Deteronòm 6
1 “Koulye a, sa se kòmandman an, lwa ak jijman ke SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, te kòmande mwen pou enstwi nou, pou nou ta kapab fè nan peyi kote nou va travèse pou posede a,
And these [are] the commands, and the ordinances, and the judgements, as many as the Lord our God gave commandment to teach you to do so in the land on which you enter to inherit it.
2 pou nou menm avèk fis nou yo avèk pitit a fis nou yo kapab gen lakrent SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, pou kenbe tout règleman ak kòmandman Li yo, ke Mwen te kòmande nou, tout jou nan vi nou yo, e pou jou nou yo kapab pwolonje.
That you may fear the Lord your God, keep you all his ordinances, and his commandments, which I command you today, you, and your sons, and your sons' sons, all the days of your life, that you may live many days.
3 “O Israël, ou dwe koute e fè atansyon ak sa, pou sa kapab ale byen pou nou, e pou nou kapab miltipliye anpil, jis jan ke SENYÈ a, Bondye a zansèt nou yo te pwomèt nou an, nan yon peyi ki koule avèk lèt ak siwo myèl.
Hear, therefore, O Israel, and observe to do them, that it may be well with you, and that you may be greatly multiplied, as the Lord God of your fathers said that he would give you a land flowing with milk and honey: and these [are] the ordinances, and the judgements, which the Lord commanded the children of Israel in the wilderness, when they had gone forth from the land of Egypt.
4 “Tande, O Israël! SENYÈ a se Bondye nou. SENYÈ a se youn!
Hear, O Israel, The Lord our God is one Lord.
5 Nou va renmen SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, avèk tout kè nou, avèk tout nanm nou, e avèk tout fòs nou.
And you shall love the Lord your God with all your mind, and with all your soul, and all your strength.
6 Pawòl sa yo ke mwen ap kòmande nou jodi a, va sou kè nou.
And these words, all that I command you this day, shall be in your heart and in your soul.
7 Nou va enstwi yo avèk dilijans a fis nou yo, e nou va pale sou yo lè nou chita lakay nou, lè nou mache nan chemen, lè nou kouche, ak lè nou leve.
And you shall teach them to your children, and you shall speak of them sitting in the house, and walking by the way, and lying down, and rising up.
8 Nou va mare yo kòm yon sign sou men nou, e yo va tankou yon ransèyman sou fwon nou.
And you shall fasten them for a sign upon your hand, and it shall be immoveable before your eyes.
9 Nou va ekri yo sou chanbrann pòt lakay nou ak sou pòtay yo.
And you shall write them on the lintels of your houses and of your gates.
10 “Alò, li va rive ke lè SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, mennen nou nan peyi ke Li te sèmante a zansèt nou yo, Abraham, Isaac, ak Jacob pou bannou, vil ki gran e ki vrèman bèl, ke nou pa t bati,
And it shall come to pass when the Lord your God shall have brought you into the land which he sware to your fathers, to Abraam, and to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give you great and beautiful cities which you did not build,
11 epi kay yo ki plen avèk bon bagay ke nou pa t ranpli, ak sitèn yo fouye ke nou pa t fouye, chan rezen ak chan doliv ke nou pa t plante, epi nou manje e satisfè;
houses full of all good things which you did not fill, wells dug in the rock which you did not dig, vineyards and olive yards which you did not plant, then having eaten and been filled,
12 alò, veye nou menm, pou nou pa bliye SENYÈ a ki te mennen nou sòti nan peyi Égypte la, andeyò kay esklavaj la.
beware lest you forget the Lord your God that brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
13 “Nou va krent sèlman SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an; nou va adore Li e sèmante pa non li.
You shall fear the Lord your God, and him only shall you serve; and you shall cleave to him, and by his name you shall swear.
14 Nou p ap swiv lòt dye yo, okenn nan dye a pèp ki antoure nou yo,
Go you not after other gods of the gods of the nations round about you;
15 paske SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, nan mitan nou, se yon Dye jalou; otreman, kòlè Bondye nou an va limen kont nou, e Li va efase nou sou fas tè a.
for the Lord your God in the midst of you [is] a jealous God, lest the Lord your God be very angry with you, and destroy you from off the face of the earth.
16 “Nou pa pou mete a leprèv SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, jan nou te fè nan Massa a.
You shall not tempt the Lord your God, as you tempted him in the temptation.
17 “Avèk dilijans, nou dwe kenbe kòmandman a SENYÈ yo, Bondye nou an, ak temwayaj avèk lwa Li yo, ke Li te kòmande nou.
You shall by all means keep the commands of the Lord your God, the testimonies, and the ordinances, which he commanded you.
18 “Nou va fè sa ki dwat e bon nan zye SENYÈ a, pou sa kapab ale byen pou nou e pou nou kapab antre e posede bon peyi ke SENYÈ a te sèmante pou bay a zansèt nou yo,
And you shall do that which is pleasing and good before the Lord your God, that it may be well with you, and that you may go in and inherit the good land, which the Lord sware to your fathers,
19 lè nou pouse mete deyò tout lènmi nou yo devan nou, jan SENYÈ a te pale a.
to chase all your enemies from before your face, as the Lord said.
20 “Lè fis nou mande nou nan tan k ap vini yo, pou di: ‘Kisa temwayaj, lwa ak jijman, ke SENYÈ a te kòmande nou yo vle di?’
And it shall come to pass when your son shall ask you at a future time, saying, What are the testimonies, and the ordinances, and the judgements, which the Lord our God has commanded us?
21 Alò, nou va di a fis nou yo: ‘Nou te esklav a Farawon an Égypte, e SENYÈ a te mennen nou sòti an Égypte avèk yon men pwisan.
Then shall you say to your son, We were slaves to Pharao in the land of Egypt, and the Lord brought us forth thence with a mighty hand, and with a high arm.
22 Anplis, SENYÈ a te montre gwo sign dezas ak mèvèy devan zye nou kont Égypte, Farawon, ak tout lakay li.
And the Lord wrought signs and great and grievous wonders in Egypt, on Pharao and on his house before us.
23 Li te mennen nou sòti kote sa a pou mennen nou antre, pou bannou peyi ke Li te sèmante a zansèt nou yo.’
And he brought us out thence to give us this land, which he sware to give to our fathers.
24 “Pou sa, SENYÈ a te kòmande nou pou swiv tout lwa sa yo, pou krent SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, pou pwòp avantaj pa nou, e pou nou kapab siviv, jan sa ye jis rive jodi a.
And the Lord charged us to observe all these ordinances; to fear the Lord our God, that it may be well with us for ever, that we may live, as even today.
25 Sa va sèvi kòm ladwati pou nou si nou fè atansyon pou swiv tout kòmandman sila yo devan SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, jis jan ke Li te kòmande nou an.
And there shall be mercy to us, if we take heed to keep all these commands before the Lord our God, as he has commanded us.
