Deteronòm 32
1 “Prete zòrèy nou, O syèl yo; kite mwen pale. Kite tè a tande pawòl a bouch mwen yo.
Give ear, ye heavens, and I will speak; And hear, O earth, the words of my mouth!
2 Kite enstriksyon mwen yo tonbe tankou lapli, pawòl mwen yo poze tankou lawouze, tankou ti gout sou zèb fre, ak lapli k ap farinen sou zèb.
My doctrine shall drop as rain, My speech flow down as dew, As small rain upon the tender herb, And as showers on the grass.
3 Paske mwen pwoklame non a SENYÈ a. Bay glwa a Bondye nou an!
For the name of Jehovah will I proclaim: Ascribe greatness unto our God!
4 Wòch la! Zèv Li yo pafè, paske tout chemen li yo jis. Yon Bondye fidèl e san enjistis, dwat e jis ke Li ye.
[He is] the Rock, his work is perfect, For all his ways are righteousness; A God of faithfulness without deceit, Just and right is he.
5 Yo te fè zak konwonpi anvè Li. Yo pa pitit li akoz defo yo. Yon jenerasyon pèvèti e kwochi,
They have dealt corruptly with him; Not his children's is their spot: — A crooked and perverted generation!
6 se konsa nou rekonpanse SENYÈ a, O pèp ki san konprann e ki san sajès? Èske se pa Papa nou, Kreyatè nou an, ki te fè nou e ki te fòme nou?
Do ye thus requite Jehovah, Foolish and unwise people? Is not he thy father that hath bought thee? Hath he not made thee and established thee?
7 Sonje jou tan pase yo, konsidere lane a tout jenerasyon yo. Mande papa nou e li va fè nou konnen, ansyen nou yo e yo va di nou.
Remember the days of old, Consider the years of generation to generation; Ask thy father, and he will shew thee; Thine elders, and they will tell thee.
8 Lè Pi Wo a te bay nasyon yo eritaj yo, lè Li te separe fis a lòm yo, Li te etabli lizyè a tout pèp la Selon kantite a fis Israël yo.
When the Most High assigned to the nations their inheritance, When he separated the sons of Adam, He set the bounds of the peoples According to the number of the children of Israel.
9 Paske pòsyon SENYÈ a se pèp Li a. Jacob se don eritaj Li a.
For Jehovah's portion is his people; Jacob the lot of his inheritance.
10 Li te twouve li nan yon peyi dezè, nan savann dezole kote van soufle a. Li te antoure li, Li te pran swen li, Li te pwoteje li tankou de zye nan tèt Li.
He found him in a desert land, And in the waste, howling wilderness; He compassed him about, he watched over him, He preserved him as the apple of his eye.
11 Tankou yon èg ki anvayi nich li, ki pann sou jenn pitit li yo, Li te ouvri zèl li yo pou te kenbe yo. Li te pote yo anwo plim li.
As the eagle stirreth up its nest, Hovereth over its young, Spreadeth out its wings, Taketh them, beareth them on its feathers,
12 SENYÈ a sèl te gide li. Li pa t gen dye etranje ki te avè l.
So Jehovah alone did lead him, And no strange god [was] with him.
13 Li te fè li monte sou wo plas tè yo. Yo te manje pwodwi a chan yo. Li te fè li souse siwo myèl nan wòch la, ak lwil nan wòch ki te di:
He made him ride on the high places of the earth, And he ate the produce of the field; And he made him suck honey out of the crag, And oil out of the flinty rock;
14 Bòl lèt a bèf yo ak lèt bann kabrit yo, avèk grès jenn ti mouton yo, Belye a ras Basan yo ak kabrit, Avèk ble ki pi fen yo. Nou te bwè san rezen an, diven an menm nou te bwe.
Cream of kine, and milk of sheep, With the fat of lambs, And rams of the breed of Bashan, and he-goats, With the fat of kidneys of wheat; And thou didst drink pure wine, the blood of the grape.
15 Men Israël te vin gra e te voye pye. Ou vin gra, gwo e swa. Li te abandone Bondye ki te fè l la, e li te meprize Wòch a delivrans li an.
Then Jeshurun grew fat, and kicked — Thou art waxen fat, Thou art grown thick, And thou art covered with fatness; — He gave up God who made him, And lightly esteemed the Rock of his salvation.
16 Yo te fè Li vin jalou avèk dye etranje yo. Avèk bagay abominab, yo te pwovoke Li a lakòlè.
They moved him to jealousy with strange gods, With abominations did they provoke him to anger.
17 Yo te fè sakrifis a dyab ki pa t Bondye yo, a dye ke yo pa t janm konnen, dye nèf ki fenk parèt, ke zansèt nou yo pa t janm bay lakrent.
They sacrificed unto demons who are not God; To gods whom they knew not, To new ones, who came newly up, Whom your fathers revered not.
