Deteronòm 4
1 “Koulye a, O Israël, koute règleman avèk jijman ke mwen ap enstwi nou pou nou fè, pou nou kapab viv. Antre ladann e pran posesyon a peyi a ke SENYÈ a, Bondye a zansèt nou yo, ap bannou.
And now, thou Israel, here the comaundementis and domes whiche Y teche thee, that thou do tho, and lyue, and that thow entre and welde the lond which the Lord God of youre fadris schal yyue to you.
2 Nou p ap mete yon mo sou sa ke mwen ap kòmande nou an ni retire nan li; pou nou kapab kenbe kòmandman a SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, ke mwen te kòmande nou yo.
Ye schulen not adde to the word which Y speke to you, nether ye schulen take awei `fro it; kepe ye the comaundementis of youre Lord God, which Y comaunde to you.
3 “Zye nou gen tan wè sa ke SENYÈ a te fè nan ka Baal-Peor a, paske tout moun ki te swiv Baal-Peor yo, SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, te detwi yo nan mitan nou.
Youre iyen sien alle thingis whiche the Lord dide ayens Belphegor; how he alto brak alle the worschiperis `of hym fro the myddis of you.
4 Men nou menm ki te kenbe fèm a SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, nou vivan jodi a, nou chak.
Forsothe ye that cleuen to youre Lord God lyuen alle `til in to present day.
5 “Nou wè, mwen te enstwi nou règleman avèk jijman yo jis jan SENYÈ a, Bondye mwen an, te kòmande mwen an, pou nou ta fè konsa nan peyi kote nou ap antre pou posede a.
Ye witen that Y tauyte you the comaundementis and riytfulnessis, as my Lord God comaundide to me; so ye schulen do tho in the lond whiche ye schulen welde,
6 Pou sa, kenbe yo e fè yo paske sa se sajès avèk konprann nou devan zye a tout pèp ki va tande tout règleman sa yo e ki va di: ‘Anverite, nasyon sa a se yon pèp ki saj e ki gen konprann.’
and ye schulen kepe, and schulen fille in werk. For this is youre wisdom and vndurstondyng bifor puplis, that alle men here these comaundementis, and seie, Lo! a wise puple and vnderstondynge! a greet folk!
7 Paske ki gran nasyon ki genyen, avèk yon dye ki osi touprè li kòm SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, nenpòt lè nou rele Li?
Noon other nacioun is so greet, `not in noumbre ether in bodili quantite, but in dignite, that hath Goddis neiyynge to it silf, as oure God is redi to alle oure bisechyngis.
8 Oswa ki gran nasyon ki genyen avèk règleman ak jijman ki dwat tankou sa ke mwen ap mete devan nou jodi a?
For whi what other folk is so noble, that it hath cerymonyes and iust domes, and al the lawe which Y schal `sette forth to dai bifor youre iyen?
9 “Sèlman, veye tèt ou e kenbe nanm ou avèk dilijans, pou ou pa bliye bagay ke zye ou te wè yo; pou yo pa kite kè nou pandan tout jou lavi ou; men fè fis ou yo ak fis a fis ou yo konnen yo.
Therfor kepe thi silf, and thi soule bisili; foryete thou not the wordis whiche thin iyen sien, and falle tho not doun fro thin herte, in alle the daies of thi lijf. Thou schalt teche tho thi sones and thi sones sones.
10 Sonje jou ke ou te kanpe devan SENYÈ a, Bondye ou an, nan mòn Horeb, lè SENYÈ a te di mwen: ‘Rasanble pèp Mwen an pou Mwen kapab kite yo tande pawòl Mwen, pou yo kapab aprann gen lakrent Mwen pou tout jou ke yo ap viv sou latè yo; epi pou yo kapab enstwi pitit pa yo.’
Telle thou the day in which thou stodist bifor thi Lord God in Oreb, whanne the Lord spak to me, and seide, Gadere thou the puple to me, that it here my wordis, and lerne for to drede me in al tyme in which it lyueth in erthe, and teche hise sones.
11 “Nou te pwoche e ou te kanpe nan pye mòn nan. Mòn nan te brile avèk dife jis rive nan kè syèl la: tenèb, nwaj avèk fènwa.
And ye neiyiden to the `roote of the hille, that brente `til to heuene; and derknessis, and cloude, and myist weren therynne.
