< Deteronòm 10 >
1 “Nan tan sa a, SENYÈ a te di mwen: ‘Taye fòme pou kont ou de tab wòch tankou premye yo, monte kote Mwen sou mòn nan, e fè yon lach an bwa pou kont ou.
At that time, said Yahweh unto me—Cut thee out two tables of stone like the first, and come up unto me into the mountain, —and make thee an ark of wood;
2 Mwen va ekri sou tab yo pawòl ki te nan premye tab ke ou te kraze yo, e ou va mete yo nan lach la.’
that I may write, upon the tables, the words which were on the first tables which thou brakest in pieces, —then shalt thou put them in the ark.
3 “Konsa, mwen te fè yon lach avèk bwa akasya e mwen te taye de tab wòch tankou premye yo, e mwen te monte sou mòn nan avèk de tab yo nan men m.
So I made an ark of acacia wood, and cut out two tables of stone like the first, —and went up the mountain, having the two tables in my hand.
4 Li te ekri sou tab yo tankou premye ekriti a, Dis Kòmanman ke SENYÈ a te pale a nou menm sou mòn nan soti nan mitan dife a nan jou asanble a; epi SENYÈ a te ban mwen yo.
And he wrote upon the tables according to the first writing—the ten words, which Yahweh had spoken unto you in the mountain, out of the midst of the fire in the day of the convocation, —and Yahweh delivered them unto me.
5 Konsa, mwen te vire desann kite mòn nan. Mwen te mete tab yo nan lach ke mwen te fè a, epi se la yo ye, jan SENYÈ a te kòmande mwen an.”
Then turned I, and came down out of the mountain, and put the tables in the ark which I had made, —and they have remained there, as Yahweh commanded me.
6 (Alò, fis Israël yo te kite Beéroth-Bene-Jaakan pou rive Moséra. La Aaron te mouri, la li te antere, e fis li a, Éléazar te fè sèvis prèt nan plas li.
And, the sons of Israel, set forward out of Beeroth Bene-jaakan to Moserah, —there, died Aaron and was buried there, and Eleazar his son became priest in his stead.
7 Soti la, yo te pati pou Gudgoda e soti Gudgoda a Jothbatha, yon peyi avèk anpil ti flèv dlo.
From thence, set they forward unto the Gudgodah, —and from the Gudgodah to Jotbathah, a land of torrents of water.
8 Nan moman sa a, SENYÈ a te mete apa tribi Lévi a pou pote lach akò SENYÈ a, pou kanpe devan Li, pou sèvi Li e pou beni nan non Li jiska jodi a.
At that time, did Yahweh separate the tribe of Levi, to bear the ark of the covenant of Yahweh, —to stand before Yahweh to wait upon him and to bless in his name (until this day).
9 Akoz sa, Lévi pa gen pòsyon ni eritaj pami frè li yo; SENYÈ a se eritaj pa li, jis jan SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, te pale a li a.
For this cause, hath Levi neither portion nor inheritance with his brethren, —Yahweh, is his inheritance, as Yahweh thy God spake unto him.
10 “Mwen anplis te rete sou mòn nan pandan karant jou ak karant nwit tankou premye fwa a; epi SENYÈ a te koute mwen fwa sa a tou. SENYÈ a pa t dakò detwi nou.
But, I, stayed in the mountain according to the former days, forty days and forty nights, —and Yahweh hearkened unto me at that time also, Yahweh was not willing, to destroy thee.
11 Alò, SENYÈ a te di mwen: ‘Leve, ale nan vwayaj ou devan pèp la, pou yo kapab antre ladann e posede peyi ke Mwen te sèmante a zansèt yo pou M bay yo a.’
So then Yahweh said unto me, Up with thee—to break away onward, before the people, —that they may enter in and possess the land, which I sware unto their fathers, to give unto them.
12 “Alò, Israël, kisa SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, mande a nou menm, sof ke krent SENYÈ a, mache nan tout chemen Li yo, renmen Li, e sèvi Li avèk tout kè nou ak tout nanm nou,
Now, therefore, O Israel, what is, Yahweh thy God, asking of thee, —but to revere Yahweh thy God to walk in all his ways, and to love him, and to serve Yahweh thy God, with all thy heart, and with all thy soul:
13 pou kenbe kòmandman SENYÈ a avèk lwa Li yo, ke mwen ap kòmande nou jodi a pou pwòp avantaj pa nou.
to keep the commandments of Yahweh and his statutes, which I am commanding thee to-day, —for thy good?
14 “Gade byen, syèl la avèk syèl piwo yo se pou SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, ansanm ak tè a, avèk tout sa ki ladann.
Lo! unto Yahweh thy God, belong the heavens even the highest heavens, —the earth, with all that is therein.
15 Sèl SENYÈ a te gen plezi pou mete sou zansèt nou yo afeksyon Li. Li te renmen yo, e Li te chwazi desandan yo apre yo, nou menm devan tout lòt pèp yo, jan li ye jodi a menm.
Only unto thy fathers, Yahweh became attached so as to love them, —therefore made he choice of their seed after them—of you—out of all the peoples, (as at this day).
16 Pou sa, se pou nou sikonsi kè nou, e pa kite kè nou di ankò.
Therefore must ye circumcise the foreskin of your hearts, —and your necks, must ye stiffen no more.
17 “Paske SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, se Bondye a dye yo e SENYÈ a senyè yo. Li se Bondye ki gran an, pwisan e etonan an, ki pa montre favè a pèsòn, ni pa vann favè Li anba tab.
For as touching Yahweh your God, he, is God of gods, and Lord of lords; the great the mighty, and the fearful GOD, who respecteth not persons, nor accepteth a bribe;
18 Li fè jistis pou òfelen ak vèv la, e Li montre amou Li pou etranje a lè Li ba li manje avèk rad.
executing the vindication of the orphan and the widow, —and loving a sojourner, giving him food and raiment.
19 Pou sa, montre amou pa nou vè etranje a, paske nou te etranje nan peyi Égypte la.
Therefore shall ye love the sojourner, —for sojourners, became ye in the land of Egypt.
20 “Nou va krent SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an. Nou va sèvi Li. Kole kote Li, e nou va sèmante pa non pa Li.
Yahweh thy God, shalt thou revere, Him, shalt thou serve, —And unto him, shalt thou cleave, And in his name, shalt thou swear.
21 Se Li menm ki lwanj nou, se Li menm ki Bondye nou, se Li menm ki te fè gran bagay etonan sa yo pou nou ke zye nou te wè.
He, is thy song of praise, And, he, thy God, —who hath done with thee these great and fearful things, which thine own eyes have seen.
22 Zansèt nou yo te desann an Égypte, swasann-dis pèsòn antou. Epi koulye a, SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, te fè nou vin anpil tankou zetwal syèl yo.
As seventy souls, went thy fathers down to Egypt, —and, now, Yahweh thy God hath made thee like the stars of the heavens for multitude.
