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,

Now this is the commandment, the statutes, and the ordinances, which the LORD your God commanded to teach you, that ye might do them in the land whither ye go over to possess 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 fear the LORD thy God, to keep all His statutes and His commandments, which I command thee, thou, and thy son, and thy son's son, all the days of thy life; and that thy days 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.

Hear therefore, O Israel, and observe to do it; that it may be well with thee, and that ye may increase mightily, as the LORD, the God of thy fathers, hath promised unto thee — a land flowing with milk and honey.

4 “Tande, O Israël! SENYÈ a se Bondye nou. SENYÈ a se youn!

HEAR, O ISRAEL: THE LORD OUR GOD, THE LORD IS ONE.

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 love the LORD thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.

6 Pawòl sa yo ke mwen ap kòmande nou jodi a, va sou kè nou.

And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be upon thy 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 teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thy house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.

8 Nou va mare yo kòm yon sign sou men nou, e yo va tankou yon ransèyman sou fwon nou.

And thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thy hand, and they shall be for frontlets between thine eyes.

9 Nou va ekri yo sou chanbrann pòt lakay nou ak sou pòtay yo.

And thou shalt write them upon the door-posts of thy house, and upon 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 it shall be, when the LORD thy God shall bring thee into the land which He swore unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give thee — great and goodly cities, which thou didst 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;

and houses full of all good things, which thou didst not fill, and cisterns hewn out, which thou the didst not hew, vineyards and olive-trees, which thou didst not plant, and thou shalt eat and be satisfied —

12 alò, veye nou menm, pou nou pa bliye SENYÈ a ki te mennen nou sòti nan peyi Égypte la, andeyò kay esklavaj la.

then beware lest thou forget the LORD, who brought thee 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.

Thou shalt fear the LORD thy God; and Him shalt thou serve, and by His name shalt thou swear.

14 Nou p ap swiv lòt dye yo, okenn nan dye a pèp ki antoure nou yo,

Ye shall not go after other gods, of the gods of the peoples that 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 a jealous God, even the LORD thy God, is in the midst of thee; lest the anger of the LORD thy God be kindled against thee, and He destroy thee 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.

Ye shall not try the LORD your God, as ye tried 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.

Ye shall diligently keep the commandments of the LORD your God, and His testimonies, and His statutes, 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 do that which is right and good in the sight of the LORD; that it may be well with thee, and that thou mayest go in and possess the good land which the LORD swore unto thy fathers,

19 lè nou pouse mete deyò tout lènmi nou yo devan nou, jan SENYÈ a te pale a.

to thrust out all thine enemies from before thee, as the LORD hath spoken.

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 son asketh thee in time to come, saying: 'What mean the testimonies, and the statutes, and the ordinances, 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 thou shalt say unto thy son: 'We were Pharaoh's bondmen in Egypt; and the LORD brought us out of Egypt with a mighty 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 showed signs and wonders, great and sore, upon Egypt, upon Pharaoh, and upon all his house, 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 He brought us out from thence, that He might bring us in, to give us the land which He swore unto 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 commanded us to do all these statutes, to fear the LORD our God, for our good always, that He might preserve us alive, as it is at this day.

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 it shall be righteousness unto us, if we observe to do all this commandment before the LORD our God, as He hath commanded us.'