12 Epi SENYÈ a te pale avèk nou soti nan mitan dife a: nou te tande son pawòl yo, men nou pa t wè okenn fòm——sèlman yon vwa.
And the Lord spak to you fro the myddis of fier; ye herden the vois of hise wordis, and outirli ye sien no fourme.
13 Konsa, Li te deklare bay nou akò ke Li te kòmande nou pou fè a, sa vle di, Dis Kòmandman yo. Li te ekri yo sou de tab an wòch.
And he schewide to you his couenaunt, which he comaundide, that ye schulden do, and `he schewide ten wordis, whiche he wroot in two tablis of stoon.
14 SENYÈ a te kòmande mwen nan tan sa a pou enstwi nou lwa avèk règleman li yo, pou nou ta kapab fè yo nan peyi kote nou pral travèse pou posede a.
And he comaundide to me in that tyme, that Y schulde teche you cerymonyes and domes, whiche ye owen to do in the lond whiche ye schulen welde.
15 “Pou sa, veye tèt nou, akoz ke nou pa t wè okenn fòm nan jou ke SENYÈ a te pale avèk nou nan Horeb la, soti nan mitan dife a,
Therfor kepe ye bisili youre soulis; ye sien not ony licnesse in the dai in which the Lord spak to you in Oreb, fro the myddis of the fier;
16 pou nou pa aji yon jan konwonpi, e fè yon imaj taye pou nou menm nan fòm a okenn bagay, ki sanble a ni mal, ni femèl,
lest perauenture ye be disseyued and make to you a grauun licnesse, ether an ymage of male, ether of female;
17 sanblab a nenpòt bèt ki sou latè, oswa sanblab a nenpòt zwazo a zèl ki vole anlè,
a licnesse of alle beestis that ben on erthe, ether of bridis fleynge vndur heuene,
18 ki sanblab a nenpòt sa ki ranpe atè, ki sanblab a nenpòt pwason ki nan dlo anba tè a.
and of crepynge beestis that ben moued in erthe, ether of fischis that dwellen vndur the erthe in watris; lest perauenture,
19 Veye ke nou pa leve zye nou vè syèl la pou wè solèy la, lalin avèk zetwal yo, avèk tout lame syèl la, e mennen pou adore ak sèvi yo, sila ke SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, te chwazi pou tout lòt pèp anba tout syèl la.
whanne thin iyen ben reisid to heuene, thou se the sonne, and moone, and alle the sterris of heuene, and be disseyued bi errour, and worschipe tho, `bi outermer reuerence, and onour, `bi ynner reuerence, `tho thingis whiche thi Lord God made of nouyt, in to seruyce to alle folkis that ben vndur heuene.
20 Men SENYÈ a te pran nou e mennen nou sòti nan founo fè a, an Égypte, pou nou kapab yon pèp pou pwòp posesyon pa Li, tankou jodi a.
Forsothe the Lord took you, and ledde out of the yrun furneys of Egipt, that he schulde haue a puple of eritage, as it is in `present dai.
21 “Alò, SENYÈ a te fache avè m akoz de nou, e Li te sèmante pou mwen pa t travèse Jourdain an; epi pou Mwen pa ta antre nan bon peyi ke SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, ap bannou kòm eritaj nou an.
And the Lord was wrooth ayens me for youre wordis, and swoor that Y schulde not passe Jordan, and schulde not entre in to the beeste lond, which he schal yyue to you.
22 Paske mwen va mouri nan peyi sila a. Mwen p ap travèse Jourdain an, men nou va travèse e pran posesyon a bon peyi sila a.
Lo! Y die in this erthe; Y schal not passe Jordan; ye schulen passe, and schulen welde the noble lond.
23 Pou sa, veye nou, pou nou pa bliye akò a SENYÈ a, ke Li te fè avèk nou, e fè pou nou menm yon imaj taye nan okenn fòm kont sila SENYÈ Bondye nou an, te kòmande nou an.
Be thou war, lest ony tyme thou foryete the couenaunt of thi Lord God, which he made with thee, and lest thou make to thee a grauun licness of tho thingis whiche the Lord forbeed to make.
24 Paske SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, se yon dife voras, yon Bondye ki jalou.
For thi Lord God is fier wastynge; `God, a feruent louyere.
