Deteronòm 26
1 “Konsa, li va rive ke lè nou antre nan peyi ke SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, te bannou kòm eritaj la, epi nou vin posede li pou viv ladann,
“And when you will have entered into the land which the Lord your God will give to you to possess, and when you will have obtained it and are living within it:
2 ke nou va pran kèk nan premye a tout pwodwi latè ke nou mennen antre sòti nan peyi ke SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, te bannou an. Nou va mete li nan yon panyen e ale kote SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, nan plas SENYÈ Bondye nou va chwazi pou etabli non Li an.
you shall take the first of all your crops, and place them in a basket, and you shall travel to the place which the Lord your God will choose, so that his name may be invoked there.
3 Nou va ale vè prèt ki anplas nan tan sa a, e nou va di li: ‘Mwen deklare nan jou sa a SENYÈ a, Bondye ou, ke mwen te antre nan peyi ke SENYÈ a te sèmante a zansèt nou yo pou bannou an.’”
And you shall approach the priest who will be in those days, and you shall say to him: ‘I profess this day, before the Lord your God, that I have entered into the land about which he swore to our fathers that he would give it to us.’
4 “Alò, prèt la va pran panyen an soti nan men ou e mete li devan lotèl SENYÈ a, Bondye ou a.
And the priest, taking up the basket from your hand, shall place it before the altar of the Lord your God.
5 “Ou va reponn e di devan SENYÈ a, Bondye ou a: ‘Papa m te yon vwayajè Arameyen fèt pou peri. Li te desann an Égypte, e li te demere la. Yo te piti an kantite, men la, li te devni yon gran nasyon pwisan avèk anpil moun.
And you shall say, in the sight of the Lord your God: ‘The Syrian pursued my father, who descended into Egypt, and he sojourned there in a very small number, and he increased into a great and strong nation and into an innumerable multitude.
6 Ejipsyen yo te trete nou byen di e te aflije nou. Yo te enpoze travay fòse sou nou.
And the Egyptians afflicted us, and they persecuted us, imposing upon us the most grievous burdens.
7 Alò, nou te kriye a SENYÈ a, Bondye a zansèt nou yo, epi SENYÈ a te tande vwa nou e te wè afliksyon nou avèk travay di ak opresyon yo.
And we cried out to the Lord, the God of our fathers. He heard us, and he looked with favor upon our humiliation, and hardship, and distress.
8 Konsa, SENYÈ a te mennen nou sòti an Égypte avèk yon men pwisan, yon bra lonje, avèk gwo krent, avèk sign ak mèvèy.
And he led us away from Egypt, with a strong hand and an outstretched arm, with a mighty terror, with signs and wonders.
9 Li te mennen nou nan kote sa a, e te bannou peyi sa a, yon peyi k ap koule avèk lèt ak siwo myèl.
And he led us into this place, and he delivered to us the land flowing with milk and honey.
10 “‘Koulye a, veye byen, mwen te mennen premye pwodwi a tè a, ke Ou menm, O SENYÈ a te ban mwen.’ Ou va mete li la devan SENYÈ a, Bondye ou a, epi adore devan SENYÈ a, Bondye ou a;
And because of this, I now offer the first fruits of the land which the Lord has given to me.’ And you shall leave them in the sight of the Lord your God, and you shall adore the Lord your God.
11 epi ou menm avèk Levit la ak etranje ki pami nou an va rejwi nan tout bonte ke SENYÈ a, Bondye ou a, te bannou avèk tout lakay nou.
And you shall feast on all the good things which the Lord your God will give to you and to your house: you, and the Levite, and the new arrival who is with you.
12 “Lè nou fin peye tout dim a pwodwi yo nan twazyèm ane a, ane a dim nan; alò, nou va bay li a Levit la, a etranje a, a òfelen an, e a vèv la, pou yo kapab manje nan vil nou yo e vin satisfè.
When you will have completed the tithing of all your crops, in the third year of tithes, you shall give it to the Levite, and to the new arrival, and to the orphan, and to the widow, so that they may eat within your gates and be satisfied.
13 “Nou va di devan SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, ‘Mwen te retire pòsyon sen ki te lakay mwen an; epi osi, mwen te bay li a Levit la ak etranje a, avèk òfelen ak vèv la, selon tout kòmandman Ou yo, ke Ou te kòmande mwen. Mwen pa t vyole ni bliye okenn nan kòmandman Ou yo.
And you shall say, in the sight of the Lord your God: ‘I have taken what was sanctified from my house, and I have given it to the Levite, and to the new arrival, and to the orphan and the widow, just as you have commanded me. I have not transgressed your commandments, nor have I forgotten your precepts.
14 Mwen pa t manje ladann pandan lamantasyon mwen, ni mwen pa t retire anyen ladann pandan mwen pa t pwòp, ni pa t ofri anyen nan li a mò yo. Mwen te koute vwa SENYÈ a, Bondye mwen an. Mwen te fè selon tout sa ke Ou te kòmande mwen yo.
I have not eaten from these things in my grief, nor have I separated them due to any kind of uncleanness, nor have I expended any of these things in funerals. I have obeyed the voice of the Lord my God, and I have done all things just as you have instructed me.
15 Gade anba depi nan abitasyon sen Ou an, depi nan syèl la, e beni pèp Ou a, Israël avèk tè ke Ou te bannou an, yon tè ki koule avèk lèt ak siwo myèl, jan Ou te sèmante a zansèt nou yo.’
Look with favor from your sanctuary and from your lofty habitation amid the heavens, and bless your people Israel and the land which you have given to us, just as you swore to our fathers, a land flowing with milk and honey.’
16 “Nan jou sa a, SENYÈ a Bondye nou an, kòmande nou pou fè lwa avèk règleman sila yo. Nou va fè atansyon pou fè yo avèk tout kè nou e avèk tout nanm nou.
Today the Lord your God has instructed you to carry out these commandments and judgments, and to keep and fulfill them, with all your heart and with all your soul.
17 “Jodi a, nou te pwoklame SENYÈ a, se Bondye nou, ke nou ta mache nan chemen Li yo, kenbe lwa Li yo, règleman Li yo ak kòmandman Li yo, e koute vwa Li.
Today, you have chosen the Lord to be your God, so that you may walk in his ways, and keep his ceremonies and commandments and judgments, and obey his command.
18 “Jodi a, SENYÈ a te pwoklame nou se pèp Li, yon posesyon presye, jan Li te pwomèt nou an, epi nou ta dwe kenbe tout kòmandman Li yo.
Today, the Lord has chosen you, so that you may be his particular people, just as he has spoken to you, and so that you may keep all his precepts,
19 Konsa, Li va plase nou wo anwo tout lòt nasyon ke Li te fè yo, pou lwanj, repitasyon ak onè, pou nou kapab yon pèp konsakre a SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, jan Li te pale a.”
and so that he may cause you to be more exalted than all the nations which he has created, for the sake of his own praise and name and glory, in order that you may be a holy people for the Lord your God, just as he has spoken.”
