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 thou shalt loue the Lord thy God, and shalt keepe that, which he commandeth to be kept: that is, his ordinances, and his lawes, and his commandements alway.
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,
And consider this day (for I speake not to your children, which haue neither knowen nor seene) the chastisement of the Lord your God, his greatnesse, his mighty hande, and his stretched out arme,
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;
And his signes, and his actes, which hee did in the middes of Egypt vnto Pharaoh the King of Egypt and vnto 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 what he did vnto the hoste of the Egyptians, vnto their horses, and to their charets, when he caused the waters of the red Sea to ouerflowe them, as they pursued after you, and the Lord destroied them vnto this day:
5 epi sa Li te fè a nou menm nan dezè a jiskaske nou te rive nan kote sa a;
And what he did vnto you in the wildernesse, vntill yee came vnto 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 what he did vnto Dathan and Abiram the sonnes of Eliab ye sonne of Reuben, when the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed them with their housholds and their tents, and all their substance that they had in the middes of al Israel.
7 konsa, se pwòp zye pa nou ki te wè tout gran zèv ke SENYÈ a te fè yo.
For your eyes haue seene all the great actes of the Lord which he did.
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;
Therefore shall ye keepe all the commandements, which I commaund you this day, that ye may be strong, and go in and possesse the land whither ye goe to possesse it:
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.
Also that ye may prolong your daies in the land, which the Lord sware vnto your fathers, to giue vnto them and to their seede, euen a lande that floweth with milke and honie.
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 whither thou goest to possesse it, is not as the lande of Egypt, from whence ye came, where thou sowedst thy seede, and wateredst it with thy feete as a garden of herbes:
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 the land whither ye goe to possesse it, is a land of mountaines and valleis, and drinketh water of the raine of heauen.
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.
This land doth the Lord thy God care for: the eies of the Lord thy God are alwaies vpon it, from the beginning of the yeere, euen vnto the ende of the yeere.
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 yee shall hearken therefore vnto my commandements, which I commaund you this day, that yee loue the Lord your God and serue him with all your heart, and with all your soule,
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.
I also wil giue raine vnto your land in due time, the first raine and the latter, that thou maist gather in thy wheat, and thy wine, and thine oyle.
15 Mwen va bannou zèb nan chan nou yo pou bèt nou yo, e nou va manje e va satisfè.
Also I will send grasse in thy fieldes, for thy cattel, that thou maist eate, and haue inough.
16 “Veye nou pou kè nou pa vin sedwi; pou nou pa vire akote pou sèvi lòt dye yo e adore yo.
But beware lest your heart deceiue you, and lest yee turne aside, and serue other gods, and worship 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 so the anger of the Lord be kindled against you, and he shut vp the heauen, that there be no raine, and that your lande yeelde not her fruit, and yee perish quickly from the good land, which the Lord giueth 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.
Therefore shall ye lay vp these my words in your heart and in your soule, and binde them for a signe vpon your hand, that they may be as a frontlet betweene 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.
And ye shall teach them your children, speaking of them, whe thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest downe, and when thou risest vp.
20 Nou va ekri yo nan poto chanbrann lakay nou ak sou pòtay nou yo,
And thou shalt write them vpon the postes of thine house, and vpon thy gates,
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 your daies may be multiplied, and the daies of your children, in ye land which the Lord sware vnto your fathers to giue them, as long as the heauens are aboue 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 ye keepe diligently all these commandements, which I command you to doe: that is, to loue the Lord your God, to walke in all his waies, and to cleaue vnto 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.
Then will the Lord cast out all these nations before you, and ye shall possesse great nations and mightier then 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.
All the places whereon the soles of your feete shall tread, shalbe yours: your coast shalbe from the wildernes and from Lebanon, and from the Riuer, euen the riuer Perath, vnto ye vttermost Sea.
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.
No man shall stande against you: for the Lord your God shall cast the feare and dread of you vpon all the land that ye shall treade vpon, as he hath said vnto you.
26 “Gade, mwen ap mete devan nou jodi a yon benediksyon avèk yon malediksyon;
Beholde, I set before you 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;
The blessing, if ye obey the commandements 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.
And ye curse, if ye wil not obey the commandements of the Lord your God, but turne out of the way, which I commande you this day, to go after other gods, which ye haue not knowen.
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.
When the Lord thy God therefore hath brought thee into ye lande, whither thou goest to possesse it, then thou shalt put the blessing vpon mount Gerizim, and the curse vpon mount Ebal.
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.
Are they not beyond Iorden on that part, where the sunne goeth downe in the land of the Canaanites, which dwel in the plaine ouer against Gilgal, beside the groue of Moreh?
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 yee shall passe ouer Iorden, to goe in to possesse the land, which ye Lord your God giueth you, and ye shall possesse it, and dwell therein.
32 Nou va fè atansyon pou fè tout sa lalwa avèk jijman ke mwen ap mete devan nou jodi a.
Take heede therefore that ye doe all the commandements and the lawes, which I set before you this day.
