Deteronòm 29
1 Sila yo se pawòl akò a ke SENYÈ a te kòmande Moïse pou fè avèk fis Israël yo nan peyi Moab la, anplis akò Li te fè avèk yo nan Horeb la.
These are the words of the agreement which Moses was ordered by the Lord to make with the children of Israel in the land of Moab, in addition to the agreement which he made with them in Horeb.
2 Moïse te konvoke tout Israël e te di yo: “Nou te wè tout sa ke SENYÈ a te fè a Farawon nan peyi Égypte la e a tout sèvitè li yo avèk tout peyi li a;
And Moses said in the hearing of all Israel, You have seen all the Lord did before your eyes in the land of Egypt to Pharaoh and to all his servants and all his land;
3 gwo eprèv ke zye nou te wè yo, gwo sign sa yo avèk mèvèy yo.
The great tests which your eyes saw, and the signs and wonders:
4 Men jis rive jodi a, SENYÈ a pa t bannou yon kè pou konnen, ni zye pou nou wè, ni zòrèy pou nou tande.
But even to this day the Lord has not given you a mind open to knowledge, or seeing eyes or hearing ears.
5 Mwen te mennen nou pandan karantan nan dezè a. Rad nou yo pa t epwize sou nou, ni sandal nou yo pa t epwize nan pye nou.
For forty years I have been your guide through the waste land: your clothing has not become old on your backs, or your shoes on your feet.
6 Nou pa t manje pen, ni nou pa t bwè bwason ki fò pou nou ta konnen ke Mwen menm, se Senyè a, Bondye nou an.
You have had no bread, or wine, or strong drink: so that you might see that I am the Lord your God.
7 Lè nou te rive kote sa a, Sihon, wa Hesbon an avèk Og, wa Basan an, yo te sòti pou rankontre nou pou batay, men nou te bat yo.
When you came to this place, Sihon, king of Heshbon, and Og, king of Bashan, came out to make war against us and we overcame them:
8 Nou te pran peyi pa yo a pou bay li kòm eritaj a Ribenit yo, a Gadit yo e a mwatye tribi a Manasit yo.
And we took their land and gave it to the Reubenites and the Gadites and the half-tribe of Manasseh, for their heritage.
9 Pou sa, kenbe pawòl akò sa yo pou fè yo, pou nou kapab reyisi nan tout sa ke nou eseye fè.
So keep the words of this agreement and do them, so that it may be well for you in everything you do.
10 Nou vin kanpe la a jodi a, nou tout, devan SENYÈ, Bondye nou an: chèf nou yo, tribi nou yo, ansyen nou yo ak ofisye nou yo, tout mesye Israël yo,
You have come here today, all of you, before the Lord your God; the heads of your tribes, the overseers, and those who are in authority over you, with all the men of Israel,
11 timoun nou yo, madanm nou yo ak etranje ki demere nan kan nou yo, soti nan sila ki koupe bwa dife nou, jis rive nan sila ki rale dlo nou yo,
And your little ones, your wives, and the men of other lands who are with you in your tents, down to the wood-cutter and the servant who gets water for you:
12 pou nou kapab antre an akò avèk SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, pou sèman ke SENYÈ Bondye nou an, ap fè avèk ou jodi a,
With the purpose of taking part in the agreement of the Lord your God, and his oath which he makes with you today:
13 pou Li kapab etabli nou jodi a kòm pèp Li, e pou Li kapab devni Bondye nou, jis jan ke Li te pale nou an ak jan Li te sèmante a zansèt nou yo, a Abraham, Isaac, e a Jacob la.
And so that he may make you his people today, and be your God, as he has said to you, and as he made an oath to your fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
14 Alò, se pa avèk nou sèlman ke Mwen ap fè akò sila a avèk sèman sila a,
And not with you only do I make this agreement and this oath;
15 men avèk sila ki kanpe isit yo avèk nou jodi a nan prezans a SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, e avèk sila ki pa la avèk nou jodi a
But with everyone who is here with us today before the Lord our God, as well as with those who are not here:
16 (paske nou konnen kijan nou te viv nan peyi Égypte la ak kijan nou te pase nan mitan nasyon kote nou te pase yo;
(For you have in mind how we were living in the land of Egypt; and how we came through all the nations which were on your way;
17 anplis, nou te wè abominasyon pa yo ak zidòl pa yo an bwa, wòch, ajan ak lò, ki te avèk yo);
And you have seen their disgusting doings, and the images of wood and stone and silver and gold which were among them: )
18 pou pa t ap genyen pami nou jodi a ni gason, ni fanm, ni fanmi, ni tribi, ki gen kè ki vire kite SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, pou ale sèvi lòt dye a nasyon sa yo; pou pa vin gen pami nou yon rasin ki pote fwi pwazon anmè konsa.
