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.
'And it hath been, if thou dost hearken diligently to the voice of Jehovah thy God, to observe to do all His commands which I am commanding thee to-day, that Jehovah thy God hath made thee uppermost 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 have come upon thee, and overtaken thee, because thou dost hearken to the voice of Jehovah thy God:
3 Nou va beni nan vil, e beni andeyò.
'Blessed [art] thou in the city, and blessed [art] thou 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.
'Blessed [is] the fruit of thy womb, and the fruit of thy ground, and the fruit of thy cattle, increase of thine oxen, and wealth of thy flock.
5 Beni va panyen nou avèk veso k ap foule pat pen an.
'Blessed [is] thy basket and thy kneading-trough.
6 Beni lè nou antre, epi beni lè nou sòti.
'Blessed [art] thou in thy coming in, and blessed [art] thou in thy going 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.
'Jehovah giveth thine enemies, who are rising up against thee — smitten before thy face; in one way they come out unto thee, and in seven ways they flee before thee.
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.
'Jehovah commandeth with thee the blessing in thy storehouses, and in every putting forth of thy hand, and hath blessed thee in the land which Jehovah thy God is giving to thee.
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.
'Jehovah doth establish thee to Himself for a holy people, as He hath sworn to thee, when thou keepest the commands of Jehovah thy God, and hast walked in His ways;
10 Konsa, tout pèp sou latè yo va wè ke nou rele pa non SENYÈ a, e yo va pè nou.
and all the peoples of the land have seen that the name of Jehovah is called upon thee, and they have been afraid of thee.
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.
'And Jehovah hath made thee abundant in good, in the fruit of the womb, and in the fruit of thy cattle, and in the fruit of thy ground, on the ground which Jehovah hath sworn to thy fathers to give to thee.
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.
'Jehovah doth open to thee his good treasure — the heavens — to give the rain of thy land in its season, and to bless all the work of thy hand, and thou hast lent to many nations, and thou — thou dost 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,
'And Jehovah hath given thee for head, and not for tail; and thou hast been only above, and art not beneath, for thou dost hearken unto the commands of Jehovah thy God, which I am commanding thee to-day, to keep 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 thou dost not turn aside from all the words which I am commanding you to-day — right or 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.
'And it hath been, if thou dost not hearken unto the voice of Jehovah thy God to observe to do all His commands, and His statutes, which I am commanding thee to-day, that all these revilings have come upon thee, and overtaken thee:
16 “Modi nou va ye nan vil la, epi modi nou va ye andeyò.
'Cursed [art] thou in the city, and cursed [art] thou in the field.
17 “Modi va panyen nou ak bòl k ap pote pen nou.
'Cursed [is] thy basket and thy kneading-trough.
18 “Modi va fwi zantray nou ak pwodwi a tè nou yo, kwasans twoupo a, avèk jenn pòtre bann mouton nou yo.
'Cursed [is] the fruit of thy body, and the fruit of thy land, increase of thine oxen, and wealth of thy flock.
19 “Modi nou va ye lè nou antre, epi modi nou va ye lè nou sòti.
'Cursed [art] thou in thy coming in, and cursed [art] thou in thy going 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.
'Jehovah doth send on thee the curse, the trouble, and the rebuke, in every putting forth of thy hand which thou dost, till thou art destroyed, and till thou perish hastily, because of the evil of thy doings [by] which thou hast 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.
'Jehovah doth cause to cleave to thee the pestilence, till He consume thee from off the ground whither thou art going 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.
'Jehovah doth smite thee with consumption, and with fever, and with inflammation, and with extreme burning, and with sword, and with blasting, and with mildew, and they have pursued thee till thou perish
23 Syèl sou tèt nou an va vin bwonz, epi tè anba pye nou an va vin fè.
'And thy heavens which [are] over thy head have been brass, and the earth which [is] under thee 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.
Jehovah giveth the rain of thy land — dust and ashes; from the heavens it cometh down on thee till thou art 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.
'Jehovah giveth thee smitten before thine enemies; in one way thou goest out unto them, and in seven ways dost flee before them, and thou hast been for a trembling to all 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.
and thy carcase hath been for food to every fowl of the heavens, and to the beast of the earth, and there is none causing trembling.
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.
'Jehovah doth smite thee with the ulcer of Egypt, and with emerods, and with scurvy, and with itch, of which thou art not able to be healed.
28 “SENYÈ a va frape nou pou fè nou fou, avèg ak sezi nan kè.
'Jehovah doth smite thee 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 thou hast been gropling at noon, as the blind gropeth in darkness; and thou dost not cause thy ways to prosper; and thou hast been only oppressed and plundered all the days, and there is no saviour.
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.
'A woman thou dost betroth, and another man doth lie with her; a house thou dost build, and dost not dwell in it; a vineyard thou dost plant, and dost not make it common;
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.
thine ox [is] slaughtered before thine eyes, and thou dost not eat of it; thine ass [is] taken violently away from before thee, and it is not given back to thee; thy sheep [are] given to thine enemies, and there is no saviour for thee.
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.
'Thy sons and thy daughters [are] given to another people, and thine eyes are looking and consuming for them all the day, and thy hand is not to God!
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 thy ground, and all thy labour, eat up doth a people whom thou hast not known; and thou hast been only oppressed and bruised all the days;
34 Sa nou wè ak zè nou va fè nou vin fou nèt.
and thou hast been mad, because of the sight of thine eyes which thou dost 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.
'Jehovah doth smite thee with an evil ulcer, on the knees, and on the legs (of which thou art not able to be healed), from the sole of thy foot even unto thy crown.
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.
