Deteronòm 28
1 “Alò, li va rive ke si yo obeyi avèk dilijans SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, e fè atansyon pou fè tout kòmandman Li yo ke mwen kòmande nou jodi a, SENYÈ a va plase nou wo, pi wo pase tout lòt nasyon sou latè yo.
It shall happen, if you shall listen diligently to the voice of YHWH your God, to observe to do all his commandments which I command you this day, that YHWH your God will set you on high above all the nations of the earth:
2 “Tout benediksyon sila yo va vini sou nou, epi yo va tonbe sou nou nèt, si nou tande vwa SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an.
and all these blessings shall come on you, and overtake you, if you shall listen to the voice of YHWH your God.
3 Nou va beni nan vil, e beni andeyò.
You shall be blessed in the city, and you shall be blessed in the field.
4 Beni va fwi a vant nou, pòtre a bèt nou yo, kwasans a twoupo nou yo ak jenn pòtre a bann mouton nou yo.
You shall be blessed in the fruit of your body, the fruit of your ground, the fruit of your animals, the increase of your livestock, and the young of your flock.
5 Beni va panyen nou avèk veso k ap foule pat pen an.
Your basket and your kneading trough shall be blessed.
6 Beni lè nou antre, epi beni lè nou sòti.
You shall be blessed when you come in, and you shall be blessed when you go out.
7 “SENYÈ a va fè lènmi ki leve kont nou yo bat devan nou. Yo va vin parèt kont nou nan yon sèl direksyon, men y ap sove ale devan nou nan sèt direksyon.
YHWH will cause your enemies who rise up against you to be struck before you. They will come out against you one way, and will flee before you seven ways.
8 “SENYÈ a va kòmande benediksyon sou nou nan depo nou yo, nan tout bagay, depi nou mete men nou ladann. Li va beni nou nan peyi ke SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, bannou an.
YHWH will command the blessing on you in your storehouses, and in all that you put your hand to; and he will bless you in the land which YHWH your God gives you.
9 “SENYÈ a va etabli nou kòm yon pèp ki sen a Li Menm, jan Li te sèmante a nou menm nan, si nou kenbe kòmandman a SENYÈ yo, Bondye nou an, pou mache nan chemen Li yo.
YHWH will establish you for a holy people to himself, as he has sworn to you; if you shall keep the commandments of YHWH your God, and walk in his ways.
10 Konsa, tout pèp sou latè yo va wè ke nou rele pa non SENYÈ a, e yo va pè nou.
All the peoples of the earth shall see that you are called by the name of YHWH; and they shall be afraid of you.
11 “SENYÈ a va fè nou ogmante an pwosperite, nan fwi zantray nou, nan fètilite bèt nou yo, ak nan pwodwi tè nou yo, nan peyi ke SENYÈ a, te sèmante a zansèt nou yo pou bannou an.
YHWH will make you plenteous for good, in the fruit of your body, and in the fruit of your livestock, and in the fruit of your ground, in the land which YHWH swore to your fathers to give you.
12 “SENYÈ a va louvri pou nou depo bonte Li a, syèl la, pou bay lapli sou peyi nou nan sezon li, pou beni tout travay a men nou yo. Nou va prete lajan bay anpil nasyon, men nou p ap janm mande prete.
YHWH will open to you his good treasure in the sky, to give the rain of your land in its season, and to bless all the work of your hand: and you shall lend to many nations, and you shall not borrow.
13 SENYÈ a va fè nou tèt olye de ke. Nou va anwo tou sèl, e nou p ap anba, si nou koute kòmandman a SENYÈ yo, Bondye nou an, ke mwen pase lòd bannou jodi a, pou nou swiv avèk atansyon,
YHWH will make you the head, and not the tail; and you shall be above only, and you shall not be beneath; if you shall listen to the commandments of YHWH your God, which I command you this day, to observe and to do,
14 epi pa vire akote okenn nan pawòl ke mwen kòmande nou jodi a, ni adwat, ni agoch, pou ale apre lòt dye yo pou sèvi yo.
and shall not turn aside from any of the words which I command you this day, to the right hand, or to the left, to go after other gods to serve them.
