Deteronòm 11
1 “Pou sa, nou va renmen SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, e nou va toujou kenbe lòd Li, lwa Li yo, ak règleman Li yo, avèk kòmandman Li yo.
Therefore love the Lord thy God and observe his precepts and ceremonies, his judgments and commandments at all times.
2 Byen konnen nan jou sa a, ke Mwen p ap pale avèk fis nou yo ki potko konnen e ki potko wè chatiman SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, —grandè Li, men pwisans Li ak bra lonje Li a,
Know this day the things that your children know not, who saw not the chastisements of the Lord your God. his great doings and strong hand, and stretched out arm,
3 epi sign Li yo avèk zèv Li yo ke Li te fè nan mitan Égypte a Farawon an, wa Égypte la, e a tout peyi li a;
The signs and works which he did in the midst of Egypt to king Pharao, and to all his land,
4 ak sa Li te fè a lame Égypte la, a cheval li yo avèk cha li yo, lè Li te fè dlo Lamè Wouj la kouvri yo pandan yo t ap kouri dèyè nou, e SENYÈ a te detwi yo nèt, jiska jou sa a;
And to all the host of the Egyptians, and to their horses and chariots: how the waters of the Red Sea covered them, when they pursued you, and how the Lord destroyed them until this present day:
5 epi sa Li te fè a nou menm nan dezè a jiskaske nou te rive nan kote sa a;
And what he hath done to you in the wilderness, till you came to this place:
6 epi sa Li te fè aDathan avèk Abiram, fis a Éliab yo, fis a Ruben, lè tè a te ouvri bouch li, pou te vale yo, tout moun lakay yo, tant yo, ak tout bagay vivan nan tout Israël ki te swiv yo——
And to Dathan and Abiron the sons of Eliab, who was the son of Ruben: whom the earth, opening her mouth swallowed up with their households and tents, and all their substance, which they had in the midst of Israel.
7 konsa, se pwòp zye pa nou ki te wè tout gran zèv ke SENYÈ a te fè yo.
Your eyes have seen all the greet works of the Lord, that he hath done,
8 “Pou sa, nou va kenbe tout kòmandman ke mwen ap kòmande nou jodi a, pou nou kapab gen fòs pou antre e posede peyi a nan sila nou prèt pou travèse pran an;
That you may keep all his commandments, which I command you this day, and may go in, and possess the land, to which you are entering,
9 jis pou jou nou yo kapab vin pi plis nan peyi ke SENYÈ a te sèmante a zansèt nou yo pou ba yo ak desandan pa yo, yon peyi ki koule avèk lèt ak siwo myèl.
And may live in it a long time: which the Lord promised by oath to your fathers, and to their seed, a land which floweth with milk and honey.
10 Paske peyi kote nou ap antre pou posede a, se pa tankou peyi Égypte la, kote nou sòti a, kote nou te konn plante semans nou e wouze li avèk pye nou tankou yon jaden legim.
For the land, which thou goest to possess, is not like the land of Egypt, from whence thou camest out, where, when the seed is sown, waters are brought in to water it after the manner of gardens.
11 Men peyi kote nou prèt pou travèse pran an, yon peyi avèk ti mòn ak vale, k ap bwè dlo ki sòti nan lapli syèl la,
But it is a land of hills and plains, expecting rain from heaven.
12 yon peyi ke SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, renmen anpil. Zye a SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, toujou sou li, soti nan kòmansman jis rive nan fen ane a.
And the Lord thy God doth always visit it, and his eyes are on it from the beginning of the year unto the end thereof.
13 “Li va vin rive ke si nou koute avèk obeyisans a kòmandman mwen yo, ke mwen ap kòmande nou jodi a, pou nou renmen SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, e sèvi Li avèk tout kè nou e avèk tout nanm nou,
If then you obey my commandments, which I command you this day, that you love the Lord your God, and serve him with all your heart, and with all your soul:
14 ke Mwen va bay lapli pou peyi nou nan sezon li, lapli premye sezon ak lapli dènye sezon, pou nou kapab fè antre sereyal avèk diven nèf, avèk lwil.
He will give to your land the early rain and the latter rain, that you may gather in your corn, and your wine, and your oil,
15 Mwen va bannou zèb nan chan nou yo pou bèt nou yo, e nou va manje e va satisfè.
And your hay out of the fields to feed your cattle, and that you may eat and be filled.
16 “Veye nou pou kè nou pa vin sedwi; pou nou pa vire akote pou sèvi lòt dye yo e adore yo.
