Deteronòm 32
1 “Prete zòrèy nou, O syèl yo; kite mwen pale. Kite tè a tande pawòl a bouch mwen yo.
Give ear, O 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 the rain, my speech shall distill as the dew, as the small rain upon the tender herb, and as the showers upon the grass:
3 Paske mwen pwoklame non a SENYÈ a. Bay glwa a Bondye nou an!
Because I will publish the name of the LORD: ascribe ye greatness to 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] judgment: a God of truth and without iniquity: 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 corrupted themselves, their spot [is] not [the spot] of his children: [they are] a perverse and crooked 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 the LORD, O foolish people and unwise? [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 many generations: ask thy father, and he will show thee; thy 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 divided to the nations their inheritance, when he separated the sons of Adam, he set the bounds of the people 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 the LORD'S portion [is] his people; Jacob [is] 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 led him about, he instructed him, he kept 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 an eagle stirreth up her nest, fluttereth over her young, spreadeth abroad her wings, taketh them, beareth them on her wings;
12 SENYÈ a sèl te gide li. Li pa t gen dye etranje ki te avè l.
[So] the LORD alone did lead him, and [there was] no strange God 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, that he might eat the increase of the fields; and he made him to suck honey out of the rock, 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.
Butter of cows, and milk of sheep, with fat of lambs, and rams of the breed of Bashan, and goats, with the fat of kidneys of wheat; and thou didst drink the pure 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.
But Jeshurun waxed fat, and kicked: thou hast waxed fat, thou art grown thick, thou art covered [with fatness]; then he forsook 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 provoked him to jealousy with strange [gods], with abominations they provoked 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 to devils, not to God; to gods which they knew not, to new [gods that] came newly up, whom your fathers feared 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] begat thee thou art unmindful, and hast forgotten God that formed thee.
19 SENYÈ a te wè sa e te meprize yo akoz pwovokasyon fis ak fi Li yo.
And when the LORD saw [it], he abhorred [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 [will be]: for they [are] a very froward generation, children in whom [is] no faith.
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] not God; they have provoked me to anger with their vanities: and I will move them to jealousy with [those who are] not a people; I will provoke them to anger with a foolish nation.
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 my anger, and shall burn to the lowest hell, and shall consume the earth with her increase, and set on fire 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; I will spend my arrows upon 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] burnt with hunger, and devoured with burning heat, and with bitter destruction: I will also send the teeth of beasts upon them, with the poison of serpents of 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.
The sword without, and terror within, shall destroy both the young man and the virgin, the suckling [also] 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 said, I would scatter them into corners, I would 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.”’
Were it not that I feared the wrath of the enemy, lest their adversaries should behave themselves strangely, [and] lest they should say, Our hand [is] high, and the LORD hath 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, neither [is there any] understanding in them.
29 Pito ke yo te saj, ke yo te konprann sa, ke yo te konprann avni yo!
O that they were wise, [that] they understood this, [that] they would consider 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 should one chase a thousand, and two put ten thousand to flight, except their Rock had sold them, and the LORD had shut 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, even our enemies themselves [being] 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 gall, their clusters [are] bitter:
33 Diven pa yo se pwazon vipè, pwazon mòtèl koulèv kobra.
Their wine [is] the poison of dragons, and the cruel venom of asps.
34 Èske M pa mete sa nan depo, byen sele nan trezò Mwen?
[Is] not this laid up in store with me, [and] 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.’
To me [belongeth] vengeance, and recompense; their foot shall slide in [due] time: 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 the LORD shall judge his people, and repent for his servants: when he seeth that [their] 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!
Which ate the fat of their sacrifices, [and] drank the wine of their drink-offerings? let them rise up and help you, [and] be your protection.
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, [even] I [am] he, and [there is] no god with me: I kill, and I make alive; I wound, and I heal: neither [is there any] that can deliver 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 heaven, 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 shall whet my glittering sword, and my hand take hold on judgment; I will render vengeance to my enemies, and will reward 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.’
I will make my arrows drunk with blood, and my sword shall devour flesh; [and that] with the blood of the slain and of the captives from the beginning of revenges upon 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.”
Rejoice, O ye nations, [with] his people: for he will avenge the blood of his servants, and will render vengeance to his adversaries, and will be merciful to his land, [and] to 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 Moses made an end of 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.
And he said to them, Set your hearts to all the words which I testify among you this day, which ye shall command your children to observe 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] not a vain thing for you: because it [is] your life; and through this thing ye shall prolong [your] days in the land whither ye go over Jordan to possess it.
48 SENYÈ a te pale avèk Moïse nan menm jou sa a. Li te di:
And the LORD 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.
Ascend this mountain Abarim, [to] mount Nebo, which [is] in the land of Moab, that [is] over against Jericho; and behold the land of Canaan which I give to 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 in the mount whither thou goest, and be gathered to thy people; as Aaron thy brother died in mount Hor, and was gathered to his people:
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 sanctified 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.”
Yet thou shalt see the land before [thee], but thou shalt not go thither to the land which I give the children of Israel.