15 “Men li va vin rive ke si nou pa obeyi SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, pou swiv tout kòmandman Li yo avèk lwa Li yo ke mwen pase lòd bannou jodi a, ke tout malediksyon sa yo va vini sou nou, pou pran nou.
But it shall come to pass, if you will not listen to the voice of YHWH your God, to observe to do all his commandments and his statutes which I command you this day, that all these curses shall come on you, and overtake you.
16 “Modi nou va ye nan vil la, epi modi nou va ye andeyò.
You shall be cursed in the city, and you shall be cursed in the field.
17 “Modi va panyen nou ak bòl k ap pote pen nou.
Your basket and your kneading trough shall be cursed.
18 “Modi va fwi zantray nou ak pwodwi a tè nou yo, kwasans twoupo a, avèk jenn pòtre bann mouton nou yo.
The fruit of your body, the fruit of your ground, the increase of your livestock, and the young of your flock shall be cursed.
19 “Modi nou va ye lè nou antre, epi modi nou va ye lè nou sòti.
You shall be cursed when you come in, and you shall be cursed when you go out.
20 “SENYÈ a va voye sou nou madichon, twoub, avèk menas nan tout sa nou eseye fè, jiskaske nou fin detwi nèt, akoz mechanste a zèv nou yo, akoz ke nou te abandone mwen.
YHWH will send on you cursing, confusion, and rebuke, in all that you put your hand to do, until you are destroyed, and until you perish quickly; because of the evil of your doings, by which you have forsaken me.
21 “SENYÈ a va fè gwo epidemi vin kole sou nou jiskaske li fin manje nou soti nan peyi kote nou ap antre pou posede a.
YHWH will make the pestilence cling to you, until he has consumed you from off the land, where you go in to possess it.
22 “SENYÈ a va frape nou avèk epidemi tibèkiloz ak lafyèv, enflamasyon ak chalè ki brile, avèk nepe, maladi ki seche jaden, avèk pichon. Yo va kouri dèyè nou jiskaske nou mouri.
YHWH will strike you with consumption, and with fever, and with inflammation, and with fiery heat, and with the sword, and with blight, and with mildew; and they shall pursue you until you perish.
23 Syèl sou tèt nou an va vin bwonz, epi tè anba pye nou an va vin fè.
Your sky that is over your head shall be bronze, and the earth that is under you shall be iron.
24 SENYÈ a va fè lapli tè nou an avèk poud e pousyè ki soti nan syèl la. Li va tonbe sou nou jiskaske nou fin detwi.
YHWH will make the rain of your land powder and dust: from the sky shall it come down on you, until you are destroyed.
25 “SENYÈ a va lakoz ke nou vin bat devan lènmi nou yo. Nou va sòti yon direksyon kont yo e nou va sove ale nan sèt direksyon devan yo. Konsa, nou va jete ale retou pami tout wayòm latè yo.
YHWH will cause you to be struck before your enemies; you shall go out one way against them, and shall flee seven ways before them: and you shall be tossed back and forth among all the kingdoms of the earth.
26 Kadav nou va fè manje pou zwazo anlè yo ak bèt sovaj latè yo. Epi konsa, p ap gen moun ki pou chase yo ale.
Your dead body shall be food to all birds of the sky, and to the animals of the earth; and there shall be none to frighten them away.
27 “SENYÈ a va frape nou avèk abse Égypte yo, avèk timè e avèk kal sou po nou, ak gratèl, nan sila p ap gen gerizon yo.
YHWH will strike you with the boil of Egypt, and with the tumors, and with the scurvy, and with the itch, of which you can not be healed.
28 “SENYÈ a va frape nou pou fè nou fou, avèg ak sezi nan kè.
YHWH will strike you with madness, and with blindness, and with astonishment of heart;
29 Nou va tatonnen gwo midi, tankou yon avèg tatonnen nan tenèb, epi nou pa p pwospere nan zafè nou yo. Men nou va tout tan oprime e kontinyèlman viktim vòl, san genyen pèsòn pou bannou sekou.
and you shall grope at noonday, as the blind gropes in darkness, and you shall not prosper in your ways: and you shall be only oppressed and robbed always, and there shall be none to save you.
30 “Nou va fiyanse yon madanm, men yon lòt mesye va vyole li. Nou va bati yon kay, men nou p ap viv ladann. Nou va plante yon chan rezen, men nou p ap sèvi nan fwi li.