18 Nou te neglije Wòch ki te fè nou an, e nou te bliye Bondye ki te bannou nesans lan.
Of the Rock that begot thee wast thou unmindful, And thou hast forgotten God who brought thee forth.
19 SENYÈ a te wè sa e te meprize yo akoz pwovokasyon fis ak fi Li yo.
And Jehovah saw it, and despised them, Because of the provoking of his sons and of his daughters.
20 “Alò, Li te di: ‘Mwen va kache figi Mwen sou yo. Mwen va wè kijan yo fini; Paske yo se yon jenerasyon pèvès, fis ki pa fidèl.
And he said, I will hide my face from them, I will see what their end shall be; For they are a perverse generation, Children in whom is no faithfulness.
21 ‘Yo te fè m jalou avèk sa ki pa Bondye yo. Yo te pwovoke Mwen a lakòlè avèk zidòl yo. Konsa tou, Mwen va fè yo jalou avèk sa ki pa yon pèp yo. Mwen va pwovoke yo a lakòlè avèk yon nasyon ki san konprann.
They have moved me to jealousy with that which is no God; They have exasperated me with their vanities; And I will move them to jealousy with that which is not a people; With a foolish nation will I provoke them to anger.
22 Paske yon dife vin limen nan chalè Mwen, ki brile jis rive nan pati pi fon nan sejou lanmò yo. Li manje latè a avèk tout don li yo, e limen dife a nan fondasyon mòn yo. (Sheol h7585)
For a fire is kindled in mine anger, And it shall burn into the lowest Sheol, And shall consume the earth and its produce, And set fire to the foundations of the mountains. (Sheol h7585)
23 Mwen va ogmante gwo pil malè sou yo. Mwen va depanse flèch Mwen sou yo.
I will heap mischiefs upon them; Mine arrows will I spend against them.
24 Mwen va epwize yo ak gwo grangou, e manje yo ak chalè ki brile, e avèk destriksyon anmè. Mwen va voye pami yo bèt voras, avèk pwazon a bèt ki trennen sou vant.
They shall be consumed with hunger, and devoured with burning heat, And with poisonous pestilence; And the teeth of beasts will I send against them, With the poison of what crawleth in the dust.
25 Pa deyò, se nepe ki va rache lavi yo, epi pa anndan, gwo laperèz, ni sou jennonm ni vyèj la, tibebe a avèk granmoun cheve blanch lan.
From without shall the sword bereave them, and in the chambers, terror — Both the young man and the virgin, The suckling with the man of gray hairs.
26 Mwen te prèt pou di: “M ap koupe yo an mòso, M ap rache memwa yo soti de lòm,
I would say, I will scatter, I will make the remembrance of them to cease from among men,
27 si M pa t krent ke li t ap pwovoke lènmi an, ke lènmi pa yo ta mal jije pou yo ta di: “Se men nou ki gen viktwa a. Se pa t vrèman SENYÈ a ki fè tout sa.”’
If I did not fear provocation from the enemy, Lest their adversaries should misunderstand it, Lest they should say, Our hand is high, and Jehovah has not done all this.
28 Paske yo se yon nasyon ki manke bon konsèy. Yo san konprann.
For they are a nation void of counsel, And understanding is not in them.
29 Pito ke yo te saj, ke yo te konprann sa, ke yo te konprann avni yo!
Oh that they had been wise! they would have understood this, They would have considered their latter end!
30 Kijan yon moun ta kapab chase yon milye, pou de sèl grenn fè di mil sove ale, sof ke Wòch pa yo a te vann yo, sof ke SENYÈ a te livre yo bay.
How could one chase a thousand, And two put ten thousand to flight, Were it not that their Rock had sold them, And Jehovah had delivered them up?
31 Anverite, wòch pa yo a pa tankou Wòch nou an. Menm lènmi nou yo kapab jije sa.
For their rock is not as our Rock: Let our enemies themselves be judges.
32 Paske rezen pa yo sòti nan rezen Sodome, ak chan yo nan Gomorrhe. Rezen pa yo se rezen pwazon. Grap yo anmè.
For their vine is of the vine of Sodom, And of the fields of Gomorrah: Their grapes are grapes of poison, Bitter are their clusters;
33 Diven pa yo se pwazon vipè, pwazon mòtèl koulèv kobra.
Their wine is the poison of dragons, And the cruel venom of vipers.
34 Èske M pa mete sa nan depo, byen sele nan trezò Mwen?
Is not this hidden with me, Sealed up among my treasures?
35 “‘Vanjans se pou Mwen, avèk revandikasyon, nan lè pye yo va glise, Paske jou malè a yo toupre, E rekonpans yo ap kouri vit sou yo.’
Vengeance is mine, and recompense, For the time when their foot shall slip. For the day of their calamity is at hand, And the things that shall come upon them make haste.
36 Paske SENYÈ a va jije pèp Li a. Li va fè mizerikòd sou sèvitè Li yo, lè Li wè fòs yo fin disparèt, ke pèsòn pa rete, ni esklav, ni lib.
