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 covenant, which the Lord commanded Moses to make with the children of Israel in the land of Moab, besides the covenant which he made with them in Choreb.
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 called all the sons of Israel and said to them, Ye have seen all things that the Lord did in the land of Egypt before you to Pharao and his servants, and all his land;
3 gwo eprèv ke zye nou te wè yo, gwo sign sa yo avèk mèvèy yo.
the great temptations which thine eyes have seen, the signs, and those great 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.
Yet the Lord God has not given you a heart to know, and eyes to see, and ears to hear, until this day.
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.
And he led you forty years in the wilderness; your garments did not grow old, and your sandals were not worn away off 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.
Ye did not eat bread, ye did not drink wine or strong drink, that ye might know 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.
And ye came as far as this place; and there came forth Seon king of Esebon, and Og king of Basan, to meet us in war.
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 smote them and took their land, and I gave it for an inheritance to Ruben and Gad, and to the half-tribe of Manasse.
9 Pou sa, kenbe pawòl akò sa yo pou fè yo, pou nou kapab reyisi nan tout sa ke nou eseye fè.
And ye shall take heed to do all the words of this covenant, that ye may understand all things that ye shall 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,
Ye all stand to-day before the Lord your God, the heads of your tribes, and your elders, and your judges, and your officers, every man 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,
your wives, and your children, and the stranger who is in the midst of your camp, from your hewer of wood even to your drawer of water,
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,
that thou shouldest enter into the covenant of the Lord thy God and into his oaths, as many as the Lord thy God appoints thee this day;
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.
that he may appoint thee to himself for a people, and he shall be thy God, as he said to thee, and as he sware to thy fathers, Abraam, and Isaac, and Jacob.
14 Alò, se pa avèk nou sèlman ke Mwen ap fè akò sila a avèk sèman sila a,
And I do not appoint to you alone this covenant 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 to those also who are here with you to-day before the Lord your God, and to those who are not here with you to-day.
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 ye know how we dwelt in the land of Egypt, how we came through the midst of the nations through whom ye came.
17 anplis, nou te wè abominasyon pa yo ak zidòl pa yo an bwa, wòch, ajan ak lò, ki te avèk yo);
And ye beheld their abominations, and their idols, wood and stone, silver and gold, which are 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.
Lest there be among you man, or woman, or family, or tribe, whose heart has turned aside from the Lord your God, having gone to serve the gods of these nations; lest there be in you a root springing up with gall and bitterness.
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.’
And it shall be if one shall hear the words of this curse, and shall flatter himself in his heart, saying, Let good happen to me, for I will walk in the error of my heart, lest the sinner destroy the guiltless with [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.
God shall by no means be willing to pardon him, but then the wrath of the Lord and his jealousy shall flame out against that man; and all the curses of this covenant shall attach themselves to him, which are written in this book, and the Lord shall blot out his name from under heaven.
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.
And the Lord shall separate that man for evil of all the children of Israel, according to all the curses of the covenant that are written in the book of this 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 another generation shall say—even your sons who shall rise up after you, and the stranger who shall come from a land afar off, and shall see the plagues of that land and their diseases, which the Lord has sent upon 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.
brimstone and burning salt, (the whole land shall not be sown, neither shall any green thing spring, nor rise upon it, as Sodom and Gomorrha were overthrown, Adama and Seboim, which the Lord overthrew in his wrath and anger: )—
24 Tout nasyon yo va di: ‘Poukisa SENYÈ a te fè sa a peyi sila a? Poukisa gwo kòlè sila a?’
and all the nations shall say, Why has the Lord done thus to this land? what [is] this great fierceness of anger?
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.’
And [men] shall say, Because they forsook the covenant of the Lord God of their fathers, the things which he appointed to their fathers, when he brought 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 and served other gods, which they knew not, neither did he assign [them] to 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 the Lord was exceedingly angry with that land to bring upon it according to all the curses which are written in the book of this law.
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.”
And the Lord removed them from their land in anger, and wrath, and very great indignation, and cast them out into another land as at present.
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 [belong] to the Lord our God, but the things that are revealed [belong] to us and to our children for ever, to do all the words of this law.