You shall betroth a wife, and another man shall lie with her: you shall build a house, and you shall not dwell in it: you shall plant a vineyard, and shall not use its fruit.
31 “Bèf nou va touye devan zye nou, men nou p ap manje ladann. Bourik nou va rache nan men nou, e yo p ap remèt bannou. Mouton nou va bay a lènmi nou yo, e nou p ap gen okenn moun ki pou sove nou.
Your ox shall be slain before your eyes, and you shall not eat of it: your donkey shall be violently taken away from before your face, and shall not be restored to you: your sheep shall be given to your enemies, and you shall have none to save you.
32 “Fis nou yo ak fi nou yo va bay a yon lòt pèp. Zye nou yo ap gade sou sa e anvi wè yo tout tan, men p ap gen anyen nou kapab fè.
Your sons and your daughters shall be given to another people; and your eyes shall look, and fail with longing for them all the day: and there shall be nothing in the power of your hand.
33 “Yon pèp nou pa menm konnen va vin manje pwodwi a tè nou yo ak tout travay nou yo. Nou p ap janm wè anyen sof ke oprime e kraze tout tan.
The fruit of your ground, and all your labors, shall a nation which you do not know eat up; and you shall be only oppressed and crushed always;
34 Sa nou wè ak zè nou va fè nou vin fou nèt.
so that you shall be mad for the sight of your eyes which you shall see.
35 SENYÈ a va frape nou sou jenou ak janm avèk abse ki fè mal, ki pa gen gerizon soti anba pye nou rive jis anwo tèt nou.
YHWH will strike you in the knees, and in the legs, with a sore boil, of which you can not be healed, from the sole of your foot to the crown of your head.
36 “SENYÈ a va mennen nou avèk wa ke nou mete sou nou yo, a yon nasyon ki ni nou menm, ni zansèt nou yo pa t konnen. Epi la, nou va sèvi lòt dye yo, fèt ak bwa ak wòch.
YHWH will bring you, and your king whom you shall set over you, to a nation that you have not known, you nor your fathers; and there you shall serve other gods, wood and stone.
37 Nou va devni yon objè meprize etonan, yon pwovèb, yon plezi pami tout pèp kote SENYÈ a pouse nou ale yo.
You shall become an astonishment, a proverb, and a byword, among all the peoples where YHWH shall lead you away.
38 “Nou va pote anpil semans nan chan yo, men nou va ranmase piti, paske krikèt yo va manje yo.
You shall carry much seed out into the field, and shall gather little in; for the locust shall consume it.
39 Nou va plante e kiltive chan rezen yo, men nou p ap bwè diven, ni ranmase fwi yo, paske vè va devore yo.
You shall plant vineyards and dress them, but you shall neither drink of the wine, nor harvest; for the worm shall eat them.
40 Nou va genyen pye doliv nan tout teritwa nou yo, men nou p ap onksyone nou avèk lwil, paske fwi doliv yo va tonbe.
You shall have olive trees throughout all your borders, but you shall not anoint yourself with the oil; for your olives shall drop off.
41 “Nou va gen fis ak fi, men yo p ap pou nou, paske yo va antre an kaptivite.
You shall father sons and daughters, but they shall not be yours; for they shall go into captivity.
42 “Krikèt va posede tout bwa ak pwodwi latè nou yo.
All your trees and the fruit of your ground shall the locust possess.
43 “Etranje ki pami nou an, va leve pi wo e pi wo ke nou, men nou va desann piba, e piba.
The foreigner who is in the midst of you shall mount up above you higher and higher; and you shall come down lower and lower.
44 Li va prete nou lajan, men nou p ap gen pou prete li. Li va tèt, nou menm, nou va ke.
He shall lend to you, and you shall not lend to him: he shall be the head, and you shall be the tail.
45 “Konsa tout madichon sa yo va vini sou nou pou pran nou jiskaske nou fin detwi, akoz nou pa t obeyi SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an. Nou pa t kenbe Kòmandman Li yo ak lwa Li yo, ke Li te kòmande nou.
