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, O ye heavens, and I will speak; and hear, O earth, 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 herb, and as the showers upon the grass:
3 Mwen pral fè lwanj Seyè a! Rekonèt jan Bondye nou an gen pouvwa!
Because I will proclaim the name of the LORD: 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.
He is the Rock, his work is perfect: for all his ways are judgment: a God of truth 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 corrupted themselves, their spot is not the spot of his children: they are 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 repay the LORD, O foolish people and unwise? is not he thy father that hath bought thee? hath he not 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; thy 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 divided to the nations their inheritance, when he separated the sons of Adam, he set the bounds of the people according to the number of the children of Israel.
9 Men, li chwazi pitit Jakòb yo pou li. Se yo ki pèp pa l' la menm.
For the LORD’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 led him about, he instructed 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 stirreth up her nest, fluttereth over her young, spreadeth abroad her wings, taketh them, beareth them on her wings:
12 Seyè a sèl chèf yo. Li pa bezwen lòt bondye pou ede l'.
So the LORD alone did lead him, and there was no strange 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, that he might eat the increase of the fields; 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 cattle, and milk of sheep, with fat of lambs, and rams of the breed of Bashan, and goats, with the fat of kidneys of wheat; and thou didst drink the pure blood of the grape.
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 hast become fat, thou art grown thick, thou art covered with fatness; 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 provoked 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 to God; to gods which they knew not, to new gods that came newly up, whom your fathers feared not.
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.
Of the Rock that begat thee thou art unmindful, and hast forgotten God that formed thee.
19 Lè Seyè a wè sa, li fache. Li fè kòlè sou pitit gason l' yo ak sou pitit fi l' yo!
And when the LORD saw it, he abhorred them, because of the provoking of his sons, and of 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, children in whom is no faith.
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 those who are not a people; 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 shall burn to the lowest hell, and shall consume the earth with her increase, and set 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 mischiefs 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.
They shall be burnt with hunger, and devoured with burning heat, and with bitter destruction: I will also send the teeth of beasts upon them, with the poison of serpents 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.
The sword without, and terror within, shall destroy both the young man and the virgin, the suckling also 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 into corners, 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 wrath of the enemy, lest their adversaries should behave themselves strangely, and lest they should say, Our hand is high, and the LORD hath 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, neither is there any understanding in them.
29 Si yo te gen konprann, yo ta louvri je yo, yo ta wè sa ki pral rive yo.
O 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, except their Rock had sold them, and the LORD had shut 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 dragons, 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, and 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.
To me belongeth vengeance, and recompence; their foot shall slide in due time: for the day of their calamity is at hand, and the things that shall come upon them 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 the LORD shall judge his people, and repent for his servants, when he seeth that their power is gone, and there is none shut up, or left.
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 shall say, Where are their gods, their rock in whom they trusted,
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 offerings? let them rise up and help you, and 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: neither is there any 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, I live for ever.
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 shall whet my glittering sword, and my hand take hold on judgment; I will render vengeance to my enemies, and will reward them that 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; and that with the blood of the slain and of the captives, from the beginning of revenges upon 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 nations, with his people: for he will avenge the blood of his servants, and will render vengeance to his adversaries, and will be merciful to his land, and to 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 Hoshea the son of Nun.
45 Lè Moyiz fin bay pèp Izrayèl la tout pawòl sa yo,
And Moses finished 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 hearts to all the words which I testify among you this day, which ye shall command your children to observe to do, 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 not a 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 Jordan to possess it.
48 Menm jou sa a, Seyè a pale ak Moyiz, li di l' konsa:
And the LORD spoke to Moses that same 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.
Go up to this mountain 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 children 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 in the mount where thou goest, 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 among the children of Israel at the waters of Meribah-Kadesh, in the wilderness of Zin; because ye sanctified me not in the midst of the children 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'.
Yet thou shalt see the land before thee; but thou shalt not go there to the land which I give the children of Israel.
