Deteronòm 7
1 Seyè a, Bondye nou an, pral fè nou antre nan peyi nou pral pran pou nou an. Li pral fè sèt nasyon ki gen plis moun pase nou, ki pi fò pase nou, kouri met deyò devan nou, ki vle di moun Et yo, moun Gigach yo, moun Amori yo, moun Kanaran yo, moun Perèz yo, moun Evi yo ak moun Jebis yo.
When the Lord thy God shall have brought thee into the land, which thou art going in to possess, and shall have destroyed many nations before thee, the Hethite, and the Gergezite, and the Amorrhite, and the Chanaanite, and the Pherezite, and the Hevite, and the Jebusite, seven nations much more numerous than thou art, and stronger than thou:
2 Seyè a, Bondye nou an, pral lage yo nan men nou, nou pral bat yo. Lè sa a, se pou nou detwi yo nèt tankou yon ofrann pou Bondye nou an. Piga nou pase ankenn kontra ak yo. Piga nou gen pitye pou yo.
And the Lord thy God shall have delivered them to thee, thou shalt utterly destroy them. Thou shalt make no league with them, nor shew mercy to them:
3 Piga nou marye ak moun sa yo. Pa kite pitit fi nou marye ak pitit gason yo, ni pa kite pitit gason nou marye ak pitit fi yo.
Neither shalt thou make marriages with them. Thou shalt not give thy daughter to his son, nor take his daughter for thy son:
4 Paske y'a pran tèt pitit gason nou yo, y'a fè yo vire do ban mwen pou y' al sèvi lòt bondye. Si nou fè sa, Bondye va fache sou nou, l'a disparèt nou la pou la.
For she will turn away thy son from following me, that he may rather serve strange gods, and the wrath of the Lord will be kindled, and will quickly destroy thee.
5 Men sa pou n' fè yo: Demoli tout lòtèl yo, kraze tout estati yo, rache tout poto Achera yo, boule tout zidòl yo.
But thus rather shall you deal with them: Destroy their altars, and break their statues, and cut down their groves, and burn their graven things.
6 N'a fè sa paske se yon pèp k'ap viv apa pou Seyè a, Bondye nou an, nou ye. Se nou menm Seyè a, Bondye nou an, te chwazi nan tout pèp ki sou latè pou li fè nou tounen yon pèp ki rele l' pa l'.
Because thou art a holy people to the Lord thy God. The Lord thy God hath chosen thee, to be his peculiar people of all peoples that are upon the earth.
7 Si, nan tout pèp ki sou latè, se nou menm Seyè a te pi pito, si li te chwazi nou, se pa paske nou te gen plis moun nan pèp nou an pase lòt yo. Okontrè, se nou ki te gen pi piti moun.
Not because you surpass all nations in number, is the Lord joined unto you, and hath chosen you, for you are the fewest of any people:
8 Men, se paske Seyè a te renmen nou, epi li te vle kenbe pwomès li te fè zansèt nou yo. Se poutèt sa li delivre nou avèk fòs ponyèt li. Li fè nou soti kite peyi Lejip kote nou te tounen esklav la. Li wete nou anba pouvwa farawon an.
But because the Lord hath loved you, and hath kept his oath, which he swore to your fathers: and hath brought you out with a strong hand, and redeemed you from the house of bondage, out of the hand of Pharao the king of Egypt.
9 Se pou nou rekonèt Seyè a, Bondye nou an, se sèl Bondye ki genyen, sèl Bondye k'ap toujou kenbe pawòl li. Wi, l'ap toujou kenbe kontra li pase a. L'ap toujou renmen moun ki renmen l', moun ki fè tou sa l' mande yo fè, de pitit an pitit, pandan mil jenerasyon.
And thou shalt know that the Lord thy God, he is a strong and faithful God, keeping his covenant and mercy to them that love him, and to them that keep his commandments, unto a thousand generations:
10 Men, li p'ap manke pini moun ki rayi l'. Se moun sa yo menm l'ap touye, pa lòt moun ankò. Wi, li p'ap pran reta pou l' fè yo peye sa yo fè a.
And repaying forthwith them that hate him, so as to destroy them, without further delay immediately rendering to them what they deserve.
11 Se poutèt sa, se pou nou swiv tout kòmandman, tout lòd ak tout prensip mwen mande nou jòdi a pou nou swiv.
Keep therefore the precepts and ceremonies and judgments, which I command thee this day to do.
12 Si nou koute tou sa mwen mande nou la a, si nou kenbe yo nan tèt nou, si nou swiv yo pwen pa pwen, Seyè a, Bondye nou an, va toujou kenbe kontra li te pase ak zansèt nou yo, l'ap toujou renmen nou jan li te fè sèman bay zansèt nou yo.
If after thou hast heard these judgments, thou keep and do them, the Lord thy God will also keep his covenant to thee, and the mercy which he swore to thy fathers:
13 L'a renmen nou, l'a beni nou, l'a fè nou peple. L'a ban nou anpil pitit. L'a voye benediksyon sou jaden nou, n'a gen anpil manje, anpil diven ak anpil lwil. Bèf nou yo va bay anpil pòte, mouton nou yo va fè anpil pitit. L'a fè tou sa pou nou nan peyi li te pwomèt zansèt nou yo l'ap ban nou an.
