< 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,
When all these things have come on you, the blessings and the curses that I have set before you, and when you call them to mind among all the other nations where Yahweh 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 when you return to Yahweh your God and obey his voice, following all that I am commanding 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.
then Yahweh your God will reverse your captivity and have compassion on you; he will return and gather you from all the peoples where Yahweh 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 any of your exiled people are in the farthest places under the heavens, from there Yahweh your God will gather you, and from there he will bring you.
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.
Yahweh your God will bring you into the land that your forefathers possessed, and you will possess it again; he will do you good and will multiply you more than he did your forefathers.
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.
Yahweh your God will circumcise your heart and the heart of your descendants, so you will love Yahweh your God with all your heart and with all your soul, so 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.
Yahweh your God will put all these curses on your enemies and on those who hate you, those 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 will return and obey the voice of Yahweh, and you will do all his commandments that I am commanding 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,
Yahweh your God will make you abundant in all the work of your hand, in the fruit of your body, in the fruit of your cattle, and in the fruit of your ground, for prosperity; for Yahweh will again rejoice over you for prosperity, 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.
He will do this if you will obey the voice of Yahweh your God, so as to keep his commandments and regulations that are written in this book of the law, if you turn to Yahweh your God with all your heart and 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 that I am commanding you today is not too hard for you, neither is it too far for you to reach.
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, so that you should have to say, 'Who will go up for us to heaven and bring it down to us and make us able to hear it, so 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, so that you should have to say, 'Who will go over the sea for us and bring it to us and make us to hear it, so 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 your heart, so 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.
See, today I have placed before you life and good, 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.
If you obey the decrees of Yahweh your God, in which I am commanding you today to love Yahweh your God, to walk in his ways, and to keep his commandments, his regulations, and his statutes, you will live and multiply, and Yahweh your God will bless you in the land that you are entering to possess.
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 do not listen but instead are drawn away and bow down to other gods and worship 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.
then I announce to you today that you will surely perish; you will not prolong your days in the land that you are passing over the Jordan to go into and possess.
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 blessings and the curses; therefore choose life so 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.”
Do this so as to love Yahweh your God, to obey his voice, and to cling to him. For he is your life and the length of your days; do this so that you may live in the land that Yahweh swore to your ancestors, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them.”
