: and Joshua, he shall go over before you, as the LORD has said.
4 Seyè a va detwi nasyon sa yo nèt, menm jan li te detwi Siyon ak Og, wa peyi Amori yo, ansanm ak tout moun nan peyi yo a nèt ale.
And the LORD shall do to them as he did to Sihon and to Og, kings of the Amorites, and to the land of them, whom he destroyed.
5 Seyè a pral lage yo nan men nou. Lè sa a, se pou nou aji avèk yo jan Seyè a te ban nou lòd aji ak yo a.
And the LORD shall give them up before your face, that you may do to them according to all the commandments which I have commanded you.
6 Se pou nou vanyan. Se pou nou mete gason sou nou! Nou pa bezwen pè. Pa tranble lè yo parèt devan nou. Seyè a, Bondye nou an, kanpe la avèk nou. Li p'ap janm lage nou, li p'ap janm kite nou pou kont nou.
Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for the LORD your God, he it is that does go with you; he will not fail you, nor forsake you.
7 Apre sa, Moyiz rele Jozye, li pale avè l' devan tout pèp Izrayèl la, li di l' konsa: -Mete gason sou ou! Se pou ou vanyan! Paske se ou menm ki pral alatèt pèp la pou l' antre pran peyi Seyè a te fè sèman l'ap bay zansèt yo a.
And Moses called to Joshua, and said to him in the sight of all Israel, Be strong and of a good courage: for you must go with this people to the land which the LORD has sworn to their fathers to give them; and you shall cause them to inherit it.
8 Seyè a va pran devan ou, l'a kanpe la avè ou. Li p'ap janm lage ou, li p'ap kite ou pou kont ou: Ou pa bezwen pè. Ou pa bezwen tranble.
And the LORD, he it is that does go before you; he will be with you, he will not fail you, neither forsake you: fear not, neither be dismayed.
9 Apre sa, Moyiz ekri tout lalwa a, epi li renmèt li bay prèt yo, moun fanmi Levi yo ki te reskonsab Bwat Kontra Seyè a, ansanm ak tout chèf fanmi pèp Izrayèl la.
And Moses wrote this law, and delivered it to the priests the sons of Levi, which bore the ark of the covenant of the LORD, and to all the elders of Israel.
10 Moyiz ba yo lòd sa a: -Chak sètan, lè lanne pou yo renmèt dèt yo va rive, pandan y'ap fete fèt Joupa yo.
And Moses commanded them, saying, At the end of every seven years, in the solemnity of the year of release, in the feast of tabernacles,
11 lè tout pèp Izrayèl la va vin adore Seyè a, Bondye nou an, nan kote li te chwazi pou sa a, n'a li tout liv lalwa a byen fò devan yo tout, pou yo ka tande l' nan zòrèy yo.
When all Israel is come to appear before the LORD your God in the place which he shall choose, you shall read this law before all Israel in their hearing.
12 N'a sanble tout moun, fanm kou gason, timoun kou granmoun, ansanm ak moun lòt nasyon k'ap viv nan lavil nou yo, pou yo ka tande l', pou yo ka aprann gen krentif pou Seyè a, Bondye nou an, pou yo kenbe lalwa a, epi pou yo fè tou sa ki ladan l'.
Gather the people together, men and women, and children, and your stranger that is within your gates, that they may hear, and that they may learn, and fear the LORD your God, and observe to do all the words of this law:
13 Se konsa, pitit yo ki pa t' janm konn lalwa a va tande l'. Y'a aprann gen krentif pou Seyè a, Bondye nou an, chak jou pandan tout tan n'ap viv nan peyi nou pral pran pou nou an, lè n'a janbe lòt bò larivyè Jouden an.
And that their children, which have not known any thing, may hear, and learn to fear the LORD your God, as long as you live in the land where you go over Jordan to possess it.
14 Lè sa a, Seyè a di Moyiz konsa: -Ou pa lwen mouri. Rele Jozye. Vini ansanm avè l' nan Tant Randevou a pou m' ka ba li lòd sa pou l' fè. Se konsa, Moyiz ak Jozye al kanpe nan Tant Randevou a.
And the LORD said to Moses, Behold, your days approach that you must die: call Joshua, and present yourselves in the tabernacle of the congregation, that I may give him a charge. And Moses and Joshua went, and presented themselves in the tabernacle of the congregation.
15 Seyè a parèt devan yo anndan Tant Randevou a, nan yon nwaj ki te gen fòm yon gwo poto devan pòt tant lan.
And the LORD appeared in the tabernacle in a pillar of a cloud: and the pillar of the cloud stood over the door of the tabernacle.
16 Seyè a di Moyiz: -Ou pral mouri. Ou pa lwen al jwenn zansèt ou yo ki mouri deja. Men, apre ou fin mouri, pèp la pral leve, yo pral vire do ban mwen pou y' al kouri dèyè lòt bondye y'ap sèvi nan peyi lòt nasyon kote nou pral antre a. Wi, yo pral lage m', yo pral kase kontra m' te pase avèk yo a.
And the LORD said to Moses, Behold, you shall sleep with your fathers; and this people will rise up, and go a whoring after the gods of the strangers of the land, where they go to be among them, and will forsake me, and break my covenant which I have made with them.
