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 this is the commandment, with the statutes, and the ordinances, which the Lord your God hath commanded to teach you, to do them in the land whither ye are passing 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.
In order that you mayest 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 in order 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 them; that it may be well with thee, and that ye may increase greatly, as the Lord the God of thy fathers hath spoken to thee, [in] the 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, is the One Eternal Being.
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 in 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 thou shalt speak 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 as frontlets between thy 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 hath sworn unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give unto 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 wells hewed out which thou didst not hew, vineyards and olive-trees, which thou didst not plant; and thou hast eaten and art 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 that thou do not forget the Lord, who hath brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, from the house of slavery.
13 “Nou va krent sèlman SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an; nou va adore Li e sèmante pa non li.
The Lord thy God shalt thou fear, 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 nations 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 watchful God among you: so that the anger of the Lord thy God may not 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 tempt the Lord your God, as ye tempted 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 eyes of the Lord; in order that it may be well with thee, and that thou mayest go in and take possession of the good land which the Lord hath sworn unto thy fathers,
19 lè nou pouse mete deyò tout lènmi nou yo devan nou, jan SENYÈ a te pale a.
To cast out all thy 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 should ask 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 shalt thou say unto thy son, We were bondmen unto Pharaoh 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 let come signs and wonders, great and sore, on Egypt, on Pharaoh, and on all his household, 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 us he brought out from there; in order to bring us in, to give us the land which he had sworn 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; that it might be well with us at all times, and 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 accounted righteousness unto us, if we observe to do all this commandment before the Lord our God, as he hath commanded us.
