Deteronòm 8
1 Se pou nou swiv pwen pa pwen tout kòmandman m'ap ban nou jòdi a pou nou ka viv, pou nou ka gen anpil pitit, pou nou ka mache pran peyi mwen te fè sèman m'ap bay zansèt nou yo.
All the commandments which I command thee this day shall ye observe to do, that ye may live, and multiply, and go in and possess the land which the LORD swore to your fathers.
2 Chonje tout chemen Seyè a, Bondye nou an, te fè nou pran nan dezè a pandan karantan pou l' te ka kraze lògèy nou, pou l' te ka sonde nou, pou l' te ka konnen sa ki nan kè nou, si tout bon vre nou te soti pou kenbe kòmandman l' yo.
And thou shalt remember all the way which the LORD thy God hath led thee these forty years in the wilderness, to humble thee, [and] to prove thee, to know what [was] in thy heart, whether thou wouldst keep his commandments, or not.
3 Li kraze lògèy nou, li fè nou soufri grangou. Apre sa, li ba nou laman pou nou manje, yon kalite manje ni nou menm ni zansèt nou yo pa t' janm konnen. Li fè tou sa pou li te fè nou konnen se pa pen ase moun bezwen pou yo viv. Yo bezwen tout pawòl ki soti nan bouch Seyè a tou pou yo viv.
And he humbled thee, and suffered thee to hunger, and fed thee with manna, which thou knewest not, neither did thy fathers know; that he might make thee know that man doth not live by bread only, but by every [word] that proceedeth out of the mouth of the LORD doth man live.
4 Pandan tout karantan sa yo, rad sou nou pa janm fini, pye nou yo pa janm fè yon ti anfle.
Thy raiment hath not become old upon thee, neither hath thy foot swelled these forty years.
5 Se pou nou manyè konprann koulye a, Seyè a, Bondye nou an, t'ap mete nou sou lòd tankou yon papa k'ap mete pitit li sou lòd.
Thou shalt also consider in thy heart, that as a man chasteneth his son, [so] the LORD thy God chasteneth thee.
6 Se poutèt sa, toujou kenbe tout lòd Seyè a, Bondye nou an, ban nou pou nou ka mennen bak nou dwat nan chemen li mete devan nou yo, lèfini pou nou toujou gen krentif pou li.
Therefore thou shalt keep the commandments of the LORD thy God, to walk in his ways, and to fear him.
7 Men, Seyè a, Bondye nou an, ap mennen nou nan yon bèl peyi, yon peyi kote ki gen anpil rivyè, anpil sous dlo, anpil dlo anba tè k'ap pete nan fon yo ak sou flan mòn yo,
For the LORD thy God bringeth thee into a good land, a land of brooks of water, of fountains, and depths that spring out of valleys and hills;
8 yon peyi kote ki gen ble, lòj, rezen, pye fig frans, grenad, oliv ak siwo myèl,
A land of wheat, and barley, and vines, and fig-trees, and pomegranates, a land of olive-oil, and honey;
9 yon peyi kote nou p'ap janm manke manje, kote nou va jwenn tou sa nou vle. Plen fè nan mitan wòch li yo. N'a jwenn kwiv nan mòn li yo.
A land in which thou shalt eat bread without scarceness, thou shalt not lack any [thing] in it, a land whose stones [are] iron, and out of whose hills thou mayest dig brass.
10 Men, lè n'a fin manje plen vant nou, n'a fè lwanj Seyè a, Bondye nou an, pou bon peyi li te ban nou an.
When thou hast eaten and art full, then thou shalt bless the LORD thy God for the good land which he hath given thee.
11 Veye kò nou pou nou pa janm bliye Seyè a, Bondye nou an, pou nou pa janm neglije kòmandman, lòd ak prensip m'ap ban nou jòdi a.
Beware that thou forget not the LORD thy God, in not keeping his commandments, and his judgments, and his statutes, which I command thee this day:
12 Lè n'a fin manje plen vant nou, lè n'a fin bati bèl kay pou nou rete,
Lest [when] thou hast eaten, and art full, and hast built goodly houses, and dwelt [in them];
13 lè n'a wè bèf nou yo, kabrit nou yo ak mouton nou yo ap peple, lè n'a wè n'a gen lò ak ajan an kantite, lè n'a wè tout byen nou yo ap vin pi plis chak jou,
And [when] thy herds and thy flocks multiply, and thy silver and thy gold are increased, and all that thou hast is increased;
14 pa kite lògèy vire tèt nou pou nou bliye Seyè a, Bondye nou an, ki te fè nou soti kite peyi Lejip kote yo te fè nou tounen esklav la.
Then thy heart shall be lifted up, and thou shalt forget the LORD thy God (who brought thee out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage; )
15 Se li menm ki te pran men nou pou fè nou travèse gwo dezè plen danje a, kote ki gen eskòpyon ak sèpan ki gen move pwazon nan bouch yo, kote moun ap mouri swaf dlo paske pa gen dlo la menm. Men, se li menm ki te fè dlo soti nan gwo wòch di a pou nou.
Who led thee through that great and terrible wilderness, [in which were] fiery serpents, and scorpions, and drouth, where [there was] no water; who brought thee forth water out of the rock of flint;
16 Nan dezè a se li menm ki te ban nou manje laman, yon kalite manje zansèt nou yo pa t' janm konnen. Li kraze lògèy nou, li sonde nou pou nou te ka gen kè kontan pi devan.
Who fed thee in the wilderness with manna, which thy fathers knew not, that he might humble thee, and that he might prove thee, to do thee good at thy latter end.
17 Pa janm mete nan tèt nou se kouraj nou ak fòs ponyèt nou ki fè nou gen tout richès sa yo.
And thou shalt say in thy heart, My power and the might of my hand hath gotten me this wealth.
18 Chonje se Seyè a, Bondye nou an, ki te ban nou kouraj sa a. Se li menm ki te fè nou rive gen tout richès sa yo, paske li te kenbe kontra li te pase ak zansèt nou yo, epi l'ap kenbe l' jouk jòdi a.
But thou shalt remember the LORD thy God: for [it is] he that giveth thee power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he swore to thy fathers, as [it is] this day.
19 Si nou rive bliye Seyè a, Bondye nou an, pou n' al kouri dèyè lòt bondye, pou nou fè sèvis pou yo, pou n' adore yo, mwen tou avèti nou jòdi a, nou tout nou gen pou nou disparèt.
And it shall be, if thou shalt at all forget the LORD thy God, and walk after other gods, and serve them, and worship them, I testify against you this day that ye shall surely perish.
20 Si nou pa koute sa Seyè a, Bondye nou an, di nou, nou pral disparèt menm jan ak nasyon Bondye pral disparèt devan nou yo.
As the nations which the LORD destroyeth before your face, so shall ye perish; because ye would not be obedient to the voice of the LORD your God.
