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 YHWH commanded Moses to make with the children of Israel in the land of Moab, beside the covenant 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 called unto all Israel, and said unto them, Ye have seen all that YHWH did before your eyes in the land of Egypt unto Pharaoh, and unto all his servants, and unto 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 miracles:
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 YHWH hath not given you an heart to perceive, and eyes to see, and ears to hear, unto 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 I have led you forty years in the wilderness: your clothes are not waxen old upon you, and thy shoe is not waxen old upon thy foot.
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 have not eaten bread, neither have ye drunk wine or strong drink: that ye might know that I am YHWH your Elohim.
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 when ye came unto this place, Sihon the king of Heshbon, and Og the king of Bashan, came out against us unto battle, and we smote 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 for an inheritance unto the Reubenites, and to the Gadites, and to the half tribe of Manasseh.
9 Pou sa, kenbe pawòl akò sa yo pou fè yo, pou nou kapab reyisi nan tout sa ke nou eseye fè.
Keep therefore the words of this covenant, and do them, that ye may prosper in all that ye 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 stand this day all of you before YHWH your Elohim; your captains of your tribes, your elders, and your officers, 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,
Your little ones, your wives, and thy stranger that is in thy camp, from the hewer of thy wood unto the drawer of thy 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 covenant with YHWH thy Elohim, and into his oath, which YHWH thy Elohim maketh with 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 establish thee to day for a people unto himself, and that he may be unto thee an Elohim, as he hath said unto thee, and as he hath sworn unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.
14 Alò, se pa avèk nou sèlman ke Mwen ap fè akò sila a avèk sèman sila a,
Neither with you only do I make 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 with him that standeth here with us this day before YHWH our Elohim, and also with him that is not here with us this 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 have dwelt in the land of Egypt; and how we came through the nations which ye passed by;
17 anplis, nou te wè abominasyon pa yo ak zidòl pa yo an bwa, wòch, ajan ak lò, ki te avèk yo);
And ye have seen their abominations, and their idols, wood and stone, 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.
Lest there should be among you man, or woman, or family, or tribe, whose heart turneth away this day from YHWH our Elohim, to go and serve the elohim of these nations; lest there should be among you a root that beareth gall and wormwood;
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 come to pass, when he heareth the words of this curse, that he bless himself in his heart, saying, I shall have peace, though I walk in the imagination of mine heart, to add drunkenness to thirst:
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.
YHWH will not spare him, but then the anger of YHWH and his jealousy shall smoke against that man, and all the curses that are written in this book shall lie upon him, and YHWH 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 YHWH shall separate him unto evil out of all the tribes of Israel, according to all the curses of the covenant that are written 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:
So that the generation to come of your children that shall rise up after you, and the stranger that shall come from a far land, shall say, when they see the plagues of that land, and the sicknesses which YHWH hath laid 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.
And that the whole land thereof is brimstone, and salt, and burning, that it is not sown, nor beareth, nor any grass groweth therein, like the overthrow of Sodom, and Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboim, which YHWH overthrew in his anger, and in his wrath:
24 Tout nasyon yo va di: ‘Poukisa SENYÈ a te fè sa a peyi sila a? Poukisa gwo kòlè sila a?’
Even all nations shall say, Wherefore hath YHWH done thus unto this land? what meaneth the heat of this great 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.’
Then men shall say, Because they have forsaken the covenant of YHWH Elohim of their fathers, which he made with them when he brought them forth 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.
For they went and served other elohim, and worshipped them, elohim whom they knew not, and whom he had not given unto 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 anger of YHWH was kindled against this land, to bring upon it all the curses that are written 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.”
And YHWH rooted them out of their land in anger, and in wrath, and in great indignation, and cast them into another land, as it is 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 belong unto YHWH our Elohim: but those things which are revealed belong unto us and to our children for ever, that we may do all the words of this law.
