< Deteronòm 12 >

1 “Sa yo se lwa avèk jijman ke nou va swiv avèk atansyon nan peyi ke SENYÈ a, Bondye a zansèt nou yo, te bannou pou posede pandan tout tan ke n ap viv sou tè a.
These are the statutes and ordinances you must be careful to follow all the days you live in the land that the LORD, the God of your fathers, has given you to possess.
2 “Nou va detwi nèt tout kote ke nasyon yo mete dye pa yo pou sèvi yo; sou mòn wo yo, sou ti mòn yo ak anba tout pyebwa yo.
Destroy completely all the places where the nations you are dispossessing have served their gods—atop the high mountains, on the hills, and under every green tree.
3 Nou va chire lotèl yo, e kraze pilye sakre yo, e brile poto Asherim nan avèk dife. Nou va koupe imaj taye a dye pa yo, e nou va fè disparèt tout tras non yo nan kote sila yo.
Tear down their altars, smash their sacred pillars, burn up their Asherah poles, cut down the idols of their gods, and wipe out their names from every place.
4 “Nou p ap aji konsa anvè SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an.
You shall not worship the LORD your God in this way.
5 Men nou va chache kote SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, chwazi sou tout trib nou yo, pou etabli non Li a tankou kote pou L ta rete, e la, nou va vini.
Instead, you must seek the place the LORD your God will choose from among all your tribes to establish as a dwelling for His Name, and there you must go.
6 La, nou va mennen ofrann brile nou yo, sakrifis nou yo, dim nou yo, don ki sòti nan men nou yo, ofrann ve yo, ofrann bòn volonte yo, avèk premye ne nan twoupo nou yo ak nan bann mouton nou yo.
To that place you are to bring your burnt offerings and sacrifices, your tithes and heave offerings, your vow offerings and freewill offerings, as well as the firstborn of your herds and flocks.
7 La osi, nou menm avèk lakay nou va manje devan SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an. Konsa, nou va rejwi nan tout sa nou te antreprann nan, nou avèk lakay nou yo, nan sila SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, te beni nou an.
There, in the presence of the LORD your God, you and your households shall eat and rejoice in all you do, because the LORD your God has blessed you.
8 “Nou p ap fè menm sa ke n ap fè isit la jodi a, konsi tout moun ap fè sa ki bon nan pwòp zye li;
You are not to do as we are doing here today, where everyone does what seems right in his own eyes.
9 paske nou poko rive nan plas repo ak eritaj ke SENYÈ a ap bannou an.
For you have not yet come to the resting place and the inheritance that the LORD your God is giving you.
10 “Lè nou travèse Jourdain an pou viv nan peyi ke SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, ap bannou kòm eritaj la; epi Li bannou repo sou tout lènmi ki antoure nou yo pou nou viv ansekirite,
When you cross the Jordan and live in the land that the LORD your God is giving you as an inheritance, and He gives you rest from all the enemies around you and you dwell securely,
11 alò, li va rive ke kote ke SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, va chwazi pou non Li vin rete a, se la, nou va mennen tout sa ke Mwen kòmande nou yo: ofrann brile nou yo avèk sakrifis nou yo, dim nou yo avèk don ki sòti nan men nou yo, ak tout ofrann ve ki pi bèl ke nou va fè kòm ve bay SENYÈ a.
then the LORD your God will choose a dwelling for His Name. And there you are to bring everything I command you: your burnt offerings and sacrifices, your tithes and special gifts, and all the choice offerings you vow to the LORD.
12 “Epi nou va rejwi devan SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, nou menm avèk fis ak fi nou yo, sèvitè ak sèvant nou yo ak Levit ki anndan pòtay nou yo, akoz ke li pa gen pati ni eritaj pami nou.
And you shall rejoice before the LORD your God—you, your sons and daughters, your menservants and maidservants, and the Levite within your gates, since he has no portion or inheritance among you.
13 Fè atansyon pou nou pa ofri ofrann brile tout kote ke nou wè,
Be careful not to offer your burnt offerings in just any place you see;
14 men kote ke SENYÈ a chwazi nan youn nan tribi nou yo. La, nou va ofri ofrann brile yo, e la, nou va fè tout sa ke mwen kòmande nou yo.
you must offer them only in the place the LORD will choose in one of your tribal territories, and there you shall do all that I command you.
15 “Malgre sa, nou gen dwa touye e manje vyann anndan nenpòt nan pòtay nou yo, nenpòt sa ke nou dezire, selon benediksyon SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, sa ke Li te bannou. Sila ki pa pwòp, ak sila ki pwòp kapab manje ladann, tankou antilop la ak sèf la.
But whenever you want, you may slaughter and eat meat within any of your gates, according to the blessing the LORD your God has given you. Both the ceremonially clean and unclean may eat it as they would a gazelle or deer,
16 Sepandan, nou pa pou bwè san an; nou dwe vide li atè tankou dlo.
but you must not eat the blood; pour it on the ground like water.