All these curses shall come on you, and shall pursue you, and overtake you, until you are destroyed; because you did not listen to the voice of YHWH your God, to keep his commandments and his statutes which he commanded you:
46 “Madichon sa yo va devni yon sign ak yon mèvèy pou nou ak desandan nou yo jis pou tout tan.
and they shall be on you for a sign and for a wonder, and on your descendants forever.
47 Akoz nou pa t sèvi SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, pou nou ta twouve tout bagay, avèk jwa ak kè kontan.
Because you did not serve YHWH your God with joyfulness, and with gladness of heart, by reason of the abundance of all things;
48 Pou sa, nou va sèvi lènmi nou yo ke SENYÈ a va voye kont nou, nan grangou, nan swaf, nan toutouni ak nan manke tout bagay. Konsa, Li va mete yon jouk fèt an fè sou kou nou jiskaske Li fin detwi nou.
therefore you shall serve your enemies whom YHWH shall send against you, in hunger, and in thirst, and in nakedness, and in want of all things: and he shall put a yoke of iron on your neck, until he has destroyed you.
49 “SENYÈ a va mennen yon nasyon kont nou soti lwen nan dènye pwent latè, tankou èg desann; yon nasyon ak yon langaj nou p ap konprann,
YHWH will bring a nation against you from far away, from a distant land, as the eagle flies; a nation whose language you shall not understand;
50 yon nasyon, avèk figi fewòs, ki p ap gen respè pou ansyen yo, ni montre favè a jèn yo.
a nation of fierce facial expressions, that shall not respect the person of the old, nor show favor to the young,
51 Yo va manje fwi a twoupo nou yo ak pwodwi a tè nou yo jiskaske nou fin detwi. Yo p ap kite anyen, ni diven nèf la, ni lwil, ni fwi a twoupo nou yo oswa bann mouton nou yo jiskaske yo fè nou mouri.
and shall eat the fruit of your livestock, and the fruit of your ground, until you are destroyed; that also shall not leave you grain, new wine, or oil, the increase of your livestock, or the young of your flock, until they have caused you to perish.
52 Yo va mete syèj sou nou nan tout vil nou yo jiskaske miray wo byen fòtifye nan sila nou te mete konfyans nou yo tonbe atravè peyi nou an. Yo va fè syèj sou nou nan vil nou yo nan tout peyi ke SENYÈ a te bannou an.
They shall besiege you in all your gates, until your high and fortified walls come down, in which you trusted, throughout all your land; and they shall besiege you in all your gates throughout all your land, which YHWH your God has given you.
53 “Konsa, nou va vin manje pitit a pwòp vant nou, chè a fis nou yo avèk fi nou yo ke SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, te bannou yo, pandan syèj la, ak tan rèd lan lè lènmi nou yo oprime nou.
You shall eat the fruit of your own body, the flesh of your sons and of your daughters, whom YHWH your God has given you, in the siege and in the distress with which your enemies shall distress you.
54 “Nonm pami nou ki byen rafine e ki janti a va vin sovaj anvè frè li, anvè madanm ke li renmen anpil la, ak anvè tout lòt pitit li ki rete yo,
The man who is tender among you, and very delicate, his eye shall be evil toward his brother, and toward the wife of his bosom, and toward the remnant of his children whom he has remaining;
55 jis li p ap bay menm youn nan yo okenn nan chè a pitit li ke li va manje a; akoz nanpwen anyen ki rete, pandan syèj la ak tan di anpil la, pa sila ke lènmi nou yo va oprime nou nan tout vil nou yo.
so that he will not give to any of them of the flesh of his children whom he shall eat, because he has nothing left him, in the siege and in the distress with which your enemy shall distress you in all your gates.
56 “Fanm pami nou ki byen rafine e ki janti a, ki pa t ap eseye menm mete pye li atè tèlman li rafine e janti, li va vin sovaj anvè mari li ke li renmen anpil la, anvè fis li avèk fi li,
The tender and delicate woman among you, who would not adventure to set the sole of her foot on the ground for delicateness and tenderness, her eye shall be evil toward the husband of her bosom, and toward her son, and toward her daughter,
57 epi anvè vant ki sòti antre janm li yo lè l fè pitit e anvè pitit li yo ke li fè; paske li va manje yo an sekrè akoz mank tout lòt bagay pandan syèj la, e akoz soufrans pa sila lènmi nou va oprime nou nan vil nou yo.
and toward her young one who comes out from between her feet, and toward her children whom she shall bear; for she shall eat them for want of all things secretly, in the siege and in the distress with which your enemy shall distress you in your gates.