For Jehovah will judge his people, And shall repent in favour of his servants; When he seeth that power is gone, And there is none shut up or left.
37 Li va di: ‘Kote dye yo ye? Wòch kote yo te pran refij la?
And he shall say, Where are their gods, Their rock in whom they trusted,
38 Sila ki te manje grès a sakrifis pa yo a, e ki te bwè diven a bwason pa yo a? Kite yo vin bannou sekou! Kite yo fè kote pou nou kache!
Who ate the fat of their sacrifices, [And] drank the wine of their drink-offering? Let them rise up and help you, That there may be a protection over you.
39 Vin wè ke Mwen menm se Li. Nanpwen dye sof ke Mwen. Se Mwen ki mete a lanmò, e se Mwen ki bay lavi. Se Mwen ki te fè blese e se Mwen ki fè gerizon. Nanpwen pèsòn ki kab delivre soti nan men M.
See now that I, I am HE, And there is no god with me; I kill, and I make alive; I wound, and I heal, And there is none that delivereth out of my hand,
40 Anverite, Mwen leve men M vè syèl la E Mwen di: Menm jan ke Mwen viv pou tout tan an,
For I lift up my hand to the heavens, and say, I live for ever!
41 si Mwen file nepe briyan Mwen an, se men M ki kenbe lajistis. Mwen va rann vanjans sou advèsè Mwen yo, epi Mwen va rekonpanse sila ki rayi Mwen yo.
If I have sharpened my gleaming sword, And my hand take hold of judgment, I will render vengeance to mine adversaries, And will recompense them that hate me.
42 M ap fè flèch Mwen yo vin sou ak san, e nepe Mwen va devore chè avèk san a mò yo ak kaptif yo, k ap sòti nan chèf a lènmi yo.’
Mine arrows will I make drunk with blood, And my sword shall devour flesh; [I will make them drunk] with the blood of the slain and of the captives, With the head of the princes of the enemy.
43 Rejwi, O nasyon avèk pèp pa Li a, paske L ap fè vanjans san a sèvitè Li yo. Li va rann vanjans sou advèsè Li yo, e fè ekspiyasyon pou peyi Li avèk pèp Li a.”
Shout for joy, ye nations, with his people, For he avengeth the blood of his servants, And rendereth vengeance to his enemies, And maketh atonement for his land, for his people.
44 Alò, Moïse te vin pale tout pawòl a chan sila nan zòrèy a pèp la, li menm avèk Josué, fis a Nun nan.
And Moses came and spoke all the words of this song in the ears of the people, he and Hoshea the son of Nun.
45 Lè Moïse te fin pale tout pawòl sila yo a tout Israël,
And when Moses had ended speaking all these words to all Israel,
46 li te di yo: “Pran a kè nou tout pawòl avèk sila mwen avèti nou jodi a, ke nou va kòmande fis nou yo pou swiv avèk atansyon, tout pawòl a lalwa sila yo.
he said unto them, Set your hearts unto all the words that I testify among you this day, which ye shall command your children to take heed to do, all the words of this law.
47 Paske se pa yon bagay pa aza ke yo ye pou nou. Anverite, se lavi nou yo ye. Pa pawòl sila yo, nou va pwolonje vi nou nan tè ke nou prèt pou travèse Jourdain an pou posede a.
For it is no vain word for you, but it is your life, and through this word ye shall prolong your days on the land whereunto ye pass over the Jordan to possess it.
48 SENYÈ a te pale avèk Moïse nan menm jou sa a. Li te di:
And Jehovah spoke to Moses that same day, saying,
49 “Monte sou mòn sila nan Abarim nan, Mòn Nebo, ki nan peyi Moab, anfas Jéricho, e gade sou peyi a Canaan an ke Mwen ap bay a fis Israël yo kòm posesyon an.
Go up into this mountain Abarim, mount Nebo, which is in the land of Moab, which is opposite Jericho; and behold the land of Canaan, which I give unto the children of Israel for a possession,
50 Epi mouri sou mòn nan kote ou monte a pou vin ranmase a zansèt ou yo, jan Aaron te fè sou Mòn Hor a, e te vin ranmase pa pèp li a;
and die on the mountain whither thou goest up, and be gathered unto thy peoples, as Aaron thy brother died on mount Hor, and was gathered unto his peoples;
51 akoz ou te peche kont Mwen nan mitan fis Israël yo nan dlo a Meriba-Kadès yo, nan dezè Tsin nan; akoz ou pa t trete Mwen tankou sen nan mitan fis Israël yo.
because ye trespassed against me among the children of Israel at the waters of Meribah-Kadesh, in the wilderness of Zin; because ye hallowed me not in the midst of the children of Israel.
52 Donk, ou va wè peyi a yon distans, men ou p ap ale la, nan peyi ke Mwen ap bay fis Israël yo.”
For thou shalt see the land before [thee]; but thou shalt not go thither unto the land which I give the children of Israel.
