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 it shall be, when thou art come in unto the land which YHWH thy Elohim giveth thee for an inheritance, and possessest it, and dwellest therein;
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.
That thou shalt take of the first of all the fruit of the earth, which thou shalt bring of thy land that YHWH thy Elohim giveth thee, and shalt put it in a basket, and shalt go unto the place which YHWH thy Elohim shall choose to place his name 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 thou shalt go unto the priest that shall be in those days, and say unto him, I profess this day unto YHWH thy Elohim, that I am come unto the country which YHWH sware unto our fathers for to give 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 shall take the basket out of thine hand, and set it down before the altar of YHWH thy Elohim.
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 thou shalt speak and say before YHWH thy Elohim, A Syrian ready to perish was my father, and he went down into Egypt, and sojourned there with a few, and became there a nation, great, mighty, and populous:
6 Ejipsyen yo te trete nou byen di e te aflije nou. Yo te enpoze travay fòse sou nou.
And the Egyptians evil entreated us, and afflicted us, and laid upon us hard bondage:
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 when we cried unto YHWH Elohim of our fathers, YHWH heard our voice, and looked on our affliction, and our labour, and our oppression:
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 YHWH brought us forth out of Egypt with a mighty hand, and with an outstretched arm, and with great terribleness, and with signs, and with 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 hath brought us into this place, and hath given us this land, even a land that floweth 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 now, behold, I have brought the firstfruits of the land, which thou, O YHWH, hast given me. And thou shalt set it before YHWH thy Elohim, and worship before YHWH thy Elohim:
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 thou shalt rejoice in every good thing which YHWH thy Elohim hath given unto thee, and unto thine house, thou, and the Levite, and the stranger that is among 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 thou hast made an end of tithing all the tithes of thine increase the third year, which is the year of tithing, and hast given it unto the Levite, the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow, that they may eat within thy gates, and be filled;
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.
Then thou shalt say before YHWH thy Elohim, I have brought away the hallowed things out of mine house, and also have given them unto the Levite, and unto the stranger, to the fatherless, and to the widow, according to all thy commandments which thou hast commanded me: I have not transgressed thy commandments, neither have I forgotten them.
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 thereof in my mourning, neither have I taken away ought thereof for any unclean use, nor given ought thereof for the dead: but I have hearkened to the voice of YHWH my Elohim, and have done according to all that thou hast commanded 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 down from thy holy habitation, from heaven, and bless thy people Israel, and the land which thou hast given us, as thou swarest unto our fathers, a land that floweth 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.
This day YHWH thy Elohim hath commanded thee to do these statutes and judgments: thou shalt therefore keep and do them with all thine heart, and with all thy 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.
Thou hast avouched YHWH this day to be thy Elohim, and to walk in his ways, and to keep his statutes, and his commandments, and his judgments, and to hearken unto his voice:
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.
And YHWH hath avouched thee this day to be his peculiar people, as he hath promised thee, and that thou shouldest keep all his commandments;
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 to make thee high above all nations which he hath made, in praise, and in name, and in honour; and that thou mayest be an holy people unto YHWH thy Elohim, as he hath spoken.
