< Deteronòm 30 >
1 “Konsa li va ye lè tout bagay sa yo fin vini sou nou, benediksyon an avèk madichon an ke mwen te mete devan nou pou nou sonje yo nan tout nasyon kote SENYÈ a va egzile nou yo,
It shall happen, when all these things have come on you, the blessing and the curse, which I have set before you, and you shall call them to mind among all the nations where the LORD your God has driven you,
2 epi ou retounen kote SENYÈ Bondye ou, pou obeyi vwa Li ak tout ke e tout nanm ou, selon tout sa ke M kòmande ou jodi a, ou menm anplis ak fis ou yo.
and return to the LORD your God and obey his voice according to all that I command you today, you and your children, with all your heart and with all your soul,
3 Konsa SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, va restore nou apre kaptivite sila a e Li va vin gen konpasyon sou nou. Li va ranmase nou ankò sòti nan tout pèp kote SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, te gaye nou yo.
that then the LORD your God will release you from captivity, have compassion on you, and will return and gather you from all the peoples where the LORD your God has scattered you.
4 Si moun egzil sa yo nan lòt pwent tè a, soti la, SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, va ranmase nou. Epi soti la, Li va mennen nou tounen.
If your outcasts are in the uttermost parts of the heavens, from there the LORD your God will gather you, and from there he will bring you back.
5 SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, va mennen nou antre nan peyi ke zansèt nou yo te posede a. Nou va posede li, epi Li va fè nou pwospere e vin miltipliye plis ke zansèt nou yo.
The LORD your God will bring you into the land which your fathers possessed, and you will possess it. He will do you good, and increase your numbers more than your fathers.
6 Anplis, SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, va sikonsi kè nou ak kè desandan nou yo, pou renmen SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, avèk tout kè nou e avèk tout nanm nou, pou nou kapab viv.
The LORD your God will circumcise your heart, and the heart of your offspring, to love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul, that you may live.
7 SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, va aflije lènmi nou yo avèk tout madichon sa yo ansanm ak sila ki rayi nou yo, ki te pèsekite nou yo.
The LORD your God will put all these curses on your enemies and on those who hate you, who persecuted you.
8 Konsa, nou va ankò obeyi SENYÈ a e obsève tout kòmandman li yo ke Mwen te kòmande nou jodi a.
You shall return and obey the LORD’s voice, and do all his commandments which I command you today.
9 Epi SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, va fè nou vin pwospere anpil nan travay men nou, nan fwi zantray nou yo, nan pòtre a bèt nou yo ak nan pwodwi ki sòti nan tè yo; paske SENYÈ a va ankò rejwi de nou pou bonte nou, jis jan ke Li te rejwi de zansèt nou yo,
The LORD your God will make you prosperous in all the work of your hand, in the fruit of your body, in the fruit of your livestock, and in the fruit of your ground, for good; for the LORD will again rejoice over you for good, as he rejoiced over your fathers,
10 si nou obeyi SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, pou kenbe kòmandman Li yo ak lwa Li yo ki ekri nan liv lalwa sila a, si nou vire vè SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, avèk tout kè ak nanm nou.
if you will obey the LORD your God’s voice, to keep his commandments and his statutes which are written in this book of the law, if you turn to the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul.
11 “Paske kòmandman sila ke mwen bannou jodi a pa twò difisil pou nou, ni li pa twò wo pou nou pa rive kote l.
For this commandment which I command you today is not too hard for you or too distant.
12 Li pa nan syèl la, pou nou ta di: ‘Kilès ki va monte nan syèl la pou pran li pou nou e fè nou tande li, pou nou kapab swiv li?’
It is not in heaven, that you should say, “Who will go up for us to heaven, bring it to us, and proclaim it to us, that we may do it?”
13 Ni li pa lòtbò lanmè a, pou nou ta di: ‘Kilès k ap travèse lanmè a, pou pran li pou nou e fè nou tande li, pou nou kapab swiv li.’
Neither is it beyond the sea, that you should say, “Who will go over the sea for us, bring it to us, and proclaim it to us, that we may do it?”
14 Men pawòl la toupre nou, nan bouch nou ak nan kè nou, pou nou kapab swiv li.
But the word is very near to you, in your mouth and in your heart, that you may do it.
15 Nou wè, jodi a Mwen te mete devan nou lavi avèk abondans, oswa lanmò avèk tout sa ki pa bon.
Behold, I have set before you today life and prosperity, and death and evil.
16 Nan tout sa mwen kòmande nou jodi a pou renmen SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, pou mache nan chemen Li yo, epi pou kenbe kòmandman Li yo avèk lwa Li yo ak jijman Li yo, pou nou kapab viv e miltipliye, e pou SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, kapab beni nou nan peyi kote nou ap antre pou posede a.
For I command you today to love the LORD your God, to walk in his ways and to keep his commandments, his statutes, and his ordinances, that you may live and multiply, and that the LORD your God may bless you in the land where you go in to possess it.
17 Men si kè nou detounen e nou refize obeyi, men nou mennen akote pou adore lòt dye yo e sèvi yo,
But if your heart turns away, and you will not hear, but are drawn away and worship other gods, and serve them,
18 Mwen deklare a nou jodi a ke nou va vrèman peri. Nou p ap pwolonje jou nou yo nan peyi kote nou ap travèse Jourdain an pou antre posede a.
I declare to you today that you will surely perish. You will not prolong your days in the land where you pass over the Jordan to go in to possess it.
19 Mwen rele syèl la avèk tè a pou fè temwayaj kont nou jodi a, ke mwen te mete devan nou lavi avèk lanmò, benediksyon avèk malediksyon. Pou sa, chwazi lavi pou nou kapab viv, nou menm avèk desandan nou yo,
I call heaven and earth to witness against you today that I have set before you life and death, the blessing and the curse. Therefore choose life, that you may live, you and your descendants,
20 nan renmen SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an ak nan obeyisans a vwa Li ak nan kenbe fèm a Li. Paske sa se lavi nou ak pwolongasyon a jou nou yo, pou nou kapab viv nan peyi ke SENYÈ a te sèmante a zansèt nou yo; a Abraham, Isaac e a Jacob, pou bay yo a.”
to love the LORD your God, to obey his voice, and to cling to him; for he is your life, and the length of your days, that you may dwell in the land which the LORD swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them.
