Deteronòm 32
1 Ou menm syèl, tande sa mwen pral di la a! Koute byen, ou menm latè, pawòl ki pral soti nan bouch mwen!
Give ear, ye heavens, and I will speak, and let the earth hear the words of my mouth.
2 Sa m'ap di a pral tonbe tankou grenn lapli! Pawòl mwen yo pral tankou lawouze k'ap tonbe sou latè. Pawòl nan bouch mwen pral tankou bèl lapli k'ap tonbe sou jenn plant yo, tankou yon ti lapli nò k'ap tonbe sou zèb gazon.
My doctrine shall drop as the rain. My speech shall distil as the dew, as the small rain upon the tender grass, and as the showers upon the herb.
3 Mwen pral fè lwanj Seyè a! Rekonèt jan Bondye nou an gen pouvwa!
For I will proclaim the name of Jehovah. Ascribe ye greatness to our God.
4 Se Seyè a k'ap pwoteje nou. Tou sa li fè bon nèt. Li pa nan patipri nan anyen l'ap fè. Bondye nou an ap toujou kenbe pawòl li Li pa nan bay manti. Li fè sa ki dwat, li pa fè ankenn lenjistis.
The Rock, his work is perfect, for all his ways are justice, a God of faithfulness and without iniquity, just and right is he.
5 Se yo menm, pèp li a, ki pa kenbe pawòl yo, bagay yon bon pitit Bondye pa ta janm fè. Se yon bann mechan k'ap mache twonpe moun.
They have dealt corruptly with him. They are not his sons, it is their blemish, a perverse and crooked generation.
6 Se konsa nou di Seyè a mèsi pou sa l' fè pou nou, bann moun fou san konprann? Se pa li ki papa nou? Se pa li ki kreye nou? Se pa li ki fè nou sa nou ye a? Se pa li ki ban nou lavi?
Do ye thus requite Jehovah, O foolish people and unwise? Is not he thy father who has bought thee? He has made thee, and established thee.
7 Chonje tan lontan! Repase tèt nou sou tan lontan! Mande papa nou pou li di nou sak te pase. Mande granmoun lontan yo rakonte nou istwa tan lontan.
Remember the days of old. Consider the years of many generations. Ask thy father, and he will show thee, thine elders, and they will tell thee.
8 Lè Bondye ki anwo nan syèl la t'ap bay chak nasyon pòsyon ki pou yo, lè li t'ap bay kote pou chak moun rete sou latè, li fikse fwontyè tout peyi dapre kantite moun li te mete sou latè.
When the Most High gave to the nations their inheritance, when he separated the sons of men, he set the bounds of the peoples according to the number of the sons of Israel.
9 Men, li chwazi pitit Jakòb yo pou li. Se yo ki pèp pa l' la menm.
For Jehovah's portion is his people. Jacob is the lot of his inheritance.
10 Li te jwenn yo nan dezè a, kote moun pa rete, kote van an ap soufle san rete. Li pran yo nan bra l', li pran swen yo, li pwoteje yo tankou de grenn je nan tèt li.
He found him in a desert land, and in the waste howling wilderness. He compassed him about. He cared for him. He kept him as the apple of his eye.
11 Tankou malfini k'ap moutre pitit li vole, Seyè a ap plane anwo pitit li yo. Li louvri zèl li yo pou li ka pran swen yo, li pote yo sou do l' pou yo pa tonbe.
As an eagle that stirs up her nest, that flutters over her young, he spread abroad his wings. He took them. He bore them on his pinions.
12 Seyè a sèl chèf yo. Li pa bezwen lòt bondye pou ede l'.
Jehovah alone led him, and there was no foreign god with him.
13 Li fè yo mache an grannèg sou tèt mòn peyi a. Li fè yo manje grenn bwa nan savann. Yo jwenn siwo myèl nan tou wòch pou yo bwè. Pye oliv yo donnen nan wòch karyann.
