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,
These now are the commandements, ordinances, and lawes, which the Lord your God commanded me to teach you, that ye might doe them in the land whither ye go to possesse 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 thou mightest feare the Lord thy God, and keepe all his ordinances, and his commandements which I commaund thee, thou, and thy sonne, and thy sonnes sonne all the dayes of thy life, euen that thy dayes may be prolonged.
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.
Heare therefore, O Israel, and take heede to doe it, that it may go well with thee, and that ye may increase mightily in the land that floweth with milke and hony, as the Lord God of thy fathers hath promised thee.
4 “Tande, O Israël! SENYÈ a se Bondye nou. SENYÈ a se youn!
Heare, O Israel, The Lord our God is Lord onely,
5 Nou va renmen SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, avèk tout kè nou, avèk tout nanm nou, e avèk tout fòs nou.
And thou shalt loue the Lord thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soule, and with all thy might.
6 Pawòl sa yo ke mwen ap kòmande nou jodi a, va sou kè nou.
And these wordes which I commaund thee this day, shalbe in thine heart.
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 thou shalt rehearse them continually vnto thy children, and shalt talke of them when thou tariest in thine house, and as thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest downe, and when thou risest vp:
8 Nou va mare yo kòm yon sign sou men nou, e yo va tankou yon ransèyman sou fwon nou.
And thou shalt binde them for a signe vpon thine hand, and they shalbe as frontlets betweene thine eyes.
9 Nou va ekri yo sou chanbrann pòt lakay nou ak sou pòtay yo.
Also thou shalt write them vpon ye postes of thine house, and vpon thy 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 when the Lord thy God hath brought thee into the land, which he sware vnto thy fathers, Abraham, Izhak, and Iaakob, to giue to thee, with great and goodly cities which thou buildedst not,
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;
And houses full of all maner of goods which thou filledst not, and welles digged which thou diggedst not, vineyards and oliue trees which thou plantedst not, and when thou hast eaten and art full,
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 least thou forget the Lord, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage.
13 “Nou va krent sèlman SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an; nou va adore Li e sèmante pa non li.
Thou shalt feare the Lord thy God, and serue him, and shalt sweare by his Name.
14 Nou p ap swiv lòt dye yo, okenn nan dye a pèp ki antoure nou yo,
Ye shall not walke after other gods, after any of the gods of the people which are 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 thy God is a ielous God among you: ) least the wrath of the Lord thy God be kindled against thee, and destroy thee from the face of the earth.
16 “Nou pa pou mete a leprèv SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, jan nou te fè nan Massa a.
Ye shall not tempt the Lord your God, as ye did tempt him in Massah:
17 “Avèk dilijans, nou dwe kenbe kòmandman a SENYÈ yo, Bondye nou an, ak temwayaj avèk lwa Li yo, ke Li te kòmande nou.
But ye shall keepe diligently the commandements of the Lord your God, and his testimonies, and his ordinances which he hath commanded thee,
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 thou shalt doe that which is right and good in the sight of the Lord: that thou mayest prosper, and that thou mayest go in, and possesse that good land which the Lord sware vnto thy fathers,
19 lè nou pouse mete deyò tout lènmi nou yo devan nou, jan SENYÈ a te pale a.
To cast out all thine enemies before thee, as the Lord hath sayd.
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?’
When thy sonne shall aske thee in time to come, saying, What meane these testimonies, and ordinances, and Lawes, which the Lord our God hath commanded you?
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 shalt thou say vnto thy sonne, We were Pharaohs bondmen in Egypt: but the Lord brought vs out of Egypt with a mightie hand.
22 Anplis, SENYÈ a te montre gwo sign dezas ak mèvèy devan zye nou kont Égypte, Farawon, ak tout lakay li.
And the Lord shewed signes and wonders great and euill vpon Egypt, vpon Pharaoh, and vpon all his housholde, before our eyes,
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 brought vs out from thence, to bring vs in, and to giue vs the land which he sware vnto 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.
Therefore the Lord hath commanded vs, to doe all these ordinances, and to feare the Lord our God, that it may goe euer well with vs, and that he may preserue vs aliue as at this present.
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.
Moreouer, this shall be our righteousnes before the Lord our God, if we take heede to keepe all these commandements, as he hath commanded vs.