And he will love thee and multiply thee, and will bless the fruit of thy womb, and the fruit of thy land, thy corn, and thy vintage, thy oil, and thy herds, and the flocks of thy sheep upon the land, for which he swore to thy fathers that he would give it thee.
14 Bondye ap beni nou plis pase tout lòt pèp yo. p'ap gen yon moun nan mitan nou, fanm kou gason, ki p'ap ka fè pitit. Konsa tou, p'ap gen yonn nan bèt nou yo, ni mal ni fenmèl, ki p'ap ka fè pitit.
Blessed shalt thou be among all people. No one shall be barren among you of either sex, neither of men nor cattle.
15 Seyè a p'ap kite ankenn maladi tonbe sou nou. Li p'ap janm voye sou nou move epidemi nou te wè ki te tonbe sou moun peyi Lejip yo. L'ap kite sa pou tout moun ki pa vle wè nou yo.
The Lord will take away from thee all sickness: and the grievous infirmities of Egypt, which thou knowest, he will not bring upon thee, but upon thy enemies.
16 Se pou nou disparèt tout pèp Seyè a, Bondye nou an, va lage nan men nou. Se pou nou san pitye pou yo. Piga nou fè sèvis pou bondye moun sa yo, paske sa ka fini mal pou nou.
Thou shalt consume all the people, which the Lord thy God will deliver to thee. Thy eye shall not spare them, neither shalt thou serve their gods, lest they be thy ruin.
17 Si nou ta rive di nan kè nou: Nasyon sa yo gen plis moun pase nou. Ki jan pou n' fè pou n' pran peyi a nan men yo? wete lide konsa nan tèt nou.
If thou say in thy heart: These nations are more than I, how shall I be able to destroy them?
18 Nou pa bezwen pè yo. Chonje tou sa Seyè a, Bondye nou an, te fè farawon an ak tout peyi Lejip li a.
Fear not, but remember what the Lord thy God did to Pharao and to all the Egyptians,
19 Chonje tout gwo malè nou te wè ak je nou, tout mèvèy ak tout mirak Seyè a te fè ak fòs ponyèt li ak gwo kouraj li pou l' fè nou soti kite peyi sa a. Seyè a pral fè menm jan an tou ak tout pèp nou pè yo.
The exceeding great plagues, which thy eyes saw, and the signs and wonders, and the strong hand, and the stretched out arm, with which the Lord thy God brought thee out: so will he do to all the people, whom thou fearest.
20 Sa ki pi rèd ankò, l'ap voye yon bann tanwouan pou touye tou sa ki va chape anba men nou pou y' al kache pou nou.
Moreover the Lord thy God will send also hornets among them, until he destroy and consume all that have escaped thee, and could hide themselves.
21 Nou pa bezwen pè moun sa yo menm. Seyè a, Bondye nou an, kanpe la avèk nou. Se yon Bondye ki gen anpil pouvwa, yon Bondye ki fè tout moun respekte l'.
Thou shalt not fear them, because the Lord thy God is in the midst of thee, a God mighty and terrible:
22 Seyè a, Bondye nou an, va mete nasyon sa yo deyò devan nou, yonn apre lòt. Nou p'ap ka detwi yo tout yon sèl kou. Paske si nou fè l', bèt nan bwa ka anvayi peyi a, epi sa pa ta bon pou nou.
He will consume these nations in thy sight by little and little and by degrees. Thou wilt not be able to destroy them altogether: lest perhaps the beasts of the earth should increase upon thee.
23 Men, Seyè a, Bondye nou an, pral lage yo nan men nou. L'ap fè yo pati kouri devan nou jouk n'a fin disparèt yo nèt.
But the Lord thy God shall deliver them in thy sight: and shall slay them until they be utterly destroyed.
24 Seyè a pral mete wa yo anba pye nou. Nou pral touye yo, nou pral fè tout moun sou latè bliye non yo. Pesonn p'ap ka rete nou sou kous nou. Nou pral detwi yo tout.
And he shall deliver their kings into thy hands, and thou shalt destroy their names from under Heaven: no man shall be able to resist thee, until thou destroy them.
25 N'a boule tout zidòl yo te taye nan bwa. Pa kite lò ak ajan ki kouvri zidòl yo mete move lanvi nan ke nou. Pa pran yo pou nou. Sa ka yon pèlen pou nou. Nou konnen bagay konsa se bagay Seyè a, Bondye nou an, pa vle wè menm.
Their graven things thou shalt burn with fire: thou shalt not covet the silver and gold of which they are made, neither shalt thou take to thee any thing thereof, lest thou offend, because it is an abomination to the Lord thy God.
26 Konsa tou, pa pran ankenn nan zidòl sa yo pou nou mete anndan lakay nou, pou menm madichon ki sou yo a pa tonbe sou nou tou. Se pou nou konsidere yo pou move bagay, pou vye bagay sal. Se bagay ki madichonnen, bagay ki fèt pou disparèt nèt.
Neither shalt thou bring any thing of the idol into thy house, lest thou become an anathema, like it. Thou shalt detest it as dung, and shalt utterly abhor it as uncleanness and filth, because it is an anathema.