He made him ride on the high places of the earth, and he ate the increase of the field, and he made him to suck honey out of the rock, and oil out of the flinty rock,
14 Bèf yo ak mouton yo ap bay lèt an kantite. Y'a manje vyann mouton gra, vyann belye Bazan ak vyann bouk kabrit. Y'a manje pi bon kalite farin frans, y'a bwè ji rezen pou diven.
butter of the herd, and milk of the flock, with fat of lambs, and rams of the breed of Bashan, and goats, with the finest of the wheat, and of the blood of the grape thou drank wine.
15 Pitit Jakòb yo manje plen vant yo! Yo vin gra, y'ap pete nan po yo, yo konmanse voye pye. Yo voye Bondye ki te fè yo a jete. Yo vire do bay Bondye ki t'ap pwoteje yo a, Bondye ki te delivre yo a.
But Jeshurun grew fat, and kicked. Thou have grown fat. Thou have grown thick. Thou have become sleek. Then he forsook God who made him, and lightly esteemed the Rock of his salvation.
16 Y' al adore bondye lòt nasyon. Yo fè Seyè a fè jalouzi, y' al fè sa ki mal, yo fè l' fè kòlè.
They moved him to jealousy with strange gods. With abominations they provoked him to anger.
17 Y' al ofri bèt pou yo touye bay zidòl ki pa bondye tout bon, yon kalite bondye yo pa t' janm konnen anvan, lòt bondye ki fèk parèt, bondye zansèt yo pa t' janm gen krentif.
They sacrificed to demons, not God, to gods that they knew not, to new gods that came up of late, which your fathers did not dread.
18 Yo bliye Bondye ki te pwoteje yo, Bondye ki papa yo a. Yo pa chonje Bondye ki te fè yo, Bondye ki te ba yo lavi a.
Thou are unmindful of the Rock that begot thee, and have forgotten God who gave thee birth.
19 Lè Seyè a wè sa, li fache. Li fè kòlè sou pitit gason l' yo ak sou pitit fi l' yo!
And Jehovah saw, and abhorred, because of the provocation of his sons and his daughters.
20 Li di: mwen pral vire do m' ba yo. M'a wè sa ki pral rive yo. Se yon bann moun ki plen vis, yon bann pitit ou pa ka fin fye nèt.
And he said, I will hide my face from them. I will see what their end shall be. For they are a very perverse generation, sons in whom is no faithfulness.
21 Yo fè m' fè jalouzi, y' al adore yon bondye ki pa bondye tout bon. Yo fè m' fè kòlè, y' al fè sèvis pou zidòl ki pa vo anyen. Enben, mwen menm, mwen pral fè yo fè jalouzi pou yon pèp ki pa menm yon pèp. M'ap fè yo fè kòlè pou yon nasyon moun ki san konprann.
They have moved me to jealousy with that which is not God. They have provoked me to anger with their vanities, and I will move them to jealousy with a non-nation. I will provoke them to anger with a foolish nation.
22 Lè m' an kòlè, se tankou yon gwo dife k'ap flanbe. Mwen boule tou sa ki sou latè. Mwen desann byen fon kote mò yo ye anba tè a. M'ap mete dife jouk nan rasin mòn yo. (Sheol h7585)
For a fire is kindled in my anger, and burns to the lowest Sheol, and devours the earth with its increase, and sets on fire the foundations of the mountains. (Sheol h7585)
23 M'ap fè yon seri malè tonbe sou yo. M'ap voye tout flèch mwen yo sou yo.
I will heap evils upon them. I will spend my arrows upon them,
24 Y'a mouri grangou. Lafyèb va fini ak yo. Move maladi va minen yo. M'a voye bèt nan bwa atake yo. M'a voye sèpan ak pwazon venen pou touye yo.
to be wasted with hunger, and devoured with burning heat and bitter destruction. And I will send upon them the teeth of beasts, with the poison of crawling things of the dust.
25 Nan lari, y'a touye pitit pitit gason yo nan goumen. Moun ki anndan kay va sitèlman pè, kè yo va rete. Jenn gason ak jenn fi va mouri menm jan an tou. Depi timoun nan tete jouk granmoun cheve blan, pesonn p'ap chape.
Outside the sword shall bereave, and in the chambers terror, to both young man and virgin, the suckling with the man of gray hairs.