25 “Lè nou devni papa a pitit, pitit a pitit, gen tan rete lontan nan peyi a, aji yon jan konwonpi, fè yon zidòl nan fòm a nenpòt bagay, e fè sa ki mal nan zye a SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, pou pwovoke Li a lakòlè,
If ye gendren sones, and sones of sones, and ye dwellen in the lond, and ye be disceyued, and make to you ony licnesse, and doen yuel bifor youre Lord God, that ye terren hym to greet wrathe,
26 Mwen rele syèl la avèk tè a kòm temwen kont nou jodi a, ke nou va vrèman peri vit nan peyi kote nou ap pase Jourdain an pou posede a. Nou p ap viv pandan anpil tan ladann, men nou va detwi nèt.
Y clepe witnesses to dai heuene and erthe, `that is, ech resonable creature beynge in heuene and in erthe, that ye schulen perische soone fro the lond, which ye schulen welde, whanne ye han passid Jordan; ye schulen not dwelle long tyme therynne, but the Lord schal do awey you,
27 SENYÈ a va gaye nou pami pèp yo; epi nou va rete pa anpil an kantite pami nasyon kote SENYÈ a bourade nou yo.
and schal scatere `in to alle hethen men, and ye schulen leeue fewe among naciouns, to whiche the Lord schal lede you.
28 La, nou va sèvi dye yo, zèv men a lòm yo, bwa avèk wòch, ki pa wè ni tande, ni manje ni santi anyen.
And there ye schulen serue to goddis, that ben maad bi `the hond of men, to a tre and a stoon, that `seen not, nether heren, nether eten, nether smellen.
29 Men soti la, nou va chache SENYÈ a; epi nou va jwenn Li si nou chache Li avèk tout kè nou e avèk tout nanm nou.
And whanne thou hast souyt there thi Lord God, thou schalt fynde hym; if netheles thou sekist with al the herte, and with al the tribulacioun of thi soule.
30 Lè nou nan gwo pwoblèm e tout bagay sa yo rive nou; nan dènye jou yo, nou va retounen a SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, e nou va koute vwa Li.
Aftir that alle thingis han founde thee, that ben biforseid, forsothe in the laste tyme, thou schalt turne ayen to thi Lord God, and thou schalt here his vois.
31 Paske SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, se yon Bondye ki plen avèk mizerikòd; Li p ap lage nou, ni detwi nou ni bliye akò avèk zansèt nou yo ke Li te sèmante a yo menm.
For thi Lord God is merciful God; he schal not forsake thee, nethir he schal do awey outirli, nethir he schal foryete the couenaunt, in which he swoor to thi fadris.
32 Anverite, mande, koulye a, konsènan ansyen jou avan nou yo, soti jou ke Bondye te kreye lòm sou latè a, e mande soti nan yon pwent syèl la jis rive nan lòt la. Èske yon gran bagay konsa janm fèt, oswa èske yo janm tande anyen konsa?
Axe thou of elde daies that weren bifor thee, fro the day in which thi Lord God made of nouyt man on erthe, axe thou fro that oon ende of heuene `til to the tother ende therof, if sich a thing was doon ony tyme, ether if it was euere knowun,
33 Èske okenn pèp te janm tande vwa Bondye pale ak yo soti nan mitan dife, jan nou te tande l e viv la?
that a puple herde the vois of God spekynge fro the myddis of the fier, as thou herdist, and siest;
34 Oswa èske yon dye te janm eseye pran pou li menm yon nasyon soti nan yon lòt nasyon pa eprèv, pa sign ak mirak avèk lagè, pa yon men pwisan, pa yon bwa lonje e pa gran bagay etonan, jan SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, te fè pou nou an Égypte devan zye nou?
if God `dide, that he entride, and took to him silf a folc fro the middis of naciouns, bi temptaciouns, myraclis, and grete wondris, bi batel, and strong hond, and arm holdun forth, and orrible siytis, bi alle thingis whiche youre Lord God dide for you in Egipt, `while thin iyen sien;
35 A nou menm, li te montre ke nou ta kapab konnen ke SENYÈ a, se Bondye; nanpwen lòt sof ke Li menm.
that thou schuldist wite, that the Lord hym silf is God, and noon other is, outakun oon.
36 Soti nan syèl yo, Li te kite nou tande vwa Li pou korije nou; epi sou latè, Li te kite nou wè gran dife Li a; epi nou te tande pawòl Li soti nan mitan dife a.
