Deteronòm 6
1 Koulye a, men kòmandman, lòd ak prensip Seyè a, Bondye nou an, te mande pou yo moutre nou, pou nou te ka swiv yo nan peyi kote nou pral antre pou nou pran pou nou an.
These now are the commandements, ordinances, and lawes, which the Lord your God commanded me to teach you, that ye might doe them in the land whither ye go to possesse it:
2 Konsa, ni nou menm, ni pitit nou yo, ni pitit pitit nou yo, n'a gen krentif pou Seyè a, Bondye nou an, n'a kenbe tout lòd ak tout kòmandman li ban nou yo, chak jou nan lavi nou. Se konsa n'a viv lontan.
That thou mightest feare the Lord thy God, and keepe all his ordinances, and his commandements which I commaund thee, thou, and thy sonne, and thy sonnes sonne all the dayes of thy life, euen that thy dayes may be prolonged.
3 Koute byen sa m'ap di nou, nou menm pèp Izrayèl! Pa bliye yo. Fè tou sa mwen di nou fè. Se sa ki va fè nou viv ak kè kontan. Se sa ki va fè nou tounen yon gran nasyon nan bon peyi sa a, kote lèt ak siwo myèl ap koule tankou dlo, jan Seyè a, Bondye zansèt nou yo, te di l' la.
Heare therefore, O Israel, and take heede to doe it, that it may go well with thee, and that ye may increase mightily in the land that floweth with milke and hony, as the Lord God of thy fathers hath promised thee.
4 Koute byen, nou menm pep Izrayèl! Seyè a, Bondye nou an, se li ki sèl mèt.
Heare, O Israel, The Lord our God is Lord onely,
5 Se pou nou renmen Seyè a, Bondye nou an, avèk tout kè nou, avèk tout nanm nou, avèk tout fòs kouraj nou.
And thou shalt loue the Lord thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soule, and with all thy might.
6 Pa janm bliye kòmandman m'ap ban nou jòdi a.
And these wordes which I commaund thee this day, shalbe in thine heart.
7 N'a moutre yo bay pitit nou yo. N'a repete yo nan zòrèy yo, kit nou chita lakay nou, kit n'ap mache sou granchemen, kit nou kouche nan kabann nou, kit nou kanpe ap travay.
And thou shalt rehearse them continually vnto thy children, and shalt talke of them when thou tariest in thine house, and as thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest downe, and when thou risest vp:
8 Mare yo sou ponyèt nou ak sou fwon nou pou nou sa pa janm bliye yo.
And thou shalt binde them for a signe vpon thine hand, and they shalbe as frontlets betweene thine eyes.
9 N'a ekri yo sou chanbrann pòt lakay nou ak sou pòtay lavil nou yo.
Also thou shalt write them vpon ye postes of thine house, and vpon thy gates.
10 Seyè a pral kenbe pwomès li te fè Abraram, Izarak ak Jakòb, zansèt nou yo, li pral fè nou antre nan peyi li te fè sèman l'ap ban nou an. Se yon peyi kote n'a jwenn gwo bèl lavil nou pa t' bati,
And when the Lord thy God hath brought thee into the land, which he sware vnto thy fathers, Abraham, Izhak, and Iaakob, to giue to thee, with great and goodly cities which thou buildedst not,
11 kote n'a jwenn kay plen bon bagay san se pa nou menm ki te mete yo la, avèk pi byen fon nou pa t' fouye, avèk jaden rezen ak jaden oliv nou pa t' plante. Lè sa a, lè n'a fin manje plen vant nou,
And houses full of all maner of goods which thou filledst not, and welles digged which thou diggedst not, vineyards and oliue trees which thou plantedst not, and when thou hast eaten and art full,
12 fè atansyon pou nou pa bliye Seyè a, li menm ki te fè nou soti kite peyi Lejip kote nou te esklav la.
Beware least thou forget the Lord, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage.
13 Se pou Seyè a, Bondye nou an, ase pou nou gen krentif. Se li menm ase pou nou sèvi. Se non li sèlman pou nou pran pou fè sèman.
Thou shalt feare the Lord thy God, and serue him, and shalt sweare by his Name.
14 Pa kouri dèyè lòt bondye. Piga n' al sèvi bondye pèp k'ap viv toupre nou yo.
Ye shall not walke after other gods, after any of the gods of the people which are round about you,
15 Paske Seyè a, Bondye ki rete nan mitan nou an, se yon Bondye ki fè jalouzi anpil. Si nou fè sa, l'a fache sou nou, l'a disparèt nou nèt sou latè.
(For the Lord thy God is a ielous God among you: ) least the wrath of the Lord thy God be kindled against thee, and destroy thee from the face of the earth.
16 Piga nou sonde Seyè a, Bondye nou an, jan nou te fè l' bò Masa a.
Ye shall not tempt the Lord your God, as ye did tempt him in Massah:
17 Se pou nou kenbe tout kòmandman Seyè a ansanm ak tout lòd ak tout prensip li ban nou pou nou swiv.
But ye shall keepe diligently the commandements of the Lord your God, and his testimonies, and his ordinances which he hath commanded thee,
18 N'a fè sa ki dwat ak sa ki byen nan je Bondye pou nou ka gen kè kontan, pou nou ka pran bèl peyi Seyè a te fè sèman l'ap bay zansèt nou yo,
And thou shalt doe that which is right and good in the sight of the Lord: that thou mayest prosper, and that thou mayest go in, and possesse that good land which the Lord sware vnto thy fathers,
19 pou nou ka chase tout lènmi nou yo devan nou, jan li te pwomèt la.
To cast out all thine enemies before thee, as the Lord hath sayd.
20 Yon jou, lè pitit nou yo va mande nou poukisa Seyè a, Bondye nou an, mande nou pou nou swiv tout lòd, tout prensip ak tout kòmandman sa yo,
When thy sonne shall aske thee in time to come, saying, What meane these testimonies, and ordinances, and Lawes, which the Lord our God hath commanded you?
21 lè sa a, n'a di yo: Nou te esklav farawon an nan peyi Lejip. Seyè a te fè nou soti kite peyi Lejip la avèk fòs ponyèt li.
Then shalt thou say vnto thy sonne, We were Pharaohs bondmen in Egypt: but the Lord brought vs out of Egypt with a mightie hand.
22 Nou te wè ak je nou tout mèvèy ak tout mirak li te fè pou kraze peyi Lejip, ansanm ak farawon an ak tout moun pa l' yo.
And the Lord shewed signes and wonders great and euill vpon Egypt, vpon Pharaoh, and vpon all his housholde, before our eyes,
23 Men nou menm, li fè nou soti kote nou te ye a, li mennen nou nan peyi li te pwomèt zansèt nou yo, epi li ban nou li.
And brought vs out from thence, to bring vs in, and to giue vs the land which he sware vnto our fathers.
24 Apre sa, Seyè a, Bondye nou an, te pase nou lòd pou nou kenbe tout prensip sa yo. Konsa, n'a gen krentif pou li, n'a viv ak kè kontan, epi l'a konsève lavi nou jan li fè sa pou nou jouk koulye a.
Therefore the Lord hath commanded vs, to doe all these ordinances, and to feare the Lord our God, that it may goe euer well with vs, and that he may preserue vs aliue as at this present.
25 Si nou vle fè Bondye plezi, se pou nou fè atansyon pou nou swiv tout kòmandman sa yo nèt, se pou nou mache devan Seyè a, Bondye nou an, jan li te mande nou an.
Moreouer, this shall be our righteousnes before the Lord our God, if we take heede to keepe all these commandements, as he hath commanded vs.