26 Mwen te di mwen tapral detwi yo nèt, pou pesonn pa janm chonje yo ankò sou latè.
I said, I would scatter them afar, I would make the remembrance of them to cease from among men,
27 Men, mwen pa ta vle kite lènmi yo pran pye sou yo. Mwen pa ta renmen pou moun ki pa vle wè m' yo mete nan tèt yo se yo menm ak fòs kouraj yo ki fè sa, pou yo pa di: Seyè a pa gen anyen pou l' wè nan sa.
were it not that I feared the provocation of the enemy, lest their adversaries should judge amiss, lest they should say, Our hand is exalted, and Jehovah has not done all this.
28 Pèp Izrayèl la, se yon pèp ki pèdi bonnanj yo. Yo pa gen konprann.
For they are a nation void of counsel, and there is no understanding in them.
29 Si yo te gen konprann, yo ta louvri je yo, yo ta wè sa ki pral rive yo.
Oh that they were wise, that they understood this, that they would consider their latter end!
30 Kouman ou ta vle pou yon sèl grenn lènmi fè mil ladan yo kouri, pou de grenn lènmi fè dimil ladan yo kraze rak? Se sèlman paske Seyè a lage yo, paske moun ki te konn pwoteje yo a vire do ba yo.
How should one chase a thousand, and two put ten thousand to flight unless their Rock had sold them, and Jehovah had delivered them up?
31 Lènmi yo konn byen pwòp bondye k'ap pwoteje yo a pa ka parèt devan Bondye pèp Izrayèl la.
For their rock is not as our Rock, even our enemies themselves being judges.
32 Ou ta di se menm ras moun Sodòm ak Gomò yo ye. Yo tankou pye rezen k'ap donnen rezen anmè, rezen ki plen pwazon.
For their vine is of the vine of Sodom, and of the fields of Gomorrah. Their grapes are grapes of gall, their clusters are bitter.
33 Diven yo tankou pwazon nan bouch sèpan, venen nan bouch sèpan aspik k'ap touye moun frèt.
Their wine is the poison of serpents, and the cruel venom of asps.
34 Seyè a konnen tou sa lènmi te fè pèp la. L'ap tann lè a rive pou l' pini yo.
Is not this laid up in store with me, sealed up among my treasures?
35 Se Seyè a k'ap tire revanj sou yo, se li k'ap fè yo peye sa yo fè a, lè lè a va rive pou yo tonbe. Jou pou yo detwi yo a pa lwen. Sa ki pare pou yo a fin rive.
Vengeance is for me, and recompense at the time when their foot shall slide. For the day of their calamity is at hand, and the things that are to come upon them shall make haste.
36 Seyè a pral pran defans pèp li a, lè l'a wè tout fòs yo fin desann. Li pral gen pitye pou sèvitè l' yo, lè l'a wè pa gen anpil ankò ki rete, ni anndan peyi a, ni deyò.
For Jehovah will judge his people, and regrets for his servants, when he sees that their power is gone, and there is none remaining, shut up or left at large.
37 Lè sa a, Seyè a va mande: -Kote bondye yo a, sa ki te konn pwoteje yo a? bondye yo te konn al jwenn pou pran defans yo a?
And he will say, Where are their gods, the rock in which they took refuge,
38 Se pa yo ki te konn manje grès bèt nou te konn ofri yo? Se pa yo ki te konn bwè diven nou te konn vide sou lòtèl yo? Se pou yo vin koulye a, se pou yo vin delivre nou! Se pou yo kouri vin pwoteje nou!
which ate the fat of their sacrifices, and drank the wine of their drink offering? Let them rise up and help you, let them be your protection.
39 Se mwen menm, mwen menm sèl ki Bondye. Pa gen lòt bondye pase mwen menm. Mwen bay lavi, mwen pran lavi jan m' vle. Lè mwen bay maladi, se mwen ki pou bay gerizon. Pa gen moun ki ka delivre pesonn anba men mwen.
See now that I, even I, am he, and there is no god with me. I kill, and I make alive. I wound, and I heal. And there is none that can deliver out of my hand.
