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, in addition to 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;
Moses called to all Israel, and said to them: Your eyes have seen all that the LORD did in the land of Egypt to Pharaoh, and to all his servants, and to all his land;
3 gwo eprèv ke zye nou te wè yo, gwo sign sa yo avèk mèvèy yo.
the great trials which your eyes saw, 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.
But the LORD has not given you a heart to know, eyes to see, and ears to hear, to 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.
I have led you forty years in the wilderness. Your clothes have not grown old on you, and your sandals have not grown old 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 not eaten bread, neither have you drunk wine or strong drink, that you may 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.
When you came to this place, Sihon the king of Heshbon and Og the king of Bashan came out against us to battle, and we struck 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.
We took their land, and gave it for an inheritance to the Reubenites, and to the Gadites, and to the half-tribe of the Manassites.
9 Pou sa, kenbe pawòl akò sa yo pou fè yo, pou nou kapab reyisi nan tout sa ke nou eseye fè.
Therefore keep the words of this covenant and do them, that you may prosper in all that 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,
All of you stand today in the presence of the LORD your God: your heads, your tribes, your elders, and your officers, even 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 the foreigners who are in the middle of your camps, from the one who cuts your wood to the one who draws your 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 you may enter into the covenant of the LORD your God, and into his oath, which the LORD your God 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.
that he may establish you today as his people, and that he may be your God, as he spoke to you and as he swore to your 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 do I make this covenant and this oath with you only,
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 those who stand here with us today before the LORD our God, and also with those who are not here with us today
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 know how we lived in the land of Egypt, and how we came through the middle of the nations through which you passed;
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 abominations and their idols of wood, 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, woman, family, or tribe whose heart turns away today from the LORD our God, to go to serve the gods of those nations; lest there should be among you a root that produces bitter poison;
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 happen, when he hears the words of this curse, that he bless himself in his heart, saying, “I shall have peace, though I walk in the stubbornness of my heart,” to destroy the moist with the dry.
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 not pardon him, but then the LORD’s anger and his jealousy will smoke against that man, and all the curse that is written in this book will fall on him, and the LORD will blot out his name from under the sky.
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.
The LORD will set him apart for evil out of all the tribes of Israel, according to all the curses of the covenant 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:
The generation to come—your children who will rise up after you, and the foreigner who will come from a far land—will say, when they see the plagues of that land, and the sicknesses with which the LORD has made it sick,
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.
that all of its land is sulfur, salt, and burning, that it is not sown, doesn’t produce, nor does any grass grow in it, like the overthrow of Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboiim, which the LORD 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 the nations will say, “Why has the LORD done this to this land? What does the heat of this great anger mean?”
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 abandoned the covenant of the LORD, the God of their fathers, which he made with them 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 went and served other gods and worshiped them, gods that they didn’t know and that he had not given 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.
Therefore the LORD’s anger burned against this land, to bring on 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.”
The LORD rooted them out of their land in anger, in wrath, and in great indignation, and thrust them into another land, as it is today.”
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 forever, that we may do all the words of this law.