17 Lè sa va rive, m'a fè yon sèl kòlè anwo yo, m'a lage yo tout, mwen p'ap okipe yo ankò. Se peri y'a peri. Tout kalite malè ak lafliksyon pral tonbe sou yo. Se lè sa a y'a blije rekonèt se paske Bondye yo a pa la nan mitan yo ankò kifè tout malè sa yo rive yo.
Then my anger shall be kindled against them in that day, and I will forsake them, and I will hide my face from them, and they shall be devoured, and many evils and troubles shall befall them; so that they will say in that day, Are not these evils come on us, because our God is not among us?
18 Men malgre sa, mwen menm m'a refize ede yo paske yo te fè twòp bagay mal lè yo te al kouri dèyè lòt bondye.
And I will surely hide my face in that day for all the evils which they shall have worked, in that they are turned to other gods.
19 Koulye a, ekri chante sa a. W'a moutre tout moun pèp Izrayèl yo li, pou l' ka nan bouch yo tout, epi pou l' sa sèvi m' temwen kont yo.
Now therefore write you this song for you, and teach it the children of Israel: put it in their mouths, that this song may be a witness for me against the children of Israel.
20 Lè m'ap fè yo antre nan peyi mwen te pwomèt bay zansèt yo a, peyi kote lèt ak siwo myèl ap koule tankou dlo a, m'a fè yo manje plen vant yo, y'a viv alèz. Men, y'a kouri dèyè lòt bondye, y'a sèvi yo. Men mwen menm, y'a voye m' jete, y'a kraze kontra mwen te pase ak yo a.
For when I shall have brought them into the land which I swore to their fathers, that flows with milk and honey; and they shall have eaten and filled themselves, and waxen fat; then will they turn to other gods, and serve them, and provoke me, and break my covenant.
21 Konsa, lè tout kalite malè ak lafliksyon va tonbe sou yo, chante sa a va sèvi m' temwen, l'ap toujou nan bouch yo, paske pitit yo p'ap janm bliye l'. Wi, depi koulye a, anvan menm mwen fè yo antre nan peyi mwen te pwomèt yo a, mwen konnen sa yo gen nan tèt yo.
And it shall come to pass, when many evils and troubles are befallen them, that this song shall testify against them as a witness; for it shall not be forgotten out of the mouths of their seed: for I know their imagination which they go about, even now, before I have brought them into the land which I swore.
22 Menm jou sa a, Moyiz ekri chante a epi li moutre tout moun pèp Izrayèl yo li.
Moses therefore wrote this song the same day, and taught it the children of Israel.
23 Apre sa, Seyè a bay Jozye, pitit gason Noun lan, lòd li yo. Li di l' konsa: -Mete gason sou ou. Se pou ou vanyan. Paske se ou menm ki pou fè moun pèp Izrayèl yo antre nan peyi mwen te pwomèt m'ap ba yo a. M'ap kanpe la avè ou.
And he gave Joshua the son of Nun a charge, and said, Be strong and of a good courage: for you shall bring the children of Israel into the land which I swore to them: and I will be with you.
24 Lè Moyiz fin ekri tout pawòl lalwa Bondye a nan yon liv san li pa sote anyen,
And it came to pass, when Moses had made an end of writing the words of this law in a book, until they were finished,
25 li rele moun Levi ki te reskonsab pou pote Bwat Kontra Seyè a, li di yo konsa:
That Moses commanded the Levites, which bore the ark of the covenant of the LORD, saying,
26 -Pran liv lalwa a, mete l' sou kote Bwat Kontra Seyè a, Bondye nou an. L'a rete la, l'a sèvi temwen kont nou.
Take this book of the law, and put it in the side of the ark of the covenant of the LORD your God, that it may be there for a witness against you.
27 Mwen konnen jan nou gen tèt di, jan nou pa vle koute. Si koulye a, pandan mwen vivan ankò nan mitan nou an, nou te kenbe tèt ak Seyè a konsa, lè m'a mouri menm se va pi rèd.
For I know your rebellion, and your stiff neck: behold, while I am yet alive with you this day, you have been rebellious against the LORD; and how much more after my death?
28 Sanble bò kote m' tout chèf fanmi nou yo ak tout chèf branch fanmi nou yo pou m' fè yo tande pawòl sa yo. Mwen pral pran syèl la ak latè a sèvi m' temwen sa mwen pral di nou la a.
Gather to me all the elders of your tribes, and your officers, that I may speak these words in their ears, and call heaven and earth to record against them.
29 Paske mwen konnen, lè m'a mouri, nou pral lage kò nou nan fè move bagay, nou pral kite chemen mwen te louvri devan nou an. Lè sa a, malè pral tonbe sou nou, paske nou te fè sa ki mal nan je Seyè a, nou te eksite kòlè li avèk tout move bagay nou t'ap fè yo.
For I know that after my death you will utterly corrupt yourselves, and turn aside from the way which I have commanded you; and evil will befall you in the latter days; because you will do evil in the sight of the LORD, to provoke him to anger through the work of your hands.
30 Lè sa a, Moyiz pran resite byen fò tout chante sa a, depi nan konmansman jouk li bout, devan tout moun pèp Izrayèl yo ki te reyini pou yo te ka tande sa l'ap di a.
And Moses spoke in the ears of all the congregation of Israel the words of this song, until they were ended.