58 “Konsa, si nou pa fè atansyon pou swiv tout pawòl a lwa sila yo ki ekri nan liv sila yo, avèk krent non sa a ki plen onè e ki mèvèye la, SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an,
If you will not observe to do all the words of this law that are written in this book, that you may fear this glorious and fearful name, YHWH your God;
59 alò, SENYÈ a va mennen toumant ekstrawòdinè vin sou nou avèk desandan nou yo, menm gran toumant ki sevè e ki dire anpil, epidemi ki pa janm fini, e maladi ki rete mize.
then YHWH will make your plagues extraordinary, and the plagues of your descendants, even great plagues, and of long continuance, and severe sicknesses, and of long continuance.
60 Li va fè retounen sou nou tout maladi Égypte ke nou pè yo e yo va kole sou nou.
He will bring on you again all the diseases of Egypt, which you were afraid of; and they shall cling to you.
61 Osi, tout kalite maladi ak toumant ki pa menm ekri nan liv lalwa sila a, SENYÈ a va mennen yo sou nou jiskaske nou fin detwi.
Also every sickness, and every plague, which is not written in the book of this law, YHWH will bring them on you, until you are destroyed.
62 “Konsa, nou va rete piti an kantite, malgre avan nou te gran an kantite tankou zetwal syèl yo, akoz ke nou pa t obeyi SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an.
You shall be left few in number, whereas you were as the stars of the sky for multitude; because you did not listen to the voice of YHWH your God.
63 “Li va rive ke menm jan SENYÈ a te fè kè kontan sou nou pou fè nou pwospere e miltipliye nou an; konsa, SENYÈ a va fè kè kontan sou nou pou fè nou peri e detwi nou. Nou va chire sòti nan tè ke nou ap antre pou posede a.
It shall happen that as YHWH rejoiced over you to do you good, and to multiply you, so YHWH will rejoice over you to cause you to perish, and to destroy you; and you shall be plucked from off the land where you go in to possess it.
64 “Anplis, SENYÈ a va fè nou gaye pami tout pèp la jis soti nan pwent latè pou rive nan lòt la. Epi la, nou va sèvi lòt dye yo, bwa avèk wòch, ke nou menm avèk zansèt nou yo pa t janm konnen.
YHWH will scatter you among all peoples, from the one end of the earth even to the other end of the earth; and there you shall serve other gods, which you have not known, you nor your fathers, even wood and stone.
65 Pami nasyon sila yo, nou p ap twouve repo, ni p ap gen plas repo pou pla pye nou. Men la, SENYÈ a va bannou kè sote, zye ki febli ak nanm ki pèdi espwa.
Among these nations you shall find no ease, and there shall be no rest for the sole of your foot: but YHWH will give you there a trembling heart, and failing of eyes, and pining of soul;
66 “Konsa, lavi nou va pandye nan dout devan nou. Nou va gen gwo laperèz lannwit kon lajounen, ni nou p ap gen asirans lavi nou.
and your life shall hang in doubt before you; and you shall fear night and day, and shall have no assurance of your life.
67 “Nan maten, nou va di: ‘Pito lannwit te rive’, e nan aswè, nou va di: ‘Pito se te maten!’ akoz krent kè nou ki bannou laperèz e pou vizyon a zye nou ke yo va wè.
In the morning you shall say, "I wish it were evening." and at evening you shall say, "I wish it were morning." for the fear of your heart which you shall fear, and for the sight of your eyes which you shall see.
68 “SENYÈ a va mennen nou retounen an Égypte nan gwo bato, pa chemen ke m te pale nou an: ‘Nou p ap janm wè li ankò!’ Epi la, nou va ofri tèt nou menm pou vann a lènmi nou yo kòm esklav mal ak femèl, men p ap gen moun pou achte nou.”
YHWH will bring you into Egypt again with ships, by the way of which I said to you, You shall see it no more again: and there you shall sell yourselves to your enemies for bondservants and for bondmaids, and no man shall buy you.