'Jehovah doth cause thee to go, and thy king whom thou raisest up over thee, unto a nation which thou hast not known, thou and thy fathers, and thou hast served there 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.
and thou hast been for an astonishment, for a simile, and for a byword among all the peoples whither Jehovah doth lead thee.
38 “Nou va pote anpil semans nan chan yo, men nou va ranmase piti, paske krikèt yo va manje yo.
'Much seed thou dost take out into the field, and little thou dost gather in, for the locust doth 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.
vineyards thou dost plant, and hast laboured, and wine thou dost not drink nor gather, for the worm doth consume it;
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.
olives are to thee in all thy border, and oil thou dost not pour out, for thine olive doth fall off.
41 “Nou va gen fis ak fi, men yo p ap pou nou, paske yo va antre an kaptivite.
'Sons and daughters thou dost beget, and they are not with thee, for they go into captivity;
42 “Krikèt va posede tout bwa ak pwodwi latè nou yo.
all thy trees and the fruit of thy ground doth 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 sojourner who [is] in thy midst goeth up above thee very high, and thou goest down very low;
44 Li va prete nou lajan, men nou p ap gen pou prete li. Li va tèt, nou menm, nou va ke.
he doth lend [to] thee, and thou dost not lend [to] him; he is for head, and thou art for 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.
'And come upon thee have all these curses, and they have pursued thee, and overtaken thee, till thou art destroyed, because thou hast not hearkened to the voice of Jehovah thy God, to keep His commands, and His statutes, which he hath commanded thee;
46 “Madichon sa yo va devni yon sign ak yon mèvèy pou nou ak desandan nou yo jis pou tout tan.
and they have been on thee for a sign and for a wonder, also on thy seed — to the age.
47 Akoz nou pa t sèvi SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, pou nou ta twouve tout bagay, avèk jwa ak kè kontan.
'Because that thou hast not served Jehovah thy God with joy, and with gladness of heart, because 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.
thou hast served thine enemies, whom Jehovah sendeth against thee, in hunger, and in thirst, and in nakedness, and in lack of all things; and he hath put a yoke of iron on thy neck, till He hath destroyed thee.
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,
'Jehovah doth lift up against thee a nation, from afar, from the end of the earth, as the eagle it flieth; a nation whose tongue thou hast not heard,
50 yon nasyon, avèk figi fewòs, ki p ap gen respè pou ansyen yo, ni montre favè a jèn yo.
a nation — fierce of countenance — which accepteth not the face of the aged, and the young doth not favour;
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 it hath eaten the fruit of thy cattle, and the fruit of thy ground, till thou art destroyed; which leaveth not to thee corn, new wine, and oil, increase of thine oxen, and wealth of thy flock, till it hath destroyed thee.
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.
'And it hath laid siege to thee in all thy gates, till thy walls come down, the high and the fenced ones in which thou art trusting, in all thy land; yea, it hath laid siege to thee in all thy gates, in all thy land, which Jehovah thy God hath given to thee;
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.
and thou hast eaten the fruit of thy body, flesh of thy sons and thy daughters (whom Jehovah thy God hath given to thee), in the siege, and in the straitness with which thine enemies do straiten thee.
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 in thee, and who [is] very delicate — his eye is evil against his brother, and against the wife of his bosom, and against the remnant of his sons whom he leaveth,
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.
against giving to one of them of the flesh of his sons whom he eateth, because he hath nothing left to him, in the siege, and in the straitness with which thine enemy doth straiten thee in all thy 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 woman in thee, and the delicate, who hath not tried the sole of her foot to place on the ground because of delicateness and because of tenderness — her eye is evil against the husband of her bosom, and against her son, and against 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 against her seed which cometh out from between her feet, even against her sons whom she doth bear, for she doth eat them for the lacking of all things in secret, in the siege and in the straitness with which thine enemy doth straiten thee within thy 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 thou dost not observe to do all the words of this law which are written in this book, to fear this honoured and fearful name — Jehovah thy 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 hath Jehovah made wonderful thy strokes, and the strokes of thy seed — great strokes, and stedfast, and evil sicknesses, and stedfast.
60 Li va fè retounen sou nou tout maladi Égypte ke nou pè yo e yo va kole sou nou.
'And He hath brought back on thee all the diseases of Egypt, of the presence of which thou hast been afraid, and they have cleaved to thee;
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 stroke which is not written in the book of this law; Jehovah doth cause them to go up upon thee till thou art 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.
and ye have been left with few men, instead of which ye have been as stars of the heavens for multitude, because thou hast not hearkened to the voice of Jehovah thy 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.
'And it hath been, as Jehovah hath rejoiced over you to do you good, and to multiply you, so doth Jehovah rejoice over you to destroy you, and to lay you waste; and ye have been pulled away from off the ground whither thou art going 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.
and Jehovah hath scattered thee among all the peoples, from the end of the earth even unto the end of the earth; and thou hast served there other gods which thou hast not known, thou and thy fathers — 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.
'And among those nations thou dost not rest, yea, there is no resting-place for the sole of thy foot, and Jehovah hath given to thee there a trembling heart, and failing of eyes, and grief 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 thy life hath been hanging in suspense before thee, and thou hast been afraid by night and by day, and dost not believe in thy 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 thou sayest, O that it were evening! and in the evening thou sayest, O that it were morning! from the fear of thy heart, with which thou art afraid, and from the sight of thine eyes which thou seest.
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.”
'And Jehovah hath brought thee back to Egypt with ships, by a way of which I said to thee, Thou dost not add any more to see it, and ye have sold yourselves there to thine enemies, for men-servants and for maid-servants, and there is no buyer.'