40 Men m'ap leve men m' anlè, mwen fè sèman: Menm jan nou wè m' vivan pou tout tan an,
For I lift up my hand to heaven, and say, As I live forever,
41 lè m'a file bèl nepe klere mwen an, lè m'a soti pou m' rann jistis, m'a tire revanj mwen sou lènmi m' yo, m'a bay moun ki pa vle wè m' yo sa yo merite.
if I whet my glittering sword, and my hand takes hold on judgment, I will render vengeance to my adversaries, and will recompense those who hate me.
42 Flèch mwen yo pral tranpe nan san, nan san moun blese yo ak san prizonye yo. Nepe mwen ap koupe moun san gad dèyè, l'ap koupe tèt tout chèf lènmi yo.
I will make my arrows drunk with blood, and my sword shall devour flesh, with the blood of the slain and the captives, from the head of the leaders of the enemy.
43 Nou menm nasyon ki sou latè, fè kè nou kontan ak pèp Bondye chwazi a! Paske Seyè a pral tire revanj pou lanmò sèvitè l' yo. L'a bay moun ki pa vle wè l' yo sa yo merite. L'a wete tout vye bagay ki t'ap fèt nan peyi pèp li a.
Rejoice, O ye Gentiles, with his people. For he will avenge the blood of his servants, and will render vengeance to his adversaries, and will recompense those who hate him, and will make expiation for his land, for his people.
44 Moyiz ak Jozye, pitit gason Noun lan, te repete tout pawòl chante sa a byen fò pou tout pèp la te tande.
And Moses came and spoke all the words of this song in the ears of the people, he and Joshua the son of Nun.
45 Lè Moyiz fin bay pèp Izrayèl la tout pawòl sa yo,
And Moses made an end of speaking all these words to all Israel.
46 li di yo konsa: -Se pou nou koute tout kòmandman m'ap ban nou jòdi a. Y'a sèvi m' temwen mwen te fè nou konnen yo. Nou menm, n'a pase pitit nou yo lòd pou yo kenbe yo, pou yo swiv tout pawòl ki nan lalwa Bondye a.
And he said to them, Set your heart to all the words which I testify to you this day, which ye shall command your sons to observe to do, even all the words of this law.
47 Paske, se pa pawòl nou ka pran konsa konsa. Se lavi yo ye pou nou. Se yo menm k'ap fè nou viv lontan nan peyi nou pral pran pou nou an, lè n'a fin janbe lòt bò larivyè Jouden an.
For it is no vain thing for you, because it is your life, and through this thing ye shall prolong your days in the land where ye go over the Jordan to possess it.
48 Menm jou sa a, Seyè a pale ak Moyiz, li di l' konsa:
And Jehovah spoke to Moses that selfsame day, saying,
49 -Ale nan chenn mòn Abarim yo, ki nan peyi Moab anfas lavil Jeriko a. Moute sou mòn Nebo. Antan ou la, w'a voye je ou, w'a gade, w'a wè peyi Kanaran an, peyi mwen pral bay moun pèp Izrayèl yo pou yo rete a.
Get thee up onto this mountain of Abarim, to mount Nebo, which is in the land of Moab, that is opposite Jericho, and behold the land of Canaan, which I give to the sons of Israel for a possession.
50 Ou pral mouri sou mòn kote ou pral moute a, ou pral jwenn moun pa ou yo ki deja mouri, menm jan sa te rive Arawon, frè ou la, ki te mouri sou mòn Or la, epi ki te al jwenn moun pa l' yo ki deja mouri.
And die on the mount where thou go up, and be gathered to thy people, as Aaron thy brother died in mount Hor, and was gathered to his people,
51 Nou tou de, nou pa t' fè sa m' te di nou fè devan pèp Izrayèl la, lè yo te bò sous dlo Meriba yo, bò lavil Kadès, nan dezè Zin lan. Nou te manke m' respe devan tout pèp Izrayèl la.
because ye trespassed against me in the midst of the sons of Israel at the waters of Meribah of Kadesh, in the wilderness of Zin, because ye did not sanctify me in the midst of the sons of Israel.
52 Se poutèt sa, w'a rete byen lwen, w'a wè peyi mwen pral bay moun pèp Izrayèl yo anba nan pye ou. Men ou menm, ou p'ap mete pye ou ladan l'.
For thou shall see the land before thee, but thou shall not go there into the land which I give the sons of Israel.
