< 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,
It shall be, when you have come in to the land which Yahweh your God gives you for an inheritance, possess it, and dwell in 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.
that you shall take some of the first of all the fruit of the ground, which you shall bring in from your land that Yahweh your God gives you. You shall put it in a basket, and shall go to the place which Yahweh your God shall choose to cause his name to dwell 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.’”
You shall come to the priest who shall be in those days, and tell him, “I profess today to Yahweh your God, that I have come to the land which Yahweh swore to our fathers 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.
The priest shall take the basket out of your hand, and set it down before Yahweh your God’s altar.
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.
You shall answer and say before Yahweh your God, “My father was a Syrian ready to perish. He went down into Egypt, and lived there, few in number. There he became a great, mighty, and populous nation.
6 Ejipsyen yo te trete nou byen di e te aflije nou. Yo te enpoze travay fòse sou nou.
The Egyptians mistreated us, afflicted us, and imposed hard labor on us.
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.
Then we cried to Yahweh, the God of our fathers. Yahweh heard our voice, and saw our affliction, our toil, 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.
Yahweh brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand, with an outstretched arm, with great terror, 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 has brought us into this place, and has given us this land, a 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;
Now, behold, I have brought the first of the fruit of the ground, which you, Yahweh, have given me.” You shall set it down before Yahweh your God, and worship before Yahweh 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.
You shall rejoice in all the good which Yahweh your God has given to you, and to your house, you, and the Levite, and the foreigner who 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 you have finished tithing all the tithe of your increase in the third year, which is the year of tithing, then you shall give it to the Levite, to the foreigner, to the fatherless, and to the widow, that they may eat within your 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.
You shall say before Yahweh your God, “I have put away the holy things out of my house, and also have given them to the Levite, to the foreigner, to the fatherless, and to the widow, according to all your commandment which you have commanded me. I have not transgressed any of your 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 of it in my mourning, neither have I removed any of it while I was unclean, nor given of it for the dead. I have listened to Yahweh my God’s voice. I have done according to all that you have 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 your holy habitation, from heaven, and bless your people Israel, and the ground which you have given us, 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 Yahweh your God commands you to do these statutes and ordinances. You shall therefore keep and do 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.
You have declared today that Yahweh is your God, and that you would walk in his ways, keep his statutes, his commandments, and his ordinances, and listen to 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.
Yahweh has declared today that you are a people for his own possession, as he has promised you, and that you should 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.”
He will make you high above all nations that he has made, in praise, in name, and in honor, and that you may be a holy people to Yahweh your God, as he has spoken.