17 “Nou pa gen dwa manje anndan pòtay nou yo ofrann dim ki sòti nan sereyal yo, ni premye ne nan twoupo ak nan bann mouton nou yo, ni okenn nan ofrann ve yo, ni ofrann bòn volonte nou yo, ni don ki sòti nan men nou yo.
Within your gates you must not eat the tithe of your grain or new wine or oil, the firstborn of your herds or flocks, any of the offerings that you have vowed to give, or your freewill offerings or special gifts.
18 Men nou va manje yo devan SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, kote ke SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an va chwazi a, nou menm avèk fis nou ak fi nou yo, sèvitè ak sèvant lan ak Levit ki anndan pòtay nou yo. Konsa, nou va rejwi devan SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, nan tout sa ke nou antreprann.
Instead, you must eat them in the presence of the LORD your God at the place the LORD your God will choose—you, your sons and daughters, your menservants and maidservants, and the Levite within your gates. Rejoice before the LORD your God in all you do,
19 Fè atansyon pou nou pa abandone Levit la pandan tout tan ke nou rete nan Peyi a.
and be careful not to neglect the Levites as long as you live in your land.
20 “Lè SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, vin fè lizyè nou grandi, jan Li te pwomèt nou an, e nou va di: ‘Mwen va manje vyann,’ akoz ke nou vle manje vyann, nou kapab manje vyann, nenpòt sa ke nou pito.
When the LORD your God expands your territory as He has promised, and you crave meat and say, “I want to eat meat,” you may eat it whenever you want.
21 Si kote ke SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, chwazi pou mete non Li an, twò lwen nou, alò, nou kapab touye nan twoupo nou ak bann mouton nou ke SENYÈ a te bannou yo, jan mwen te kòmande nou an. Konsa, nou kapab manje anndan pòtay nou yo nenpòt sa nou pito.
If the place where the LORD your God chooses to put His Name is too far from you, then you may slaughter any of the herd or flock He has given you, as I have commanded you, and you may eat it within your gates whenever you want.
22 Menm jan ke yon antilòp oswa yon sèf kon sèvi pou manje; konsa, nou va manje li. Moun ki pwòp ni sila ki pa pwòp kapab manje ladann.
Indeed, you may eat it as you would eat a gazelle or deer; both the ceremonially unclean and the clean may eat it.
23 “Sèlman, fè sèten ke nou pa bwè san an, paske san an se lavi, e nou p ap bwè lavi avèk chè a.
Only be sure not to eat the blood, because the blood is the life, and you must not eat the life with the meat.
24 Nou p ap bwè li. Nou va vide li atè tankou dlo.
You must not eat the blood; pour it on the ground like water.
25 Nou p ap bwè li jis pou sa kab ale byen pou nou avèk pitit apre nou yo; paske nou ap fè sa ki bon nan zye SENYÈ a.
Do not eat it, so that it may go well with you and your children after you, because you will be doing what is right in the eyes of the LORD.
26 “Se sèlman bagay ki sen ke nou kapab genyen, ak ofrann ve nou yo, nou va pran pou ale kote ke SENYÈ a chwazi a.
But you are to take your holy things and your vow offerings and go to the place the LORD will choose.
27 Konsa, nou va ofri ofrann brile yo, chè a avèk san an sou lotèl la bay SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an. San sakrifis nou yo va vide sou lotèl la bay SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, epi nou va manje chè a.
Present the meat and blood of your burnt offerings on the altar of the LORD your God. The blood of your other sacrifices must be poured out beside the altar of the LORD your God, but you may eat the meat.
28 “Fè atansyon pou koute tout pawòl sila yo ke mwen kòmande nou, jis pou sa kapab ale byen pou nou ak fis apre nou yo pou tout tan, akoz nou fè sa ki bon e jis nan zye a SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an.
Be careful to obey all these things I command you, so that it may always go well with you and your children after you, because you will be doing what is good and right in the eyes of the LORD your God.
29 “Lè SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, koupe retire devan nou nasyon ke n ap antre deplase yo, epi nou deplase yo e rete nan peyi pa yo,
When the LORD your God cuts off before you the nations you are entering to dispossess, and you drive them out and live in their land,
30 veye ke nou pa antre nan pèlen e swiv yo lè yo fin detwi devan nou; epi ke nou pa chache a dye pa yo, e mande: ‘Kijan nasyon sa yo sèvi dye pa yo? Konsa, mwen va fè menm jan an?’
be careful not to be ensnared by their ways after they have been destroyed before you. Do not inquire about their gods, asking, “How do these nations serve their gods? I will do likewise.”
31 Nou p ap aji konsa anvè SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, paske se tout zèv abominab ke SENYÈ a rayi yo, ke yo kon fè pou dye pa yo. Paske yo konn menm brile pwòp fis ak fi pa yo nan dife dye pa yo.
You must not worship the LORD your God in this way, because they practice for their gods every abomination which the LORD hates. They even burn their sons and daughters in the fire as sacrifices to their gods.
32 “Nenpòt sa ke m kòmande nou, se sa a pou nou fè. Nou p ap ni mete sou li, ni retire ladan l.
See that you do everything I command you; do not add to it or subtract from it.