Fro heuene he made thee to here his vois, that he schulde teche thee; and in erthe he schewide to thee his grettiste fier, and thou herdist the wordis `of hym fro the myddis of the fier;
37 Paske Li te renmen zansèt nou yo; pou sa, Li te chwazi desandan apre yo. Epi Li menm, pou kont Li, Li te mennen nou sòti an Égypte avèk gran pouvwa Li,
for he louyde thi fadris, and chees her seed aftir hem. And he ledde thee out of Egipt, and yede bifore in his greet vertu,
38 epi te pouse devan nou tout nasyon ki pi gran e ki pi pwisan ke nou menm yo, pou mennen nou antre pou bannou teren pa yo kòm eritaj, jan li ye nan jodi a.
that he schulde do awei grettiste naciouns, and strongere than thou, in thin entryng, and that he schulde lede thee ynne, and schulde yyue to thee the lond `of hem in to possessioun, as thou seest in `present day.
39 Pou sa, konnen jodi a e fè sa antre nan kè nou, ke SENYÈ a, Li menm, se Bondye anwo nan syèl la e anba sou tè a; nanpwen lòt.
Therfor wite thou to dai, and thenke in thin herte, that the Lord him silfe is God in heuene aboue, and in erthe bynethe, and noon other is.
40 Pou sa, nou va kenbe règleman Li yo avèk kòmandman Li yo ke mwen ap bannou jodi a, pou li kapab ale byen avèk nou e avèk zanfan apre nou yo; epi pou nou kapab viv anpil tan sou tè ke SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, ap bannou pou tout tan an.”
Kepe thou hise heestis, and comaundementis, whiche Y comaunde to thee, that it be wel to thee, and to thi sones after thee, and that thou dwelle mych tyme on the lond, which thi Lord God schal yyue to thee.
41 Epi Moïse te mete apa twa vil lòtbò Jourdain an vè lès,
Thanne Moises departide thre citees biyende Jordan at the eest coost,
42 pou yon moun ki touye yon moun ta kapab sove ale, ki te san entansyon touye vwazen li san ke li pa t gen rayisman anvè li nan tan pase yo; pou li ta kab sove ale nan youn nan vil sa yo:
that he fle to tho, that sleeth his neighbore not wilfuli, and was not enemy bifore oon and `the tother dai, and that he mai fle to summe of these citees;
43 Betser, nan dezè sou platon an pou Ribenit yo, Ramoth nan Galaad pou Gadit yo ak Golan nan Basan pou Manasit yo.
Bosor in the wildirnesse, which is set in the feeldi lond, of the lynage of Ruben; and Ramoth in Galaad, which is in the lynage of Gad; and Golan in Basan, which is in the lynage of Manasses.
44 Alò, sa se lalwa ke Moïse te mete devan fis Israël yo;
This is the lawe which Moises `settide forth bifor the sones of Israel,
45 sa yo se temwayaj avèk lwa avèk règleman ke Moïse te pale a fis Israël yo, lè yo te sòti an Égypte,
and these ben the witnessyngis, and cerymonyes, and domes, whiche he spak to the sones of Israel, whanne thei yeden out of Egipt,
46 anfas Jourdain an, nan vale ki anfas Beth-Peor a, nan peyi a wa Sihon an, wa Amoreyen yo ki te rete Hesbon an, ke Moïse avèk fis Israël yo te bat lè yo te sòti an Égypte la.
biyende Jordan, in the valey ayens the temple of Phegor, in the lond of Seon, kyng of Ammorreis, that dwellide in Esebon, whom Moises killide. And the sones of Israel yeden out of Egipt, and weldiden `the lond of him,
47 Yo te pran posesyon a teren pa li an avèk teren Og la, wa Basan an, de wa Amoreyen ki te anfas Jourdain yo vè lès,
and the lond of Og, kyng of Basan, twei kyngis of Ammoreis, that weren biyende Jordan, at the rysyng of the sunne;
48 soti nan Aroër ki vin touche vale Arnon an, jis rive nan Mòn Sion (sa vle di Hermon),
fro Aroer which is set on the brenke of the stronde of Arnon, `til to the hil of Seon, which is Hermon;
49 avèk tout Araba anfas Jourdain an vè lès, jis rive nan lanmè Araba, nan pye pant mòn Pisga a.
thei weldiden al the pleyn biyende Jordan, at the eest coost, `til to the see of wildirnesse, and `til to the rootis of the hil of Phasga.