So that there may not be among you any man or woman or family or tribe whose heart is turned away from the Lord our God today, to go after other gods and give them worship; or any root among you whose fruit is poison and bitter sorrow;
19 Pou l ta rive ke lè li tande pawòl a madichon sila a, li vin ògeye, e di: ‘Mwen va gen lapè menmlè mwen mache avèk kè di, pou m detwi tè wouze ansanm ak tè sèk.’
If such a man, hearing the words of this oath, takes comfort in the thought that he will have peace even if he goes on in the pride of his heart, taking whatever chance may give him:
20 SENYÈ a p ap janm dakò pou padone li, men pito, lakòlè SENYÈ ak jalouzi Li va brile kont nonm sa a. Konsa, tout madichon ki ekri nan liv sa a, va vin rete sou li, e SENYÈ a va efase non li anba syèl la.
The Lord will have no mercy on him, but the wrath of the Lord will be burning against that man, and all the curses recorded in this book will be waiting for him, and the Lord will take away his name completely from the earth.
21 Epi SENYÈ a va mete li apa pou mechanste l soti nan tout tribi Israël yo, selon tout madichon a akò ki ekri nan liv lalwa sila a.
He will be marked out by the Lord, from all the tribes of Israel, for an evil fate, in keeping with all the curses of the agreement recorded in this book of the law.
22 “Alò, jenerasyon k ap vini an—fis nou ki leve apre nou yo, avèk etranje a ki sòti nan yon peyi lwen—lè yo wè toumant a peyi ak maladi avèk sila SENYÈ a te aflije li yo, yo va di:
And future generations, your children coming after you, and travellers from far countries, will say, when they see the punishments of that land and the diseases which the Lord has sent on it;
23 Tout teritwa li se souf avèk sèl, yon kote devaste kap brile nèt. Li pa simen menm, ni pwodwi anyen, li san zèb grandi ladann, tankou boulvèsman Sodome nan avèk Gomorrhe a. Li tankou Adma avèk Tseboïm ke SENYÈ a te boulvèse nan chalè Li avèk kòlè Li.
And that all the land is a salt and smoking waste, not planted or giving fruit or clothed with grass, but wasted like Sodom and Gomorrah, Admah and Zeboiim, on which the Lord sent destruction in the heat of his wrath:
24 Tout nasyon yo va di: ‘Poukisa SENYÈ a te fè sa a peyi sila a? Poukisa gwo kòlè sila a?’
Truly all the nations will say, Why has the Lord done so to this land? what is the reason for this great and burning wrath?
25 “Epi yo va reponn: ‘Akoz yo te abandone akò SENYÈ a, Bondye a zansèt yo a te fè avèk yo, lè Li te mennen yo sòti nan peyi Égypte la.’
Then men will say, Because they gave up the agreement of the Lord, the God of their fathers, which he made with them when he took them out of the land of Egypt:
26 Yo te sèvi lòt dye yo e yo te adore yo, dye ke yo pa t konnen e ke Li pa t janm te ba yo.
And they went after other gods and gave them worship, gods who were strange to them, and whom he had not given them:
27 Pou sa, kòlè SENYÈ a te brile kont peyi a, pou mennen sou li tout madichon ki ekri nan liv sa a.
And so the wrath of the Lord was moved against this land, to send on it all the curse recorded in this book:
28 SENYÈ a te dechouke yo nan peyi pa yo a nan kòlè Li. Avèk gwo mekontantman, Li te rache yo soti nan peyi yo pou jete yo nan yon lòt peyi, jan li ye kounye a.”
Rooting them out of their land, in the heat of his wrath and passion, and driving them out into another land, as at this day.
29 Bagay sekrè yo apatyen a SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an. Men bagay ki revele yo se pou nou menm avèk fis nou yo jis pou tout tan, pou nou kapab obsève tout pawòl lalwa sila yo.
The secret things are the Lord our God's: but the things which have been made clear are ours and our children's for ever, so that we may do all the words of this law.