Beware lest perhaps your heart be deceived, and you depart from the Lord, and serve strange gods, and adore them:
17 Sinon, lakòlè SENYÈ a va limen kont nou, epi Li va fèmen syèl yo pou pa gen lapli, e tè a p ap donnen fwi li. Konsa, nou va peri vit soti nan bon peyi ke SENYÈ a ap bannou an.
And the Lord being angry shut up heaven, that the rain come not down, nor the earth yield her fruit, and you perish quickly from the excellent land, which the Lord will give you.
18 Pou sa, nou va tache pawòl sa yo sou kè nou ak sou nanm nou. Nou va mare yo tankou yon sign sou men nou e yo va tankou très cheve nan fwon nou.
Lay up these my words in your hearts and minds, and hang them for a sign on your hands, and place them between your eyes.
19 Nou va enstwi yo a fis nou yo nan pale sou yo lè nou chita lakay nou, lè nou mache akote wout la, e lè nou kouche ak lè nou leve.
Teach your children that they meditate on them, when thou sittest in thy house, and when thou walkest on the way, and when thou liest down and risest up.
20 Nou va ekri yo nan poto chanbrann lakay nou ak sou pòtay nou yo,
Thou shalt write them upon the posts and the doors of thy house:
21 jis pou jou nou yo avèk jou a fis nou yo kapab vin miltipliye nan peyi kote SENYÈ a te sèmante a zansèt nou yo pou bay yo, toutotan syèl yo ap rete sou tè a.
That thy days may be multiplied, and the days of thy children in the land which the Lord swore to thy fathers, that he would give them as long as the heaven hangeth over the earth.
22 “Paske si nou fè atansyon pou kenbe tout kòmandman sa yo ke mwen ap kòmande nou pou fè yo, pou renmen SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, pou mache nan tout chemen Li yo e kenbe fèm a Li,
For if you keep the commandments which I command you, and do them, to love the Lord your God, and walk in all his ways, cleaving unto him,
23 alò, SENYÈ a va chase tout nasyon yo soti devan nou; epi nou va deplase nasyon ki pi gran e ki pi pwisan ke nou yo.
The Lord will destroy all these nations before your face, and you shall possess them, which are greater and stronger than you.
24 Nenpòt kote ke pye nou pile va vin pou nou; lizyè nou va soti nan dezè a pou jis rive Liban, soti nan rivyè a, Rivyè Lefrat la, pou jis rive nan lanmè lwès la.
Every place, that your foot shall tread upon, shall be yours. From the desert, and from Libanus, from the great river Euphrates unto the western sea shall be your borders.
25 P ap gen pèsòn ki kapab kanpe devan nou. SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, va mete gwo panik de nou ak laperèz nou sou tout peyi kote nou foule pye nou yo, jan Li te deja pale nou an.
None shall stand against you: the Lord your God shall lay the dread and fear of you upon all the land that you shall tread upon, as he hath spoken to you.
26 “Gade, mwen ap mete devan nou jodi a yon benediksyon avèk yon malediksyon;
Behold I set forth in your sight this day a blessing and a curse:
27 Benediksyon an si nou koute kòmandman a SENYÈ yo, Bondye nou an ke mwen kòmande nou jodi a;
A blessing, if you obey the commandments of the Lord your God, which I command you this day:
28 epi malediksyon an si nou pa koute kòmandman a SENYÈ yo, Bondye nou an, men vire akote chemen ke mwen ap kòmande nou jodi a, pou swiv lòt dye ke nou pa t konnen yo.
A curse, if you obey not the commandments of the Lord your. God, but revolt from the way which now I shew you, and walk after strange gods which you know not.
29 “Li va rive, ke lè SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, mennen nou nan peyi kote n ap antre posede a, ke nou va plase benediksyon an nan mòn Garizim nan e malediksyon an nan mòn Ebal la.
And when the Lord thy God shall have brought thee into the land, whither thou goest to dwell, thou shalt put the blessing upon mount Garizim, the curse upon mount Hebal:
30 Èske yo pa anfas Jourdain an, vè lwès, vè solèy kouche a, nan peyi Kanaaneyen ki rete Araba yo, anfas Guilgal, akote chenn Moré yo.
Which are beyond the Jordan, behind the way that goeth to the setting of the sun, in the land of the Chanaanite who dwelleth in the plain country over against Galgala, which is near the valley that reacheth and entereth far.
31 Paske nou prèt pou travèse Jourdain an pou antre posede peyi ke SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, ap bannou an, e nou va posede li pou viv ladann.
For you shall pass over the Jordan, to possess the land, which the Lord your God will give you, that you may have it and possess it.
32 Nou va fè atansyon pou fè tout sa lalwa avèk jijman ke mwen ap mete devan nou jodi a.
See therefore that you fulfill the ceremonies and judgments, which I shall set this day before you.
