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 hath been, when thou comest in unto the land which Jehovah thy God is giving to thee — an inheritance, and thou hast possessed it, and dwelt 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 thou hast taken of the first of all the fruits of the ground which thou dost bring in out of thy land which Jehovah thy God is giving to thee, and hast put [it] in a basket, and gone unto the place which Jehovah thy God doth choose to cause His name to tabernacle 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 hast come in unto the priest who is in those days, and hast said unto him, I have declared to-day to Jehovah thy God, that I have come in unto the land which Jehovah hath sworn to our fathers to give 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 hath taken the basket out of thy hand, and placed it before the altar of Jehovah thy 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 thou hast answered and said before Jehovah thy God, A perishing Aramaean [is] my father! and he goeth down to Egypt, and sojourneth there with few men, and becometh there a nation, great, mighty, and numerous;
6 Ejipsyen yo te trete nou byen di e te aflije nou. Yo te enpoze travay fòse sou nou.
and the Egyptians do us evil, and afflict us, and put on us hard service;
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 cry unto Jehovah, God of our fathers, and Jehovah heareth our voice, and seeth 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 Jehovah bringeth us out from Egypt, by a strong hand, and by a stretched-out arm, and by great fear, and by signs, and by 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 bringeth us in unto this place, and giveth to 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;
'And now, lo, I have brought in the first of the fruits of the ground which thou hast given to me, O Jehovah; — and thou hast placed it before Jehovah thy God, and bowed thyself before Jehovah thy 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 rejoiced in all the good which Jehovah thy God hath given to thee, and to thy house, thou, and the Levite, and the sojourner who [is] in thy midst.
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 dost complete to tithe all the tithe of thine increase in the third year, the year of the tithe, then thou hast given to the Levite, to the sojourner, to the fatherless, and to the widow, and they have eaten within thy gates, and been 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 thou hast said before Jehovah thy God, I have put away the separated thing out of the house, and also have given it to the Levite, and to the sojourner, and to the orphan, and to the widow, according to all Thy command which Thou hast commanded me; I have not passed over from Thy commands, nor have I forgotten.
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 in mine affliction of it, nor have I put away of it for uncleanness, nor have I given of it for the dead; I have hearkened to the voice of Jehovah my God; I 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 from Thy holy habitation, from the heavens, and bless Thy people Israel, and the ground which Thou hast given to us, as Thou hast sworn 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.
'This day Jehovah thy God is commanding thee to do these statutes and judgments; and thou hast hearkened and done them with all thy 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.
Jehovah thou hast caused to promise to-day to become thy God, and to walk in His ways, and to keep His statutes, and His commands, and His judgments, and to hearken 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.
'And Jehovah hath caused thee to promise to-day to become His people, a peculiar treasure, as He hath spoken to thee, and to keep all His commands;
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.”
so as to make thee uppermost above all the nations whom He hath made for a praise, and for a name, and for beauty, and for thy being a holy people to Jehovah thy God, as He hath spoken.
